hey guys it's sean from crafts elements
and in this video i want to talk about
some of the basic shop tools you're
going to need to create things just like
this i find a lot of would-be resin and
wood artists are sort of intimidated by
these things they see on instagram these
beautiful shops elaborate amounts of
tools you don't need that to do
basic smaller jobs like this obviously
you need your resident wood materials
but there's some core tools you're going
to need so i want to walk you around my
shop which to be honest is relatively
basic compared to a lot of shops out
there who are doing really high end
woodworking but you're going to see that
there's very little you need to actually
make beautiful pieces like this
so
one of the first things i want to talk
about is saws
you're going to have your piece of wood
how do you cut it you have table saws
miter saws
jigsaws band saws what do you actually
need the tools that i use the most here
in the shop are the table saw
which this is a very basic table saw
this is something that you know is
high-end for home depot but it's not a
high-end saw by any means you know three
four five hundred dollars or something
like this that's going to allow you to
do rip cuts um as well as uh more
precision cuts to
create different lengths or partitions
of wood something over here it's a miter
saw chop saw some people call it it
allows you to do obviously direct down
cuts as well as adjust
for angles if you want to do any angle
cuts between
most jobs you're going to do for those
security boards small table tops your
miter saw and your table saw are going
to be more than sufficient however if
you didn't want to have a table flop
maybe you don't have a space for table
saw you could get something like this
which is uh this in this case this is
actually a track saw but it's
essentially the same as a skill saw or a
circular saw where you can use this saw
as well as a guide or simply free
handing it to cut down
slabs of wood
again if you don't have the space for a
table saw
for more precision cuts creating handles
uh doing rough cuts or maybe circles
a jigsaw you definitely are going to
want to have a jigsaw and something like
this can be had for you know a plug-in
one could be you know 89 bucks to
something a little bit higher end which
uses the battery for a couple hundred
dollars
now while we're on the topic of saws i
want to talk about a band saw
a band saw
in most cases if you're cutting
a small or rather thin
woodstock
such as you know inch two inch three
inch whatever pieces of wood and you're
cutting them to actually shape them not
cross cut them
then a jigsaw basically does what a
bandsaw does a bandsaw however is much
more convenient obviously you don't have
to strap down or clamp down your wood
like you would with a jigsaw
but the premise is the same you've got a
really thin blade which allows you to
kind of move and shape and work around
the wood so if you want to cut a curve
or a circle or you know some squiggly
line in a wood
you can't do that with a miter saw or a
table saw you can either use a jigsaw
bandsaw or a scroll saw scroll saw's
more for really fine woodworking with
small pieces really it's the the bandsaw
and the jigsaw that are going to do the
bulk of that work however as you can see
this is a big machine bigger usually
means more expensive you know whether
jigsaw is a couple hundred dollars
at most you're going to be spending i
think this machine from laguna's like 15
or 1600 us i believe
um you can certainly get cheaper ones
but you can also get really really
expensive ones that are you know 220
volt made for industrial shops
so really you don't need to go something
you don't need to get a bandsaw like
this until you really are going to step
up your game and you're doing high
volume or really high precision work
again using the example of the security
board that we introduced at the
beginning of this video
you really don't need this and in fact
you know i've been in this particular
shop here for three and a half years
i only got this machine like three
months ago two months ago and i've been
making all of our other stuff with my
other three saws jigsaw table saw miter
saw
coming back to the bench i want to talk
about
wood prep but specifically
live edge wood prep because a lot of
these resin wood projects are using live
edge i.e natural edge wood and you
cannot keep the bark on the wood when
you're using it with wood and resin well
in general you don't really want to keep
the bark on the wood because it's
eventually going to
expand or contract dry out and fall off
and it's going to look terrible so you
need to be able to remove that bark from
your wood now i do have a video on
debarking wood slabs again in this
youtube channel so i'd recommend you
check that out but just a really quick
primer on what tools you would need to
kind of get the basic amount of stuff
done
something like this is a i call this a
bark removal knife but i think it's
actually called the draw knife and
essentially what you do is you set up
your
your slab
bark out and then you go right into the
bark and then you just pull back
you've got to lose a little bit of power
but this really does a really good job
of getting under the bark and it just
peels right off
for any buck that doesn't peel off you
would use a high
for any bucket that doesn't peel off uh
maybe some barklets left over you have a
couple of different options you can use
a sander like a power sander with like a
low grit sanding disc like maybe a 60
grit or an 80 grit which means it's
really coarse a lower grit means more
coarse high grits are really fine
or you can step it up and use something
like this again really optional this is
probably something you don't need
especially if you're not doing a lot of
these and you're not working with a lot
of live edge wood but a shaping disc is
a hard metal disc and it's very very
sharp it's got these little burrs on it
and that attaches to any handheld
grinder and this will literally allow
you to go to town to shape uh wood and
just just go through wood
and be able to get that bark off really
really quickly but again really this is
an optional item
the basics to take the bark off draw
knife
some chisels these are really basic home
depot chisels which are essentially just
i mean you would obviously use this for
you know wood
wood carving and doing things like
inlays and stuff as well but you can
also use them for removing bark and
essentially it's just as easy as taking
a wood chisel taking any hammer and just
working the bark off the side of the
material
so yes that covers what you would need
for wood prep
now if we're talking about working with
wood or resin in general ppe is really
important whether you're cutting sanding
mixing resin pouring resin you need
proper ppe
it's 20 22 when i'm making this video so
at this day and age you probably already
know what an n95 mask is but you're
going to need either n95 masks or
something like this a respirator this is
a thick and an end i don't know if this
is a p95 it's p95 which is made for more
particulate matter and uh odors and like
toxic chemicals like this like would
help with uh resin uh or like high
high voc wood finishes where you don't
want to breathe that stuff in something
like a p95 ventilator or sorry
respirator
is what you're going to want versus an
n95 mask but in general an n95 mask
replaceable masks like
these guys will work just as well
hearing protection
although uh
as a teenager i'll just use them to
listen to really loud music and have my
headphones on all the time so my ears
are ringing all the time anyway i'm not
really sure what this this does for me
but um hearing protection is important
if you're using uh a saw bandsaw and
especially the plane airplane your plein
air can be really really loud and of
course eye protection and you really
want to focus on goggles rather than
just basic safety glasses especially if
you're working with wood and you're
cutting a lot of things where you could
have wood chips flying they get on they
can easily get under a pair of glasses
and these are not they're not expensive
like ppe in like this is really easy to
come by and it's not expensive home
depot amazon lowes etc
all right now moving on to some of the
fun stuff which is the actual resin
that you'd be using with your resin
projects
and of course the molds which are
supplied by our company craft
developments
we've partnered with totalboat on a lot
of our projects so we definitely use a
lot of total boat products here
totalboard has a pretty big line of
resins for makers and artists and
woodworkers and we do have a separate
video on that as well
uh so this is really just gonna be a top
level primer what i'm talking about here
in this case is you need resin that's
what i'm going to say you're going to
need resin you're going to need wood to
make resin and wood pieces to get the
specifics on what resin you're going to
need for what application watch some of
our other videos
but as far as tools you're going to need
consumables like stir sticks and
buckets to mix your resin and of course
you want to have graduated
labeled
buckets to make sure you can measure
your
resin appropriately
you're going to need either a heat gun
or torch or both so the heat gun and
torch are really really handy for a
popping
bubbles in your resin so if you've if
you've never really poured resin before
what you'll experience is a lot of
bubbles will come to the surface
air that has been trapped in the resin
will come to the surface and the easiest
way to get rid of those is just by going
over them really really gently
like this with a torch
and i'm doing that faster reason i'll
tell you a second
or with a heat gun
i'm doing it fast because you really
don't want to expose silicone molds
directly to like a flame if you're doing
it really really quickly like that just
to pop bubbles it's fine but i would
never hold a torch to a silicone mold
it's going to damage the mold don't do
that
i talked about this i talked about this
in one of our other videos as well but a
mold release especially if you're using
silicone molds like this
is required and basically that's
essentially a
go-between between your mold and your
resin and wood that allows you to easily
demold your product from the
molds and without damaging them because
molds are expensive especially these
large ones that we make here at craft
elements and you want them to last as
long as possible so while i'm on that
topic if you are new to resin and resin
and wood
craftselements.com our company has a ton
of specialized large format molds
specifically for resin and wood use
we've got pre-form molds like this which
are actually really really big on time
saving because they've got things like
preformed handles so you don't have to
worry about using templates or using
your saw to cut and shape a handle you
can literally
preform your wood or not preform pre-cut
your wood put it in the mold
uh pour your resin weigh it down and
then take out a near fitness chakra
board
now i say near finish because that's
going to bring me to the next topic
and the next set of tools which are the
finishing tools
as i mentioned earlier i've been in this
particular shop for three three and a
half years at this point and
i really only use one sander i use this
palm sander
in my case i've got it attached to our
vacuum system but there are many many
other palm sanders and orbital sanders
like this on the market here's a rigid
battery operated one which is obviously
a little bit more expensive this is
something around like the 200 price
range where this is
like 90 to maybe 119
um because it is not battery operated
it's hardwired but the advantage of the
of course the hardwired ones is
typically they have bigger motors but
they last longer you can run this thing
all day this thing needs you know
recharged every half hour unless you
have an endless supply of batteries so
some advantages and disadvantages there
and that's really all i use i mean i do
have another sander
over there at the table tab standard
which i'll go to over in a minute
but i rarely use it for vast majority of
things i'm just using my orbital palm
sanders
all right over to this section of the
shop is where i have my planer set up
i've got it recessed into
my countertop
people who watch my videos are always
like wow that's such a good idea it must
help with a snipe a snipe is essentially
where you plane something but the the
board either enters or exits a little
bit of a different angle and you end up
with a slightly lower part of the board
not to be talked about in this video but
anyway this doesn't help with snipe i
thought it would i thought it would give
me a nice light nice level surface but
really it's just more of a convenience
thing to have it recessed here you
definitely don't need to have
your planner recessed below a countertop
most of the time they're sitting on a um
on a tabletop and there are additional
leaves you can get for most planers
which will extend that work surface so
you start in and leave with a smoother
longer surface which reduces uh planer
snipe
anyway if you're not familiar with a
planer let me just explain this briefly
a planer what it does is it creates
obviously it's got a nice metal bottom
surface so you've got a flat perfectly
flat edge that's going in
and when you whatever you put in
assuming it has an uneven surface like
like if you're pulling a
piece of a resin and wood mold maybe
your wood's a little higher maybe your
resin is a little higher you want
everything the same level you want to
take all the excess stuff off whether it
be excess wood or excess resin make it
all slim level that's what the planer
does some people that are new to
resident wood say oh i'll just use a
sander i tried that i tried that five
years ago i was like i don't need a
planer i'll just you know hand sand it
with a really hot i look really low grit
sandpaper
it took me probably all day just to
remove you know a 16th inch of resin off
this tabletop i was working on so you
don't want to do that you need a planer
um if you don't if you're dealing with
small pieces like chicory boards or
maybe even small table tops this one
will do up to 13 inch wide by a limited
length so you know you could have a 13
inch by 36 inch board this will plane
that and level it down once you start
doing bigger things this will no longer
work you need a
slab leveler slab leveling jig
or something like a cnc machine or
an industrial planer something that's 30
inch 40 inch 52 inches wide so if you're
doing table tops for example and you
want to get into that you're not going
to buy your own 52 inch planer i can
almost guarantee that because they are
50 to 200 000 depending which one you
buy
but you can often rent time uh at local
wood shops or wood processing facilities
well they'll charge you 50 or 20 or 100
bucks an hour depending on their rate to
use their big industrial planer so you
can actually put your table in the back
of your car in your truck bring it over
there run it through their big planer
save you a bunch of time
if you did not want to take the plein
air if you want to take that route and
you're doing big objects like i said
using a slab leveling jig
is something that you'd want to consider
i had a slab leveling jig when i first
started out
um when i was making you know four six
foot long table tops essentially what it
is is it's two rails
uh and then a cross member section where
your router will sit on and then that
router has a slab leveling bit which is
essentially a very very wide bit
that spins around and you go up and down
and side to side
on this um this jig and that does
essentially the same thing a planer does
just a lot slower and much much messier
however i no longer have a slab leveling
jig because i have a cnc machine cnc
machine will do it automatically i'm not
going to talk about the cnc machine in
this video because that's if you're
looking at buying a cnc machine
your the content of this video is
far below what you need to know so cnc
machines is definitely a big step up and
it's a big expense we're talking about
getting down to the basics of what shop
tools you need to make small resonant
wood projects that's the focus of this
video
so while we're talking about routers
let's go on to our routers and router
table and we'll talk about those what
those are used for and really what they
cost
a router something you may or may not
need if you're doing uh small
woodworking projects i would probably
lean towards you will need one whether
you need a router table or a handheld
router that's kind of up to you but
essentially what is a router a router is
going to now enable you to do
things like
chamfering edges rounding edges there's
a lot of different router bits available
so i'm going to bring these close to the
camera but these bits would be used on a
router to give you a nice round edge
it'll round off the edge of your entire
board whatever you're working on
um
there's also bits like this this bits
installed in my router table this is a
flush trim bit it's for use for things
like templates so our we actually carry
here craft elements a complete line of
pre-shaped acrylic templates these are
what make
making the handles
and other more precise shaped cuts of
our products and our customers products
possible and essentially what happens
here on a router table as this template
lines up with the router bit and there's
a little bearing on top of this bit and
when this bit when this bearing goes
around
the router template your wood would be
underneath
the blade on the bottom of this bit
trims the wood to the exact profile of
this fetter template and what these are
good for is really taking the guesswork
and effort out of shaping wood but again
you wouldn't necessarily need a template
if you're just freehanding everything or
using a jigsaw or a bandsaw for example
so this is a handheld router there's
also a plunge option for that plunge
meaning it will sit in a case that goes
up and down so you don't have to worry
about fiddling around with changing the
level of it but you can actually push on
it to go down pull on it to go up that
would be the plunge router which is what
you would get at the most basic level
otherwise you could go to a router table
and a router table all it really is is a
handheld router mounted underneath a
panel and that panel's got a big hole in
it and it's a flat surface to allow you
to have more
control over what you're doing so
instead of having to you know hold your
router or move it around your board or
whatever maybe you know risk having it
not level the router table stays level
and you would take your wood this is not
wood but you know just follow me here
and he would just run it along the bit
as the router table goes as the router
table spins
so at the bare minimum you'll probably
want to get a handheld router if you're
going to do some basic edging and
shaping uh it definitely helps you clean
up and make a little bit more
professional look to your board chakri
boards and on wood and resin art
projects
so rather something you'd get and
realistically if you're going to get the
router around your table's not that much
more this one is probably one of the
cheapest ones you can get but i thought
i'd talk about this a little bit earlier
in the video this is a rotational or
rotary sanding table uh and this part
rotates and oscillates which basically
means it goes up and down and it spins
and there's different attachments you
can get for it like this which is
essentially a large continuous piece of
sandpaper
um i rarely use this and this is only
something you would have to get and
invest in if you're
doing a lot more production
if you're doing a few boards a month or
a few pieces a month you really don't
need this but if you want to save time
these aren't that expensive three to
four hundred dollars for something like
this machine and it will save you time
in sanding but otherwise like i said
earlier in the video i'm really just
using my hand sander my orbital palm
sander to do the vast majority of
sanding on these small resin wood
projects
so if you've got this far in the video
you're probably watching okay it's great
i want to get started this is a really
cool craft i want to make the i want to
make this a hobby or a business you know
what's it going to cost me i mean i
can't really speak to you know how much
wood or resin is going to cost you
that's always variable on how much
you're going to use but really on what
we covered in the last 10 minutes or so
here in the shop i've put together an
amazon list from amazon.com we've got a
um a heat gun a router bit set a dewalt
cordless drill a dewalt jigsaw dewalt
router with a plunge kit
we've got a benchtop router table you
can attach that
router to
we've got a dewalt sander a dewalt miter
saw which is the chop saw essentially
a dewalt thickness planer which is
probably the most expensive of of all
the tools and then you've got a dewalt
10-inch table saw
with a stand and that grand total comes
to just over 2100 us dollars keeping in
mind that dewalt is not a super low-end
brand you can definitely you could
probably cut this down in half by buying
used tools or lower end uh private label
tools from amazon or home depot or
lowe's or whatever but by the same token
this is relatively cheap if you're
outfitting you know an industrial wood
shop where you know a high-end planer
could cost you five or ten or twenty
thousand dollars right so it's all kind
of relative and in perspective but again
in this video where we're talking about
what you need to get started doing small
wooden resin projects
two thousand dollars for this stuff plus
maybe another four to five hundred
dollars in your small tools your
consumables like sandpaper and router
bits and
uh you know
you know screwdrivers and things like
that uh just the small items that you
you probably aren't going to use very
often but that are going to be there in
case you need them
you can definitely get started with two
to three thousand dollars and you can
outfit yourself with a nice a nice wood
shop that you can
start this hobby with or even a small
business
well that basically comes to the end of
this video i hope you found it really
informative
um it really should show that anybody
with a little bit of will a little bit
of money and the desire to learn can
take up this craft take up this hobby
start a small business
doing things like this
making wood and resin pieces using
commonly available relatively
inexpensive tools whether you go and buy
them all new or buy them used it's
completely up to you but i just wanted
to show you that you don't need an
elaborate large shop and this is
honestly not even an elaborate large
shop
they're certainly much much bigger much
much better things out there but you can
really get started as a weekend warrior
working in your basement or garage and
really pump out pieces just like this as
long as you've got the right materials
and the right basic tools
