Making a Wooden Platter/Plate
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- During a pub meal earlier this year, my sister's burger arrived on an intriguing 'square plate' made out of wood and I immediately received a request to make one! This was completed in time for my mother's birthday and it's made from a single board of American cherry.
...What I don't mention in the video is that we also returned to that same pub on several occasions 'to take further measurements'... And if course, to try their deserts!! ;-)

Olly,
I noticed there is a grey plastic container by your workbench. I was wondering if that was a Ryobi kit. It looks like the one I have? Nice video by the way, you never cease to amaze me.
Marty
Thanks, John! That's interesting to know.
thank you for get back to me I like your show hope to see a lot more
where are you from
Great, wondered why you would cut into strips and glue it again? You said it’s more secure?
Hi Kathryn,
I felt it would be more stable, less likely to cup or warp. A flat wide board would be more prone to distorting and no longer sitting flat.
Thanks for watching and for your comment.
你的工具不错
Thank you! :-)
hey, What did you use to give it a finish ?
Hi, it was sold in the UK as a 'food safe finish' but it's essentially light mineral oil and is definitely food safe. Tung oil is also food safe but tends to darken lighter woods.
This is lovely but why use a router instead of hand carving? ❤
I didn't have many carving tools and would've felt intimidated at the prospect of working such a large area. I liked the idea of using a router and already had the kit.
Thanks for watching.
Which router bit would you recommend to carve out the actual bowl if I only have a fixed router. Great video
@Juan Iracheta In the UK, we have 'surfacing' cutters - though I'm not sure what they may be called elsewhere. Ideally, you would want the largest radius cutter , to ensure a cleaner finish and also, to reduce the time spent machine. Thank you, I'm glad you liked my video and I hope this helps. :-)
Really nice end result! For the next one, maybe run a dado through from one side to the other then add / glue two remaining side pieces. For the bottom...I don't know...maybe find a 10" forstner bit! Haha!! Seriously, great effort and nice piece!
+woodstoney Thank you very much! :-) Yes, I'd definitely look to do it another way next time... Your suggesting is a perfectly valid one and I know there are multiple ways it could be done (even without a CNC). I'm glad you like it as it's become one of my most successful videos.
Nice project, you must have great patience to do all that routing! And it must have made a lot of chips. I really like the way you left the island in the middle.
Thank you very much, John.
Yes, it certainly took a long time and created a lot of mess... Followed by all the work necessary to tidy it up. ;-)
Leaving the island in the centre was an example of thinking ahead; without it, my task would've been much harder.
Thanks for watching.

Beautiful work. Only thing I noticed was when you were plunging you were routing counterclockwise on the inside of your workpiece. I’m assuming you felt the edge guide want to steer into you. When routing outside of the piece counterclockwise... when inside clockwise.
Thank you and you are correct. I would only have done this if I was concerned about chipping and breakout when cutting across the grain.
Thanks for your conment and for watching.
Hi Marty and thank you.
Yes it is indeed; the five power tools in one. But I recently sold it as I wasn't using it (I only took it off my dad's hands to stop him throwing it in a skip).
Very nice!
what is the oil that you use ? coconut oil or olives oil or what ?
It might be known as light mineral oil. Apparently you can buy something similar from a pharmacy.
Alternatively, Tung Oil is food-safe but will also darken the timber.
After seeing the amount of work routing I think I’ll make a picture frame with rounded corners and glue that to a thick base.
Good luck with your project and thanks for both watching and your comment. One thing to consider if using a solid wood base is that it will want ti expand and contract across its width, where as the frame on top will not.
All the best.
That's brilliant hand made, with lots of love, work there! Very well done and lucky mum :)
Thank you very much indeed! She was very grateful and I'd love to make some more when the time is right.
Looks great. What type of oil did you use for the finish?
Thank you, Joel! It was a food-safe finishing oil from Chestnut Products. I think it's a light mineral oil.
Great project Olly.....and ANYTHING to do with food is a winner in my eyes ......lol
Take care
Mike
Belt sander clamped horizontally = 👏👏👏
To be honest, I first saw this idea in another TH-cam video. ;-) Thanks for watching and I hope it works well for you.
I like your jointer,,may I ask what kind is it
Hi Jeff,
From memory I think it's the Axminster CT150. I bought it used for a very good price. Had to replace the starter switch but otherwise it's great.
Thanks for watching and I hope this helps.
Nice control of the radial arm saw there Olly. Well put together with lots of tips. Thanks.
You've inspired me to have a go myself, ready for our wedding anniversary.
+Paul Tulk Thank you, Paul, that's great to hear! I hope you'll be able to share the results.
I wanted to make a slim pen drawer with the same method but I thought it was silly. Thanks for showing me it's not that silly :D
You're very welcome, George. I hope your project goes well. All the best.
Thanks for the inspiring work you’ve done. Greet plate!
Thank you very much, Martijn! All the best.
Se ve fácil hacer ese plato de madera, trataré de hacerlo algún día.
Thank you and I wish you well with it. :-)
How did you attach your router to the plexi glass? Thanks!
meredith moran I'm pretty sure I drilled a hole in the plexiglass that was the same diameter as my guide bush and that was all it needed. In the past, I would remove the plastic plate underneath the router and screw it on directly. But using the guide bush is much quicker and simpler. ;-)
The board of cherry I used here came from Yandles in Somerset. I use Interesting Timbers (north of Wells) for native hardwoods and Oscar Windebank (over in Box) for others. I have a couple of local timber merchants for the supply of reasonable softwood.
Where are you based, Steve?
Thanks for subscribing, too.
nice one olly ,great for finger food ,just the right size for pizza mmmmm thanks for that ,now im hungry lol lol lol .....dougie
Thank you! It's a Startrite 401e with 16in wheels. I should probably do a video on it some time...
This could be the start of a full dinner service, just eleven more to make! I'll bet that American cherry isn't cheap?
Haha, thanks Wilf! I am thinking of making another for my own use, because mum's still 'afraid' to get this one dirty!
American cherry is dearer than English oak. I think that one board (approx. 5ft x 8in x 1in) was almost £12 + VAT (I payed slightly less with the show discount though).
Good video, Olly. Which bandsaw do you have?
What food safe oil did u use?
It was made by a company called Chestnut in the UK.
Hi Donald, it's a Startrite 401e. Thanks for your comment.
Спасибо! Это североамериканских вишня.
[Thank you! It's North American cherry.]
Hi Olly
Nice video, easy to watch and understand, well done lets have more

Thank you for the upload!
Very nice piece of work!!!
Thank you very much! It's so nice, my mum has never used it! ;-)
What router bit u used
Hi James,
In the UK, it's referred to as a 'core box' cutter. Similar to a straight cutter but with a rounded end.
I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Olly
Olly Parry-Jones thanks and it does and your welcome
