Making a "woven" cutting board 

Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing your work.

Gorgeous!

A M A Z I N G !... I don’t even have a table saw yet, but this projects inspires me so much, that I might pull the trigger and work hard until I get to this point.. Thanks for sharing

Very beautiful and creative work, amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your work with us 🙏

I was wondering about the biscuit cuts also. Glad to know that they are not necessary. This is the next board I am going to make. It is beautiful. I make my own finish that is the same as Howard's. It is just 1 part beeswax to 4 parts oil. I have used both mineral oil and walnut oil. The walnut oil is not for everyone in case of nut allergies. Thank you for the video.

Nice work, I like the design.

I've been on a cutting board video binge (Christmas is coming) and not one of them used biscuits, so I would not use them. I've done a lot of glue-ups and have stopped marveling at the adhesive strength one gets out of glue. Given that 0.090" thick acoustic guitar tops (which are under tremendous strain) are often glued together with just tape providing the clamping force, I'd say that a 1" or thicker clamped glue up for a cutting board has no chance of failure.

Beautiful job! Watch those fingers! Safety first.🌲🌳

The woodpieces fit together so precisely... it's fantastic 👍😉 Very well done!

Absolutely beautiful! Got a new subscriber.

I saw the biscuit cuts but thought maybe I missed they use. I agree that was a bit of overkill but at one point, it looked like you were going to actually weave a thin slat between the wood. However the overall effect is especially nice when polished. Thanks for sharing this video with us and remember Texas is watching.

Really nice work. 👍👍

Beautiful Job mate

Nice job Andrew!

Very nice!

Nicely done!

Nice work!

Looks good brother! :)

Excelente obra de arte 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Veri complimenti!!! Semplicemente fantastico. Saluti da Milano.

Muito bonito! Parabéns!

Отличная работа.

Excelente .

Гарна робота!

Abraços, muito bem feita... inspirador.. Brasil

Good work. I subbed to u

You’re right. Definitely didn’t need the biscuits. Great result though. 👍

Interesting design A+ How was it planing across the grain I’m sure it done with very lite cuts

Were the biscuit cuts to allow movement resulting from cross-grain glueing?

Красотища!

Regarding an earlier comment about the music only video. :) This is likely more to do with a start up channel that does not have the money for expensive audio gear, or the creator is more comfortable letting their work speak for itself. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s rare that people show their early projects while they are still learning. Realistically, we learn the rest of our lives. If you ever acquire the gear and time to write and record commentary for your videos, it appears some of your viewers would like to hear what you have to say about your project. A suggestion for a script: Why did you choose the type of wood you used? Did you purchase your materials at a big box store or do you prefer / have access to a hardwood dealer? Do you find you get a better finish adding the runners before planning? What was the inspiration for your project? What limitations did you run into due to tools / materials? What other tricks do you implement such as the tinfoil for the glue-up? How long did your project take? How did you feel about the end result of your work? What were your lessons learned? Would you do anything differently if you made this again? What is your favorite part about how this turned out? Despite the tone of a comment someone makes on your videos, sometimes there is a gem of information lurking underneath the salty tones. Keep putting in the work. You are doing a fine job thus far.

Andrew , the weaved cutting board looks good. Are the block dimensions 3x 1 1/2 and 2. 1/4 x 1 1/2. If not can you share the dimensions. This is Steve from London On.

perfeito. so fiquei com uma duvida: por que os cortes nas laterais das peças?

Great work! Are the dimensions of the pieces available? Thx!

Beautiful board. A couple questions, why did you rout a groove into the pieces? And how long did it take to put them together (I just worry that the glue would start to dry at one end before I'm able to get it done and clamped up).

beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Although, I got kinda nervous when it went through the planer. I've tried that before and it snapped the chess board i was working on into 7 pieces.

Why the spline cut?

Do those plywood edges you attached before planing prevent sniping?

What product did you use for the finish? Looks beautiful.

The cutting board looks fantastic. What kind of finish did you use? Also, what was the music playing?

What was the purpose of the routed slot?

Beautiful work. Can u tell me what is the use for two wooden sticks put on both side of the board before using DeWalt planer?

Very nice work! I was going to why the router slots and saw that someone had already asked and you replied. I didn’t see you put the biscuits in. Did I miss that or did you change your mind?

Думал-думал, как плетение сделать без таких заморочек, но так и не догадался. До просмотра ролика посчитал, что автор с гениальной смекалкой, поставил лайк - а он разочаровал...

How much could you charge for such a cutting board? $$$

Good stuff! How did you remove the plywood edging after running it through the planer?

The wood pieces did fit together so precisely...what were your cut measurements? I would love to make my mom that board for Christmas. Masterfully done.

Hey man I’m trying to recreate this board I’m just wondering how you calculated how big each individual piece had to be?

Nice work. Wondering if you have had any issues with wood Movement?

so you didn't use the biscuits? Do you think your board will stay together if dropped? I have used biscuits on several large projects. Any regrets not using them/. I enjoy your final project

I just want to say that I'm fascinated by the handles on the router. They look so smooth and comfortable. Are they custom made? But, it looks like they would be a little too easy to slip out of your hands and a router is the one tool I'd be most afraid of losing control over.

cool

qué función tenía la canal que hiciste con la rutiadora?, no tiene ningún sentido.

amigo show........

Why didn't you use any of the splines that you made the slots for ???

where did you get the wood from?

Also, the amount of setup for those rounded corners is wild 😂 Why not just round them off with a sander or cut them with a jigsaw or something?

Damnnnnnnnnnn

What size are the cubes? I read and got the large block dimensions.

very nice board, thanks for showing us how to build it 👍😉 I just wish that I could afford a Dewalt planer 😭😭 I really like the music 😁👍 it sounded a little bit like Pink Floyd ?? 🤔🤔🤭😫 OK maybe not 🤔🤔 but it was good 😁👍 can you tell us who it was ???

That had to have been a lengthy glue up - how long did it take and what glue did you use? Love the board.

great piece, but, youre correct the biscuit cuts were completely unnecssary

А для чего тогда фрезой делал прорези .если клеил просто так ?

did not put any of the locks. I did not understand.

Andrew. Fantastic build and video thanks for sharing. You mentioned the biscuits were overkill. To your comment about the biscuits. If you did it again would you use something else - I was thinking 1/4” dowels - or nothing at all?

definitely the biscuits are not needed. They help with alignment, but don't add any strength. Beautiful job, tho.

Wat zijn de maten in mm

I dont think biscuits were necessary,a basic glue up and proper clamping would achieve the same result!

If not well maintained, this thing will blow itself apart In the next year. You got grain running in multiple directions. While aesthetically it looks good, from structural aspect this is done all wrong

You need to build a router table

i've never seen woodworking made so difficult . put on some shoes. lol

Don’t understand what the slots were for. Also, I don’t think mahogany is a good cutting board species. Especially face or edge grain. Cherry would be better and look great in this pattern.

nice board but holy crap! keep your hands away from the table saw blade, one kickback with your hand an inch beside the blade and youll be missing fingers or more... and dont fidget and play around with stuff beside a blade thats still spinning down... yeohza, im shuddering when i see this stufff, i get this feeling down my spine like omg no jeez fuck dont... haha

If you're going to go through the trouble of using biscuit slots then why didn't he use splines or biscuits?. Totally unnecessary given todays glues and the thickness of the wood. If he had a past failure he must have done something wrong.

Dont you just love videos without commentary. Trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Not.

Not worth the effort
