Plywood Periodic Table Element Coasters

SandboxRanch.com now offers custom plywood periodic table element coasters on its website.

The process of developing these custom plywood periodic table element coasters was a few years in the making actually, I made all the design files and developed this product years ago but just never got around to making it available.

What SandboxRanch.com offers me is a way to release products that I’ve had in my head but no way to actually promote properly through my main site CNCROi.com, which does only custom fabrication – it just wasn’t a good fit.

The impetus for these custom plywood periodic table element coasters was a plywood job I did for CNCROi.com which led me to have a lot of extra pieces of plywood without a purpose at the end of the job, as such, right away, from deep in my head, I realized this would be perfect for coasters!

As I already had the design files for the entire periodic table developed AND the coaster files as well, it was just a matter of a few minutes to get it and start making custom plywood periodic table element coasters.

The site I was planning to launch these coasters on has now shut down and migrated to SandboxRanch.com, here are the cutting boards I developed and the next on my list, at that time, were these very coasters which I never got around to until many years later.

The advantage of using our laser to produce these custom plywood periodic table element coasters over any other technology we have at the shop is that everything, engraving to cutting, is done in one shot, one process.

If you wanted these coasters out of stainless steel (which we can also make), they’d be plasma cut and then fiber laser etched.

If you wanted these coasters out of glass, they’d be waterjet cut and then laser etched.

If you wanted these coasters out of hardwood, they’d be CNC router cut and then laser engraved.

I’ve spent years making custom coasters for customers across North America at CNCROi.com, as such, any ideas you get from this can be applied to the periodic table coasters as well.

Having a shop with a wide array of equipment allows us to make these custom element coasters out of anything, but the most cost-effective yet durable option are these custom plywood periodic table element coasters, anything else, the price will be higher.

In this case, I made the entire periodic table of elements using wood I would have typically thrown into the fire pit (though keeping the bigger pieces for future projects), in this case, I converted them into custom plywood periodic table element coasters.

As for the options available for these custom plywood periodic table element coasters, they are endless both size, material and design wise to be endlessly customizable to your needs.

The goal with SandboxRanch.com is to show what’s possible and to offer that to order right now, if you want something different, not a problem, just contact us with your ideas as that’s what I do in my regular day “job” at CNCROi.com day in and out.

From live edge to pallet wood, coaster options are endless.

As each batch of custom plywood periodic table element coasters was produced, you can start to understand that making these on-demand is a powerful tool, it means SandboxRanch.com doesn’t need to hold inventory, pay for inventory or have sales to get rid of inventory, things are made once the order arrives and ship right to your door!

Of course, actual production runs of these custom plywood periodic table element coasters would probably be off fresh plywood, unless I had a job like this again that I could use the material for.

As for the finishing options, plywood is pretty durable, but adding tung oil adds a whole new level of protection from humidity and the general environment which SandboxRanch.com offers you.

Steel, plastic, wood, rubber or whatever material you want, SandboxRanch.com can make custom coasters to suit any need.

As I ran through the rest of the plywood left over from this job, oddly enough, I had the perfect amount to make the entire set of custom plywood periodic table element coasters, you can see just how flexible my approach to making these coasters is, if you want a hundred the same or the entire table, it makes no difference to the machine.

Each and every custom plywood periodic table element coasters is made to spec, the machine doesn’t need a coffee break, smoke break or gets tired of mindless activities which could affect the final outcome, it just works and works and then works some more!

After one batch of custom plywood periodic table element coasters was finished being made, the next one was already lined-up and ready to go!

When it comes to the periodic table coasters that SandboxRanch.com offers, regardless of quantity, we make them on-demand and on-order, as such, options that aren’t available if these were mass produced are clearly possible with us.

The nice thing about using the laser to produce these coasters is that no secondary processing is required, meaning the contrast created is done so by the process itself, there is no additional painting or printing required.

You can see in the image below how tricky some of the placement of the custom plywood periodic table element coasters cutting was, my goal was to use as much material as possible, thus utilizing it as efficiently as possible.

I had the absolute perfect amount of plywood for this run of periodic table element coasters, I really couldn’t have had a better perfect fit of material to project.
