this is one of my favourite April W. projects ever.

Nice work

Laser working is awesome 😎

Holy moly ,you can start to produce DIY sets in several type of woods to those who bulding model planes or boats

Nice. Just wish I had a laser machine.

Pretty Neat Tray!!!

That's awesome April

Great Dutch beer on a beautiful Texas tray!

I just came across your channel by looking for how-to concrete countertop videos...then this was posted while watching Outdoor Kitchen Part 6! As a web map developer and completely noob woodworker, I am in LOVE with this video. Subscribed, liked, notified!

Looks great very nice 👍. Thanks 😊!!

I love Canyon Lake!! I spend time there often!

Beautiful

I'm from Temple Texas! Hello!!

I LOVE CANYON LAKE! I was stationed at Randolph AFB in 1985-88. We used to camp and rent boats at Randolph Recreation Park!

@@AprilWilkerson how much did the graphic designer work cost you to make the lake map file?

Looks good!!

Love it!

We can only watch and drool with envy with some of these projects for the past 2 years. Can't afford any of these CNC, Glowforge etc. This is very entertaining and informative though if not practical like what you used to craft.

Many enjoy my Channel who don't do woodworking at all, but view it to see what I'm up to next. The entertainment factor. I still use drills and saws but view the CNC and Glowforge as just another tool in my Shop that has its uses.

Thanks for sharing April. The tray turned out great. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👋👋

What a great idea! Now if I only had April's workshop I could make my own lol. Seriously, I love this idea!

Beautiful work April. Love it!

It’s called a laser. You don’t need a glow forge brand. There are many others on the market for less money.

This looks so cool! I grew up on the Trinity River and I’ll have to keep this in mind.

That turned out really great! I am a GIS Analyst professionally and LOVVVVVE anything map related! Nice work, as always April!

Tray came out great. Lasers are great thing to have, but unless you're well off and like play with wood, or you're trying to start a business, which probably wouldn't start with a $6000 laser that I have to learn how to use, or expand your business, it's just a cool tool I wish I had. Already have a CNC router that I haven't quite mastered yet. It would be nice though, and the discount is a good thing!

Awesome as always (but a wind screen would be helpful)

April this looks fantastic. I'm surprised you didn't do your famous happy dance lol. Keep the great videos coming Thanks for sharing and God bless

Turned out great April, looks awesome! 😍👍🏻👊🏻

Excellent idea 💡 congratulations

Use it to make a sign for your pavilion

Hi April, I stand amazed! You have such incredible skills, and your serving tray is a work of art, it's so beautiful, I'd hang it on my wall as a showpiece! This laser technology, is something else! A great entertaining video, and I love your commentary💗🌹

Awesome project. In addition three things I like in the same video: woodworking, April Wilkerson, and LASERS (frikin lasers LOL)

Cool. It almost looks like a Lichtenberg Figure :)

Cool tray!!!

Nice tray and a perfect way to serve that beer from the Netherlands. Enjoy.

Your skills are constantly growing.Fun to watch!

Very nice piece of equipment, also those are gonna look great in the outdoor kitchen!!!! I use to visit Canyon lake when i was younger!!!!

Interested!!! Keep posting your progress. I can't wait to see where you go next with this journey.

So cool thanks for sharing beautiful.

This is really helpful. I’ve been wondering what to do with my laser.

Love canyon lake and my glowforge! Due for a trip up there.

Beautiful tray and handy engraver.....👍

Love the Dutch beer, the Grolsch bottle between the other drinks on the beautiful tray. Good taste you have 😃

Great project April!

Hello friend,, like woodworking 👍👍👍🤝🤝

Love the tray...thanks to this vid, I now know how to get to the "SHED"...be there soon to visit you and ur mom. BUT, just a suggestion...instead of using screws on the handles, how bout using glued in dowels to secure it....no worries about splitting then. For your mom, I'm her oldest friend on FB.

So the Glowforge requires exhaust ventilation. What do you do with the exhaust?

I love canyon lake. Didn’t know you were from there

Came out great! Without a glow forge, you could do a V Carve with a clearance bit and fill it in with epoxy as well

Are you changing your video release date from Sunday to Friday April? Or is this a bonus video for this week?

Another awesome video

Espectacular April, pero me da mucha pena que poco a poco, por estas fantasticas máquinas, se esté perdiendo la profesión de muchos oficios, y con ello a los grandes profesionales y grandes maestros----

I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and had no idea you were at Canyon Lake! I’ve been teaching at Smithson Valley MS for 14 years. Small world!

Looks like "April and the Last Triton" :P haha

The Glowforge looks like it'd be very useful for cutting out router templates for flush cutting to. The CNC just seems like it's too big and you have to spend a while fastening things down whilst with the Glowforge you just place in the wood and looks like it's done as fast or faster.

Muito top parabéns show de bola 🇧🇷👊👍💯

I wish I had a laser. Id make my self a wicked retirement sign/sign for my nonprofit.

Anyone else think the lake looks similar to the map in the movie 'Raya and the Last Dragon'?

Awesome, did you repurpose the cut-out piece for something?
