Love your content. Always learn something and really enjoy the way you present the topic. Especially the way you always provide options for tools at different levels of woodworking skill/commitment/engagement/investment however one wishes to quantify it, you provide options. A great way to present to a wide audience. And above all, as always, beautiful work. Love the channel.
Appreciate this so much! That really is my intent and goal. Thanks for your support!
I couldn’t agree more. This is my go-to channel. The best on RUclips, in my opinion!
Man. I had no idea juat how much work goes into making a bowl. Really impressive. Great work. Great video. Thank you for taking the time to share.
I'm very impressed with your channel! Found it back in the spring when I was looking for information on trellises for my garden and became a subscriber after watching that video. Your presentation is straight forward. You are an excellent instructor. I began my woodworking journey after retirement and have learn so much from your content. Well done, keep "em"coming!👍. Of course now I see two "MORE" router bits I need to add to the collection after watching this video.🤣
😁 I appreciate that so much! Thanks for your kind words and have some fun with sawdust!
Hey, I have to tell you, you are a great teacher. I watch a lot of diy, and you are astonishingly good. Thanks for these video.
I’ve been doing woodworking and movie construction for about 4 years, and this is hands down one of the best RUclips woodworking videos I’ve ever seen!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

I’ve watched your whisky barrels to chopping board video a few times since which I bought for 54gallon barrels I’ve broken them down to staves and cut out the central belly bit of each Steve so far. All down to watching the said video
I'm just discovering how powerful routers are and this video was really useful for me - thanks.
Really inspiring. Love your teaching style. Subbed.
Notwithstanding that backwards ball cap (high school is over) your video was very good. Thanks for sharing, Steve.

Well done sir. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
In your video above, at time stamp 13:14, we can see you utilising a router guide plate made from acrylic/plexiglass. It would be great to see you make a short video showing how you made this, and the advantages of such. I know loads of people who would love to watch it. And I'd be able to link people to your video instead of trying to find a way to describe it. I reckon you'd get loads of views! Love your videos. Well done 🙂

At about 13 min in he goes over making the templates.
That was just fantastic. thank you so much.I will be doing some of that very soon.
Julien Lamarche.
Have fun!
I love your Tshirt!!!
Thanks!
This is brilliant! So informative! Yes I also wish there was a way to save some of the wood - a separate base? Think I’m commenting on the wrong video though😅
Great job I joy watching
Thank you!
EXCELENTE TRABALHO; LINDAS PEÇAS:

Great little unit!
بسیار زیبا 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm manufacturing my CNC Router, I want to produce beautiful pieces like these... congratulations, the pieces are really beautiful.....

Great information. I've been subscribed before but for some reason I haven't seen any of your videos pop up. Will have to go check things out.
Thanks, another great video. Go Kraken!
Thanks! Go Kraken!
I have a rectangular piece I’ve laminated and would like to hollow it out, thank you so much!
Big like ❤
Peças muito bem feitas e lindas parabéns, 👋👋👋👋Vc ai tem aceso a ferramentas boas mais fácil aqui são muito caras. abraço.
I love that you give options on making products! Do you ever get tear out from the router? If so what do you recommend to prevent this?
For sure. Small “bites” with incremental depth is the best way to avoid it. Some species are more prone to tear out too. But inevitably I have to patch with some CA glue or do extra sanding/shaping.
hi there, i randomly saw this vid on the side of my page there.. and thought mm whats this?.. all i call see was wood and patterns. i was pleasantly surprised. i wish i could do that. but.. my hands.. sigh. but now i want to buy ur products. i am about to check out your link. thanks for sharing. also nice to see some money goes to some charities. lovely. :) by for now, from Australia. :)
Great site .Learned a lot thank you.When you do your glue ups how thick you make your blanks. On YT it looks like 3" think. Is 2" a good thicknell or to thin
You left out one of the best options for sanding and a great finishing wax...Acks Wood Pastes LLC is number one in the USA! Do not have to sand over 320, the abrasive paste on a small drill buffer will sand and seal, then we add the most carnuba wax possible, NO varnishes and have to wait till it cures. We were just featured by the gang at This Old House magazine finishing a table top and using both. 50 years of TV cant be all wrong...beautiful trays and bowls your making!!
Meraviglioso
Hey man I really like your stuff. I was just wondering why you didn't use the original template (that you used for the inside) to route the outside of the tray with the flush trim bit? Was it that you wanted the walls of the trays to be thicker than the template would have given you? Thanks.
I was also wondering, about the plexiglass that you use on your router. did you center or offset the router?
time to try out CNC!
💖💖👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 Braavvooo pak kesan kayu yang memukau 👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗👍👍 salam sukses untuk anda💖
nice
What kind of hardwoods did you use for the square tray other than Purpleheart
You had me at 'its kinda sketch but sometimes we do sketch things'
😁😁😁
you are exceedingly skilled. I have copied you and sell here in Thailand. thank you for your advice... i am an old English guy. I JUST RECEIVED AN ORDER FOR 10 OF YOUR PIECES.,to be delivered to a 5 star hotel in Bangkok.due to the average wage of $16 for 8 hours work i can only sell at a very modest price, but thank you.
That’s great to hear!
Круто! Не все понятно, но почерпнул много нового.
I see you have a ridgid sander. Do you have issues with the drum sanding sleeves slipping on the rubber when you put any pressure against sleeve
To conserve material you could use your band saw to create veneers, then jigsaw out the middle. Then laminate the pieces together and finish with a flush trim bit. This would eliminate the hogging out step with the drill press and save a ton of time and material. Ultimately this is a different process and therefore will yield a slightly different end result.
For sure. So many more options and possibilities.
