    Quick tip…lightly wet the board before you brand it. It will stop that board from splitting like it did.

    That branding and hand written burn on the back was the chefs kiss, definitely elevated it to another level and gives an additional talking point about the board for the new owner!

    The expectation/hope of being paid $100 an hour for this level of effort is a little out of touch... even at $200 USD, the board is quite expensive for what it is as large end grain cutting boards can be bought for a similar price.
    Don't get me wrong, the board turned out looking nice, but I do think expectations should be tempered when selling something so ubiquitous.
    Anyways, thanks for the video and merry Christmas to you.

What are your thoughts about repurposing finished hardwood furniture and running it through a planer or table saw? Just wondering if you have any health concerns? I haven’t done a charcuterie or cutting board but this has been my thought for a while, why not use old furniture and remove the finish and use it for a build… Curious on your thoughts!?

    Ive got these slats from an old ikea bedframe, replaced it some time back because what self respecting woodworker buys / has Ikea furniture 😅.
    That being said the slats that held the mattess are actually great looking ply pieces! Slightly warped, but all to the exact same bend, whick works for a unique look for my intended coffee table.
    Im turning them up on their side, and using flourecent acrylic strips between each slat. Not sure which color yet, but work in an acrylic fabrication shop, so no problem securing parts 😁

    Nice work, but $270 for a flat, mostly featureless board comprised of wood processed and glued simply is a bit ridiculous, regardless of time spent.
    It is a charcuterie board sold for $270, not a "$270 charcuterie board".

    I thought you have to have one face of the project already flat in order for a planer to flatten out the other surface. Is the planing here just to clean up the wood and the project does not necessarily have a flat top? I'm still learning so just wondering, thanks.

    • @andrewoatman6745
      @andrewoatman6745 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Flattening one side before planing allows you to get the two surfaces parallel to each other, which isnt strictly necessary for a board like this. But the planer will make each surface flat no matter what, unless you take too deep of plane passes. You should read some old popular woodworking articles about stock prep.

    • @andreafeelsfantastic
      @andreafeelsfantastic ปีที่แล้ว

      Because he is reusing wood from furniture it was probably flat already. My makerspace does not let us use reclaimed wood in the planer and jointer though because of the risk of hardware hidden within it damaging the blades. They are very expensive to replace!
