Chopstick Bowl Tutorial

Hi Welcome all


So I am going to kick off with an easy to make and amazingly beautiful Bowl made of Chopsticks made by Stephan Vigues...chopsticks can you believe it?




Only 30 chopsticks and a piece of wood is used to make a bowl with a contemporary look.


Skill Level
Easy


Materials
3/4 inch Plywood or pallet wood
30 Chopsticks
the tiniest nail you can find
wood glue

Tools
A good jigsaw that cuts with angle, or a regular jigsaw
A file
A compass



How to make it:

On your piece of wood, draw an 8.5 inches circle, if you have the angle cutting jigsaw, cut the circle with 30 degrees angle. If you don't have a jigsaw, you'll have to be patient and with a file, remove enough material to get the 30 degrees angle.

 


Once this is cut, you did the most difficult part.

Now you need to nail and stick the chopsticks all around the circle like this:

 
Leave the equivalent of a chopstick between two chopsticks.
A trick to nail easily, is to pre-drill with a tiny drill bit to help the nailing.
And Voila.....





Conclusion:

An easy to do project. The nails + glue give a very sturdy creation.

  20. The neω еducаtіon secretary
    Mіchаel Groνe аnnounсed that this new school buildіng pгoject along with
    the BSF Вuіlding sсhoοls fοr уour Future build by
    thе previous goveгnment сould be cancеlled to save lоts of money.

    Both kinds of ѕchοols must folloω the identical сurriculum anԁ sο the scholars are rеquireԁ tο understand the same
    things. This institutе haѕ targeteԁ at providing
    a pοwerful acаdemic foundation foг the young toddlегs in οгder that theу could get useԁ on the academic learnіng anԁ might get thе quality educatіon.
