Hallo, Mein Name ist Norbert, Ich finde Sie als eine absolute Power Frau im Schreiner-Handwerk, Sie stellen so viele "genaue Dinge aus Holz her", das ist einfach "Klasse"! Alle Achtung für Ihr Handwerkliches können. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Germeny
Marie- Thanks for the recipe book/tablet holder design. I actually made a walnut face frame around mine and I am waiting for a template to inlay a ❤ in the middle of the maple. I thought it might make it a little cooler when it is empty. Another idea I had was to install a small fit up clock where you have your hole in the handle, but most tablets show the digital time. Hope you have a great holiday! Jim and his sidekick Booker-
What got me to click on your video was seeing Montreal in the name. I grew up in N.D.G I absolutely love the cookbook stand and it's nice to see a woman doing this stuff. It gives me the inspiration to do it myself.
Great ideas. Thanks for all you do. I made the cookbook holder this week. Came out great. Used solid cherry for backing and maple for the stand. I did change one dimension from your plans. While the foot on the stand is sufficient for an iPad, it is not deep enough for my wife's thicker cookbooks. For example, her Betty Crocker cookbook is two inches thick. So I made the foot of the stand larger to accommodate people who cook old school style. Thanks again!
Marie, votre planche à découper/lutrin pour tablette sera u succès dans notre famille. Un superbe projet pour ma petite gille de13 ans. Mille mercis et Joyeux Noël. 🎅
Every time I watch one of your videos where you include that flip top cabinet for your DeWalt planer, I smile. I built mine EXACTLY like you did yours (according to your build video) and it is the best shop accessory I have. Thank You! Do you think your laser engraver was a good purchase? It's rather expensive and I wanted to hear your comments on it before taking your advice on buying it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Love thay flip top it's served me well! As for the laser engraver, I'm still just figuring out how to use it and barely scratching the surface with what it can do. So it's too soon to tell if it's worth it, but I hope so!
WHAT!!! People in Canada drink Corona, very surprising. Thank you for the Timely Christmas projects. I made my sister your Christmas tree cutting board and she loves it.
I made the iPad stand for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! My modification was to use dowels for the supports and incorporate holders on the back so it could all be kept together when stored . Thanks for some great ideas!!
Thank you for sharing. I made several recipe book stands as gifts this Xmas, and everyone loved them. Maple and Walnut are exotic here in Australia - so even more impressive result! Love the channel!
Thank you for an inspirational video. I like the way you present your videos, fast enough to not waste time on monotonous stuff, yet slow enough to get a good hang of it. Thank a lot for the templates and other stuff you provided. Keep on the good work!
I’ve watched your videos pretty much since you started. Shop has come a long way. Your router table video inspired me to build one. It’s one of my prize tools. Also did 3 baguette slicers and 10 of the 3 in 1 bottle openers. Enjoy all your videos, well done.
Thank you! These are all amazing and great gift ideas. I even thought about how the cut-off corners from the light tower could be business card holders. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for using powertools and not making a big deal about it as the other feamle " carpenters" do. Love your ideas and how you present the videos. Keep it up!!
Ha! Just when I thought you would go for the Jig Saw, to cut the slot on the cutting board; you use a Router. But you did a great job... I am trying to make something similar, but not sure if I can finish in time for Christmas.
Thanks so much for the iPad/Cookbook Stand. I was able to make one exactly like your (sort-of) for my wife for Christmas. She loved it and the Maple/Walnut blend was really awesome! Thanks so much!
@@Chris_PerthWA mine is not perfectly to her dimensions, but the bottom slot is about 2” from the bottom of the maple cutting board. I was using a walnut panel that I had glued up months ago for another project to fit the slot for the iPad base. If I could figure out how to upload a picture here, I would.
Thanks for another year with great gift ideas. Looooove the bookmarks. I've got to make a set for my sister. She loves to read. With traditional books even. I know, what a novel idea, huh? 😉
I don't have a bandsaw for doing the ornaments due to price & and space, but I did pick up a used scroll saw that I make a lot of little thinner ornaments with.
I am so jealous of your shop and I can’t image how you could make anything in it and still have it so clean. Thanks for the gift ideas. The headline that caught my eye was about the laser purchase. I think if I had seen it before I bought my first laser I may have thought twice. Right now I’m at the stage where it is assemble but not yet vented and i’m procrastinating learning Lightburn. Here it is September and I have no idea where to start to stock up for Christmas sales. As a fellow Canadian I had sticker shock as I was gathering up all the accessories and everything. Then there are the materials. I tried to place an order for some aluminum coloured sign blanks. I’m adding things to my cart that seemed to be reasonably priced and easy to engrave on the laser. The total was $280 which didn’t seem bad for the things I wanted. Sipping was free in the US but $183 to Canada. Then of course I needed to convert to US dollars so suddenly the price wasn’t so reasonable anymore.
Really enjoy your videos and plans. The hardwax oil you use on the recipe stand. Can you tell us more about projects you use hardwax oil on vs poly or marine varnish and why.
@@DIYMontreal love from Burlington Ontario. Also the iPad/book stand looks great and I see elements of your standing desk project from previous video 🙂
I had so much fun making last year's holiday gifts. Bummer that I can't do these this year since I'm away from my wood shop. Happy Holidays. Yes ... your band saw skills are very good. Cook book stand is my favorite, #2 is the cube lamp. The coasters are a good project for a 1st time epoxy user. Aloha
Thank you. Some good ideas to play with. Especially like the tablet/book stand. Think I'll try that one and maybe add a little resin for the handle side. Keep up the fun videos.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. First gift : baguette miter-box. I really like how you make a list of used tools, etc. for each separate project. Happy Holidays, stay healthy and keep making videos at your own pace. I'm always enjoying them.
Hi Marie. I'm new to your channel and love it so far! I, personally, would drill a hole in the cookbook holder shelf piece that is behind the upright piece, matching the hole in the standing piece, so that they both may be hung on the kitchen wall together. Thanks....
As usual Marie your Woodworking Gifts video at this time of year was brilliant, all those ideas were just amazing to see getting made, i think the Cookbook/IPad stand was my favourite but i do love them all. I hope you do more of these gift ideas videos when it gets nearer to Christmas. Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)
Don't know if it was recommended, but what about putting magnets on the back of the boards for the cookbook/iPad holder. Then you can dissemble the two pieces and put them back to back for a small storage footprint.
First video of yours I have seen, and I love it! I will subscribe and probably binge watch several at a time. Thanks for the thought and effort put into it!
One more tip that makes life so much easier. White vinegar removes glue residue. If you've wiped most of the glue off at the beginning, there shouldn't be much left. However, if you wipe the whole piece down with white vinegar, you'll see any residue left over. As you know, those residue marks show up like a beacon once you put the finish on, and then you're down to sanding off not only the finish, but the glue residue. With white vinegar, all you have to do is dampen the spots, wait until it starts to become opaque (if it's thick) or simply scrub thin spots until the glue comes out. It will actually pull the residue out of your wood completely without raising the grain. For thick spots, you can easily scrape them off and then repeat to get rid of anything left in the wood. Now, BE CAREFUL on joints. If you flood the joints with too much vinegar (some folks flood the whole thing, yikes), it could very easily take apart your joint since it will seep below the surface. Better to pat, let it sit, rub or scrape, and repeat until it's gone. I volunteer as a supervisor in a 50+ woodshop and we have a jug of white vinegar specifically for this purpose. Works great and saves a LOT of sanding as well as a lot of "Doh!" later.
Thanks for another great video. Lots of fantastic tips as well I am definitely going to get a box of straws to remove the squeeze out glue. What a great idea. Merry Christmas
Congratulations, some really good ones this year. some random comments ... I'm the only one in my house that cats baguettes at an angle.. We want Princess Auto in the UK ! The coasters white resin looks just like Kendal Mint Cake.
I’d love to try making the tower lamp. Looks very cool! Has it stayed together? What did you use for the glue? Looks like you might have to be careful with it if moving it around.
(Havent finished the video yet), but I am definitely giving that straw trick a shot... If that works as well as it appears to have done so on camera... Well, I'll be embarrassed having never known that. 😂 Cheers!

I love the detailed explanations on how to make all of your different items!
I'm always amazed how different wood workers accomplish similar outcomes with various tools.
Could make that bread slicer more versatile by having a straight cut on one end and the mitre cut on the other end.

Very inspirational.i liked the ipad stand and bookmarks.
The safety of Grippr cannot be overstated.
Very good suggestions ... well constructed videos ... but the straw to clean up the excess glue is genius!
Those are all really neat, Marie. When you first started, I was wondering how you would incorporate hexagons and you didn't disappoint.

Don't know if it was recommended, but what about putting magnets on the back of the boards for the cookbook/iPad holder. Then you can dissemble the two pieces and put them back to back for a small storage footprint.
