Really cool, too bad I don’t have a planer, they look very clean!

You could make these without a planer. Just start with lumber the same thickness you want your final coaster to be. Thanks for watching!

Good job. I highly recommend a good microphone for a better quality sound

Thank you! I now have a mic and I think it has made a huge difference (but let me know what you think). I think this was the last video I made before I got a mic. Thanks for watching!

Couple of questions. What else could you use to seal the wood? i.e. a clear varnish or lacquer? Can you apply that AFTER the beeswax/oil mix? Tyia!

Great questions! Any type of oil based finish will work great. Just don’t use a water based finish (like polycrylic) because water will eat at the finish. And of course since it is a coaster, it will be exposed to water. I always apply wax last. The wax is less about sealing the project and more about giving it a great feel. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes when you make your own coasters!

How do you make that coaster finish? Im thinking of getting into making coasters as a hobby, this was a great video full of great information thank you

How long does the glue take to cure?

@Ben_Grimsley

Күн бұрын

I think it takes 24 hours to completely cure, but you can usually start working with it after 4-6 hours. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing, would hot glue work in place of double sided tape. Thanks

How much do you sell them for?

@Ben_Grimsley

3 ай бұрын

I usually sell them for $5 each. At craft shows, I sometimes throw in a set of two coasters if a customer buys a more expensive cutting board. Hope this helps!

What price range do you sell the basic set for?

@Ben_Grimsley

2 ай бұрын

Usually $20-$25 for a set of 4 coasters. I would up this to $30 if I include a holder. Hope this helps!

@@Ben_Grimsley Awesome, I have 4 very old oak 6' long true 4x4"s that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. I want to cut and seal them but try and preserve the natural patina. Thanks for the direction.
