Maurice you have mad skills with wood. A lot of people say they are craftsman and arent. You say nothing in your videos it's all about the wood and your craftmanship. You make the complex things look easy.
Just as I feel like my woodworking design and skills are coming along nicely, I see this video on how a serving tray could look! Gorgeous - 2nd to none.
Maurice Blok Its more or less completed, just waiting for the actual room to be finished so I can install it and finish up. I'm back at uni now though so videos are slow :(
I really enjoy the woodworking craftsmanship and the filmmaking of your videos. Your choice of music is great too. This serving tray video makes me feel like I'm back in the 1960s, sitting in my mid century design living room, smoking a cigarette and listening to this on my big console record player. That would have been tough, since I was only a child then, but still that's what I think of. Hahha. Awesome work!
Mid century living room, cigars and listening to a record player...?.. Ahhh, thats how I like to spend my Sunday's. Maybe next Sunday again :-) Thank you for the kind words!
I live close to this neighborhood. You could have made many beautiful split top tables with this old tree! www.dailybreeze.com/environment-and-nature/20160611/stately-torrance-neighborhood-landmark-facing-transformation-from-timber-to-tables photos.dailybreeze.com/2016/06/photos-250-year-old-walnut-tree-removed-in-torrance/#1
Nicely done Maurice. I've always been fond of mixed-media projects. Not only mixed species of hardwood in this case, but the brass pins add a really nice touch.
I don't know if you read these comments any more but if you do I just have echo those before me and tell you how genuinely beautiful your work is! I am only a year into woodworking and you inspire me to strive for finer work. I see you haven't uploaded any videos in some time. I hope you are well. ❤️
I didn’t catch it in the video, but it seems you would need to angle the dado at 10 degrees to match the angle of the sides. I’m working on a similar design to showcase recycled flooring from the Palace of the Governors here in Santa Fe-ponderosa pine over 400 years old. I like that you don’t instruct-you give just enough so we can figure out how, in our own way.
Big fan of your videos! You make it all look so clean, and effortless. That final treatment you put on there, is that available to purchase or it a mixture you made up? I have used the osmo oil usually as the final finish on my workpieces, isn;t that enough or does the wax give an extra level of protection?
It is a mixture of beeswax, carnaubawax and paraffin oil. But you are right just Osmo is the better way to go, at least thats how i finish them nowadays. Clear Topoil for the tray and and 3062 (or is it 3064..?) for the sides and handles. Thanks!
+Richard Leon The panel is floating and only glued at the centre to the frame allowing for expansion and contraction. Fully glueing the panel in would be asking for trouble.
+Maru Chan Had to read your question twice... Wish I knew how to do that. (or even what you're referring too, before I googled it:-) The tray sits on a lazy susan and I gave it a spin while recording it with a white paper background.
Hi, love, absolutely love the shop. I was actually excited for you to be working in it. Lol you spent alot of time, and obviously your skillset is higher then most. How much would you have to charge for that tray? Like $500 right? I mean, that was no cut, paste, and screw jobby that is higher end stuff. Anyways! Thanks for sharing & yes of course i liked and subscribed. Lol cant wait for the next one.😲

+joe brown Thanks so much Joe!
A beautiful tray. But that SHOP, wow I will watch that over and over just drooling on the setup and the machines.
- BEAUTIFUL & GRACEFULLY ARTISTIC. Great craftsmanship which you rarely find. Thanx 4 sharing.
Nicely done. Very functional, yet with an eye-catching design. Workmanship is first rate.
Thanks Scott! At current time I have altered the design somewhat but the fabrication method and overall design remains the same.
Your style (video and craftsmanship) is incredible. You are my new favorite channel. Can't wait for more. Cool song too.
great looking tray, excellent shop space and tools!
Simply Beautiful ! You should do more videos. We like them. Thanks for sharing

Dear Sir
It's a masterpiece for the kitchen
Would love to try something similar. If you don't have plans, could you give me rough dimensions & angle of cuts? Excellent work. Congrats.
This is super cool!
Very talented. Just subscribed.
Beautiful, the music was also awesome.
Thanks for sharing so many great techniques! :)

Amazing i hope I can one day be as good. looking forward to seeing your other stuf
I love your videos, please, make more..
love your videos, they are so well put together, and what a beautiful tray! (you kinda worried me in the beginning with that plywood)
+Matthew Harper Thank you Matthew!
That's exceptional.
this is really inspiring!!inspired me and it takes a lot to get me motivated and inspired..lol happy 2016!!
Really good-looking piece. I enjoyed the video too very much. Is the panel floating in the frame or glued in, and if so could that be a problem?
+Richard Leon The panel is floating and only glued at the centre to the frame allowing for expansion and contraction. Fully glueing the panel in would be asking for trouble.
+Maurice Blok Thanks, I was worried for you!
Bellissimo !! Great work. If i may ask, what finish did you use? Hot Oil ?
+Tony DiSarro Paraffin oil, beeswax and carnauba wax blend.
Thank You
great piece.
Excellent.
Did you buy your power tools new or used? They are fantastic.
Tablesaw/ spindle moulder, jointer/ thickness planer, dust extractor and bandsaw secondhand. Handheld power tools mostly new.
Very nice
beautiful project, is tha pan of the tray a render?, if not, how did you make it look so smooth?
+Maru Chan Had to read your question twice... Wish I knew how to do that. (or even what you're referring too, before I googled it:-) The tray sits on a lazy susan and I gave it a spin while recording it with a white paper background.
