DIY WOODEN COASTERS | Beginner and Intermediate Designs |

In this video, I make two different types of WOODEN COASTERS. The beginner coasters are made with Hickory which gives the coasters a nice rustic look. For the intermediate level coasters, I used scrap wood from my shop. I glued together the different pieces of scrap wood and then ran the glue up through a planer. From this new laminated board, I cut out the coasters.

Great video - Thanks for posting!

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@stacijones8271]

I want to learn how to make coasters. This is so cool and creative! Thanks!

[@raymundomarroquin7105]

Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge..

[@Ben_Grimsley]

My pleasure!

[@whitag01]

I love the warm tone of that finish

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Me too! I really love working with hickory.
Thanks for watching!

[@xokrissy13xo]

How do you make that coaster finish? Im thinking of getting into making coasters as a hobby, this was a great video full of great information thank you

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Glad it was helpful! I will make a video soon on my coaster finish. Stay tuned…

[@dorb6246]

Love the video. Keep up the great work, can't wait for other videos!

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Thank you! More on the way

[@randomuser23277]

Really cool, too bad I don’t have a planer, they look very clean!

[@Ben_Grimsley]

You could make these without a planer. Just start with lumber the same thickness you want your final coaster to be. Thanks for watching!

[@nasserharb2814]

Good job. I highly recommend a good microphone for a better quality sound

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Thank you! I now have a mic and I think it has made a huge difference (but let me know what you think). I think this was the last video I made before I got a mic.
Thanks for watching!

[@Ross_MC]

Couple of questions. What else could you use to seal the wood? i.e. a clear varnish or lacquer? Can you apply that AFTER the beeswax/oil mix?
Tyia!

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Great questions! Any type of oil based finish will work great. Just don’t use a water based finish (like polycrylic) because water will eat at the finish. And of course since it is a coaster, it will be exposed to water.
I always apply wax last. The wax is less about sealing the project and more about giving it a great feel. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes when you make your own coasters!

[@sflagg0817]

Thanks for sharing, would hot glue work in place of double sided tape. Thanks

[@Ben_Grimsley]

I have not tried this, but I would guess it would work! Thanks for watching!

[@davidfix444]

How thick are they Thank you

[@Ben_Grimsley]

I make mine roughly 0.75” thick. Thanks for watching

[@ArjenBes]

What are the de mentions of your coasters?

[@Ben_Grimsley]

I think these were 4.25” x 4.25”

[@ArjenBes]

Thanks!

[@66millworker]

How much do you sell them for?

[@Ben_Grimsley]

I usually sell them for $5 each. At craft shows, I sometimes throw in a set of two coasters if a customer buys a more expensive cutting board. Hope this helps!

[@jeff2101]

What price range do you sell the basic set for?

[@Ben_Grimsley]

Usually $20-$25 for a set of 4 coasters. I would up this to $30 if I include a holder. Hope this helps!

[@jeff2101]

@@Ben_Grimsley Awesome, I have 4 very old oak 6' long true 4x4"s that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. I want to cut and seal them but try and preserve the natural patina. Thanks for the direction.

[@whiplash1973]

audio for this video was brutal

[@Ben_Grimsley]

It was! Fortunately, I now have a mic. Thanks for watching!

[@fishingwithchris1357]

Terrible music
