How to make a feather board from a $3 cutting board 

I hope you will share my videos with your friends!

All those dislikes? All from feather board manufacturers, I bet. Personally, I thought this is among the top instructional vid's I've seen. All about the process, with none of the ego you have to endure from most demonstrators. Don't moan about the power tools, either. There's nothing here that cannot be done by hand. Thank you JSK. Love your work. Love your presentation.

omg ... i am speachless. god bless you for showing me how to protect the 9 fingers i still have

Anyone else appreciate the delicate dashed lines he did for the cut marks?! Holy moly.

I'm really glad I watched all the way through. Was confused as to why it looked like you were trimming the feathers, but making all but three of them shorter to guarantee a set deflection/engagement is CLEVER!

Again great idea. 👏

I like the way you work its slow, steady and clean and very professional

Well done! The fact that you were able to get 3 feather boards out of one plastic cutting board is really great! 👍👍😉😉

Всегда с удовольствием смотрю Ваше творчество и учусь на Ваших примерах! 👏👏👏

I didnt know what a feather board was until now! This is brilliant!

... Holzarbeiten wie beim Zahnarzt ... perfekt ...

Tightly whity...shop very nice and safe

You're an incredible guy !!! Greetings from Italy !!!

Dislikes are pure ENVY!!!

Beautiful work! And when I saw that you've made most of your tools yourself, well, that was an instant subscription!

I really appreciate the clarity and cleanliness of your workspace.

WOOOOOOW! i have so many of those boards which are not suitable for cutting food anymore. always wondered what to do with them. and now i KNOW! thank you so much!!!

Ha haha just spotted some continuity problems in this video, it was obviously made in multiple attempts, possibly accidentally ruining one of the boards (which is normal if you do something for the first time) if you look at 5:50 he is making the slots and the left/right sides are already cut, whereas in the following part at 6:25 you see he is cutting the left/right sides off, while the slot has already been cut. Either way it's a great feather board, I like it. I just found this detail amusing. It's also super cool to use all these home made tools, it reminds me of John Heisz who uses his home made table saw, router table, clamps, etc.

Several comments on here along the lines of how these feather boards are over-engineered or how they took too long to make but my Dad always taught us that "a job worth doing is worth doing well" and that "that will do, it's good enough" is only acceptable if you did the best job your knowledge and skill level can produce. I have never felt I wasted time doing things properly and well. Thanks for the great advice Dad!

I think I’ll just buy one….. WOW

Wow! How clean and organized he and his workshop is! Like it very much!

Give this man a 🏅🏆

You are the best

This guy just likes to show of all his cool toys, in his shop. Very nice feather board though.

Had no idea what a feather board is, but now I want one!

I love your router table ♥️

こんなに作業が無駄なく美しい人がいるんだ。。。

I didn't know what a feather board was... very helpful. Congratulations and thank you.

So smooth! I love the way you put it together and that it is so effective when you use it!

Great idea

Wow, I just love his workshop! Fabulous work, thanks.

Besides a riving knife I think this is the second most important safety tool to have on a table saw.

I’ve never even seen a kitchen that clean! 😳

Thank for solving my long outstanding problem long live from Pakistan

Cutting boards are a great source for plastic in a pinch.

You are always perfect! Congratulations once more!

Beautiful, as always. Such a simple, common item that can be used as raw material for a very useful tool.

I like the wall-mounted ?panel? saw; what a space saver!

A great security measure ... Congratulations for your very clean and safe work. 👍👏🙌

Sempre um verdadeiro show de conhecimentos, muito habilidoso! Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

Clever reuse of a cheap cutting board. We featured this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)

Золотые руки! Классный станок!

I just bought a 3 dollar one from harbor freight. Quick and easy.

Simple, beautiful and wonderfully practical ! = )

Its great, very simple and absolutely clear to understanding process. Nice film, thanks!

Really fantastic work, man! Thanks for the tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

今まで硬めのスポンジ素材で対応してたけど なるほど、樹脂製のまな板は想像しなかった。。 硬さ(柔軟性)、耐久性、厚み、コスト 全てにおいてベストかも。 素晴らしい！ これはマネさせてもらいます。

ほどよく支える方法があるんですね。 知りませんでした！ こうした素材の特性を引き出して利用するような加工や製品はとても魅力的ですね。

Ingénieux et pas chère, bravo

I love this, thx alot. Very slow and safe i can see every move you make and why !

Wonderful to watch you working ! 👍 👌

Brilliant as usual

Your videos are fantastic! I could watch them for hours and hours (also in loop) without getting bored...

Прекрасная работа,отличная защита! У Вас золотые руки!

Excelence in your work! Everything clean and so well explained !!!!

КРАСИВАЯ И ЧИСТАЯ РАБОТА

everything clean like in laboratory

Wow, just wanted to buy some, this should do the trick!

Jee muh nee Christmas, dude. Lol. You took the scenic route on this one. I was like, “He’s gonna get to the feather board in a minute. But first, he’s doing some bonus build.” Nope. Just a really difficult version of a really simple task.

Thanks for sharing that, well done!

Ну ты мужик заморочился. Круто

It seems like this would work on a table saw too.

Danke für das Hochladen 👍 👍 👍 Lg

Excellent...

Very cool! I will have to try this as well, even though I don't have such an amazing looking router table! WOW!

Excelente... abrazos desde Argentina.

superb !! how I wish have all the cool tools on this video. Very neat, clean and tidy. I think I will be more inspired to work on the shop and get more creative the possibilty is endless. Thank you for sharing the skills !!! More power to your channel.

JSK-koubou You have fantastic ideas and great builds...

Why is every Japanese workshop so clean? What type of dust extraction are they using? Witchcraft?

Fabulous, and I just bought 2 feather boards that don't look as good as these If I need another I'll build one of these, great build

Absolutely Brilliant!

You should have called it Making a feather board from a $3 cutting board with $5000 worth of tools.

Dude, great video. Making three of these asap. Thank You!!!

Excelente idea,ante todo seguridad en el trabajo,por un módico precio un resultado magnífico,un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón,Galicia ( España)

また面白そうなのを作られましたね。安全と正確を追求されての作製なんですね、素晴らしいです！

Nice solution, another well made tool!😊

Impressionante o talento e capricho! Adorei, ganhou mais uma inscrita feliz 🥰

Excelente ideia, parabéns.

I love your work you are so perfect 💯

At 5:26 I notice, "Hey. He trimmed the ends and didn't show us." Then proceeds to route the side slots. Then at 6:25 trims the edges with the slots already cut. I'm thinking, "WTF?" Then at 9:42 introduces second featherboard and the temporal anomaly is resolved. Nice project. I have a couple of used cutting boards my wife discarded. Now I have a great use for them. Thanks.

Me sentí un inútil, trabajando con un martillo prestado, y este man con un verdadero banco de trabajo.

Another awesome video my Friend! Thank you for always sharing with us!💖👍👌😎JP

I am assuming that your router table is also a home job by you?......if so, what I have seen of it....very impressive!!! Thumbs up to you!!!

Impressive professional to overall safety keep up the good WORK

Simply beautiful 👍👏🇬🇧

목공영상인데 엄청 깔끔하네요 잘봤습니다

Brilliant idea and execution. No wonder

Very cool I once made some grind plates for some skates with a cutting board worked out well I think

Спасибо, очень интересен ход мысли!
