everyone like along here so this week I am
working on a revisit of mill project this is the powdered plywood storage chest that I made
for the rockered plywood challenge a little over a year ago and this is one of my favorite projects
that I've built on this channel even at the time that I made it I knew that I was gonna have to
revisit it and try and make some other patterns so that's what I'm gonna do this week is that
I've got a fresh sheet of plywood over there and a whole bunch of different design ideas so I
hope you stick around and see what I come up with okay so I have a panel all glued up and
this is basically the same process as I did on the original box and basically I've
cut a 45 degree angle here so I'll sand it on the surface and now I can run it through
the table saw the table saw is set at 1 inch which is pretty arbitrary you can do 3/4 and
it'll be quicker repeating and then you can also do like 3 inches and it would be a
much wider w I've also got the original push stick from the video and that has a 45
degree bevel cut on it with some sandpaper on the inside and that just helps a grip and
push through evenly as you go through the song all right so you might have noticed when I
was cutting those that some of them split apart and this happened to me on the last
one as well everyone smile there's there's a connection that just either absorbed too
much glue or I didn't get enough glue on there it's not a big deal what I do is
I clamp down a straightedge and then I use some star bond CA glue I've got a discount
code for this down in the description so you're gonna go check that out I use wood glue on the
surface first add a little bit of CA glue here an accelerator on here press those together
the CA glue acts as a clamp and the wood glue does the lion's share of the work to hold it
together and just like that let's put together see there that's the chevron pattern that
I use on the box and you could stop right there and it looks awesome this is a great
pattern what I'm going to do is I'm going to take another step further and these are 1-inch
strips so I'm going to cut one inch strips this way and then when you flip them you should end
up with a whole series of concentric squares a quick I wanted to thank my patreon supporters
you guys are the best I just launched it about a month ago and it's so nice to have a bunch of
people on there to show my appreciation I'm going to send you out the sticker which is a little
piece of my shop that you can put on your shelf Thanks okay I am working on the second pattern
and this one's gonna look kind of like a basket weave the idea is that I'm gonna be using the
ends of the pieces of wood so you're gonna see veneer on the face but that'll get covered
at the end I'm gonna make this pattern three times in each time I make the powder I'm gonna
take the end one and move it forward so that the whole pattern sort of transfers around and
then when it glues up it's gonna offset by one okay so I've got three of these panels made
and they are ready to cut into individual strips I'm going to be cutting them into half inch
strips which is the final thickness of the panel okay so I have the diamond pattern
the chevron pattern and the basket weave and now I've got a whole bunch of
leftover parts but I'd like to the con mess around with other patterns so what I'm
going to do is going to take the remainder of the scraps the individual pieces and
I'm just gonna see what I can make out there you go that is a deep dive into pattern
making and I think I could go even further like the my favorite ones are actually the ones that
I get at the very end and just made a scrap and the scrap itself is just gorgeous I cut some on a
45 and they are beautiful so there's just so much potential here and I'm definitely not done and
speaking of which there will be another video that comes out where I make these into something if
you haven't subscribed subscribe now and hit that little bell because that's gonna let you know when
this video will come out also if you guys try this out let me know I would love to see it hit me up
on Instagram if you if you make an attempt at the pattern plywood it's super fun and I'm not even
scratching the surface there's way more patterns you can do with this and just playing around with
a scrap and stuff in it it's it's so interesting and I think that I'm gonna revisit this multiple
times I definitely want to build a piece of furniture out of this and a bunch of other things
so anyway hope you guys enjoyed it if you got any questions ask in the comments down below and
I'll catch you on the next one thanks a lot
