Jon, I agree, Vermont is a great place. I am a Rhode Islander and love it here but also love all 3 northern New England states. Thanks for the video showing how easy it is to make those spoons. That will be an "after Holidays" project.
Hey guys, and this is a pretty fun and simple scrap wood project and the patterns are available on my website: jonpeters.com/make-a-wooden-kitchen-spoon-free-design-plans/ Be sure to check out our new "Make It In Vermont" merchandise: teespring.com/stores/make-it-in-vermont Thanks for watching, Jon
Nice pattern John. I have made similar tools and find it helpful to raise the grain with water and then sand it back before finishing. This keeps the wood smooth after it is inevitably washed and cleaned.
Very helpful, thanks! I always have difficulty getting my spatulas symmetric, the trick at 0:41 seems really helpful with that. Can't believe I never thought of doing it like that.
Thanks for the patterns and good luck with your Vermont venture! As a newly retired IT guy, I never imagined becoming a woodworker, so TH-cam has been my "classroom". I really appreciate the thought you put into explanations of what/why/how you do the various things you do. BTW, nice logo - I'll be buying one of those T shirts for sure!!
This isn't for Jon, but for the casual observer that might wonder what a four or five quarter board is. One inch thick boards are 4/4 (four quarter). 5/4 boards are 1 1/4" thick, nominal size. It goes on to 6/4, 7/4, 8/4, etc. It's a reference to how many quarters of an inch in thickness a piece of lumber is. You'll most likely run into this jargon when dealing directly with either a sawyer or a mill. It's easy enough to become confused about it if you're not already familiar.
That's a nice design. By the way, sanding the shape often results in a surface that eventually turns fuzzy. However, if you shape with a sharp blade, this is greatly reduce.
Very cool Jon. I’ve been following your channel for several months now. I love the variety in content you’re providing. My wife and I are moving into a larger home next month with a space large enough for my own shop. I intend to use several of your provided plans to make furniture and other items for the new place. Thanks for all you’re doing and I look forward to 2019 to see what’s in the pipeline. Happy holidays!
I made, what I think, is a very pretty one out of Cherry. Turned out well. Now, my bride would like to know what to use it for! She likes it, she just hasn't found a use for it--sadly!
Hi Jon, I like the spatula, sometime, when you are stuck for an idea for a video, could you do one on "food safe" finishes? If you haven't already. I've been watching for a very long time, but I don't remember one.
Hi Jon. you've been an inspiration for many of my projects and home upgrades over the years. Thanks for the great videos and good luck in Vermont. If you're ever over in New Hampshire, swing by for a visit. Todd.
Happen to notice that you make no mention of "wetting" your spatula and sanding before you apply the final oil finish as the wetting would raise the grain and one could sand them smooth. I usually do this three times before I even apply a food safe oil.
Great video Jon. Where is a good place to source wood blanks in this dimension and larger for projects like this. Looking for suggestions mostly internet, unless there is somewhere I can drive to around southern MS. Thank so much. Soli Deo Glroia
Just a comment. Any time I make something like that for the kitchen, I wet it down good, let it down and sand it again. Raises the grain and removes it so it's less likely to do it later when washed.
Love the dragonfly apron, but unfortunately the customs charges a punishment for goods from the United States. And with shipping costs, it will be over twice as expensive. But cheap rattle from China, next to free in shipping and no duty charge. Understand who can !!!

Awesome...thanks Ron
I like the simple spatula design. This is one of the easiest ways I've seen to do this. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Bruce!
Thanks so much for the info and the design! enjoyed the video

Great show
Great video Jon. I always enjoy your approach, your explanation and professionalism. Soli Deo Gloria.
great gift idea, brotha! i love using those because they wont melt in a hot pan, and they look awesome kinda!
The spatulas get a ton of use in our kitchen.
That's a nice design. By the way, sanding the shape often results in a surface that eventually turns fuzzy. However, if you shape with a sharp blade, this is greatly reduce.
Good luck with the Vermont venture Jon. I'll be looking forward to watching whatever you do. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks Bill
Thank you. Just great stuff.

GREAT XMASS GIFT
THANKS YOU
Thanks
that spatula plan is very interesting i may give that a try, very good video, also the one on the lazy susan
Thanks
excellent jon
Thanks for the spatula tutorial, Jon.
Thanks Steve...fun little project
Great plans Jon, made two of these today out of Huon pine. Used a mineral oil and wax mix to coat.
That's awesome Terry.
thank you for the pattern, I am working on it now! I will also be laser engraving on it my wife's name and the word kitchen after that.
This is what i wanted to do for gifts! Thank you for the tutorial
See you in Vermont
Awesome stuff Jon! 👍🏻👊🏻
Nice work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I made, what I think, is a very pretty one out of Cherry. Turned out well. Now, my bride would like to know what to use it for! She likes it, she just hasn't found a use for it--sadly!
Great Idea! I'm going to give one a try
Never thought of turning the belt sander upside down to sand. I'm "stealing" that idea.
good
You look like the Mandalorian without his helmet on. Nice work!
Thanks! Isn't 1 inch 4 quarter, not 5 quarters?
hello Jon although here in Italy are 04.00 of the night, Shared the same 😂😂😂😂😂

Good idea thanks ED... I really like the one I used on this project from So-cal wood shop
Thank. 😊😊😊
NICE 👍🔨

Thanks, I might use a knife instead of the sander
Great video Jon. Where is a good place to source wood blanks in this dimension and larger for projects like this. Looking for suggestions mostly internet, unless there is somewhere I can drive to around southern MS. Thank so much. Soli Deo Glroia
Great design there. Would any wood be good for this project? I'm concerned about the wood being in contact with food.
Where do you buy that shade of green for your shop?
Just a comment. Any time I make something like that for the kitchen, I wet it down good, let it down and sand it again. Raises the grain and removes it so it's less likely to do it later when washed.
Good idea John
I need to make a small tool from wood how can I ask your advise on how to ?
I don't have a band saw, think it's worth a try with a jigsaw?
Sure, you can make cut the shape of out and do the rest of the work with a corse grit on the belt sander.
@@JonPetersArtHome great, I will give it a try, thanks for the quick response.
Price?
hi really am enjoying your videos. Do you think Pine would work for these spatulas
Thanks... pine is a little soft but should still be okay
I like the size of the logo. I wouldn't make it significantly smaller.
Thanks Magnus
Hi Jon. I am going to make these for christmas gifts this year. What size is the blade you are using on your bandsaw?
Nice! 1/4”
@@JonPetersArtHome thank you. Okay I will get a smaller blade.
You could use mineral oil to finish them.
I cannot find the free pattern for making a spatula
What kind of food safe stain did you use?
I used Board Wax from SoCal Woodshop...works great: socalwoodshop.com/shop/
👍👍👍👍👍
It is a hotel name in Makka i
I’ve been trying to order some boardwax for a week but the website is down or something. 🤨
🤷♂️ not sure why… not my site
What belt sander is that? Thanks!
Bosch
@@fartzinacan thank you.
nice spoons unless your on the end of one from a mad Irish mammy
Ha!
You're not wearing a button-up shirt - must be an impostor!
Ha! The new VT t shirt is very comfortable
Love the vid and idea. Hopefully your wife isn't a sub
Ha....She's not!
