I think I may try this, even without having a miter saw, I should be able to get good results...I hope.

I'm thinking of taking the cut offs and gluing the jagged edges together, possibly mixing the patterns if they fit and make even more coasters.

What was the drying set up? How did you make sure they didn't stick to eachother?

[hansdegroot]

Beautiful coasters. Thanks for sharing the video.

[amateur_adventurist]

wow these are so beautiful, this is mastery in wood working

I'm remaking my miter saw station and have some 10 layer plywood leftover. Now I know what to do with it! Thanks!

I just made coaster for Christmas gifts this year too. I like 4" coasters.

Tip with the brand: give it a quick go over with 220 grit after branding to get rid of the edge haziness, it really makes the brand "POP". Other than that, I love the idea for using the edge grain of the ply, it is a really unique look, or at least it was, I'm shamelessly going to be steeling that one!!!!. Great job

You do some awesome projects! Loved this one and the porch floor at your house. You have great ideas.
Say hi to Leah for me. I miss her show on YouTube. I don’t want tiktoc.

Hello there, Creative, warm home ideas .. I congratulate you for their beautiful, meticulous and clean work. Health to your hands.🙂👌🙌👍

Paper tape the gap around your tablesaw blade. That will help reduce the plywood tear-out.

[Simphome]

Wow, when I see the result, I will not figure out that was made from scrap wood.

[debbiekirychuk]

Very cool! Who can afford plywood anymore though?! 😂

[markziolkowski]

What’s the info for the brand? It isn’t in your tool list

[wesleylayman]

I question from the use of tooling language and tooling techniques whether BYOT was the person crafting the coasters. No facial shots while actual work was being conducted?

[alexellis]

What brand / spec is your electric soldering iron for the branding?

[rjbradley-ortiz]

Can you repaint a sodastream please? 😀

[saulgoodman]

I must be hungry, I thought you said a piece of apple pie.

Hey BYOT!!!! I saw you used the 6 inch Bosch dual speed sander in this video! I’m considering getting the 5 inch version. If I use 40 grit sanding discs on the 5 inch sander, how well do you think it would work on my thick house paint?

Your safety measures should be punched up a notch. You have no splitter or guard on your table saw. I know some applications require the guard off, but you should always use a splitter/riving. Look at 7:36 where the two pieces of wood pinch back together after the cut with the blade still running, perfect recipe for a kick back.. Not a good example of safety, especially for beginners who may be watching thinking this is the way to do it. Again when you tie down your orbital sander upside down on the table, and wear bulky gloves, dude this is no way to show an example of safety no less try to explain that this is how you do this. You may feel comfortable in using these tools in the manner in which you did, but you always have to consider who is watching and perhaps one of those persons will not be so lucky and loose a finger or two. There are tools out there to make all these processes easy and 100 percent more safe and this is what you should recommend. On a good note, your coasters came out very nice and a great project to use up some of that scrap wood. Please use more safety, you are young and will want to keep those creative hands and fingers, for your lifetime.

Good work mate. I did subscribe a couple of your videos forward (shed building). I am not the usual guy to be the "Youtube Safety Mafia", but, your blade on the table saw seems really, really low for you cut. Rule of thumb: lift up you blade until the "valley" between your teeth in your blade are lining with the top surface of the piece to cut..But anyway, up to you man. Also, get a Sawstop. I have no $$ in telling this. I just have it, and being a week-end woodworker, sometimes rushed because i have 3 kids to look after, i blew thru 2 blades in 4 years already...yes...my hand and finger touch the blade...would have been a lot worst.
