If these were purple they'd be the perfect holiday gift
He should make another pair and spray paint them.
Or use purple heart.
I feel like someone was just saying that the purple heat will turn brown.@@bluesSGL
But Princess Meow Meow's theme song played so maybe she was hiding.
WOW, these would make a super gift for the holidays. And for the fancy friends and family you can pare them up with a cutting board or salad bowl all made up of the same glue ups! Fancy!! LOL
Hey this is so timely, I just got my bandsaw in this week
I love making gifts for the kitchen to give my family and friends. Things like cutting boards, and chopping blocks. Could you do a video on making a cutting board on the future? I've been woodworking for a few months now and cutting boards were my first projects that gave me a hard time when it came to finishing them.
Great video! Loved the live cast yesterday too!
Thanks! And thanks for watching the livestream! Purple salad servers! 😂
@@SteveRamsey I watch the live-stream (later) and now this "short" one.
I was surprised that you made in fact two totally separate videos. Somehow I expected you would make an excerpt of the live-stream version and
maybe some add-ons to it.
Love you work Steve!!
It’s the light coming from that sparkly new truck you got. We didn’t get quite the same glare from your old truck :)
Nicely done Steve! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks for the bandsaw review, Steve! I have the same one and it's hands down the worst tool in my shop. I super regret buying it, and I can't wait to upgrade.
I had one given to me, and it had alot of the same issues. I found the lower wheel to not be co-planer with the upper, and installed a washer to fix that. I also changed out the tires from the rubber ones to some silicon tires, put casters on the bottom (had to build the base to do this), swapped out the blade guide blocks with ceramic ones and replaced both belts with the link belts. Some other upgrades I did was to replace the tension knob with a tensioner that had a handle on it, making tensioning of blades alot easier, and to install a Kreg bandsaw fence on it. These upgrades made the saw run/cut alot better (for what it was, that is). I only got rid of it because I needed a larger re-saw height. I gave it to the guy who helped my bring my new bandsaw home, and he is still using it.
Thank you for the great video. Did I miss what type of wood? 😊
This was your last sponsered video right. That's too bad I love your Casper spots and everything else.
Thank you 🙂
made these when the video came out but would like the plans again can you make them available again?
The fingers might come out a bit neater with a router but the bandsaw is much more fun.
Hey steve, can you make a vanity mirror with lights with a simple tools like circular saw
I got interested in basic construction (just shed size max) and woodworking in Q3 of 2020, and got my first set of saws and a belt sander for Christmas (likely will build a sanding table to mount it to, that would be an awesome video for you to put out :)). I have a circular saw, miter saw, power drill, impact driver (that I accidentally "inherited" from a satellite installer a few years ago... woops!), a growing assortment of bits, and other basic tools any home owner should have. The things I'm truly missing are a table saw, jigsaw, and a good assortment of clamps.
With some creativity to get around these last few for now, are they truly "required" to get started in woodworking? Obviously safety would remain #1 importance. My wife wants me to ensure I'll actually pick up the hobby before I start buying everything ;)
Also, I've watched a lot of your videos over the past few weeks and just signed up on your website... thanks for all your content for us beginners!
What thickness board do you use? 3/4 inch?
I would actually use a Jigsaw for this project because man is it a lot easier to both use and control for resawing and it's a lot cheaper than a Bandsaw (especially a big Bandsaw which is pretty dang expensive).
Love your videos and projects, Steve! I( recently made a couple of your razor sharpening boxes...sure beats the ratty pair of old jeans I left lying on my dresser!)
But I have to take exception to you recommending this as a good first project for somebody new to the bandsaw. Resawing a profile in a tall, thin board right out of the gate? As a 30 year veteran shop teacher, that's not something I'd recommend to a bandsaw newbie.
Can you make a video about work safety?
Looks like the boards you are using start at 3/4" is that right?
Steve, I hate to be that safety jerk. ( I really have no place to preach due to the fact that I have one finger that is messed up from being fed to my table saw several years ago ) but since you seem to be presenting to many newcomers here, a quick mention that you had the upper guide raised higher than normal safety practices would recommend might have been a good note for these viewers.
Be careful! 👍
I'm glad you pointed this out. I was trying to tell Steve through my phone but I guess he didnt hear me. Lol. I know, lame.

One thing I learned from my teacher’s accidents when I was in school is that you should never distract someone operating sharp, motor-driven tools.
Found your channel in a de-cluttering comment section xD i subbed tho soooo
It was terrifying watching bolts on your bandsaw loosen while re-sawing the first one
What I think is ironic is in the UK Wickes is a building merchant and you are sponsored by Wix
I saw the live streamed video for this, I think I like the mineral oil finish a little more ;)
These are fantastic, Steve. I liked the old video too, but it’s cool seeing you make an old project with much better quality.
I have 5 new video ideas that I highly recommend you make pretty please. You should make videos talking about the different types of clamps, joints, bits, drills, and knobs (for like cabinets, drawers, etc.).
Gotta try these now! What brand spray adhesive do you use? All I can find don’t peel off very easy
Spencer Hoadley - The Twin Writer he mentioned Elmer's in his live
If you wait a minute or two before attaching what you have sprayed it will be easier to peel off. The longer you wait, the more it will turn into a post-it note type of adhesive. You can always peel them off with mineral spirits.
And most everything I learnt about WW I got from Steve. Amazing teacher.
Just put painter's tape on the wood first. Then put the spray adhesive on the tape. When you're done, just peel the tape off.
Hello, a wonderful project and a great job with the wood. Greetings from Andy from Germany
Harbor freight is the IKEA of woodworking. If you need something and you don't wanna pay very much for it you can technically get it way cheaper at Harbor freight. But it won't be the same quality as if you would bought it at a regular store. They do also sell really good quality stuff there but at that point you're paying a comparable price to what you would've paid if you had gone to one of the more common big box stores...
Those look really “handy”
I have a WEN band saw. It seems pretty good for the money.
You know, Steve, the handles could be painted purple and the spork ends done with mineral oil. Now I'm giddy because I got to use the word "spork."
Now tell us how often are you going to use the servers, I think you won't find them handy at all. They are too wide, too bulky, have a bad profile to handle them, so they are cumbersome in use, and only after a big mod can they be of any real use...
Are these plans still available? They look awesome
Merry Christmas to you and the family Steve.
I have the older green HF bandsaw and love it! I put 6" riser blocks and Carter bandsaw guides on it and wouldn't trade it for one of the newer $1800 saws!
personally, I don't get it why all salad mixer ended up like a fork. what is the point of make it look like a fork? that fork shape is not any better than spoon shape functionally. only difficult to wash. no friction, no sauce drop...what is the functionality of that grooves?
wait a minute I miss the purple paint ;-) sure I build some of this salad servers but for pulled pork salad hahaha
happy holidays for you and your family and a big hug from France
Great Video My Friend !
Once I get a bandsaw, I'll definitely try this. what are some good bandsaws that are mobile and compact? I've seen skil and ryobi are they good?
@Cleve's Backyard Woodworking: I would look at Grizzly as well
I owned a Ryobi as my first bandsaw. I would put the quality a little better than Steve's Harbor Freight saw....but only a little.
My previous bandsaw was Ridgid. It lasted me for about 15 years.
just bought a WEN 10 in... i love it!
Hi i was trying to get thebplans but it won't load.
Thanks for the video! Any ideas on how to do this sort of project without a band saw? Specifically, how to do the first cut (making the board thinner in places)?
That would be tricky. You could use a handsaw, but that would definitely take some skill. Or just lots and lots of sanding to shape it!
Sanding to thin it out then a jigsaw for the rest
You could also use files or rasps to shape the wood by hand.
I'd be tempted to modify the design so you remove less material. Then try a carving gouge, rasps and lots of sanding. 60 grit flap wheel in a mains power drill removes lots of material.
Start with the second cut with jigsaw to leave you less to to sand ,rasp or carve.
Looks like a sporkin' fish. I like.
Hmmm- Id take your HF saw over my old 3-wheel Delta any day. Or maybe for just one day. HF is a crap shoot I've had mostly good luck. If it weren't for HF guys like me would never have gotten off the ground! I'm making these tongs for a white elephant at my company party
I just found you, and what I would really like is for some really nice dinning room chairs. So few people have them. I just subbed to your site today. If you could make some chairs for some dining room tables, I would be VERY happy. BTW, love your site. It has been more than helpful.
Thanks, Steve...fun little project. I liked doing it; my bride loved them...so the money for all my "toys" is paying off! :)
Really enjoyed this video, quick/easy project, and a perfect gift idea, along with a free template! Thanks!
Bandsaw's the only tool that's ever bit me. Whacked one of my fingers in half once with it, doing stupid things that I should have known better than to do..
I really need a bandsaw 😕
You can also glue the face template at the beginning, cut the edge side and then keep the offcut sides, fold them back with the useful core element like a sandwich and then cut the face along the template (which is already glued) but with a flat surface riding on the table. You can also fold two servers that way, immobilize them as a one block and cut them simultaneously. Other than that - great idea!
I want to make these
I finally got around to building the lumber rack. I'm not sure that it will go up the basement stairs when I move
Don't buy a cheap bandsaw. The time I've wasted makes me feel sick.
Hi , Can I do it with just a jigsaw? I don't have space for band saw so I don't have one ....
I saw the airplane hanging on the wall in your shop. Is that one of your projects or did someone make it for you?
I have a wen 10” bandsaw and I love it
I like my 10in Wen aswell
Very handy, hahaha I get lit. Thanks for another good video, I'll try this soon.
I like your videos Steve, I'm not in USA could you tell or send me the link for the mineral oil?
Yea I'm like you on the Harbor Fright band saw I have one and I don't like it lol
Nice video as usual. I am going to give this a shot sometime soon.
Thanks for sharing!
Did you trade out your old truck? Old trucks are cool, man!
You're the Mr. Rogers of woodcutting
Steve you are awesome, when are you going to do a meet and greet?
What happened to the twitter account?
I quit Twitter a year ago. So much happier without that in my life! 😊👍
make Real apple boxes with ribs.
Could use some paint..
SUPER LIKE FRIEND.
Cool project!
Thx
Hi, Steve, can these be made using a narrow blade or does it require a wide one like you used? Thanks!
Kathy Winn it would be a lot better with a narrow blade!
I ruined a beautiful piece of walnut trying this. My (wide) blade drifted so badly while cutting the thickness that the spoon was unusable. It could have been too wide a board for my crappy jigsaw, or too wide of a blade but more than likely it was pilot error.
long time subscribers will remember when steve made these years ago
Didn't Wyatt do a companion video with his recipe for something made with them?
yes
I just wanted to let you know why I stopped supporting you on Patreon, I love your content and encourage you to keep up the great work, but I can no longer have anything to do with Patron
I feel like he should be wearing eye protection
The horror website images at the end suddenly make this non family friendly. I was watching this with my 5 year old and had to quickly turn it off.
too much trouble, you can buy them for less than $10.00 already made.
I don't think is worth the time
True. Store bought things are almost always cheaper than DIY things.
Definitely, eBay is probably even cheaper, but its not about the costs, it's about the experience working on a project and your hobby.
Is pizza considered a salad?
