SCRAP wood FLUSHED

😂 I only use scrap material, cant afford new. I jus say I'm recycling 😂😂

Eeeeey! Scrap bros! 😂

Proud? Really? My kids made tables out of hand tools in school..... no templates or routers.

Same here, building up the modifications of a ultra cheap scrap motorcycle from scrap iron from customers 😂🤣

[@HepauDK]

Pretty much all the wood I use is scrap. I work at a concrete factory, and i collect offcuts and other scrap pieces of formwork plywood. Right now I am in the process of making a lamp for my livingroom. I make it from 20mm (~3/4") strips that I have planed the outer resin layers off of and glued together, so that the ply layers become a feature, rather than something to be hidden. I have already made 2 table tops for workbenches using this method, and they look amazing! :)

I am a flyfisherman & I used to use chestwaders daily. They were not drying between uses, so I made a rack that would hold them upside down in the garage, attached to a shelving unit. Gravity helped me dry them daily. Scrap 1x4x10. Simple but effective.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

That was a great idea and solved your issue. So cool 😎

[@nicholaskrauss8191]

As a fellow woodworker, I can tell you that almost half my sales are from smalls made from scraps.

[@ploddebokse]

A super cute stool.

[@ecay]

We have become a society of throwaway. I love to see when somebody takes something that is a remnant of another project and turn it into something else. I worked for a company many many many years ago that would not hang on to anything that was a remnant unless they could make something else out of it and the problem was is that you can always make something else out of it. So I would take a lot of the scrap foam and things like that that they made one project out of but the thing was freaking huge. It was a size of a window and I take it home and I would put it up in the window to block out the window so I can sleep during the day. And one other thing would happen is that I could put it in the window and it would also insulate the window and make my room warmer in the winter or keep it cooler in the summer. There's always something you could do with things. You just have to use your mind and let it be creative. Scrap is not scrap. It's remnant from something else just because one person can't use it doesn't mean somebody else can't

[@dennismaloney7241]

When I owned and operated a home improvement business, I loved having surplus material for whipping things up around the house. I made a jig in the shop for building my own version of a tough shed and would sell them sharing the money with my children who painted them.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Wow! Thank you for sharing that… I love this 🙌

[@MrJme3192]

Yes, i had. A Fire 😂. Very nice 👍🏼

[@4li60]

So funny to see you go through all this trouble but meantime there is a Co2 Laser standing in your shop that you could have used at 1/4 of the time and without any fancy jigs and flush trim routers 🤔

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

What’s funny is that you actually think that I own a Co2 laser and that I don’t know that I could make this project using it lol 😂 No, I think you missed the point entirely. Firstly, I enjoy making things with my hands… call me old school if you will but I use technology at a minimum to help me make things with my hands. Plus, I made the templates to demonstrate how someone without a laser or cnc could accomplish the exact same product with the same accuracy and repeatability. Not everyone can afford a Co2 laser buddy… I’m fortunate enough to have saved and sacrificed for it over the course of several years and I’m not about flaunting some expensive machine that can make something without humans being involved. Furthermore, my channel is about helping the majority of makers out there to be able to make fun stuff with minimal tooling… but from your comment, I’m guessing you’re the type of maker that wants to place a board in a machine and press a enter button and then call themselves a woodworker or carpenter or maker. No offense, but you’re comment is seriously funny to me and definitely shows that you’re not a an actual maker.

[@4li60]

@@DesignsbyDonnie ​@DesignsbyDonnie Actually I'm an old school artisan who qualified as a Turner machinist on conventional machines and been working in the aviation industry for 30 years, working on major aeronautical projects developing tooling and fixtures using nothing more than basic knowledge and skills and conventional machinery to make it easy for the production guy down the line. Prototyping was most part of my work and hand crafted components is still part of my every day job. So yes you right I had no right to to correct you on using old school method when technology is right beside.

Nice Job! Do me and yourself a favor and keep your band saw guard 1/4 above the material- much safer and you will brake fewer blades :)

[@andrewfenn4534]

You see my guy? The pros don't use plexi for jigs. Tell your fans to oil their bearings or their router will do bad things. KZbin is funny, we do this but🤔

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

I think that may be an opinion as I have dozens of friends that are pro’s and they all use them. It’s a nifty tool to use for repeatability

[@idlsjay]

No woodworker uses the TERM “Super Fun”????😂😂😂😂

[@processing6140]

Casually says, " I added half laps" ,like it wasn't already part of the templates you're using.

[@EverythingIsAJunkDrawer]

wasted so much by putting circle template in the center. could have saved some of the leg piece but the center piece was so wasteful.

[@sambrown9421]

Sure made stuff from scrap material. Unfortunately I never had the scap to make the templates, which I would assume cost more than the scrap and were made to make more than one stool, to make it.

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

Yes you’re right. I make the templates so that I can keep repeating the build anytime a customer orders a stool 👍

[@cdouglas1942]

there are assumptions in template as to thickness of plywood. Exactly 3/4 or the newer narrower 3/4- Which is it ...interested in template

[@DesignsbyDonnie]

It was designed for plywood labeled 3/4” thick which in supply stores will actually be 21/32” thick which is basically hair less than 3/4”. But you don’t have to make it with plywood. You can use it for solid wood too.

[@ianmercer1291]

The way you routed that circular piece near the end was really risky, i would not recommend. Its so easy to lose your grip or put too much weight into a circular pieces like that and accidentally jam your finger into the bit. Having some kind of nail or something in the dead center of that piece would be better but still, i think youre playing with fire on that one.
