- In 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?

Sadly us here in the UK cannot make the most of your template
i dont have tools. i like watching ppl make stuff. good on you.
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 your videos! No crazy Festool or expensive tools, just average folk’s work shop.
lol is this sarcasm?
OMG, that is beautiful! I'm so glad you used a corded router too, I hate seeing all this cordless stuff lol
You are an incredible instructor!! So happy I found your series.
Beautiful work! I’m always excited to see your process and finished products. Very inspiring. Keep it up!
You're a godsend for letting me know about router bit extension rods! I was at a loss how to carve deep pockets. That small mention of an uncommon tool saved a lot of headache for me. Thank you!
Stunning piece, Marie! Really beautiful work! 😃
Thanks a bunch for all the tips!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That turned out beautiful Marie! 👍🏻I’ll be picking up one of those templates for sure! 👌Thank you for sharing!
I love your videos, the way you describe each process, each tool and the recommendations, thanks for sharing
That’s great! And you make it look so easy and effortless!
Loving your content Marie; thanks!!!
Brilliant Marie a lot of hard work went into that and it finishes off looking Fantastic.
Take Care and Stay Safe,
Barry (UK) 👍
Really nice serving tray very well explained. Thanks for sharing.
You are a good instructor-clear and concise.
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!
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.
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. 👍
I started making trays today and made the plexiglass router plate. Very important to use the centering cone.
Really nice looking piece! I always chuck those sanding pads in my drill press when I hollow stuff out
Very good work, design, and explanation. U dun good.
Einfach toll. Ich schau Deine Videos sehr gerne und hole mir so Anregungen und Inspiration. Danke dafür
Love it! I know what I'm making for Christmas gifts this year!!!
Very nice, think I will be ordering the template down the road for some winter projects
Thank you, this info was exactly what I was looking for!
Love your work. It became a piece of art 👏👏
Awesome job, it looks great!
Sweet! You made that look entirely too easy - including making that base plate! 🙂
Really nice project. Thank you.
Really good project, thank you!
Really beautiful result, it’s on my list for winter projects. Could be winter 2026 😂
Lovely project, turned out great!
Princess Auto ....my kind of store
Thanks for sharing

excellent job and good narration
Thank You !
Really nice, Marie. Looks great.
Bill
Thanks, Bill!
Very nice....thanks for sharing.
GREAT video Marie. This, again, shows that we do not need all the "tools" and there are work arounds to achieve a wonderful looking product! !! !!!
It looks great
Very well done. You have a knack for explaining things. One point…..nothing removes material faster and easier than a drill bit. For this job I would I would use a 1 inch or larger Forstner bit to waste out most of the material. 🤗
Good scoop. Thank you.
Terima kasih sudah menunjukan cara membuat nampan dengan indah .. salam dari Indonesia ❤
I like the drill press sacrifice slide
Most excellent.
Je viens de découvrir ton channel. Très intéressant ! Merci pour tout les trucs.
Excelente video, muy buena información, Gracias saludos
Very nicely done! I can see these bowls selling at local craft fairs, as if I needed another hobby!
Sorry! Enjoy 😉
Awesome thanks for sharing ❤🙏🏾🤙🏾👍🏾
Really great video(another,) and learned a lot...cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
Ottimo lavoro come sempre
Great video.
You rock!
Superb work. Looks beautiful. Love the accent strip as well. You just got another subscriber!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Very nice.
very informative
That’s awesome! Now I just need to buy a router
You are amazing girl. Great video. ❤😊
Very nice
Excelente video y excelente trabajo. Nombre del accesorios para lijar en el interior. Gracias
love the "your router can do this too!" when 10 seconds into the video you mention needing to use your CNC to cut a template.
Could easily 3d print one too, but either way buying the template is pretty dang cheap
Comments like this are a godsend. I miss seeing the downvotes on videos!
You can purchase templates for like $20-40. This feels like an insignificant portion of the tutorial to call out. If you're watching this kind of content, you most likely have a template in hand or have the need for one and are trying to educate yourself.
Since the sanding disc's from princess probably has a 1/4 inch shaft you can install it in the router and set the depth ti sand the bottom
Cool video
سلمت يداك ربي يحفظكم
Have you considered taking out the bulk of the timber with a Forstner bit? Faster, less dust and less noise. Then using the router.
Cool!
I noticed one of my routers came with a vacuum hose adapter, could be a good idea to make sure your router comes with it when you buy one.
useful.
Beautiful tray. Could forstner bits be used to hog out most of the material & then finish up with the router?
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?
Nice video as always!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. All routers can do this. But what about the person behind it?
The inlay guide bushing does it need a adapter for the Bosch router
It looks like you use the bowl bit to make a curved corner on iside of the trays, can you tell me what you used to sand that curve in the corner?
Thank you
John
Curious how long you let the butcher block oil soak and if you do more than one coat?
“Your router can do this too, you just need a couple bits!”
[first 10 seconds of dialog…] “You’ll need a template. I made this one with my laser cutter.”
Lots of people make their own templates.
That’s is lovely! Watching you find solutions that are better than the initial idea is just wonderful. Do you mind me asking what money you would expect for such a piece?

I really have no idea. I don't usually sell my work and haven't been to many craft fairs lately. I wouldn't know how to price this either... but given the amount of work I'd think anywhere from $80 up to $150 Canadian. Just my guess!
@@DIYMontreal thank you
Bob
Great video...I've ordered the template and I am going to try to make a few of these! One thing that was not in your accessories list were those cool drill bit sanding cones you used to smooth the inside of the tray. Where can I get those??
I got my sanding attachments at princess auto but here's an Amazon link:
amzn.to/3PbUrOS
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?
Great tip I think👍
Would hogging away the inner waste with a forstner bit on the drill press made this a lot easier? Genuine question. I haven't done any of this yet.
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
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.
@@DIYMontreal Thanks for your response I thought so and will explore. It's the router burn marks that give me the most trouble.
What is the top coating you used for
Oh wow! If I buy the template. Can I create some bowl to sell or it's for personal use only?
Thank you!
awesome video, thanks for sharing it! Are you cutting your templates with a laser?
Thanks! Yes I'm using my laser to cut the templates. I have them available for purchase on my website.
Which wood did you use to create your bowl?
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?
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.
I don’t have a router table, can I use just the router to do the edges?
The Tesa tape is outstanding. Been using it for many years and live in fear they'll go out of business or something.
Nice result! I'm curious: when you made the acrylic base, why didn't you use your laser to cut it?
My laser can't cut clear acrylic.
