Hey there. Bearded Viking sent me to check you out. Great video. I will offer one piece of advice. One new creator to another. Most people woukd rather hear the tools and explanations of what you are doing. Thats the only advice i can give other than keep after it
First video - wanted to see how how everything worked to get something uploaded. I really appreciate the advice. I will be adding a voiceover and maybe some of the tool audio to this ASAP. Stay tuned!
I had the same question. Apparently they are panel clamps (or 4-Way Pressure Clamping System). The big woodworking stores (Rockler, Woodcraft, Woodpecker) have them, and you can find some diy versions on the Tube
Correct - they are 4-way panel clamps (amzn.to/4eHMZ7A (paid link)) I love them for these cutting boards and table tops of all types. Before I used standard pipe clamps which are good, but the downward pressure of these clamps helps with keeping the top from bowing and aligns the boards.
Wow 5 views ??? That’s it !! First video ey ? Well I’m glad I made it to see . I think I may be the first to comment too and first subscriber. Get after brother . Skål 🫡 Bearded Viking
@ no worries brother , it’s great content ! I was just sort of surprised you didn’t have more , it’s obviously a new Channel and to tell ya the truth. Your videos will begin to take off in no time , great work bro
Yea just give us a little bit and we’ll have him going strong !! Great looking boards. This is why I don’t do cutting boards. There’s a lot of work to turn two boards into two boards and make them look this good !!
Daniel @Bearded Viking woodworks sent me, great job in giving this a go! Props to ya, I can't stand being in front of a camera, so hats off to ya! Have fun my friend and best of luck on your TH-cam fun!! 😊
No you did not miss it. They don't sell it anymore apparently, but it was bought on Amazon. It's a 3,000mw laser. It has a dated user interface and there are likely better ones out there today. They are fairly inexpensive and I have engraved leather (my apron in the video), wood, and plastic with it. Lots of other options too!
Beautiful! You have some great strategies in place. Would you ever attempt this without the drum sander? Speaking of which, what's the life-span of the sandpaper with a project like this? I'd heard that clogging of the grit is a real issue with end grain boards, but you appeared to ease through it with grace. If you hadn't guessed, I'm on the fence about purchasing that exact unit. Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes you!
Would I do it without a drum sander? Making a handful of them, no. They are not inexpensive my any means. I started out using a belt sander. If making a lot of cutting boards or making small table tops, then yes. Sandpaper life - I get about 15 end grain boards until I decide to change out the 100 grit roll. End grain hardwoods are pretty tough on the sandpaper. As for clogging, I have not had a huge problem with this, but I make sure the glue has cured for at least 2 days before I run it though the drum sander. Hardwoods don't seem to clog sandpaper like softwoods do. Best of luck making a decision. It's always fun looking at getting new tools to expand the shop.
Bearded Viking brought me here. A nice little jingle but a bit much for me. How many times do you wet and re-sand.? What grit are you using? What size strips are you cutting? Nice setup.
I "raise the grain" 2 to 3 times. I start at 80 grit, 180, 320, then use a finishing pad as the final. Strip size varies based on the grain, desired pattern, and final board size.
Great video! Thank you... I've subscribed and looking forward to your next one. I do have a question... What is the laser machine you're using to burn your name/logo? I'm looking for something exactly like that but just to do my name and logo on my finished products. I'm not necessarily looking for a full on unit.
Search "lumber mill" in Google Maps and you can see what is near you. For reference, that piece is 8/4 walnut. Lumber mills sell by the board foot and is generally way cheaper than any big box store. The caveat is that you have to plane, joint, and do all the prep to the piece.
You will find it much more difficult to make those beautiful cutting boards without a thumb or only part of your right hand. Please use your push stick on the table saw.
I appreciate the comment. With all blade guards in place and in your opinion, what width or distance from the blade is required to use or not use a push stick?
I tried to fix, but as I am learning TH-cam, I cannot upload my new narrated, non-music version - sorry. Next video will have explanations and machine sounds as needed based on feedback.
Great video! Your work looks fantastic too

Bearded Viking Woodworks suggested your channel. Awesome video & congrats on taking the jump to uploading your first piece of TH-cam content!
They look gorgeous!
Wait what???!!??? What are those awesome clamps?

I would like to hear some instructions along the way for some of us newbies and hobbyist.

Maybe a voiceover kinda like bourbon moth does. Just my two cents. That southern Viking mentioned your channel. Good luck and god bless
They aren’t as good as they seem, have to elevate the board pretty high to use them. Made my own with uni-strut

Bearded Viking recommended you I will watch your video tonight good luck with the channel
Another BV member, coming to show some love and join your community
Love them! I visited to your web page and I didn’t see you mentioned the laser engraved. Only the rest of your tools. Did I missed it? 😁
No you did not miss it. They don't sell it anymore apparently, but it was bought on Amazon. It's a 3,000mw laser. It has a dated user interface and there are likely better ones out there today.

It is a 3,000 mw laser from Amazon. They do not sell it anymore, but there are a ton of options out there. I use it for a lot of things.
Nice video! What laser engraver is that?
It's been discontinued. It was from Amazon and was 3000mw.
@@thePracticalWoodworker Thanks, looks like it does a great job for you.
Where do you buy a piece of walnut like that? Nothing like that in the big box stores.
Search "lumber mill" in Google Maps and you can see what is near you. For reference, that piece is 8/4 walnut. Lumber mills sell by the board foot and is generally way cheaper than any big box store. The caveat is that you have to plane, joint, and do all the prep to the piece.
Never buy woodworking lumber from a big box store
👍Super
