Pick up any round container the same size as you want to make your mug. Place the bars around it and connect them with duct tape. Leave the last section open, that is, do not complete the circle.

Now spread the resulting blank on a flat surface and apply a little glue in the space between the bars. Fold the product again, forming a circle. To fix the boards more tightly, use a thick rope and a few hard objects that are at hand, such as screwdrivers. Wrap the product tightly with a rope, tie solid objects to several ends for weighting. The main thing is to create pressure between the parts so that they are in tight contact. Leave the product in this position to allow the glue to dry.

Now we need to make a handle for our mug. Approximate size 20 cm x 8 cm. It is best to first make a sketch. Transfer it to the blank for the pen, carefully cut it out. Sand the part with any grinder. When the glue dries, you can polish the surface of the mug itself. For a more natural and original look, decorate the mug with strips of sheet metal of small width. It is best to screw the part to the bar at the base of the handle. You can also use decorative laces, rings, cut a pattern on the surface. In general, the individuality of the mug will depend on the imagination of the master.

First, attach the handle to the main part of the mug. Do this with glue, liquid bunches, self-tapping screws, etc. Then cut the bottom out of plywood or a harder material. It should fit in size, but you should not be too scrupulous in its processing: no one is going to drink from a mug, which means it is not necessary to ensure reliable docking with the frame. Polish your finished work.

Project: August 2004

This is one of the very first attempts to openly show the manufacturing technology of one of their products online. This has never happened before in practice. Memories of the events of that time today cause a smile. Firstly, a carpenter with a camera - then it’s hard to imagine, but with a computer and Internet access - it’s generally nonsense. Secondly, not everyone is able to share their “secrets” and best practices, both then and today.

Since then, I have acquired many modern equipment developed many new technologies. AND oak mug today it would look a little different, and the manufacturing technology would most likely change. But in memory of the product of that time, I decided to save this master class and transfer it to the pages of the new site virtually unchanged, although on the Internet parts of the original text are found in the description of many sites ...

Well, the story itself began with one order. Then still a young company "Arena" for its Arena Beer House decided to order tasting trays in which customers would be served four different beers to sample. The variety you liked should have been served in wooden beer mug. Then I designed the mug together with wooden tray. Wooden mugs were made in small quantities, and the tray remained in the sketches (although the manufacturing technology was also worked out).

Below, as promised - the original description from the old site:

“It all started with a conversation about wine oak barrels and the like. This gave me the idea to do oak mug for beer. Previously, I did not have to deal with the manufacture of mugs, so I decided to do it using my own technology. After reviewing a dozen sites about beer, I made a discovery for myself - for 50 ml of vodka, a glass with a capacity of 50 ml is enough, but beer still has its own foam. That's why beer mug must have a place for foam. The beer fills about 3/4 of the glass. Accordingly, for 0.5 liters of beer, the mug should have a volume of about 0.8 liters.

So, to business!

I don’t know what Papa Carlo made his mug from, I decided to use a time-tested material - oak. For the manufacture of mugs it is necessary to prepare eight oak blanks measuring 150x60x15mm and one 135x70x25mm for the handle. It is necessary to trim the bars at an angle of 6 °, since the mug will have a conical shape. Yes, I almost forgot that the bottom is necessary so that the beer does not pour out. The bottom of the mug is also double-layer oak. Two blanks 130×130×3mm. The direction of the texture of the first, is located across the texture of the second workpiece. For the mug, you also need a copper strip of about 900 × 13 × 0.7 mm.

If you have prepared everything and still have the desire to make an oak mug, then go ahead!

The body blank must be shaped into a trapezoid with a base of 59mm and a top of 48mm. The ends are beveled inward at an angle of 22.5 degrees. The peculiarity is that the ends are processed for a tenon-groove connection! After processing, the workpiece will look like this.

Having previously cut the bottom in the shape of an octahedron (the size depends on the depth of the groove), you can start assembling the mug.In the assembled state, give the upper edge of the mug a thinner shape and round off. It is also necessary to round off the corners at the bottom of the mug.

Now you need to make a handle for the mug. You can choose any form. For convenience, the edges of the handle should be rounded as much as possible. At the ends of the handle, it is necessary to make holes for further attachment to the body of the mug.

The next step in making the mug is attaching the handle to the body. Here it was necessary to apply unusual technology. We encircle the mug with copper stripes with a printed pattern. We fix the ends of the strips on one of the planes of the mug with the help of screws threaded through oak dowels. Such fastening allows you to securely fix copper and dowels on the body of the mug. Next, press the handle onto the dowels. This method makes the connection between the handle and the body of the mug secure and invisible.



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, door handles 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 markup is a potential blow to the forehead by a flying blank))) By the way, here on the site there are articles on making lathe on 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 epoxy resin, you can also use glue that is not afraid of temperature exposure. 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 out, and then the master places the glass back into the chuck of the lathe, this is necessary in order to align the bottom of the camping mug to the maximum.

And one more strict instruction from the author!!! Don't cover wooden surface 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)

As you may have noticed, the author’s metal mug has a lid, but in a wooden case, with the lid closed, the liquid will remain hot or cold longer, depending on what is poured. Accordingly, the mug has become very beautiful and already unique, because the pattern of the tree is not repeated)
The work is certainly not easy, but the result is worth it. By the way, you can also burn out some kind of drawing, or an inscription, as they say, "at your discretion."

Do you want to make an original gift for a wedding or birthday? Or a thing that would be nice to use and pick up, then we suggest making a wooden mug with your own hands, which will really look unusual, it will definitely be pleasant to drink any drink from such a mug.

What you need to make a wooden mug:

  • Thick tree branch;
  • Saw (electric or manual);
  • Hammer and chisel;
  • Drill;
  • Joiner's glue (PVA);
  • Sandpaper;
  • Polyurethane varnish.

How to make a wooden mug, step by step instructions:

The first step is to find a branch suitable for the mug, I often see similar ones when trees are pruned on the street, and there I chose a piece of branch of the required thickness. You will also need even thinner branches for the handle.

Trim the branch to your desired mug height. Remove the bark from this piece of branch, I used a flathead screwdriver to remove most of the bark.

Now we need to divide the log into four sections, for this I used a chisel and a hammer, with the help of which I carefully split the log.

For each of the 4 parts of the mug, measure 19 mm from the bottom, make an incision in this part, but so that the wall thickness remains about 9 mm on the sides. The saw makes a straight cut on a rounded object, so you need to be careful not to cut too far on the sides. Using a chisel, knock out the inner piece of wood from the top, it should break off before the notch, then continue to cut and knock out the excess from the inside of the mug parts until you reach the desired thickness of the mug walls and so that they are rounded.

Using sandpaper, clean the inside of the mug without touching the side splits where they should stick together.

Now, using wood glue, glue the two parts together with masking tape and leave to dry for a day. Then grease the side and bottom walls with glue and now glue everything together, tightening it with masking tape, electrical tape or an elastic band.

When gluing, gaps may remain in some places; they can be covered with tyrsa mixed in glue (fine wood chips). Leave the glue to dry overnight.

After the glue dries, carefully sand everything from all sides, round the bottom and top of the wooden mug with sandpaper so that there are no sharp edges.

I sanded the bottom inside the mug with a homemade disc made of wood mounted on a metal rod, and I glued sandpaper to this disc.

Let's now take up the creation of a handle for our wooden mug, for this, take one thicker stick, the other thinner, remove the bark from them, cut them to the desired length, you should get two thin sticks and one thick one longer.

Drill through holes with a drill with a diameter of the thinnest sticks in the wall of the mug (in its upper and lower parts, one above the other) and in a thick handle also through and at the same distance and insert thin sticks into the holes, applying plenty of carpentry glue to the tips so as not to there were gaps in the circle.

What remains is the finishing of our wooden mug, I used polyurethane for this (this is a type of synthetic varnish that is used to coat and treat wooden products). For complete waterproofing, it was necessary to apply several layers.

Since the wooden mug was a wedding gift, I printed out a heart template with the initials and the date of the wedding, and using a dremel with an engraving nozzle, I cut out an engraving along the outlines of the template, similar to what lovers do on tree trunks with a knife. Then I painted these engraving contours with black paint and varnished.

This is what a finished wooden mug looks like, made by hand, I hope you like it as much as I do.

Every year, thousands of raids, or simply pallets, become unusable and go to the fire or turn into wood chips.

However, few people think that, even broken in several places, it can last for many years in the form of a shelf or a coffee table. It just takes a little skill and imagination. Today we will tell you how, for example, to make a souvenir beer mug and a woodpile rack from a pallet.

For people who are passionate about creativity, it is usually not difficult to find suitable material. For the manufacture of various interesting things, old unnecessary furniture, a dry tree in a garden or forest are quite suitable.

And it's easy to find an old pallet. Wooden pallets lie in abundance near various commercial objects. Therefore, it is quite enough to pick up a good, clean copy and slightly disassemble it for easy loading into the car. Everything you have good material for making interesting crafts.

BIG BEER MUG!

To simplify production, we decided to take larger dimensions and make a beer mug 150×220 mm. This is largely due to its gift nature and subsequent life as an interior decoration.

To make a mug we need:

  • a piece of tie-down metal tape;
  • 15 planks, cut from a pallet;
  • paper tape or tape;
  • mug handle;
  • the bottom of the mug;
  • twine;
  • glue.

STEP 1. Making planks

As mentioned earlier, there should be 15 slats. Their dimensions: width - 30 mm. length - 220 mm. Chamfering at an angle of 12 degrees on both sides. You can also refer to the schematic drawing presented by us above.

STEP 2. Fitting

Having made the strips, it is necessary to try them on. To create a circle, it is enough to take a liter can of paint (preferably empty). After determining the quantity, it is necessary to connect them with adhesive tape or paper adhesive tape, leaving the ends free, as in the photo.

STEP 3. Gluing

Remove the resulting wooden rug from the can and lay it on the work surface with adhesive tape down. Spread all the planks together, including the extreme ones, and until the glue hardens, put the structure on the can again, pulling it with twine.

STEP 4. Pen

While the glue dries, you need to make a handle. Note that the handle can be purchased ready-made or bent from iron, but you can also make it yourself. In our case, it turned out to be 200 × 80 mm in size. Cutting it out of the pallet is not difficult, but for

smoothing corners requires the presence of a grinder or active work with sandpaper.

STEP 5. Decorating.

The step is optional, but beautiful

To decorate a dried blank, it is enough to skip two holes around its entire circumference at the level of fastening the future handle. A metal tape will pass through them, fixed with short nails or screws that fasten the handle to the mug. The main thing to consider when installing decorative rings is the tightness of the tape to the wood.

STEP 6. At the bottom

The last step in assembling the mug is the installation of the bottom. The bottom of the mug should fit into the workpiece quite tightly and, if desired, it can also be smeared with a small amount of glue. Immediately after installation, the entire structure must again be wrapped with twine and left alone until completely dry. After drying, remove the twine and grind off the edges to give a presentable look.

BY THE WAY:

Pallet woodpile rack in 30 minutes!

To assemble the rack shown in the photo, you will need a 1200 × 1600 (1800) pallet. However, if you need to stack a small amount of logs, a standard 800 × 1200 pallet will do. Actually, in the manufacture of such a rack, it is enough to use the screws that the pallet was twisted, but to give it additional strength, we recommend purchasing four mounting plates 2 mm thick and fixing them on the inside of each corner.

Such a rack can be installed both on the street and by the fireplace, filling the house with comfort, there will be no need to leave the house for firewood.
