[@larrystone5749]

Good job and project thx for sharing Keep building

[@TimberDesigns]

I plan on it 😁. Thanks for watching!

[@WoodworkingforBeginners101]

Great Job, well done.

[@TimberDesigns]

Thank you very much!

[@johndunn3615]

Well done , nice and simple no messing about. Be watching for your next video.

[@TimberDesigns]

Thanks 👍

[@dogwoodworking]

Your jointer sled is awesome 👏🏼

[@TimberDesigns]

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, 😁

[@jimrosson6702]

Great simple idea thanks for sharing

[@TimberDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tommyteague896]

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... :)

[@TimberDesigns]

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 😁

[@ArtisticEndeavors]

Would be nice to know what you’re making at the beginning

[@TimberDesigns]

Thank you for the feedback. The next videos will be known right at the beginning 😁.

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]

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

[@johntailing5283]

So glad I subbed- simple, neat, and attractive, exactly where I want to go 👍

[@TimberDesigns]

Thanks John, greatly appreciated!

[@wilburrrrr742]

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

[@TimberDesigns]

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 😁

[@Jamesmyatt1313]

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]

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

[@PiercesPerfectPieces]

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]

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 😁

[@jodydoakes8754]

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]

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

[@jodydoakes8754]

@@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.

[@robertonraet6337]

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

[@TimberDesigns]

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]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@TimberDesigns]

A great point indeed, thank you again!

[@bouncer812]

“An easy project” - has a shop with $10,000+ in tools

[@TimberDesigns]

Not quite that much, and a lot of it used lol.

[@JimGrinton]

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

[@TimberDesigns]

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

[@JimGrinton]

@@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.

[@TimberDesigns]

Fair enough
