How to make a pet cremation urn

These cremation urns are a beautiful way to remember loved pets that are now gone. I’ve made a handful of these now as gifts for friends and thought I’d share the process of making them here. These are mitered boxes with a picture frame front. A good way to practice and learn some techniques. I will be posting more videos soon so please like and subscribe. Thanks!

[@soitiscremationjewelryandu5915]

Wow, this pet urn is really beautiful and cute.

[@badmandansanchez1823]

I know you were making these for pets but I've been trying to come up with a great design for my dad's ashes. I'm going to lean on your design. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@andykrask3184]

beautiful enough for mom and dad

[@theelectronwrangler6416]

My cat died recently and I have been looking around for design ideas for an urn. Thank you for showing this; I like the embedded paw print. The crematorium will be taking her pawprint, so I can embed it in the wood; I really like that.

Thank you and sorry for you loss! Pets are family and losing one can be very hard to handle.

[@Unicorn161]

Great vid. I wish I had the skills to do this.

[@rickking8481]

NICELY DONE

[@zackoblinger7596]

Thank you!

I’ll be making this for my beloved Dog we had to put down this last week. What size did you end up with for each panel?

[@Azurko]

What are the dimensions of the box? These look great and have given me an idea for my own dog's ashes.

[@zackoblinger7596]

Thanks! Dimensions can vary for these. I try to stay around 6.5x6.5 x9h. From what I’ve gathered, most of the time the ashes come in a box from the vet. I make the urn just big enough to fit that box inside.

[@shawngates9053]

What size is the picture frame 3x5 or 4x6? Excellent job, I’m trying to build one for our pet whom just passed

[@zackoblinger7596]

Thanks! The pictures are 4x6 if I remember right.

[@mg_woodworks2246]

what kind of wood did you use? what type of wipe on oil/stain did you use?

[@zackoblinger7596]

The urn being made during the video is walnut with maple splines. The other two are made from white oak/walnut splines and eastern cedar/ maple splines. The finish I used was just a wipe on poly. Watco if I remember right.

[@mg_woodworks2246]

TY for the reply and information. beautiful work.

[@zackoblinger7596]

MK Grabau thanks!

[@jasonskinner3290]

What script is that?

[@dickiebrewer168]

Great video! i am now subscribed! what blade do you use for your miter splines? Mine chips out and doesn't leave a flat bottom. Also, I immediately ordered the MillrightCNC and can't wait to get it. Is it hard to use? Can I download AutoCAD? or is it just pdf or jpg? Thanks in advance and keep up he great projects!

[@zackoblinger7596]

That’s awesome! Thank you! For the splines, I use a Freud dado stack. Sometimes painters tape and a slow feed rate will help with the chipping. For the flat bottom you’ll want to make sure the blades you use have a flat cut. Most combination blades will leave a middle groove or the bat ears. I have a Freud rip blade specifically for 1/8” splines. As far as Millright goes, I made a video on how I use mine that should help. It’s a great little machine. Thanks for watching!

[@dickiebrewer168]

Did you get the patterns for the MDF with the kit?

[@zackoblinger7596]

The mdf is pre cut. Just gotta put it all together

[@dickiebrewer168]

Wow! even better! I thought i'd have to cut it all out myself! I am sooooo stoked! Keep up the awesome vids!

[@Bravo_Kilo_Kilo]

Great job. How do you secure the ashes inside?

[@zackoblinger7596]

Thanks! Usually, the ashes are in a box from the vet. I’ve made my urns just big enough to fit the original box inside.

[@rchavez5056]

Great job. Those came out excellent!! Maybe not making the glass permanent would be better. Odds are they will never go back in but if the glass broke they would be going back in to repair.

[@zackoblinger7596]

Good call. Since this video, I haven’t made any more but I’ve got an idea I’d like to try to resolve that problem for future urns.

[@Azurko]

Another option to keep that from happening is to use plexi-glass instead.

[@adrianflores9255]

Can you make one for me?

[@zackoblinger7596]

Message me on Instagram if you’d like and we can work something out :)

[@macyhilvers9784]
