I’ve just looked at your website for boards, blown away by the fact you donate to foster care projects. I’ve been a foster parent for 20 years in the UK, thank you.
I never made end grain boards before. I followed your steps exactly and my cutting boards turned out beautifully. Thank you so much! Also, I loved that you showed us your helper.
Regarding snipe, stagger your feeds. With boards between 1 and 2 inches wide, you can feed between 6 and 12 at a time through the planer. Just stagger the feeding of each board by a couple inches. You'll only get snipe on the first board in and the last board out, and if you're using a long piece or a sacrificial piece, then you'll effectively have none.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Thanks so much for making such a detailed video where you explain all the steps. I watch this video numerous times before and during putting together my first cutting board. I made a few mistakes along the way but learned a lot and was very happy with the finished product. Your video made this project a success. Thanks again and keep them coming.
best video on a step by step way to make and finish cutting boards... excellent job... and I always love seeing the younger generations interested in helping out.... great video...
Thanks for your experienced, i usually use mineral oil for the fist step then finish with some of product like wood finish contain polycrylic. Now im gonna change the last step to bee wax, that will save lot of money.
For those who have under powered saws. You can use a Freud thin kerf straight line rip blade. About $90 but it’s well worth it. With a consistent feed rate you can eliminate 95% of the saw marks. The other thing that can help greatly is, when you rip the thin strips, switch to a zero clearance blade insert.
Wow! What an excellent video. Great, detailed explanations. You have inspired me to make some boards and, from your other videos, I'm going to try router bowls next. I love your explanations and seeing your little helper in the shop. He is learning many lessons, some of the most valuable going beyond woodworking. Great father-son time. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos.
OMG thanks for the excellent video on here I’ll try and watch all of your videos for sure. No one else’s videos even come close too your quality. I can’t wait to start making my first cutting board. Thank you...
I see this is an older video, but it worked perfectly for me. I had never made a cutting board before, but it was a great guide. I made 2 boards already. Granted, I have a planer, jointer, and router table...and as you say, a crosscut sled for your table saw is invaluable, and very easy and inexpensive. For me, the most important thing is cleaning up the glue surfaces. Thank You...
@@SixEightWoodworks You omitted a couple of "tips". 1.) Make sure your juice grove jig doesn't break, or you drive the router off the edge. 2.) Don't get in a big hurry and go the wrong direction with the router inside the juice groove jig--especially on the final pass. You end up with a deep rut right in the middle of the board :).
I am just getting into woodworking and want to teach my kids as i go. This tutorial is great! Thank you for posting this. I am curious where your plans are for the router table and the jigs you made.
Hi there, just found your channel and it's full of awesome tips and tricks I've not seen elsewhere yet. You're a natural at teaching, have cool projects to inspire, and package your videos so well! Congrats and good luck on getting more subs!
Great job, getting my wood ready and will start after getting back from Montreal on vacation. Very indepth explanation of the process. Will review the video again. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.😀
I am in the process of making my first Edgegrain Board. I dont have a planer so i spent the last couple of days hand planing the boards with my cheap amazon handplane... Next step is glue-up and i am very exited how it will turn out :D
Thank you for posting this video and thank you for talking in it too. I like to know the why's of doing things rather than just seeing the results. And while we are talking about results, those are beautiful results.
@@rickdearmont9950 a good number 4 smoothing plane can replace both the drum sander and planer. I own a couple of Jack planes and smoothers and plan to do this project.
@@meilyn22 that would quite a feat for me to be alive without a brain, how does one live without a brain? I wasn’t aware that was possible. Yet another reason you thinking is not a good thing.
I used to have chip out using my planer with hard maple and a few others until I started moving the head in smaller increments. It takes longer because you have to run your boards through twice or more, but tear out is virtually non-existent now. I did learn a couple of things, thanks for the vid.
I see all the Seattle gear 😉 I live in port orchard ! I’m super new at woodworking cause I’m retired and need a hobby, your video was awesome Brother. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to walk through all of steps in great detail. I do have a few questions. Where do you get your wood from? The big box stores may carry some of the woods but they are pretty pricey. Applying the oil segment I didn't hear what type of oil you used and I noticed you were using pail/container for the overflow. Do you reuse the oil? Thanks again.
What a great video! Thanks so much for sharing - we will definitely put your ideas to work. Quick question - I might have missed it in your list - what drum sander do you have and how wide of a piece of wood can be run through it? I'm considering buying one and am curious what you've found to be useful in your shop. Thanks!
Hi great video. Quick question....you applied oil then wax. How does the end user maintain the board? Just wax? Do you apply more oil or is that not possible after waxing?
WOW! Your work is spectacular! I could not be more impressed with wood working skills like you have! I just finished my wood working 11 class in high school, and you are helping me get more ideas on how I can design my boards and many other projects to sell online as well. I have one quick question, where did you get your thickness sander? I need to get one of those sanders if I am going to make the cutting boards that I want to build and sell. Thank you so much for inspiring me to start my own wood working shop!
Awesome, Having the right tools, I don't small basement and like to start making with what I have, Small table saw, Chopping saw, sanders, clamps, and hand held router. Want to try it to see how it will come out. then I can spend some money of planer or better sander. Best to be able to find good cheap wood.
Very good video and I appreciate your technique and explanations. I’ve got my wood, clamps and glue. I do have a planer and drum sander and am attempting to initially make the end grain boards, but then cutting them again and turning them into end grain boards. Also, I’d like to develop some sort of jig for my router so I can make a juice groove and router the edges. Currently, I take them to a guy who has a CNC , only bc I don’t want to mess up what I spent so much time, making. Eventually, I’d like to confidently, do it myself
You are a fantastic teacher and I love you videos. I have learned so much from you. Thank you. I do have a question. after the light 320 sand the net day do you apply the wax right after? even if the board is still moist? I got a can of odies wood butter from my girlfriend and wondering if I can use that on my boards? oh yeah, everything you make is amazing. you've inspired me to try turning.
amazing work right there - but i do not understand a wax finish unless you go for the 'first look' only - knifes will go right through it anyways - or am i missing something ?
Well done. I can see you are very comfortable in your shop and you know your tools well. Very impressive. I did see one thing that would benefit you tho. I know changing a table saw blade sucks, but when doing a large amount of stock like you did here, a 24 tooth 1/8 kerf ripping blade will pay dividends in your time. It will cut about 1/3 faster than the combo blade you got there and it will actually leave less burns and be a straighter and cleaner cut... As long as you get a glue line ripping blade from a reputable company. I know people say you shouldn't use a full kerf on a 110v saw, but they are wrong. Yes you can push so fast that you stall the motor, but it's still faster than the others. The full kerf will reduce blade wobble. And if you don't want a full kerf then you can get a thin kerf ripping blade and put blade stabilizers on the sides of it so you don't get wobble and large amounts of burns. Other than that you knocked it out of the park. Especially impressive that you were able to get that juice catch done without any burns in the corners. Keep up the content. I'll be looking forward to more of your videos
Thanks for your comment. Totally agree with blade changes. I actually have the ripping blade and a few others I’ll swap in and out. Sometimes it’s being lazy (even though it would save me time in the long run), other times I just forget to swap out when milling. Definitely overdue to clean my blades too. The little things to add up and can really help with efficiency. Appreciate the reminder!
@@SixEightWoodworks ah! I get that lol. Happens to me all the time. Especially with bandsaw blades. I hate changing those things. Happy Thanksgiving, man. Have a good day
Hi beautiful work.. real artisanship.. one question why not do the 320 sandpaper before you dip it in mineral oil? maybe easier to sand smoother before the finishing oil?
I cut my boards to 21 in. And was getting snipe, figured out if you angled the boards going thru the planer it keeps the front roller from dropping and causing the snipe. I have a 13in. Dewalt planer. Some of the boards were 10 in. Wide, still works.
Starting into craft type woodworking projects now and I've always been interested to see how these cutting boards are made. A great tutorial that definitely has me thinking about a project for my son the chef.
Beautiful boards! Im a true beginner and have not bought a "true" piece of hardwood yet. Its very expensive. Still practicing on pine. How did you do the end grain handles? Do you a have a video more in depth?
Excellent video! Thank you! What's the best way to take care of a nice cutting board once you have one? Should I be putting wax on it occasionally? Mineral oil? Just trying to keep them looking nice. Seems like with a couple of mine, even washing off with just water and a dish rag really dulls them up and drys them out. What do you recommend for proper care and feeding of a nice cutting board?
You got it. Once they start drying out, add some mineral oil, board/butcher block conditioner, or board wax. My favorite thing for maintenance is Walrus Oil Board Wax. But if it’s pretty dry, you might want to add oil first.
Definitely the best from all the rest! Watched a dozen how to’s before this and after yours I’m FINALLY inspired. Great work
Love hearing this! Hope you have fun making some!
Cutting boards are end grain long grain are serving trays. They don't last and look and feel like butt after just a few uses.
I’ve just looked at your website for boards, blown away by the fact you donate to foster care projects. I’ve been a foster parent for 20 years in the UK, thank you.
Yeah, it’s a huge need worldwide! We fostered and adopted our two oldest sons. Happy to donate what we can and keep spreading word of the need.

you can also try a smaller diameter saw blade like a 7-1/4". just make sure the arbor size is the same.
