DIY Soap Dish | Easy DIY Gift

This is a great gift idea for birthdays or holidays. This project didn't take much time at all to build and can be done with scrap hardwood pieces. These are the tools that you need: Table Saw Air Compressor Pin Nailer Glue Framing Square Teak Oil Titebond III Glue If you have a chop saw that can make things a little easier when you cut the wood strips to length, but you can cut them on your table saw with a miter gauge. Step 1: Decide how big you want your soap dish to be. The one I did in this video is 3" wide by 5.5" long Step 2: Determine the thickness of your scrap. Mine was 3/4". You want to cut the material into strips that you will then cut again in half. The table saw blade has a kerf (the amount of wood that disappears in a cut) of 1/8". So, knowing that I had 3/4" subtracting 1/8" meant that I had 5/8" of material to divide into two pieces of 5/16" each. So, I set the table saw blade to 5/16" and cut the wood into strips. Step 3: Cut the strips you must made into half again Step 4: Sand the rough edges of the material Step 5: Square up one end of each stick of material Step 6: Cut four pieces to 3" long and five pieces to 5.5" long Step 7: Layout the four short pieces evenly over the space of 5.5" Step 8: Glue and nail the 5.5" pieces onto the four short pieces. Use two pin nails at each connection so the pieces don't rotate while the glue sets Step 9: Wipe off any excess glue as you go Step 10: I didn't show this in the video, but rinse the tray in water quickly and then allow to dry. This raises the grain of the wood (it gives it that fuzzy feel). Once you have let it dry, lightly sand the tray to get rid of the raised grains. This will make it so that when the tray is wet it won't feel fuzzy. Step 11: Oil the project with teak oil and let dry Step 12: Sit back and enjoy a cold soda pop and pat yourself on the back. You are awesome!
