Suggestion for the circle cutouts: My neighbor is a retired gentleman from the Ford motor company. He worked the assembly line. In his retirement he makes dozens of wooden vehicles (dump trucks, pick-ups, planes, bulldozers, fire trucks etc.) All have working parts and completely made from wood alone. He uses the cut outs for wheels. Come Christmas time he'll have made maybe 50 toys made from scraps and donates them to daycares, orphanages, Toys-4-Tots etc. so that underprivileged kids get something special and made with love. Now that my son is all grown up, I can't give up the trucks Bobby made for my boy. I have them displayed proudly in my workshop!

For the round cutouts, if you route the edges and put a dowel in it you have wooden tops. The dowel can be pointed with a pencil sharpener. You can also make yo-yos, feeder-rollers for your saws, drawer pulls, coathooks, furniture wheels, container stoppers, and if you put a wide rubber band on it and lazer engrave the sides they can be roller stamps for applying designs to your projects.

George Stevenson already mentioned "drum sanders" and I think that is a solution to another issue mentioned in this video itself: Lots of leftover round cutouts, hard to sand the inside of the round cutouts... just knock another 1/8" (or however thick your sandpaper is) off the outside of a couple of circles, bind them together with glue and/or dowels, glue some sandpaper around the outside, and you solved both problems at once. You could also round off and smooth out those leftover circles and bind them together to make a bar for paper towels or toilet paper (depending on the OD of the circle and the ID of the paper towel roll). Or to make any kind of roller you need around the shop or house. You can also bind 2 or 3 of those together and hard-mount them to anything with a backing fence and use them for bending metal scrollwork (you might not need more than 1 depending on how thick or tall your metal piece is). Or cut them in half so they have a flat bottom and use the round tops wherever you want to make some kind of scale or balancing decoration. Or turn that upside down and mount the flat part to anything you want to make into a rocking/seesaw motion.

Great design and that’s awesome that you’re getting so many orders for them! They look great! Have you considered making an American Flag version? I think you could pull it off and potentially charge more, depending on how much it adds to labor & materials. If nothing else, it could be a cool follow-up video to this one, which often helps boost your channel. Keep up the good work!

Awesome design. I'd suggest you make a glue up jig which keeps all the boards aligned for quick clamping after applying glue. It would look something like an rectangular feeding tray with both side ends panels removed.

Congrats. Coming up with nifty original ideas like that, that sell well, is the holy grail of woodworking.

Loved the stand. Put the rounds in a bag and sell them as a crafters bundle of wood rounds. I'm a crafter and I would see these as a fun challenge to use in craft projects.

In the springtime, I often make backyard versions of LCR and use my scrap pucks as the scoring chips. Great video and I love your design.

Clever item, love the way the sound travels out from the ‘speaker’ hole, genius! You could use the left over rounds, put a metal rod through centre hole (glue them together, sand n fill), for a bird table pole. 😊 Can you tell I don’t do much wood working😅, but I enjoyed watching a pro at work!

I was contemplating on what to make today, viola, your video popped up. I usually set my phone on my chop saw and bounce the sound off of the fence, this is a great idea, thanks. There's so many things to do with those round left overs, selling them in bundles would make many craters happy, for me i'm going to make drum sanders and sanding wheels, wooden turn knobs, maybe a few games and group some together for a tape dispenser.

Thanks for the heads up. I've actually been to Savannah once and it was absolutely beautiful down there. Try rolling pins, wheels for wooden cars or notch out teeth in your scrap circles for wooden gears to make for a childs toy

Nice project. As far the disk, use them for knobs for adjustable jigs or track clamps. You could use them for wheels on toys. Glue several together on a rod, wrap in sandpaper and make drum sanding unit. Or as stated, make tuits from them.

Nice job. The acoustic speaker idea should increease the volume in addition to projecting the sound. I have used offcut plugs as checkers on an oversize/outdoor chessboard and as throwing pieces for cornhole games. The hard disks increase the difficulty.

The wheel cutouts can also be used to make luthier clamps for glueing tops and bottoms onto the sides of stringed instruments builds

Great design I will definitely have to try these out. I have some cedar fence pickets left over from making Halloween lanterns to try it with.

This is a great project to batch out, hope you get many more sales, thanks for the instructional video

The circle cutouts can be used for various game pieces. The hole in the center can be ignored, or used for a dowel and a second layer. So it could be built up, or that can be a middle part too. Or just a feature for easy stacking, like if it were checkers pieces.

You can make knobs for jigs and shop fixtures. You need a small 5"x5" board with the same diameter hole as the round pcs you have, cut out of the center of the board. Next using a 3/8" to 1/2" drill bit, drill 4 holes evenly around the cutout in the board so half of the drill bit bites into wood and the other half of the bit is in the empty area of the cutout. Then place the round of wood into the cutout and drill into it with the corresponding drill bit you used,(3/8 or 1/2") into the holes already drilled out. They are now a guide for the drill bit placement to make each knob. It's a reusable jig for making that size knob. I usually use a bolt washer on top and the bottom of the knob. It's a good way to use them. Or you can glue several together on a long threaded rod. Once dry cut a line through them length-wise about halfway. Don't cut right to the bolt. Then cut a piece of sandpaper to fit around the wood cylinder, and tuck the ends into the slot. If they are tight in the slot great, but if they are loose, cut a piece of wood as a wedge into the slot to hold the ends in. Just cut it a little longer than the cylinder and flush with the sandpaper.

Very cool, will have to make one to see how they sound. On the round leftovers put the letters T U I T so they become Round Tuits!

These are pretty cool, I usedjust to make knick nack shelfs and hanging wall-art and stuff like that years ago from wood scraps I got out of the dumpster from a local furniture maker who would give me all the scrap wood I wanted just so they didn't have to pay for it to go to the landfill. I built my niece a Barbie doll house and my nephew a G.I. Joe Base all out of scrap wood. I have thought about getting back into it and doing it again.

Use those little circles for the center of wind chimes. Attach them to the longest sting on the wind chime. That piece is there to swing. Great job on the spreader boosters!

We've been doing similar with kitchen pans in the back of restaurants, stick the phone in the pan and it'll act as a speaker cool design though! I might have to try my hand at making one of these too, but I can think of a few changes I'd make for my phone specifically

This would make much more sense for the scraps I have than some of the all day cutting, sanding and glue up of one table. People just starting out with woodworking, especially selling their work would find this so much easier and less frustrating that building bigger items. Thanks

I’ve seen acoustic speakers like this in books and online, but this design seems a lot more practical since you don’t have to measure the phone so the slot is big enough. Would a Fornster (sp?) work as well as a hole saw? New subscriber here!

I installed a door deadbolt for a friend who had a small boy. He thought it was great I left him a round bale for his tractor and wagon.

Very clever turning it sideways, really nice elegant design! Thank you for sharing!

Idk if it has been mentioned yet, but you could make an epoxy table or something in that realm! Just an idea! Good luck and great work!

I'd use those wood circles along with resin for table tops. Fun project!

Not sure if anyone has already said it but that round pieces would make some pretty cool Christmas trees, pumpkins, even carrot shapes by putting them flat onto a board or canvas or something like that.

Just ordered two on Etsy I'm super excited. I'm a novice wood worker I can build large bulky things but I don't have the tools to do the more intricate cutting yet.

35 custom made units “by tomorrow”…make sure to jack up your prices to reflect their lack of foresight to plan ahead haha!

You can use the little round cut outs as a faux volume knob for the front maybe wood burn volume next to it with some lines and numbers. I like it nice work

I've made custom drawer knows with my circle cutouts a few times. Being able to see the screw head can make the furniture piece a little industrial.

I love this, simple and effecient, I hope to make one soon

Idea for circles. Cloth check board set. Use the circles as checkers. The hole in the middle can be used for a string or dowel. The cloth checker board to be wrapped around the checkers. Secured with string, strap, velcro. A little paint some cord and atoll of cloth that you could spray a checker pattern on. Not a bad idea even if you had to make the checkers.

Love the design, I use those circles to make wheels for toy trucks.

I am interested in learning about these. They look awesome and glad you've made them such good quality here. I would like to see the plans you have for them, please. I am not a long time watcher of the channel, perhaps I will be. If you own a lathe, dowel and glue to make table legs or a closet hanger rod perhaps? I enjoy seeing other people do different things like this. I may not be a good fit for your project, but I'd like to see about it. I'm not very seasoned yet in woodworking and the k.i.s. method you have here seems like a great idea and approach. Thank you!

The little circles can be used for violin building clamps or acoustic guitar building clamps. Add threaded rod, plastic hose and 2 wing nuts.

Sell the circle biscuits as sets of 4 or bulk order wheels after a sanding of course. If you see the rubbish pine with splits knots etc when you buy wooden wheels you will have no problems selling yours. I make wooden toys and can never be bothered to make wheels as too time consuming so just buy if I have a bulk order. Sure there are others in same boat. Keep up the great work

Very cool. Im just starting my wood work adventure and also looking for a simple gift build for our upcoming family Christmas. This may be perfect.

I have made a few Plinko boards and these scrap discs sawn in half would make great Plinko chips. Also, could be used as wheels for some wooden toys like cars or trucks.

This is great!! For those left over round pieces, what about drilling some holes in them for drill bits or screw driver bits?

I use the circles I have left from caulk tube racks and such for wooden knobs. I use the knobs on all kinds of various adjustable jigs, fences, etc.

The plugs make nice wheels for toy cars. Use a dowel as a axis. Glue more together for a large dowel or use the plugs for games like four in a row or tic tax toe. 👍🏻

You could sell those circles in packaged lots to crafters. They are constantly looking for wood items to complete their crafts. (Ie snowmen, wood eyes, etc) 😉🇨🇦

Use the cubes like mosaic pieces, embed them in epoxy. For counter tops or table tops, or chair seat and back panels. Mix and match colours.

Here are some uses for little wooden circles with holes in the middle. 1) Toy car wheels. 2) Luthier spool clamps. 3) Make a long cylinder to be used for sanding jigs.

So one thing you can use those discs for is legs for a tray that you might put a candle, a plant & a framed photograph. You might also make some wooden beads on jute with a tassel at the end. No one says the beads must be spherical. I think those disks would look great as a beaded garland.

Make a table top with the circles and resin. That would be awesome!!

Greetings from Australia. What a great design and well done. You make some really interesting pieces. Have subscribed and will watch more of your work. Regards One Handed Maker

Camber the edges of the circles, shove a rigid rod through the center and make table legs, cancel sticks... Use a hollow table and make a lamp. You can stain or paint the discs in different colors or shades for a fun twist.

For the wood cylinder cut outs I can’t really tell how big they are, but you could make coasters out of them. Just cut them down to coaster thickness. If they’re not wide enough to be normal coasters, you could just make them shot glass coasters.

I used to make mechanical puzzles I called "Fence Post Puzzles". Each puzzle used two round wooden wheels, a metal ring, a piece of rope, a small wooden base about 3 inches by 3 inches and a wooden "fence post" with a slot in the middle of it. I can send you a sketch of it if it would help you get rid of some of your scraps. Walt

Glue the circles together and use them for lathe stock. (ex Candle stick holders, 1 stem flower vase with test tube insert)

I recently done a job that left me a load of wooden circles just like yours I glued them together to the lengh of my choice sanded them and used them as legs for some side tables

Little circles could be used to make acoustic guitar clamps for gluing soundboards to the sides.

Great build. Would like to build some of these for my grandchildren so dimensions would be appreciated. New subscriber.

On your circles, I will run a quarter inch carriage bolt thru, then put a large washer and nut on the other side, then tighten the nut on the washer until the head of the bolt is pulled into the other side. Makes a fine, hand screw for certain projects. I use them to make a knock-apart table where I used these to tighten the legs to the table top.

cool design/build, the round parts can be wheels or pulleys or seam rollers

you can use the left over round pieces for a cutting board, just fill up an area with the rounds then cut to fill the other areas, then use resin to hold it all together.

Would it be worthwhile to put another 15* cut on the side as well as the bottom? If the cut is made on the "hole side", you could use it in the both horizontal position and the vertical position. It may have to have less than a 15* since it may be top heavy in the vertical position. Just a thought. Nice job!

Great project. Neat design. How much do you sell them for?

With the round bits,use some plastic in between so you've got 3 in a strip and do a light to match the speakers 👍 feel free for a cut lol

How about a circle table? I would make them two different stains! I'd put some epoxy in a cool color between. I'd make a couple of different color tables. Hope that helps.

with the roiund cutouts it could make a table top with resin. depending on the wood and grain could look quite good.

Another idea for the circles would be to stack and glue into a cylinder and lathe them into candle stick holders, kind of outdated, but maybe.

Paint the circles, pastel colors and thread them on a ribbon and hang them as a garland. They look like the old time candy necklaces.

I would suggest making a mirrored version of this for the people that have the volume controls on the right side of the phone. Then they would be able to access the controls when it is on the stand.

The holes can be used as blanks for painting ornaments or as a base or stand for a tiny tree or other items. My wife paints on them all the time. Doug

For circle parts, glue them together, stick a sand paper to them and attach to a drill press.

Okay... the first one is glued up. Even in clamps, I could tell a difference in the sound! A bit tinny though. What do you think about adding a small felt circle in the back? BTW.. GREAT plans. Easy to read and understand. Nicely done and well worth the $$!

Comment on circles, you could turn them into dowels for towel or blanket ladders. That is first idea I might come up with some later... like making them into candle stick holders for smaller candles...

Great video! A suggestion for the cut outs... look into wooden toy food. Those could be little cookies (puddy the hole).

Great video and great build. I live in Bloomingdale not far from Savannah and I dabble in woodworking. I have the same tablesaw as you. Its great seeing someone locale on the old KZhome. Take xare.

I noticed a comment that suggested toy car wheels for your circle cut outs. You could also make them into knobs for jig making, sell them by the dozen pack. Just add the 1/4-20 bolt.

Fun! Thanks for the video. And I figure someone has said it, but why not use a jig/fence for the cutouts on the bandsaw?

Would love to make these. Thank you for showing

Oooo, I love this idea. Well done on the design, sir.

The circle cutouts are perfect for Spool Clamps.

Those little circles make great wheels for custom wood toys like cars and trucks. Or you can glue and stack them to make a block for turning trees on a lathe with one circle as the base.

With the circle scraps, you can make connect 4 games, mini shuffle boards, plinko, pedestals for models, wheels for cars, pulleys....

Since your rounds already has a hole in the center for an axle rod, why not stack and glue them and turn them into rolling pins. You could even make some more out of other species for contrast.

You could make the flat area longer for a lap desk setup for taking notes or sketching/drawing while watching videos.

Great idea, I need to make these! Just subscribed!

You could use the circles to make a giant sized checkers and build a checker table to match.

You could use those cutoff circles as wheels for kids to make little cars or trucks. Actually made a semi truck and trailer cribbage board in middle school.

Not that you would need a million of them, but I would use the circles as a paint finishing point with a screw through the middle. so you could paint both sides by setting on the points

Wood circle cutout idea. Put a wooden dowel through them and glue them up in different lengths and put them up for sale as small lathe blanks.

For the cut out rounds, you can glue them up, and turn them on a lathe

The circles could be sold to insulation companies for exterior plugs when they blow in insulation thru wood siding

Great job. How do I get the plans and how much do you sell them for?

Your dry humor and relatability earned my sub. Looking forward to deep diving all your vids. Keep up the good work!

Those little 'circles' can be used as wheels on wooden train sets :-)

I have similar "circles" as a by-product & i list them on eBay as wheels

Those circles could be stained different colors then use them for a table top. Resin would make it real cool.

You could make a table with a checker board paint your pucks red and black. Maybe put a small pin in the center so they stay together when they are crowned.

Hello 👋 Ref pucks: You could put them “vertical’ glue and run a lightweight rod through the middle and create, hiking, walking 🦯 sticks and sell them at your local market as rustic wood walking poles !! Make sure that they can “unscrew” in the middle so that it can easily be put in back pack. If my idea is a winner - I would like one as a thank you as I am big on hiking 🥾 Send to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thanks 🙏 James ✌🏾 Take care and safe safe and warm 🥶😷 🎄🎅

Really love the idea and your video. This gives me some ideas. Do you mind if I try something based off this?

My grandson is a self taught woodworker. He was asking me for suggestions, and I turned to KZhome and found your channel. I’m now a subscriber. I think your phone box is brilliant! May he get your permission to make these to sell? He would be using inlaid patterns he likes to make, but he would acknowledge your design, of course! Thanks in advance for your time and for your design skills!
