Leo is a great help 👍 lovely to see kids enjoying and being interested in woodworking. Reminds me of myself as kid with my dad in his workshop. I learned so much 👍 nicely done 👍
The plaid cutting board was very well done. I am more impressed that someone of your skill level is willing to take the time to show in detail how to complete this project. Thank you for showing us less skilled woodworkers how we can challenge ourselves to try something new.
Thanks! I made the cutting board for the same person that I made this chess board for last year (th-cam.com/video/ipCyrXgr5RQ/w-d-xo.html), so I figured I'd put together a video to show how I went about doing it.
I really appreciate channels like yours where you're creating beautiful, professional pieces in a shop that seems designed for building things. You obviously have some nice equipment mixed in but it's nice to also see some tools like the Delta miter saw and lunchbox planer in there. Content that focuses on the art of building something rather than one big Festool & Sawstop ad. Love the videos I've learned a lot from you !
Thank you. Yes, I try to be practical when acquiring tools and try not to go overboard with spending. For example, I use my miter saw primarily for rough cutting lumber, so I prioritized space saving vs. precision and that helped keep the cost down.
@@oldhess I spent more than that on my CNC, but worth every penny I spent. Mine also has included a verticle workstation for working on the ends of pieces, and a turning center that does not mount on the table top, but is on the side of table - 10" diameter x 50" long capability.
I love your projects...With me, the question isn't would you make it? but Can you make it? With your inspiration and calmness I will answer Yes! Thanks and can't wait for more.
As a woodworker, I'm hooked! The craftsmanship, design and final product are top notch. Your production quality is right up there too. Lighting, flow, narration, camera placement...even the music. Bravo! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for sharing your video with us!! I recently made two of these plaid boards. And, they came out magnificently! They are the talk of the town! Thank you again!
Good Lord! That’s spectacular!!! I’m going to copy your plan for my father’s next birthday. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t find this video before Christmas this year. You have no idea how many siblings I have- all of whom will adore this sensational cutting board.
Nice to see your helper in the shop and wearing hearing protection. However, I think training him to wear safety glasses will go a long way when he gets older. Great work. You can tell you must have put in a lot of planning for this pattern.
New subscriber here,yes I wood make it if I had a shop like yours,the final product is gorgeous and your design just beautiful,one of the best videos,easy to follow along with your clear narration,looking forward to your next video,cheers!
I'm new to woodworking, and I'm quite a bit in awe after watching this. I'm not ready by a long shot to make anything like it, but I'd love to be able to. I'm saving for a larger shed that I can turn into a shop, then my next purchase will be a sawstop. I'm just looking to have a small shop, though. I own a lot of hand tools, but as it is now, the only tools I have that I saw you use were the miter saw and random orbital sander. I can't do everything you're doing, but I love watching the process as you do it.
Sawstop is a great tablesaw. Save your fingers by being careful and safety aware whenever you work with tools that have sharp edges. Spend the money you save on not getting the Sawstop on a good drum sander. Woodworking involves a LOT of sanding! Best of luck.
Amazing. Enjoyed the video. I’m a wood turner but have recently started building traditional stuff and cutting boards are one thing I’m working on. New subscriber here.
What a fantastic cutting board, Mike. I love the attention to detail, my friend, and the colors of the wood are perfect. You are the master of the cutting board. I also find your video is very creative with great focus. Keep coming with more content. Thank you for sharing on the platform. Felix
ABSOLUTELY! I just wonder what this would sell for on the internet! I've seen lots of cutting biards just slammed together and they charge a fortune! This, IS WOOD ART and I don't think people would use it as much as display it!
Now that's how you do a plaid end grain board! I've seen other variations where people use face grain strips and they all seem like they'll fail eventually.
Excellent job. The process is perfectly executed and I really appreciate the quality of the presentation. You’ve got a great presentation voice and the music doesn’t distract from the process. I’ll stick to fine furniture.
Such videos are so beautiful. I subscribed after seeing one of the chessboard making videos. Very professional, creative and artistic. Background music is always soothing. I watch your videos sitting relaxed having my coffee. Great channel. Regards from Beirut, Lebanon
I have done some woodworking and I have found that a Lazy Susan Turntable is a real help when doing finishing.Having to turn the pc. when wet with lacquer or other finish medium's is a breeze.
Great projet. I like the pacing and narration. The soft jazz music almost knocked me out. I was close to having to watch your video two or three times to finish it in one pass. Question: why not round the corners on the CNC if you already had it set up and zereoed in?
Great looking board. Nice to see you have the grandson with you, But I am concern on how many times you put you hands in harm way of the saw and band saw. Please be carefull. Thank you for shareing your technique.
Would I make it? Well, I'm going to try...I'm currently working on a basket weave design, but yours is probably the best I've seen (I have a thing for plaid). I'll try and stomach the thing I'm working on now, but when I finish, I'll try this.
Simply beautiful! This board would be an art item for me lol I would have it on my counter but never use it. I would hate to mark it up. Great work, I love watching people that are this skilled and make such fantastic projects.
Very nice 👌 as a Scot it's nice see someone doing things like this and may I say bravo. Although me getting these kinda woods over here is a struggle. Can I ask though what do u use to clean the sandpaper??🏴👍
I think I have the same band saw as you however I can’t use my fence bc once I tighten it it goes out of square.. is that fence stock or is it another brand? Love the cutting boards btw! Thanks
Before putting oil on boards I always squirt them with some water and let it air dry to bring up the grain, then sand one more time and then oil. That way the board won’t get rough again once it get wet.
Interesting piece. Only comments are maybe I will make one some day, but a lot of work. Probably a better gift than some thing to try to market. Also, for a finish for them, walnut oil is far better than mineral oil because after penetrating, it actually cures and hardens. Mineral oil never cures. There are a couple of brands made for wood bowls. Dr's Wood shop is one, Mike Mahoney's is another. Store bought walnut oil in the salad section isn't the same thing, some of it cures, some doesn't. The walnut oils are heat treated to break up the proteins that can cause nut allergies.
This is a gorgeous board and I finally understand how to make one! I guess my issue is whether or not these are really profitable at all to make. The amount of time needed to complete these is a lot. Are these more showpieces for people or can you charge enough to make it worth your while?
Of all the cutting board videos out there. This one has to be the dopest design.
Leo is a great help 👍 lovely to see kids enjoying and being interested in woodworking. Reminds me of myself as kid with my dad in his workshop. I learned so much 👍 nicely done 👍
Gotta love the hearing protection on your helper. My granddaughter’s are pink. She always wears them when we turn anything on. Great teaching early.

Lol there's still over 20k in tools there.
@@oldhess Not sure what your point is. Should someone who's a woodworker NOT invest in good tools to make their product better?
@@oldhess Good tools are definitely worth it, but it's not the tools that make the difference, it's the person using the tools.
@@oldhess I spent more than that on my CNC, but worth every penny I spent. Mine also has included a verticle workstation for working on the ends of pieces, and a turning center that does not mount on the table top, but is on the side of table - 10" diameter x 50" long capability.
You have a little man helping you that is why you make beautiful work.
I love your projects...With me, the question isn't would you make it? but Can you make it? With your inspiration and calmness I will answer Yes! Thanks and can't wait for more.
*Wow!!! This has to be the BEST looking cutting board I have ever seen!!!*
Hallo, Du bist der beste Schneidbrett Hersteller den ich gesehen habe. einfach Klasse!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Germany
Your video and project are among the best I have seen. Thank you so much for the fine presentation and sharing!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love your videos. Very beautiful work. You take the time to explain what you are doing and that makes a world of difference.

Beautiful board! Also enjoyed seeing the iron ring
Hi, Mike. Your job is excellent. Your little helper takes safety seriously.
Thank you so much for sharing your video with us!! I recently made two of these plaid boards. And, they came out magnificently! They are the talk of the town! Thank you again!
Beautiful board and I like you speak well and are easy to hear. The music is not overpowering. Yes, I wood make this. Liked, subscribded.
Good Lord! That’s spectacular!!! I’m going to copy your plan for my father’s next birthday. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t find this video before Christmas this year. You have no idea how many siblings I have- all of whom will adore this sensational cutting board.
The Musics in your vídeos are very beautiful and tasteful as their creative and excellently executed works of art.
Nice to see your helper in the shop and wearing hearing protection. However, I think training him to wear safety glasses will go a long way when he gets older. Great work. You can tell you must have put in a lot of planning for this pattern.
Once the oil hit the board and the colours popped.
Great video.
I just completed 2 of these beautiful boards. They are the best things I’ve made so far! Very rewarding thank you!
Another beautiful & artfully done piece of work. Thanx a multimillion for sharing.
This has been the most informative and helpful video I've found so far for cutting boards. Beautiful craftsmanship
Nice work man. beautiful board. I will definitely try this. I want your bandsaw too. LOL that thing went through that walnut like it was butter.
New subscriber here,yes I wood make it if I had a shop like yours,the final product is gorgeous and your design just beautiful,one of the best videos,easy to follow along with your clear narration,looking forward to your next video,cheers!
nice craftmanship there sir. like the way you work and not relying most of that on CNC as some others do.
What a great board! I want to start making cutting boards, but need to get mine planer first.
I'm new to woodworking, and I'm quite a bit in awe after watching this. I'm not ready by a long shot to make anything like it, but I'd love to be able to.

Very nice indeed. Lots of cutting, gluing and sanding, but well worth it!! Keep up the good work.
Beautiful board, I would have never thought you could make plaid. The boards turned out beautifully!
It's not a question of would I make it, but when will I make it !!! Thanks for the awesome video 😎
Amazing. Enjoyed the video. I’m a wood turner but have recently started building traditional stuff and cutting boards are one thing I’m working on. New subscriber here.
It looks like every piece of furniture in my grandpa's house, which means you did an excellent job!
Very nice, and I'm glad you demonstrated the utility of using the metric system. I, too, have made the switch and am glad I did.
What a fantastic cutting board, Mike. I love the attention to detail, my friend, and the colors of the wood are perfect. You are the master of the cutting board. I also find your video is very creative with great focus. Keep coming with more content.

Very nice, the mineral oil really made the color pop. Great gift.
This is so beautiful, it kind of reminds me of a Scottish Tartan

Thanks! I spent a few months working in Jounieh about 25 years ago. I really enjoyed the opportunity to experience Lebanon.
@@Woodumakeit wow! Glad that you enjoyed Lebanon. Hope you visit us again or seeing you in the US and order a chessboard from you :)
That's a good looking board! Your experience with chessboards no doubt makes this a simpler project. Well done!
I have done some woodworking and I have found that a Lazy Susan Turntable is a real help when doing finishing.Having to turn the pc. when wet with lacquer or other finish medium's is a breeze.
everything well aligned. very well done sir.
beautiful cutting board!
also great workshop you got there.
Wow that is gorgeous! I just love how it comes to life when you add the mineral oil.
Very labor intensive but well worth the effort! Well Done!
Great projet. I like the pacing and narration. The soft jazz music almost knocked me out. I was close to having to watch your video two or three times to finish it in one pass. Question: why not round the corners on the CNC if you already had it set up and zereoed in?

Yes! Great board. Love your shop.
Yessir, that is very beautiful! I would love to make it! Thank you for sharing how you made it.
Beautiful workmanship!
A very beautiful board indeed. This is surely worth the time and effort to make. Really enjoyed the music as well. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice. A great project to post for the rest of us.
That is to beautiful to use. You do very nice work.
I’m loving the background music
A good display workmanship.!
This is amazing. Yes I am thinking about making a plaid one because of this. 👍🏼
Wow, very impressive. You have an immense amount of patience, with all those glue-ups.
I’ve never even SEEN this done before, amazing work😮💨👌
Simply awesome. Thank you. Greetings from Antalya...
Wowww thats a lot of work. I wouldnt wanna do one personally but was cool to see
Just what I was looking for. Thanks brother
I would .......but mine most definitely would not look as beautiful as yours. I love this project.
Absolutely beautiful, maybe some day I will attempt it.
Glad the young one was able to work with you! Sad that i have to say young ones need to “learn” how to work
Nicest plaid board on the app that I’ve seen.
The board looks absolutely awesome Nice Job.
Parabéns Mestre, seus trabalhos são magnífico! Grande este seu auxiliar. Recomendações do Brasil
Would I make it? Well, I'm going to try...I'm currently working on a basket weave design, but yours is probably the best I've seen (I have a thing for plaid). I'll try and stomach the thing I'm working on now, but when I finish, I'll try this.
That's a handsome board.... nice...
Beautiful detailed work as always. Why did you choose the bandsaw over the table saw
Simply beautiful! This board would be an art item for me lol I would have it on my counter but never use it. I would hate to mark it up. Great work, I love watching people that are this skilled and make such fantastic projects.
Yes, I would make it. Hopefully it would come out as beautiful as your boards did. Awesome project. you do beautiful work.
Looks nice, well done!
Wonderful content and expertly explained!! thank you good sir, thanks to the lil shop helper Leo! Hes a rockstar
Very nice 👌 as a Scot it's nice see someone doing things like this and may I say bravo. Although me getting these kinda woods over here is a struggle. Can I ask though what do u use to clean the sandpaper??🏴👍
Appreciate the full build video, thanks for the helpful tips!
Hermosa tabla Me gustaría saber cuánto sale Y dónde Puedo comprarla Muchas gracias muy buen trabajo
Very pretty boards! I would be so nervous with the amount of short grain on those thin strips!
This is going to be my next project
Gorgeous Board! Dumb question though, I may have missed it but how long were each of the strips by wood? Thanks!
Thank you this was great. Great music as well
I think I have the same band saw as you however I can’t use my fence bc once I tighten it it goes out of square.. is that fence stock or is it another brand? Love the cutting boards btw! Thanks

Beautiful. I am making some myself but one quick question, how long are the individual sticks of wood prior to your first glue up? 20" or 10"?
Amazing! My new favorite cutting board!
Nicely done
Gorgeous!
Millimeter always wins, even surgeon use them when precision is needed; we should just adopt the metric system! Btw: beautiful work!
Gorgeous!!!
Beatutiful; as son as I can upgrade the shop a bit, I'd LOVE to make one of these...
Very nice board really good job keep the video's coming

It looks great!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks!
@@Woodumakeit You're welcome!!
How long do you leave between glue ups before re cutting and adding the strips etc… overnight??
Love the tunes
This is a gorgeous board and I finally understand how to make one! I guess my issue is whether or not these are really profitable at all to make. The amount of time needed to complete these is a lot. Are these more showpieces for people or can you charge enough to make it worth your while?
