Those sticks look pretty straight. Seems a waste using for a coaster when they might be better for arrows, eh? So, y'all still getting the heat? We've finally cooled down a bit here in Missouri. Had some days in the mid 50f. Going back to 80f and then cooling down again. Already got snow coming down from central western Canada into the northern states. Looks like we might get our normal winter here with 3-4ft of snow and windchill night time temps into the -25f. Perfect weather for some camping where no one else will be out there let alone any preditors.

Hey, pard. This is a cool idea. We don't have much hazel in this area, but we have a plethora of other species of tree. Green hedgewood or briar would work nicely, as well as hickory or oak. When you're measuring the point where the holes should be drilled, I'd use a straight edge given the slightly uneven length of the dowels. Mark holes along straight edge line on dowels, at marginal 13mm distance from edges. The centered appearance will appeal to the practical aesthetic. Rolling it up for east transport is a cool option.

Love the shed sunday vids. =) This is an awesome Dad n child project for a holiday gift. While watching, I was thinking of maybe making bigger ones to sit hot pots on from the stove or sit hot bowls on at the table. And Maybe they could be painted or stained to match the color of the kitchen or dinning room. would make a wonderful gift set for a family member. =) You can take the Teacher out of the classroom but you cant take the Teacher out of the man. =) Its awesome that you still think of things for children, Mike.

I've discovered that I can like your videos, twice. Not sure how this works, but I can watch and like on my phone. And then watch and like on my laptop Just a heads up on a way to game the system. And help out Mike and TA Outdoors in the process. Thought I would share. Good stuff. Might I suggest a Sail needle and some medium weight twine, sisal, hemp, etc for drawing the sticks together. Just a thought. Will make one using said method and post a link.

Oh wow, purists are going to be all over you for using a drill and calling it bushcraft. Don't worry though. The rest of us still appreciate this interesting video. I certainly enjoyed it. I might try try it and use the awl on my pocket knife for the holes, or maybe my Dremel attachment that turns the Dremel into a drill press. The awl would come in handy to get the cord through too.

Would your Bahco Laplander saw make fewer splinters on the ends? Could you measure for the holes, front and back, and then drill part way on one side and the rest of the way from the other side? For sure, this is a great outdoor project for savvy children to use to learn sawing, sanding, drilling, measuring and cordage skills.

Wouldn't the condensation that forms on the outside of the glass just slip between the sticks and leave a water stain on the table anyway? Why not just take a 4 or 5 diameter log and cut it into 1/2 thick disks? You'd get a lot more coasters for less work, they'd have a similar aesthetic, and they'd work better.

A potato peeler is perfect for stripping the bark off: ) Also with regards to drilling a clean hole through the twig; If you drill right through with a pin drill bit(Just a very thin drill bit, then drill through about half way from each end with a thicker drill bit to prevent splitting. Great video Mike

Just found your videos and a question rose straight away. Now I know you've probably answered this before but why do you translate your title and description to russian? Are you like learning it or just using google (which would explain why it's not that great)

If you dimple the point you're going to drill (both sides) with a 7mm bit, then grab your 4mm and 6mm drill to go through, that should eliminate your tear out. If your material was flat, you could use a backer board to support the material being drilled.
