If I may suggest a feather board mounted vertically on your table saw fence for the down pressure. Also run all of your coasters through your drum sander before you cut them to final size. That instead of all that hand sanding, when you cut them to size all you interrupt is the edge and that you take of with your router. That may be determined by how long it takes you to change grits on the drum sander. Slainge!

I’m one of your newest subscribers. Started watching on your router bowl video, then saw the cutting board video and this one. I love making things and wood is fascinating…especially all the different grains and colors. So beautiful! I still want to work with wood but, after watching these videos, I doubt if I have the dedication to do all the work involved, or the time left to learn to do it even a tenth as well as you do. All of which leaves me wanting to have access to the beauty but unable to be self-reliant. Checking your website, everything is sold out! Bummer!! On the other hand, if I had an idea of when you would be listing new items, it would give me time to piggybank some funds so I could buy one of your functional art piece cutting boards and that would be absolutely awesome. As far as your phenomenal coasters, I totally agree with you about the problem of pricing them for sale. They have a lot more time, effort and raw material value in them than a reasonable asking price would allow. So-o-o, how do I get on your gift list?

I finished a large batch of coasters (non-glue ups) and was curious about finishing options outside of the traditional wax/oil. I’m leaning towards BLO because that’ll give the nice finish and help keep the color popping. As you said, there isn’t a ton of profit so I’m trying to cut my labor if I can. Helpful video! Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Just a thought, but I made a batch of 30 coasters with various scraps and finished with lacquer. To get the lacquer into the wood, and not just a surface film, diluted the lacquer 1:1 with mineral spirits. Two benefits to doing this, 1; the mineral spirits gets absorbed by the wood pulling the lacquer with it and 2; the mineral spirits accelerates the curing (drying) time shortening the finishing time. Another advantage is the mineral spirits help reflow the lacquer to give a very smooth finish.

Love all of your videos, thanks for putting them out. I've made my share of both edge and end grain coasters, and I gotta say that I have yet to find a finish that I think works "great". I even did an experiment with a bunch of coasters that I made (all end grain) and used 11 different finishes, ranging from Danish oil to spar urethane. My problem with the film finishes is that I find glasses/bottles stick to them when they sweat, which can get exciting when they then fall back onto the table with a loud bang. I like the oil finishes better because that seems to happen less, but it doesn't seem to eliminate the problem and they also aren't as durable. I've recently used a mineral oil/beeswax combo that I made for my cutting boards, and that one seems to work fairly well. I think the next one I'm going to try is no finish at all, see how that works. I imagine it will make them rougher over time, but it might eliminate the sticking problem. Anyway, not sure why I felt the need to leave this comment, it might have something to do with the bourbon glass currently sitting on my coaster with a Danish oil finish.

I often debate whether they are worth selling too. I typically will do small batches, for reasons you mentioned, with simple patterns or just one solid wood with something engraved. One main thing i do differently is i sand the full blank after planing, before slicing into individuals. It eliminates the need for a sanding jig. I can hit them quick for a couple seconds of final sanding if i get a mark from sliding on the saw, router, or sander table.

Did you go edge grain? I think a coaster would be a great face grain project. Thanks!

Love this video, but the cross cuts at 8:20 gave me so much anxiety! I cut three fingers off last year due to kickback using almost that exact same technique. Using just the rip fence for cross cuts is asking for trouble. Cross cuts should always be supported by the miter gauge or a sled and the work piece should never be in contact with the fence when making a cross cut. To set up the repeatable cut, attach a stop block to the fence that stops before the blade, so that you can set the length, but by the time the wood makes contact with the blade, it is no longer in contact with the fence. If the fence is out of square by a fraction of a degree or if you're pushing the wood anything other than perfectly straight forward, or even if the vibration of the saw moves the wood a fraction of a millimeter and your grip isn't /perfect/, it'll pull your hand right into the blade. It's not worth the three surgeries, six months of physical therapy, $5500 in medical bills, and a lifetime of significantly limited use of your right hand, trust me.

Then laying THAT piece on its side and cutting them thinner if you want them as accent pieces? Not sure if that makes sense. But anything you can tell me helps. Thank you!

Hey those are very nice. Not sure if you're up for a tip or not.. coasters are one of my biggest sellers. This is just something ya should try sometime. A lot of coasters if you make face or edge grain you get problems with glasses sweating...coasters sticking...and picking up with glass. I have found all of mine are end grain treated with mineral oil...never sticks. Give it a shot. Glue up a block of scraps and cut with a chop saw. Multiple sets at once. And an 80 dollar disk and belt sander combo says no hand sanding. May be more now but I figure ya know what I'm talking about. If ya want to take a look at my coasters let me know. Just a tip. Give it a shot. Be surprised.

Love it. Definitely loads of options and styles. For me, I prefer making them every once in a while as gifts. But totally a great seller for those who go that route. The demand is always super high.

What is the final thickness of the coasters?

I have a few birch wood 4” coasters that have bowed very slightly. What is the best way to flatten them? They are 1/2” thick.

Not much material to work with. Usually I’d say attach them to a sled and run them through the drum sander or planer with thin passes. But you might lose them in the process. Only other option would be to get them wet and then clamp them all together so they dry flat. It might not work, but that’s my only other idea.

Great tutorial, subscribed. The only constructive criticism I have is: wouldn’t it be easier and more efficient to final sand the face surfaces prior to cutting the coasters to size?

Appreciate it. Some do that with success. I just get nicks and scratches throughout the routing steps, and like to be able to sand after routing and hand sanding the edges. Totally a preference.

Wow very Nice I Like I want to make a cutting board I bought Odie's could i soak in Mineral oil then put the Odie's

With Odie’s you usually just want to use it alone. Maybe a second coat. The mineral oil doesn’t really dry or evaporate. The tung oil in Odie’s is going to give that penetration that lasts longer. With that said, you’re probably fine if you did mineral oil first. Just not necessary. The wood whisperer has a great video on food safe finishes and talking about penetration, etc.

Great and very informative, how long do you leave the PolyX before removing the excess and buffing? Thanks Lee

I think coasters, cutting boards, hot pot coasters, charcuterie boards that match are a good idea.

From your experience what do customers prefer natural oil or poly type top coat?
@SixEightWoodworks
@SixEightWoodworks 2 жыл бұрын
It’s such a mix. Really is a toss up, so I’d recommend to go with whatever finish you feel good about with the variables. I’m really happy with the Osmo Polyx with two coats. But again, then it doesn’t absorb. My family who have regularly used the oiled ones for four years love them. The exotics have darkened and they don’t look the same as they started. So trade offs…

Those games were in the old 44-million dollar King Dome. Again...good video on coasters.
