The best man at our wedding, and longtime friend of my husband, gave us one of these for our wedding gift in 1987. It was made by his father, who actually made the blocks by hand. It was a beautiful piece !!… just gorgeous!!!

thanks so much!!. If you can't get the bottom to be flat to attach the feet- I'd maybe make a square out of jenga blocks - 2 block x 2 blocks x 2 blocks x 2 blocks- and "rest the bowl" on top of it - that might work better for you. Hope that helps!!! Thanks for watching!!❤😀

P.S.S. I have Gorilla Wood Glue. I like using it because it doesn't require much to get a strong and lasting bond.

Miss Lady I totally love your attitude! Plus you are hilarious (don't know if you knew that, but it is so true)! I loved the bowl you made last time so much that I've made two so far.... Now I'm all tuned in on this one and can't wait to get started! This is a beautiful masterpiece!! And omg I see what you meant last time about staining all those blocks so I think I found my groove with my stain.... a cardboard box/tray and a foam brush! I was able to hold approx 7 blocks in a row at a time and basically semi-drench them on all sides. It was still some work, but much easier and not so messy. And btw, I love the titebond lll wood glue and most recently the DAP Rapid Fuse super glue! Omg, you have to try it....a few seconds and EVERYTHING IS STUCK TOGETHER!

Hi, love your channel and the crafts you do. Can you tell me how much coffee and water you used to get the stain you show? I soaked my blocks in a coffee and water solution but when dried they are only slightly stained, how do I get a deeper color like yours? I’m currently soaking them again to see if that helps.

@MedicatedHousewifeDIYs

2 жыл бұрын

Hi! I think it depends on what coffee you are using- but honestly I use practically half a large jar of the instant coffee in a big bowl of water and I usually let them soak for at least 24 hours- the key is more coffee (and time)- the darker the blocks should get. Just remember that they will get lighter when they dry, so if the color is good while they are soaking, maybe leave it longer to get the color deeper. I hope that helps! ❤️

Has anyone used hot glue as a secondary glue to the wood glue and if so did anyone have any difficulties with it staying glue long term?

@MedicatedHousewifeDIYs

Жыл бұрын

I think it'd be fine to use the hot glue in addition to the wood glue. But the wood glue is what will give it the long term hold- without that , the hot glue pieces would snap right off. So I'd recommend either only wood glue- or wood glue plus a tiny bit of hot glue -just to keep things in place short term.- Hope that helps!😃
