Solid Cutting Board With Juice Groove and Juice Well
This is an easy, simple cutting board with two features that any beginner or DIYer can make! Minimal tools are needed for this build. It started as a commission project for my best friend. Shortly after, I added cutting boards to my Etsy shop. Then, my fiancé wanted one, and I decided it would make an interesting video. Thanks for watching!

First Raised Garden Bed I Ever Built! Turned Out Better Than I Expected
Просмотров 206 месяцев назад
The end result of the first raised garden bed I've ever built. It is made out of cedar material and hooked together with exterior deck screws. This thing is super sturdy. My fiancé and I planted all sorts of vegetables and some herbs in it. I can't wait to see how they turn out! Let me know what you think about it!

    You could groove the sides and ends to take the bottom panel ( like bottom panels are fitted in drawers). It would give a more professional look. Also, consider fitting splines in the miters for extra strength and to add interest to the look. I think I might make one of these.... Thanks for sharing

    Regarding mitre glue-up. I use tape. Place the parts end-to-end, long sides (outer mitre) uppermost, flat on the bench. Stretch tape across each join and then 'roll' it up, securing the final join with more tape. Works really well.

    • @mikeconroy2651
      @mikeconroy2651 2 месяца назад

      True, and if it were for me, I'd probably do it that way, but you have to be more precise on cutting the bottom panel. I made something similar in design to these and used a round over bit on my router table to make that bottom edge almost invisible. I've done similar accents using a bevel bit and made the bevel start where the ply meets the wood. Again, it kind of makes the joint disappear and makes the piece look like it's floating on the table or floor. For items that you intend to crank out quickly for production purposes, bevels and round overs are extremely useful ways to up the look of the piece without increasing assembly complexity. And once the bit is in the router and set up, nothing is stopping you from doing the other edges too for an even greater number of visual effects! So, the same piece could have 3 versions. Plain, rounded or beveled.

      ​@@lepchaung2446a good trick on Etsy is to list a small version at a low price and offer different sizes. They'll click because it's cheap and realize they want the bigger, more expensive one when they actually purchase something. It's a good way for new sellers to get their products seen by coming up in the search listing with a low price item.
