Pine Breadboard

Pine breadboard for school project. Made with scrap 1x4 pine planks and requires a handle and laser engraving. Attached are the part and drawing files of the project.

1. 3 Pine 1x4s (upcycled)
2. Wood Glue - $7.97
3. Food-safe cutting board oil - $9.78

Start by ripping the pine with a table saw to 2 inch thickness for gluing.

Glue the 2-inch thick pine boards together and clamp down so the glue sets properly. After about a day, scrape excess glue beads off the glued board once it's dry.

Use a drum sander to plane the glued board until the sheet is level and there's no gaps or unevenness in the board.

Use given DXF file to laser cut a stencil of the final shape. Then, clamp the stencil on top of a glued and planed board and with a pencil, trace the stencil to mark the shape on the glued board.

Use band saw to cut out sketched shape of project from the glued and planed board. This should give you the shape of the final project with the glued board.

Use a router to curve and smooth the edges of the final shape.

Sand the board to desired texture and smoothness.

OPTIONAL: Add a laser engraving on to the board with a laser cutter.

Use food-safe mineral oil to coat the board. Let it set and apply more layers of oil as desired to finish the board.
