    This is such a smart way to make trays that’s a few extra steps in one way, but saves materials and saves one from having to hog out all that material.

    How to make this tray in numbers in a limited time

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This design is optimized for material efficiency, not time efficiency. For speed I’d say use the more traditional design where you use a router to dish out the waste.

  • @timothybaker8234
    @timothybaker8234 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    If you make the two edge boards a couple inches longer on each end, the extra length will take any snipe from the planer. Then just trim the ends off.

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That would require 8" extra for my planer to accommodate both sides. I use a leader/trailer sacrificial board and it works great.

    Great work on that serving tray Paul! If I made one of those trays I would add a few contrasting dowels to the ends that are glued on for additional strength & esthetics. Also some rubber feet for each of the bottom corners. 👍👍😉😉

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Steve, thanks for the suggestions. I don't believe that additional strength is needed on the end joints, but that would add a nice look. I should have mentioned in the video that I am planning to add feet. I was waiting to get my laser engraving instructions, then after engraving I apply one more coat of finish, then the feet go on. I did source the feet that I use in the description.

    Love the design. What about the ploy and it not being food safe? Or were you no intending this to be for serving food?

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s food safe after the finish cures, so roughly 30 days. But it’s not really intended for direct contact with food.

    Thanks for the video. I made one for an engagement gift - and they say it’s too good to use…. I thought it might have been a little heavy. What thickness of base do you recommend?

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on the overall dimensions. I do feel that the bottom is a bit on the thicker side. I sometimes run the bottom through the planer a few times to lighten it up a bit after cutting off the pieces that get glued on top. That way the pieces that get glued on don’t sacrifice any height.

  • @michaelgrova225
    @michaelgrova225 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    First time seeing this method used and I love the idea. Definitely have been looking to do a serving tray and I like the idea of not having to remove the material and rather build it up. One question though, why the poly finish ? Did you only use that on the outer material ? I have always stayed away from poly if it involves food.

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your feedback. Poly is one of the most durable and moisture resistant finishes that you can use for service items that are not used for direct food contact such as as serving tray or kitchen table. Poly becomes non-toxic in about 30 days so it will not hurt the food if it touches the serving tray in the same way that it would be OK if food touches your kitchen table. That said if you want to use the piece for ongoing direct food contact as you would a cutting board or charcuterie board then it would make sense to use a finish that can be rejuvenated more easily without causing the 30 day delay for the finish to cure. Mineral oil or butcher block finish are good options for that type of application.

    @daniellaczo4978 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for showing this method. It is definitely more approachable than hogging out with a router or other tools. Do you think it would be sturdy enough to work as a "breakfast in bed" tray if the glued on sides had enough height/material below the top for a pair of legs?

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Daniel, thanks for watching. Yes, absolutely, this has a 3/4" bottom and is much stronger than the typical breakfast in bed tray so I think it would work great. Nice idea. Cheers, Paul

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Randy, that's a great question, and I'm glad that you asked. These thin rips often require removal of the guard with conventional approaches. My preference is to leave the blade guard in place for as many cuts as possible, and the sled that I used allows for that. The simple jig that you see in this video is explained further in this jig: th-cam.com/video/Sd8KLMYNQ5w/w-d-xo.html . And if you watch that, I'll give you extra credit if you can identify the person in the video. :)

    @AssafYCohen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Paul and thanks for that nice video/ idea.
    Regarding the finish-
    Why not using the Odie's Oil, which is food safe and gives an ultra-durable beautiful finish instead of toxic polyurethane?

    • @ToolMetrix
      @ToolMetrix  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi Assaf, you could certainly use Odies on this; it's a great product. For projects that require direct food contact and frequent refresh of the finish I use butcher block conditioner and mineral oil. With those types of products, you can use immediately after application. For projects like this (trays, tables, etc) that are not used for direct food contact, I use poly as it offers more durability, and would never require the finish to be refreshed through normal use. Poly is toxic until it cures, which is about 30 days under most conditions.

      No, that’s actually not correct. The finish is safe for food contact after it cures which is approximately 30 days. So you could serve food directly on it if you wanted to although normally with a serving tray you would have dishes placed on the tray rather than setting the food directly on the tray as you would with a charcuterie board.

    BEEN IN WOODWORKING FOR 70 YEARS - TEACHING CABINETMAKING FOR 45 YEARS - HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE - SUGGESTION: YOU SHOULD "RAISE THE GRAIN" PRIOR TO ADDING FINISH - 7:22. ESPECIALLY ON HARDWOODS - THIS MAKES SURE ANY FINISH ADDED DOES NOT "RAISE THE GRAIN" - THIS PROCESS INVOLVES WETTING THE WOOD - RAISING THE GRAIN - SANDING - RAISING THE WOOD - SANDING - UNTIL THE GRAIN NO LONGER RAISES ANY HIGHER - FINALLY ADD YOUR FINAL TOP COAT - - THE SANDPAPER GRITS SHOULD INCREASE WITH EACH RAISING: 80 - 120 - 180 - 220 - 400 ALSO, YOUR METHOD OF APPLYING YOUR FINAL COAT SITS ON THE SURFACE AND COULD BE WORN OFF FASTER - I HAND RUB "TUNG" OIL ON MY PROJECTS(OLD SCHOOL "FRENCH POLISH" TECHNIQUE) LOST ART - MY FINISH IS "IN THE WOOD" AND NOT "ON THE WOOD"

    Better way to make serving trays is with vertical handles with holes
