I don’t even work with wood, and I watched the whole thing. Very impressive. The amount and quality of the jigs he made are incredible. Great work on everything!
Look into your nearest Woodcraft store. They offer classes. I just signed up for the cutting board class. 6 hours long and limited to 6 people. Everyone makes a cutting board to take home.
Beautiful work! Would love to see a coded board! This is where the light and dark patterns of the board could spell out a message using any of many possible codes!
You are very creative, your equipment and methods are very high quality, smart American people, deserve a thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, friendly greetings from Indonesia 🖐️🖐️🖐️
At first I didn’t realize why I was about to pay 200 dollars for a cutting board, figured I’d make one myself, now I know why I’m going to buy that 200 dollar cutting board
The best? For a woodworker yes, maybe. They are very pretty of course. For a professional chef not so much. I don't like all the open fibers that absorb dirt. I prefer side grain boards. Please also thinner and lighter. I guess it depends. Do you see them as a work of art? Or as a tool in the kitchen?
Well, you better stick to your culinary skills and let him stick to woodworking because end grain cutting boards ARE the best option for your culinary needs, sir. 🔪 End grain boards are more durable and less likely to expand or crack. I’m also a woodworker You’re welcome!
Final product looks great. Two questions though: 1. I’ve never seen a carpet scrap used like that before. Is there a purpose other than to reduce noise and vibration? I imagine it’s a pain to clean. 2. Wouldn’t it be easier if you jet the glue dry before scraping? When it’s wet, you’re just mashing it into the grain, v. once it’s dry, it coming off relatively clean.
I was always told it's a big risk running and green boards through the planer but I see that you hit it with a chamfered edge before you ran it through is that what helps prevent snipe or chipping?
