Nicely done video! The camera work, lighting, sound & voiceover were all excellent. I particularly appreciate you explaining the measurements in the beginning & following steps - SO many other people's videos fail to do that. Great video!!
Thanks so much for the support. I have listened to the comments over the years and tried to include the information that people as about in order to be as helpful as possible to those wanting to make these items. 😊
I have to say, of all the videos I have watched on making cutting boards, this is the easiest one to follow and make. Very detailed without being complicated, well done. BTW, my board came out beautiful as well. Thank You.
Very nice, informative video. Using your crosscut sled on a table saw is a great way to cut all pieces to a consistent size. While I don't have a crosscut sled (My table saw is a smaller one), I DO have a radial arm saw. What I like to do is make a stopper jig and then do the cuts. This method works great.
for the wood to move less when your doing the final glue up what i do is sprinkle salt on the glue of each planks that way when your doing the glue up the wood grips together and doesn’t move love your videos thanks for helping me with your woodworking tips
When you plane down the board after the second glue up, doesn't that alter the ratio you need regarding thickness (3/4") vs width (1 1/2") of the boards for the final glue up? I realize that a person will try to plane off as little as possible, but still some of the boards end up to be a little thinner and some will be a little shorter. It probably doesn't make any difference at that stage of the process. Great video! I will be building this board in the near future!
I didn't plane the boards after the second glue-up. I planed the individual strips prior to the second glue-up but not after. I hope this helps. Good luck on your board!
I love these video cause through the first 90% of the video your like... meh kewl procedure fun to watch... then you give it the oil and your like WOOOOOOOW!!! POP..
The CNC really helps up your game! I like the attention to detail. Almost to 1000 subs! You should be there by tonight or tomorrow. Great job 👏. I’m right behind you. Hopefully this week 👍
Don't shift the strips....rotate every other strip instead, you will end up with the same pattern and way less waste, and you will end up with a bigger board.
Did you not have to run your board after second glue up through the planer? Just wondering how you cleaned up the glue squeeze out for the third glue up.
I actually did run it through a third time. I often leave out small steps like that to keep the video flowing and not have things drag on too long. Great observation.
After the first glue up, you can cut the long pieces in half, getting 2 sets. Arrange the first set, for example, walnut down, next piece walnut upright and so on; the next set do the opposite. Just my opinion
A very enjoying video to watch. I really love your video format and your presentation style. By the way, as a fellow Mechanical Engineer, too, the comments concerning the dropped board and how the failure occurred, has always interested me. Great video! Thanks for posting.
Thanks so much. I have been working on my editing + organization of my videos to keep them interesting and not drag on too long. I still have a lot to learn, but hopefully things are moving in the right direction.
you should pre-offset the glue ups so that half the boards have vertical strips on one end and the other half have horizontal stripes. this will negate the need to waste so much of the wood!
Beautiful board and great video. Just wondering what the advantage is to ripping all the pieces on your table saw from the rough lumber first, and then edge jointing and planing all the individual pieces, rather than simply jointing and planing the initial slabs of walnut and maple and then ripping them on the table saw? Seems to me it would be easier to mill two pieces of lumber rather than 16. I don't have a jointer but have the same planer as you so I use a combination jointing/planing sled that I can run through my table saw and planer to mill my lumber so milling two pieces rather than 16 would be much more efficient for me. Am I missing something here??
Hey Clif, I think what you're describing is a possible alternative, and certainly one worth exploring. One thing to consider with that approach would be the quality of the glue up if your boards were ~11 wide. You would need to get clamps on both edges of the board to get good pressure for a glue up that wide, and even then I would have concerns about sufficient pressure in the middle. Without ample pressure across the entire board you could end up with gaps/separation in the glue-up that would show up in the final end grain board. Maybe a series of cauls could help add some additional pressure in the middle. You've got me thinking about this Clif. If you end up trying this method please let me know how it turns out. Have a good one!
@@EigenDesigns Not sure what you mean by this very wide glue up ... after the initial milling I would rip the two boards on the table saw into the same 16 pieces that you end up with before the first glue up. After that I would follow your plan exactly using my work around for jointing and planing.
@@84tiger I see what you mean now. I think your approach would work just fine. I thought you were talking about making one solid laminated glue up and then ripping that into the 2-3/4" pieces.
@@EigenDesigns The one issue I didn't consider would be the capacity/width of the boards that your jointer can handle. If the rough lumber is too wide for the jointer then it would be necessary to rip the material on the table saw first. I would love to have a jointer one day but I guess one advantage to my method of milling is the only limit I have is the width of material my planer can handle.
so in reality, you loose about 3 inches in width due to going higher and lower with the pieces to make the design correct? if so, what can be done to calculate ahead of time how much material or width is required to end with a pre determined width? like for example, if i want to end with the board being 12 inches in width, how do i pre calculate the material to end up with that dimension at the end?
Very nice work, is that a crack at 11:35? On the right of the handle? Just wondering if it's the end grain that split or something.. maybe just an illusion. Regardless, awesome work
I absolutely love it. It has been a complete game changer for me. I use it to help extend my capabilities in the shop - its like having an unpaid intern in your shop. I know you will love it!
This board is beautiful. Did you start with 8/4? I don’t have a lot of 8/4 stuff but was just wondering if I could still do this with 4/4 bc I have a ton of that. Lol
Hey Lee! I started out with 8/4, but you could replicate a similar pattern using 4/4 wood. Just make sure that the width of each board is exactly half of the height and you should be good to go. Your "stair" pattern will look a little narrower, but it should work.
Forget the Mirka sanding disks, instead use the new 3M Xtract Cubitron II Net Disc 710W. Lasts twice as long at half the price. Take a look at the Katz-Moses youtube video on them and you'll be thanking me later... Cheers and trying to figure out how to fit in a jointer into my already crowded shop.
It’s incredible! It’s really nice being able to use it for utility jobs, like flattening and cutting juice grooves, as well as personalization items like monograms, logos, and slogans.
@@EigenDesigns I love the versatility of cnc’s. I have a MillRightCNC but I’m in love with the 1f. It’s been a game changer. I need October to come around faster. lol. Great video!!

Great tip Marc - I will try that on my next glueup that needs a perfect alignment.

That came out amazing, great job!
I think it's great that you're incorporating the CNC into otherwise every day projects.
The CNC is like having an unpaid intern in your shop. It's really help boost my productivity.
LOVE IT!!
Thanks bro
What is the length and width of each side separately by cm please???
Don't shift the strips....rotate every other strip instead, you will end up with the same pattern and way less waste, and you will end up with a bigger board.
That's such a good idea. That would save at least 15% of the material I had to cut off of the board. Thanks for the tip, David!
I love it 😳 hi from Jamaica State USA 👋

Very nice! Did you say the strips were 24” long by 1 1/4 ( later 1”) wide by 2” high? Going to try this!
Yes. As long as your dimensions of the legnth are twice the height (e.g. 2" x 1"or 1.5" by 0.75") the pattern will work.
you should pre-offset the glue ups so that half the boards have vertical strips on one end and the other half have horizontal stripes. this will negate the need to waste so much of the wood!
Great board. FYI. Try the new 3M Net Abrasives. They are far more superior and longer lasting I have found.
You are the third person to tell me that. I have just ordered them and will be giving them a shot. Thanks for the tip!
No worries. I have some samples a rep sent me in 80 180 and 320 if you want I’d be happy to send you a few
