Nice project. I like your process for jointing the edges to ensure they align with no gaps. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future jointing.

I has been a long time since I have seen a woodworker hammer nails into wood! Those trays came out "mint" - the kind of tray you would expect on a Michelin restaurant or 5-star hotel. Good start of 2022!

Nice job... splined mitres might have been the go for those corners but hey! Your Design!!! I must have missed how you attached the handles... did you screw right up through the steel tube into the handle parts from the tray??? Doesn't seem much for them to grip onto if that's how you did it. Not an issue for light roads of course! 🙂Sealing the bottom with urethane (poly whatever) is a brilliant idea. Love that beeswax!!!

Hey mate, the trays are doing great. I’ve just replied to comment on another one of my videos. I haven’t had any issues with any of my projects regarding wood movement. I think it may be our climate here in Australia because most of the fear mongering about wood movement seems to come out of the US and Canada 🤷🏻‍♂️

A bit late to the party, but great build, they turned out wonderfully! I've had similar glue staining on bits of Tassie oak, but only on some bits, it couldn't be consistent of course. Seems to me like the glue is pulling something out of the wood. Hope you didn't throw the potentially-innocent clamp away. 😂

No worries Geoff. I think it was rubber off the clamp pad. Must have reacted with the glue. It was all good in the end though because so much of what we do is problem solving.

Hi Justin. No, its the base that was under the treadmill mat when i dismantled it for the wooden 2x72 belt grinder build. its like a super heavy duty MDF with a black coating

With the end framing pieces glued on, don't you run the risk of cracking when the tray needs to expand and contract?

@DownUnderWoodWorks

Жыл бұрын

Technically that is a possibility Jonathon but I've made quite a few pieces where expansion and contraction have not been an issue. i think it might be our climate here in Australia and also when items live inside the house they're not subjected to weather extremes.
