Oh Tamar, l just watched this without sound as my wife is asleep and l forgot my headphones. Your smile is so lovely and your body language expresses how excited you truly are. What a lovely way to be. The projects were beautiful and something family and friends would be thrilled to receive. Please don't change just keep on being just as you are. So many channels go from fun to commercial and impersonal and lose there charm. Thank you for making me smile.
I feel like a lot of these, if not all of them, could be done in a school woodshop class. I know a lot of people that would absolutely love to make these and bring home.
Excellent! I spent a bit of my time today finishing up my new dust collection and getting it hooked up to my new planer. Then I planed some wood for a toy box I'm making for my niece and I was SO psyched at how well the dust and shavings got sucked up and left my shop clean! Game changing! Can't wait to get some more project time in tomorrow!
@@3x3CustomTamar I really can’t wait! i have a ton of issues with cheap tools I started diy projects with. Squares that are not square. tape measure that turns out is half inch off. my table saw… well… I poured epoxy on top of it to make it flat. Then had to raise the fence cause it was no longer able to slide over extra layer of epoxy… So yeah… I almost gave up at some point.
I've come back to this video often because I love these projects so much, especially the trays. I'm in a bit of an quandry lately as I've noticed how much wood is wasted (obliterated) in so many projects on youtube, rather than cut out. Routing out those trays would waste so much more wood so I prefer the way you did it. I hope I will eventually find some good solid wood to make these with. Btw my woodworking adventure started with your side table, it's been a great journey learning with you!
Your skills are really, really impressive. I have to share your channel with my students. Great, excellent, wonderfull. After searching hundreds of channels where I can learn and learn, your channel is the best. Your explanation is not ostentatious, it is like the way a lecturer is teaching her apprentices.
I had that thought as well. One caution I thought of is that if the feet were put at the far corners, it would be fairly easy to lean on the center and break the t&g joint so maybe putting them under the corners of the main board would be a better idea. Then orient them so that if an overzealous child leaned on the cracker side, it would roll and the worst that would happen is spilled food, not a broken tray.
I follow you for several years and you are great. It makes a lot of fun watching your videos and the content is super. Great to found you on you tube. Thanks for making my life enjoyabler.
Love the projects. They solve problems I did not know even had like the crackers for example. I don’t know why but the crackers are always odd when laying out a board with cheese. What great ideas. Thanks! 👍🏼👊🏼
Nice upload! Maybe it’s just my bah humbugness but these gift idea videos that have felt increasingly repetitive and dull but I found these projects surprisingly unique and creative.. But here’s a condensed version of the directions for each project in case you’re in a rush and even more of a Scrooge than me.. Project 1: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 2: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 3: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 4: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 5: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Haha but seriously, don’t be a jerk and just watch the video… it stands out in a group of videos where it isn’t easy to do so and is by a creator who’s worth supporting.. Respect!!
That tray is beautiful -- a CNC project but appreciate the process you used to show for those who don't have one. However you just caused me to have more work because now I have to make one :) good thing I have a CNC :)
Oh my God.When I was thinking what will be the next project you just show all of these.I loved both the simple ones (but charming a lot) and the more elaboreted and dificult to copy.Your projects are amazing...and super nice ..congratulations from Brazil
As always very useful presentation. I'll certainly be making the scoops for the garden. Incidentally, for the bagette cutter I have in the past cut hollows on the table saw. Just set a fence to an angle to the blade and carefully cut in small steps. I've cut to an inch deep but you could go to the depth of the saw blade if you take it carefully. You can also make parabolas if you set the blade to an angle too. Keep up the brill work.
This is super legit. You're incredibly talented. Especially with reasonable tools and suggestions for when you don't have those more advanced tools. Great work!!
These are all fantastic, and I'm glad you did them all with tools we would likely have in the shop--because that serving tray would be a perfect job for the Shaper Origin. :)
I always like these holiday gift vids. They give me so many V8 moments. As always excellent and creative ideas. Why couldn't I think of that? haha I love the veggie/chip tray. My wife wants the Fiesta ware dip and veggie set but I like this much better. I wonder if I could make it without being caught? You baguette cutter would also make a nice plate stand for open or glass front cabinets. :) BTW, I took last year's trivets to a wedding this summer and my family went nuts for them. They kept every one. :)
Scanned through the comments and saw lots of suggestions on different ways to make your fun projects. However nothing about the stale baguette. So I will offer my tip on that. I have a bakery that I get end of day fresh baguettes for .50 each. I get a couple and slice them up and make little french toast slices out of them. Softens up the stale bread and they are quite good. :-) Your slicer would be perfect for that. Happy Holidays
Haha. Funny story. I went to go fill it with stuff for pictures and I didn’t have any appropriate food in the fridge so I just added stuff for color like clementines 😂
To cut angled baguettes, pick a cut on one side and one several spaces down on the other. Set your guide to match that angle and add those cuts with the saw.
Te admiro, yo no tengo esa maravillosas máquinas, pero hago un poco de tablas y cositas de madera, en ocasiones me desanimo pero veo un video tuyo y me da para arriba, me inspiro!!!!! Muchas Gracias, 👍🖐️🇲🇽
You should be able to turn that forest of clamps into some sort of Christmas decoration. I love the party tray. I have one from the store - which I love - that's symmetric with wedges that look strangely like Starfleet insignia.
Aloha ... Sorry I haven't been active on your recent projects. Finishing up a long term work assignment at one of my old Navy commands in Hawaii. So I'm away from my NY state wood shop. I have been practicing with a router, using templated and bearing guides and I remembered the serving tray build and how it would be a good project for a router. So I got a bunch of koa and monkeypod off-cuts, bring them home to NY and I'm going to give it a go. Koa is a very beautiful wood, native to Hawaii and hard to come by.
When I see "woodworking gift ideas" showing up I immediately expect some less than stellar ideas. Gotta say these are cool, unique, fun, creative ideas. In addition they are good skill builders. You get 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I also liked seeing your shop. It looks like a real shop and not a set for a commercial. We all have the scrap bin that's over flowing 😂 we know we'll use that piece eventually! Thanks for sharing 👍
Another, yet highly Kool video of your works, thank you always, why we've recently relocated, I no longer have a workshop area, other than the outdoor carport, and with winter here in Colorado, it's a bit trifle to work outdoor in the elements, but God ALWAYS sustains me by his strength, everyone of your videos inspires me more and more! Thank you Father God and thank and bless you and your family and work Tamar!
I've started doing fund-raiser projects like that for my community theatre. I don't save lumber less than 24" (we don't have a board stretcher anymore!), but it STILL owes us money. this time of year, ornaments come to mind. end grain coasters are always a good choice. I'll probably be making a baguette thing now too!
For feet, and only using wood, you might consider saving some corks from wine bottles and cutting them into thinner discs. Attach them by drilling a hole of the same diameter and a bit of glue.
Please don't ever upgrade from your little Dewalt table saw! It's so inspiring to see what you can make with a saw that so many of us have in our garages.
Beautiful gifts. You must love the recipients very much to spend this much time & effort. If I had to make them, I'd probably have to start in September ;) Oh well, September will be here before you know it. Happy holidays!
There is something about how you do things that that makes your works very special. Love how you keep taking measurements to the minimum, how you work with templates and how your router can do anything. Keep the videos coming.
Somebody has probably already mentioned this in the comments, but just in case: Izzy Swan has a video (or three) on cutting coves like on the baguette slicer using the table saw and a bias jig. The only other thing I would suggest is adding some 'feet' on the slicer to prevent it from being 'tippy'. All these projects are fun ideas!
Tamar, congratulations on making a novel Christmas gift video. Obviously lots of people are making videos about Christmas gifts, but usually they're just variations on the same-old same-old. You've come up with new ideas. You are truly a marvel!!! I'm going to make two of them for my crowd this year. Thank you!!!
5 superb projects. They are all my favourite. Although the "cracker well" board is fantastic especially after you had 6 billion ideas about how to change it right after the glue was dry. Well done for getting this video out so quickly and for your enthralling commentary. I don't own any tools and am so glad that you do so that we can watch you using yours to such effect.
Love those! I would not hog out theserving tray, the contrasting wood looks great. So want the baget cutter. For the cheese tray, I would leave 1/2" thick ends on the walnut to keep the crakers in place; the contrasting wood is just fantastic.
Hi Tamar, I really don't know what to write except that they are all very nice and well done. Thanks for sharing. I just write a comment to increase your site. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷
Amazing projects, amazing talent, amazing video. For the semi circles in the center drill a 3/8 dia.hole, insert a sharpened dowel and Wala you have a finishing leg to put under a project you’re going to finish .👍😇
I love the creativity, thats one of the things i struggle with most is coming up with original designs, to make each piece not only personal and unique, but also a first of its kind. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have enjoyed watching your videos, and have recently actually purchased the 6 in 1 router jig (by the way) you might want to check the CNC setting had to file the holes and groves a bit to get the bolts in and slide well. Other wise very happy with it and downloaded the pattern and started building the geometric tray. Well started making a second one as my first attempt failed due to my impatience. I have the tools though not the top of the line my skill level and time are lacking. I tried to make the trays out of a thicker piece of walnut and tried to route to much at one time. Needed less to say it didn’t go well, the large flush trim router bit i used chewed up the end grain and so now I am making it like you did by glueing two pieces of 3/4 walnut together. I made the templets out of 1/2 MDF but thinking I will try to make them out of 1/4 or 1/2 plexiglass for the next attempt.
Excellent ideas! For the crackers, you cracked me up using hexagon crackers instead of Ritz round ones. Keeping us entertained while learning. My favorite content!
Wow, Tamar this is so beautiful, my favorite is the multiple trays in the round one, I’m definitely doing that one as soon as I can finish my shop, thanks again for sharing your great projects ideas!!!
Good video. I got some good ideas, in terms of wood technique, from your video. Have a great weekend. On the gift bowl, I think the lamination option is good for someone that has limited tools and/or skills. And you can use contrasting wood, like you did, to add some artistic flair to the bowls. Giving info on both options is good. Thank you.
Tamar, this is fantastic! I thought you were going to just do the serving tray for this video. SOO much more handy for folks to see a variety of options.
Absolutely love all these projects and those other holiday gifts you have done before. We can always trust you to come up with simple, fun, easy but brilliant and beautiful ideas.
Cracker well: What a great and novel idea! I'm thinking that if you cut it to fit a piece of PVC pipe, the glue up might be easier. Taping the octagon: twine tourniquet. Nuff said. Sorry to say, you need more clamps. :) Carving the baguette tray seems like a good job for a tablesaw "cove cut". The idea of cove cutting is a bit scary, but then again so is angle grinder carving. No worries about the stale bread. It's fondue time now! I kind of wonder if more than one cut is actually required though. You've sort of made a handsaw miter box for bread, so maybe have one straight cut and one on the bias. Perhaps etch in some slice thickness markings. I may have to make this now. Just gotta figure out how to put some vertical grain where the knife bottoms out, and a way to decoratively hide it in my already overstuffed kitchen. As always, great work on fresh ideas and good demonstration of techniques.
Great stuff, thanks. Look up Cutting coves on the Table Saw to make the cove in the baguette tray/slicer. You can do it indoors and this time of year, that might be important.
Love the ideas. More than that thank you for admitting mistakes. So many videos go so smoothly, projects in real time do not. Enjoy your holiday season. Happy building.
Always love your creations 👍 My solution to curved sanding is to use PVC. If you have a diameter similar to what you are working on, use CA glue to attach the sandpaper. You you now have a round sanding block that can be used to reach those pesky spots the spindle sander won't. That was my go to before adding my spindle sander. I was also going to mention the cove jig for the table saw, but it appears that has already surfaced. Thank you so much for your sharing your creations. I will be heading to the website for the serving tray templates.
Thanks Tamar! These are all great ideas. FYI Tip: To glue up the octogon, lay a long piece masking tape on its back. Then place each piece on its back edge, laying each piece end to end. Then apply glue and simply roll it up.
Really nice ideas! Wish I had a bandsaw... an idea for getting glue out of tight places is using a plastic straw for large drips. I saw that on TH-cam a few times with different people. Great job! 👍
That geometric tray is one of the coolest gift ideas I’ve seen! Thanks as always for sharing your talent.
So glad you like it! ☺️
She is so underrated this is the kinda productive stuff that should be all of TH-cam

Great video!
Just submitted a magnetic knife block I just made which will be a Christmas gift for my mom!
Awesome!
I like that all these are fairly straightforward design and builds.
So awesome to hear
Baguette cutter is the best looking and most functional in my opinion. I’ll need to try and make one, thanks for the video.

Yeah! So glad you like it! So easy!!
And, unlike most knife blocks, can actually be kept clean!
That baguette cutting tray is awesome! Now i gotta make myself one for sure!

That's a great knife holder. Not having the blade touch any surfaces is fab.
Thanks! I’m so thrilled with how it turned out
Have you considered getting into puzzle making? Your work is so clean, I think you’d kick ass at it!
Not really. I tend to just make things I need. Puzzles aren’t really on that list. Ha

To cut angled baguettes, pick a cut on one side and one several spaces down on the other. Set your guide to match that angle and add those cuts with the saw.
By using previously made cuts as the start and end you should be able to avoid removing too much wood and keep the sides looking the same.

I made the templets out of 1/2 MDF but thinking I will try to make them out of 1/4 or 1/2 plexiglass for the next attempt.
Oh no. Glad you were able to fix it though. I’ll have to check the file
New subscriber. Love your channel and have posted it on my Facebook page and have shared it with specific friends with notes. Thanks.
Excellent ideas! For the crackers, you cracked me up using hexagon crackers instead of Ritz round ones. Keeping us entertained while learning. My favorite content!
Haha! They’re a common kosher cracker, called tam tams
Always impressed with your creativity and ingenuity! Ps when is a mini split company going to sponsor you?! 😁
☺️☺️ I was supposed to be out of this shop already… supply chains are kinda messing with my plans. Ha
Wow, Tamar this is so beautiful, my favorite is the multiple trays in the round one, I’m definitely doing that one as soon as I can finish my shop, thanks again for sharing your great projects ideas!!!
Have fun with it!
Good video. I got some good ideas, in terms of wood technique, from your video. Have a great weekend. On the gift bowl, I think the lamination option is good for someone that has limited tools and/or skills. And you can use contrasting wood, like you did, to add some artistic flair to the bowls. Giving info on both options is good. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Yeah. Always options!
that canary wood was so beautiful! i loved seeing the 3 different woods in the geometric serving tray
Yeah! It’s so cool. Thanks!
always look forward to the creativity and problem solving. never been disappointed. stay awesome
So awesome to hear
Really cool. The cookie serving tray is a great idea.
Thanks so much!
Tamar, this is fantastic! I thought you were going to just do the serving tray for this video. SOO much more handy for folks to see a variety of options.
So glad you like the options!
Absolutely love all these projects and those other holiday gifts you have done before. We can always trust you to come up with simple, fun, easy but brilliant and beautiful ideas.
So awesome to hear! So glad you like them
The scoop at the end is my favorite.
Thanks! So fun to make use of those scraps
Excellent! My favorite is the segmented serving tray. Super cool.
So glad you like it! Thanks!
@@3x3CustomTamar I am stopping by Woodcraft on my way home today to pick up the Whiteside Bowl & Tray router bit. Excites to make the serving set!
The cheese tray is fantastic! I can make a bread tray. Thank you!
So glad you liked them!
So good, I wish it was slower though. Thanks for the tip on the cutoff rounds - excellent idea I was going to ask!
Love the baguette cutter and the cheese and cracker board. Definitely making those!
Awesome. Have fun!!
Cracker well: What a great and novel idea! I'm thinking that if you cut it to fit a piece of PVC pipe, the glue up might be easier.
Taping the octagon: twine tourniquet. Nuff said.
Sorry to say, you need more clamps. :)
Carving the baguette tray seems like a good job for a tablesaw "cove cut". The idea of cove cutting is a bit scary, but then again so is angle grinder carving. No worries about the stale bread. It's fondue time now! I kind of wonder if more than one cut is actually required though. You've sort of made a handsaw miter box for bread, so maybe have one straight cut and one on the bias. Perhaps etch in some slice thickness markings. I may have to make this now. Just gotta figure out how to put some vertical grain where the knife bottoms out, and a way to decoratively hide it in my already overstuffed kitchen.
As always, great work on fresh ideas and good demonstration of techniques.
Sounds like a good idea. Have fun!
Great stuff, thanks. Look up Cutting coves on the Table Saw to make the cove in the baguette tray/slicer. You can do it indoors and this time of year, that might be important.
Yup! I feel like that would be a little too advanced for a beginner to try out. Tried to make it more approachable 👍
Love the projects! Could use the leftover walnut half circles for handles on a tray. 🤔
I totally could have. Ha
Love the ideas. More than that thank you for admitting mistakes. So many videos go so smoothly, projects in real time do not. Enjoy your holiday season. Happy building.
So glad you like them!
Always love your creations 👍 My solution to curved sanding is to use PVC. If you have a diameter similar to what you are working on, use CA glue to attach the sandpaper. You you now have a round sanding block that can be used to reach those pesky spots the spindle sander won't. That was my go to before adding my spindle sander. I was also going to mention the cove jig for the table saw, but it appears that has already surfaced. Thank you so much for your sharing your creations. I will be heading to the website for the serving tray templates.
Thanks so much! I actually used sandpaper around a large dowel. But the card scraper worked better
Very Nice and thank you soooooo much for making the templates available on your website.
So glad you appreciate it!
Thanks Tamar! These are all great ideas. FYI Tip: To glue up the octogon, lay a long piece masking tape on its back. Then place each piece on its back edge, laying each piece end to end. Then apply glue and simply roll it up.
Glad you like them! That’s usually how I glue up boxes. Not sure why I didn’t do it that way here. Ha
You make it look so easy! I like it! And is inspiring!! I was drooling to see some nice machinery you have there. Thank you Tamar!!! 😎👍🏻
Fun to make these!
Cut a thin slice of the cut out semi circles for the cracker tray so it keeps them in when moving around
I definitely considered that. I thought I would make a slot to glue in a thin piece
Your work is fabulous and your videos are fabulous also. I love that you are so talented and teach this stuff so well.
Awesome to hear!
Really nice ideas! Wish I had a bandsaw... an idea for getting glue out of tight places is using a plastic straw for large drips. I saw that on TH-cam a few times with different people. Great job! 👍
Thanks! Yup! Use that all the time too. It’s a good one
These gift ideas are so beautiful and you make it look so easy
