Materials and Sizing
Find out which hardwoods to use (maple, walnut and cherry were used in project shown in the video), how to lay out the wood and the tools that make this project a snap.
Assembly and Glue-Up
Learn what kind of glue to use and how to keep the glued-up pieces lined up. Kids will enjoy brushing on the glue.
Flattening the Peel and Adding the Handle
Discover a new tool! A cabinet scraper makes flattening the wood a cinch. Next you build up the handle and cut it to a comfortable length.
Shaping the Peel
Learn how to make curves with everyday items like washers and cans, plus a trammel point.
Cut the Peel to Shape
Choose from a hand-tool or power-tool method for how to make a pizza peel’s beveled edge. Then it’s more sanding and finishing before you test out your peel on your favorite pizza pie!
