I use wood glue, but not braid nails. I use 1" pin nails. It holds great and if you have a blow out.. its easier to repair as oppose to 18 gauge braid nails. On another note: Love your video's. I like the details you give. Thank you for making this.

Yeah, I'm sure the pins would hold out until the glue dries, I just didn't own a pin nailer when I made the original video.

Love these!! Great tips!! For the bottom, my thinking...make it exactly the width of an extra picket all the way around, then you can hold a scrap piece on the edge to know where the piece under it will start. You can also use that scrap piece to make sure the bottom is sitting correctly. I also think it would great to make the back hinge open so you don't have reach all the way in to put the light in...

@maverickdesignswoodworking Ай бұрын
Thanks! I thought about the hinge idea too, but it seems like a significant amount of extra work and materials that you really wouldn't be able to get your money back. If you raise the prices too high, nobody will buy them. I decided to make them as simply as I could in order to get the highest possible profit margin. But if you're making them for yourself and not selling them, it's a great idea.

I have 2 Shapeoko cnc’s. I’ve been wanting to do these for a few years but never got around to making them. I like your rectangular box over the squyyou usually see these made with. You’ve put some great ideas in my head, thanks!❤ I would think if you spent a little time on a jig for the base mounting to the body. Time is money! Much faster batch processing them with a jig. Less time measuring all sides to center. Just slide bottom into jig. The jig is a 2 level design. 1st level is a piece of wood the same thickness of your base. It has a 3 sided hole cut out so base slides in easily. 2nd piece is glued to 1st. It has 3 sided cutout the size of the body. Once the base is inserted then glue edge of body and set on top of base in jig. Perfect alignment every time. Once glue dry enough to hold, take out and shoot brads. Or build upside down jig. The same basic design. 1st is body on table. Have the jig so it sits somehow on the body. Once the jig is sitting on body you put you a bead of tightbond on. Then put base in jig on top of glue and brad nail. Now all base plates are aligned perfectly every time.

Cool project. I have seen other projects that had similar issues sticking the electrode (protruding dowels) onto a board after assembly. I catch myself wondering if you drilled a smaller hole into the board and the dowel sort of like a dowel joint or just drilling a hold into the board the same size as your electrode and gluing them in would have worked and been a bit stronger. Anyway, cool project and thank you for sharing it.

Give everyone a tip on how to attach your template. Buy peel and stick shelf paper for around $7 a roll. Cut piece to fit board, peel off the back and attach it to your project, then attach the pattern to the shelf paper with spray adhesive or whatever is your liking. It's over all cheaper than painters tape (almost $8 a roll at some places), and it peel off real nice without any residue. Steve Good is the person that recommended this to me a while ago. If you like scroll sawing, that guy has you covered, highly recommend. Now, I need to make a few of these for my wife and daughter
@maverickdesignswoodworking
@maverickdesignswoodworking 2 ай бұрын
I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure it's all that much cheaper. Between the roll and the spray adhesive, I can't imagine it being cheaper than using about 8 inches of painters tape, though it would definitely hold better. Also, I'm kinda lazy, and it seems like extra work, lol. But I'll give it a try, and if I do another video on these I'll mention it if I like it.

You could also use a CNC or a router, but if you use a router you're going to need templates. There's a guy here on KZbin and on Facebook that sells templates, called Wallace Workshop. But after you've spent money on all those templates, you could have just gotten a cheap scroll saw from Harbor Freight or Wen, or even a used one from Facebook marketplace, and then you can do any design you want and not be limited to only the templates you can get.

These are all minwax stains from Lowes. In the video I'm using the semi transparent tint base, but only because I already had it and don't want to waste it. I strongly recommend you use the minwax solid tint base. Go check out my 2 videos on staining American flags to see why. The colors I'm using are hunter green, true black, and pure white.

Love your videos and teaching style. Excellent presentation. I’m a newbie so I’m wondering why you chose the brad nailer over a pin nailer? If you had to buy just one to start out with, which one would you choose and battery or pneumatic? Thanks Bob
@maverickdesignswoodworking
@maverickdesignswoodworking 2 ай бұрын
Thanks. You could use either, I suppose, but pins are headless which makes a smaller hole, but because cedar is so soft and this wood so thin, my concern is that they would not hold it together as well as brad nails. You'd also have to play around with your air pressure (or depth on a battery one) so the pin doesn't push all or most of the way through the top piece. And to tell the truth, I didn't have a pin nailer yet when I made the first video, so using the brad nailer was a necessity. I prefer air over battery because the battery ones are so big and heavy. The air tools just feel more elegant to me, for lack of a better word.

You need to look down the aisle where they keep the premium woods like, red oak and popular. There is a section for cedar which includes fence slats. Now I live in the Midwest (Michigan), so idk where you are at and I'm assuming cedar is available. I just wanted to let you know they keep it separate from the other fence slats at my store in case you overlooked it.

I was wondering why you (not just you) would put the side panels showing? Why not put them behind the face you don’t see them? If you stain or water wash a color(white wash) the sides would be very noticeable and not aesthetically pleasing. Seen other’s do it as well. Just curious. Thanks for great info! 👍☺️
@maverickdesignswoodworking
@maverickdesignswoodworking 2 ай бұрын
A couple of reasons. One, so I could get the shapes close to the edges and still have that extra half inch support on each side (some of the face designs are wide). But also so that the brad nails are showing at the sides rather than the face. Because we're staining and these are rather inexpensive items that I don't want to waste time and materials to make prettier, I don't want to have to deal with filler and sanding because they're on the face.
