A bathtub tray is one of those small builds that punches way above its weight: it makes an ordinary bath feel like a spa, and it's a great confidence-builder if you're just getting comfortable with tools. I filmed the whole thing start to finish, so hit the tutorial below to watch me measure, cut, and finish mine.

The build is simple: cut your board to span your tub, shape and sand the edges smooth, then stain and seal it so it can stand up to steam and the occasional splash.


Watch the full walk-through in the video, and tag me if you build one. I love seeing your takes on it.
