Winding Sticks are often the first woodworking project a new woodworker takes on. Winding sticks can be as simple or complicated as you make them. today we are looking at making a Roubo-style version of singing sticks.

" Just make sure you don't glue your hand down"..... Reminds me of the time I managed to CA glue a Bass Guitar I was working on to my hand. Sheepishly went to find my Wife for assistance, that went well. She was laughing so hard she couldn't get the lid off the bottle of acetone for 10 minutes. 15 years later she still brings that episode up whenever the subject of CA glue comes up. 🙄😆

James, I’m really enjoying these Book of Roubo vids. PLEASE do more of them! Thank you!

[@Davis_Tool_Systems]

Well done winding sticks

[@dustyoldhat3543]

Hi James. Thanks for the video. I had make a 2 foot pair of sticks I saw in one of your older videos and found this one yesterday so I went out today with my grandsons and we make a 3 1/2 foot pair like these. They love watching your videos with me and think we should build ever thing you make. Thanks again for the videos and the memories my grandsons and I are making.

[@justplanebob105]

This was a fun one. I have two sticks of Rosewood (cutoffs from Marimba bars) that I got for baton handles that I use as winding sticks. Very useful.

[@simonorchard1115]

My winding sticks are a 2m length of 20mm aluminium angle that I cut in half and then stuck some purple masking tape to the ends of one to make a contrast.

[@dylanneely91]

I like to make contrasting color sticks. Just a bit of stain and now you can put whichever one shows up better on the backgroud in the back. Good if you have light walls and dark cabinets, for example.

[@Bargle5]

Helping the analytics. You're welcome.

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant, James! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@upsidedowndog1256]

You always make interesting videos but I rarely have enough time to watch them. I like your attention to the little details.

[@thomashverring9484]

I got to make some. It's been on my to-do list for ages 😅

[@larryjellison1331]

Thanks for another informative video James. More from the Book of Roubo would be great.

[@ianstewart7605]

My winding sticks are too short for wide boards as well, so I might be making some longer ones. I made my old ones many years ago in a hurry. Two random sticks of hardwood, one paler than the other. They don't match anywhere, different width, height, length and thickness. All that is required is that they are stable, straight, flat on the bottom, and of consistent height throughout the length. Works for me.

[@TadTheTinker]

Always enjoy your videos!!

[@marchetzke7728]

I made a pair of winding sticks as a first simple project. They soon became twisted and unusable. You say cut them from the same board, like bookends? Ah-ha, thanks for the tip James! …I’m heading back to the bench.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

grain choice is important. they should have very strait grain and quarter sawn if possible. but if you resaw them from one board then any change will be the same on both boards.

[@rafakozik8482]

Those stands look perfect for a quick 3d printing project 🤔

[@Hansenomics]

Very cool!

[@matthewbrady5214]

Great video!

[@ianpearse4480]

Cool multi use sticks in the making. Could put in a screw bolt to lock the legs and then use them to measure internal or external gaps, I love things that can do more than one thing, if only I could do the same. LOL.

[@dylanneely91]

Jumbo pinch sticks? That honestly sounds like a worthwhile time investment.

[@ianpearse4480]

@@dylanneely91 I just love multi tasking things in my shop. I use my thin pinch sticks as the guide rail on my thickness planer jig! I enjoy thinking about maximising minimal effort. LOL.

It seems I am a trend setter ;)

[@kylemathews3732]

What bit brace are you using??? I have one I’m trying to ID that looks exactly like that. It has B.N.C. On the rod

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

Did you go to the Beatles for your long and winding sticks?

[@warrenmunn3224]

Would 3D printing be practical or are the tolerance's not tight enough?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Ya that would be great!

[@AllanMacMillan]

Fun video, nice useful project. I have been thinking of making a set of these myself. I'd planned on designing a 3d printable model for the feet. FYI as of Saturday 15:00 UTC your Tay tools link doesn't work (there's some extraneous stuff there at the beginning, and also along with the affiliate portion of the URL)

oh sorry I just fixed it. lddy.no/1cb5t

[@Rossco242424]

what kind of wood are your shoes?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

They are popular with purple heart souls

[@nodarikirtadze8220]

Should I make winding sticks from Pine? I don't really have any long pieces of hardwood

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

sure. as long as the grain is strait they will work well.

[@wallyschmidt77]

Was that a Blondihacks reference?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I am glad someone else got it.

[@lyster1ne681]

I’ve tried these style winding sticks several times over the years, and I found I really dislike them. Much too finicky, and not as accurate if your board isn’t already perfectly flat. Plus, I had one set that ended up cracking the feet when the center stick expanded in the humid season. Just my opinion, but I know others really swear by these

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

that is what makes woodworking great. there are on best ways just the ways that work for you.

[@lyster1ne681]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo couldn’t agree more!

[@terristroh3965]

You need to sell t-shirts that say chamfers separate us from the animals.

[@rmp3636]

If both sticks are the same length, why do you need to know the center point?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

so that they balance on the board. it is more important without the stands, but with the stands the center just needs to be between them.

[@rmp3636]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thank you. That makes sense.

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Ain't rubo or as beautiful but I made some already lol
