How to Make a Wood Candy Machine | DIY Dispenser

[@FamilyGames]

This is a fantastic idea. I saw these in the shop and it lead me to this build. I hope you're the one making them for stores!

[@ImGonnaMake]

Love your t-shirt and love that you made the slots in the screws all horizontal.

[@PneumaticAddict]

Oh heck yeah! Looks like you've got an eye for the details. Thanks ✌

[@KevinSmith-hj6fm]

Quite possibly the best intro to a video so far.

[@xunilpenguin]

Nice idea .. headed out to the barn to see if I can replicate! :)

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Very nice design! I like you choice of walnut and liked the trick you used with the hinges. Thanks for sharing your ideas and know-how!

[@GreekPackDragon]

I love your love thy neighbor shirt.

[@BruceAUlrich]

This is a really cool idea, Elisha! I've not seen anything like it before. The walnut looks great with the color of the candy.

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thanks Bruce! Can't go wrong with walnut, right?

[@WoodshopMike]

Loved watching this project come together Elisa! Your intro had be crackin' up!

[@osomxl]

For making cleaner mortises or for any cuts using chisels, use an exacto knife or utility blade knife to score the outline instead of a pencil. They make specific knives called a marking knife for just this purpose. Much more accurate and severs the fibers resulting in a much cleaner edge.

[@hebert415]

Thank you! I really enjoy your channel. I'm learning a lot.

[@Xquisitink]

Awesome build and I love the idea. The brass and walnut is always a great combination. Good job.

[@srachko86]

A great idea. If I may add - I would make the bottom part out of thicker material and then use a router to make a little bowl like space, so that the round candy doesn't run away :)

[@PneumaticAddict]

Good thinking

[@brocknchrist]

Also maybe a small taper on the top edge as a funnel into the candy cavity. Just a 45⁰ bevel or similar.

[@sun27g]

Good build....brass pins on walnut would give that classy finish to your cigar dispenser....I love the cigar dispenser 😍

[@Thom4123]

Quick answer for any and all hand tools that helped me a lot is Paul Sellers. I’m just seeing some snide remarks that are not called for as woodworkers and Makers community is the best. Paul Sellers will dive deep into hand tools from beginners on up changed my Woodworking for a more hybrid. But Awesome job on the candy dispenser. Take Care

[@darkmennis]

Great, simple project. I think you should put clear acrylic on both sides.

[@Woodden]

What a great candy machine.

[@johnhartley3596]

Nice project. Thanks

[@reservoirinc7750]

Great video. Cutting the acrylic is less unpredictable if scored first with a razor :)

[@yashashdave123]

Great work ! I think you should have cut that candy dispenser opening a little smaller, like for only one ! Magnets are a good idea but id suggest some lighting strips alongside.

[@Alientcp]

I liked this project, i might actually try it.

[@DanielJAudette]

Nice project. Only change I think I would make is a angled piece inside to direct the candy out and a little rail at the edge to keep the candy from hitting the table.

[@JolienBrebels]

That's a fun idea!

[@kennymysak2079]

Nice idea the only thing I can see to different is to add the magnets like you said and maybe a knob too the brass piece to make it a little easier for some that might not have the grip but that my 2 cents worth. Keep up the great videos

[@pedrocarvalhojr7567]

Olá! Brazil!! Parabens!!!

[@flix4u]

I saw your plans fir this a few months ago, and I know there are a number of variations. Do you think I could double the depth of the sides and round dispenser to hold a larger amount of candy and/or things like peanuts?

[@vern8890]

very cool.

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Looks great

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Fantastic work! Love the look of this piece and might need to make one for a Christmas gift. You asked about chisel work. One thing that I found that helped me was to score the line so the chisel has a recess to sit into. There are marking gauges for it, but I used a box cutter and it worked well. Great job!!

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! And thanks for the box cutter tip ✌

[@russelhaynes]

I like it! I’m thinking about using an electric guitar volume knob. It would cover the round hole in the acrylic.

[@PneumaticAddict]

That would be DOPE!

[@shanewarren9872]

OMG, I just discovered your channel tonight while watching your collaboration with Sam and Chris. I was scrolling through your videos and came across your wood candy dispenser. I actually found this on Pinterest and made one a few months ago and made two more since then. My kids think it’s so cool. Love the hair btw.

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! YAY! I love hearing that

[@heavymist75]

Sweet! ................. and yes, pun intended! Great work!

[@MikeTheMaker1]

What about a little notch in the base for the candy to fall into?

[@willwyatt7023]

I love your T-Shirt.

[@athmostafa2462]

NICE !🍬🍬

[@fbf6062]

What wood have you used? Thank you

[@robertwalls467]

What nice project and so well presented. You asked for a tip with fitting the hinges and my tip is don't use butt hinges. Look for concealed box hinges. Some accurate marking out then drill four holes and you're done. PS. Please buy a drill press. Even a cheap one is life changing! - Maybe that's a big call but you will never regret it.

[@Mauro4life]

For small hinges like that I’ve learned that it’s easier to use a small flat head as the chisel. I’d give that a try next time.

[@BlackDogWoodwork]

May I suggest watching some Paul Sellers KZbin videos on how to cut clean lines with a chisel. He's is a Master at the whole hand tool thing. I found using some of his techniques helped a great deal. Awsome project, I'm thinking of making one of these as well for chocolate coverd coffee beans. Cause not only do I have a sweet tooth, I also have a caffeine habit. 😜

[@thejohnhend]

Use a marking knife to score the lines for your hinge mortises. Then chop out the waste material with your chisel but keep it a little bit back from the score lines. When you have the material removed, the last step is to pare to the line using the chisel. That way the bevel on your chisel won’t push the flat end back past the score line which is why you usually end up with an oversized mortise if you don’t remove the waste first. Great work and keep checking craigslist for some great deals on a table saw and drill press. Always better to get a well made older heavy cast iron machine for a song rather than a brand new shiny made in china tool.

[@markbrownsell7443]

Sweet idea. Try setting up your router to the depth of the hing and just cleaning the corners out with the chisel. It will come out perfect

[@ddm3125]

Love thy shirt!

[@PneumaticAddict]

Haha thank you! It's one of my favorites

[@jamesrawlings8493]

Perhaps add a small triangular piece to the back of the candy feed to have it flow out. And as Alan Weaver said, something to catch the candy. Very pretty project.

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you ✌

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice project friend! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

[@Poopdar]

Fun build! Using a marking knife to trace around hinges like that will help give you nice clean edges. It makes a "knife wall" so you can't slip past the line. Other than that, keep em laser sharp and practice, practice!

[@heyimamaker]

Not sure how I missed this, but glad that I caught it. I think that my kids would have this empty in no time :)

[@williamshaffer2617]

I use a marking knife to mark around he hinges before chisel work

[@DobynsMedia]

This is super cool! Did you sand the oil and wax, or just let it dry?

[@PneumaticAddict]

I just let it dry. It stayed nice and smooth

[@esoqueloarreglepapa]

Una idea genial😜....algún día te la copio para mi canal jeje🤪 por cierto ya tienes un suscriptor fiel

[@PaulinaPaulino]

Really cute project, and while I think the brass screws on the acrylic look pretty good, do you think it might have been a better option to have cut a dado in the sides and slid the acrylic down from the top? Also, in the base, how about an indentation to catch the candy.... which might give you some extra chiseling practice? :)

[@ericjohnson4768]

If you want to hand chisel it just takes time and practice to improve but you do want to take shallow passes a little at a time, better to be too small than too big or too deep, you can always take more away. Some folks will use a spot of super glue to hold the hinge in place and then trace around it with a marking knife to create a chisel ledge to start from.

[@Aardrijk1]

Really fun video. Magnets would be a nice touch. BTW... When I watched this, the recommended videos didn't show on the screen. (on my phone)

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you. Dang! I'll have to look into that

I like this alot. I may have to modify the bottom a bit because I want to make this for cat food.

[@mattmays9063]

As far as the chisels advice goes; Lots of practice and really sharp chisels.

[@DavidDiBonaWoodworking]

Quick tip for chiseling out the hing material. Don't start right on the line, The pressure from the chisel pushes back on the wood causing the fibers to bunch up and you end up off your mark. just move ahead of the line about a 1/16.

[@MGMakes]

Oh man you would need to add a padlock to the top of that, as I love me some M & M's. Fantastic project pal. 👊👊👊

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! ✌

[@mattmays9063]

Awww so you're so cute and talented. Great work. Totally subbing.

[@francoislemaner6157]

may be just: add a ramp at the exit in order for the candy's to go out alone course a sort of stop or boundary for it no to go on the floor! may be a sort of funnel for the filling..? almost all my Technics words here! otherwise it's perfect i love that kind of devices! Francois

[@The78bluedevils]

Try a marking gauge, or make your own

[@maddhax0r]

Some suggestions for using a chisel: 1) Mark your lines with a marking knife or razor knife. 2) Don't start at your line, start inside the line to remove the bulk of the material. When cutting at your line you should only be removing a small amount of material. 3) Sharp chisels, sharp chisels, sharp chisels. 4) Like everything else, practice makes perfect.

[@glenstribling6123]

That's the second time I have heard this about not starting at the line. SO helpful. It made all the difference.

[@ljliberto]

Nice project. I have one suggestion. Try using hole saws next time instead of the router.

[@goodgoat3096]

Nice idea, but there is no dimension in the plans to locate the round cutout.

Insert a wedge au the bottom such that the candy will all exit without use of your finger to dig it out.

[@hypnolobster]

Peanut m&ms are surprisingly attractive against walnut.

Bonjour à tous j'aime bien ce projet est-ce- qu'on pourrait me donner les plans en centimètres merci salutations

[@brookemaples8411]

To make acrylic easer to cut, put packing tape on it first. It works like a lubricant so it won’t melt. And if you have it a scroll saw work’s amazing instead of a jigsaw.

[@angelogenovese3599]

Using a marking knife to score the border of the area you are notching out with the hinges would help, the biggest thing though would be that it looked like you were trying to remove too much wood all in one go. If you use the knife, deepen the cut a bit with the chisel, then pare away a layer of the wood, deepen the cut with the chisel again, and pare away some more, etc. Paul Sellers has a video where he installs similar hinges on a small box - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZS0coeHgd93q9k Neat project, I may make something like this for my nieces & nephews.
