True, the master’s stainless hiking mug is taken as the basis here, and so he decided to style it like a tree. Why did he take a pre-dried wood blank (it is desirable that the texture was beautiful) and turned a wooden glass on a lathe, into which he inserted his favorite metal mug.
Let's look at how the master made his mug? What exactly did he need to do this?
materials
1. wooden beam 10 inches (25.4 cm)
2. travel mug (stainless steel)
3. linseed oil
4. cotton fabric
5. wood glue or epoxy
Tools
1. wood lathe
2. set of chisels
3. brush
4. drill and 3 circular drills (to create a cavity in the workpiece)
5. sandpaper
6. hacksaw
7. ruler
The process of creating a wooden mug with your own hands
And so, the first thing to do, of course, is to find suitable material, it is better if the pattern and texture of the wood is not uniform. Breeds are suitable for this fruit trees(apple, cherry, bird cherry) their pattern is very beautiful and unique. You can also use "Cap" whose pattern is very similar to marble, but its wood is quite hard and difficult to process.
Then the workpiece must be dried in natural conditions. or in a special drying chamber (who has it) Attention! The wood must be absolutely dry before processing, but if it is not dry and wet, then it will simply crack and all your work will go down the drain.
Many of you at school in the lessons of "Labor" while studying in high school, studied the lathe for wood and turned on it (rolling pins, balusters, candlesticks, doorknobs etc.) That is, they are familiar with the device and the principle. But not everyone was allowed to grind on this machine (glasses and nesting dolls), but especially neat and attentive! Because with careless work on turning the internal cavity, the workpiece often flew out, where the nesting doll, where the chisel)))
Next, the resulting beam must be marked with a ruler and a pencil in order to find the center by drawing 2 lines from corner to corner, the crosshair will be the center. Centering must be strictly observed! A curved marking is a potential blow to the forehead by a flying blank))) By the way, here on the site there are articles on making wood with your own hands
It is inserted into the guides and clamped.
The machine turns on and the master begins to grind off the excess, giving the workpiece a cylindrical appearance.
Important point! On the left side, he grinds a "thorn" which will then be inserted into the chuck and will hold the workpiece without 2 points of support.
Next, the internal cavity is drilled with drills, for this the author uses 3 drills of different diameters, starting with the smallest one. After that, the inside must be sanded with sandpaper dressed on a stick - this is necessary for subsequent turning in order to ensure a smooth surface.
With the help of a chisel, the inside is machined.
Periodically, the master applies the bottom of a metal mug so as not to grind off the excess. Once again, he stopped the machine in order to evaluate the work done.
The surface of the wooden glass is polished with sandpaper.
And so, the inner part is machined and now the master cuts the spike with a hacksaw.
Next, the master takes his stainless steel camping glass and covers it with epoxy, you can also use glue that is not afraid of temperature effects. Attention! Do not use toxic types of glue like "Moment" because when you pour boiling water into a mug, the metal will heat up and this glue will begin to evaporate its chemical elements. Be careful!
Epoxy coated surface, placed in a wooden glass.
Then you should wait until the adhesive dries, and then the master places the glass back into the chuck lathe, this is necessary in order to align the bottom of the hiking mug to the maximum.
And one more strict instruction from the author!!! Do not cover the wooden surface with stain and all kinds of varnishes (because they contain chemistry) The only thing that can be used to give a more noble look to the tree is only "linseed oil" What the master successfully did without removing the mug from the machine. he took a natural cotton fabric (cotton), moistened it with oil and impregnated the tree at low speeds of the machine. Why is the master doing this on the machine? Because it takes a long time and painfully to rub the product with oil (manually) and everything is operational on the machine)
A variety of utensils are often not only essentials, but also the pride of the hostess and the decoration of the kitchen. There are a great many materials from which it is made: metal and ceramics, porcelain, glass and wood. The latter is used quite rarely and is most often associated with antiquities. However, recently the fashion for eco-friendly and unique things that can emphasize the individuality of the owner is gaining momentum. And on this wave, utensils are becoming more and more popular. With your own hands, you can make both a unique piece of kitchen utensils and an original gift.
Below we will try to figure out how to make utensils with our own hands, what tools and machines will be required for this, as well as how to cover and impregnate the finished product so that it will last for many years.
An ordinary wooden spoon can be given an exclusive look.
First of all, it is worth deciding on the material for the future workpiece. When choosing a wood species, it is worth paying attention to such characteristics as strength and resistance to temperature changes, as well as medicinal properties, because many breeds are able to have a slight therapeutic effect with prolonged contact with the human body. Of course, such utensils cannot be a full-fledged medicine, but still it has its positive effect on a person.
The most commonly used breeds are:
Household appliances organically fit into both Vacation home, and in a modern city apartment
In order to start making dishes, regardless of the volume of its production, you will need a number of tools for working with wood. Basic set includes a planer and a chisel. All kinds of cutters, jigsaws and saws will vary depending on the skill of the manufacturer and how he sees the future creation.
If we are talking about the manufacture of large volumes of dishes for sale, then you will need a lathe and grinding machines. To make a piece, you can also use the machine, or you can rely only on your own hands.
So, for those who want to make utensils with their own hands, you will need:
First of all, a blank is formed from a piece of wood, which will subsequently turn into a plate, bowl or other kitchen utensils.
The process of making a wooden spoon. As in the old days, they are made by hand.
Then the workpiece with the applied markup is fixed with a vise and little by little they begin to remove the excess. Experienced craftsmen do not use a vice, hold the workpiece in their hands and easily process it from all sides.
Traditional utensils, especially spoons and decorative plates, are richly carved. Here there are several secrets, which will provide a durable and beautiful pattern. It is extremely important that blanks for future carvings be prepared in the fall, when the tree gives off excess moisture.
Of the tools for decorating dishes with a beautiful ornament, you need a chisel, a chisel, a rasp and sandpaper. chisel used for general adjustment shape of the future product. The cutter will be required in order to cut out the ornament itself, and with the help of sandpaper, smoothness and expressiveness of the resulting pattern is given.
In the vastness of the global network, you can find many videos that show in sufficient detail the process of making items such as spoons, plates and bowls.
The relative unpopularity of wood as a material for kitchen utensils is due to the fact that it does not tolerate extreme temperatures and chemical influences quite well. In order for it to last as long as possible, it should be covered with a protective coating.
After creating the product on a special machine, it is coated with a special varnish
There are many industrial varnishes and impregnations that will perfectly protect against environmental influences, but they absolutely not suitable for the utensils that will be used in cooking. However, for a decorative plate on the wall, such processing is perfect.
For utensils that will come into contact with food, the safest option is to cover them with linseed oil. The oil is heated for processing. in a water bath to about 70 degrees, then the finished product is immersed in it. After a couple of minutes, the dishes should be taken out and left to cool and dry.
In addition, you can use sea buckthorn oil which is sold in a pharmacy. It will give the spoon or plate not only strength properties, but also a pleasant honey tint.
The finished inventory can be decorated with traditional carving, but painting can also be done. The most simple methods, accessible even to beginners, are gouache and acrylic painting.
To apply the drawing, carefully treat the surface with sandpaper, and then draw the outline of the drawing with an ordinary pencil.
To perform such a design, no special training. But the beautiful and spectacular Khokhloma painting requires a certain experience and skill level, this process takes a long time.
Summing up, we can say that wooden utensils are still a rather rare guest on ordinary kitchen. At one time, it was successfully replaced by products made of ceramics, metal and glass. However, the fashion for eco-products and manual work returns popularity of wood products. In addition, even a person who does not have special professional training is quite capable, guided by a video from the Internet, to learn how to make a plate out of wood. This item would make a great gift or original decoration own home.
Coasters for glasses for cold and hot drinks are actually very useful thing! There are no puddles and wet spots from the liquid on the table, moreover, it is aesthetically pleasing. You can make such a set of coasters with your own hands as a gift for your relatives and friends.
As a material, you can use trim different breeds tree. If they are contrasting, the stand will turn out more beautiful.
First, let's make a box for the coasters
1. From contrasting boards 12 mm thick, we glue a workpiece 1 meter long
2. When the glue dries, we cut off our workpiece to a thickness of 10 mm.
3. We cut out the details of the box in accordance with the drawing and grind them with sandpaper.
4. We glue the U-shaped box using electrical tape instead of clamps:
5. We cut out 4 legs according to the template, make fillets on them and assemble the box, gluing the PVA and tightening it with clamps:
Now let's move on to the stands.
1. We cut out 6 square blanks measuring 102 by 102 mm.
2. Now you need to make a fixture so that you can easily make recesses for the cork in the stands (see Fig. 3)
We cut out a square 216 by 216 mm. find the center in it and draw a circle with a diameter of 83 mm. Using a drill with a crown nozzle, we cut out a hole. From plywood we cut out planks-stops. We assemble the fixture in accordance with the drawing.
3. Place the fixture on the stand blank. Insert a straight cutter with a diameter of 6 mm into the collet of the plunge router and fix a copy sleeve with a diameter of 12 mm on the sole.
Now we will mill a round recess 5 mm deep in the stands.
4. Along the edges of the supports, we make roundings using a milling cutter. We sand the coasters and apply several layers of varnish on them.
5. Glue the inserts cut out of the cork into the center of the stand.

When eating, people are accustomed to using utensils made of modern materials, most often it is ceramics and various metal alloys. But in the old days, the majority of the population did not have the opportunity to purchase expensive utensils, so they used simple dishes made of wood and clay. Do-it-yourself wooden utensils were made, and many masters were very successful in this matter.
In order to understand how to work with wood correctly and how to use your skills in making dishes, you should understand the features of its different varieties.
In modern life, the role of wood was pushed aside by other materials, they largely occupied the niches of the construction and furniture industry, kitchen utensils were pushed much more strongly. Although the highest quality characteristics are not required for its manufacture, nevertheless, soft varieties of trees are not recommended.
An important factor remains medicinal property wood, for each variety they are peculiar:
In the case of serial or mass production of wooden utensils, you will need a carpentry workshop, with a large number of machines that will help in the procurement operations.
Though wooden crafts simpler designs such as an olive wood cutting board can be made using half of the listed tools.
That's all that can come in handy, because in ancient times there were craftsmen who carved dishes from wood, having 1-2 tools available, but their works were considered masterpieces. Today, such craftsmen can also be found.
Wooden utensils can be varied, but the example given considers the manufacture of a plate or spoon from wood blanks.
Advice! Before starting the procedure for cutting a pattern, it is necessary to draw its outline on the place of the cut with a pencil, professional carvers do not do this, but for a beginner such a contour will help a lot.
It's important to know! Use as protective materials conventional antiseptics for wooden dishes are strictly prohibited, they will cause chemical poisoning.
Ready-made wooden utensils are called “linen”, which means that all roughing operations have been completed, and you can start painting. Painting is a creative process that should be performed by people with artistic talents, but no one forbids you to practice this art on handmade wooden dishes. For a complete immersion in the process of painting, it is necessary to study the main styles that were used to paint kitchen utensils in the old days.
In this master class, we invite you to make original glasses from the boards. This will be the kitchen utensils natural wood, which will not harm your health and will not break if dropped. Thanks to a special professional treatment, the dishes can be rinsed under water without fear of damage. If you, as in this instruction, will make glasses from wood materials of different species, they will look very interesting. An additional plus to appearance there will be inscriptions or logos burned by you with your own hands, but this is already at your own request.
materials
To make wooden glasses with your own hands, you will need:
Step 1. First you will need to find boards suitable for this master class. Once again, they must be natural, untreated with chemicals. Otherwise, they cannot be used to make dishes.
If you want to create interesting decorative effects, choose materials of different breeds and shades.
Sort them by thickness, adjust if necessary by cutting off the excess, and be sure to sand the boards so that they fit better to each other in further work.
Step 2. Cut the boards to the same length.
Step 3. After the wood is harvested, the boards should be joined together. Using wood glue, glue them in small groups so that the total width of the resulting element is about 7 cm. For convenience, mark the bars with electrical tape and, after gluing, send them until the glue is completely dry, clamping them with clamps.
Step 4. At the end of the drying process, you will need to cut the bars into boards. Make the cut longitudinal so that one board consists of elements of several species. Please note that their appearance is shown in the photo.
Step 5. After that, the boards will again need to be glued together so that the pattern resembles a chessboard. Leave the width the same. When gluing, use wood glue, electrical tape and clamps again.
Step 6. After the glue has dried, you will need to process the bars into long cylindrical blanks. At this stage, the work will be rough. The edges do not need to be sanded.
Step 7. Cut each cylindrical beam into elements of the same height. Since these are blanks that will still be trimmed, make them a little larger than the height of the planned glasses.
With a lathe and hand tools to work with wood, you will need to give the assembled blanks the shape of a truncated cone. Take a sheet of plywood as a template, adjusting its edge to fit the shapes you need.
Pay attention to the protruding elements in the lower part, necessary for fixing the elements on the machine.
Step 8. Place each piece of wood in turn on the machine and, using hand-held wood cutting tools, cut out the inner cavity.
Step 9. Carefully sand your blanks. They should be perfectly smooth inside and out.
Step 10. After that, clean the elements from the remnants of wood dust and cover top coat designed for wooden utensils. Definitely waterproof.
