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.
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
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!
@@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.
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.
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!
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
What a great video, Ive just completed a a run of natural edge boards all red gum which is and Australian hardwood. Im looking at a few new ideas and you may have provided me some inspiration.
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.
For curley maple gun stocks, we would raise the grain and knock it diwn as the last step before staining and oiling. We were hand building black powder rifles for fur trade era reenactments and so all of the Gunsmithing practices that we used were from that era. Acid staining and linseed oil. After wiskering the stock, we would apply a diluted acid, usually Hydrochloric, and let it dry and then just lightly feathered the treated wood with the flame of a propane torch. This would cause the wood to darken rapidly, and once the desired shade was attained, we would use baking soda and water to neutralize the stock and then just plain water to rinse the baking soda away and then allow it to dry overnight again before giving it one final gentle wiskering and then applying linseed oil. Applied as hot as the hands can stand and rubbed in until dry. One coat a day for a week. One a week for a month, and one a month a year with yearly applications thereafter.
It was really need to learn about. It was my father who was actually into it at the time, but I picked up some really neat skills just hanging out with him in the Gun Room. He recently gave me most of a wood shop, and so while I have always been more interested in working metal, wood has always presented a particular challenge for me that I wish to master. And so, I find myself on TH-cam! 😂
*Great information, I'm a woodworker learning how to use a lathe,* just made a oakfork, finished it with hemp oil and some food grade wax keep up the good work bye for now your new friend Ken God bless. I look forward to hear from you
Hey, my name is David I’ve been a Wood turner for 12 years now. Really have a passion for that. I’ve been a carpenter now for 41 years. When I discovered I could do something round I didn’t want to do nothing square anymore lol but I have a lot of small pieces of very nice hardwood I still do carpenter work even at age 66, but I want to do cutting boards to use up all the scrap that I am neck deep in and and my shop is roughly 1800 ft.² I was wondering how much do you typically sell those flat grain cutting boards for that you showed in your video which by the way was awesome I have near about all the tools you have except for that sled so if you could give me an idea of how much they sell for and how to pedal them and where. I’m kind of tired of going to the job and I want to try to make most of my living right here at my shop. I hope I didn’t take up too much of space in this comment. I am not very good with these iPhones. I’m just an old Carpenter, but so was Jesus so I’m in good company. Looking forward to your response. Merry Christmas.
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!
great video. I am somewhat new to woodworking and really enjoy these simpler task as I have started making table tops and those take so much time. I like that you do a batch. I tried to do that and noticed I need a lot more clamps. I going to gluing my first checkboard this week and see how it turns out. Thanks for the info on the template to use for cutting the drip groves. i was trying to figure out how to do that. Great work overall
Hello Nick, I just subscribed to your channel. I live in Mount Vernon, Wa. Love your work. Looking forward to seeing more projects. Carving Santa's and snowmen are my big interest. Plus some furniture.

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.
Props... I am a 50 yr old product of foster care
I just made my first cutting board and it turned out well thank to opening this video every 30 minutes and following each step. Thanks!
I appreciate your level of detail! You go much further than a lot of other youtubers in regards to explanation, sanding, finishing, etc. Love it!
Really appreciate that! It’s probably the verbose teacher in me coming out 😁

Sweet - the rotating stand in the first 15 seconds was awesome, the boards look great. I love all the extra steps and how they make it better.
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.
you can also try a smaller diameter saw blade like a 7-1/4". just make sure the arbor size is the same.
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.

Nothing more beautiful than multiple different tree carcasses glued into a color scheme
I found that planing those thin pieces of wood with a router works really well too.
Great video. Thank you.
Scene 1: "Here's an introduction to cutting boards for beginners" Scene 2:" Make sure you use a drum sander between every step"
And you can’t do this without a planar. Ok look for a different video. ☹️

If I had a dollar for every time he bragged about having a drum sander, I would have enough to buy a drum sander.
