Lol my OCD was screaming when I saw you glue the two light brown blocks together in the beginning and I had to force myself to watch the rest. When I saw the method to your madness on the second cut/glue I finally understood... You got me, you got me good. 😂😂 looks fabulous by the way
+Bailey B 😂
I was exactly the same!! But knew from seeing finished product at start it looked right so had to see why it ended up right lol

That was bothering me too
Lmao, me too. I almost commented on it at the time but waited it out. :D
Tip for burn marks: Leave your router in the exact same config as when you burned the wood. Wet the burnt area and let it dry. As we all know, wetting the wood will cause it to expand a bit. When it dries it will be slightly proud of where it last was. Run the router over the area again. It should take off just the top layer or so, exposing the unspoiled wood beneath.
That sounds like a great idea. I will have to try that. Thanks +Brian Hackett
Brian Hackett I have been wondering how to do this! Maple and Cherry seem to burn easy. I will be trying this out. I already wipe my boards down in between sanding with a wet rag to raise the grain. Helps to keep it smooth after I apply the conditioner.
Or just use sharper router bits 😼
@@Althoffwoodshop Slower router speed, go slower, make shallow cuts, and do multiple passes.
@@Althoffwoodshop Also, a little sandpaper 120 grit on a dowel (thats what I do for random small router burns) can clean the burn marks up or minimize them pretty quick. Nice board there.
Otustanding! Exactly what I need to help me build my first one. Thank you.
Belissima peça.....parabéns!!!
Good job Man ! I like the Way You work. (What is the title of the music)
+nitrosPawa1 thank you! I'd have to go back and look. It was a royalty free one from Google
Ok thanks ;)
+nitrosPawa1 tag @althoffwoodshop when you do
Shame about the burn marks, still looks great though!
C
Agree
What are the large clamps you’re using?
Jorgenson Cabinet Masters. Got them at Home Depot
I Know why you did not remove the burn marks.....hard as hell!!!
Why didn't you use waterproof glue?
Titebond 2 is sufficient
Also titebond 3 can leave dark glue lines
Looks like big tear out @ 5:38, no?
+atty binary I had to go back and watch. there wasn't any issue with the board after that cut but I can see how it appeared that way. Good eye though!
5:46 what device did you use?
It is a marking gauge amzn.to/2j1kiXP
thanks
01:56 I don't think my OCD will allow me to continue watching this video with that color arrangement.
03:59 Ahh, clever you!
Hmmm I finally followed Robert's advice and took woodprix. It's great for beginners, and has some advanced stuff too.
hi, great vid!
pitty about the router burns😬 tip: removing less material by doing more passes with a new or sharp router bit will eliminate this👍🏼
+darren green thanks!
I thought the same. I'd sand those out.
i think its the bit rather than the amount of material, didnt seem like much was being taking off
You just take a 1/32 or so of material off on a final pass and most all burned wood will be eliminated.
I was gonna ask why this was happening. I like the 1/32 final pass, same concept we used in my machining class.
It's a shame that you spent 9 hours of work making a beautiful cutting board but chose to leave the burn marks from your router. As this is an old video with many comments, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you there are plenty of options to avoid and fix this. For those new to the channel, the first hit when googling "Wood magazine router burn marks" is a great article on how to identify why it happened, how to fix it, and how to prevent it.
It's a shame you spent 9 hours writing a negative comment on someone else's work, how would you feel if someone criticized how you do a bad job begging on the street?
I thought the same thing watching this video
I could spend all daylong watching this kind of videos, I have some woodworking projects in my channel if you wnat to check it out!
Why wouldn’t you sand out the burn marks?
ouch, you need a new round-over bit lol, great job though
Now I understand why these cutting boards are so expensive!
Why did you leave the burn marks from the router in the handle and the juice groove?
4:01 was the best looking one :(
That wasn’t the end grain. Nice looking but not what he was looking for. You use the end grain of wood on cutting boards for multiple reasons but I think mostly it dulls knives less.
@@thomaspaquette9991 yes
What bit do you use for the finger holes @6:17 ?
Its a Bowl and Tray bit made by Whiteside. I bought mine at my local Woodcraft.
Nice work in general. But you could have skipped the juice groove. Would have made the board better looking and more practical, as without a groove it's easier to scrape stuff off the board.
Indeed. Customer wanted it though and didn't want to be talked out of it.
Thank you! this is the first video i've watched i didnt get anxiety watching people reach across a table saw.
Am late to the party anyways nice work -one question - what steps or process did you use when setting the distance of the stop blocks for the handles to ensure they were centered - many thanks
Lots of measuring
Thanks for sharing! I like your techniques and details. One issue I suggest to improve your quality is to remove all router burn marks. Maple is notorious for getting burned when routing. Cut it, scrape it, sand it off. Whatever it takes. Once you apply finish you really can't go back. Especially with your cool logo on there. Thanks again.
+rob MCNEIL thanks Rob!
Such a nice block! Please tell me that you didn't leave the burned spots on the inside corners...
I did for the comments to boost engagement... /s
Can someone please let me know what that awesome glue roller is? Can’t seem to find it in any searches. It’s some kind of striated silicone or something. Really want to get one!
Its at Woodcraft. Its awesome.
Very nice board. Might i add that juice wells ruin the look for me and also reduce the usable area. I think clean surface helps to show the beauty of the wood and your work better. Keep it up!
great video but holy shit the guitar in the background music was painful
Thanks. That royalty free music does leave much to be desired.
This is so addicting too watch, best part of any cutting board video is always the finish oil. Thanks for the upload!
For those out there thinking about doing this, just be warned that running an end grain board through a planer is rolling the dice. It can go horribly wrong, destroy the board, and harm your knives. So, milage may vary. Just be warned that it is something that is a real possibility. Use a router sled if you want to avoid the planer, or just use a hand plane.
Life is a roll of the dice.... take light cuts: 1/64 to 1/32. Use cawls on the ends and cut off later to prevent chip out on the ends. Make sure your blades are sharp. Check out mtmwood, broinwood, and other pros that make end grain boards for a living - they use planers.
Sweet. Isn’t it sketchy to run end grain through a planer??
Yes, proceed with patience and caution
I do like this but if this took you 9 hrs how do you sale the block at a profit.
Great question. I did it because I enjoy the process. When I stopped enjoying it, I discontinued the product. Its a hobby. Bonus points if its a self sustaining hobby.
Nice tabel saw jig. Very smart. U like dewalt planer?
The planer is good bang for the buck for sure.
Wait - what about those burnt areas?
I enjoyed your video...until I saw the USU shirt. Just kidding. Cheers from a Utes alum and fan.
At 7:20 you out the block on some orange pads for sanding. What are these? Great video.
Thanks, they are Bench Cookies that I picked up at Home Depot.
So, you're just going to leave the burn marks?
+Get over that Wall yes. The customer said he loved it as it made his unique like it was a fingerprint and no two were exactly the same. The customer is always right :-)
Great job on the cutting board. Any chance of sharing the identity of the music?
Thanks. It's been a while. It was a royalty free one either from Audio Jungle or AudioBlocks
@@Althoffwoodshop great. Thank you..
Great vid! I actually thought the surface pattern was quite interesting and aesthetically pleasing (for me) on the side you applied the glue! Nonetheless, I'll try this out!
capooooo de capoooooss!! abrazos desde Neuquen patagonia Argentina!!! tambien hago tablas para asado!! no tan lindas como las tuyas...
What router bit did you use for the handles?
Amazon Affiliate Link: amzn.to/3lxcz4S
Do you take orders? I would buy one from you for sure!
Normally yes, but right now all of my tools are in storage as we are in the process of moving. www.althoffwoodshop.com
Nice work!! Good Vid! But you should spend some money in new sharp router bits!
Greetings from Munich, Markus
i think you needed more clamps
No such thing as too many clamps
Beautiful work. But, I usually avoid working with cherry because it always seems to burn.
Dan Stephens those burn marks looked kinda cool in the router plunges... then again I do like the burnt wood effect
very nice board! I hope in the meantime you have new milling cutters for the router, because the burned areas look ugly
Nice Video Great work==BUT the Music had MY interest the who video--WHO is it by ! Name of the tune pleas! Randy
Great video! Quick question, why did you glue those extra pieces of wood shown at 4:46 only to cut them off later. My guess is to help you plane end grain. Am I right? Is that a safe way to do that?
Thank you! Yes, it helps prevent the blowout of the grain when planing. I just use cheap 2x4s I have laying around for it.
What size round over did you use?
I think it was 1/4
Hey,
Can you tell me what is size of the router bit? Not the shank, the head size...how much mm? To make the liquid canal. Tnx
Nice work. What is the type of wood?
Thanks. Maple and Cherry
Do you sell your butcher blocks?
I do on my website althoffwoodshop.com , normally. However, I'm between shops/houses right now and the new one won't be done until April or May 2021.
looks good but im not a big fan of the dip at the ends it would be difficult to transfer food off of it because it would fall into the dip
+adrenaline it's a juice groove that the customer requested. I usually make without, because I agree it would be harder to clean.
Почему дерево горит? Фрезы тупые что-ли??? Не красиво получается. Потеря времени на исправление.
Do you make these for customers?
Yes. Althoffwoodshop.com/shop
Hi. Great video!!! Could you tell me the different types of finishing oil I could use please? I'm in New Zealand so don't seem to have too many choose from. Thanks!
+Brent Lambert Thanks! The conditioner I used in the video is essentially beeswax and mineral oil. I did a write-up and video of how I made my own here: althoffwoodshop.com/wood-butter/
You can change the ratio of beeswax and mineral oil to change the consistency. Hope this helps!
-Reece
I us to do this on a way huger scale. Tabel tops. Wood. Glued and made tons of these on a glue. Machine. Just goes around n around. And then take table tops off. Then all over again. 50 gallo glue a day
Dang.... Now I know why those things are pricier than you might expect. Great craftsmanship.
+Zachary Palmer thank you!
Why do you place two cherry boards together during the first glue-up? I can see it comes out great but can't visually see how the initial layout connects to the end pattern
I couldn't see where you were going with the pattern arranged with the blocks. It looked really good. I really like the thing used for branding. I've never seen branding done like that before.
Burn markings. 👎
Uta ready
Looks great, but what is up with the burn marks? And why did you leave them?
Was waiting to see how you get rid from the ugly burned parts, but that never happened=(
Time to invest in some new carbide tipped router bits. Your getting burns by the dullness of the bits.
Das Video ist gut. Als Tipp würde ich empfehlen die Drehzahl bei der Oberfräse etwas reduzieren, evtl. das Werkzeug nachschleifen lassen und den Abtrag verringern, dann entstehen auch keine "Brandspuren" im Holz!! Bei Hartholz ist die Drehzahl und der Abtrag entscheidend. (Ich habe auch diese Fehler gemacht, (hohe Drehzahl und zu viel Abtrag auf einmal)!!! .... nur ein Tipp!!!!
Q belleza así quiero hacer una pero de una sola pieza q es más resistente
I like the style of the handholds, more practical than the usual ones.
Any chance you could give me the info for your heat stamp for your logo? Beautiful work.
Should be a link in the description to my short blog post on how to do it.
You know you're getting old when you start enjoying woodworking videos.
I'm new to woodworking... and I am getting excited to buy a vacuum with a tornado. #oldlivesmatter
Can you teach us in detail how to get the logo onto your cutting board ?
Sure. althoffwoodshop.com/blog/simple-print-transfer
@@Althoffwoodshop thank you so much! Do you put a protective coating on it so it doesn’t wash off on the cutting board ?
I just did the butcher block conditioner. Haven’t heard of any issues over the years. If there have been any, no one has said anything.
I have made many end grain cutting boards over the years for clients, family, and my own home. A hand electric belt sander will sand the surfaces properly in about 10x the speed on end grain. I only spend about 5 minutes total on a 2 sided board right off the planer to make it perfect with my makita belt sander.
Also, i used to use cauls to clamp all my boards as well, just like Marc Spagnuolo from the wood whisperer showed us all. I found out from Pop's Cabinet Shop that you dont need to do this. Just very slowly increase the pressure on the clamp. Andre from MTMWood does the same. No cauls, just clamp slowly. It is faster in the long run. I havent done a juice catch in a long time because its so hard to get them perfect with no burns without a CNC router. Great job.
One more thing, that exact RO sander you got is the one i use for sanding rounded edges on those boards. You just quickly roll it 90 degrees on the rounded edges with a high grit like 180 to 240. It sands the edges super quick and looks even better than by hand
+Michael McDonald lots of good info, thank you
Nice board! Checker patterns, juice grooves, and end grain are all a challenge. I have found that a variable speed router helps with maple and cherry so you can slow down your router bit. Keep up the good work!
Another music, woodworking video. After 3 minutes you can't stand to watch it. Nice work however. Just don't understand why you would not want to ruin your video with such an annoying song.
I'm not sure why people expend the energy on negative comments. Merry Christmas!
Do you have any trouble with snipe from your planer. It looks like you don't do anything special to avoid snipe. My planer snipes.
+gary lyben nope, that plane is pretty awesome at not having sniping issues, which was surprising since it is one of the cheaper ones.
The machine at 6:12 is making noise in the same key as the song
Enjoyed the video. Any idea how durable the label print is?
Thank you! I haven’t heard of any instances of it washing away or anything.
Like that you don't use those exotic woods I've seen so many times..toxic you know..would never use them in contact with food
Awesome clip. What is the name of the glue roller used in this vid?
Thank you. I think there's a link to Woodcrafts website for it in the description. It's a silicone glue roller
Excellent work!
Thanks for making this video. What are the recommended widths that you cut the wood strips?
I am about to make my first cutting board. I am assuming that the lighter wood is maple. Is the darker wood walnut?
The strips were about 1.5” wide on that board. The lighter wood is maple, the darker one is cherry.
What tool did you use to round the edges of this cutting board? Is that a router?
Nice cutting board. Why not clean up the burn marks from the router?
+WhitehurstCustomWoodworks thanks for watching. Sanding grooves in end grain is not the easiest thing and I gave up sooner than I should have. A few commenters have given me some helpful tips that I plan to use in the future.
What are those red clamps used to hold the glued pieces of wood together called please
Looks great! I can't wait to save enough to get a planer. I know it is not required for this but it does make it easier. I liked the vid, keep them coming.
Why did your router burn the wood? Is that cause the router is bad or was it the wood?
what a fucking anoying song.. i have aids to me ears now thanks allot
What the the overall dimensions of.the finished board?
nice video, would you like to try some food grade cutting board feet? I have big orange ones that reminded me of your bench cookies 6:00
When you use the boards on top to keep things flush during clamping, how do you keep excess glue from coming up from the seams to where that board won't stick to your project?
Great question. Packing tape on the face of the boards prevent glue from sticking.
Wood in butchershops is prohibited in the Netherlands.
WOW That was awesome!!!! I'm looking for a design and I think I found it!!!! We are investing in a CNC and I challenged all four of us (ME, Wife, Son and Daughter) to come up with something they want to fabricate. In addition to telling you how awesome you and your work is (LOL) Just want to say thanks for posting all the specifics for the build. AND WTF were the 465 Haters smoking when they gave you a thumbs down????
They dont like the music and cant find their mute button 😁
Nice work. Love your video production too. Curious how you apply your logo to the board. Do you show how you do that online somewhere?
Thanks Matt! If you have the time, check out my newest cutting board video, I upped my production game a bit 😁. Link in description to a quick tutorial on my site for the branding. Super easy.
Great video, surprised you dont have more subscribers. My video quality isnt half as good.
+207 Made thanks!!
What's the chisel you use for scraping the dry glue? Thanks, great video btw.
It's the "Bent Paring Chisel" from woodcraft. Item number 157919 on www.woodcraft.com
My first visit, now a subscriber. Great video and beautiful result. What was the food safe oil you used? I understand they should be treated every so often but did you use any other type of sealer? Thanks again, I look forward to more of your videos,
+Jeff Forbes thank you! It's Howard's Butcher Block Conditioner (link in description) its a mix of mineral oil and beeswax. A quick wipe down with it monthly should be all it needs.
beautiful thanks for the help I am wanting g to get Into wood working and I'm trying to do butcher block counter tops for my tiny home this will help me alot
