Crafting a Split Wood Cutting Board.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2019
- In this video we take a look how to make a board out of split wood. This was suggested by long time subscriber M Knowles who put me onto the original video and I thought I would share my take on it. It is very easy to do, and you can make anything from a small cutting board to a large table top. Thanks for watching...…..

Nice job Mark. I can see that technique could be applied to many different camp-crafted items. Thanks for sharing!
Hi JT, I hope you are keeping well :) I agree, it can be used for a wide variety of uses. I wish I had seen it done years ago :) As well as camp uses I have been using the process in the garden and made a few small rustic plant pot bases. Thanks as always for taking the time JT. It is great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
Super video, Mark. Thank you. Bushcraft is the ideal antidote for man flu and work stress! Get well soon, sir 😊
Hi Imran, I hope you ae keeping well my friend and not been working too hard :) Your lucky the weekend is here...… I'm working through until next Tuesday!! Many thank for watching and for the great comment :) It is always great to hear from you, all the very best, Mark :)
Always enjoy your videos Mark. Lots of practical uses. Thanks.
Hi Scott, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great day, all the best, Mark :)
Now that's great bushcrafting using a small saw and knives along with what nature provides. Love seeing ways to create useful camp items like this since I like to stay in one camp for awhile. This is something to do on those lazy days, or now that it's a change in season, on colder days. And hope your health is coming along, I'm doing ok with the few changes I made in my diet the last couple months. All the best!
Hi TC, I'm glad you are doing well mate :) I'm getting there, thanks. Just a bout of flu. But when the weather is wet and cold, it makes it feel worse lol. As well as using this around camp I have also been making a few rustic things for the garden which have turned out OK. Like you say, it is perfect for doing on a lazy day. Brew on the boil and Swiss army knife in hand :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment TC. It is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
Alright mark ... what a great wee project ... love it 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Andrew, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It is always great to hear from you :) All the very best, Mark :)
That's a cool project! I like that olive jacket, it looks military issue. Hope you are feeling better very soon, Mark!
Good morning Rich, I hope you are keeping well mate :) I will be doing a review on the jacket soon. It does look like its a military issue jacket, similar to the M65 style, but it's made a company called Paramo. It is there nature watchers jacket. Pretty much rustle free and has some great features and totally weather proof (for here in UK). Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you Rich, all the best, Mark :)
There is something uniquely calming watching someone build something useful from nothing in an outdoor environment, A pleasure to tune in as always brother please keep it up and stay safe and well.
Hi Brother, I hope you are keeping well :) I agree, I also love to watch someone producing things from scratch :) These are the kind of projects I can do all day long. Brew on the boil, whittling away :) Thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is always great to hear from you. Have a great week, all the very best, Mark :)
Pretty neat little project Mark. Requires time, patience and true understanding of the project. Pretty inspiring. Awesome craftsmanship. God Bless! - Joel
Hi Joel. I hope you are keeping well brother :) I noticed in your last video when you made your A frame from bamboo, it made me wish we had more of it growing over here. I would like to try these kind of projects using bamboo. But as a project, it is fun to do and has loads of uses around camp. I have made a few for the garden and used them as plant pot stands lol. Have a great week.... all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 All good in the mighty name of Jesus. Thanks for the comment brother....and yes, Bamboos are versatile and we can create a lot of thing...1st and foremost...A Nipa Hut...drinking mug...spoons etc. Thanks again for stopping by and leaving a great comment. Keep it awesome out there. God Bless you brother. By the way, RICK of Thrifty wants me to tell you “HI”... ✌🏼😊
Thanks for sharing this before. Never seen this done and it looks achievable for beginner bushcraft. Definitely going to try it. Cheers Mark.
Hi Urban Grrl, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) You should give it a try :) This was my first time and I found it to be simple to do and once you have done it a couple of times, there are a wide variety of things you could make using the same technique. Have a great day, all the very best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, another top contribution. That board looked fantastic and clearly useable. Very relaxing to watch and as always I pick up tips and learn. Thanks for the share and I hope you are feeling better soon buddy 👍👍. Cheers Sel
Good afternoon Sel, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is always great to hear from you mate :) I hope you are still working and enjoying yourself :) You should get out and do a few videos again mate. I have missed not seeing them for a while :) I'm starting to feel a bit better now thanks Sel. At least my hair has stopped aching lol. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark, Sorry to hear you've been under the weather but glad to see you're on the mend. It's amazing what you can do with a Swiss army knife. There is some guy with a channel dedicated to them. I've carried one for donkey's years and probably always will. Thanks for sharing mate. Look after yourself man. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
Good morning Wol, I hope you have been keeping well mate :) I'm getting there mate.... just a touch of flu. I wonder if the video I watched is the same guy. He was very skilled with the Swiss army knife :) I love these kind of ideas and skills as they have a wide variety of uses, both in camp and in the garden. Thanks as always mate for taking the time to watch the video and comment :) It is always great to hear from you, all the very best, Mark :)
I for one haven't seen anything like this before. Very interesting and useful. Thanks, Mark. ATB from Vietnam Sam Adler
Hi Sam, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) There is a good book showing a variety of small projects that you can do with a Swiss army knife. But this will be ideal either made small or for larger things such as table tops etc. Take care Sam, all the best, Mark :)
Thank you Mark!
Thats actually a pretty cool cutting board to put next to my BBQ... Like the idea! Cheers mark.
Hi Ja vy, I hope you are keeping well :) I'm glad you like the idea :) It is a very simple process to do once you have a couple of the notches cut and you can start to make a few rustic things for the garden and camp. I have been making a few plant pot stands this week and they have turned out OK :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment :) It is always great to hear from you. All the best, Mark :)
Thanks for sharing Mark what a great idea especially for a door as well😁👍
Hi Carl, I hope you are having a nice week so far mate :) Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment :) It is always great to hear from you mate :) As well as the couple of things I mentioned in the video, I have made a few things for the garden using the same method. They don't look too bad. So that's Christmas sorted lol. Thanks again Carl, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 hope your having a good week as well Mark take care mate😁👍
Very cool viddy as usual Mark, thanks so much for the knowlege you give us here in the smaller bushcraft community! Thanks alao to Michael Knowles for suggesting this, I've been meaning to make a permanent chopping board for ages but dont have the neccessary saw/s to cut deep enough for a good trunk ''cheese'' for the base of the board!
This was a cool and interesting concept and a great way to practice the wood carving skills etc. plus a great little future project for my new Casstrom & the pocket knife I don't yet own! :)
Cheers Mark I hope you have a great weekend
Thumbs up as usual
Chris
Hi Chris, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) I agree, when I first saw it I thought it was a neat idea with loads of uses. I have been making a few for the back garden as plant pot stands. Casstrom make some great knives. Their website has loads of nice gear on it, including the leather work that they sell. I'm glad you thought the video was useful Chris :) Hopefully I will get out somewhere for the next one :) Thanks for taking the time mate..... it is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
Nice work Mark!Never saw it before great job thanks for sharing!
Hi Robert, I hope you are keeping well mate :) many thanks as always for watching and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you :) Have a great week, all the very best, Mark :)
Nice little project Mark after a down period. I find all the natural materials so very interesting. It's surprising what you can do with just a knife and a smidgen of thought. Have a great rest of the week. Mark
Hi Mark, I hope you are keeping well mate :) I agree Mark, give me natural materials over modern synthetics any day. I much prefer the texture and smells of natural things like wood over plastics. Plus it is obviously better for the environment at the end of objects life. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment Mark :) It is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 I can see that Mark what natural materials mean to you. I think it's a bit like swimming for me. Fully immersive!
Great To have you out and about. Hope you’re feeling a lot better.
Excellent project, well done. 👍🏻
Good morning Michael, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Thanks again for putting me onto the video mate. I have been making all sorts for the garden lol. I love these kind of projects :) I'm getting better thanks Michael. Just a touch of the man flu lol. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Mark It’s not called man flu for no reason. It’s only catchable by men, cos if women caught it, it’s deadly 💀☠️💀 to the female species. 👍🏻
Glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery. Great to know the projects are blossoming. Hope your week continues to get better.
Have a chillaxing time. 🏕
@@Yorkshiremadmick LOL, that comment made me laugh mate...… in between coughing :) Yeah I have heard that only one woman has ever survived it in the past..... it's a famous urban legend lol. I hope you have a great week too Michael. All the very best mate, Mark :)
Great video and very interesting.
Thanks for the good tips.
greetings Ritera & Racoon
Hi Ritera & Racoon, many thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment :) It is very much appreciated :) Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Do it yourself, go to woodprix and learn how to make it.
Great video again Mark, Lovely little cutting board that.. Thanks for sharing matey. Hope you feel a bit better soon.
Thanks Alan :) Yeah, I'm getting over it now mate. Just a touch of the man flu lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment :) It is always great to hear from you. All the best, Mark :)
I've never seen that joining technique, thanks for the video. Hope you are feeling all better.
Hi G B, I hope you are keeping well :) I'm getting there now thanks :) It was a new one to me, so it was nice to get out and give it a try. I'm sure it will be getting used again as some point :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you, all the very best, Mark :)
Another very interesting video there. You never cease to amaze me brother. I can see plenty of uses for this. Thanks for sharing and God bless you.
Hi Brother, I hope you are keeping well :) I agree, this simple method has a multitude of uses. Hopefully I will try it out on a few other projects :) I have just read your comment on Joel's channel, but I can't reply to it for some reason. So I just wanted to say how pleased I am that you will be doing some filming again, and will look forward to watching them. We all love a good knife, so these will be right up my street :) Have a great week brother, best wishes, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Thank you brother. I'm doing well, God has been so good to me. Most of the filming I'll be doing will be knife reviews. I started with a small inventory of mid range knives that appear to provide a lot of bang for the money. I also have plans on ordering some higher end knives when I have the ability to do so, but there's not as much of a markup on most of the higher end knives. I think you can understand what I'm driving at when the wholesale price on some of these knives can be over $100. Ordering a quantity of those at this time is not within my means. That's why I'm starting that I can order enough of to offer my customers some variety.
As you probably know, there are other expenses when starting a business, so I have to start slowly, but I am excited about posting my website in the videos when I have all the bugs worked out. I also want to be setup for international shipping since many of my viewers are outside of the U.S. I know, I don't have a large following yet, but I haven't been doing anything other than replying to comments on it lately. Even so, It seems that I should let my followers know about the website, and not disallow them from ordering just because they live overseas.
This is way different than starting a drop ship or an affiliate business since I do have to have products in stock that my customers would be interested in. I will admit though that there are some fringe benefits to a brick and mortar business of this type. As long as you're selling products you're interested in, even if you get stuck with some of it, you probably will not be too upset about it. Haha!!! The website is still somewhat under construction, but it is live. I'd like to give you the URL so you can take a look at it and let me know about any changes you'd make, or give me some ideas. That is if you'd care to do so. I'm pretty proud of my business cards and I'd be happy to send you one. I could also email it to you in a PDF format if you'd like to see it now. I did all the artwork myself. Yes, I'm kind of patting myself on the back here.
Enough about that brother. Sorry, but I'm a bit passionate about the business. I must say that I really appreciate your friendship. Even though we've never physically met, I do consider you a true friend. That's why I shared so much about my new endeavor with you. Please feel free to email me at my personal email which is ------------------ any time you wish. I never miss any of my emails, so I'll always be sure to respond. As you mentioned not being able to reply to my comment on Joel's channel, it seems that RUclips does have some glitches, and for some reason I'm no longer being notified of when you post new videos. That's why I decided to give you my email address so we can keep abreast of each others social media activity without skipping a beat.
Sorry about writing this book. I guess I have the gift of gab on the keyboard as well. Anyway, take care of yourself brother, and have a blessed day.
@@thriftysurvivor6117 Thanks Eric :) I'm glad everything is going well for you brother. Having a new venture is always an exiting time and I truly hope it works for you :) I will certainly check out your knives and try to help in my small way :) Exciting time ahead for you...….. great stuff :) I have saved your email address Eric. Like you say, there seems to be a few glitches when trying to reply etc, so it would be nice to stay in touch in the event. Have a great week my friend, all the very best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Thank you brother. I may have trouble shipping overseas since different countries have different regulations regarding the import, or sales of knives in particular. I'm trying to find a way around that, but as of yet haven't been able to find any app, or software that determines weather or not one can legally ship certain types of knives to certain jurisdictions, or countries. The same applies for the U.S. from state to state, but at least here, as long as I stick with fixed blades, all states allow fixed blade knives of any configuration.
It's very complicated since weather it's a folder, the length of the blade, the type of action that's required to activate the automatic function , and even the shape of the blade can be a consideration for some locations. There has to be a way to allow customers to know when they place something in their shopping cart, weather or not it can be shipped to their location. Even the minimum age of the person must be known prior to shipping. I've been looking for an app that automates this, and I know some of the larger knife companies use something like what I'm describing, but it must be a well hidden "trade secret".
Anyway. I'll leave it at that for today, and I'll try not to bore you with any more of these details from this point forward.
Feel free to drop me an email if you wish, even if it's just to let me know when you've put up a new video.
I know, another very long reply on my part. You have a great week as well brother, and may our God richly bless you and your family.
@@markbailey2981 Sorry brother. I seem to have forgotten to hit reply on my last reply. I guess it's a little late now, but you have a blessed week as well.
As to the knife business, it looks like I'll just have to include a disclaimer prior to where people make their purchases informing them that it's their responsibility to comply with their local regulations. That should relieve me of any responsibility as far as avoiding shipping items to where they are restricted or banned.
I'm hoping to start posting my first knife videos next month. The reason I'm waiting is I still need a shipping label printer which is beyond my budget for this month. Then I'll have to get it connected with the app that automatically calculates shipping when people place their orders. This may sound like a hassle, but I'd rather do this than to have to deal with Amazon.
P.S. I have some Donald Trump 2020 knives that should sell well in conservative regions here in the U.S. I wander if RUclips will frown on me posting videos on a president that has been supportive of Israel, is pro life, pro freedom of religion, pro small government... All this goes against the liberal mindset of the tube. I think I'll be OK with posting those videos, but it might be wise to post videos of non political knives at first. The website is bushcraftedge.com so most of the knives will be bushcraft geared knives, but there's a market during our elections for these so I ordered some. Plus, admittedly, I kind of like them. Hehe!!!
You have a great rest of the week there brother.
Hi Mark, hope you are feeling better. Great project, not seen anything like this before. Victorinox knives are so underrated with all the bigger tools around, but I love them. Thanks for sharing, take care mate 👍😀
Hi Mike, I hope you are keeping well mate :) I agree, I wouldn't be without a Swiss Army knife. I only have a couple of different models, but I am always surprised by the amount of things you can produce with one. Plus they are always top quality :) Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment Mike :) All the very best, Mark :)
Good morning Mark, it's always good to have one of your videos to drink my morning coffee with! That's a great technique that could be applied in many ways. Nice one mate, take care and see you soon on the Tube!👍
Good morning Wade, I hope you are keeping well brother :) Sorry for the late response, I have still been knocked out by the man flu lol. Yeah I made the mistake of taking it home. Now I am making plant pot stands lol. They look nice, but I would rather be down the woods making things that I can use lol. Take care mate and have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Oh man that sucks being locked up with the flu! I hope your well soon bro. Lots of fluids and lots of RUclips that's what the doctor ordered! Haha👍
@@Woodswalker1965 I'm a lot better than I was thanks Wade :) It was one of those colds where even your hair ached. So you can imagine the aching lol. I agree plenty of tea and You Tube sounds like what's needed. Have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Fantastic video Mark, this will be great for a door to our log shelter mate, cracking!! I’ll certainly be copying this idea haha. Cheers mate, Ant 👍
Hi Ant, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Funny you should mention that. When I watched your video the other day I thought that would of fit perfect. I suppose they can be used for all sorts of things. I have had to make some as plant pot holders for the garden lol. Have a great day mate and thanks for your comment. It is always great to hear from you :) All the best, Mark.
Mark Bailey I’m good thanks Mark, yeah I think it will work perfectly, I’ll give it a good go when I’m next up camp bushcrafting 👍
Excellent video once again. 🤙
Thank you Richard :) I hope you are keeping well, all the very best, Mark :)

Good morning Dave...… I hope you are having a nice week so far mate :) It was a new on to me as well. I have been using it and making things for the back garden. They make nice plant pot bases lol.

Hi Andrew, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) I agree, these little projects are great to do.

Nice one Mark might give this a bash on a slightly larger scale and lash a few of them down on a raised bed in the lean- to shelter proper comfort. Hope you're feeling better fella. Atb Colin.
Hi Colin, I hope you are keeping well mate. Not too bad here now thanks mate. Just a bit of flu that was going around. That's a great idea about using them on a raised bed. I never thought of that :) I have been using the same thing in the garden and made a few rustic plant pot holders and bases. It seems to be a good way for a multitude of things. I'm sure I will be using it more in camp and hopefully get things nice and comfy up there :) Thanks as always Colin :) Have a great week mate, ATB Mark :)

Hi Mark! Interesting technique to put the pieces together. Do you think this will get loose, when the willow twigs dry and shrink? Take care brother and have a great week! André
Good morning Andre :) I hope you are keeping well brother. It is something that I thought about too. But I hope with them both being green that they would shrink together and still hold tight. It still seems fine at the moment, but if there was too much shrinkage on the Willow then you could always try a seasoned wood. This was bit of an experiment for myself too :) Thank for taking the time to watch and comment Andre :) It is always great to hear from you :) All the best, Mark :)
Nice video. Is that mushroom at the beginning of the video a Common Stinkhorn ?
Thank you ysgolgerlan :) Yes I believe it is a common Stinkhorn. They are quite common around these woodlands at this time of the year. I had a cold at the time, so it didn't smell to bad lol.

Hi Mark, Hope you're back to full fitness? Can I ask you for some info. please mate. I've made a couple of leather pouches as Christmas presents for my sons and want to get a couple of Victorinox Farmers to put in them I have made the pouch sizes based on my red Victorinox Swiss army knife. I know you rate the Farmer Alox I know length and width wise it will fit but can you let me have the thickness of the Farmer I don't want to order them and find they are too thick lol and yes I know I should have got the Farmers before making the pouches lol. Look forward to your next video. Best wishes Mel
Hi Mel, I hope you are keeping well mate. It is nice to hear from you :) I have just measured mine and it is 15mm thick. I have double checked it. I would hate you making them the wrong size lol. Hopefully I will be out soon Mel. My camera should be back next week...… fingers crossed. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Mark by the way, do you have much experience with outdoors smocks / jackets? I've seen you wearing different kit and am looking for something at the moment (winter in mind), I'm looking at Ridgeline but running out of £££ haha and definitely will not afford the nordic brands for many years yet ...
Any advice you have would be great
Cheers again
Chris
Hi Chris :) I have just bought a Paramo Pajaro jacket for the winter. They aren't cheap, but certain no where near as much as Fjallraven . The smock I wear in the winter was about £350, but I managed to get the Paramo for £200. Ridgeline make some good, hardwearing jackets and smocks. I was looking at them at the show for this winter, then I was thinking of getting a Ventile cotton jacket, but they were expensive!!!! Especially if it is a double layered Ventile which is best for wet climates, they were around £600, so I opted with the Paramo. They are still waterproof if you puncture them and a good all round jacket. Only snag, they don't like fire lol. Keela also make some decent jakets and smocks. They do a heritage range which the garments are made from Ventile, wools and cotton. I will leave you the link to the Paramo website. They say the rrp is £300, but you can get them cheaper off eBay. The one I am wearing in the video is the moss colour. I hope this helps mate, all the best, Mark :) www.paramo-clothing.com/en-gb/explore-range/product/?pk=26B71132-849D-4AA3-B7BB-72818DC1F204
