A well-deserved gift from my wife.

For this project I went super simple and just did boiled linseed oil. Normally I use Teak or Tung oil, but I didn't want to have the wood darken too much.

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 thx.

Thanks for subbing and enjoy the work!

For this design I used linseed oil. I wanted simple and an oil that wouldn't darken the wood. Normally I use teak or tung oil on many of my other designs.

Sounds like selling on consignment may be the bigger issue. I do not have a mold specfic video, but have you considered doing craft shows. A board like this would sell from 75$-$150 depending on the level of craft show you are doing. Just a thought. I don't sell on consignment or online shops like ETSY for this reason - I don't feel I get enough return on investment. Just my .02 - best of luck to you and thanks for watching!

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 Thanks so much for your input. I'll do some looking for craft shows.

Amazing what can get done when you have great help!

:)

100% agree. I had a bunch of cool woodworking videos playing today and it was nice not having it phone sized for the first time in the garage. Thanks for watching and enjoy that northeast summer! Much better than a Texas summer.

I have a woodworking and woodshop channel. I added some fun and new to the shop, so why wouldn't I post a fun 15-second short about it? Was your comment worth it?

girl bffr leave him alone, he's having fun and living his best life 💀💀💀 get a life dude

In Houston there are two lumber mills I purchase from: Mason Mills for bulk and most hardwood, and then Clark's for harder to get exotics.

This was basically a one off project. I'm terrible about saving designs, but you can see the full drawing in the video. Sorry.

Addie says thank you Grandpa!!!

Addie says thank you very much!

She says thank you very much!

Eu realmente gostei disso! Obrigado por assistir!

Agreed 100%. Nothing better than something handmade that comes from the heart.

That is not a crucifix. That is a cross. A crucifix has the image of Christ still on the cross. We all know Christ is not still on the cross.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I appriciate it very much, and yes, it has brought great joy!

Using CA glue with an accelerator certinaly been faster, but also more expensive. Unless it's going to be an awkward glue up where I might not be able to get good clamping pressure - then I would use CA. In a regular application such as this I always default to wood glues. Defintely a good option though. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! I do love my Lego Batman collection!

I don't have plans posted, sorry. You can see all the necessary measurements at 44 seconds in. Thought about only after I messed up my initial drawing.

Thank you!

Thank you, I was super happy with the final look. Just what I had envisioned.

That is fantastic feedback, thank you! That was a very dense and hard wood I was cutting, and truth be told - I need to get my blade sharpened. It's time.

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

You absolutely should. It's not a particularly tough piece, so it's perfect for beginning and mid level wood workers. Musician? Cool, what type of music are we talking?

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 Yes for sure. My channel features shred guitar techniques and music theory. I’m also a singer so I have some new songs I’ve written that are Patriotic. Please check them out! Thanks!

Thank you very much! I hope she loves it for years to come.

That's awesome! I hope you do, and please feel free to use my design. Measurements on the drawing are at 44 seconds in. Best of luck!

Thank you very much!

Cody Francis is who you are hearing. He has lots of great songs, and I use many of his songs in my videos. I found him on epidemicsound.com. Thanks for watching!

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 Thank you ya I really appreciate you letting me know who it is I really enjoyed the songs and would like to listen to more of them. He’s got a great voice and great music.I’m definitely going to look him up. Keep up the great work.

So I'm glad you said that. I have multiple pieces of ash and maple that I got in a mix pile that I use. However, looking at it in person, I'm 99% sure it was one of my pieces of Ash. I could be wrong, but love both species of wood. Thanks for watching!

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 45 yrs of experience tells me it is not ash. Ash resembles oak. It is an open porous wood while maple is closed grained and smooth. Best wishes!

By far my favorite part! Seeing her joy, because she's an awesome person that I'm so thankful to have in my life. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the sub!

Thank you so much!

Many many thanks.

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it.

I felt like the PVC route was easier than the black iron I kept seeing people use. Still working well after like four years. Defintely lots of options out there.

I'd probably pull my back out is what I would do. :)
