My wife was teaching a class at the Red Barn Boutique<\/a> on finishing noodle boards, so she needed a few unfinished ones for the students. There are quite a few different styles with various assembly techniques. For these simple and quick ones, I simply ripped all the edges of the boards so they were smooth (enough), and then used a biscuit joiner to add a single biscuit in the center of each seam to keep the boards aligned. The side boards were screwed in place from the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since these were made during the pandemic, decent pine lumber was sometimes tough to come by, but I managed to find enough straight and (mostly) clear pieces. They did require quite a bit of sanding, though, which actually took longer than assembling them. Once sanding was done, they did look and feel nice, so it was worth the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a scratch awl, I marked the holes where handles would get attached, so the students wouldn’t have to be measuring and center-finding and all that good stuff. The class was a success. I don’t have any pictures of the finished boards because they all took them home (and I didn’t attend the class). Some got stained. Some got painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These aren’t generally the kinds of pieces I like building, but other than the amount of sanding, they’re not bad to build. They’re relatively simple pieces that go together quickly and create a lot of opportunity for different finishing designs. If you’re in a region where there’s a market for them, they’re a good product to make and sell if you’re so inclined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would have had more build pictures, but I did these pretty quickly (class deadline) and wasn’t planning on creating a blog at that point, so I didn’t even think about it. If you’d like details, feel free to comment below or, for faster results, do a quick internet search for diy noodle boards and you’ll find dozens and dozens of plans with detailed instructions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
