Making a Table top FIRE PIT for Indoors and Outdoors, Semiportable
In this video I decided to make something modern and functional, something that I couldn't get out of my mind since my mom gave me the idea, a portable fire pit. This has been one of my favorite projects because it looks great and is also functional. In the end, the fire pit came out a little heavier than I though, 40lbs or so, but it is still portable haha.
This is the link of the plans:

Observations:
-Always read the specifications of gel fuel cans to heat food, it is important to know if they can be burned indoors.
-The glass I used is 8 mm thick and they measure
Front and back 40 x 20 cm
Sides 14 x 20 cm
It is recommended to use tempered glass.
-the fire pit (cement base) measures: 14 cm high, 25 cm wide and 46 cm long.
-It is important to reinforce the base with mesh because the walls are quite thin 3 cm
-The mixture I made was 2 parts of sand and 1 of cement.

I Gave this wood a second chance and it turned out EPIC!
In this video, I decided to reuse a couple of boards that were hidden in my yard for 7 years, one of which had a broken edge that gave me an idea to try something new. I made the top using white and gray cement, reinforcing it with a mesh, I also used Japanese joints to make the legs of the table, I sanded the top with 220 grit sandpaper to expose more of the combination and finished with 400 sandpaper.

Making marble effect with cement | Mind-blowing results!
This is an experiment to find the best combination and thickness of cement to create the marble effect, making something useful a Cement Weight that has several functions, very interesting.
Observations
It took me a bit to unmold them because I didn't put anything in the molds, maybe it's a good idea to put wax, mold release or something similar. Also, I recommend letting the cement dry in some shade because the sun will make the water evaporate quickly and the surface of the cement will end up rough.

Incredible Jig! Every woodworker should have one of this, DIY woodworking project.
This idea is based on a jig made by Gonzalo Ré, you can visit his channel on Youtube it is called Gonzalo Ré.
I found this jig pretty handy because I like to make projects with hand tools, this is the easy way to make this jig which I think is more convenient for most people.
The woods I used are pine and cedar and the magnets are ones that I had on hand, and they work well, although the recommended ones are neodymium magnets because they are stronger.

Modern coffee table made from old mahogany and quartz! DIY Woodworking project
This project has been on my mind for a long time. Finally, I decided to do it but with a simple design, to make it easy to built with the tools I have available. The table is made of mahogany and has a height of 48 cm, although I think I would have preferred it a little lower, if you plan to make it I recommend using cardboard templates to visualize the size in your living room and modify the height, width or length if needed, I will leave the plans below. I cut the legs at 79 degrees to give it a modern touch. I just sanded the edges of the wood, because the hand plane left a smooth finish (planing the boards by hand took me about a month because the cuts came out a little crooked, and I had to hand plane almost 1 cm in each leg, so I recommend you to be patient and take breaks, hand made projects take time and dedication) the finish I used is simply a wood oil. For the 3/8” dowels I used a jig that I made, although the holes didn't come out exactly the same :| I recommend buying a 3/8” dowel jig. I made the table based in the dimensions of the quartz (engineered stone) countertop I used, which I had lying around for a long time, but I think a wooden top would look just as good, and it's not that difficult to make. The design is so simple that you can use 2x4s to make the legs if you want.
The project was a little harder than I anticipated because I needed a few more tools but in the end I like the result, the reddish orange color of the mahogany contrasts very well with the white top and the structure holds the weight of the top without problems.

Genius way to make a guitar hanger! DIY woodworking project
I consider this guitar stand one of my favorite projects so far, the combination of mahogany with aluminum is one of my favorites, I sanded the wood with 100, 180, 300, 600, 1000 and 2000 grit sandpaper to achieve a better contrast, I also sanded the aluminum before bending it with 600 grit, I made the jig to bend the pieces with a clamp (as a lever) that already had two ideal holes for this, and some screws, I also tried to make the pieces with an aluminum rod, but I wasn't able to bend it with this homemade jig, so I recommend using aluminum tube, the finish I used is an oil with a slight brown tint, the glue I use is general purpose epoxy.
This is a very cheap, and easy project ideal for anyone. The only thing I recommend is to measure the neck of the guitar you use, I also leave the plans at the end of the video.

I made a fancy phone holder
This time I decided to make a base to leave the phone while charging or while I watch videos, although it also works for tablets, books or even watches. I made the legs with a scrap piece of 1/4 inch or 6 mm acrylic, I had to remove the texture of the faces, but it was worth it, the project could have been easier if I had bought the right acrylic, for the rest I used mahogany with the same thickness. It is a very easy project that does not need many tools, perfect for beginners. The design is original, I designed it myself, I wanted it to be something modern and elegant because it is also a piece of decoration for the home.
If you liked the idea, do not forget to give it a like and subscribe because I will continue doing more projects :).

How to make aluminum bracelets easy | with basic tools
In this video, I will show you how to make and engrave aluminum bracelets. This is a very easy project, and you don't need many tools, the process doesn't take long because the aluminum is a very soft and malleable metal. Also, the aluminum can look very similar to silver, depending on the surface you leave on it. In the video I use various types of sandpaper from 60 to 1500 grit to vary the look of the bracelets, the bracelets are easily adaptable to any type of wrist. I recommend you to file the corners well to prevent the bracelets from hurting when using them. Also, always use water while sanding them, it will prevent you from leaving an uneven look.
I advise you to investigate on your own about aluminum, if it is safe to use as an accessory, the use of aluminum bracelets is at your own risk.

How to make a versatile hat hanger | Plans available
In this video I am making a simple but unique mahogany and aluminum hat hanger, the idea was based on two requirements, I would need to hang more than one cap in a compact way and at the same time keep them separated from the wall. I also wanted it to be a cap hanger with a different, unique design.
I love the result, it allows me to hang 5 caps comfortably, even more if I place two in each space, you can even hang belts, ties, headbands, scarfs and necklaces and everything looks organized, the only thing to consider is that it does not work with flat caps.
It is a very easy project to make, ideal for beginners or for those who want to make a new project and need few tools and materials.
