I first watched this in 2018 and before I had ever made a tray. After watching 3 times and seeing the wonderful reaction from his mother, I made one as a test unit, gave it to a dear friend as a gift and she loved it. Then made a tray with all the different colors as a memorial to our daughter who we lost to cancer. Since that time I have made many trays in this style and different styles. Some were gifts, some sold, but it was this video that taught me and pushed me on to make them and increase my woodworking abilities. Thank you so much Michael.
The real gift is the smile her face when she opened the gift... I do hope you continue making her smile every chance you get because there nothing prettier than a happy mother... Piece and love from the middle east
I loved the end of the video. So cute with your mother saying thank you. That comment made the made the serving tray project so rewarding. Great serving tray too! I am going to make a similar project for my sister!
Thank you for the inspiration! Friends of mine are getting married this fall and I’ve been researching what to make them. This with a live edge cheese platter will be perfect gifts. Again, thanks.
Awesome colours - Love it! Just a tip - when making the handle - drill the 2 far sides with the forstner bits then use a jigsaw and finish up with some sanding - will be much faster!
What a coincidence! Its Mom's birthday this month. Let me try to make one for her. I only have circular saw and jig saw. Still I am gonna try this. I will let you know status. Thanks for the video Michael.😇
Looks fantastic! Love the tip of sticking two pieces together to create identical ends. I’ve had that challenge before and did it the hard way. Precious moment at the end, thanks for sharing that!!
@@donmolinari7476 because there’s a chance of it being around food, I typically use a cutting board oil and finish with a coat of wax. But pretty much once any finish cures, it’s food safe.
Great Video. I enjoyed watching the entire process... building, editing, and music. Beautiful piece of art and great design. Keep up the Great videos!!!
This is sooo sime and elegant. I would use this, but make the depth about 1/4 inch more. Maybe some old beer bottle caps or wine cork in resin... But really nice work.
I finally made a set of plans for this project!! www.almfab.com/store/p/sunsetservingtray

Awesome! good luck!
The unboxing at the end was a great touch
That is really beautiful! Now I have a use for my oak and black walnut scraps.
the end put a real smile on my face, great stuff.
Very nice work, and hard to believe it was pallet wood to start. Great finish too! Thanks for sharing.
NOT pallet wood, but it was scrap (leftover) wood from his other projects (note colors)
Very nicely done. I really like that you included the giving of the gift.
Nice work :)
I love these videos where not much is talked!
Thanks for the Video.
Great build. You've just inspired me to go out to my cold workshop and start something.
Jeff, it made my day to hear that!
Well done, sir! It was beautiful work. A treasure for generations!
Awesome colours - Love it!
Just a tip - when making the handle - drill the 2 far sides with the forstner bits then use a jigsaw and finish up with some sanding - will be much faster!
Very nice. I am planning on making a few like this for upcomings weddings in my family. This gives me some ideas.
- Mike, thanx 4 another beautifully done piece.
Não é somente uma bandeja e sim uma arte. Parabéns
