Sometimes you have to make woodworking gifts. You can build this GORGEOUS modern wooden serving tray in just one day. What I love about this project is that it’s completely customizable. You can change out the wood species, modify the handles, add chamfers or round overs. You can really take this wooden tray and make it into the perfect woodworking gift. The clean lines give the tray a modern look, but it’s still fits into a room of any décor. While the construction is pretty straight forward, it can still be challenging and allows you to hone your woodworking skills. Even if you aren’t looking to give someone a gift, I recommend giving this project a shot and let me know how it turned out!

I hope this video gives you some ideas on how to make your own trays. This is a great project to batch out. You can make several trays in the same amount of time as it takes to make one.

@natasharose6889 8 месяцев назад

I made this for my dad this Christmas. Great instructions and came out beautifully!!

@ladykenja2700 3 года назад

- VERY, VERY nice piece. I particularly like the handles as they allow the board to use both sides for serving or a tray. I don't place tabs on either side of my boards in order to give my new owners the option to use both sides for serving. In your build, both sides can also be used for serving. The handles make a nice stand. Thanx 4 sharing.

@pteddie6965 3 года назад

Fantastic project, Billy. The design is extremely classy. I think that you should make a matching napkin/plastic holder to go along with this, but by itself it is great. I know that a lot of RU-vid watchers love the big, complicated projects, but there are also many novice/weekend woodworkers out there watching that live for these relatively simple projects. Thanks for thinking about us and thanks for this video.

@NewtonMakes 3 года назад

Thanks. I wanted to show that we can bang out a pretty nice piece without having to create the most elaborate thing in the world. I have bigger projects coming down the pipe.

@wiseoldfool 3 года назад

Great starting point for people to create their own unique version. Much easier than starting with a blank canvas, so to speak. Even in a batch, each tray could be a bit different. Still a big time saver making a batch.

@NewtonMakes 3 года назад

There's a ton ways to go with this. I wanted people to see a tray that didn't have store bought handles. This uses wood to customize it.

@wiseoldfool 3 года назад

@@NewtonMakes Even very simple store bought handles are quite pricey here in Australia, so making your own saves you money, looks way better, and the making is satisfying in itself. Way to go!

@jeffruffing2316 3 года назад

I have to be honest here. When I first saw the thumbnail on my 72” tv, I thought this was a bed. Once I viewed the video and saw it was a serving tray, I was still impressed because you showed an alternative to handles rather than store buying or cutting into the board to form handles. Good job

@NewtonMakes 3 года назад

That would be a cool bed. Now I want one!

@jeffruffing2316 3 года назад

@@NewtonMakes You know, your right! So do I

I've been watching a bunch of videos on making serving trays and this one really stood out to me. I want to make one as a wedding gift. Have you ever used purple heart?

@NewtonMakes 2 года назад

I've used purple heart several times, but not for a tray. It's a common wood for trays and cutting boards though.

@RonGarofalo 3 года назад

Nice Project. Have you thought of putting cutting the handle brackets on an angle to splay the handles out to compliment your bevel on the bottom of the board?

That's a good idea. Perhaps on the next one.

For the life of me I just don’t understand how guys are making money on serving trays… They simply don’t sell in my area. When I think about it deeper… I don’t even remember the last time I’ve used a serving tray let alone being served anything on a serving tray.

@steveh8724 2 года назад

They're presented as gift ideas, not money-making ideas. You make them and give them away. You feel good. The recipient feels good. And it gets used occasionally. Or it's re-gifted.

First time viewer. Great inspiring video, thanks. Now a subscriber. Did you add any feet to this board? If so what did you use, or would you use?

@NewtonMakes 3 года назад

I didn't but you absolutely could. There are several rubber feet that can be screwed into it so it doesn't slide around.

@ajm5636 2 года назад

I have a dumb question. Aren’t those handles effectively cross grain construction? As the board expands across its width, the handles won’t, but they’re glued in. Did this end up being a problem?

@NewtonMakes 2 года назад

The tray would have to expand a lot to cause an issue. Probably more than possible. At this width and thickness, plus the fact that it's multiple boards glued together, it won't reach that point.

@JB-tb1rq 3 года назад

Awesome project man! Loved you “turning the tables” with it at the end! 1 question, why didn’t you use the dado to cut the brackets for the handles? Think about how fast that would have been? Plus they would have looked cool in slow motion……….

@sigogglin 2 года назад

Before I got into woodworking I did not realize how strong regular wood glue is. You can take a piece and drill and cut on it with it after just an hour or two. For heavy uses 24 hours is best.

@bradleybidois8510 3 года назад

dowels don’t add strength just help with alignment

@ronhochhalter3491 3 года назад

OK , we would all love to hear your explanation behind this comment. A dowel joint is basically a mortise and tenon. Explain to us how an end grain to face grain glue joint is as strong as a mortise and tenon joint? The dowel will increase the tensile strength by at least a couple thousand pounds of pressure. Along with the shear strength that multipliers immensely.
