Materials Used:	multi-ply
Tools Used:	table saw, scroll saw, rasps, sandpaper
Approx. Cost:	10 €

I wanted to make two simple pizza peels out of birch multi-ply.

This was a nice chance to try spiral-toothed scroll saw blades as the boards required for this project would be too large for the saw if cut with regular blades.

Design

Based on a peel and stone that I already have and the box it should fit in, these are the desired measurements:

• thickness: 5 mm 6 mm (was available at the Space)
• handle: approx. 12 × 4 cm
• surface: approx. 35 × 30 cm (wider than long)
• front edge: chamfered for 12 mm

Make

1. cut: table saw for width, scroll saw for handle & curved shoulders
2. chamfer: used a rasp to remove most of the unwanted material at the front edge
3. sand: old sanding disc for cleaning up the cut, sanding block to finish the chamfer

→ only finished one so far, perhaps the chamfer needs to be adjusted due to the thicker material that was used - to be continued after some test pizzas

• major steps
• 

  transferring the design

• 

  cutting on the scroll saw

• 

  all cut out

• 

  smoothing the edges with an old sanding disc

• 

  a rasp forms the chamfer...

• 

  ...and a sanding block smooths it out

• 

  (probably) finished piece
