Love the pot holders and the cheese board
Tamar – I want to make the trivets you show for some family and friends, but I didn’t see the dimensions you used listed here or on your website. I’ll check the comments. As I understand it they are 7 to 8 inches long. The bottom pieces appear to be about 1.5 to 2 inches tall and when finally cut they are 1 to 1.5 wide/thick. The dadoes look like they are 3/8 to 1/2 inches deep. If you could confirm that these are close. I don’t have a Dado blade set so I’m planning on cutting all of them using my router and my largest straight bit is 1/2 in in diameter. Btw I got an upcut Spiral bit from Rockler and because they said it would reduce tear-out and it absolutely does. It wasn’t cheap – about $40, but it is way better than a straight bit. Thanks again for all of the great videos and project ideas.
Alrighty 5 days till Christmas and I’ll be tackling some of these ideas, lol. Hope you can answer this question, but for the finish you used…I don’t think I can get the one you linked in the description soon enough, so would cutting board oil work? Thanks for the help!
Great video, brilliant ideas and wonderful items! Thank you 😀
im glad you were having fun at the end of the video… it was fun to watch
Great Video.
Just an idea what you could make.

I’m late to this party too. Thanks for these gift ideas, might actually clean up my scrap bins which have gathered dust for years! And your style is great!
Made about 30 of the cheese slicers.
Used them as gifts.
Everyone loved the design
Thanks for the idea
Seriously handcrafting your own dowels? Oh dear …
Fantastic ideas, I love your creativity.
I just came across your video. Very talented you are. What brand of finish did you use on that cheese cutting board? It came out looking great.
But, but… what to do with the scrap from your scrapwood projects??
Love your videos! Keep em coming, please!
Never know when you’ll need a bagel stand hehe 😜
Since I’m a year late to the party this seems like a great opportunity to ask… how did the unreinforced miter joints hold up?
Hello, I´m Luigi fron Brazil. Congratulations, very beautiful projects.
Bravo!!!
Nice and simple ideas!!!
Greetings from Chile!!!
Where’s the QUICK and EASY part? Maybe for someone with every tool and has a lot of experience…
Learned a lot from you. thank you for sharing what you know.
Good video!! Great unique gift ideas!! Hopefully, the screwball has gone back to his planet….
Tamar – to counter the comment from Screwball Planet I love your video style. I can tell you put a ton of time and thought into editing your videos – fast-forwarding through parts while still showing enough of what you’re doing so that people can understand and learn. The pace of your videos is also what I’d call a goldilocks speed, not too fast and not too slow – and you always show a sincere cheerfulness. The pieces you make here are beautiful, elegant, and useful all at the same time. I do have to admit that I had to look up the word trivet. When you first showed them they made me think of waffle fries, lol. A few questions for you: 1. What do you use for a finish? I’m going to try using shellac for some doors I’m making because it seems more natural/organic and dries faster. 2. Did you buy a set of router bits or did you just buy ones along the way? I’m still learning about using a router. 3. I visited my local Rocker store here in Denver for the first time and was blown away – especially by the wood choices. One interesting fact, they said they are the busiest they have ever been in their 67-year history. Where do you buy/source your wood? I know you buy some of it rough, but I don’t have a planer so I will need to get precut wood. I’ve got a Home Depot 5 mins from my house, but their wood selection isn’t great and, meh, it’s Home Depot. Lastly, having lived on the East Coast for 10 years I was trying to place your accent. Could it be the eastern end of Long Island?
You have great ideas.
I love your enthusiasm and clear explanations! Great ideas and demos! New sub! Thanks!
How I missed this last season is a mystery and mistake on my part. As always, your videos are informative, well demonstrated and fun to watch … thanks much for the time and effort you put in to them. Cheers …
Great! Especially when you have all the tools- Excuse my ignorance but hoe do you adjust your router bit for the table? Considering buying a Martlett portable router table
You are quite talented!
Love the Trivets! Totally making those myself. The box and the wood pattern on the cheese maker are awesome as well. Thanks as always for sharing.
Which glue did you use for the metal inserts and threads on the bagel stand?
all of these are so awesome. Thank you.
That cheese cutter – Wowy!
Good
And the cheese board!
Tell me you’re from the north east without telling me.
I made a stand for my bagels.
No offense but your video style is annoying. You probably have some good idea’s but you are too annoying to watch. I know you want to be entertaining but its a fail.
Love the box!
Love the out takes !
These were great, I too liked the rounded over one, stand, rest thingy. I do envy your scrap pile
I loved the part where you made your own dowels and routed the channels for the dowel storage. Very creative!
Thank you for being so creative, entertaining and informative and on top of all this a super mom I’m sure. I’m sure that some of us watching couldn’t even handle a fraction of what you accomplish everyday. It’s very sad to see that people choose to use their time and effort to criticize someone else’s effort, talent and generosity. I for one am very grateful that you decide to use your time wisely and to inspire people like me. Tamar Thank you for being a great example!!
Cheers from the windy city USA!
Very nice my love lady ❤️🥰
What do you use on the pot holders as a finish? Love your content! Great work!
Gasp, I’m a year late to this video! Just ran into my woodshop to make that awesome round-over’d trivet. Awesome project ideas 🙂
I looked at the “bagel stand” and instead thought baby bottle drying rack. Then I thought baby shower gift that can be presented as dual purpose.
Thanks for the vid! Awesome pieces! Are you self-taught (if so, how many years have you ‘been at it’?) or mentored?
I love the look of the cheese board but I personally just don’t get owning a cheese board. I’m not a gadget person I guess. Just give me a knife and a cutting board. same with the bagel thing but they look beautiful. one day when I get a table saw I am defiantly going to try and make a chevron cutting board like this.
all your jigs for your table saw, did you make them or buy them? i am guessing make. and im guessing you have a video on that too somewhere I need to find.
Your program is accessible to all levels. Thanks
This is my first viewing and I loved your energy and your enthusiasm. I subscribed and looking for more.
“Easy” lol. Ok…
