Nice board. A couple of tips from a professional woodworker. Joint your boards before planing and they will come out flat and get yourself a blade with less teeth for ripping. Then you will need less feed pressure, get less burning, be able to feed faster and get less of the board lifting at the back effect.
If you joint first how do you know you have a 90° edge from your plane line? And then is it the top plane line or bottom that holds that 90° angle to trust for your glue up? And another thing…. Less teeth on a blade in hardwood doesn’t equal less burning. More power from your tool does. I don’t consider myself a professional, but I’m more knowledgeable than you apparently…
Hahaha. Your are a funny guy. When I said joint I should have said face joint but If you had thought about that would have occurred to you. If you plane without face jointing the planner will push the board flat and then it will pop back to the original shape when it comes out. It may be even thickness but it probably will have some twist, cup or bow. Thinking that a planner will make boards flat is a classic novice woodworkers mistake. You are wrong about the teeth. I have a 7.5 hp saw and you can still burn if you try to rip with a blade with too many teeth. I also have a little job site saw and it doesn't burn when you rip because I have a rip bad on it with to to many teeth. I offered the comment as tips for the op and others to learn from but you apparently took it as an insult. It wasn't meant as such. So get over yourself. @@CraftedbyWeaver
@@CraftedbyWeaver Apparently, I'm more knowledgeable, more able, .and experienced then anyone else in the world. The men all come to me for advice, or offering to help me. The women all call me babe, hanging one like morning sew on sweet grass. When they're not grabbing my ass! Animals and children live me. It's an incredible life. Until I step away from the keyboard, walk up out of the basement, and outside into the sunlight. Then I'm just that pasty white boy, who can't shake jans or look someone in the eyes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Ibfeel for you bro! God bless.
I was inspired by this and replicated it into a table top for an end table with a boarder. Unfortunately I can't leave a picture in the comments, but thank you for the idea.
Great looking board. I’m in the process of building one. The only trouble is, the thickest wood I am able to use is 17mm. So for uniformity I’ve sanded them all down to 15mm. If my calculations are correct, the widest part of each segment is 34mm. I saw in your video you’ve used 63 segments. I’ve just measured my glue up lengths and I think I will be able to get 207 pieces cut at 1” 5/8” thick.
Beautiful and enjoyed watching. Question: What is the dimensions of your starting board? You mentioned length is 40 inches, but wondering width and thickness. Looking forward to your reply!
Great video thank you! You do better than most in stating the measurements your using. Plus even correcting an error in the measurement Just one thing you start out with Imperial then switch to metric then back to imperial. I know the last measurement doesn't matter... you can make the board thickness anything you want to but could you clarify the others?
Thanks I'm glad you like it! Sorry about switching between metric and imperial, I'll work on that in my next video....Are you asking about converting the metric measurements to imperial because that wouldn't work very well. An example, the 24mm sides would be 0.944882 inches. Hope this helps out!
Your correct about trying to convert metric to imperial. Tried using a conversion chart with only fair results. That's why I now use a digital caliper. Can switch bask & forth much more accurately. I'm looking forward to trying a number of your boards....THANKS!!
This is a really nice board. I do have one question. You said the height is actually 20.7mm not 20mm. Are you referring to the board thickness or the top when you are cutting the 60 degree edges? This really looks like fun. I have some boards waiting for this project. Thank you!!
If my math is correct, since your trapezoid bases are 24mm and 48 mm, respectively, your starting thickness (height) for the boards should be 20.78 mm, which is closed to 20.8mm than the 20.7 measurement you indicated in an earlier comment. Agree?
Hi I loved the video and did a really good job of following the instructions when makin it my self and it turned out amazing, now I want to make a smaller Version of the same thing can I just half all the measurements?
So glad it was useful and you ended up with a great board! Yes, you should be able to half all the measurements with out messing up the pattern. Good luck!
Your table was very good, I would like to make an equal one, but I have doubts, as to the dimensions, for example, the top (the largest part) which is the final measure and the smaller part, opposite the top, which is the measure, I understand that the thickness is 20.7mm. A hug from Brazil
Thank you much appreciated! That part of was a bit confusing. The top of the trapezoid was actually down (against the table) when i gave the measurements. So the wider part is actually the bottom at 48mm and top and sides are 24mm. Hope this helps and good luck making it!
Thank you very much for the explanation ... I wanted to ask im after the first cut of 60 degrees, did the second cut of the trapezoid need to cut 24mm in total? Thanks
Very nice, but you say you cut the top to 24mm, (at ~ 1:28). The "top" that shows when you made that statement sure looks to be more than 24mm. Did you mean the side opposite what's showing as the top in the video at that time?
Thanks! Yeah that part was confusing. You were correct about the top being against the table that point. For the trapezoid dimensions check the description, hope this helps!
So long as the wood is lighter than the cherry and walnut it should still work. Although red oak isn't the best option for cutting boards due to the more porous nature of the wood.
Sorry, I don't have any plans for the board, Hope you can figure it out from the dimensions and demonstration in the video, it'll make a really nice gift, Good luck!
The thickness was actually 20.7mm rather than 24mm. You can find all the measurements in the description, but doubling the dimensions should work just fine. Good luck!
I noticed the same thing when I first watched this video. Once I started thinking about it and remembering back to my geometry class over 50 years ago, I noticed that he was really making a 30, 60 90 degree right triangle. Therefore, there will be a 60 degree angle on the top of the board, just not on the bottom as the video would lead us to believe. The most important part when cutting and gluing these boards is all sides and the bottom must be exactly the same dimension.
Let's keep this clean. My son is also watching these to improve his wood working skills. As a congressional Medal of Honor recipient and a commander of a WWII submarine once told his crew, there are enough words in the English language to express yourself without being vulgar. If you can't think of any, I suggest you purchase a dictionary and start reading it.
