How to make wood coasters (the right AND the wrong way)
How I made a set of DIY coasters out of spalted alder, and an accompanying holder out of scrap walnut. My first two attempts were...unsuccessful. Third time's the charm, right?

you sure complain a lot Mr. Perfect. Most people would love be able to build those things mate and they cannot do it. I can build anything out of small pieces of wood. Show some gratitude that you can do these things with ease.
Subbed...
Great info but dump the valley girl voice fry.
Thanks for watching! I agree with you on that! I don't normally speak that way but I recorded the voiceover late at night and didn't want to wake up the family. Hushed tones resulted in an unexpected amount of vocal fry! 🤣
@@svenstenberg2124 Ahh! Well, then you are forgiven. 😂. 👍
How did you make the v for the holder?
I think you should shim the bent wood before planing, but looks like it worked out well too. Very nice coasters, sir.
Great video, nice to see I am not the only one that does it a few times before you hit on the right way!
Hmm, I never considered by using Titebond 3 I was going crazy. 🤣😜
What Kind Of Wood Did YouUse?
I love this video thank you It's perfect. For your holder is that molding that you used for the vertical pieces?
Thank you so much! The uprights on the holder were cut from solid pieces of walnut...but using molding like you suggested would be a much easier method! :)
Tung oil or harlem oil (danish) is great.
Using Different Colored Wood That's Cool Too.
I Use A 2x4 & Make Square4 inches Top & Bottom
Nice video! With the oil that you used on your other coasters, did filled glasses stick to the coaster after sitting on them for regular usage?
Thanks! I've only had one of my glasses stick to the coaster but that has more to do with the flatness of the glass itself (and being covered in condensation) than the finishing oil. I always use a drying oil or polyurethane on my coasters now.
Seems like a lot of work for 1 set, but who am I to talk? 😂 They look really nice.
Nah, you're absolutely right about that! It was an absurd amount of work, but to be fair it was quite literally my first attempt. I've since refined the process and I can crank out dozens of sets in a day now! Thanks!
Nice. Good to know what works and what doesn't. How think are the coasters?
Seems to me to be an awful lot of sawing etc just for coaters , considering the price of electric now
Get a 4x4, slice 4 and stain em
Nice 👍🏾
i used old wood and they are irregulalry round which i liked for a natural coaster but then i stained it and all the pretty wood went away so it was a huge mistake
how thick are they?
Excellent
Nice video man
Beautiful work mate great choice of wood and i found you very therapeutic to listen to 👍
I could listen to you talk all day long... Film more please!
This was so satisfying!
Sven's voice is like cake for my ears. Oh.. and nice video 😊
Yours are absolutely beautiful though, 😉
My phone's been listening to me. I just said I would like to make some coasters!! 😲
what kind of bandsaw and planer do you have?
The bandsaw is a random Taiwanese Delta clone from the early 90's I picked up for a song. The planer is a Mastercraft (a cheap Canadian brand) that's surprisingly not terrible...
You practice your video voice hu 😂
HAH! Truth be told, my "video voice" is just me talking in such a way that didn't wake up my wife and kids sleeping down the hall!
Woodworking is a constant learning experience. Thanks for sharing Since you finally went to the table saw to resaw the coasters, how thick did they end up being?
How does the tongue oil hold up to water damage?
Beautiful colors on that splatted wood. Just gorgeous.
Thank you so much! I love that spalted wood too!
Yes, it is - but I wouldn't have made coasters - I would have made wooden pendants with leather thongs... Lots of lovely designs out there.
Imagine using over $5000 worth of machinery to make a $5 coaster
Table saw: $300 Planer: $250 Band saw: $250 Clamps: $50 Your math's a wee bit off there friend-o. If you'd like to supply me with the additional $4150 worth of tools I'd be much obliged. Regardless, since I made this video I've built and sold enough of these sets of coasters to purchase well north of $5K worth of additional tools... ...but go on. 🤣
@@svenstenberg2124 Really wasn't going that deep into it to be honest with you mate, I'm sorry if my comment affected you in such a way that you felt you had to justify yourself, but I will say is $300 for a table saw you got a really good deal there and the amount of work your machines put into making them coasters i would expect them to sell very well highly doubt you sell them for $5 either, I make very similar coasters using hand tools they go for about $10. Anyway nice talking to you and remember if I didn't like your video I wouldn't have left a comment.
You did an amazing job! Thanks for sharing!
You should pay someone with an exciting voice to do your vids. Damn near put me to sleep
Another commenter said he has a soothing, attractive voice. I'm going with soothing and attractive. Maybe it's not his voice that's making you want to go to sleep - perhaps its whatever you've been smoking, snorting or shooting up...
I have done felt on the bottom not a good thing long term. It gets wet and it absorbs milk etc. But you were honest about not doing perfect projects.
using growth rings end grain works well i have found.
Your voice is so relaxing! very insightful video and great editing ! but i wish i had all these tools
Sven, Great Video You should make more videos. Would love to see one of your shop/tools.
I used poly and the surface sticks with a hot coffee. Also the surface has completely boiled up when left in sun. How is tung oil holding up?
Interesting. I switched to a wipe-on poly (that I blend myself) and I haven't had any issues whatsoever with hot beverages or sitting in direct sunlight. I only used the tung oil for this set, but haven't heard any negative feedback thus far.
OR.......just use a 4×4 to make them. Cut, sand, spray, done. Cheaper, faster, most importantly $$$$
I slice it like bread, lol.
Thank you for keeping in the mistakes. Sometimes I feel like my dumbass is the only one that can never seem to plan the perfect project
Very, very, very beautiful... Hunter green... A very nice color. A hunter green Rolls Royce is gorgeous. You chose a great green. Some are terrible... You did well. You tried three times? Big deal. Great job.
Cool.
Great vid Sven. We learn more from our failures that our successes. Now, on to that ASMR, soothing Bob Ross voice over lol. I was waiting for you to say 'there are no mistakes, just happy accidents', but I don't think that applies to woodworking :).
I really appreciate your honesty. Thanks for showing us your mistakes. I sure make plenty
These are awsome. subbed. ua-cam.com/video/x8BCj0UwTx8/v-deo.html
thanks for posting.Looks great.
