Wooden cups from pallets

Dear visitors of the site, from the material presented by the author, you will learn how to make wooden cups from ordinary pallets yourself, it certainly sounds a little strange .. how is it ?, from a pallet a glass? But for the masters there is nothing impossible))

Today, pallets are a universal material that is used in construction, manufacturing of furniture, fences and many more where else, but about the creation of utensils from a pallet, few have probably heard))

Glasses of this wood are completely safe and you can drink water and other drinks from them, they are coated with varnish and a special waterproof composition.

To make a wooden cup from a pallet, it is necessary to get these very pallets (of different types of wood). The author picked up several dozen flights near a shoe store, shoes were brought to them. Dismantled them on the boards in the same place on the spot and loaded them into the car interior.

Having brought the material home, he immediately began to process it, first he passed it through the thickness gage and cut it off, then cut off the uneven edges. Further, the workpieces are glued together and pulled together with clamps, remain in this position for 24 hours. After that, the screed is removed and the blanks are rounded on a circular saw, then cut into the length of the glass. Wooden ingots are machined on a wood lathe and the cup itself is already turned directly. It is varnished and a special waterproof composition.

And so, let's look at how the author made wooden cups from pallets.

Step-by-step instructions for making wooden cups from pallets do it yourself.

The author came up with an excellent idea for turning waste into expensive handicrafts that are in good demand and the master only manages to take orders for those who want to get the treasured wooden cup from the pallet)

The work was carried out very serious and painstaking, but the author filmed everything in great detail and in the smallest details on a video that is really nice to watch, as they say, "You can endlessly look at three things, how fire burns, how water flows and how a person works." with you and see)



As mentioned above, at first the author found a lot of pallets near the shoe store, where he was given them completely free of charge, and he gladly dismantled several dozen pallets right on the spot with a special device for parser analysis. Gently folded into the car so that fit as many freebies as possible))Arriving home, he immediately proceeded to processing, at first he passed through a surface gage.The planks turned out to be smooth and even.Then you need to saw off the uneven edges and fit all the workpieces to the same size.Planks are selected according to the alternation of wood species, previously the end face is glued with tape. Further, the surface of the board is lubricated with carpentry glue and tightened with clamps, in this position they remain for 24 hours until the glue completely dries.Then the resulting blanks are given a rounded shape - this is necessary for subsequent processing on a wood lathe. Further, the author cuts the glued poles to the size of the future cup with a margin.Get a lot of glasses ..A hole is drilled at the end of the workpiece on a drilling machine.The blank is put on the head of the lathe.We give a conical shape to our glass.The master has such a conductor with which he measures the edges of the glass in order to standardize the production of identical glasses to the maximum.It is removed from the machine and while it is laid aside on the table.Changes the cartridge and clamps the workpiece by a specially machined protrusion, and then grinds the inner cavity of the glass at the end of the workpiece.After the cups are ready, the master proceeds to apply the stigma to the surface of the cup and he does this with a gas burner and a metal stamp.Next, a layer of varnish and a protective waterproof composition should be applied to the wall.Charges the workpiece again in the headstock of the machine.Turns on and paints the rotating product.The end part of the protrusion of the lathe clamped in the chuck is cut off with a cutter.Leave on the table to dry.The end of the glass is grinded on a grinding machine.That's actually what turns out as a result of the work done.The job is certainly not easy, but the result is just CLASS! and it’s not a pity for the time and effort spent, and most importantly, the material is freebies)) and the master will sell his glasses as handicrafts and exclusive. As the saying goes, "Waste to income" By the way, here's an idea for a small business, there are no competitors, do not want to))
