I built a set of simple scrap wood wooden trivets using two methods: first, using “traditional” woodworking tools like my router table, and then using my Inventables X-Carve.
Tools Used On The DIY Scrap Wood Trivets:
Woodpeckers Router Lift, 1281 Square & Setup Blocks
Inventables X-Carve CNC
Powermatic 15HH 15-Inch Planer
Parallel Clamps
Rockler Bench Cookies
Random Orbit Sander
¼ in Upcut Spiral Bit
1/8 in Radius Roundover Bit
Oscillating Belt Sander
Materials Used On The DIY Scrap Wood Trivets:
I ran the Easel file on one side first, then flipped the trivet over and rotated it 90 degrees.
Run the Easel file again on the second side, then run the outline file : http://easel.inventables.com/projects/npTPeENu895Gl2an-lL23g
After the X-Carve is done, all that’s left to do is finishing. I rounded over my edges, did some sanding, and applied a few coats of polyurethane.
