Woodworking BarcelonaI'm glad to present you my first furniture project of my YouTube channel. I made a pair of bedside tables for my brothers in law. My intention was to achieve a scandiavian style with a conic tilted legs without having to purchase specific hardware. Another particularity was about the inside of the box. My brother in law wanted a folding front and my sister in law wanted a drawer. So externally both looks the same, not on the inside. Besides, my brother in law asked me to add a mobile charging slot on the top of the table top. I use my CNC to achieve that being concious that I could achieved same results with my router. I used MDF and Beech wood for this project (plus some cheap hardware like bolts, threads, hinges and slides). I hope you enjoy this as much as I did crafting these night stands.

After restoring my anvil and making a base for it, I realized how loud it was when working with it. My goal is to dampen that noise. There are many other ways to muffle it that I'm not going to be exploring in this video, such as fabricating a heavier stand, adding heavy chains... However, those do not fit in with my desire for quick, easy, and affordable solutions - preferably with the materials I already have around my workshop.
The results shown in the video come from tests performed without precision equipment and affected by subjective assessments (mine). The purpose of said tests was to measure the relative effectiveness of several simple steps one can take to silence their anvil.

**This video has been reloaded. It was originally uploaded on November 27. Inexplicably it was deleted from this channel. **
I’m using chainsaw mill from a Chinese supplier (TOPQSC). It’s an affordable jig, and easy to put together and use. You can watch how easy it is to assemble on the bottom-right corner. I’ll link to a video on my secondary channel of the full process.
Before milling a log, it’s best to remove all the bark and dirt you can. Neglecting either will increase wear on your saw, and dull it faster.
I’m using split firewood as wedges to prevent the log from moving sideways while milling it. I recommend mounting the chainsaw with the jig facing down and partially supported by the log.
For this job I’m using a Husqvarna 266xp with a 20” bar, my first petrol chainsaw.
Once the chainsaw is securely attached to the milling jig, we can fasten some planks to the log to create a flat reference surface. Here is my first mistake. As you will see, I attached those too far from the top, so I couldn’t support the jig. I was on a bit of a rush, and the top of the log was flat enough to try it freehand. The results may have been better had I not pushed too far the plastic wedges during the cut. This lifts the whole slice and pushes the chain away from its natural direction. After the first cut, I had a ridge at the end of the cut, which caused issues on the second cut. I also made another mistake using a regular cross-cut chain, which leaves a pretty rough surface and cuts slower.
At the end of the second cut you can see how the cut started to go crooked and how the guide stopped running by hitting the ridge from the first cut. I solved this by flattening the surface by hand with a hatchet.
On the remaining cuts the chainsaw is outfitted with a milling chain (10deg cutting edge) which makes the cut faster and leaves a better surface finish.
The third cut and beyond were pretty straight forward, without any other issues. You can see how I make a full cut, without rushing, in 76 seconds.
This log is from a European Chestnut that was felled on February of this year. Chestnut is considered a hardwood and, compared to oak, is nearly as strong but lightweight and half as hard, so it’s a really great wood to work with. The heartwood is durable but, as you may see during the footage, the sapwood is vulnerable to insect damage.
For chain sharpening on the job site I used an appropriate file size for the chain (in this case, a 7/32” or 5.5mm diameter round file) attached to a file guide to maintain the correct angle. I got 5 90x35x4cm (35x14x2inch) chestnut boards of decent quality out of that milling job. Overall I’m very satisfied.

People of Devil Forge sent me a DFPROF1+1D forge, which is suitable for forging and heat treating small objects like knives.
Those who follow me on Instagram and Facebook already know I made my firsts knives the last summer with a stock-removal approach. To obtain a better heat treatment I thought I should get a proper forge and that moves me also to get more interested in Blacksmithing.
Before start using the new forge need some prep, which I'm going to show you briefly in this video.

This old stove is a gift from my brother, who bought it at a local flea market. My workshop is not connected to my house, so in winter it regularly gets down to 0C/35F inside, which is a pain.

It's a great opportunity for upcycling this type of plastic that we all have around. Processing HDPE is really tedious but the result deserves it. Besides, this material will last you more than any other wooden mallet head. In all previous videos about melting HDPE only show one way, using a kitchen or portable furnace. At this time I was likely to experiment using a tool that is present in most of the workshops: a heat gun. I may take a little longer, but It's easier to prevent damage to the plastic. During this video I also show how to repair small voids or defects. Also, I hope you enjoy this project. Leave your comments and questions. I’ll be pleased to answer all of them.

Design of the top piece come from one of the many features of Easel (free 3d carving software from Inventables), such a pattern generator that brings this nice polygon carved surface. Finally I painted the all V groves and the rest of the nightstand in flat paint white to pop up the beatiful top surface of the OSB.

If you are interested in buy a ring like this, please visit: http://etsy.me/1M6683BHow to Make a Pencil HolderWoodworking Barcelona2015-06-16 | Hi everyone! This time I wanted to start experimenting with concrete and wood. For this project we need some pre-work doing the mold. As you can see, for the outer shape I used a cardboard tube but for the inner one I didn't find one with the needed diameter. So I used the lathe to turn a small piece of soft lumber (yellow pine) to be the inner shape of the mold.
As you will see I recommend to shake the concrete before curing to achieve a uniform piece. Otherwise you leave it without doing this to achieve a irregular shape with bubbles (you will find a picture of this in my facebook and instagram as well).
Also, you will notice I broke accidentally the concrete piece while I was unmolding it. I can assure you that after repairing it with quick concrete you will obtain a rock solid piece.
Finally, I applied clear wood wax in the whole piece to obtain a dust-free and glossy finish.
I hope this video inspires you to try new things. Please, like and share my work to help me keep doing this. Thanks.How to Make a Baseball BatWoodworking Barcelona2015-05-07 | Hi everyone!

A friend of ours asked to make one for her mother. In this project my wife helped me with the design and she came with the idea to combine the wood with the cutting vinyl (she have been working for some years as signwriter and has vast experience working on this material). So after sketching the design, we ordered the vinyl on a local store. I prepared the wooden clock with Bosse Cedar, specie which I’ve never worked before. This time, I decide to flatten, jointing and thicknessing the wood without the router and table saw help. I only used my nº4 and nº7 cheap hand planes. I loved to work this wood due its pleasant smell as you work it. For the wall hanging I decide to use a french cleat system, method which I’ve been using for some time before with satisfactory results. Before applying the vinyl I needed to prepare a uniform and non-porous surface to assure a good binding. After apply a walnut tint to increase the contrast between the wood and the vinyl, I applied 4 coats of spray lacquer, sanding with 500 grit between coats. For the first time, my wife decide to participate on the crafting project, by applying the vinyl. I’m pretty satisfied with the results as well as our friend. I hope you enjoy this project.
