Making a Cake Plate

[@rayscrafield2106]

Very nice job. I was going to ask about your finish but you explained it in the end. Thanks for another interesting project.

[@jahellen]

Thank you!

[@pierrefortier1096]

one of your recipes your mineral oil and beeswax finishing product? if so what and your ratio. Thank you

[@jahellen]

I pretty much eyeballed it, but I think it was 3 parts mineral oil to 1 part beeswax.

I know when gluing boards side by side you should run them through a jointer. If I am gluing them say on top of each other,should I run them through a planer? BTW I love your video's! Thanks!

[@jahellen]

You definitely want the flattest gluing surfaces possible. A planer is ideal, but a face joiner or even a table saw will also work. The boards I used had already been surfaced, so I didn't have any worries there. Thanks for watching!

Are you located in the Tucson, Arizona area?

[@jahellen]

More or less. A bit less than more, though.

[@dieterspiller8368]

@@jahellen The reason I'm asking is I will be in Tucson February and March, mostly cycling but thought it would be good to meet a fellow scroller.

[@jahellen]

I'm an hour plus outside of Tucson....

@@jahellen Where? We like to drive around and explore different areas, Tubac, Bisbee, etc. If you don't want to meet, that's OK. Just thought it would be interesting to meet you after watching your videos.
