Awesome result!

Well done ! Definitely on my to do list. Thanks.

Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@MichiganHiker]

Very nice project this is something that's going to go on my list. Contrary to what others said, thank you for the narration. I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@alandavidson7557]

Looks good. I'll have to make one.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

They are very fun to make and are great gifts.

[@terrylanning4124]

awesome this will be my next project

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for watching the video! Would love to see a picture of your coffee scoop one day!

[@surfearth1]

Good quality video

[@ncsanta]

Thank you

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

oh man! thanks for that! i'm excited to make one of my own. i bet the coffee will even taste better, too. ha ha! great work!

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for watching! These are a blast to make and use in your kitchen.

[@rollingstone3017]

Lovely scoop. I'd really like to try and make one too. Would like to have seen the Dremel part, where you sanded out the dimple.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the comment! Seems like I used a polishing or sanding attachment that was round on the tip. Kutsall makes some attachments that will work with Dremel.

[@shedmanx3640]

Well that video earned you a sub. I checked your channel and bonus! There’s heaps of other things to do.😀

[@OrdinaryLatvian]

Love it! I'll be sure to do it once I get myself a band/scrollsaw.

[@efrancis19]

Don't wait! Get a $7 coping saw from Lowe's. It will take longer, but you will have a huge sense of accomplishment when you get it done.

[@aarotukeva4957]

se on kulsa!

[@lifthard70]

Thanks for the idea... I was actually able to talk my wife into joining me in the shop and we each made one... Took about 3 hours... Be strong and courageous.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

That's awesome! Sounds like y'all had a good time in the shop. Thanks for the comment!

[@Ratimus_]

Nice work! Have you considered drilling the hole with the forstner bit and then removing the center hole with the router? I imagine there'd be less sanding if you did it that way.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

That's an excellent idea. I think that should work pretty well.

[@stevedarnell8444]

Use two Forster bits drill part way with one, but grind the point off the other one to finish the hole.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

I will have to give this a try. Thanks for the idea.

[@billy19461]

Steve Darnell you can use a spade bit with the point cut off and rounded.

[@Sam-tg4ii]

3:07 you can now use a forstner bit on the drill press to clean the circumference of that hole without going too deep. The wood needs to be clamped down so it does not move around without the bit spur in the wood, of course.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Yes, I definitely prefer using the Forstner bit on the drill press. A lot easier to manage. That's what I used to make the bowls for these scoops. I was careful to plunge the bit only a certain depth. Thanks for watching.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Think I get what you're saying. You're saying come back over that hole with the forstner to clean up the jagged hole shown in 3:07. That's a great idea.

[@Sam-tg4ii]

@@fouroakscrafts7240 Exactly. The alternative is to file off the spur of a cheap forstner bit as well. Thanks for the great content, btw.

[@airwolf61970]

I felt as though you could've showed more of the process. Nice job but, could you have used the forstner first, then chased it with the same size bull nose but chucked in you drill press or hand drill, then sand out? Also, I would've used a 8" sanding wheel with a table, make quick work of the outside bowl, then a spindle sander for the handle and transition areas. You got the job done though.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Since this project I did get a spindle sander. Would probably use it for something like this in the future. The bull nose bit would probably do fine, but I think it would do better in a plunge router versus the drill press. That bit cuts cleaner at a higher RPM.

[@hotrodhog2170]

I would think 400 grit should be enough sanding after raising the grain. Nice job though.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

400 grit is plenty, you're right. I just like to go a little beyond that to give the wood a more polished look. And I'm finishing with mineral oil, so the final smoothness of the wood counts more. Thanks for the comment!

[@hotrodhog2170]

Thanks Steve

[@francisstraughniii2473]

What hp and model is your band saw.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

The one in this video is a benchtop bandsaw made by Delta. It's probably about 1/3 HP. But I upgraded to the Rikon 14" Bandsaw which is 1.5 HP. You may see it in some of my later videos.

[@carlosrodriguesalvesneto5223]

Work in wood is a very passion. isn't reason that our Lord Jesus Christ was carpinter. Your work is a very inspiration! Congratulations.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks so much for the comment and the compliment!

[@darlenehoover6577]

Does anyone know who does this music?

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

It's called Upbeat Corporate and I purchased the soundtrack with the license through Audio Jungle.

[@darlenehoover6577]

@@fouroakscrafts7240 thank you so much. I watch alot of videos because my husband has a small shop and likes to get ideas. I always get sidetracked by the music. 😁

Awesome Fun Video Have a great Toy filled day Stop by Our channel when you have time ElsaBell and Friends

[@janeteholmes]

It depends very much on your audience, but with narration, less is almost always more. I find that voice overs, added after the video is made, are generally better. It’s easier to write cleanly than to speak cleanly. Most people have a tendency to blather. Captions explaining what’s going on are worth considering too, as they add the discipline of minimising the wordage on the screen. Remember George Orwell, “If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.” Good luck.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks Janet! I definitely agree with writing cleanly is easier than speaking cleanly. I have done some voice over on the other videos and that works generally better than me following the "outline" script format. However, it's still a challenge with these how-to type videos to time the voice over with the steps or gauging when to throw in that special woodworking tip (or critical task). I also forgot to optimize my mike with the camera on this one, so that's why it's a bit scratchy sounding. I'll continue to experiment some more and thanks for sharing that advice!

[@espjason]

8 min video could have been 5 mins because of all the talking. However interesting project deserves to be subbed. Liked and subscribed well done

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it's hard to gage how much to say in these videos. Beginner woodworks usually want more detail, so I try to "err" on that side. Hopefully these will improve with time. Thanks for subscribing!

[@redgreengrass]

@@fouroakscrafts7240 I'm a beginner. Agreed your explanations helped me. There were some parts I fast-forwarded through. The words across the bottom helped too to provide context when I skipped ahead a bit.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

@@redgreengrass Thanks for the comment! That's the beauty of video. You can skip over scenes that don't help and get to the stuff that can help. I try to cast a wide net since I'm not always sure about the proficiency level of the viewer. Thanks again!

[@UltraD52]

in my opinion, sanding a coffee scoop to 4000 is ridiculous.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Yeah, 4000 might be a little overkill. But I love using the Micromesh on my finished utensils, especially if applying a mineral oil finish. The micro mesh creates a very silky surface on the wood. But 1500 to 2400 is probably enough. Note that the micro mesh grit is not apples-to-apples with sandpaper grit. At least that's what I've been told.

[@danbarrett6427]

nice but too much oration.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely want to make these better.

[@jackmahoney4534]

Music is really annoying. Not needed. I don’t know why guys fell compelled to force us to hear their stupid music. Project was excellent as is the man, but I could not stay on the site, just too obnoxious.

[@fouroakscrafts7240]

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, you live and learn. My earlier videos were a learning process. I wasn't happy with the audio on this one either. Still trying to make them better the more I do it. Thanks again.
