🛒 Plans for THIS PROJECT:
This is an excellent starter project because there are only a few pieces, put together with very basic joinery, and yet the end result is a classy and useful serving tray.
I built a version of this tray over 40 years ago in 7th grade shop class. I decided to revisit this project and make a new version. I first drew it on the computer in Sketchup, and used that to make 1:1 plans that I could easily trace when cutting out the parts.
It has the classic lines of mid-century modern projects, and given that my own tray has lasted 40 years of use, I think one that you build should last you for a long time as well.
