Thank you so much! I appreciate you commenting. I def am not into all the pricey tools. I would love them but my budget doesn’t allow so I use what I have and other resources like asking the shop owners to cut the wood that I bought. They have licensed wood shoppers who will cut it. It’s their job! Lol. They will even help you with measurements. I love it. 🥰🥰
Absolutely stunning! The tray was also great 👍 👌. ..Not enough sistahs in the woodworking side of DIY. Quite refreshing to see tbh..And Fine as wine too! Thts a plus lol 😆 😂
I love the simplicity of this: no nails or hammering...just gluing pieces together and staining. Beautiful! A "free" alternative to buying stain for people, like me, who rarely stain things, is soaking a stainless steel dish scrubber in water for a couple of days then use the tinted water as a "stain".
@@HomeArtly I know, right? I learned it from the do-it-on-a-dime lady. I subscribed to your channel after seeing your thumbnails for cute Christmas and home decor items.
And thank you for subscribing! Yes, I love her diys, hauls and hacks. She’s so good at it. Id love to be able to do this full time...it changed the game so much.
Very cool and simple. I'm looking to build a "crate topper" for our dog crate. All of the other wooden serving trays were unnecessarily complex for the task at hand. Exactly what I was envisioning. Thank you for sharing.
This is a very nice tray! I was curious about the large size at the beginning but adding the square dowel divider really made a difference. Can't wait to try my own build. Thanks for sharing.
I'm making a serving tray out of poplar right now, and it's been a real pain in the butt. I wish I had seen this video first, because I definitely would have gone with plywood instead of gluing up 5 strips of wood and then having to sand all morning. I really like how you owned this project and made it work for you. Have those butt joints held up over the past two years? I'm always curious how long those last.
Agreed. This was my first try so there a few things I’d do differently next time for sure. Going to be making another once I receive my jig saw. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you! It's doing great still. I use it on weekends for family picnics on the living floor. My 7 year old it! Cant wait for the Warner months so I can use it outdoors again.
Hi. Thanks for the question. Yes, I waited for each layer of stain to dry before applying another coat. I also sanded in between each coat with 100 grit sandpaper to assure the smoothest finish.
Hi thanks for your question. I used the dremel 3000 rotary tool. I highly recommended a rotary tool for a DIYer this way you can change the accessories for whatever you’re working on. Of course you’ll need a much biggie type of saw for larger projects.
I for mine from Home Depot but Amazon sells it too. There is also a better model, I think it’s the rebel 4000 which does more. I’m not positive but I think that is the highest model.
Holy moly. Just realized the video. So for this tool I used hubby’s dewalt hand saw. It’s not the rotary tool. Sorry for the mix up! I still do suggest the rotary for much smaller projects but for this I used a DeWalt Saw. Also from Hole Depot. Sorry again for the mix up! Please check out more of my videos and subscribe.
I like that you showed folks that you don't need a bunch of pricey tools to make something nice. GREAT JOB!!!

So beautiful and super excited to give this project a try! 🌸
I started with Woodprix plans.
Gorgeous! I love the separation in the middle. 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you yes!!! Whoa I hadn’t thought of that. I must try this!! Stain hack?? So cool.

Very nice video, and a great project! Subscribed!
Thanks so much!
Nice job 👍
Maybe a wood conditioner would have helped the wood to take the stain a bit more evenly. This was a nice diy. Thanks for posting.
Good job girl! Your babies are so cute! I'm going to check out your vids and see what else you do.
Thanks sweetie. Yes!! The jig saw is on my list. The one I want is about 200 so saving up for it. I’m going to get it soon.
This is a very nice tray! I was curious about the large size at the beginning but adding the square dowel divider really made a difference. Can't wait to try my own build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. The dowel def helped it look so much better.
Thanks so much. The dowel def helped it look alittle better and less “plain”.
I have asked my husband for power tools for Christmas so I can do stuff like this. Thanks for sharing! Your board is beautiful!
Thanks lady!! Yes. Power tools are a must have for diys. I can’t wait to do more woodworking.
Love it!!
Thanks!
Nice job!
Lindo trabalho parabéns
Thank you for that. Foods should not touch the tray directly. It’s not meant to be used as a charcuterie board..
Try a wood conditioner before you stain fresh wood. It helps the stain penetrate the wood. But it came out very nice!
This was super helpful thank you!
So glad! You're welcome! Thanks for watching. Please subscribe too!
Thank you ! I love it
I'm glad!
Can you provide the written steps for this tray? Love it.
1:35 particleboard? maybe? ps. just want to say - you are amazing! my heart all lit up with your happy vibe 😊 (needed that today, thank you xoxo)
Yup. Particle board!
Awww so good
Thank you!!

Thank you so much

I really like how you owned this project and made it work for you. Have those butt joints held up over the past two years? I'm always curious how long those last.
I would add headless screws or nails from the bottom to further strengthen the joints.
Agreed. This was my first try so there a few things I’d do differently next time for sure. Going to be making another once I receive my jig saw. Thanks for the feedback.
Superbe 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍
That serving trey came out really good, putting that middle dividing piece was definitely the right idea , how’s the trey holding up
Thank you! It's doing great still. I use it on weekends for family picnics on the living floor. My 7 year old it! Cant wait for the Warner months so I can use it outdoors again.
I liked just because that looks like ny
Lol.
Love the tray. Did you wait for the paint to dry before painting the second & third times?
Hi. Thanks for the question. Yes, I waited for each layer of stain to dry before applying another coat. I also sanded in between each coat with 100 grit sandpaper to assure the smoothest finish.
Thank you! You inspire me to make 2 this summer.
@@cristamagsee6206 yay!!!. So happy to hear that. Thank you for letting me inspire you.

@@cristamagsee6206 yay! Thank you for your support 💕💕
Hey I was wondering did you use plywood for the side pieces as well or another kind of wood material?
Hi. Thanks for your question. I used 2x2s and I believe it was bitch wood. Not ply.
@@HomeArtly guessing you mean birch 😭😭thank you
Lol. Yes. Birch. Autocorrect sucks.
I am thing about buying a saw. What saw did you use for this video?
Hi thanks for your question. I used the dremel 3000 rotary tool. I highly recommended a rotary tool for a DIYer this way you can change the accessories for whatever you’re working on. Of course you’ll need a much biggie type of saw for larger projects.
Thanks for your reply. Where did you purchase it and what is the model.
I for mine from Home Depot but Amazon sells it too. There is also a better model, I think it’s the rebel 4000 which does more. I’m not positive but I think that is the highest model.
Thanks for the information will definitely check it out.

What were the dimensions
I mr too. The dimensions in the video at the beginning. I’d have to go back myself to remember. This video is pretty old now lol.
