joy and sadness made such a great team, but my favorite character was riliey's imaginary childhood friend, microjig. maker of the grr-ripper work safer. work smarter. this week's episode is also sponsored by naturebox. if you like this stand and would like to ownit yourself, i'm auctioning it off to raise money for the
make-a wish foundation. i'll have more information at the end of thisvideo. a viewer to the show recently posted a picture of one of these on facebook and asked if i could make one. it sticks into the ground and holds a bottle of wine and a glass on each side. the top is twelve inches or 30 cm in diameter. i'll edge joint these three boards on my tablesaw
and glue them together. these two boards will create the leg. on one of these boards, i'm using a straight bit on my router to cut a groove from the bottom to about two thirds of theway up. this will hold the steel rod that goes intothe ground. i'll use a hacksaw to cut this steel rod downto size. and i can glue this into that slot with someepoxy. i'll glue the two boards together with woodglue.
with that leg piece all dried up i can use my plans to draw out the taper andother cuts. and i'll cut it out on my band saw. this hole is for the hinge. i need to round off this corner so the tabletop has room to swing. over here at my router, i'll ease over theedges with a roundover bit. these two little blocks will hold the outsideof the hinge.
cutting off this corner isn't really necessary, i just think it looks a little nicer. and just when everything was going along swimmingly, i realized that i made this top piece toonarrow. i should have added another board on it because i need it to be square. and unfortunately, that's all of the cherrywood i have left. so, when life gives you lemons, you put in some filler strips!
first, i'll slice up my hard work. luckily, i have enough walnut leftover thati can cut it into a couple of strips. sure, gluing up panels is fun, but gluing up the same panel twice is twice as fun! well now i'm back on track with the rightsized board. and remember: what do you call this kind of recovery?
it's going to be easiest to make all of thecuts on this if i start out with a perfect square. this cutting template will make cutting allthe shapes really easy. i'll attach it with spray adhesive. i'll cut these all out on my drill press usinga hole saw. i'll drill out the two sides of the handle using this smaller, forstner bit. you know, i think the fact that my stripesare off centered
really adds to the tension and drama of thispiece. in fact, with that offset, i kinda think nowthat this transcends "extra fancy", becoming a bold artistic statement. i'm running this dowel through these piecesso i can see exactly where i need to position these littleblocks. this is the hole for the wine bottle and it drops into that little ledge so these are going to go like that.
i removed the leg and i cut this dowel down a little shorter. i'm going to keep it in there to help me keep these two blocks aligned while i glue it up. it will be easier to finish these pieces with spray lacquer before i assemble them. i'm putting some tape on here so i can hopefully prevent scratching the finish with my saw. if you have a dowel that doesn't fit as tightly
as this one, you can secure it by driving a screw through this piece, through the dowel, and into the top. {naturebox advertisement} and i'd like to thank you for watching thisweek's episode of woodworking for mere mortals. if you'd like to build one of these yourself, check below for a free set of plans. and if you'd like to own this
