Lattice Trivet

Great looking trivets. I found the exact same thing the other day and my wife wants me to make some. Guess what I’ll be doing in my spare time this week….........LOL How big are yours? I’m looking to make mine about 6” sguare.

Thanks. Sounds like we are in the ballpark as to size….................LOL

very nice. I like those.
My Grandfather used to make some with the Radial Arm saw and a dado stack, also about 6 by. The grooves on his were kicked over about 45 deg. (I like those better, smoother, more finished look)

Love it and I need a trivet or two! Perfect timing!

Looks great!

Nice… sometimes it takes a while for the light-bulb to warm up. hahaha

These are similar to ones I made 15 or 20 years ago from plans in Woodsmith Magazine, but the grooves were rounded with a core-box bit. Yours look squared. you might try the core-box bit instead – easier to clean tuna noodle casserole out of rounded grooves… They also had a modification of the design for round trivets. Those were the challenging ones. I made a lot of kindling getting that process down. (But only because I don’t follow plans very well. I take “short cuts” that either cost me time or even the project itself.)

Nice work…
