Oh Tamar, l just watched this without sound as my wife is asleep and l forgot my headphones. Your smile is so lovely and your body language expresses how excited you truly are. What a lovely way to be. The projects were beautiful and something family and friends would be thrilled to receive. Please don't change just keep on being just as you are. So many channels go from fun to commercial and impersonal and lose there charm. Thank you for making me smile.
I feel like a lot of these, if not all of them, could be done in a school woodshop class. I know a lot of people that would absolutely love to make these and bring home.
Excellent! I spent a bit of my time today finishing up my new dust collection and getting it hooked up to my new planer. Then I planed some wood for a toy box I'm making for my niece and I was SO psyched at how well the dust and shavings got sucked up and left my shop clean! Game changing! Can't wait to get some more project time in tomorrow!
@@3x3CustomTamar I really can’t wait! i have a ton of issues with cheap tools I started diy projects with. Squares that are not square. tape measure that turns out is half inch off. my table saw… well… I poured epoxy on top of it to make it flat. Then had to raise the fence cause it was no longer able to slide over extra layer of epoxy… So yeah… I almost gave up at some point.
Haha. Funny story. I went to go fill it with stuff for pictures and I didn’t have any appropriate food in the fridge so I just added stuff for color like clementines 😂
I've come back to this video often because I love these projects so much, especially the trays. I'm in a bit of an quandry lately as I've noticed how much wood is wasted (obliterated) in so many projects on youtube, rather than cut out. Routing out those trays would waste so much more wood so I prefer the way you did it. I hope I will eventually find some good solid wood to make these with. Btw my woodworking adventure started with your side table, it's been a great journey learning with you!
To cut angled baguettes, pick a cut on one side and one several spaces down on the other. Set your guide to match that angle and add those cuts with the saw.
As always very useful presentation. I'll certainly be making the scoops for the garden. Incidentally, for the bagette cutter I have in the past cut hollows on the table saw. Just set a fence to an angle to the blade and carefully cut in small steps. I've cut to an inch deep but you could go to the depth of the saw blade if you take it carefully. You can also make parabolas if you set the blade to an angle too. Keep up the brill work.
For feet, and only using wood, you might consider saving some corks from wine bottles and cutting them into thinner discs. Attach them by drilling a hole of the same diameter and a bit of glue.
I had that thought as well. One caution I thought of is that if the feet were put at the far corners, it would be fairly easy to lean on the center and break the t&g joint so maybe putting them under the corners of the main board would be a better idea. Then orient them so that if an overzealous child leaned on the cracker side, it would roll and the worst that would happen is spilled food, not a broken tray.
I follow you for several years and you are great. It makes a lot of fun watching your videos and the content is super. Great to found you on you tube. Thanks for making my life enjoyabler.
This is super legit. You're incredibly talented. Especially with reasonable tools and suggestions for when you don't have those more advanced tools. Great work!!
Your skills are really, really impressive. I have to share your channel with my students. Great, excellent, wonderfull. After searching hundreds of channels where I can learn and learn, your channel is the best. Your explanation is not ostentatious, it is like the way a lecturer is teaching her apprentices.
I've started doing fund-raiser projects like that for my community theatre. I don't save lumber less than 24" (we don't have a board stretcher anymore!), but it STILL owes us money. this time of year, ornaments come to mind. end grain coasters are always a good choice. I'll probably be making a baguette thing now too!
Somebody has probably already mentioned this in the comments, but just in case: Izzy Swan has a video (or three) on cutting coves like on the baguette slicer using the table saw and a bias jig. The only other thing I would suggest is adding some 'feet' on the slicer to prevent it from being 'tippy'. All these projects are fun ideas!
Nice upload! Maybe it’s just my bah humbugness but these gift idea videos that have felt increasingly repetitive and dull but I found these projects surprisingly unique and creative.. But here’s a condensed version of the directions for each project in case you’re in a rush and even more of a Scrooge than me.. Project 1: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 2: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 3: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 4: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Project 5: past template, rough cut then flush trim with router.. Haha but seriously, don’t be a jerk and just watch the video… it stands out in a group of videos where it isn’t easy to do so and is by a creator who’s worth supporting.. Respect!!
These are all fantastic, and I'm glad you did them all with tools we would likely have in the shop--because that serving tray would be a perfect job for the Shaper Origin. :)
Oh my God.When I was thinking what will be the next project you just show all of these.I loved both the simple ones (but charming a lot) and the more elaboreted and dificult to copy.Your projects are amazing...and super nice ..congratulations from Brazil
There is something about how you do things that that makes your works very special. Love how you keep taking measurements to the minimum, how you work with templates and how your router can do anything. Keep the videos coming.
Love the projects. They solve problems I did not know even had like the crackers for example. I don’t know why but the crackers are always odd when laying out a board with cheese. What great ideas. Thanks! 👍🏼👊🏼
Thanks Tamar! These are all great ideas. FYI Tip: To glue up the octogon, lay a long piece masking tape on its back. Then place each piece on its back edge, laying each piece end to end. Then apply glue and simply roll it up.
Tamar, congratulations on making a novel Christmas gift video. Obviously lots of people are making videos about Christmas gifts, but usually they're just variations on the same-old same-old. You've come up with new ideas. You are truly a marvel!!! I'm going to make two of them for my crowd this year. Thank you!!!
Scanned through the comments and saw lots of suggestions on different ways to make your fun projects. However nothing about the stale baguette. So I will offer my tip on that. I have a bakery that I get end of day fresh baguettes for .50 each. I get a couple and slice them up and make little french toast slices out of them. Softens up the stale bread and they are quite good. :-) Your slicer would be perfect for that. Happy Holidays
That tray is beautiful -- a CNC project but appreciate the process you used to show for those who don't have one. However you just caused me to have more work because now I have to make one :) good thing I have a CNC :)
Another, yet highly Kool video of your works, thank you always, why we've recently relocated, I no longer have a workshop area, other than the outdoor carport, and with winter here in Colorado, it's a bit trifle to work outdoor in the elements, but God ALWAYS sustains me by his strength, everyone of your videos inspires me more and more! Thank you Father God and thank and bless you and your family and work Tamar!
I always like these holiday gift vids. They give me so many V8 moments. As always excellent and creative ideas. Why couldn't I think of that? haha I love the veggie/chip tray. My wife wants the Fiesta ware dip and veggie set but I like this much better. I wonder if I could make it without being caught? You baguette cutter would also make a nice plate stand for open or glass front cabinets. :) BTW, I took last year's trivets to a wedding this summer and my family went nuts for them. They kept every one. :)
When I see "woodworking gift ideas" showing up I immediately expect some less than stellar ideas. Gotta say these are cool, unique, fun, creative ideas. In addition they are good skill builders. You get 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I also liked seeing your shop. It looks like a real shop and not a set for a commercial. We all have the scrap bin that's over flowing 😂 we know we'll use that piece eventually! Thanks for sharing 👍
Love those! I would not hog out theserving tray, the contrasting wood looks great. So want the baget cutter. For the cheese tray, I would leave 1/2" thick ends on the walnut to keep the crakers in place; the contrasting wood is just fantastic.
You should be able to turn that forest of clamps into some sort of Christmas decoration. I love the party tray. I have one from the store - which I love - that's symmetric with wedges that look strangely like Starfleet insignia.
Great stuff, thanks. Look up Cutting coves on the Table Saw to make the cove in the baguette tray/slicer. You can do it indoors and this time of year, that might be important.
I love the creativity, thats one of the things i struggle with most is coming up with original designs, to make each piece not only personal and unique, but also a first of its kind. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, Tamar this is so beautiful, my favorite is the multiple trays in the round one, I’m definitely doing that one as soon as I can finish my shop, thanks again for sharing your great projects ideas!!!
5 superb projects. They are all my favourite. Although the "cracker well" board is fantastic especially after you had 6 billion ideas about how to change it right after the glue was dry. Well done for getting this video out so quickly and for your enthralling commentary. I don't own any tools and am so glad that you do so that we can watch you using yours to such effect.
Always love your creations 👍 My solution to curved sanding is to use PVC. If you have a diameter similar to what you are working on, use CA glue to attach the sandpaper. You you now have a round sanding block that can be used to reach those pesky spots the spindle sander won't. That was my go to before adding my spindle sander. I was also going to mention the cove jig for the table saw, but it appears that has already surfaced. Thank you so much for your sharing your creations. I will be heading to the website for the serving tray templates.
Beautiful gifts. You must love the recipients very much to spend this much time & effort. If I had to make them, I'd probably have to start in September ;) Oh well, September will be here before you know it. Happy holidays!
Love the ideas. More than that thank you for admitting mistakes. So many videos go so smoothly, projects in real time do not. Enjoy your holiday season. Happy building.
Cracker well: What a great and novel idea! I'm thinking that if you cut it to fit a piece of PVC pipe, the glue up might be easier. Taping the octagon: twine tourniquet. Nuff said. Sorry to say, you need more clamps. :) Carving the baguette tray seems like a good job for a tablesaw "cove cut". The idea of cove cutting is a bit scary, but then again so is angle grinder carving. No worries about the stale bread. It's fondue time now! I kind of wonder if more than one cut is actually required though. You've sort of made a handsaw miter box for bread, so maybe have one straight cut and one on the bias. Perhaps etch in some slice thickness markings. I may have to make this now. Just gotta figure out how to put some vertical grain where the knife bottoms out, and a way to decoratively hide it in my already overstuffed kitchen. As always, great work on fresh ideas and good demonstration of techniques.
Amazing projects, amazing talent, amazing video. For the semi circles in the center drill a 3/8 dia.hole, insert a sharpened dowel and Wala you have a finishing leg to put under a project you’re going to finish .👍😇
Aloha ... Sorry I haven't been active on your recent projects. Finishing up a long term work assignment at one of my old Navy commands in Hawaii. So I'm away from my NY state wood shop. I have been practicing with a router, using templated and bearing guides and I remembered the serving tray build and how it would be a good project for a router. So I got a bunch of koa and monkeypod off-cuts, bring them home to NY and I'm going to give it a go. Koa is a very beautiful wood, native to Hawaii and hard to come by.
Absolutely love all these projects and those other holiday gifts you have done before. We can always trust you to come up with simple, fun, easy but brilliant and beautiful ideas.
Excellent ideas! For the crackers, you cracked me up using hexagon crackers instead of Ritz round ones. Keeping us entertained while learning. My favorite content!
And not once did I hear the word "drawer"... I've been sub'd to Patrick's Workshop for years and remember when he came out with his video on the scoops. Jay Bates and Nick Ferry then followed with scoop videos also, and they each gave Patrick a shout out. The bagette (sp.?) tray is pretty cool! Make it wider and you can use it for french bread ! Thanks for the video !
Thanks Tamar, and I think the templates for the multi-part serving tray would be a good CNC project for those who need something to do with their new toys. I can see where the baguette slicer on a bias would be appreciated by a number of people as well.
Really nice ideas! Wish I had a bandsaw... an idea for getting glue out of tight places is using a plastic straw for large drips. I saw that on UA-cam a few times with different people. Great job! 👍
Really nice group of projects Tamar. Glue mfg's don't recommend the salt hack. Better to let the stack sit for a few minutes after gluing and realign it after the glue begins to set. Happy Holidays!
@@3x3CustomTamar I used to formulate water-based glue, I was trying to think how salt could affect the bond strength. Salt could destabilise the emulsion of polyvinyl acetate in white wood glue by withdrawing the water component, so the the synthetic component could agglomerate before fully penetrating into the wood fibers. It would be affected by how tight the wood grains are and moisture content. So a small amount of salt on a softer wood may have little effect in contrast to a lot of salt on a hard wood. The salt may also slow the drying time by holding onto the water in that location where the granule has dissolved a little longer.
I tried salt once and it didn’t work as expected. But i have crooked hands! So might not be the indication of success. Idea that salt drives water away is interesting though.
You might try cutting coves on the table saw. Use a temporary fence clamped to the table at an angle. As you push the wood along this fence, the saw blade will cut a cove shape into it. The up side is its fast. The downside is you are limited to a specific range of depth of the cove by the diameter of the saw blade, but the width can be adjusted in part by the angle of the temporary fence to the blade.
@@3x3CustomTamar If you say so. Angle grinders scare me silly. :) Love your work and your channel. I stumbled onto a French guy doing wood working who credited you with giving him the idea for a joint. So that was pretty neat! I actually subscribed to him, though I am wondering if doing everything in subtitles will get old. We shall see.
She is so underrated this is the kinda productive stuff that should be all of UA-cam
☺️☺️
That geometric tray is one of the coolest gift ideas I’ve seen! Thanks as always for sharing your talent.
So glad you like it! ☺️

I am waiting for my first serious tool to arrive - planner! My dust collection sucks. Congrats!
Awesome!
@@3x3CustomTamar I really can’t wait! i have a ton of issues with cheap tools I started diy projects with. Squares that are not square. tape measure that turns out is half inch off. my table saw… well… I poured epoxy on top of it to make it flat. Then had to raise the fence cause it was no longer able to slide over extra layer of epoxy…
So yeah… I almost gave up at some point.
2:37 "After A Bunch Of Sanding" sounds like a good name for a secondary channel focused on collaborative woodworking live streams and fireside chats.
😂😂😂😂 totally does
16:22 I rly like this shot, the colours and variety of wood shades.
Haha. Funny story. I went to go fill it with stuff for pictures and I didn’t have any appropriate food in the fridge so I just added stuff for color like clementines 😂
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again here: you are an inspiration, Tamar. Keep up the great work!
☺️☺️ thanks!

Awesome to hear! Yeah. Definitely wastes less wood this way… have fun!
To cut angled baguettes, pick a cut on one side and one several spaces down on the other. Set your guide to match that angle and add those cuts with the saw.
By using previously made cuts as the start and end you should be able to avoid removing too much wood and keep the sides looking the same.
As always very useful presentation. I'll certainly be making the scoops for the garden. Incidentally, for the bagette cutter I have in the past cut hollows on the table saw. Just set a fence to an angle to the blade and carefully cut in small steps. I've cut to an inch deep but you could go to the depth of the saw blade if you take it carefully. You can also make parabolas if you set the blade to an angle too. Keep up the brill work.

For feet, and only using wood, you might consider saving some corks from wine bottles and cutting them into thinner discs. Attach them by drilling a hole of the same diameter and a bit of glue.
I honestly love the knife rack, functional, pretty, unique and totally doable for anyone 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yeah! So glad you like it! So easy!!
And, unlike most knife blocks, can actually be kept clean!
Awesome job T!!! What about the 1/2 round off fall for feet for serving tray?
Oooh that is a great idea!
I had that thought as well. One caution I thought of is that if the feet were put at the far corners, it would be fairly easy to lean on the center and break the t&g joint so maybe putting them under the corners of the main board would be a better idea. Then orient them so that if an overzealous child leaned on the cracker side, it would roll and the worst that would happen is spilled food, not a broken tray.
Soooooooo satisfying sound when you put puzzle tray together, wood touch sounds are best
Haha agreed
Appreciate her enthusiasm.
Creativity, woodworker-y, and instructions in equal measure. Great job!

Going to have to try out that bread cutting tray idea. My wife makes homemade bread so that could be something really useful for us
These are all fantastic, and I'm glad you did them all with tools we would likely have in the shop--because that serving tray would be a perfect job for the Shaper Origin. :)
I fought myself so hard not to do this on the origin…. Would be so much easier but really wanted it to be accessible 👍
@@3x3CustomTamar it's things like that that make us appreciate the content you put out. Thank you!
The geometric tray and the cracker and cheese tray are very creative ideas. Thank you for the ideas.
That's a great knife holder. Not having the blade touch any surfaces is fab.
Thanks! I’m so thrilled with how it turned out
Oh my God.When I was thinking what will be the next project you just show all of these.I loved both the simple ones (but charming a lot) and the more elaboreted and dificult to copy.Your projects are amazing...and super nice ..congratulations from Brazil

Great idea for Christmas as well as weddings
Glad you liked them!
All I can say is WOW! I especially love the Serving Tray and the Bread Baguettes Slicer. Thank you!
So glad to hear! Thanks!
Great video!
Just submitted a magnetic knife block I just made which will be a Christmas gift for my mom!
Awesome!
There is something about how you do things that that makes your works very special. Love how you keep taking measurements to the minimum, how you work with templates and how your router can do anything.
Keep the videos coming.
These are my favorite types of projects. When you create with what you have instead of needing to measure and make sure it’s perfect
Love the projects. They solve problems I did not know even had like the crackers for example. I don’t know why but the crackers are always odd when laying out a board with cheese. What great ideas. Thanks! 👍🏼👊🏼
Haha yup! It always bothers me that we just throw the crackers on a separate place 😂

Thanks! So fun to make use of those scraps
Love your creativity and relatability to us weekend woodworkers. Thanks so much!

Not really. I tend to just make things I need. Puzzles aren’t really on that list. Ha
Great stuff, thanks. Look up Cutting coves on the Table Saw to make the cove in the baguette tray/slicer. You can do it indoors and this time of year, that might be important.

Taping the octagon: twine tourniquet. Nuff said.
Sorry to say, you need more clamps. :)
Carving the baguette tray seems like a good job for a tablesaw "cove cut". The idea of cove cutting is a bit scary, but then again so is angle grinder carving. No worries about the stale bread. It's fondue time now! I kind of wonder if more than one cut is actually required though. You've sort of made a handsaw miter box for bread, so maybe have one straight cut and one on the bias. Perhaps etch in some slice thickness markings. I may have to make this now. Just gotta figure out how to put some vertical grain where the knife bottoms out, and a way to decoratively hide it in my already overstuffed kitchen.
As always, great work on fresh ideas and good demonstration of techniques.
Sounds like a good idea. Have fun!
Amazing projects, amazing talent, amazing video. For the semi circles in the center drill a 3/8 dia.hole, insert a sharpened dowel and Wala you have a finishing leg to put under a project you’re going to finish .👍😇
Great idea!
Aloha ... Sorry I haven't been active on your recent projects. Finishing up a long term work assignment at one of my old Navy commands in Hawaii. So I'm away from my NY state wood shop. I have been practicing with a router, using templated and bearing guides and I remembered the serving tray build and how it would be a good project for a router. So I got a bunch of koa and monkeypod off-cuts, bring them home to NY and I'm going to give it a go. Koa is a very beautiful wood, native to Hawaii and hard to come by.
Sounds like it will be beautiful!
@@3x3CustomTamar will keep you posted. For now ... back to helping the Pacific Fleet submarine force
New subscriber. Love your channel and have posted it on my Facebook page and have shared it with specific friends with notes. Thanks.
Absolutely love all these projects and those other holiday gifts you have done before. We can always trust you to come up with simple, fun, easy but brilliant and beautiful ideas.
So awesome to hear! So glad you like them
Excellent ideas! For the crackers, you cracked me up using hexagon crackers instead of Ritz round ones. Keeping us entertained while learning. My favorite content!
Haha! They’re a common kosher cracker, called tam tams
And not once did I hear the word "drawer"... I've been sub'd to Patrick's Workshop for years and remember when he came out with his video on the scoops. Jay Bates and Nick Ferry then followed with scoop videos also, and they each gave Patrick a shout out. The bagette (sp.?) tray is pretty cool! Make it wider and you can use it for french bread ! Thanks for the video !
It’s such a fun little project!
I love that food tray at the end so much!
Thanks!
Thanks Tamar, and I think the templates for the multi-part serving tray would be a good CNC project for those who need something to do with their new toys. I can see where the baguette slicer on a bias would be appreciated by a number of people as well.
Yeah. It was hard not to use the cnc here. Ha
The cheese tray is fantastic! I can make a bread tray. Thank you!
So glad you liked them!
Really enjoyed watching, some great ideas there. Thank you for sharing
So glad you liked it!
Bellissimi complimenti sempre belle cose
Really nice ideas! Wish I had a bandsaw... an idea for getting glue out of tight places is using a plastic straw for large drips. I saw that on UA-cam a few times with different people. Great job! 👍
Thanks! Yup! Use that all the time too. It’s a good one
Love the platter...Starting this tonight for sure!!!
Awesome. Have fun!
Really nice group of projects Tamar. Glue mfg's don't recommend the salt hack. Better to let the stack sit for a few minutes after gluing and realign it after the glue begins to set. Happy Holidays!
Another alternative to salt is sprinkling with saw dust - not all saw dust is equal so you have to be mindful of the grain size and wood type.
I’ve never tried the salt method. But so many ppl suggest to to keep. Good to know!
@@3x3CustomTamar I used to formulate water-based glue, I was trying to think how salt could affect the bond strength. Salt could destabilise the emulsion of polyvinyl acetate in white wood glue by withdrawing the water component, so the the synthetic component could agglomerate before fully penetrating into the wood fibers.
It would be affected by how tight the wood grains are and moisture content. So a small amount of salt on a softer wood may have little effect in contrast to a lot of salt on a hard wood. The salt may also slow the drying time by holding onto the water in that location where the granule has dissolved a little longer.
I tried salt once and it didn’t work as expected. But i have crooked hands! So might not be the indication of success. Idea that salt drives water away is interesting though.
You make it look so easy! I like it! And is inspiring!! I was drooling to see some nice machinery you have there. Thank you Tamar!!! 😎👍🏻
Fun to make these!
You might try cutting coves on the table saw. Use a temporary fence clamped to the table at an angle. As you push the wood along this fence, the saw blade will cut a cove shape into it. The up side is its fast. The downside is you are limited to a specific range of depth of the cove by the diameter of the saw blade, but the width can be adjusted in part by the angle of the temporary fence to the blade.
Yeah. Thought that was too intimidating for beginners. Angle grinder is more accessible 👍
@@3x3CustomTamar If you say so. Angle grinders scare me silly. :) Love your work and your channel. I stumbled onto a French guy doing wood working who credited you with giving him the idea for a joint. So that was pretty neat! I actually subscribed to him, though I am wondering if doing everything in subtitles will get old. We shall see.
That round serving board looks awesome! I can imagine it being for sale as part of some designer collection.
Thanks so much! I’m so happy with how it came out
Great job! Really love the Geometric Serving Platter.
Thanks so much!
Said it before, I'll say it again...Your Awsome
Excellent!! Beautiful and looks like lots of fun.
Glad you think so! Thanks!
