Great job and thanks for sharing your mistakes. Now we can make the same ones and remember this video after the fact🤣🤣🤣

@TtheConqueror 3 года назад

Love the use of snow as water. Both the wife and I got a kick out of that.

@ProjectsandThings 3 года назад

Hehe, thanks tyler. It really was all I had around :)

@timconnell4570 3 года назад

Mistakes r good. Ive been watching cutting board vids since covid started, maybe a few hundred! And i havent cut a single peice of wood yet, WHY, because im still learning so ill start making mistakes soon. ' fortune favours the perpared mind'. U have a good attitude.

@ProjectsandThings 3 года назад

Hej Tim. Mistakes ARE good. I fully agree. That being said, over-preparing and analyzing just how you will make your first board could lead to choice stress and putting it off even longer. Diving in and messing up is part of the thing :) I’d love to see the end result, once you start throwing metal-cutty sharp teeth into wood. You can reach me via all the social mediae in the description. Good luck young sir!

I have been given a 1.8m x 90cm x 2cm piece of shatterproof tempered glass. It PERFECTLY FLAT, this o hope will stop the ' twist ' issue as its NOT just clamping that causes it, it is also a non flat surface the clamps r on.

@ProjectsandThings 3 года назад

@@timconnell4570 wowz, how do you move that heavy piece of glass around? How much does that monster weigh?

@timconnell4570 3 года назад

@@ProjectsandThings i agree. Its just my way of doing things as i am a ' systems person ' my job is system problem solutions and im in no hurry as its just a hobby. Ill keep in touch when i actually start to post which will be about the system LOL

@timconnell4570 3 года назад

@@ProjectsandThings yeh its a bugger. I think @ 70 + kg ? For glass only. I use leverage to move to move the glass. Just tip it on its thin end and ' walk' it. I dont have any help as i dont want to hurt my wifes back but ive never had a problem. Im building a new work shed and then it will stay in 1 spot for years. Its not attached to the table base as its so heavy it doesnt move LOL.

This is an amazing video!! Thank you for sharing the mistakes made as I have learned more here than I have learned on 10 other videos. Also, thank you for talking through you video, I hate watching the ones that work through their video with nothing but music playing. I love listening to the step-by-step instructions and your accent is amazing 😊

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

Thank you so much Loni. The accent is from Belgium:) the good thing is that the cutting board has survived so far and still gets daily use. Let me know if you make your own. Is that the plan?

@lonidena8623 2 года назад

@@ProjectsandThings hi there and sorry for the L O N G waiting reply to your question of “my plan?” (I didn’t know my RU-vid was hooked to a long list email address) The answer is… I have already made a few (6) but they are not completely done yet. They all are just needing the finishing touches such as sanding and, oils (I think I did ok but, time will tell) I will have to use one here at home before I hand them out as gifts and they all fall to pieces 😬

@ProjectsandThings 2 года назад

@@lonidena8623 hehe, I doubt they will fall to pieces. 2 of mine have warped, one after accidentally landing in the dishwasher, the other from just using and washing one side. But they are both back to being straight again. One has a few cracks but that is all. Overall pretty happy with them. Bye the way, great move in making them as gifts. Almost every handmade gift that I ever handed out is still used or at least cherished to this day. Handmade = love in many ways

@GeertGoossens 3 года назад

As long as you learn from your mistakes... I saw the warping of the board already happening while you were clamping it... should clamp it down either sandwiched between some larger panels that span the whole surface (not just some small strips like you did at first) but as I am sure you have some nice tables there you could clamp it down to a table... (or even to the flat metal surface of your saw table if you don't need it in between...) :) Also while clamping it on the sides you can already go over your surface with a cloth to remove most of the excess glue... (then loosen the side clamps a bit, clamp it down with the surface side and tension the side clamps at the same time...

@ProjectsandThings 3 года назад

Thank you geert, that was very detailed : I will use those tips next time for sure. When I clamped the board a second time on my crosscut sled it made a world of difference, but using 2 big flat things like you suggested seems even better. Thanks dude!

@herbb8412 2 года назад

I like the pattern you ended up with. My preference is square stop blocks so the bottom doesn’t move on you.

@JohnColgan. 3 года назад

Your last mistake was actually using sunflower oil. It will go rancid after a while. Best to use Boiled Linseed Oil or Mineral Oil. Let it soak up as much as it can

@Joe_Bandit 2 года назад

Boiled linseed oil is not food safe.

@marktunney5000 2 года назад

Baby oil

Good to know!!!!!

Cool video, when my cutting board was warped after the glue up, I sanded down all the glue and then I put the cutting board in hot water and clamped it down to my workbench which is flat and left it overnight. When I came back the next day, the bottom was still a little wet so I turned it over and clamped the other side down on my workbench. After that it was flat and it never warped again. Hope this helps.

@ProjectsandThings Год назад

thanks ben, I ended up doing similar thing a while back to the board and now is is back to being flat,I just stacked heavy stuff on it in the kitchen :)

@tjwiets6691 3 года назад

I wonder if you could mitigate the warp wobble by adding some rubber feet.

@ProjectsandThings 3 года назад

Yeah. Some people do this and it seems to work. But I like using both sides of the board. If I dry it flat it’s pretty straight. It just moves when I only get one side wet and leave it standing up :)
