Making a Wooden Platter/Plate

During a pub meal earlier this year, my sister's burger arrived on an intriguing 'square plate' made out of wood and I immediately received a request to make one! This was completed in time for my mother's birthday and it's made from a single board of American cherry.
...What I don't mention in the video is that we also returned to that same pub on several occasions 'to take further measurements'... And if course, to try their deserts!! ;-)

Nice project, you must have great patience to do all that routing! And it must have made a lot of chips. I really like the way you left the island in the middle.

@OllyParryJones 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much, John. Yes, it certainly took a long time and created a lot of mess... Followed by all the work necessary to tidy it up. ;-) Leaving the island in the centre was an example of thinking ahead; without it, my task would've been much harder. Thanks for watching. Olly

@Juan Iracheta In the UK, we have 'surfacing' cutters - though I'm not sure what they may be called elsewhere. Ideally, you would want the largest radius cutter , to ensure a cleaner finish and also, to reduce the time spent machine. Thank you, I'm glad you liked my video and I hope this helps. :-)

@OllyParryJones 10 жыл бұрын

Hi Marty and thank you. Yes it is indeed; the five power tools in one. But I recently sold it as I wasn't using it (I only took it off my dad's hands to stop him throwing it in a skip).

Haha, thanks Wilf! I am thinking of making another for my own use, because mum's still 'afraid' to get this one dirty! American cherry is dearer than English oak. I think that one board (approx. 5ft x 8in x 1in) was almost £12 + VAT (I payed slightly less with the show discount though).

@OllyParryJones 10 жыл бұрын

The board of cherry I used here came from Yandles in Somerset. I use Interesting Timbers (north of Wells) for native hardwoods and Oscar Windebank (over in Box) for others. I have a couple of local timber merchants for the supply of reasonable softwood. Where are you based, Steve? Thanks for subscribing, too.

Really nice end result! For the next one, maybe run a dado through from one side to the other then add / glue two remaining side pieces. For the bottom...I don't know...maybe find a 10" forstner bit! Haha!! Seriously, great effort and nice piece!

@OllyParryJones 8 жыл бұрын

+woodstoney Thank you very much! :-) Yes, I'd definitely look to do it another way next time... Your suggesting is a perfectly valid one and I know there are multiple ways it could be done (even without a CNC). I'm glad you like it as it's become one of my most successful videos.

Great, wondered why you would cut into strips and glue it again? You said it’s more secure?

@OllyParryJones 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kathryn, I felt it would be more stable, less likely to cup or warp. A flat wide board would be more prone to distorting and no longer sitting flat. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

Beautiful work. Only thing I noticed was when you were plunging you were routing counterclockwise on the inside of your workpiece. I’m assuming you felt the edge guide want to steer into you. When routing outside of the piece counterclockwise... when inside clockwise.

@OllyParryJones 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you and you are correct. I would only have done this if I was concerned about chipping and breakout when cutting across the grain. Thanks for your conment and for watching.

@carolwilkinson9688 Жыл бұрын

This is lovely but why use a router instead of hand carving? ❤

@OllyParryJones 11 ай бұрын

I didn't have many carving tools and would've felt intimidated at the prospect of working such a large area. I liked the idea of using a router and already had the kit. Thanks for watching.

After seeing the amount of work routing I think I’ll make a picture frame with rounded corners and glue that to a thick base.

@OllyParryJones 4 жыл бұрын

Good luck with your project and thanks for both watching and your comment. One thing to consider if using a solid wood base is that it will want ti expand and contract across its width, where as the frame on top will not. All the best.

Thank you, Joel! It was a food-safe finishing oil from Chestnut Products. I think it's a light mineral oil.

How did you attach your router to the plexi glass? Thanks!

@OllyParryJones 9 жыл бұрын

meredith moran I'm pretty sure I drilled a hole in the plexiglass that was the same diameter as my guide bush and that was all it needed. In the past, I would remove the plastic plate underneath the router and screw it on directly. But using the guide bush is much quicker and simpler. ;-)

@alexyoungcarpenter4208 4 жыл бұрын

what is the oil that you use ? coconut oil or olives oil or what ?

@OllyParryJones 4 жыл бұрын

It might be known as light mineral oil. Apparently you can buy something similar from a pharmacy. Alternatively, Tung Oil is food-safe but will also darken the timber.

@manimaran522 8 жыл бұрын

hey, What did you use to give it a finish ?

@OllyParryJones 8 жыл бұрын

Hi, it was sold in the UK as a 'food safe finish' but it's essentially light mineral oil and is definitely food safe. Tung oil is also food safe but tends to darken lighter woods.
