Making of Anti Gravity Bottle Holder - Ep 014

[@DIYTyler]

That's really neat Andrea Arzensek Will make a good gift!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Tyler! For sure it will :)

[@Back2Wood]

Yeah, this is how you print without a printer! OLDSKOOL STYLE! Great Video and Project! Your bottleholder looks really awesome! NICE! :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

Danke Stefan!

[@CharlesDearingScroller]

A very unique twist on outdoing many of the boring straight slabs of wood used for this. Great job Andrea.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Charles! I admire your scroll work!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Nice project, this would make great Christmas presents.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you April! I think it will be a nice Christmas present! Also thank you (April Wilkerson Peter Brown Steve Carmichael ) very much for organizing scrap bin challenge 2014, I had a blast making this and watching other people's projects! Take care, Andrea A.

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Those fish are gifts waiting to happen! Great idea!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Actually I'm giving one to the best scrap :) Thank you!

[@JohnHeisz]

Very cool!

[@GeraldLeenerts]

That's funny because most wine has traces of fish in it.

Muito legal.

[@AndreaArzensek]

John Heisz Thank you very much John! Gerald Leenerts Thanks Gerald! Leocárdia Seifert Obrigado Leocardia!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That came out very nice, and look at your new jigsaw!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Peter Brown ! I finally disposed my old jigsaw, man I hated that one...this one is amazing - no vibrations, precise and clean cut, and cordless!! I love it!

[@Helg46]

Ottimo lavoro, Andrea! Davvero insolito. Mi hai dato una bella ispirazione. Complimenti per i tuoi video.

[@AndreaArzensek]

+Helg46 Grazie mille! Saluti di Messico

[@danalaniz7314]

Very good craftsmanship! You are very talented. Thank you for sharing.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you very much 😊

[@CarlJacobson]

Great project Andrea

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Carl!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Great project Andrea! You got a new saw! Congrats! Love the dinner theme of those fish bones with the wine. Your videos are so much fun to watch.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you very much for the kind words Steve! Yes, it's a new saw finally I couldn't stand anymore the previous one. Fish and wine, oh yes! Take care, Andrea A.

[@rdaniel328]

This was awesome. Great idea. Best floating wine holder I've seen!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Daniel!

[@darbinorvar]

Great project Andrea, you're an artist with that jig saw!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you very much Linn! I love my new jigsaw!

[@meanders9221]

Cool, Andrea! I think that's the first balancing wine holder I've seen that tempted me to make one. But it looks like so much work...

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thanks Michael Anderson It's really very simple to make and probably with all sanding takes about 1-2 hours to finish (excluding glue-up) :)

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Sweet! Man, I've seen tons of the 'floating' wine bottle holders. But I've never seen one as cool looking as this one! I LOVE the fish bones shape. Great idea and awesome job. But, then again, I've come to expect only awesomeness from your work!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you for very kind words Steve...the next project you will like as well, I'm quite sure ;) Take care, Andrea A.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Andrea Arzensek I don't doubt that one bit.

[@Ligneroj]

Gotta be the coolest bottle balancer I've seen. -Dave

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you very much Dave! It's very easy to make, especially if you have scroll saw. Take care, Andrea A.

[@datadev1]

Nicely done Andrea. Enjoyed watching.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you!

[@Trees2Pens]

I've seen many of these balances but this is the best design. Good Luck in the challenge.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you very much!

@@AndreaArzensek thank you for the heart brother ;)

[@AndreaArzensek]

You're very welcome Nick, I hope you're well. Best regards from Croatia

[@NickFerry]

@@AndreaArzensek all is well, thank you for asking - hope all is well with you - from Croatia? I don't know why I thought you used to live in central america - must be me getting old

[@AndreaArzensek]

You're right, I was indeed living in Mexico when I made this video but 4 years ago I moved back to Croatia (my homeland).

[@EDCMatt]

Great job, I liked how you cleaned it out with the jig saw.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Brander!

[@MikeWaldt]

Great project Andrea. Is that a new Jig Saw I see? Take care Mike

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Mike! Yes it's a new jig saw, my first time using it and I love it!

[@soloparachicas9332]

Good idea Andrea, i think i going to learn English whith you because i like learn It 😀😀

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thanks!

[@Greasy_Bear]

Love the idea can I give you little tip before use your jig saw to cut out your pattern lay clear packing tape over the pattern it a small trick I use with my bandsaw and scroll saw

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thanks Roger! What is the purpose of clear packing tape over the pattern?

[@Greasy_Bear]

one it help to hold the pattern better two it help lube the blades from burning the wood when you cutting

[@woodrat1952]

This is a great project! I was wondering if I could get a template of the fish? I would like to make one for my family. Thank You!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thanks! There will be free template in the description soon, I will let you know, stay tuned!

[@woodrat1952]

Thank You!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Matt!

[@sebastianocano3289]

Great work, very good idea, thanks for sharing!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Sebastian!

[@Chrisfo967]

nice andrea thank you......what is the thickness of the wood?

[@AndreaArzensek]

It is 3 layers of wood. You can do between 15-25mm. 20 would be ideal but it is not necessary.

[@rodrigogarcia5933]

Muy bueno!!!! Me gusto mucho, amigo!!!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Rodrigo Garcia Que bueno Rodrigo, cuidate mucho! Gracias!

Very nice project!! I'm loving your videos! :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thanks Jon, there will be more, I try to upload every Friday. Take care

[@mattjohnston2]

Great job! If I wanted to make one myself, what angle is the cut on the tail to hold a wine bottle?

[@AndreaArzensek]

Matt Johnston Thanks Matt, check my Instructable for all the info: www.instructables.com/id/Cool-Fish-Bone-Bottle-Holder/

[@mattjohnston2]

Awesome, thanks!

[@legacyofbob]

That looks terrific! What kind of wood was that? And was that your wax finish?

[@AndreaArzensek]

legacyofbob Thank you Bob! I used guanacaste (elephant ear tree wood) and 6mm plywood! Wax finish is beeswax with baby oil (mineral) and almond oil mixture :) I have a video where I make red wax but it's the same idea.

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent...! Cheers...

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Adam! Cheers!

[@tamaselkan8902]

Great project Andrea, you are doing great job with the jigsaw! What kind of wood did you use for the fish bone? I just found a board in my cellar which has similar figure to that (I also saw that in your table saw structure where the switch is). It is pretty heavy, nice lumber but I just couldn't identify.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Tamas! I used guanacaste wood (elephant ear tree) and in the middle I glued 6mm pine plywood to reinforce the bones of the fish. That's correct, good eye, there is also guanacaste in the table structure. Here is a quick read on guanacaste and a photo: www.rochdalespears.com/blog/2012/04/26/guanacaste-wood-for-the-bina-furniture-line/ For what I know working with it: - it's light weight wood - soft (dents quite easily) - works and glues very good - irritates respiratory system when sawing/sanding (causes sneezing and nose running) - rot and insect resistant (very high) - I used sawdust to get rid of ants - creamy sapwood with dark and beautifully grained heartwood

[@KSFWG]

Nice project! I really liked sanding paper with.... sand paper... lol

[@WayfairingSoul]

This is so awesome! Two questions - Would you happen to still have the template? The link is broken. Also, where did you get the "handcrafted by ..." stickers. I love those!!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Steven Trotter | Designer, Geek & Dad Thank you Steven! I re-uploaded the link, it works now! I print out the stickers myself, I explained this in detail in my Ep 001 or John Heisz's video on labels. Cheers!

[@johnzzhu]

Cool project, pickup some jigsaw techniques.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you! Wow, I'm glad that you learned from me, I surely did from you The Nomadic Polywright Show

[@johnzzhu]

Andrea Arzensek Believe it or not I learn something from just about every video I watch.

[@AndreaArzensek]

The Nomadic Polywright Show I believe you, me too! Here is one of my favorite quotes: “Every person that you meet knows something you don't; learn from them.” ― H. Jackson Brown

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you *****

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

I thought that jigsaw looked new. Reading the other comments confirms my suspicion.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Yes it is new! Finally I got a decent jigsaw and it's cordless :)

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

I didn't even noticed the cordless part. Nice! Yours is a lot nicer than mine. I still use the old Craftsman scrolling jig saw that my mom bought for me when I was 16 or 17 (I'm 41 now). Mine still works fine but it's not exactly the best in the world. I'd love to get one of the latest Festool jigsaws.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Steve French Old tools were better, at least they say. But I'm very happy with this saw. I would also like to have a scrollsaw, but maybe when I have a place to store it. Festool look like the best on market, then you will be Batman like woodworker :)

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Andrea Arzensek In many cases, the old tools were better. But jig saw technology has come a long way over the past 20-something years. I'd imagine pretty much any decent modern one is better than the one I have. I'd love one of the Festools, but I can't justify spending that kind of money on a jig saw. They sure are nice though.

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Hey! New jigsaw!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Thank you Chris! It is a new one :)

[@samuelbhend2521]

nice logo on your apron: measure twice, cut once.... then talk bad, get glue or a new piece of wood, start again by step 1)..... anyone else knows that?

[@AndreaArzensek]

+samuel bhend so true :)
