Start by using the X Carve CNC from inventables to carve out the Superman logo in the wood to a depth of about 3mm.
Using a blowtorch melt the solder over the wood so it fills the cut, the wood with solder inlay is then taken to the belt sander where its sanded until the solder is flush with the wood, if there are any holes or gaps you can use a soldering iron to fill them.
To finish the piece use the blow torch to burn the wood for a really great looking effect.

Nothing is more annoying that watching video with a shaky camera this simple Steadicam will solve that
The Steadicam is used to hold your camera or smartphone steady and reduce handshake and uses counter weights and a UNI joint to achieve these
This woodworking project uses bent lamination by soaking the Steadicam thin strips of wood in water until they become soft and flexible; they are then bent around a round form to achieve the desired shape while wet.
After drying they are glued together to give the final shape, I use wedges as clamps for the parts which apply a lot more pressure to specific parts that trying to use clamps.
The Handle is a UNI joint also made from wood, this can be made using simple tools that most people have like a saw and a hand drill.
This fast project will help you capture better quality video from your phone by holding it still and allowing you to tilt the phone at any angle and it wont slip.
Using Easel.com I carved out the project on the X-Carve CNC machine, after that I used some food grade silicone and mixed the 2 parts together to activate them and pour them into the mold.
I left the silicone for 24 hours to cure them removed it from the wood leaving a silicone mold of Darth Vader, Tie Fighter and the rebels logo.
Using a double boiler I melted the chocolate poured it in the mold and then let it cure in the fridge, the chocolate came out of the silicone mold pretty easily and tastes awesome.

I was excited when I spoke to Inventables and was offered their new desktop CNC 3D Carver machine called the X-Carve for review, as CNC is a technology I had wanted to get into for a long time.
This video will give you a brief overview on how to make one of these CNC machines as well as giving my opinion on the build and the X-Carve CNC, I also discuss Inventables software that runs the CNC called Easel which is free to use.
Inventables also have a great community forum on their website that is worth checking out if you are thinking about buying an XCarve 3D Carver CNC or even just curious on how they work.
Inventables have given me the X Carve at no cost and only asked me to review the CNC build and give my honest opinion.
Welcome to quick cuts this is a new on my woodworking channel where I share news for my woodworking channel and quick tips to make your life easier in the workshop.
Today we are talking about Invtentables and desktop CNC, Babies and more.

This woodworking project is also an easy beginner’s project and solves your lathe tool storage problems.
In this woodworking video I’m going to teach you how to build a practical lathe chisel storage rack, we will go through how to cut the pieces of MDF on a table saw and how to lay them out as well as some practical tips on spray painting your woodworking projects.
We use PVC pipe to hold the lathe tools in place firmly without scratching or marking them.
This rack holds 22 woodturning chisels in a small box that is easily moved around the workshop, you could also use French cleats to stick it to the wall when not in use. Also a big thanks to everyone for helping us reach our 10,000 subscriber mark, it’s really very exciting for me to get there.
0:00 Welcome to woodworking for kids Hi I'm Warren and welcome to woodworking for kids were gonna do a little segment take 2
Today we are going to make a multifunction phone and tablet stand and a drink coaster. Woodworking is a great way to spend time with your kids or your grandkids and teach them about lots of things a lot of woodworking things are about problem solving its about getting that mindset in their head as well how to do things so were going to go through this one just a little simple project this week but were going to do some more involved projects with them very shortly I’ve also got lots of little jigs and little bits an pieces that help make things safer for them and make it easier for them to saw or nail and bits and pieces like that so lets get stuck into it.
One of the first world problems we all seem to face is watching YouTube videos on our phones and tablets leaning them up against something we all lean them up against something and they never stand the fall over so what were going to do is a make a couple of little stands out of these 2 pieces of wood these are about 100mm or 4 inches square maybe a bit more this is Mulga wood which is a beautiful wood so once we put a finish on these they will be very pretty they will be they will be very pretty that’s right and cool so what we are going to do is we are going to teach the kids how to use a saw how to use a chisel and hammer so what I have done is I have cut 2 notches in a piece of wood what this will act as a little guide for the saw they can just drop the saw into there and saw away and hopefully wont bounce it out of there and cut their fingers so all I need to do check which way the grain is running line that up make sure its nice and square.
So we have got our wedge and our little piece of wood and we have stuck it in our Moxon Vise we built the other week so the kids can just drop this saw straight on there and start sawing and be relatively safe you want to go first okay stand here keep the blade straight up and down and go back an forth stand back a bit that’s it stand back a bit that’s it
We just cut we have got our 2 little cuts down here and then all we need to do just chisel this little notch out and then sand it and were done I’m just going to put a couple of little score marks here so it does not split the wood on the other side and daddy can I use the kids one you can use the kids one that’s your great grandfathers here you go bang it with that give it a good whack hey that’s it got it good job high 5 that’s it that’s all done okay the last bit were just going to take off all these sharp edges so we will just put it in the vise do I use a saw you don’t use the saw you use the hand plane so what do I so let me show you okay let me show you how to do it this bit here is razor sharp underneath here so we never touch this bit we hold it with our hands like this like your racecar like a racing car and run it across that’s it there you go this side
Okay I’m going to sand the piece of wood that’s should be enough now I'm going to turn it over and do the other side now I can use this as a drink coaster and a device holder and now you can watch your favorite woodworking channels on YouTube who's your favorite woodworker Steve Ramsay mine is you oh thank you I got one Hey Steve so this is a nice little project we took no time at all to knock this out it was a nice little introduction to the workshop for the kids so we have got some more involved projects coming up for them I’m just going to put a little bit of Danish oil on it and this should look pretty nice I just don't want the smell for them and you should leave a like and comment and Subscribe you should subscribe that’s it go on subscribe go on go on subscribe and you can also click here for a link to some of our other YouTube videos I hoped you like this quick little project and make a bunch of them.Resawing on a table saw tips with a Microjig Grr-Ripper, Woodworking safetyWarren Downes - One Wood2014-12-24 | Learn how to quickly Resaw wood using your table saw and a Grr-ripper from Microjig, this handy woodworking DIY tip can be used on small pieces of wood as well as larger ones.
Hey guys just a super quick video I've got this beautiful little piece of Mulga wood that I want to split in half, Mulga wood comes from the more arid regions of Australia on the east coast so its probably going to be near impossible to find overseas but you know if you can find it gorgeous being from an arid part of the country its very slow growing and that makes it really dense so this stuff is like rock its super hard so what I want to do is split it in half if I had a band saw which I would love Laguna Jet sponsorship maybe come on that would be the perfect tool for the job it would be nice and easy I don't have a band saw and I don't want to cut it in half with a handsaw because it will take me forever so I'm going to use my table saw so I'm just going to quickly show you how to use a Grr-ripper with the auxiliary fence how to do this fairly easy and safely I've just got a big lump of timber I glued double sided tape a couple of pieces together
We are going to sit the Grr-ripper on top the axillary fence has a little catch here so as it comes through its going to catch that wood and push it through so id have to worry about it pushing back at me so what we are going to do is set it all up so I can put my piece of wood there I'm going to butt up this piece of wood against it and I'm going to there is a couple of little notches in the front of these that you can just drive a screw into fairly easy one at the back now my center leg is pushing on top of the piece of wood so I don't have to readjust that so this is what I end up with so its going to go through the saw like that lets quickly make this cut
Then the next step is just to flip it down and then pass it through.
And there you go we have got it split in half pretty well little bit of sanding and we will be good to go for our next little woodworking project hope you like this quick trip quick tip.
0:00 Todays Woodworking project is this cheap and easy Moxon bench vise that you can knock out in no time at all.
Today's woodworking project is this moxon style bench vise this is a great little vise pretty cheap to make it cost me $27 - $28 for all the parts not including the wood for the wood I just used some hardwood I had lying around some Australian Brush box but you could use anything just get some plywood laminate it together it will cost you nothing even just some 2" x 6" boards would be fine as well there a couple of little cheap options its better than selling your kidney for those standard moxon vice bench vise kits that you get around the place nice little simple handles that you can turn on pretty fast its quiet sturdy when something is in there its staying in there so I'm quiet happy with this little project.
All you need for this project is some wood some washers some bolts some nuts and some threaded rod.
The piece of wood I have picked it does have a cup in it so what I'm going to do is use my hand plane just to get it out.
I'm just going to use a Grr-ripper and a Grr-rip block if you haven't seen a grip block these are another product from Microjig they have these little drop down feet so when you push it down they drop on and catch the wood and push it through make life nice and easy for you and nice and safe so you get to keep your fingers.
For the bolts I am using 3/4" threaded rod so I've drilled the hole there but I haven’t gone all the way through what I'm going to do is just use the point of the forstner bit and just to finish all the way through and then I'm going to come at it from the other side with a bigger forstner bit which is going to mount the bolt that will bind these 2 together Now I’ve drilled out the holes so what were going to do just get our threaded rod with the bolt on the end and drop it through and you can see it just sits a little bit larger than the hole so all we will do is trace around it.
Using a really sharp chisel I'm just going to go around and widen this hole.
I'm just going to use my trusty little Veritas low angle block plane and I'm just going to take the corners off all the inside bits on the vise just like in case there is a little bit of racking or something like that when I clamp the vise I'm not going to get dents in my wood.
For the handles what I've done is got the treaded rod and a friend to weld the nut on to the end of it so we can use that the same as we did in the back of the vise so I will just chisel it out and this will become the handle.
So I cut these out with the saw and then just did a bit of shaping on the disk sander so up with a just a nice simple shape that I like I've just drilled a 3/4" hole here for a piece of dowel which will suit as our handle. Okay now all we got to do is epoxy the threaded rod into that so what I normally do is get some kitchen grease proof paper this is also handy if you want to wrap it around the bars on your clamps and things like that when your gluing up to stop mess its good you know does not stick to anything so glue come off easy its cheap to get rid of so all you do is you just you have a A and B part you mic these 2 together in equal parts I've gone for the 5 minute quick epoxy as well quick stir
Okay now I'm just going to apply a little bit of finish I wasn't going to go to crazy with it what I was going to use was some of this Woodsheen which is just a mixture of I think its beeswax and Tung oil just gives nice sort of lustre and I think it will look good on the front of the vise obviously you don't put anything on the inside of the vise because you don't want that transfer to your wood WOW that looks pretty good.

In this project video follow up we will go through the triton router features and demonstrate why they are particularly good for a router table with the adjustable depth handle and micro adjuster.
They are easy to mount to a board and with the depth adjust that comes through the base of the router you have an instant router table.
The Triton TRA001 has 3.5 horse power so it has plenty of power for even large router bit, another feature is you can remove the spring in the TRA001 Triton router so it wont compress with time if left in the router table.
The JOF001 is a great little router as well with 1.5 horse power its easy to manage and also include the bottom adjuster so can also be used in a router table.
A feature I love about these routers in you can change the bit with one wrench and depending on the router table thickness you can change it above the level of the table as the collet protrudes, so you don’t have to reach underneath the table.
The power switch also has some nice safety features with a slide back cover that lock when the router collet is locked.
We also demonstrate the Musclechuck quick change router collet which can change a router bit in seconds.
00:00 Hey there after last weeks laptop video i had a few people ask me what if i don't have a router table how can i do it, well we can make one so we going to make one in 10 minutes for 10 bucks probably less than 10 dollars.
all we need is a piece of wood for the fence a wing nut and a bolt and a piece of wood that is going to sit as out table so to start with we just take off the base plate off your router
sit the base plate down on and then with a pencil trace the holes where the screws are going to go. just around the middle it doesn't mater if its not exactly in the middle then where just going to drill out our holes and then with a forstner bit we are just going to widen the hole a little bit
okay i have found the center and now I'm just going to use a forstner bit to drill out the hole that the router bit will come through.
okay now we have drilled out holes to mount the router and now its time to mount the fence I’m just using a small bit of wood i used something like this for years and i was quiet happy with it you can do more complex things if you need to do something a bit higher you can do a right angle type fence just for this quick little exercise we going to use this this is fine if you are just doing corners or template routing or whatever we will just drill out our holes for that.
and countersink on the other side with a forstner bit.
okay now were going to quickly mount the fence just going to thread the bolt though from the underside. fence on wing nut it doesn't have to be super tight just so it sits there firmly not to mount the router were just going to drop the screw into the hole.
i have just used the original screws from the router base plate and made a really deep hole with the Forstner bit ideally you would probably want to to get some longer bolts.
And that’s it simple as I've got my adjustable fence the router is mounted to the bottom now to use all you can do is clamp it to the bench or you can clamp it to a couple of saw horses and take it out on site for this one i will clamp it straight on to the bench here. 2 clamps should be enough normally and then to set the fence all we do is bang a clamp on there and then we just run whatever we want along there you know cut a dado a dado with that this ones even adjustable. so i can wind my router bit up and down quiet easily without having to fiddle around underneath all done and that will work pretty well.
Okay lets give it a quick test out just got a simple cut setup here just dado on this little piece of wood so we will pop our safety equipment on and give it a cut
now you can do a few little modifications to this thing to make it work a little bit better for you you can do a bigger fence nothing hard there just a couple of right angle with some reinforcing on the side so if you want a bit of height another thing i used to do is i have this little device so if I'm cutting finger joints you can see where i have plowed through already and then i can just run it through adjust the fence move it over and that used to work pretty well for me.
bada boom bada bing you can make this for under $10 in 10 or 15 minutes i hope you like this quick little project and go and make it now you have go no excuse not to make that laptop table we made last week so click here to go and check out that video or if you learn how to make a wood workbench with a Kreg HD pocket jig click here i hope we have done enough to get your subscription so check out those videos and then go do something. shoo why are you still here go cut something go cut something some wood not yourself.
------------------- Shop for MicroJig, Musclechuck and other woodworking tools here: www.onewood.com.au -------------------
To start with we design the template to make the laptop table in Sketchup and then use that to cut out the templates on the scroll saw, you can also use a coping saw or jigsaw for this process.
The template is then screwed to the wood blanks and cut out on the router table using a flush cut router bit and a Microjig Grr-Ripper for safety.
We then glue the pieces together three at a time, which is easier to align and then sand the inside of the pieces before final assembly and glue up.
After final glue up and we have sanded the piece to 1000grit with the power sander we can start the woodworking finishing process.
I used Hard Burnishing oil for the finish, which gives a super smooth finish while still retaining that close to the wood feeling.
I apply 2 coats of burnishing oil 30 minutes apart and after the last coat before it dries I take some 400 grit sandpaper and rub the surface of the wood which forms a slurry of sawdust and oil that fills an pores in the wood, additional oil can be added to the sandpaper to boost the slurry and add lubrication, using the same process up to 1200 grit sandpaper to give a super smooth finish. After 24-48 hrs the laptop stand can be buffed using a lambs wool cloth. ------------------
