Absolutely stunning! The tray was also great 👍 👌. ..Not enough sistahs in the woodworking side of DIY. Quite refreshing to see tbh..And Fine as wine too! Thts a plus lol 😆 😂
Thank you so much! I appreciate you commenting. I def am not into all the pricey tools. I would love them but my budget doesn’t allow so I use what I have and other resources like asking the shop owners to cut the wood that I bought. They have licensed wood shoppers who will cut it. It’s their job! Lol. They will even help you with measurements. I love it. 🥰🥰
I love the simplicity of this: no nails or hammering...just gluing pieces together and staining. Beautiful! A "free" alternative to buying stain for people, like me, who rarely stain things, is soaking a stainless steel dish scrubber in water for a couple of days then use the tinted water as a "stain".
@@HomeArtly I know, right? I learned it from the do-it-on-a-dime lady. I subscribed to your channel after seeing your thumbnails for cute Christmas and home decor items.
And thank you for subscribing! Yes, I love her diys, hauls and hacks. She’s so good at it. Id love to be able to do this full time...it changed the game so much.
Thank you! It's doing great still. I use it on weekends for family picnics on the living floor. My 7 year old it! Cant wait for the Warner months so I can use it outdoors again.
Very cool and simple. I'm looking to build a "crate topper" for our dog crate. All of the other wooden serving trays were unnecessarily complex for the task at hand. Exactly what I was envisioning. Thank you for sharing.
I'm making a serving tray out of poplar right now, and it's been a real pain in the butt. I wish I had seen this video first, because I definitely would have gone with plywood instead of gluing up 5 strips of wood and then having to sand all morning. I really like how you owned this project and made it work for you. Have those butt joints held up over the past two years? I'm always curious how long those last.
Hi. Thanks for the question. Yes, I waited for each layer of stain to dry before applying another coat. I also sanded in between each coat with 100 grit sandpaper to assure the smoothest finish.
Agreed. This was my first try so there a few things I’d do differently next time for sure. Going to be making another once I receive my jig saw. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi thanks for your question. I used the dremel 3000 rotary tool. I highly recommended a rotary tool for a DIYer this way you can change the accessories for whatever you’re working on. Of course you’ll need a much biggie type of saw for larger projects.
I for mine from Home Depot but Amazon sells it too. There is also a better model, I think it’s the rebel 4000 which does more. I’m not positive but I think that is the highest model.
Holy moly. Just realized the video. So for this tool I used hubby’s dewalt hand saw. It’s not the rotary tool. Sorry for the mix up! I still do suggest the rotary for much smaller projects but for this I used a DeWalt Saw. Also from Hole Depot. Sorry again for the mix up! Please check out more of my videos and subscribe.
This is a very nice tray! I was curious about the large size at the beginning but adding the square dowel divider really made a difference. Can't wait to try my own build. Thanks for sharing.
