Hi everyone, after using the round over bit in the router I used the orbital sander with 150 grit paper to sand the boards before finishing. Thanks for watching, Jon
The patterns looked SO GOOD! I’ve seen a lot of boards made from scraps that don’t seem to have much symmetry and not particularly easy on the eyes. Great builds, as always, Jon! I wish you were able to put out a new video every single day! They’re entertaining, informative, and downright fun to watch! 👍👍
Thank you so much for this. I had no idea about the cauls. I’ve made a lot of cutting boards now, but never thought of that. Would not have to rely on the surface planer as much then. Always great coming to see your videos.
A second, light pass with the router would remove most of the burn marks. I dreaded sanding juice grooves until I found that those 3M finishing (black) scouring pads do a pretty good job of smoothing across the grain without leaving any scratch marks. A soft wire brush for the drill or Dremel works too.
Very, very, cool Jon. I'm sure the boys will cherish those boards for a long time. The square jig for the router was pretty neat. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
I started thinking the other day, I’m going to build some cutting boards for a couple of people for Christmas. Great timing on this video, and happy holidays to you Jon. All the best !
Great video, that board looks awesome. Not sure why its called a juice groove, as the across the grain section would technically speaking be a dado. Semantics i know, i guess its just simplifying it.
How far in from the edge of the cutting board do you do the juice groove and how wide & deep is the juice groove? Also curious as to what you could sell these for 🤔
Cutting boards look great! If you are a beginning woodworker I would not recommend using the double-sided tape routing method and instead use exterior perimeter boards to route the juice groove out with.
