I watch a lot of carpentry and woodworking on TH-cam, I'm 17 and have attempted to pursue it as a hobby in school etc, I've always had a huge appreciation for it. I discovered your channel today and just absolutely loved your work and the effort and time that clearly goes into your videos. Thank you for sharing your work with us!!
Levi, keep at it! I chose metal as a career, just retired after 40yrs. I set up a wood shop and love it. Sometimes wonder if I should have gone with wood. Hope your still sticking with it. Learn some welding/metal work and incorporate the wood and metal. It's a lot of fun.
Happy I found your channel. You have a very straightforward way of describing your methods and techniques, a good sense of humor, and a positive attitude. Makes me excited to keep making my own stuff.
I’m very grateful that I found your channel sir. I was just looking for a how to make beautiful designed end grain Butcher Blocks and Bread Boards. You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing
OK, just going to comment again rather than editing my last comment again. On the bandsaw you can create a zero clearance insert to avoid some of that blowout. Or a lazy way is to put some masking take across the slot next to the blade, doesn't last but it helps.
I’ve tried the masking tape method at the table saw in the past, does work well for a short time. I definitely need to look at something more permanent for my bandsaw.
Hello, Ryan, may I ask you if spending extra on quality featherboards like the one you have in your tablesaw @8:26 is worth it. I have found some cheap ones for 200 BRL, but idk if it's worth spending extra in that.
I've watched hundreds of wood working videos and I've never seen somone use the saw backwards like that. It solves a huge issue. Also, the reason I avoid oak in cutting boards, I still use it now then, is that leaving metal on it with moisture will bring out the tannins and cause black stains. It's on my list to make a small solid oak end grain board and do the vinegar and steel wool thing on it to turn the entire thing solid black and see how the black layer holds up to use.
A small thing. You have all those barrels sitting there. Why not pop 1 at the end of the cutting table. All your cuts will fall into it and you wont have to collect them at the end from the floor. Same for your rubbish. I watched as you threw it onto the floor. Barrel or bin. Safety for you too.
Great question and one I wish I had a simple answer for. It seems like the internet leans towards it isn’t but some brands like Krazy and Rhino glue are considered food safe by the FDA, while others like Titebond and Starbond are not. Some say it’s only toxic while fresh and once dry it becomes inert like an epoxy. Others say it maintains its toxicity even when dry and softens when it comes into contact with water. I’ve used CA glue in my boards at home and I haven’t experienced it softening when wet. I’m of the opinion that it is non toxic once cured.
@@ryanhawkins Epoxy contains epichlorohydrin which is carcinogenic. Under the knife cuts, micro-particles of epoxy will mix food and you really don't what that. I guess it is the same for CA glue, don't want to eat micro-particles of CA glue.
I gotta say, whether the performance is better or not, I think I like the look of the oak more than any other species you've used in your boards. You made one for yourself; how does it stand up to heavy knife use? I have a bunch of used oak hardwood flooring that I may use to make my own board, shamelessly copying you, of course. 😂
***obligatory, you used oak for a cuttingboard comment*** :-) You edge jointed teh stave on the table saw with no jig? Parkt of the reason I don't use more staves is that using my jointer jig on the table saw makes using them cumbersome. If you showed a deteiled explination on this it could be a game changer for many folks. Great video! Great pace!
Excellent work. We've been using oak, yellow pine, larch, popular, maple, cherry, cypress and other woods making boards for over 40 years. Sold many 100's of boards, given away boards and have never once has anyone gotten sick from using one of our boards. There's nothing wrong with using those woods. We don't use walnut or any nut woods nor imported woods, domestic woods only. Thanks for sharing your work.
Ryan, I'm a new subscriber long time woodworker. Building highboys after 66 years in the shop is becoming a thing of the past. My lathe is my go to tool but my interest in cutting boards is getting stronger. Like your attitude and if you give me the nod I will use it in my opening remarks as I teach others the how to of our trade. Great video.
Fantastic job, Ryan! I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and I love your work. It's always a huge dose of inspiration. Actually, I'm getting ready to start my woodworking/DIY channel and at the moment I'm finishing the restoration of a 60-year-old jointer (which will make my first video). Tomorrow is the last day: assembly. And my idea for my first woodworking video is making a couple of end-grain cutting boards. What a coincidence. I already have a stack of 10-yea-old, unused white oak parquet boards which I'm going to repurpose into those boards. I hope your video is a good omen. :) Thank you for the inspiration and making me feel like a copycat! ;)
Great boards !! Great Concept. Alot of hard work is never fast and easy. As you can see, White Oak is used for Wine Barrels for a very good reason, its harder than Teak. Cutting boards need to be cleaned with Bleach or Alcohol, rinsed and re oiled because Foul Funk can grow anywhere on any wood especially with Meat and Fish.
Sounds like you need to add a drum sander to that wishlist. I have to borrow a friend's when I cut strips like that. Edit: Oh my, and some tables. You gotta stop putting that heavy stuff on the floor. For my backs sake, it hurts watching that.
Awesome video, I build all my cutting boards out of many different types of wood, and White Oak is a large part of all of them. Been doing it for years, also use a lot of reclaimed wood. I like the barrel idea will have to get a hold of the couple of distilleries we have around me.
Amazing to watch and see end result. I have a large amount of white oak that was a very cheap barn find and now I have idea what to do with that material. Really Enjoy your content.
Right now, no, as I have to let some staves dry out a little longer before working with them. I will be making some almost identical boards using reclaimed hardwood flooring, pre-ordering through my website if that’s of interest to you 🙂
Love your work man! You have the same table saw as me and a very similar planer and watching what you do always inspires me to go get back in the shop and keep learning and creating.
I find most people talk too slow in videos and I speed them up to fit more in. (That’s why I prefer videos without music!) Great work, great video. Good luck in your endeavours.

You’re most welcome! Glad you’re getting some value out of them. I encourage you to pursue woodworking in whatever way you can. 🙂
Keep on keepin' on Levi! It's great to hear such a young buck having such an appreciation for woodworking!

Hey Ryan....just built a glue up jig like yours out of scrap wood and old pvc....cant wait to give her a try!!
Wonderful work, congratulations
I’m very grateful that I found your channel sir. I was just looking for a how to make beautiful designed end grain Butcher Blocks and Bread Boards. You’re awesome!
Thank you for sharing
Glad it’s of help to you!
Thanks!
If you put the crown up on the jointer it will totally flatten one side
Screw the planer. You need a drum sander my friend.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thank you!

Do all the cutting boards include your “fiddle factor”?…I don’t want one that has been fiddled on

I’ll say yes, although I don’t believe mine are the best ones on the market. I think I got a pair of them for around $35 CAD

What bit you use for the handle?
1.75" Freud double flute straight bit
@@ryanhawkins thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Is this White oak ?
Yes it is
Is CA glue food safe? I thought it wasn't so I have never used it on cutting surfaces.

Ryan the cutting boards look exactly like miniature brick walls❗ Great job 🙂
Thanks!
I love the outcome of glue ups, but damn their a lot of work! Great video and content. Nice work 👍
With the 3-D cutting board what angle do you run the pieces through the bandsaw?
Great speed, nice explanations, overall relaxed and great results.

I don't like walnut at all. Do you make any that are all oak?

Your comment brought a big smile to my face, so glad to hear I’m being of service to you! All the best to you and your upcoming channel 🙂
Love how you manage to make such awesome stuff without a workshop full of fancy machines
I do the best I can with what I got!
It's amazing what one can produce without a full-blown shop. Some things take a little longer, I think it's part of the fun figuring things out.
Great boards !! Great Concept. Alot of hard work is never fast and easy.
As you can see, White Oak is used for Wine Barrels for a very good reason, its harder than Teak. Cutting boards need to be cleaned with Bleach or Alcohol, rinsed and re oiled because Foul Funk can grow anywhere on any wood especially with Meat and Fish.
Wonderful video! Can you speak on the proper care & cleaning of a cutting board, please and thank you?
Very Nice
Thanks!

Drum sander is on there for sure!
Too much glue is bad for human …. because lot of comical
There's a dog in the background! :)
Another great video!! Keep the content coming!!
Thanks! You are an inspiration to someone starting out.

Really beautiful. I love this boards. I might try myself to make some. You are a big inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed the show!

Did u link that fancy multi mode sander? If not could u please?
Sure thing, link has been added. Just below the link for the sandpaper
Hi, are the reclaimed whiskey barrel boards available for purchase/order again?
Right now, no, as I have to let some staves dry out a little longer before working with them. I will be making some almost identical boards using reclaimed hardwood flooring, pre-ordering through my website if that’s of interest to you 🙂
God bless you mate for the last few words ar the end, and may God bless you and your work forever
Thank you kindly!

Love the look of the “thinner brick” for the style 👍
Thanks!
Inspirational! Thanks!

U talk too fast !
That’s good feedback, thank you.
I disagree I think is quite good, I find it boring when people talk slow
I find most people talk too slow in videos and I speed them up to fit more in. (That’s why I prefer videos without music!) Great work, great video. Good luck in your endeavours.
