Your router can do this too
Рет қаралды 297,886
Күн бұрынIn this video, you’ll see how easy it can be to make bowls and trays using a router. With the right router bits, like a bowl bit, your router can do this too! You can carve any shape or size serving tray or dish. I’ll walk you through all the bits you need to make router trays. Plus, show you how to make a custom router base plate for your router using a sheet of acrylic. Want to make the exact same 4 compartment serving tray that I did?

Marie I was inspired by your very clear step-by-step video. So I got a template and ordered all the router bits. Like you, I was impressed with my results. The acrylic base makes such a difference for removing all the material. Thank you so much for sharing your process. I look forward to more inspiring videos. Also I wanted to let you know that I tried a different finish that came out beautiful. After sanding I used Watco Danish Natural Oil and when it dried I put on two coat of General Finishes Wood Bowl Finish.

Good for you ma'am! You are the very 1st person that takes PPE seriously! And you've answered questions I've had about roughing out pieces that I do. Plus you can use this piece not only as a condiment tray (pickles/olives/etc) you can turn it over and use it as a cutting board. Brilliant. Great job and great piece!

Love those stripes! Another thing that you can do, especially helpful on deeper router bowls, is use a large forstner bit to remove the majority of the waste before routing.

Love this project. Have a blank ready to route out already. Really like the idea of making a larger base plate for the router. So I got the acrylic sheet as you recommended and made one for my router. I modified mine slightly by adding a counterbored hole to fit my guide bushing. Worked out really well. Keep up the great work. 👍

Marie, to maintain flatness/"eveness" with the top of your work surface and the bottom of each bowl surface could you have inserted the Drill Sanding Disc's in the router collet since you have the wide acrylic base plate on your router that way there's no guess work on keeping it all even and flat?
@DIYMontreal 10 ай бұрын
Great tip I think👍
@johnhassan2074 10 ай бұрын
Marie Very nice work. And I appreciate the sequence of bit usage. The small sanding pads/disks; are they flexible enough to sand the contour inside ends or are they just for flat surfaces. This is my biggest challenge-sanding the contour ends. If you or any of your subscribers have any tips I would appreciate hearing them Thanks
@DIYMontreal 10 ай бұрын
The disks are mostly for sanding flat. I did the rounded parts by hand but maybe a small Dremel type sanding attachment could do the trick.

You have inspired me! First, kudos on the excellent editing work putting the video together. Second, asking for a bit of advice or at least input. You are using the Bosch 1.25hp palm router. I see what looks like a smokin' deal from Amazon on the 2.25hp model with plunge base - $30 less than the kit you have linked. Is there any reason to prefer the smaller palm router for this type of work?

Beautiful tray. Could forstner bits be used to hog out most of the material & then finish up with the router?
@dgramsz2146 10 ай бұрын
Great project! One question, would it have been easier to hog out the material with a forstner bit on a drill press first instead of the 6,000 passes with the router?
@DIYMontreal 10 ай бұрын
Maybe. I was afraid I'd go too deep and leave little divots from the tip of the Forstnner bit. Would definetly make deeper bowls that way.
