Build Coasters in 10 Minutes! (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

In this video I will show you one of the easiest woodworking projects that you will love for years to come, and you may even be able to sell them: wood coasters! You can use walnut, maple, cherry, or any woods you think will look good together!
in addition to the simple tools I showed, I also used a table saw, planer and router, but these aren't necessary. you can do all of the project by sanding and using a hand saw to square them if you would like 😁.
Note that if your table saw isn't square, do not use your fence as a guide in combination with a mitre gauge. Instead, add a block to your fence to measure the distance before the blade so when you cut the piece is not riding on the fence.

Nice results there. Had me fooled at the beginning though. Paraphrase: "Here's an easy, simple project. Just using a couple clamps, block sander and some scrap wood.." Breaks out $2k in machinery... :)

Thank you! One thing I did forget to mention in the video was that the planer and router can both be replaced with a sander and a saw to square them, but I did add this in the videos description as well 😁

Thanks! It works awesome and it's just 3/4" Birch plywood with dovetail slots for Microjig clamps, super easy to make with a saw and router, 😁

Anyway of avoiding a planer? Got small workshop and only have the basic cordless tools, sander, mitre saw, drills and a few more odds and ends.

@TimberDesigns 3 ай бұрын

If you want to avoid the planer you can simply buy a thinner stock from the local store or you can use a hand electric planer or a sander to bring the thickness down. If you use a sander, you'll have to use a lower grit so that way it takes off more material faster. A belt sander works great for this too

Yeah, yeah.... everybody always has walnut left over from something else.

@TimberDesigns 4 ай бұрын

It was actually left over from a small table build I did a while back, was rare because I don't usually have that much left over 😁

Has nobody commented on you using the miter gauge and rip fence at the same time? You are lucky you didn't have a major incident.

@TimberDesigns 3 ай бұрын

The rip fence was square to the blade by near a thousandth of an inch, with a slight fan out on the back side of the blade, so I knew that it would be fine 😁. If the fence was not square, you would be 100% correct

@@TimberDesigns Regardless of calibration of your equipment, the slightest turn of the cutoff piece and it becomes a missile, and your hand is involved. NEVER do this.

@jamesmyatt8132 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for using the term left over. I really dislike when someone says scraps and it is a nice piece of unused wood. Scrap is just that scraps.

@TimberDesigns 4 ай бұрын

There is no such thing as scrap wood, because even scraps can serve a purpose 😁

@PiercesPerfectPieces 4 ай бұрын

Man you made those things look nice!! Great design with classic contrasting wood choices! 👍💯🎯 Quick question though seeing as how these are hard wood coasters (& will most likely hold drinks/glasses that sweat) do you sand them, then spray some water on them (to raise the grain) then sand them again & then apply finish?? Or just sand them (once) & then apply the finish??

@TimberDesigns 4 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! I did not raise the grain on these ones no. The linseed/beeswax combination typically will seal it well enough that sweating won't affect them, as long as you don't let it pool for long. I have made many before and zero issues 😁

Nice idea and i will really attempt to make them BUT .......VERY irritating music!

@TimberDesigns 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback Robert! I'll make sure to switch up the music. Check out my latest video, I did change the music 😁

@evertkleynhans2617 Ай бұрын

Great idea, however, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw you using the mitre gauge to cut the coasters but had the fence locked down for size. That's begging for a nasty kickback.

@TimberDesigns Ай бұрын

Hey there, thanks for watching! I hear what you're saying there, and I don't do it normally as it can be dangerous, but my fence to blade is perfectly square so it was all good.😁

@evertkleynhans2617 Ай бұрын

@@TimberDesigns Great, however, having spent 40 years in the mining industry I'm kinda paranoid about possible hazards and risks. New guys might not realise how important that square spacing between blade and fence is. Keep up the great vids.

This is supposed to be for BEGINNERS. How many beginners have a thicknesses, table saw, belt sander and a router table? GET REAL!!

@TimberDesigns 3 ай бұрын

Agreed re beginners,, it was an after thought however I did add to the comments about other tools that could be used

@user-ho9ji6sk2l 3 ай бұрын

@@TimberDesigns yes other tools are available, but you state “easy” this would involve a lot of hand sawing, planing and sanding and trimming. Unfortunately a misleading title as are so many.
