Ayeeee thanks for the shoutout! The amount of money available for cutting boards is truly mind-blowing.
A few of our best strategies:
- Find a niche, optimize your boards for that type of customer, and sell sell sell!
- Talk to everyone you know about what you sell! You never know when someone’s cousin’s aunt’s brother is the State’s #2 producing Realtor looking for nicer closing gifts…
I´ve watched some of your videos in past and always amazed how markets can be so diferent. I live in EU, Portugal to be more precise and the cutting board market here is so "poor". Nobody would pay like 50€ for a cutting board, so its not worth to make them. the only market we have here on this categorie is restaurants cheap pine boards, and thats it ahah
Keep the good work!
@@yohannsantos4901 That could be the difference between end users and business customers. The business customers aren't buying a bread/cutting board, they're buying a marketing tool and some good will. They probably wouldn't spend that much on themselves either :)
Jennie and Davis I love your videos and watch them all the time. Question, are you in the Reserves or Guard? I retired after 22 yrs in the Air Force and just wanted to say thank you for your service as well!
I'm just stepping out of my comfort zone (ie safe job / empty wallet zone) and starting my own cutting board business. Took huge amounts of encouragement to get past my fear of doing something different than what I've done my whole life, but I think it is time to do that for which I am destined. Keeping the old job for now while I ramp up.
I literally just watched your cutting board video right before i watched this one.
I’d have to call this a classic “Make Something“ RUclips video. 100% David Picciuto including Sand In the Place Where You Live. Thanks for sharing your talent 🎉
😁
The only talent this guy has is woodworking, entertaining, designing and being an all round cool guy apart from that he's talentless 🤣

Anyone that can actually make cutting boards and make real money I applaud. Finding something that makes your boards unique or different from the heard is key and the right market.
That said, many people 'think' they are making money just because they sold it for more than the cost of materials and a bottle of glue. And as a hobby that's great for some extra money for your own projects. But as an actual business you need to take into account overhead, consumables, wear items on tools, an hourly wage for yourself, and a margin for the business...then you'll 'actually' be making money.
People would be surprised how much glue is required for an end-grain butcher block. Same thing for the amount of oil unseasoned end-grain soaks. Lot's of cutting means lots of waste too.
Cutting boards are extremely saturated. The best way to maximize profits are to sell on your website with a brand name. So many people are driving the prices down hard because they either 1 get free materials (mills) or 2 sell large batches of basic boards, so the customer assumes they know the price and set their own in their mind about what you should sell your boards for. So many customers have a complete disrespect for woodworkers and their pricing because of this, it’s insane. Like you said, only way to stand out is come up with new designs. Same with flags, basic ones have been driven into the ground that used to sell for a lot, now you have to sink way more time into it than it’s actually worth. Two very saturated markets
Great to see the 🎵 sand in the place where you live 🎵 back again! I enjoyed.
I'd already sung "Sand in the place where you live" before I heard it in the video & was about to terribly disappointed you didn't edit it in. Thanks for the lack of disappointment!
I would have thought to glue the dowels at least into the ends, if not the body, so they would stay put, but still allow the body boards to move. So I learned something here! I think it's awesome that you encourage people to take your designs and run with them. We gotta help eachother out. Thanks for sharing!
One thing you can do too is tap them in 90% of the way and put a dab a glue around the top before sending it home. That way you have it glued and know it won’t get into the middle tenon. Probably not necessary but it does work
Hi David, I received your Cutting Board Book for Christmas and refer to it regularly for ideas and tips ... thank you for creating it. I wasn't nuts about the breadboard style at first, but now, being able to see it happen, I'm in love. So thanks for helping this rookie out. I intend to create cutting boards to bolster my retirement in a couple of years, and totally value your insight. Awesome, just awesome!
Oh wow, thank you Sue!
Holy crap, how have I never thought about using the miter gauge backward like that?!?! Genius!
GREAT video David, the take away is that things don't always go as planned and the key is to keep the project on track and look what turned out. Personally, I like the larger dowels, so a win for me! !! !!!
Just looked up kencraft and it’s not too far from me! If I run into you there sometime, first beer is on me if you’ve got the time.
Hello David, fellow Ohioan beginner woodworker here (Medina oh). I just discovered your channel after starting listening to the Making It podcast (from the first one of course), I am now on #039, so roughly 300+ to go. I love your style, projects, explanations. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
i saw your book at woodcraft here in houston and i was like " oh i have to get this like right now". lots of awesome ideas in your book.
Thank you!!
A great job, it was great, very well done, a huge hug from my humble Uruguayan channel💪👍🇺🇾
that was probably the best in video promo I've seen a youtuber execute so far. Love how you just talked it whilst continuing to make the board. Well played.
So glad to see Sand in the Place where you Live come back. Made me smile.
Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful
“Sand in the place where you live” made my heart happy!
I do cutting boards and sell at local farmer's markets. I've reached a point where I'm making money even after spending it on non-woodworking things I wanted. The best thing is I don't have to do it every weekend, just when I feel like it.
that is the best! No pressure and just when you feel like it!
Hello David. My bf had this video on hold for me to watch and I was shocked to see the building I realize “Kencraft”. Me and my bf r from Toledo area. I was at Kencraft couple weeks ago I was very pleased with the price of the wood. Next time, I stopped in there I hope to see u. Great video.
Awesome! Kencraft is good people!
I saw your book at Lee Valley in Canada today! thought that was pretty cool
Going with the flow is the only way to go. Projects always have hiccups, changes, etc
This is a damn nice cutting board
Your delivery is the best: Informative, easy to listen to and nice production values.
Thank you!
I did an audible cheer at the return of the "sand in the place where you live" full line! Makes me wonder what sliding dovetails would look like on the ends, but I'm probably far from the first person to think that.
now I want to do a sliding dovetail one!
That’s the hardwood dealer I shop at for my hardwoods!!!! They are awesome and reasonable. Enjoy the cutting board videos
This is my favourite channel. I especially like it when you explain everything so nicely. I wish you a lot of success with the channel and happy life.
Board looks great. Thanks for writing the book. I used it for inspiration for my first board.
That is a beautiful cutting board! I've seen some fancy boards but this one is a classic example of the "less is more" design.
Yass! I was waiting for it and you nailed the timing on SAND! 10/10 would sand again!
Solid demo, really appreciate the tip about wood movement, something I am aware of but don’t really understand. Also brah, really appreciate the positive message to encourage people to start something new, I’ve always wanted to give exhibiting and selling at craft fairs a shot, but never have tried. Cheers. 🤜⚡️🤛
Just ordered your book. I know a lot about making them but I will flip through it . Maybe I will learn something I did not know. Love all the hard work you do . Your worth supporting 👍
Thank you John! Greatly appreciate that. 🙏♥️
Just ordered the board book and the kitchen one. Can’t wait
oh thank you!!!!
Great one sir! Now, the question is, will you be giving this board to your mom and have her store it with the endgrain one you gave her? Most top tier (mostly endgrain) boards I’ve made, tends to be used as show pieces for food serving instead of being used as the work horse cutting board they should be used for. Everyone that gets one says it’s too nice to cut on haha! 👍👍
Thanks David, I think I’ll make one or two of these for Mother’s Day!
I love your band saw !! I can't see the brand but I love the design !! It has the extra relief you need for tight spots!!
I made some pretty good cash doing custom orders on edge grain cutting boards. I don’t even have a table saw but I was able to do it all with my bandsaw and plainer.
That’s one sexy cutting board.
And I like how you compensate when you pitch a curve to yourself.
I soo love this cutting board.. I want to make some but just have not got to doing them yet... this gives me ideas and possibly the urge to make some sooner than later..
Grwat video man!! Thanks very
Much for the tutorial. 😀👍
I will be getting your cutting board book for Christmas
Love this take on a cutting board style.
i bought your book and built some cutting boards:-)
one i gave to my mother and she never needed it until now:-)lol
Really beautiful work, Dave! 😃
Brilliant the way you did it! I've never seen a cutting board like that!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
ive never seen cutting boards with tenons and dowels, and i love it. also, im never gonna hear that REM song the same lol.
David, great video! I have been a longtime follower of your channel, way back from the Drunken Woodworker days, and I have always enjoyed your videos. Beautiful cutting board by the way. I love the breadboard ends. As a furniture maker, I can say you are spot on with your breadboard design and construction concepts concerning wood movement. I always look forward to your next video, David.
🙏 thank you!
Ordering 3 books right now.
I like this. I’d like to use a mortising bit to cut a square then toss in square dowels. Just to use square dowels and skip a step.
I like that Idea!
Good stuff man! Also, the moving camera shots were on-point. I know you guys put a lot of work into the vids and I wanted to let you know the small things are definitely noticed!
Hey, im in Toledo and starting woodworking. Never heard of kencraft, ill check them out
I feel like since your stock came out a little thicker, the larger dowels match better. That chamfer on the ends is doing the work of a Dutch bevel, and the whole thing looks like a wonderful tiny table.
Confession: I think I like the larger dowels
Love your stuff man, your videos just put me in a good mood!
Thank you!
I absolutely love your books and work brother! I’m just missing one book….the kitchen one. As soon as I can make some money, I’ll buy it….promise!
Thank you Bryan!
Pinched finger tips under a heavy board can be pretty painful. I dropped a board a few inches onto the end of my finger tips once (before board was finished)... brought tears to my eyes. I usually route a finger pocket on the bottom at both ends but finishing them is extra time. The chamfered edge is an interesting alternative.
Awesome, great board, great song, and a new logo I see. I dig it, or I make it, lol
Awesome project! I don’t see in your video how wide you made the breadboard ends. Looks to be about 3 inches possibly?
amazing design and i just ordered your books
Thank you!!
Classic Picciuto... PS: I still love your mural wall. PPS: Nice thumbnail!
Great video. Thanks for the tips and encouragement.
Awesome vid as always. I own 2/3 of those books. Must own 3/3 lol. Out of curiosity what do you use for your video recording equipment? Specifically your camera and microphone? You always produce such high quality and engaging videos. I know most of it is just talent and experience but I'm looking to start making some guitar building, modifying, repairing and setup videos and need a camera and mic setup better than my iPhone but without being several thousand dollars to start lol
Very nicely done, Thank you for sharing your video.
Every time I sand now… R.E.M… in my head.
Picciuto: master of the segue
Thanks for the video David! I have been thinking about bread board ends as another stylized, point of differentiation. This let me know I wasn't crazy haha. I will definitely be adding something like this to my lineup
I've done the breadboard style once. I didn't do the dowels though... no issues.
First timer! Lol. Thanks for the content.
Awesome video! I really need to make some cutting boards!
Excellent project and video!!
“Cool focus bro” 🤣
I've made lots of cutting boards and butcher blocks over the past couple years. I just give them away to friends/family. Lots of people tell me I could sell them to make some money. I don't think people realize how much the materials cost, and the time that goes into them, especially for the end-grain. Heck, they probably have no idea how much oil an unseasoned end grain butcher block soaks up. I doubt people would pay what I would have to charge to make it worthwhile as business. I know there are economies of scale making several at once, and the idea is somewhat intriguing, but so far I've discarded it as an idea to make some money.
Looks beefy and fantastic. Nice job
Beeftastic!
Amazing video
My wife also has a cutting board I made for her 8 years ago…still sitting in the pantry. 😑 lol
Great video and great book.
Pumping out great content! Awesome.
Do you have a brood of minions keeping that area behind you so tidy while filming?
lol
Just one minion!
Do you not raise the grain of the wood before finishing because of the type of wood you used?
When I worked retail, my boss taught me something about making display piles: never let it be a perfect stack. You always make a nice stack of boxes, squares up and everything…then you take one out of the corner and put it on top. People don’t like breaking that perfect cube of a stack
I bet your mom wouldn’t break the cube (that sounds like an insult but isn’t meant to be)
Why stop there? Wooden veggie knives, wooden tongs, wooden spoons salad forks wooden bowls. Don't need a lathe just an Angle grinder. All in matching woods? Great video BTW
When I started up several years back, you were one of my prime sources for ideas. One of my best-selling products has been the wine caddy. I actually do more sales on smaller pieces like that at shows, and while the cutting boards are the big draw, I am definitely trying to bring the people in for some of the bigger ticket items.
I just picked up a cnc so that I can also do custom engravings, plus batching out cribbage, tic tac toe, and other small products.
Do I need your books now? No, but I am giving back to you for giving so much to all of us.
Bob, All American Woodworking. (I do not do "content", as I have a face for radio and a voice for the silent movies)
Oh man, thank you!
I made this board from your book for my folks for Christmas. They refuse to use it. It’s a show piece apparently
Ha! That happens!
I see those feet are from the orange box store. Are those stainless screws. I always swap them out cause I don't see it say stainless
Curious why/when you stopped using the dust cover brush with the blade guard on the table saw? Was the dust collection not effective or is it more about making the cut visible on camera?
awesome board. Quick question. How much would you charge for that board?
This was a great video, but the tip about putting the mitre guge in from behind blew my mind.
Very nice thanks for sharing. How much do you sell them for? If you don’t mind
One tip: a round file/rasp works way better than using the edges of drill bits.
Good tip! Next time for sure!
When I gave my mom her first cutting board from my woodworking, I caught her using it with a plastic cutting board on top of it cause it was “too pretty to mark up”. I LOL’d pretty hard and then convinced her to just use the thing!
hahaha! That's great!
5:44. Why don’t you get a dowel making jig and make your own dowels? You could have used the maple dowels in that walnut end.
Another great video! I do love making cutting boards and they have been good sellers so far. I do disagree with you David. Thickness Matters 👀😜😳👀
😮 thanks Sandy!
I’ve made my mom three cutting boards and I’m in the same boat as you - she’s never used any of them. They’re just decoration. How do we get our moms to use the things we make them for their intended purpose?
As one of 'those' moms, I encourage you and others who share your plight to consider the fact that we are proud of it enough to keep it pristine and elevate it to treasure status. It also marks a point in time that we want to remember. We may want it to be beautiful when others see it or we 'pass it down' in the family. You can rest assured that we appreciate and love your skill, effort, and thoughtfulness. 😉
On the other side of the coin, after hearing your frustration, perhaps I am missing the signs of joy left in the evidence of its use. Thanks for nudging me to reconsider. 🤔
Makers feel a sense of pride when people use the things we make.
I agree with David, rough it up, make it look worn. Tell them it's one that didn't quite work out, but they can use it if they want. Watch it become their favorite. 😄
I recently made my first end grain cutting board, but it wobbles. Can’t seem to figure out howto fix this, sanding doesn’t seem to affect it. Maybe with some feet that allow me to install then a bit off?
Thats super awesome! I have a question? Can you make those joints on a router table? Thanks
I haven’t done it myself but yes!
Dang, I haven't been here in a minute. The lack of beard was a shock!
I made you a playlist of cutting board videos. ruclips.net/p/PLhqK_8dnaIW0V_zXWBL7WVqiV1cUQbeQI

David love your videos and instructions. Great looking cutting board, thank you. Scott
Thanks Scott!
What brand clamps are those?
Where do I buy the book?
damn dude your like a damn genius
What would you think about the pros/cons of making the end pieces thicker than the middle section. Effectively raising the middle off the work top.
Yay? Nay?
I like the way you think! Could be a cool design choice.
Thinking a cove cut where the pieces meet would be advantages. Easier to wipe clean with no corners. IMHO
Great video! Is there any way to get your book in digital format? 💪🏻
Thank you. Unfortunately not at this time.
@9:05 Wait..You turned your miter gauge around? Huh. I guess as long as you press against it. Interesting. I'm sitting here thinking "Why didn't I think of that??"
