original idea using an abundance of wood scraps.




If you are like me and love to work with heat treated wood, the chances are that you probably have tons of wood scraps left over from past projects. After moving to New England, I noticed that pallets seemed to be everywhere, so I started using them as a means to get more woodworking experience. Naturally, my garage turned out to be more and more like a pile of scrap metal, a wooden pallet (some remnants of scraps from past projects, some from a dismantled pallet that cracked during disassembly). If you are still at the stage of trying to assemble a refundable pallet board or would like more information on how to find, inspect and dismantle pallets, check out my Instructable Bible Pallet.

I have seen and been inspired by mikeasaurus' scrap table finishes earlier, but due to the type of tare plank that I have lying around, its design and process didn't fit what I wanted or was able to do. So I set out with the intention of building something that was hopefully as beautiful as the table that Mike put together. Let's see if it worked...

Required Tools:

Saws: A miter saw is key here, and you'll find that puzzle pieces and a table saw or circular saw can come in handy as well.

Thicknessers (I'll cover this in more detail in step 2, but planer type will save you or mix with potential headaches)

Sander (I prefer Random Orbit Sander, but that's up to you)

Clamps (clamps and more... pipe and/or bar clamps are very handy during the gluing stage - make sure they are long enough to accommodate the width of the top of the table)

Protective Equipment (Always use proper protective equipment, including safety goggles, respirator or dust mask, gloves, and hearing protection if necessary)

—————————————-

Necessary materials:

Wood Scrap!! (I used about 20-25 pallet board pieces, some cracked or damaged, and a few other scrap items)

Wood Glue

Finishing nails (I used 2 1/2″)

Stains and oils (depending on how you want the final product to look) and rags to apply them

Step 1: Collect the Scraps


So I became plushkin pallet over the past 6 months, I'm not only dozens good quality The dismantled pallet boards are sitting in my garage, but there are also tons of crushed, cracked, or other damage to the boards from dismantling the pallets. No matter how good you get at stripping pallets, you're bound to crack a few here and there, and most of the time they become unusable for the average project. But they are perfect for it!

I'm going to give a standard disclaimer to the tare board that I put in all my pallet fuel projects, how much valuable information I've learned the hard way... pallets are easy to find (and usually free), have character and are fun to work with. Always ask before taking pallets out of business (even if they're sitting in the back near the trash can), also many companies have pallet suppliers refund them for used pallets, and take them without permission to "technically" steal. I'm not saying I haven't done this before, just being safe and courteous. I prefer to use round or reciprocating saw to cut off the end of the stringers (the perpendicular posts that hold the pallet of boards up and down), and finally, using the tool to patiently separate the boards from the middle stringer. The key word here is patience - go for nails from all angles to avoid cracking and ruining your tare board. If you have not attended business trainings for a long time, we recommend that you might be interested.

But this project is in no way limited to pallets. Any piece of scrap wood that is in play here. It's good to have a general idea of ​​what you want your countertop dimensions to be, as this will help you determine exactly how much wood you need to put together. Based on the dimensions of my scrap of various pieces, I went with 17″...x17″. Keep in mind that you can put together short boards to make the length you desire for your table.

Since you will be assembling this table from the board in an upright position, as opposed to flat, the only real stipulation for cutting wood here is that one of the long, thin edges must be level enough - this will become part of the top of the table. You can always use a table or a circular saw to level the edge of the board, but all this must be considered when choosing wood.

From an old tree you can make a garden path, steps, country furniture, firewood. See how to use waste boards for gardening tools.

Many are familiar with such a picture, when you enter the country barn, the shovel strives to fall, and the rake, if you step on them, hit on the head. Sometimes it's so hard to find right tool, therefore, it is necessary to make an organizer for summer cottage inventory. Here is another problem regarding where to put the old tree, or rather, the boards, will be resolved.

Organizer for garden tools from scraps of PVC pipes

It is convenient when every garden tool is in its place. In addition, it’s good when the organizer looks beautiful for him, but is made from the remnants of old material.


If you made water supply for a summer residence, there were probably trimmings left pvc pipes. They will come in handy for the next idea. For such an organizer, take:
  • narrow thick boards;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • PVC pipes or their trimmings;
  • hacksaw;
  • screwdriver;
  • level;
  • saw for wood.
Pipes need to be sawn off at an angle, from which it will be more convenient to get the tool.

To saw off PVC, use a hacksaw, miter saw, plastic pipe cutter, or special cutter.


Make a markup, helping yourself with a level, draw three horizontal lines on the wall on which the boards will be fixed. Measure the length of the boards, saw them off. Attach two to the wall using self-tapping screws. The lower one is needed for support so that garden tools do not touch the ground. We fix it with a small bar.


On other boards, make markings at the same distance. Attach PVC pipes cut side up.

If you have a straight wall in the barn, then look at what other crafts for giving are designed to store hand garden tools in them.


For this organizer you will need:
  • PVC pipes;
  • double-sided mounting tape;
  • hacksaw;
  • scissors;
  • roulette;
  • pencil;
  • soft cloth.
Cut the PVC pipes diagonally so that the large side is 12–15 cm high and the smaller side is 7–10 cm. If the pipes are not clean, wash and dry them first. If dusty, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Also clean the wall, and if necessary, degrease the surfaces.

Use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the wall. Cut pieces of mounting tape to the desired length. Having removed protective layer on one side, attach it to the PVC, then remove the second protective layer to attach to the wall.

In order for the tape to adhere more firmly, avoid getting dust, dirt on it during installation, do not touch the sticky surface with your hands.


Once you've fixed the PVC pieces to the wall, tuck away gardening tools in the section for easy storage.

Attach a board painted with wood varnish to the wall, pvc pipe trimmings. Thus, you solve the problem of storing extension cords. And brushes can be hung on nails nailed to another wooden board.


If you have pallets in your country house, they can also be adapted to store garden tools by attaching them to the wall.


Boards and small glass jars turn into a storage system for nails, screws and other small metal items that are needed in the country.


To implement this interesting idea, take:
  • a small board;
  • nail;
  • a hammer;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • screwdriver
  • small jars with screw caps.
Manufacturing instructions:
  1. First you need to make holes in the lids. To do this, turn them over, putting them on the board. Make three holes at the same distance using a nail and a hammer.
  2. Attach the cover to the bottom wooden shelf, attach with self-tapping screws.
  3. Put in a jar every little thing for needlework in the country. All you have to do is screw it to the lid.
Such transparent containers are convenient, you can always see where is what you need in this moment. By the way, you can use plastic bottles for this. Holes are cut out in them, which must be processed with a burner. This must be done, because the edges plastic bottles may cut your hand.

Old wood shoe organizer

Another problem faced in the country concerns shoes. There is not always enough space to accommodate rubber boots, slates, slippers of all households. Interesting ideas will help with this.


If you have an old hanger with hooks, don't throw it away. It is enough to paint it, nail it at the right height, after which the problem of storing shoes will be solved.

If you have a wooden pallet, this can be done like this: saw it into several parts so that a transverse bar remains in each. The bottom of such sections does not need to be done. It is enough to cover the shelves with wood varnish, place shoes in them. Teenagers and adults will hold up well.


If desired and wooden boxes, in which fruits and vegetables are stored, will turn into original crafts for giving, for example, an organizer for shoes.


To create this, take:
  • wooden boxes;
  • wood impregnation;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • boards.
In each box, you will need to make a shelf in the middle. To do this, use the boards that are in the country or take apart some wooden boxes so that you have parts for the sticks. We fix them on one side and on the other, screwing them with screws to small bars.

On the small sidewalls, find the middle, attach here the bars that hold the shelf. Now connect the sections together as shown in the photo. That is, at first, they are fixed in pairs, then in rows, slightly shifting them one way or the other.

But what other interesting ideas can be realized using such boxes.


For the first, you first need to paint them, when dry, arrange them vertically and horizontally. For the second, you don’t even need to spend money on paint. Between themselves, these elements are connected using large paper clips.


On such a ladder, many pairs of shoes will be placed at once. It is only necessary to nail planks horizontally to the steps. If desired, you can fill the corner space by attaching rectangular shelves here with self-tapping screws.

Beautifully stacked firewood in the country

It is easy to put things in order not only in the barn, in the country house, but also on the street. Such firewood sheds will not only become a place for firewood, but also add zest to the site. It is good to melt the stove with brushwood. Make bundles, put in a firewood rack. To make it, you need so little:

  • boards;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • wood paint.


It is not difficult to create such a building. The basis is four vertical pillars, which can be made from narrow wide boards or bars. They are fastened with horizontal boards, which are also the bottom shelf. Make another one in the center. The roof is double pitched. Do not forget to cover all elements with antiseptic impregnation.

If you have an old shelving unit, stacked firewood can also be placed on it. But first you need to paint that one with an antiseptic to wooden elements lasted as long as possible. Put the firewood rack near the wall, then it will take up little space, and atmospheric precipitation will not get here.


The following firewood will decorate old fence if placed in front of it.


For one such building you will need:
  • four bars with a section of 50 or 40 cm;
  • nails;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • boards of the same width;
  • metal skate;
  • impregnation for wood;
  • saw;
  • roulette.
Manufacturing instructions:
  1. Knock down the bars in pairs in the form of the letter L, attaching to the transverse bar.
  2. Measure the distance between the two posts, cut the boards to that length. Nail them down starting from the bottom. In this case, each top should go a little on the bottom.
  3. From below, nail two bars horizontally across, attach boards to them, on which beautifully stacked firewood will lie. Attach the horse.
Unused pallets can also be used to organize firewood. It is necessary to nail three vertical boards to one from two sides, attach one horizontally so that it connects these two elements.


If you want to decorate the woodshed, then nail a board under the top “leg” of the pallet. Put a film in the resulting box, fill it with earth, plant flowers or greens.


A place for beautifully stacked firewood can also become a bench for relaxing, see how easy it is to make one. This idea will also tell you how to save space.


Place the firewood near the outdoor hearth, under the bench. When the weather is dry, put on it decorative pillows which are so comfortable to sit on.


Sawn birch firewood can be designed in an original way. Place thick and thin branches of this tree in the center, fragments of trunks around, fix everything with a rope rope. A pair of flower pots and a lantern complete the natural picture.

Where to put the old tree?

If you got a plot on which several trees grow or, perhaps, there are those that were broken by a storm. So that you do not spend money on the export of this natural material, see how many interesting things can be done from it.


For a device like this garden path you will need:
  • old tree;
  • electric or chainsaw;
  • antiseptic;
  • geotextile;
  • brush;
  • gravel;
  • sand.
Mark the path. Pour here first a layer of gravel 5 cm high, on it - the same amount of sand. Lay geotextile on top.

Take geotextiles high density so that it lasts as long as possible, and weeds cannot grow through it.


Saw the tree into round pieces 4-5 cm thick. Cover them with an antiseptic on all sides. If you want to give these elements shine, then after the last coat of impregnation has dried, paint with wood varnish intended for outdoor use.


First, put wide chocks on the marked and prepared site, place those that are smaller between them. You can help yourself with a wooden or rubber mallet, tapping on the workpieces to better fit them to the surface.

If you do not have enough of these elements, place them less often or pour a layer of gravel on the soil, and put wooden chocks on top in the form of a pattern.


If you have a hilly area, turn an old tree, but in good condition, into steps. To do this, the chocks should be 10–15 cm high.

Another idea to use a log.


Place two logs at such a distance from each other that you can make holes in them, put a board here, fix it, and use this bench for its intended purpose.


She may be like that.


For her you will need:
  • wood;
  • saw;
  • bit;
  • corners;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • screwdriver;
  • boards.
Place the two halves of a thick log at some distance from each other. Draw where the slots for the board they sit on will be. Cut out these holes, take out the pulp of the tree with a chisel. Insert a board here, attach it with corners and screws.

Using the same technology, fix the second board at the top so that when sitting, you can lean on it with your back.

If you own the work of an electric or chainsaw, then you can make such an outdoor chair.


If you are looking for more simple ideas where you can put the old tree, then pay attention to these.


Churbachki need to be treated with varnish for wood, they will become planters or other items of room decor.

An old tree, its branches can turn into such a stylish mirror, for this you will need:

  • plywood;
  • dye;
  • primer;
  • wood;
  • jigsaw;
  • round mirror;
  • liquid Nails;
  • wood glue.


Attach a mirror to plywood, outline it. Step back from this mark on all sides by 10 cm, outline this outer circle already, cut it out according to this markup.

Apply a primer to the frame, when it dries, paint this place. Glue a mirror to the center, "planting" it on liquid nails. Apply glue to the wooden circles, fix them to the frame. You can pre-coat them with wood varnish, then glue them to plywood.


That's how many useful things you can make from wood, PVC pipe remnants. If you are interested in ideas on how to make a shoe organizer, watch the following video.

The second plot will teach you how to make a bench from a log without a single nail.

What if there are leftovers? And not 3 cm, but a little more?

It's not wasted money, rest assured. You can make a lot of useful and beautiful things from a terrace or facade board for decorating garden buildings or improving your site.

Planter from WPC

The most common solution is a planter or a flower box from a terrace or facade board. It looks beautiful on the terrace, looks stylish and is 100% combined in shades and textures with the main materials. The shape of the pots can be very different: rectangular, square, triangular or trapezoidal.

Making a planter from WPC with your own hands is very simple:

  1. Decide on the desired shape and size. Draw a simple sketch on paper, measure the board you have. Prepare boards of the length you need.
  2. Make the frame of the future pots from the remnants of the lag. Attach the wood-composite board to the frame with self-tapping screws. Remember that it is better to drill holes for fasteners in advance, as the composite board is very strong.
  3. You can also make a frameless planter. Use ordinary aluminum corners, to which attach the board with self-tapping screws.

flowerbeds

Here the scheme of actions is approximately the same as in the case of the pots. Only the boards will need a little more. If you will install the flower bed structure directly on the ground in the garden, the bottom of the flower bed can be omitted.

beds

Well-groomed beds with well-defined boundaries are not a luxury, as many believe. On the beds, a special garden soil, and in the absence of limiting structures, it is washed away and carried over the entire area by rains. Beds made of WPC will last more than one year, since the composite, unlike wood, does not rot or warp. For the beds, you can take both the front and the terrace board.

Sandbox for children

Playing with a child in the sandbox in the garden is a pleasure. Especially if the sandbox is safe: the boards from which it is made are even, without notches, cracks or splinters. And no toxic paint. You can quite make a sandbox from the remnants of the board: build a “box” - sides (facade is suitable, and terrace board), then install “benches” from the terrace board on one or more sides.

Stalls

For garden benches, you can use both a special composite beam and trimmings of a terraced WPC board. The width of the seat depends on your wishes: two or three boards laid horizontally on the frame. To avoid deflection of the board, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the installation of terraces: the distance between the joists should be no more than 35 cm.

swing seat

garden swing suspended from metal pipes or to a thick branch of a tree, they beckon to sit down and sway a little. Treat your child and make a durable seat out of WPC decking. Take boards of the required length and fasten them to a frame made of logs or metal corners. Consider hanging methods in advance.

Toolboxes, for firewood

If the boxes are on the street and attract attention, it is better to take care of them. appearance. This is especially true for the place where firewood is stored on the terrace or in the gazebo with an outdoor fireplace. The principle of operation is the same as in all previous examples: sketch, measurements, preparation of the frame or fixing the board to the corners. If necessary, make a lid for the box.

Shelves in the gazebo or garage

Terrace board can also be used for shelves. Prepare the base - long crossbars - for the shelves, fix the terrace board on top of them. The length of the crossbar must correspond to the width of the future shelf, and the fastening simply must be reliable, since the terrace board has big weight. Place the crossbars no more than 35 cm apart, even if you do not plan to place heavy objects on them.

When using WPC board scraps, remember a few rules:

  • Take measurements carefully
  • Drill holes for fasteners in advance,
  • Use durable carbide cutting blades,
  • Choose self-tapping screws and corners from of stainless steel(they will not break the aesthetic appearance of your product over time).

Let your cottage be the most beautiful, stylish and well-groomed!

Good afternoon. Today we start uploading articles on the topic of wood crafts with their own hands. In this first article, I want to show you some simple wood crafts for both kids and adults. Many ideas fit for school work- for boys. Some ideas will work for school competition crafts made from natural materials. Some wooden crafts can become decoration of your cottage or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy from the anticipation of such an interesting and simple work. In this article I will show you what to do beautiful crafts wooden can anyone. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a fragile woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts from this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden art.

Let's start with simple magic.

tree + sun

Crafts that glow with love.

Here are the simplest and cutest country crafts made of wood. For crafts, you need a saw cut of a log (ask when you are sawing firewood with a grinder to make a few thin cuts). Or you can do it without sawing - just take a board of any size.

In a tree, we drill holes of such a thickness that a glass pebble bought in a store enters it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gifts department, and in the department where candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.

You can drill such holes with glass just in the board - and hang it on the apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun at least once a day shines into it at a low angle.

That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in the land of fairies. Your kids will love this wood craft.

simple wooden crafts

from saw cut logs.

If you are sawing logs for firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut flat cuts for you, both from small logs and large ones. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start inventing future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to make and looks beautiful. Saw cuts can be nailed to each other with nails. You can plant them on liquid nails (like glue).

The surface of the saw cuts can be rough, unskinned (as in the photo with the bunny craft). And you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint in the color you want.

From large saw cuts, you can make large country crafts from wood. And small log cabins (from thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.

Log saw cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth flat pebbles. They become the source interesting crafts. The stones are easily painted with felt-tip pens, office bold markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).

And here is another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Openwork through sawing with an electric jigsaw (photo with a maple leaf craft) looks simply magical.

Here small master class, from which you can see how the process of cutting openwork patterns on a thick saw cut of a tree takes place.

First, trace the stencil with a pencil. Then we drill holes in the key nodes of the picture with a drill. And then with a jigsaw we go from one holey node to another.

You can create your own device which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Do it yourself electric jigsaw. Holding hands on comfortable handles, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the more small parts you can cut out a picture for them. Well thought out.

Or maybe buy a jigsaw It costs an average of $100. You can find for 50 we are not in industrial scale work, so not necessarily a very powerful expensive tool to buy.

Mosaic Crafts

From saw cuts of thick branches.

If you have country yard the boring barn wall is staring right at you. That needs to be made boring. Let's make a shed positive with the help of wooden crafts. Let's do mosaic applique from small saw cuts. Such cuts are obtained by sawing thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).

basis for such a wood craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, draw on it the silhouette of the future crafts. Cut out plywood base manual jigsaw or special power tools. And we stick wooden roundels on it - on liquid nails, on wood glue or on hot glue from a gun.

And even at home you can make saw cuts decorative wooden mirror frame(master class in the photo below).

  1. Also buy a round mirror. Put it on a sheet of plywood - circle it with a pencil.
  2. Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indent draw a second circle.
  3. Cut out a large circle from plywood. And glue the outer ring with saw cuts of wood. It will turn out a beautiful wooden craft frame - it remains to glue a mirror into the middle on liquid nails.

PUFF CRAFTS

from wood.

This is probably my favorite kind of wood crafts. Here, the swollen shields lie on top of each other, creating a LAYER VOLUME of crafts.

Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.

You can paint all the layers of your craft the same color (as craft polar bear wood) or different colors(as a craft mouse on the moon- photo below).

Or you can leave the textured wood pattern (as in the crafts from the photo below).

wood fox It has a two-layer construction - the back layer, and the head and tail are laid on it.

craft duck has 5 layers - the central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).

The more layers you will impose on each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft "Lions made of wood" you can see how the muzzle of the beast moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden board.

If you color your crafts. Draw facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, and more. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your little hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.

You can invent your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to wooden shield and cut out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book- and redraw them in an enlarged size.

Wooden craft

For school

At the lesson of labor.

Such Puff wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELD, but made of thin plywood. And then such work can be carried out in labor classes within the framework of school curriculum. On the topic "cutting with a jigsaw on plywood."

Here's an idea for you - how from 3 plywood boards make a two-color puppy craft. The first posterior layer of WHITE PLYWOOD peeks out only with the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with a stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned out with a special wood burning device.

In the same technique of shields with different shades of color, you can make a lot of voluminous wood crafts at labor lessons at school or in a circle of wooden creativity.

wood crafts

as an APPLICATION.

In a very similar technique, you can make an appliqué out of wood. Here, too, wooden solid wood board(that is, not a glued shield, but a solid board). Because we will grind it, and the glued sanding shield can delaminate and adhesive seams will be visible.

  1. On the paper the whole future craft is drawn. Divided by lines into details. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later on the photo to check the location of each element).
  2. Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We trace each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough on the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
  3. Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round. We grind the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it by hand with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness-roughness.
  4. After sanding all the details painted in tinted stain(sold in hardware stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with a stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be wiped off simply vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on the scraps of wood left after sawing the crafts.

You can also paint the details of wood crafts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam rubber sponge). After painting, so that the part does not get your hands dirty, you can sprinkle it with hairspray or impregnate the craft with another wood finish (only check what color it will be on the scraps beforehand).

It only seems that the cow (pictured in the woodwork above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the details are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the details, everything looks voluminous, soft and, as it were, PUSHED into each other. In fact, nothing is pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.

Ideas for such flat wood crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. Children's coloring picture can be found in Google - enlarge and print. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.

Methods for grinding parts

for wood crafts

(instructions to help).

To make it easier to sand smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on my hands, I want to give some useful tips.

You can clamp the sanding belt in a special vise, also made of wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.

Here on the left photo - sandpaper wraps around a thick plank with a semicircular edge. And the edges of the sandpaper are wrapped in a groove, and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical piece of wood-clamp.

There are also grinding nozzles for a drill. And then you can do the shlivovka parts using the rotational power of the drill and the magical power of electricity.

Below we see grinding attachments for drill- cymbal and drum shape.

There are drill grinders where you can change sandpaper - remove the old worn sandpaper and refill with a new one.

By the way, on Aliexpress you can buy immediately in bulk grinding drums on a drill for 3-4 dollars for a batch of 100 pieces. If you look you can find it cheaper.

And so that the drill does not spin in your hand during operation, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE, which will fix your homemade sander is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sanding drum.

The design of the mounting tray can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a lock in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).

With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. Quickly pleasant and immediately beautiful results. Such work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children, gift wooden paintings can be set up.

You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected. It's as simple as looking at this article and falling in love with the idea.

Fantasy wooden crafts- unlimited. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start ... then continue ... and finish.

For example, knocker toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the cottage. Such a hammer or woodpecker can knock on your door, reporting guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale - pull the rope, and the door will be opened for you.

You can make decorations for the children's room with your own hands. In fact, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motives from the Jungle.

You know ... I will probably continue the topic of wooden crafts for the design of a children's room in one of the following articles. I would like to see what ideas are hidden here. And falling in love with someone is a good thing.

And perhaps we need to create an article with wooden toys for children - self made. You also need to write. And then it will work here link.

And while we continue...

Crafts FROM WOOD

and WASTE material.

Where do future crafts live? …. Old decayed boards. For example, from the grandmother's fence. Which usually go for firewood or are taken out of the yard as excess garbage. Stop. Let's not throw them away. Let's dig through this pile and create something wonderful - with our own hands from wood.

A wooden mop-brush, if cut in half, turns into the mouth of an evil dog. A little imagination and work. And now the service dog bristles and grins at you.

Gorgeous piece of art. Wood and waste material.

Any junk material (pieces of iron, plastic) and old pieces of wood can populate your house with fairy-tale characters. They are alive. They have a soul and their own history.

wood crafts

Imperishable beauty.

Peeled veneer , from old furniture panels, quietly damp in your shed - can also become a source for handicrafts, applications made of wood.

Of this thin wood material you can cut out the details of the future crafts directly with scissors and stick them on hot glue from a gun (or on wood glue).


And instead of veneer, you can use thin birch bark. And also make interesting flat wood crafts.

wood crafts

(logs, firewood and bark)

Ordinary firewood from your woodpile can be a source of inspiration for wooden crafts for the country.

If a round log is cut obliquely, then you get a figure with a face turned towards you. It remains only to draw this face, add elements of eyes, ears, nose to it.

You can fold the body of an animal from logs and round blocks. The logs will be the legs and the logs will be the back. The head can be made from a round cut of a small log. Or chop off with an ax muzzle to the desired shape from the same log as the body of your four-legged wood craft.

Show your imagination, do not stop before a difficult task. A squirrel made of wood or a snail made of logs - there is nothing complicated. We turn on the head and sense of humor - it will tell you the most ridiculous, but effective ways convey the gentle image of the animal using rough wood and other natural material.

YOU can work with a chainsaw or an ax - sawing or cutting off the face of your wood craft. Here you can make such cute pigs with your own hands as a fun wood craft for the country house.

And in the bushes you can put a beautiful proud deer - also a simple and quick craft made of wood and branches.

wooden crafts

from chips from a log.

It happens that when you chop wood, curly large chips break off from the log. This chip often has a bizarre shape - already similar to something (a bird, a panther, a face profile). It is necessary to carefully put such a gift of fate aside, in order to return to it later and complete the craft begun by nature. Cut something with a knife, highlight something with paint, glue something as an additional detail. And you get a craft made of wood with your own hands - beautiful and original.

These are the ideas I managed to find for the masters of wooden art.

Now you can also make beautiful wood crafts with your own hands. Moreover, this article is only the first of a cycle on the topic of wooden crafts which are clear and easy to make at home. You have probably already fallen in love with some ideas and are determined to implement them - I keep my fingers crossed for you - let everything work out in the best way. And your whole family bunch will love your wood craft.
