The Multi Wooden Piece
In this instructable I will show you how to make The Multi Wooden Piece which has several uses in the decorative field and other fields. Woodworking is one of the most things that I love to create and work in as a hobby. Woodworking is a big world to choose what your gonna work on, so I decided to create a unique piece of wood (hand maded "a lot of hard work") that anyone can use it in different ways and forms, like a vase, a wooden egg......, up to 13 different uses as shown below.
Important Note : This instructable is characterized by it's sustainability over the years.
Tools and Materials
In this instructable you will need:
- hand sander
- scissor
- cutter
- wood
- drill
- hole saw drill bits
- white glue
- paper sander
Drill
- Drill three wooden circles using 2" or 2.5" hole saw drill bit.
- Drill two wooden circles using 1" hole saw drill bit.
In this part I was going to drill all the 5 circles of the same size but then I realize that the upper one's will be sanded so I drill 2 circles smaller than the other's.
Ready Wooden Circles
In this project no matter what kind of wood you prefer to use, but as good as you choose the kind of wood your project will be more attractive. Here's I use Oak which is one of the most popular woods utilized in furniture and craft making. There are many varieties of oak, but most have very similar qualities for woodworking. While oak has a very distinct, sought-after appearance which will be more decorative, it can be a difficult wood to work with especially while drilling and sanding. However, handmade makes always is been difficult while building a crafty wood but on the other hand it always get great results.
Glue Them Up
This part is pretty easy, but be carefull while glueing to combine the wooden circles in a way to be centered on the same axis, here you will use a strong white glue and put an enough amount on each side of the wood parts, then press them togther to prevent the apearnce of air holes between each circle that will affect on the view after sanding, keep them tight for 6 to 8 hours.
Sanding Tools
Sanding nowdays has been developed using like electric sandee but here in my project I used only sand paper to be hand maded and I also created a small sander tool to put in the drill just for the hard parts in the project as shown in the video above.
Sanding
This part is the hardest one above all the steps since you will keep sanding and sanding and.....
So first after glueing it, start to sand it with rough grit sandpaper, then move toward fine grit sandpaper. Beside be carefull while sanding to preserve the shape of the wood.
The Upper Hole
This step is optional, if you wanna keep it as it is it's not nessaccery to apply it, but here I prefered to make a hole using 3/4" hole bit to be able to add some other parts to decorate it.
Sand After the Hole
After drilling a hole in the upper part of the wooden piece use a sand paper to smooth it from above.
Ready to Polish
Keep sanding until you get the perfect surface for polishing.
Polishing
After sanding, use a piece of fabric to polish the wooden peice until it gets that bright attractive view.
