DIY Wooden Coffee Mug Scraps Tutorials

In this application we will show you how you can build a cool functional wooden mug from the scrap hardwood you have laying around from other projects.

Step 1: Collect Hardwood

Find as much scrap hardwood as you need. we like to go to local shops and schools and just ask for their leftovers. we usually get enough to make around ten mugs at a time.

Step 2: Wood Prep

cutting the blanks put a 12 degree chamfer on both sides perpendicular to each other using a table saw or band saw. The drawing included is a profile view of the grog blanks. 15 blanks with matching 12 degree chamfers will make a complete 360 degree cup.

Step 3: Next Glue Up

Using Titebond 3 (waterproof just in case) Lay out your blanks on some masking or painter tape. Apply glue in all the joints. Roll the parts together till they make a circle and apply many. many, many rubber bands. Allow to dry overnight.

Step 4: Sanding

After all parts are dry its time to sand. You do not need to round your tankard but we tend to always on mine. Using a belt sander and hand sandpaper we smooth out the diameter to what we like.

Step 5: Bottoms Up!

Glue up some smaller pieces to make a flat bottom. Trim them roughly to the size of your mug and glue and clamp. The oh yeah more sanding.

Step 6: Get a Grip! I Mean Make a Handle

we cut my handle shapes out of a large piece of scrap wood. Then we shape and sand it the way we like. Once we get it how we want it we tape sand paper onto my grog and sand the curve of the cup on the the handle where it attaches. This ensures a tight fit. we glue the handle on with two part epoxy and some rubber bands.
