Making Inlay Coasters with the Scroll Saw
Вставка

- This is a method for making inlay coasters using four species of wood cut on the scroll saw and shaped with a power sander. Thanks to those from whom I have learned so much about scroll sawing in general and what a good instructional video should be like in particular like, Steve Good, Sheila Landry and Carole Rothman to name but a few.
You can download the instructions with patterns if you want to try this out at: scrollsawnstuf...
Thank you very much from Spain 🤗.
I'm very new to scroll sawing. I watched this video before I had even tried making some cuts on my saw. Until you try it yourself, you don't realize the level of difficulty there is in making a seemingly simple project like this. Deceivingly difficult.
Really nice work.
If you dry set the pattern with the numbered sides up, you can put the glue on the plywood and press it on the dry set pattern in one quick action.
Incredible work
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the pattern and instructions. My wife is into quilts and this will make nice coasters for her.
Awesome idea - using the icecube tray to hold pieces! Good video - thanks!!
Thanks QuincieJMc
Awesome work, i made a similar project a year ago a pizza board with the
UK flag , my father have a pizza restaurant and its big fan of the
beatles so I made that for the fathers day, its a lot of work but the
inlay work its always beautiful
Thanks very much for the kind words. Your pizza board (here's another Beatles fan) as you described it sounds great and I'm sure was well received by your father
Thanks Kristina, Glad you enjoyed it
Love this idea and will try same.I haven't different woods so shall tint them with acrylic ink.Enjoyed the music as I play......best backing I have heard.
@ Maureen Chantry- I hope your idea of tinting works out for you. If so, the possibilities are endless.Thanks for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm
Just completed these wonderful coasters ! much harder to make than you think . If it was not for your step by step instructions i would have struggled. I wish i could send you a photo of them but don't know how to .I don't think you can on UA-cam. Also loved the music accompaniment you are very talented ! Many thanks
So glad you found this useful and rewarding. I myself had the pleasure of figuring it out as I went along. Thanks for your kind remarks. All the best
great video! i like the musical arrangement, too. this is inspirational
@Noneya Bizness All the best in your new ventures in woodworking. Thanks for the kind words
Nice presentation. Thanks for the plans
Love this !! Thank you so much for sharing !!
Point taken Gerald!
I heard you fine...maybe Gerald needs a hearing aid...just a thought ;) Great vid! I love your workshop!! I'm slowly building mine now. I'm not too familiar with most of my new tools, but I'm learning fast while building a desk for my son (and with a lot of tips from my hubby). Almost done, and so far, so good!!
Is there a reason not to just take the glued base and press it down on the pre-assembled pieces, so all attach at once? Pre-assemble on a thin backer board so parts won't fall off when inverted? Some may slip out of alignment, but can be adjusted in just a few second, I would think.
This is one great video
Could you please give me a Link for the spraycan which you used for the finishing
Nice project. One Question. Why starting the second one you with 4, 5,6 instead on 1,2,3. Isn't it the same pattern?
123 should become 234.
Another question. When you glue the 4 pieces together, do you alternate the grains or run the grains the same direction?
Love the coasters! My question is when you have the dry pieces assembled why wouldn't you just take your round piece with the glue and just place it on top of the dry fit pieces on your table as apposed to placing each individual piece on the circle piece.
@Scott's Woodworkin' Stuff -I see your point. I feel that I have more control over the final outcome of the pieces fitting more tightly together by this way of nudging them together while the glue is still setting.Thanks for the comments
Oh I see your point. I really meant Instead of taking the time to pick up piece by piece, after I put the base on the parts, I would then organize them more tightly. But still it wasn't a criticism. Just a question is all. You are very skilled.
@Scott's Woodworkin' stuff.Thanks again for your suggestion. I'll try it out when I do another batch
Have you done another batch? Did it work?
Very nice project but one must have lots of patience! I agree with the idea of dry fitting then placing the glued base on them. It seems that would give you even more time to move pieces into a tight fit. Only other comment is I’ve never see coaster that thick !
beautiful coasters and the making is very well explained in the video. thanks for sharing. your showed a lot of patience. i was surprised your cut everything single piece, there stack of four, separately. i would expect to see the straight lines cut trom iné side to there other in one run. what is the reason to not do that?
Can the project be done with a band saw instead a scroll Saw or will the wider cutting lines cause problems?
Oh..I saw the music title..great job.
Lovely idea, very nicely explained. But (& this isn't criticism) do try to keep the video as short as possible by speeding up wherever possible. Helps to retain the viewer's attention and interest, especially in this kind of video which needs meticulous explanation and demonstration. Here, you could have shortened the video by speeding up (6x, 8x?) the sanding portions and such. And yes, I've subscribed, and hope to learn a lot from you.
Sanjoy: This video is only 24 minutes long. I feel it is important not to make a tutorial and turn it into an abbreviated text message. For those, like myself, who may be newbie woodworkers, l think this is an excellent tutorial (this isn't criticism). He held my attention for the entire 24 minutes.
Sanjoy, learn to find the arrow on your keyboard to speed up parts of the video. It is not the scroller's task always.
Magnificent, splendid
Very nice!
Subbed and liked. Do you have any tips for a newbie at scroll sawing? Maybe something simple to start with? Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Chris. Perth Western Australia.
I have searched for the directions and pattern and cannot locate it. Will you please direct me to where they are?

@@trethtower THANK YOU! I cannot wait to make these.
@@doannad.1518 You're most welcome. Have fun.
Very nice job. Both coasters and the video. What make is your disc sander? I'd like one like it.
Thanks for your efforts. I will try this project soon.
Thanks Ray. Hope you get to try it. Have fun.
You forgot to add the brand of disc sander you own.
Very nice video.Btw, what's the name of the background music??
Thanks for the great video. I made a set of your coasters and used Krylon spray clear. I found that hot coffee / Tea mugs stick to the coasters even after three months of use. Have you had that problem. Thanks Jim
@jim0777 I'm glad you found the video useful. I used Polyrub, which is an oil-varnish mixture which seems to have worked well as far as preventing hot items sticking. The Krylon is an excellent product I use all the time on boxes etc., but since it is acrylic based, I believe that is where the problem lies. I've also heard that an epoxy based coating works really well to protect the wood against heat and is very stable, but it does require some mixing, and more work in its application. Hope this helps. All the best.
Hi Robert. I tried to download the pattern to make another set of coasters. www.the sound board.com by copying and pasting, Is the site closed as I cant download from it. Thanks Jim
Hi Jim0777. I' ve updated the link for the pattern download. it should work now.
Hello Robert
As of now, thesoundboard.com domain is for sale. Is your pattern posted anywhere else?
Just saw this (SAW this. NO pun intended). Surely after the first coaster, replacing 1,2 & 3 with 4,5 & 6 is kind of redundant. All you did was technically just turned the coaster, the pattern is the same.
Nice work though.
Nice video. I would not even use a base - or a very thin one, glue and waterproof coat it as is.
@ Dr. Ron. Thanks. I would be concerned with relying only on the edge-gluing of the pieces to maintain the strength of the coaster. So yes, at least a thin base for support.
If you have something to say turn off the noise so we can hear you.
Great video ....ditch the music :/
Musc drives me crazy whilst talking
