I'm not claiming it's a good idea but it's something I wanted to try and had to give it a go! I ended up doing a lot of voiceover in this video which isn't what I usually do, it just worked out that way! :)
I know you're just joking but for anyone curious about the actual ratio it's closer to 90% (by volume). Hexagonally packed circles cover about 90.69% of an area. The exact formula (assuming no squishing of the wood) to calculate the fraction of circles within a given area is: (π√3)/6 ≈ 0.9096 With the wood being squished together, I'd guess the board is likely closer to 95% wood.
@@ChazAllenUK "And hence less circular?" Yes. They become closer to a hexagon in shape. Perfect hexagons don't leave any gaps. The packing ratio of the bamboo skews is likely better than the ratio for cylinders since they're squished into hexagonal shapes. At 5:20 they look more like hexagons than circles.
Ambitious project. I am a fan of bamboo skewers instead of screws when securing two pieces of wood. I never thought of a end grain cutting board. Excellent video and process. You have done it again Professor. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
I just finished making one of these for myself. Used supermarket-bought skewers, and they were a lot thinner than the ones in the video. Board was also a little bigger. Ended up using 4,500+ full skewers, each cut into 5 pieces, for a total of 22,000+ pieces. Took several weeks to get it all done, but totally worth it. Looks great, very solid. Would recommend that if you do this that you use thick skewers, and more glue than you think. It was a little bit flexible before I put the edging on.
Started watching this and initially thought this guys off his trolly, was sucked in and saw an Amazing result, great job. Totally impressed by his skill and degree of patience.
Really neat project. I always like watching your videos - especially when you show "mistakes"...most of us do our own share and I learn just as much about how you correct yours as I do from watching the parts you did right. I think I'll have to buy one of your t-shirts before I go to Weekend With Wood in Des Moines, Iowa, next May! Thank you for sharing. Mike
Me before watching video: "What an amazing project. I'm definitely going to have to make one myself. I wonder what techniques are involved..." Me after watching video: "Noooooooooooooooooooope."
My husband is a wood worker (in his spare time). He makes furniture and also likes smaller type projects as well. I will show him your video, but I doubt I can get him to make it. However, I think it looks very nice and it is unique. Great job :)
Such patience! I mostly appreciated your willingness to try new approaches .. to experiment .. and not be afraid to fail. Great project. Thanks for posting.
This is cool, could have done without the feet, use a tea-towel or whatever non-aussies call the drying cloth for your dishes and it will give the cutting board a non-slip effect.
Oh man! That is cool! I would have never thought to use skewers like that. I guess it is just a cutting board kind of week. I put a cutting board video up on my channel this week, and so did April Wilkerson. ha
I am watching this again, and hindsight is really king. I think I've come up with the method I would try. Take a large enough bundle, pour glue on them, pick them up again in upright position (easy when they're full side or at least longer), place bottom down on the the big form, clamp, cut the parts above the form's height with the hand saw (they still should be long enough that orienting them upright should still be easy), remove the clamp temporarily, put the cut off part back in front of the pieces you already got in there, repeat until you need more skewers/are done. Not sure if I am making sense here, but I think you get a picture what I am trying to describe.
@@Hellsong89 I would almost concur with you. My dissent is that there are 2 part epoxies out there that are totally 100% inert once cured. There some epoxies that aren't food safe, even after cure.
Amazing Neil! I was looking forward to see this one! Congratulations on the idea and patience... I think I would enjoy doing some work like that too. Abraços meu amigo!!!
cool Idea, but I would usually not recommend plaining endgrain (as you've seen, stuff can easily break of and also it dulls your blade quiet badly). I use a beltsander for my endgrain board...and then finishing with an orbital sander: works fine and fairly quickly and more importantly: the orbital sander on endgrain at the end gives it the smoothest finish you will ever feel on wood ;)
You would never know what you’re going to get if you don’t even try ...good for you for doing so...it looks amazing I truly love it 🥰 the colours looked beautiful...it was worth the effort...congratulations
Don't be too hard on yourself because you are making mistakes!! My Daddy always said that the last perfect person on Earth got nailed to a cross!! Love your videos and always look forward to a new one!!
This would be perfect for cheese and fruit. I'm not sure I would use it for cutting anything up. But it's a beauty. I love how bamboo has that cool pattern. Thanks for making it.
You have amazing patience! I couldn't even make it 1/3 way through the vid! I hope the board gives a lifetime of service to offset your time and glue! Power to your work, Sir!
"I think I could definitly do a better job if I were to do it again, but I'm really not sure I ever would, but you never know, maybe". Oh, if I had a dime for every time I said that.
You come up with some great ideas, and that's one of them. It's an attractive board and, I imagine, it would make a very good, tough cutting board. GREAT!
Hey friend. In the future when treating with mineral oil on an end grain board, you’ll find that if you soak it, coat by coat, from one side only with oil... eventually you will see the oil start to wick through to the other side. You can literally soak the entire board through and through which ensures that it is completely treated. This is important because it allows you to soak your board in the sink when you’re washing it, and even run it through the dishwasher (on low heat). And of course, ensures proper microbial protection from bacteria and fungi.
I'll give you kudos for your dedication and "stick to it" determination. I would have chunked that project in the trash can after running into a few setbacks that you just brushed off like sawdust. Great job. You definitely earned that!
Lovely idea and production ! I don't have feet on my boards, because I like to use both sides of the board. I have finger grooves down the short edges. Keep making stuff ! Stu
I really enjoyed this a lot. I’m happy you showed the flaws and how you altered the plan/idea as problems arose. This seemed very therapeutic and I could see how an occupational therapist could implement this in their treatment plans. All in all well done and thanks for posting it.
Beautiful, instant sub right there. Great attention to detail, thats what i like to see. You saw even after a few days of work gluing it wasn't to the level of finish you were after, so you scrapped the idea and did something else entirely to get the best outcome/outcome you desired. Mark of a great creator! Top Job.
I can recommend the small translucent rubberlike dots that you use on doors and drawers to give them a slightly less noisy closing, as "feet" for cutting boards, sticks good to kitchen benches and is supercheap and easy to replace should it be necessary :)
LMMFBO dude you gotta have the patience of a Buddhist monk. I would have jumped head first into my wood chipper after 5 minutes of that. Great job, I love all types of wood working and now skews are on my list of future headaches. Thanks for the video and keep up the wood.
What a cool end result! It reminds me of a cutting board that looks like a corkboard! I wouldn't have rounded off the edges so much, and I wouldn't have screwed in feet (as a serious cook, my dad made me a typical butcher pattern endgrain block, and he left it very square with barely broken edges and without feet since I would stand the board on its side in a rack to dry, he also routered in about a quarter inch deep finger slot on either side. No feet kind of doubles the lifespan of the board, it lets you flip it as you need. Still, I bet that thing is fun to cut on. Bamboo isn't quite as fast as hardwood, but it is 100% sustainable and still very good.
Hehe, nice one... You can use a little blob of hot glue for the legs. When it hardens, drill small hole and screw a 2-3mm screw. Or the one you have, just that it is smaller than the blob and the head can sink in. I use it on smaller boards without the screw, regardless of the boards been oiled with mineral oil. It holds enough. On big ones, i make bit biger blob of glue, screw it and dab a bit over the screw head hole.
I like the "buzzing" sound of the vehicles passing by when you play back above normal speed. Sounds almost like a race track in front of your place. And the cutting board, way too cool for school. The guillotine you used to cut the miters on the trim, when I was quite a bit younger, I worked at a picture framing shop where we used the same type machine to cut corners for picture frames. While cutting a very small frame, the right blade found my index finger and cut from the first knuckle into the nail about half way. I still have the scar to this day...
I was honestly just thinking about doing this with small dowels. You just helped me think about some of the challenges I am going to face. I was planning to use several different sizes of dowels and wasn't sure how I was going to fill the gaps. Well looks like I will be using these bamboo skewers for my filler. I also thought of cutting some triangular strips to fill gaps also. Perhaps I will do both.
Thank you sir! I've been looking at some interesting, irregular larger pieces I have, and wondering how I could put them together, without having to cut them up, to the point of making them boring! You've given me a good option to fill in the space in between! They also sell, very small dowels at the dollar store. So I could use wood similar to my other pieces!
Oh my!! Such patience - enjoyed learning with you as you discovered better ways of making it. It’s incredible, looks like something between cork and honeycomb. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing - new subscriber here! 👌🤗🌲🦊🌲
there were a couple of times I thought you wood (lol) would toss it. But you persevered and finished. I have to say that I did not think it would turn out but you did and it looks fine.
I would dye the individual ones in 6 different colours and give every colour a number and than throw a dice to place the colours randomly. And I would make coasters or a tray, not a cutting board... sounds like a lot (A LOT) of time...
Excellent WOW WOW therr are so many clever folk out there Oh what a great idea I love it Thank you for the share of your wonderful idea Hugs from Milton Keynes UK
Another amazing video and the chopping board looks quite original. I'm a huge fan of bamboo skewers and their multiple applications. Stir sticks are another great option. I have made a decent smartphone case out of them but instead of wood glue, I've used cyanoacrylate. Great project, simple and entertaining. Thank you for posting.
Fantastic job, you have the patience of 100 men Ha Ha. Similar to those that make the segmented vases with 30,000 pieces 😭😭😭. Came together very well. 👍. Cheers, Sean
😊 Wow! Good vid, good idea! Love the fact you brought to bare that you can make "really" strong cutting board out anything your imagination can come up with! 👍 Thank you!
Such an great project. I'd be interested to hear down the track sometime if all of that glue in the voids between the skewers moves around a lot creating an uneven rough surface. It's easily sanded back of course, but I have had issues with raised glue lines between boards on dining tables when using Titebond II or III. 👍👍👍
Hey, great challenge. If you idn't use it for a chopping board it would look nice on a small easel with an initial on it. The honeycomb pattern is fantastic. Great job mess and all, thanks for sharing! :)

You have some patients cobber
When I was a kid I had a teacher who used to say "Beware the fury of a patient man".
He must have had you in mind. :-)
Nice one.
My gramma used to say to 'never p*ss off a woman who does needlepoint...she's proven that she has the patience to stab something a few thousand times'
4:18 Anyone else noticing an optic illusion? It looked like the corner pointed away from the screen and the angles of the bamboo were all messy.
I see what you mean 😏 idk about you but switching between optical illusions and how true angles perceived, makes my brain smile
The board is 2/3 skewers, 1/3 glue 😆
I know you're just joking but for anyone curious about the actual ratio it's closer to 90% (by volume).
Hexagonally packed circles cover about 90.69% of an area. The exact formula (assuming no squishing of the wood) to calculate the fraction of circles within a given area is:
(π√3)/6 ≈ 0.9096
With the wood being squished together, I'd guess the board is likely closer to 95% wood.
@@ddegn oh wow

Yes. They become closer to a hexagon in shape. Perfect hexagons don't leave any gaps.
The packing ratio of the bamboo skews is likely better than the ratio for cylinders since they're squished into hexagonal shapes.

I wondered where this project had got too. Turned out amazing in the end, that last shot of the end grain looks so cool

I do like your use of Silky Oak in the border frame. It lends a pleasing dark constant and enhances the appearance of finished piece.

Fantastic, you need to have it standing next to a bamboo-skewer knife block - so now you need to make.....
those things are filthy tho. Germ collectors and impossible to clean
so beautiful. love seeing you clamp down on the rows and see the glue escape. im also fond of the squeaky sped up noises
This is cool, could have done without the feet, use a tea-towel or whatever non-aussies call the drying cloth for your dishes and it will give the cutting board a non-slip effect.

Really cool, man. Great problem solving, too. And great editing. You got talent.
Thanks very much Mariano! :)
Idk if this is great problem solving though, you just dont make a cutting board for food with wood glue...
Lea Schmitt Whatever, man.
I am watching this again, and hindsight is really king. I think I've come up with the method I would try.

Not sure if I am making sense here, but I think you get a picture what I am trying to describe.
I am just curious, if that much glue is good idea for chopping board, might contaminate the food
With the oil coating on top and the glue fully hardened it shouldn't really make a difference at all, plus you can always use non-toxic glue
I would be far more worried about people using epoxy in their chopping boards than PVA glue...
He indicated titebond 3 so should be fine
@@Hellsong89 I would almost concur with you. My dissent is that there are 2 part epoxies out there that are totally 100% inert once cured. There some epoxies that aren't food safe, even after cure.
Titebond 3 is FDA approved as food safe

No feet kind of doubles the lifespan of the board, it lets you flip it as you need.
Still, I bet that thing is fun to cut on. Bamboo isn't quite as fast as hardwood, but it is 100% sustainable and still very good.
Hehe, nice one... You can use a little blob of hot glue for the legs. When it hardens, drill small hole and screw a 2-3mm screw.

I would dye the individual ones in 6 different colours and give every colour a number and than throw a dice to place the colours randomly. And I would make coasters or a tray, not a cutting board... sounds like a lot (A LOT) of time...
A+ for patience and perseverance :) And at the end it was a pretty nice project.
That my friend is a very unique cutting board. 2 my Knowledge no one else has one unless they copied yours. Great job.
Great Project, now I know what to do with all of the skewers I have in my cupboards!

Very impressed by the mitre guillotine, I've not seen one of those before.
You are very patient! And the result is original and fantastic! You're very creative.

Hey, great challenge. If you idn't use it for a chopping board it would look nice on a small easel with an initial on it. The honeycomb pattern is fantastic. Great job mess and all, thanks for sharing! :)
