I appreciate your craftsmanship and your easy going demeanor. So many folks take things too seriously. You just seem to be having fun while you share your craft with all of us. Thank you..
I've long since moved to a different finish for my boards that is made by a friend of mine in Australia. You can find a link to it in the description of any of my more recent videos, including a discount code!
Dude...what an excellent video. Im a knife maker with zero wood working skills/experience and Ive been tasked with making a cheese knife set and cheese board for my brother in laws wedding. This content helped immensely! Thanks!
Just found your channel. I was looking for handle ideas! I’m diggin the new handle design. I’m stealing that idea but will give credit if anybody asks! Awesome beard!
Meh. I just need to become not so precious about scrap. I'm getting there. I mean, when you think about it, the waste I'm curring away probably cost me 42 cents or something.
I think English is my favourite, because it's the only one I'm fluent in. Took a bunch of French through school, and I understand most of what people say when they're speaking it, but couldn't hold a conversation. My favourite one to listen to is Australian. Which is like English, but cooler sounding. hahaha
You earned a like for your quality of work. They look great. You earned a Subscribe because I was laughing to hard at your intro, I had to watch this twice since I missed about 5 minutes. BTW, I call mine a COO-tray-mon board. Since I don't remember the how to spell it from my chef school days, I figure phonics is the easier way.
it's a great video and I was really looking forward to your explanation but the background music messed it up for me. I really wanted to know the ideal thicknsse for these boards? thank you for the share
I wouldn't say there's an "ideal" thickness. I start with 4/4 (1") rough stock and plane it until it's flat, so they generally end up between 3/4" and 7/8" or so, but I've made them as thin as 5/8" when I've had very twisted wood to start with and they're fine.
Everyone has to make their own decisions on what is safe enough for them. I personally wouldn't DRINK any wood finish, but I don't think you could ever consume enough of it from having it buffed into the wood and then resting against the surface of your food after it's cured.
For the amount of heat that comes through a coffee cup, it's okay. I wouldn't use it on something like a trivet that's for pans that come off a stove or something, though. Most of the time I would go with something more "refreshable" rather than something that will need stripping and refinishing eventually, but I was in a hurry on this batch, so I went with the fastest-drying thing I had on hand so I could get multiple coats done.
I start with inch-thick boards and they come out at about 3/4" when they're done. I probably wouldn't start with 1/2" boards, because they would end up too thin and prone to warping, I think, but if the finished thickness was 1/2", you'd probably be okay. But it's really hard to say, because every piece of wood is different and you can never really tell what it's going to do over time.
These ones were maple, walnut, sapele, cherry and padauk, but you can really use any use any hardwood that doesn't have big open pores. (Puoi usare qualsiasi legno duro che non abbia grandi pori aperti)
Do you like the glue line rip blade? I’ve got mixed emotions about mine I had high expectations for it and may that was the problem 😆 but it’s definitely better than a lot of blades I’ve had
I do like it, but my go-to has become the Freud "Heavy Duty Rip Blade" now, mainly because then I don't have to swap it out when I need a flat-bottom grind for grooves and other joinery.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff yeah I made rhe mistake of cutting through a 3” thick piece of white oak in one pass to its credit other than the saw dying 4-5 times in the process it did the job without having to turn the piece over
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff yessir. Nice and flat one day, then wobbly on the counter the next. I’ve angled my jointer fence and my table saw blade at 90, and after finishing they tend to cup
@@SFCSMOKER sounds like you're either using wood that isn't dry enough or there's a "use issue" with the final product. Wood boards need to be hand-washed and air-dried with air circulation around the whole thing....
Hopefully your local hardwood dealer has a selection of various woods. If you use local wood as the majority of the board and just accent with fancy stuff, it's not that bad for price.
Sure could! I tend to make my cutting boards thicker than these so they can be resurfaced more times, but I know a few people who have bought these to use to cut on one side and serve on the other.
I just use a small roundover bit on the ones with the handles. Probably a 1/8" one. I don't use one on the beveled edge ones, I just break the edges with sandpaper.

Seth Rogan is too stoned to do woodworking without losing fingers. He's also incapable of growing a proper beard. Pretty sure. He's welcome to stop by the shop to hang out, though.
@@themadhacker9376 if you like watching me struggle with things, you should check out the video I posted yesterday. Never seen anyone so terrible at opening boxes or keeping something steady with a holdfast.
Depends on various factors. I charge for all of my products based on the price of the wood that went into the piece and the time it took to make it. The ones in this video sold for between $50 and $75 Canadian, depending on whether they were bevel-edged or handled (which take longer), and the price of the wood(s) they contained.
Right now I'm only doing local sales (Campbell River, BC, Canada) but I'm looking to open a website with a sales/shipping aspect later this year and will make a post about it when it happens.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff You're right, of course. It is just I have been to many countries and the Parisians seem to delight in being rude to visitors. Outside of Paris the French are wonderful, just not in the city. Anyway, I really enjoy your channel, thanks.
@@ianbutler1983 Thanks for watching, Ian. Pretty sure that's the same everywhere, really. It'd like to think it's probably just because there are more people in closer proximity in big cities, so you come across the jerk-holes more frequently. Hahaha

@@WoodenThingsAndStuff awesome, I certainly will. Thank you!
You’ve got a good eye for design. You really do.

Thanks, Russell. My mouth just kinda goes and we see what happens after. Haha
You guys should hang out on Saturday nights at 5:30 PST for the live show. I actually have numerous couples who make it a date night.
Great work. Fun video.
Thanks!
Beautiful job. I use short pieces for charcuterie boards. Takes longer for glue-up though.
I can imagine it would. But whatever helps you make use of scraps, right?
Very nice looking boards and coasters. 😎🔥
Thanks! I like them, too!
I knew you were Canadian when I saw the green painters tape lol. Great work.
Do they not have green painters tape in other countries.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff I think it's blue in the states. The Sleemans gave it away anyway lol.
@@Malcrom1967 Maybe the Mastercraft stuff that pops up once in a while, too. haha
I've bought green painter's tape in the states.
You could glue it up with tiny scraps and leave no wood where the cut outs are. Maybe just one long board where the handle is.
Meh. I just need to become not so precious about scrap. I'm getting there. I mean, when you think about it, the waste I'm curring away probably cost me 42 cents or something.
Fucking psyched to learn woodworking from Tank Abbot. Lol. Great stuff brother. Needed to watch again, just got a huge batch of walnut strips.
Dunno who that is, but thanks! (I think)

Loved the charcuterie boards! They should sell fast!

You should do a video on the different blades you use and why 👍
I'll put it on my list. Thanks.

Glad you liked it
Ha. Your personality reminds of the great Tim Yoder. He is known for his wood turning.
Can't say I've heard of him, but I'll take it as a compliment, considering you referred to him as "the great Tim Yoder." Thanks for watching!

@@WoodenThingsAndStuff thank you for the reply
it's a very helpful tip.
I love your color choices and your personality. What is the length of your boards? Thanks
They vary a bit, but I try to aim for 16"-18" or so. Thanks for checking it out!
Why did you use a hand plane when you had a power one?
Been a long time since I've watched this one, but my guess would be simply because sometimes it's just nice to use a hand plane.
Stays crispy in milk! 😁
I have no data to provide one way or the other. But probably.
Sounds good the way you say in French!!!! Lol
Hahaha. Thanks!
what video camera are you using to make your videos?
I just shoot everything on my phone. Not sure what phone I had when I made this particular video, but woulda been a Samsung something.
You are hilarious 🤭😅❤️
Like, in a good way?
Yes, in a very good way, I laughed lots of times 🤭☀️
Great video l. How thick are the boards once there done? 3/4-1
Generally about 3/4. Depends how flat the stock was that I started with. A few of them sometimes get down closer to 5/8

I thought Howard's Feed-N-Wax was not food safe? At least that's what the Howard's website says.
Everyone has to make their own decisions on what is safe enough for them. I personally wouldn't DRINK any wood finish, but I don't think you could ever consume enough of it from having it buffed into the wood and then resting against the surface of your food after it's cured.
Trabalho profissional
Very good
Does the lacquer you put on the coasters protect it from hot things? Or are they to be used for cold drinks.
For the amount of heat that comes through a coffee cup, it's okay. I wouldn't use it on something like a trivet that's for pans that come off a stove or something, though. Most of the time I would go with something more "refreshable" rather than something that will need stripping and refinishing eventually, but I was in a hurry on this batch, so I went with the fastest-drying thing I had on hand so I could get multiple coats done.
Are you using 3/4 inch thick boards? Do you think 1/2” would work? Great work!

How you get a copy of the new handle, I really thatdesign.
So I gotta pay a membership fee told whatever to see what these would cost me to buy?
Or*(not told)
No idea what you're talking about. They went for between $50 and $70 CAD on my Etsy store while they were available.
Hello mate Can you tell me about the END wax or oil idk what is that the coater i mean , what is this ?
It's a blend of orange oil and beeswax.
Are you wearing long shorts or short longs ?
Depends if you're a "glass half full" person.
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff I guess that depends which side of the bed I woke up on
How do you keep your boards from cupping?
I've never had a cupping problem if the wood is properly dried and I mill it properly. Are you having cupping issues with your wood?
@@WoodenThingsAndStuff yessir. Nice and flat one day, then wobbly on the counter the next. I’ve angled my jointer fence and my table saw blade at 90, and after finishing they tend to cup

What do you sell your charcuterie boards?
In general, what is your price point range for boards like that?
$50-75 CAD depending on the woods in it and the time investment.
Nice boards. What is the average size and price you get for them? Cheers.
I generally aim for about 8"x16" or so, and they go for between $60 and $80 CAD, depending on the complexity and materials used.
What is the wax/oil blend you use?
It's called Howard's Feed 'N' Wax.
How much for charcuterie
Where would I get the different kinds of wood from?
Hopefully your local hardwood dealer has a selection of various woods. If you use local wood as the majority of the board and just accent with fancy stuff, it's not that bad for price.
Could these be used as cutting boards
Sure could! I tend to make my cutting boards thicker than these so they can be resurfaced more times, but I know a few people who have bought these to use to cut on one side and serve on the other.
Artiste🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks!
What were your dimensions for your board? Beautiful
They were all slightly different, but in general, I aim for 8"-10" wide and between 15" and 20" long. Most come out about 8.5"x17" or so.
What router bit did you use?
I just use a small roundover bit on the ones with the handles. Probably a 1/8" one. I don't use one on the beveled edge ones, I just break the edges with sandpaper.
How much do you sell them for?
Depends on the size and the woods that are in it, but anywhere from $40-$80 CAD.
What do you charge for your boards ?
Depends on the wood that went into them and the complexity of the board. These ones went for $55-75 CAD each.
WHERE DO YOU GET WOOD
At my local wood store.
I subscribed when I heard the French accent.. I considered unsubscribing when you defended the French though...
