I was feeling it!

Making a pizza peel for my buddy who recently got a backyard pizza oven. Used scrap wood for the project. The handle is made out of rosewood. The accent strips are maple and the outer pieces are walnut. Piece measures 27" total. The handle is 11" and the area for the pizza is about 16" x 12.5". The width was dictated by what would fit through my planer and I based the other dimensions off of some information I got from builds. Thanks again Mike! There are some problem areas particularly around the handle but ultimately I'm very pleased with the results so far. Next steps will be to put a taper on the front of it in order to get under the pizza and of course sand and finish.

Finally finished making this walnut and maple cutting board or cheese board or whatever you want to call it.

Was completely unsure on the design but after making these two smaller boards I put them together and loved this little river pattern that it made in the middle. A happy accident for sure.

Trimmed down the two pieces so that I'd be able to fit it through my 13" planer and then glued them up. As always I used my favorite finish - and let it soak all night long.

Side note - I've begun doing this in a foil pan and I've loved the results especially with how simple it is to do. When you're done you just pour the excess back in to the bottle and you're ready to roll with minimal waste. This board was a little too wide for full submersion but still worked out fine on the over night soak resting on the pan. Just a little tip for something a came across recently.

Throwback Thursday to this scrap wood project I made a few years back for my bike.
A lot of you may know that transporting beer safely is very near and dear to my heart. Nothing worse than showing up somewhere with all of your beers broken, am I right?
A wooden craft diy build project was born. This crate has come in very handy over the years and successfully transported millions of gallons of unbroken beers!
Cheers 🍻

Woodworking tip ⬇️
Here’s a little tip for making sure the hardwood you are using is nice and strong for your project.
Often times you can see the checks or imperfections on the end of the board but they can run quite far into the board itself undetected.
Here’s a method to make sure you’ve made it to the good part.
Each step requires cutting off about an inch or so off the end to test with. We used our Ridgid miter saw for this.
1. Try breaking piece by hand
2. Bang it flat against a horizontal service which will cause any checks to break even further. Try breaking by hand again.
3. Drop flat on ground and try breaking by hand again.
Once it passes all those tests it’s good to go. 👍
Some wood is better than others but in this instance, with some red oak, we lost 13.5” off the end! 😳😳
Sorry for the long caption but if you somehow made it this far start your comment with. “Hey now!”

So back Saturday. ⬇️ (Is that a thing?)
PHK and I made this little scrap wood escape puzzle prototype awhile back. The puzzle itself is called The Wit’s End and the object is to get the ring, which is seemingly trapped, off the pillar itself.
We re-made it with a little bit better dimensions. The ring on this one was way too big but it was still a very fun little wooden toy scrap wood project.
FAQ: I did not pay him to help me with this project. He did not do this project out of duress. He actually enjoys woodworking with his dad, me.

Guess he likes inside out shirts and socks in slides. 🤷‍♂️ . Is it just me or did this guy look almost exactly like Bradley Cooper?!

Cedar farmhouse planter ⬇️ . PHK and I finished making these little cedar farmhouse planter boxes. It was a super fun little woodworking project and we will definitely be making some more. Not sure if we will apply a stain yet or not. Sometimes when cedar patinas it just ends up looking more dirty than anything so we’ll see 🤷‍♂️. . . . . . #woodworkingproject #woodenplanter #cedarplanter #farmhousestyle #farmhouseplanter #planterbox

I don’t think they noticed 🤷‍♂️

Quick build video of PHK and I putting together some panels for a farmhouse style cedar planter box we’re making. Made this little diy woodworking project out of some cedar fence pickets which are insanely cheap right now. Once the panels were made and screwed together we put some X’s across them to give them the whole farmhouse feel. . My wife didn’t like the design of another one we made so hopefully she’ll like this one. 🤞 . . . . . #buildvideo #planterbox #farmhousestyle #woodworkingprojects #diywoodworking

Skeet skeet!

This was definitely a fun little cutting board or serving tray or cheeseboard (or whatever you want to call it) that I made last year. . Made it out of walnut and maple for an auction my son’s baseball league had. Glued up my strips first and then cut them at an angle on either side. Re-cut out the strips and then alternated them back and forth to make that 3d Chevron pattern. . Pretty easy to make when it was all said and done and only required 2 different glue ups. The first time I made one of these it was by complete accident but I liked how the Chevron pattern looked so I made this one on purpose. 🤣 . . . . . #walnutandmaple #cuttingboardsofinstagram #cheeseboards #servingtrays #cheeseboardsfordays

Dust collection on your miter saw got you down? 🤬 . My dust collection was almost non-existent on mine. I kept meaning to make a hood but it was one of those shop projects I never got around to. Saw a few people that upgraded their chute and thought I’d give it a try. . Cannot believe I didn’t do this sooner. I would say, based on a few test cuts that it is catching 99% of the dust now with this new one. I would highly recommend this upgrade to anyone considering it or frustrated like I was with the dust going everywhere. . Got this one from @benchtopwoodworks on his Etsy page. This is not sponsored in the least but if you’re having the same problem he has a bunch of different ones for different saws. Also, it looks like he has just the files if you want to print it out yourself. . Happy mitering 👍 . . . . . #dustcollection #shopproject #mitersaw #shoporganization

Where did it go though? 🤷‍♂️

In honor of my daughter’s birthday here’s a little woodshop safety hack or tip for gearing up in PPE. I always used to forget to tie her hair back and this method really cut our times down. . Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone and of course happy 11th birthday to my daughter. ❤️ . . . . . #safetytips #shophacks #woodshoplife #ppe

And I wonder why I never get anything done 🤷‍♂️. I got high score though so there’s that! . . . . . #workshoplife #garagewoodshop #localwoodshop #supermariomaker

Cherry and maple brick and mortar cutting board ⬇️ . Making and donating this edge grain serving tray (or cheeseboard or whatever you want to call it) for a fundraiser coming up. Used cherry for the brick and walnut for the mortar strips. This is done in two glue ups. The first one is done lengthwise with the brick and mortar strips. Once that is done I ripped the pieces width wise and then rotated them end to end to get that brick pattern. The second glue up is done with those ripped strips and then putting in another strip of maple in between each piece. Put a slight chamfer on top or bottom and may or may not be adding feet as well. Still deciding. 🤷‍♂️ . I’ve made several of these over the years but this is the first one that wasn’t walnut and maple. Personally I like the way that the lighter color looks and the different tones of the cherry wood once finished. Pretty sure I’ll be doing it like this moving forward as well. . . . . . #cheeseboards #cherrywood #cuttingboards #servingtrays #brickandmortar
