What happens here

Once the handle is dry and securely attached, the top edge of the beer stein needs to be leveled for a clean finish. Use the table saw by placing the flat part of the handle against the fence and carefully rotating the stein with each pass, allowing the blade to evenly trim the top edge. This creates a parallel and flat surface. Before burning, give the entire stein a final once-over with 150-grit sandpaper to round over any remaining sharp edges and ensure a smooth feel. This also prepares the surface for the burning process.

Goal: The top edge of the beer stein is leveled using a table saw, and then all surfaces are sanded for a smooth, uniform finish.

Tools and materials

  • 150-Grit Sandpaper
  • Random Orbital Sander Festool

installed it that way once ensuring the handle was dry I needed to level out the top of the beer stein so to do this I use my table saw play the flat part against the fence and created a parallel flat surface by running it on the table saw and then rotating with every pass right before we start burning and using a torch I decided to give it a once-over with 150 grit sandpaper to round over any edges and give the overall even feel before we start introducing some of the heat now
