Woodworking Inspiration 8-14-17

Here are some of the videos I found this week that are inspirational and gave me fun ideas for future videos.

Building The Most Useless Machine | Part 2 This part is mostly about the electronics for the most useless machine. It also has a bit of the 'finger' and finishing up the box. Please Subscribe Like and Comment. I will admit that I did use power for this half of the build.

Clean Phil Wanted is an all hand tool woodworker that does interesting projects. This is something I have wanted to make for along time and I might have to take it on some time.

In this video I'm making a leather tool roll for my chisels. I love the way it turned out! This is not the easiest project, but without the zipper pocket, it's quite easy to make. ABOUT MY CHANNEL: My name is Minni and I make DIY videos.

One of the fastest growing youtubers and doing amazing work. I fell in love with several of the techniques and methods in this build; just great all around.

This project was created from a piece of Mesquite firewood. It's a useful tool and also an easy starter project that's a ton of fun to build. Check out Paul Sellers or James Wright for more detailed explanations of dimensions and steps.

Love the simple and rough design of this mallet. Definitely worth a look at this simple how to.

Who actually reads the description?!?! I do! :) Made a lidded box w/burl, ebony, and resin. I plan to start plugging some tip/tricks videos in along the way. Ideally, to cover more detail regarding the process I use to make hybrid blanks. Again, just a guy in a shop.. making things.

OH MY WORD!!! This makes me want to get into turning again! Just pure sweetness. I love Heath's stuff every time.

Gary Franklin is a fifth-generation nailer at the Tremont nail factory in Mansfield, Mass. His great-great-grandfather started working there shortly before the Civil War, and he carries on the tradition to this day.

Just having a look at how these cut nails are made gives me a ton of ideas. Cool to see an old tool still going today!

Blog post: http://wp.me/pFHCG-Kx Bill Holloway and Mauro Hernandez of Masterworks Woodworking in San Jose, CA, salvage condemned city trees, then build beautiful bicycles out of them. The story of these bikes goes from the felling of a family's guardian tree, through the woodworking process, and finally, the completion of art you can ride.

WOODEN BIKES!!! Do i need to say more? These are just pure sweetness!

In today's episode let's go through the steps of how I dimension stock, square it up and make a simple Cutting Board / Sandwich Board / Cheese Board set. This will be RAW footage since I do not have a Camera operator or a video editor on the payroll.

I like to pump out hand tool woodworking information, but this guy does far more and draws on an incredible amount of life knowledge. Almost every day he has a new video out packed with great information.
