Great board. Quick tip for your rubber feet. Instead of shimming with washers, you should use a forestner bit and inset all of them. Then if/when you have a slight rock, you just identify the two corners and drill a little deeper. Your customer might see the washer, but they’ll never see that the feet are slightly inset a little deeper on two sides. Been working for me for years.
Great job with the cutting board. I am going to make one this weekend. Thank you for sharing. Also the filming and narrating was informative and to the point - no distractions.
May seem like a silly question but at 2:30 when you cut your strips to size, in order to cut in double how did you know how much to move your fence in. I’m just wondering if there was a trick or is it just knowing how think the last cut was and sliding the fence over that amount to get equal strips.
Great tutorial! I was wondering how to do an end grain Chevron board and this video got me all set! Curious if you found 65 degrees to be a particularly good angle from either an assembly or aesthetic perspective or if other angles have worked just as well for you. Thanks! Beautiful board :)
I would think that the more aggressive the angle, the more careful you have to be with the cauls during the first glue-up. Obviously the cut is longer also with a greater angle. He seemed to get a good 3-D effect with what he did IMO.
Yeah i’ve done an end to end grain joint cutting board and it’s fine 🤷 I found that doing an initial thin layer of glue and letting that dry, then doing a regular layer of glue helped a lot
Tengo una duda con estas tablas, al lavar la tabla con jabón tambien se retira el aceite que se coloca al final, así que prácticamente solo se ve bien hasta que se lava por primera vez y luego habría que aplicar aceite de nuevo, ¿alguna solución que no sea no lavar?
At 4:35, it looked like there were no sacrificial boards when you ran the strips through the planer, and also that the strips were already cut to length. What did you do about the snipe? Weren't there any? Did you just glued them as-is or was there a cleanup step you left out?
Nice board ! Got one question for you, in the last planer step, how to you prevent snip ? I image that a snip at this moment would make empty spaces between stripes in the last glue up ? I have the same planner and it almost always give me snips.
Hey Martin, that's a really good question. Sometimes I can avoid/minimize the snipe by taking really light passes with the thickness planer. If I do get any snipe after using the planer, one trick I use is do a light pass with the jointer (~1/32" or less) to remove it.
Hello, Mark! I wonder if you might help me. My husband has been interested in woodworking for sometime, but has not taken the plunge. He has recently been inspired by your videos. His 50th birthday is next week, and I thought I would surprise him with a few things to help him get started. He has some of the basics - a router, table saw, miter saw, palm sander, etc. I was considering a planer and/or jointer. If you were just starting out, what would be "must haves" in a garage/workshop? Thank you!
Hey Beth! That's a good question. If I had your husband's tool setup then the next thing on my list would be a planer for sure. Getting a planer is the next big "game changer" for a woodworker after getting a table saw. While a jointer is sure nice to have, you can actually build "jigs" and "sleds" to be used with your table saw and planer to achieve the same results as a jointer would provide. Furthermore, having a jointer without a thickness planer isn't very helpful because you're almost always using the planer right after you joint something. I hope this helps! Happy 50th birthday to your husband. :)
I had a question regarding the juice groove. Obviously there’s jigs to make a straight line around the board but to get that type of corner profile for the juice groove, is there any type of templates that can be laser made and double stick taped so the router or bearing can ride on and get that same look? Obviously it’s tough because not all routers or bits are the same but has someone figured out how to do this without a cnc?
That's an interesting observation. I do finish the bottoms of my boards, but apply the finish once the feet are installed. I prefer to drill the holes for the rubber feet prior to applying the mineral oil finish so I don't get shavings on my finished boards. It's just personal preference I guess.
@@reddsmorris7053 I use Fusion 360 to design my CNC tool paths, which is a free product. Once you have designed your tool paths you export them as "g-code", which is basically instructions for your CNC. The g-code files is what your CNC uses to actually carve your designs onto the wood. It's a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun!
Thanks Michael! I have a OneFinity CNC and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get one. They make a few different sizes, and they are all rigid and very reliable. I use mine daily and have never had any issues with it. Good luck!
Hello my friend, good night, thank you for sharing your knowledge and I will follow your videos, I am a beginner in woodworking, it is an honor to watch channels like yours, another subscriber here from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil - and an inspiration for me to post my videos on my channel, big hug, friend
how do you get or make a template like this for the juice groove. ive never seen one like this in the corners. any way to make a template to look like this in the corners?
@@EigenDesigns yah thats what i meant. i havnt either. could be something interesting and new to bring into the market. fancy juice groove corner templates
@@EigenDesigns im new to woodworking so i may be wrong but is there a way to make a sheet of acrylic at the size needed and use that to go thru it to create either the whole thing or just the corners? if its a template just for the corners, i suppose you can use the typical jig for the straight lines, then have a pre set line where to stop and then use the corner jig to make the corners.
@@eladsinay6914 Its certainly possible. A rigid acrylic template would probably work well, but would be fixed to a certain size. If you end up making something like this tag me on instagram or tiktok so I can see what you come up with. Good luck Elad!
