How to make Make a Cutting Board Handles & Juice Groove JIG 

Thanks for the tip on the nail gun… I didn’t know orientation of the gun itself would make a difference on blowout. Great tip and an enjoyable video as always. Best to you and yours.

Love your stuff Jon, but one simple and cheap suggestion for these boards that will make them even more useable....four rubber feet. I use 1" rubber feet held in place with a center screw. Nothing is more annoying than chasing a cutting board across a super slick granite counter top, and the rubber feet cure that issue.

Great tips, I especially like your design for the cutting board handles over the dozens of woodworking videos that I have viewed on RU-vid lately.

this is why i keep coming back to his page. thanks!

Love it! Thank you in general and for clearly explaining the process. Now I’m inspired with some design ideas. 😁😁

The spring set you used are made in my hometown spokane Wa. Best tool ever!

Wow. Those are good looking cutting boards. They'd make great gifts.

Always great stuff, been watching for about 6 years. Can't wait till you get to a million subscribers, you deserve it. Thanks again.

Great job Jon!! Way ahead of you partner. Thumbs up. Best to Laurel, Olivia and the Peters men.

Wow.. this is great!

Thanks for sharing. I watched this video, went out to my shop and made up the handle jig and It worked fantastic on the big cutting board I have been working on. Also thanks for the tip on cutting the juice grooves. I had already cut my juice grooves on this board, but this system looks a little easier.

I like handles you made in the cutting board Nice and Brady board like that needs some.

Great job explaining everything thank you 👍

Good stuff as always Jon. Nail gun blow out is a good reason to pay attention where your support hand is located.

A great tutorial video. We will take full advantage of your guidance and thank you for your efforts.

1. Thanks for the tip about the nail gun!!

I use the cove bit to cut finger grips on each end so both sides of the board are usable.

Thank you! Wish someday i Will be making something close to this

Good looking stuff Jon. The jigs does make it so much easier

Jon, great work as well as instructions.

Beautiful cutting boards Jon! Those would make great gifts! Happy Holidays to you and your family! 👍👍

Hello Mr. Peters! I have learned from their projects, with the few tools I have I have done my projects. God bless you and your nation.

Great tips! Beautiful boards!

Beautiful boards, Jon.

This goes without saying, beautiful work, Jon. Wishing you & your loved ones a very Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving!

Yeah Boyee!! These both came out really cool Jon. I think bloopers would be an extremely enjoyable touch to some of your videos Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

What router bit did you use for this?

Good stuff as always!

Jon, have a good Thanksgiving! Folks, support this channel because Jon and his wife have to feed their giant sons Thursday. That’s gonna run into the thousands of dollars.

Nice Jon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Btw, that router WAS serious.😏

First, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Jon!!! I need to head back to New Jersey one day to visit family. Great video. Just took a 3D cutting board class from Alex Snodgrass...still need to finish sand it and may very well take your instruction above into account as I finish it. Thank you!

You can tell when Jon is a little pissed and wants chuck a hammer across the room but refrains and carries on with the build. 😳🤣

Very nice

Mystery wood looks like black limba.

Is it difficult to keep the router tight to the board? Is there a tip for that? It looks like you are cutting counterclockwise. Why?

How deep did you cut the second to the last piece? The one that was notched out.

What was the cove bit that you used? Whiteside 1/2” cove bit? Do you have the number?

Haven’t seen a juice groove made that way before, might be my new favorite way! Jon, do you ever raise the grain on your cutting boards before sanding?

maybe you can make the finger grab in the middle, so you can also use the other side :)

My board is only 11 1/8 wide. How do I figure the dimensions I need? Because yours won't work for me.

Hermoso trabajo me pregunto que tipo de madera será la roja saludos desde México

wow that's an aggressive finger groove. I've always just use my 1" core box bit on the router table but even then I'm only using half the bit so the groove only goes half an inch in. Perfect for getting your fingers right under there though

How did you not burn the corners?

What router bit did you use for the handles.

Not sure why you wouldn't just use a pattern bit and simple flat jig for making the handles.

When you cut the pockets out of the cutting board wouldn’t it have been easier to employ pattern bit instead of a straight bit and a bushing?

Nice work, but I think the finger cutouts are too far in from the edge for aesthetic reasons, they don't need to be more than 2 knuckles deep to be ergonomic. Cheers
