Stop Throwing Away Scrap Wood! Make Custom Coasters with Your xTool S1

In this video, I’ll show you how to turn simple scrap wood into high‑quality 4x4 coaster blanks you can customize with your xTool S1. Whether you want to engrave them, stencil them, sell them at craft shows, or make gifts for events like Father’s Day, this is an easy and profitable project for any maker. I walk through the full process—from cutting the blanks on a job‑site table saw, to sanding and rounding over the edges, to testing both laser engraving and airbrushed stencil designs. You’ll see why pine engraves inconsistently, which woods work better, and how a cardstock stencil can give you clean, crisp results even on soft wood.
