This is how to make plywood pattern coasters

- This is how I made my round plywood coasters with chevron pattern. All you need is plywood, a saw (preferably a table saw), glue and sandpaper.
There are many patterns you can create with plywood, the chevron pattern is one of the simplest. But even if it is a simple pattern you can create many different patterns. I chose 45 degrees, but you can make it in other degrees too. You can also do as I did with these and vary the size of the different cuts to vary the pattern.
I treated these with a countertop oil thus making them food safe. But you will not eat from these so you can use whatever you want. Varnish is probably a better choice in relation to moisture from the glasses.
If you choose to make these or something similar, please send me a message as I would like to see what you are inspired to create.

TOOLS I DID USE
Jigsaw
Table saw
Clamps
Mouse sander
Wood Glue
Sandpaper
Thx for inspiration. Just one remark. Cutting disc has to be set much lower as far as I know. It is dangerous going like this. Look for some tutorials about table saw.
Thanks for the tip, I learn all the time. good that you were inspired by this video, I hope you share if you make something similar
@@RepRevMake I am newbie in woodworking with rather DIY table saw but fully useful. I am more focused on CNC hobby carving but the same situation - a bit advanced newbie. All the best.
This is a nice project. Your safety concerns me. You had a wobbly table saw (bad) and your hands and fingers were way too close to the cutting blade (very bad). It is very important for you to show the utmost in safety as people see this and replicate. If you aren't cautious enough in your video, others certainly won't be. Other than all that, your pieces turned out very nice. Thanks!
Thank you for liking this, and thank you for thinking about my safety. Fortunately, everything has gone well so far and I have become better at thinking about safety and I have made an update on my table saw so that it is much more stable now. A video of this will be coming soon.
Nice woodworking project.
It scares me up the way that you sliced the piece. Your hands are too close to the riving blade. See minute 15.
Thanks :) I know, I've become a lot more careful now. But luckily I still have all my fingers safely in place.
After watching this, I hope you still have all your fingers and no other injury's. Gloves and long sleeves are not a good combination with a table saw.
Luckily still have them, I agree with this but I also agree with another woodworker here on youtube who said it's better to work with warm fingers with gloves than cold fingers without gloves on a table saw. So in those cases where it is very cold I will still wear gloves but I know the risk and will be even more careful near the blade.
6:44 yikes!
Thanks for your comment, hope you liked the end product? :)
I did absolutely. What kind of plywood did you use? I’m trying to something like this myself, but the plywood I have access to is all junk. I can’t get Baltic birch around where I live and I hear that is the best stuff to use
I use the cheapest plywood boards I find where I live. These are slabs that are intended to be used as formwork for masonry. The reason I use these is because they are cheap and have many layers. I think these are made of several varieties of wood, but for these it does not matter as I think it gives them a more interesting pattern. So if I were you I would find the cheapest plywood boards with many layers. Since you only use the edge of the plywood boards, the plywood boards do not have to have a nice surface, so you can use cheap boards for this type of project.
Nice product but, but I cringe at the lack of basic safety. No blade guard. Hands too close. Blade set about two fingers too high. Cutoffs squeezed between the blade and fence waiting to rocket out. Reaching into the blade with a plastic stick. Dude, be more careful so you can have more 10 finger videos. ✌🏻
Thank you for liking these coasters. Fortunately, I still have all my ten fingers, but I have become more careful after receiving many good tips from all of you who are so kind to give me these tips. Thanks again!
the music...ugggh
I know :) I am using better music now, at least I think the music I use now is better :D I hope the video inspires you to make these or something similar?
