Watched several videos several times now. Think I'm getting ready to have some fun sanding my brains out. I appreciate the "blab" as you call it, since I'm looking for tips and how-to info. Thanks for your efforts to be clear and desire to do a good job.
I enjoyed your video. You ticked the tips I normally use. I have to admit it felt validating to an extent. I have a couple additional thoughts you might find useful. I sometimes run the screw for the handle through a rubber foot. The board sits on a non-skid surface and I avoid the extra countersink step. I think the feet are around six bucks per set. The other thing I do happens when I'm cutting to length. No matter the final length I'm using, I'll square up each end. Then I cut in 1" increments to my final length. I'm eventually left with free material for a chaotic end grain board. Thank you again for an enjoyable video.
Hi Nick Love the video - so much info compressed into a very neat package. Will have to watch again (and again) and take notes :o) Anyhow, I'd appreciate some advice on max width of the wood for glue-up (re. potential warping) what is the max practical width in your experience? Possible (future-proof) to glue up 3-4 inch panels together or better to rip everything to thinner strips (2 inches and below), even if it's the same wood? Thank you
Great vid im in the early stages of wanting too sell i like the idea of the small boards what sizes and thickness do you recomend also what thickness do you do coasters at thanks ste
Usually 3/8” to 1/2” for coaster thickness. Board sizes can definitely vary. You can see my different measurements of past pieces at www.sixeightwoodworks.com
I’ve only been woodworking for about 4 months and you’ve taught me quite a bit. I did want to ask when you soak Paduak in mineral oil does the color bleed into the mineral oil? I’ve noticed that some of my other projects look kind of red because I reuse the mineral oil. Thanks
Great video, love the explanations. I know these are serving boards, I'm curious about the CA glue. I've used it before for the same reasons, however I've heard that it's not acceptable to use for something requiring "food safe" like on cutting boards. Any input would be great.
On your trays are your dimensions 24x?x? Is 5/8” too thin for a tray? I use 3/4” face stock usually and can’t seem to make them come out 3/4” suggestions? ( other than buying 4/4 stock Beautiful.
I’ve definitely made some at 5/8” You just have to be careful how long you go with potential warping. Will depend on the wood and growth ring orientation.
I like the beautiful boards that you make; very nice work. However, I would like to see you make a thin strip cutting jig. You say you know what you are doing and it is safe for you. Maybe, but you are until you aren't. You can also purchase the thin strip jigs on Rockler. Good luck to you.
Hey Ken. Use some paste wax on the bottom of the plainer. It makes for a real slippery surface. The boards will glide thru. That what I did and it worked.
Disfruté de su video, muy informativo, especialmente en lo que respecta al final de venta de un negocio, pero más precisamente en lo que respecta a la madera con la combinación de comedor.

Henry Ford would be so proud of your working system... I've always thought having an organized assembly just saves you days a year. Great boards 👍Look up McMaster Carr for your screws, all sizes of just about every style sold there.
With the exotics IE paduck , purpleheart ETC. they are an oily wood. Before glue up you should wipe down the acetone or mineral spirits to remove as much of the oil within the wood. Just a tip for long term results over the years or hopefully decades.
Wow! Amazing looking boards. Question? How do you really decide what woods to group together, or do you just go by what looks good? Thanks for the video

Awesome! I see you upgraded your table saw since Cutting Boards 101. :) I have the same jbsite saw... scheduled for an upgrade one of these days. Which Saw Stop model is that?
I’m always left with unsightly sanding lines. I talk about some of the limitations and how I primarily use my drum sander in this video: th-cam.com/video/DXo3IsJEH3c/w-d-xo.html
I really enjoy your videos, they are so informative and easy to understand, I have learned so much from them. Thank you for sharing, your work is outstanding .
I've avoided it by running things through with a sacrificial board of the same thickness taped to the side. That way the end of the piece is extended and the snipe happens on the sacrificial piece instead.

Where i sell here in Thailand most people don't want to shell out $25 let alone $150.. Your video helped me so much.. Thank you.
good work and good tips
Such a GREAT video. Thanks for sharing all the tips and tricks of the trade. Every time you release a video I pick up something that I can use! !! !!!
Love hearing this! Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Great to see a fellow believer and woodworker. Keep up the good work bro!
Thank you!
Love your stuff, do some with CNC or xTool laser
For sure!
Brother I like your work and signage around the shop.
Appreciate it!

For sure! Silicone feet are definitely a nice touch. One day I’ll get around to a chaos board with all my cutoffs.
@@SixEightWoodworks I figure it only takes me a minute to cut them in some uniform pattern. Then of course they go in one of my many "someday" piles.
Great details and tips about sales - thank you for sharing. Looks like you produce very high quality boards.
Thank you!
Those are some great looking boards. I appreciate you giving us the advice and tips that will help us grow in this business
Much appreciated. Hope they help!
Very good, informative. I’m gonna have to check out your other videos
Really appreciate it!

Hi Nick.....have you ever added the rubber feet to your boards or the reason you don't add them?
Nicely done. Thanks Nick.
Much appreciated!
Knew this would be a win win with Micah 6:8 as a back drop...thank you for the excellent video and witness.
Much appreciated. Striving to live by those words.

Roller maintenance? Not sure, sorry!

Excellent info! Thank you for producing these helpful videos. What is a good thickness for a serving tray or cutting board?
For these type of trays 3/4”-1” is great. For cutting boards I usually do 1”-2” depending.
The miter gauge backwards !!??? The great ideas are the simple ideas. Thanks I will use it 👍🏻
New table saw!
Yeah!!

Hey Brian, I'm in Graham/Eatonville
How thick is your finished serving that's? Ty
About 3/4”-1” thick
With the exotics IE paduck , purpleheart ETC. they are an oily wood. Before glue up you should wipe down the acetone or mineral spirits to remove as much of the oil within the wood. Just a tip for long term results over the years or hopefully decades.
For sure. I talk a bit about that in the Wood 101 video.
Thanks!
Wow! Amazing looking boards. Question? How do you really decide what woods to group together, or do you just go by what looks good? Thanks for the video
I usually just wing it based on the wood. I do like to add the thin strips though.
Great video, How thick are your serving boards
Final thickness is usually 3/4”-1”
beautiful

What's the trick to keep the purple heart to stay purple, after time mine keep turning super dark where it doesn't even look that good.
I actually talk all about that in this video: th-cam.com/video/T0a3mpnX5CM/w-d-xo.html

Sure did! Still have the job site for flexibility and a backup. Here’s the model I have: amzn.to/3PKMYU0
So why don’t you use your drum sander to do your final sanding ?

Hey Nick, how do you ship your boards?
I’ve used the large board game flat rate boxes from USPS. Unfortunately, they’ve discontinued that size, so I’ll have to find a new method.
Why is every product is sold out on your website?

No matter how well I try and adjust my thicknesser, I can never totally eliminate snipe. Shits me.
I've avoided it by running things through with a sacrificial board of the same thickness taped to the side. That way the end of the piece is extended and the snipe happens on the sacrificial piece instead.
Most of those boards cost you about $70 to make. I would up the price to at least $200.
For sure. Loads of variables with pricing.
Show..
Face grain, and edge grain are the same thing.
There is something odd about the way you talk, i cant quite put my finger on it, but it sounds odd
