Making a HECTOCOASTER (100 Coasters)

Have you ever seen a hectocoaster? How about a hectocoaster made of several kinds of exotic hardwoods?

I recently made some drink coasters out of a variety of different kinds of exotic hardwoods. I initially planned to just make a few as gifts, but then expanded my efforts to make over a hundred of them!

In this video I detail the construction process, explaining every step, and dropping knowledge bombs about how to work more efficiently when batching out many pieces at once in parallel. Even though coasters are fairly straightforward to make, when making a hundred of them even a small inefficiency in your work flow can lead to hours wasted and, in turn, money lost.
