Imagine how many different scoops you can make for your 2 X 4 project contest?

nice to see you use the bandsaw like you did, so many people try to do everything just using a tablesaw. thanks for the idea.

You're very welcome Mr.Ed. Thanks to Patrick for originally sharing it.

You're my hero. I see boxsprings illegally dumped all the time and ponder picking it up for the wood but haven't done so yet. I got a basement full of salvage wood, love reuse! Interesting scoop building technique also. Just watched Paul Sellers video on hand carving a scoop (actually not that difficult) and this is a good complement. Thanks as always

Love the t-shirt you wore at the beginning of the video: "Good things come to those who work their asses off and never give up". My dad had a saying very much like that: "If you ever find yourself in need of a helping hand, the only one you can truly rely on is at the end of your arm".

Very well said! I like that one.

Your shirt reminded me of something my grandfather, who was a successful business man, used to say. People would always tell him how luck he was that his grocery stores made such good money, and he'd always say "yeah I found out the harder I worked, the luckier I got."

Yup. Nothing works unless you do!

Very cool scoops,I'll have to try that.

Came back as a refresher in 2018!! Thanks Jay!!

Man! Your workshop then and now... wow, what a difference! ;)

Recently got a bandsaw, so I'm looking for project ideas. Thanks!

Those turned out very cool.

Very nice scoops. And it looks like a fun project to make. It always surprises me how straight are the cuts a band saw can make.

I love this bandsaw. Works great. But honestly the blade is what will make a great cut.

you really need to add a couple spoke shaves to your tool box .. those would have made your scoop project a joy to behold .. a few min with the spoke shave and one min on the sander and you would be done .. a spoke shave also gives you some feedback to how the shape is evolving while your using it ... You probably already know this and just did not think to use one or did not have yours sharp and ready to go for this project .. I love how they turned out and that band saw sure did you proud .. you have that set up well to get such even cuts over such a tall height. Thanks for showing us that ...

After cutting 6" of oak end grain, your band saw deserves a raise! That was impressive!

THANKS JAY. I LIKE THE IDEA OF ONE PIECE AND THEN SHAPING IT INSTEAD OF A GLUE UP OF THE SIDES AND BACK. THANKS

That was a great idea and I can think of a number other sizes that would be useful for coffee and sugar! Well done.

Such a great project & I enjoyed that you stayed on point. Made it easy to watch.

So simple but rewarding and functional

This is a really great technique. And GREAT use of salvaged wood! Thanks for the video Jay.

Nice project Jay, Very simple and totally open to interpretation. Regards, Bob

Loving it! I have wood lathe, so I'd be inclined to take the inside block and turn a handle before gluing it back together. In fact, you might be able to turn the whole thing, and part it with the bandsaw to make 2 scoops.

Perfect combination of Music/talk! Excellent video!

I think you would have liked a spoke shaver for this project-unless you prefer to use planers and files. This is a cool project! Thanks for sharing!

Great project Jay! I love the way you salvage wood and make useful items. Thumbs up !

Really like the music and how you edited it in time (beat) with your workmanship.

Very nice work.

Thanks, these would be good gifts. Appreciate your salvage efforts also..

Thanks Rob. Free and good wood is everywhere.

I like this. Looks fun to do.

These are really cool man. I need to make one for scooping out and weighing grains. I do this for beer making quite often and a big scoop would come in handy! Thanks for the idea.

Excellent video production and quality. Very nice to watch!

Great project Jay, never would have thought of it either.

The extra long vise on the table is pretty slick.

BTW...Jay, you have come A LONG way! I started watching you when you made your first router table. I think it was made out of one of those cheap TV stands with the double glass doors on the front. You have become an amazing woodworker, and I enjoy the hell out of each video!! I wait for your video's to publish like I wait for my next ShopNotes magazine to come in the mail!

Very cool man. I appreciate the kind words.

Great work and good for you recycling lumber that was on its way to the dump!

The larger scoop would lend itself quiet well to being used as a dustpan I think, or if you made a bunch of these and cut off the back part that would make the handle with a sloping cut you could then screw and glue them to a board to act as bins for parts, you could add a French cleat to the back of the board to hang it on the wall system you already have in your shop!! : )

Good job. I can't wait to try. I did visit Patrick's channel and he does a great job also. Thanks for the ideas.

Awesome! This may be what I do first when I get a bandsaw.

Jay Bates I cut up the wood, glued it together, drew out the shape. Get to the band saw and start my cut when "pling" my blade broke, looks like it let go at the weld. So I ordered another blade. That is about the way the woodshop crumbles. :-) I will send a pick after I get it done.

I really like the way you made those scoops and the video, nicely edited and to the point. I noticed you had a orbital sander clamped up some how! I would watch a video on how that got out together.

Amazing skills! All from a headboard.

Top job. Going to have to try that.

Great video. Thanks for sharing (also to Patrick). I should try to make this. A smaller one though because of the capacity of my band saw.

Very inspiring! Your shop has to be the tidiest on KZread and your machines look immaculate. I like that. Cool logo too! Keep up the good work

Great work Jay! I really liked the scoops and will probably give it try shortly.

I've needed to make a scoop... now I just need to figure out how to make one since I don't have a bandsaw... I can make the side cuts with a table saw... I'm gonna have to cut the bottom portion off and glue it back on... no biggie. Thanks for the video and thanks to Patrick for the idea.

Love your videos Jay! Some great ideas, and easy enough for a beginner!

cool project and I love your T-shirt!

nice idea for creating a scoop. have to let you know as a classical music buff i really enjoyed the simple piano piece rather than the normal high energy noise on so many vids.

New subscriber here. Great idea! Thank you for sharing. I would've never thought of this either.

Love the scoops easily made another to add to my ever growing todo list for next xmas presents cheers love your vids.

Very shallow bandsaw blade recommended (as shown)! Try doing that with a 1/2" blade :( To speed-up handle shaping, you might want to try a Japanese shinto saw rasp -> fast material removal on coarse side. Alternatively try a bit of knife carving with a very sharp knife, e.g. with a Mora sloyd/woodcarving knife (such as the 106 or 120) or an American pocket knife. Or a chisel!

Thank you Jay, great video.

Nice technique! I'll give that a try. This is just a thought that occurred to me as I was watching and I think I'll do this when I have a bash at it: On the section you form into a handle, how about cutting an internal radius on the inner end so that the scoop forms a pleasing curve at the back rather than a right angle corner?

Nice work on the scoops young man.....

what a scooper idea
