Greatly appreciate your video, as it verified that I was on the right track when processing my calculations. I've only made one chevron board, only used my calculator to do run the numbers. Afterwards, I found that same website that you mentioned....that little calculator website will definitely help save some battery life of my handheld calculator. Also, despite the additional waste incurred, I also prefer the 45° chevron over the 30°. Great video, thanks.
Thank you for the video it was informative. I've made plenty of Chevron boards and I've never caught a strip less than 1 1/4". And I always use 45ﾟ, and the patterns come out much better. You should give it a try I think you'll like it much better
Miter guage set to 15 degrees since you have 2-15 degree angles meeting which equals 30 degrees? Also why clamp the boards at an angle at all? Couldn't you just clamp them straight and cut each each end at 15 degrees when glued up? Just wondering what I'm missing. Thanks for the video.
I apologize for the long delay in response, I somehow missed the comment. I don't believe if built in that orientation that the surface would look much different from a typical end grain board, but it certainly would add interest to the side of the cutting board! Thank you!
End grain to end grain with modern glue is stronger than traditionally believed. There are several comprehensive videos on joint strengths of different glue ups that demonstrate it is a pretty strong joint. In a table or another large surface in a chevron pattern I might be concerned with expansion and contraction over time stressing the end grain glue joint, but in a board this size its is highly unlikely to be an issue unless built with green wood that hadn't stabilized yet. I have yet to have any issues with a cutting board built in the fashion shown here. Thank you for the comment!!

Great video, thanks.
Thank you for taking time to comment, I glad it helped!!
Nice job and thanks for simplifying the calculations. Definitely saving a lot of time and wood.
Thank you, I wasn't entirely sure if I presented the information well but I'm very happy if it was helpful! Thank you so much for your comment!
Great job of explaining the setup and taking a bit of the guesswork out of the planning.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing the math part of it that was very helpful .
Your welcome! I glad it was helpful
Absolutely needed video..!!
Thank you! I hope found it useful.

Thank you! I do like the look of the 45 degree boards better.

Thank you for inquiring! This method minimizes wood waste. Clamping them straight creates a significant clamping challenges.
With the same board if you make end grain how does it look? you can try.

Any concern about the end grain to end grain glue up?
