I dont know that I've learned more in 1 video than this in a long time! Thank you Eric and Sandy a lot! I honestly hope I move to an area close to a woodcraft so I can take some classes. I never have too much experience!
Thank you! I learned a ton myself.
“Gotta let your wood rest”, it’s so true. Great episode, man!
Gotta love your honesty Eric!!!!
Mr. Gorges, your videos are some, if not the most, satisfying material on the net. I'm binge watching since I stumbled upon them a week ago. Every episode is watched & rewatched a couple of times. Thank you so much for the appreciated effort
Definitely wish I found this year's ago... but omg, thanks for making this... 💯🙌💯🙌💯🙌
Thank you! Never too late!
Beautiful cutting boards! Now I know how much work goes into making them. Great video and I learned a lot!
Thank you. It was a lot of steps but I learned a ton!
I Freaking Love Woodcraft! It’s my favorite store. Those guys are so helpful and super nice. I’ve never been to the store in Austin but it looks awesome. Thank you for the great video!
Great video. The first 5 minutes were gold. I learned so much. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That was a good class.👍
Agreed!
I love the way the curly maple just showed up after the milling process!
Me too!
Great video! Great information!!!
Best tutorial I was looking for ages. Received the answers to the unasked question. Much appreciated 👍💖
Thank you!!
Loved this video, I was just contemplating making me a large cutting board to use with my Traeger Smoker. Thank you.
You should definitely make a large cutting board. Super fun project.
A Craftsmans Legacy, Thanks. Hope to meet you if you ever make it to the Louisville Kentucky area. Would love to have an Autographed Book from you.
Great video and great questions to help beginners like me
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
REALLY like the learning experience. Obviously he's a pro and it's good to see someone else learning (whether you need it or not).
Always room for learning!
I'm not too sure about the check on both ends means firewood. I have been a cabinet maker for over 40 years and I have never had that problem. 7 years at a large commercial shop and then on my own for 35 years, I have processed hundreds and hundreds of board feet of lumber and I just don't see this as a problem. It may be this guys experience, but I have never seen it being a problem after the wood is machined. If this were the case, then solid raised panel doors would be extremely expensive because of having to wade through units of lumber to find no checking at both ends....
Yes the twist is a real problem and that is what really makes that twisted piece firewood, not the checking.
Thank you for that knowledge! Much appreciated. BTW: I like your binding clamps, super cool.
I really enjoyed watching this video. My turn to make some cutting boards now.
I like making them. I've done a few since this and enjoyed the process!
Nice Video, You cover the basics and some advanced means to determining the selection and choosing which edges need to be milled aka jointed / surfaced.
Thank you!
Great video I learn a lot thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Awesome thanks for showing what wood to use
Thank you!
Beautiful
Tons of great information in this video!
A few notes are needed,
1. Looks like the joining the boards face grain was edited out. As he said planers don’t make wood straight.
2. Rest time after glue up before machining, is a good thing to be mindful of.
I’m sure keeping video short is vital to editing decisions. If you needed to shorten video it may be a good idea to have a wrap up process stating the overall steps, so new wood workers don’t skip something vital. Great video though!
Thank you so much for the information. I always appreciate constructive feedback to make our videos better!
Flat boards is wood working, any thing else is carpentry.... "Mike drop" 🧐🤣🧑🏫
Haha!
Great video, Eric! Your cutting board turned out beautifully! Great combination of woods! Where did that little black pup come from that almost stole the show?? Buddy would be jealous!!
Thank you, Cindy! That little guy works at the store. He is very friendly.
@@CraftsmansLegacy he was such a cute little pup! A good greeter for the store!!
very informative for beginners like me, ty. I didn't see which specie's you ended up using. Loved this
Glad you enjoyed! We used Walnut, Maple, Purpleheart
@@CraftsmansLegacy thx
That's a great class there!
And now I'll tell people I do carpentry, not wood working!
Excellent!
I have a handmade drop point Hunter made by knife maker in Van Buren Arkansas with teak for the handle scales and it is beautiful
Sweet! There are some great bladesmiths in Arkansas
For some reason I want to hang out with Sandy. Seems like a good bro
I don't blame you! Sandy is a great guy.
WOW! Amazing video. The pace and information was great for people like me, beginners.
Glad it was helpful!
Great insight thankyou, now maybe I can graduate to a woodworker 👍
Haha! Thank you
Loved the video, and possibly a silly question, but what are you referring to in the beginning of the video when saying the board has a check?
Thank you! A check is a crack. Not sure why you don't just call it a crack!
I noticed you didnt raise the grain with water before oiling etc. I'm a total newbie just watching to learn first - will be starting this sort of woodworking as a hobby when I retire in a few months. So just getting stuff all in line and collecting timber from wherever I can scrounge some.
Awesome!
I was taught to cut to width then joint the bowed side as the planer will press down on the board and flatten it out as it is run through. I will spring back and be the correct thickness but the bow will not be removed. Run it on the jointer first then plane and you will get a straight piece of stock.
Well said! Thank you
I want to see if you guys do bamboo 37 5/8'' by 27 5/8'' by 2'' can it be done.
That's not something I would do.
👍👍👍👍
Question about the feet. Why would you not drill the holes for the feet then treat it, then screw them on. Now your board is somewhat compromised at those points
Good question Joe. The oil will still penetrate under the rubber footing so I don't feel there would be an issue of an unfinished surface. You could definitely apply them after though.
Them dang, crooks... 🤣🤷♂️🤔🙌🧐
I like the video but there needed to be a final shot of the cutting boards. I gave you a like though.
What happened to the footage with the jointer to flatten the surface? 🤔
It went straight from the tablesaw to the planer.
We didn't show it. Mistake on our part.
What happened to your tv show? I used to watch it on WTVS public tv in Detroit.
Working on Season 5 for 2021. Thank you
@@CraftsmansLegacy Awesome
Really like your show
Erm you didnt take any bow out with the jointer planer, you edged it, you then went straight into the thicknesser, that is not going to remove any uneven bowing unless you use a sled with packing shims
Facing on the jointer was not shown, just talked about. We did remove the bow with the jointer before going to the thickness planer. Good catch though, it should have been in the video.
There are two philosophies when it comes to woodworking…
The American way: use only the best 1% of your wood and chase it a through a machine park worth thousands of dollars to give you ultra-precision!
The traditional way (Japanese, English, French… Pick the one you want): Understand how wood moves and works in different environments and let it work your way…
Thanks. I like how you explained it.
Where the face grain or edge grain?
These are face grain boards.
I was just wondering why did you put it in a plastic bag?
Shipping back to Detroit.
I don't understand what checking is
Checking is/are cracks in the wood. Great question!
Mr. Personality.
That’s not woodworking, that’s machining.
All perfectly ok woods to use to make an amazing cutting board. The concerns are unfounded. This is obviously not a cutting board guy. Use hardwoods, stay away from red oak, use tite bond 2-3 with instructions not to put it in the dishwasher makes it a multigenerational board. Never use 4/4 lumber use 8/4 lumber...
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it.
purple heart can give off toxins and make you sick
he lost me at not using teak... arguably Teak is the best wood anyone could use to make a cutting board. These aren't display pieces, they have a function and a purpose, and to that end I don't know of anything that outperforms Teak. The wood both wont abuse your knives, and can take a great deal of abuse from the knives, you won't find ebony in big slabs in woodcraft but there's plenty of ebony slabs out there but the wood is too hard and will chip from cutting and ruin blades faster. I only make cutting boards using Teak in the center and other woods only as banding where I don't expect anyone to make cuts. Toxicity is also a whole other thing, not all wood toxicity is the same and some of those beautiful colored woods are toxic as hell and should be nowhere near your food... Teak is just about the safest option as well as the best performing.
All good info. Sandy's remark about using Teak was around the cost not performance. It's his opinion. Appreciate your comment and great information!
@@CraftsmansLegacy I totally get the cost argument, obviously I'm someone who personally just loves that wood in general. One of those things where you cry when you buy it but at the end of your project you never regret using it... not me at least. I really dug the color combinations in this video on some of those boards!
to many ads!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
"Flat boards is woodworking, anything else is carpentry." "You have to have the big 3s to do woodworking or else it is carpentry." That is so not true! I know so many professionals who work with wood in many different ways that would strongly disagree with this, it just isn't true! I could give you dozens of counter-examples, this is a horrible shortcut!
I don't think he was being all that serious. Appreciate your comment though.
