It was a synergistic week this week with the acquisition of a new tool (wide belt drum sander) and attending a “Pizza and Wine” class at Southern Season, which was very thoughtfully given to us by our daughter, Clare.
Needing to have ‘something’ that would use the new tool and inspired by the Pizza class, I decided that a Pizza Peel was JUST the right thing to make…
Whatcha think?
Here’s the Pizza Peel, freshly oiled with Mineral Oil. It will get its first test in the kitchen tomorrow!
Here is the Peel in the making…

Note the use of the F Clamps using the parallel clamps as cauls to keep the boards relatively straight. You can also see the drum sander in the background.[img src=https://tomstudwell.com/wordpress/wp-content/flagallery/pizzapeel/thumbs/thumbs_img_5084.jpg]4770Glue up, viewed from the other side.
