As someone who has had childhood cancer I really applaud and appreciate you and STL’s hard work to make it, then auction it off to donate to St Judes. Even tho I wasnt treated at St Judes they are a phenomial place and I appreciate what you guys have done!!
I loved how you did the first part in your video and then Greg did the second part in his video. I am a true beginner, and your two-video format with one of you narrating at a time worked really well for me. Thank you!
I recently completed a cutting board class with Alex Snodgrass - great class. In the class we made end grain cutting boards using what I believe was Titebond II (may have been TB III). We only let the glue-ups sit for about 30 minutes before the next step.
If you are new to making cutting boards, PLEASE check in your area before you dive into this. I wouldn't be able to sell that in my area for $50. Too many people making cutting boards and evidently more than a few sourcing free wood from somewhere because they are almost giving them away. Maybe not where you are, but the boards I have made are nice and ornate, and they are just sitting here. Looking at me. Don't make the mistake I made.
Just curious why you chose purple heart for the union instead of the stripes? It seems more appropriate to use purple heart in stripes and walnut in union. Definitely need to add this to my repertoire!
Hello, fairly old subscriber chiming in. I watched the entire video and paid close attention. What in particular was it that you wished you knew when you started woodworking? You titled the video under that statement but never said anything at all about it. Kinda left us hanging on that title.
It would be easier to do the union and small stripes together then bring it together. No need for dowels on the two end grains, that's stronger than the edge grain glue up anyways.
Can you do a video how you choose what sides you choose to joint first. I know there is bowing, cupping and twisting. I know you need to heck for this before you buy your wood but this can still happen while you let the wood get used to the shop environment before you use it. Thanks.
This is great, but most people do not have table saws, band saws, planers, joiners, and track saws. I am wondering if there could be any type of projects shown where the mentioned power tools are not available? I know it would be a lot harder, but wondering if anything of value can be made.
I made plenty of stuff before I got any of those tools. I started with a circular saw and a drill. Just have to pick projects for those type things but I made out door furniture and simple benches with those.
Maybe somebody can answer this, as I'm genuinely curious/puzzled. What is the purpose of "popping the grain" if you sand it afterward? Aren't you just clogging the pores of the wood again? I keep hearing conflicting info on this; Rubio Monocoat says to pop the grain and not sand again, but others say to sand afterward. Thanks in advance!!
Can I ask, why bother doing all the sanding before doing the inlay? Surely it needs sanding again after. (With the caveat that I have not watched the follow up video yet!)
I am an old guy. Sixty-five years ago as a Boy Scout I learned to stand at attention and salute the Flag. I did the same as a Naval Officer. I believe what you are doing is contrary to Flag Etiquette and desecrates the flag that many died for.
Thank you for your feedback on this. I disagree that this is desecrating a flag. In my opinion desecrating a flag would be taking an actual flag and doing something to it like defacing it, trampling, etc. We make an item out of wood that looks like the American flag. It is not a flag that would fly anywhere. It's no different than someone making an American Flag patch and putting it on a shirt or hat. It looks like a flag, but is a patch. This looks like an American flag but is a cutting board.
@@731Woodworks I'm also an old guy. I was a Boy Scout and a Marine. In 1984 I hoisted that flag many mornings at Camp Schwab, Okinawa, and brought it down at many sunsets. That finished cutting board with the stars is beautiful. Nothing desecrated here! I personally would have used the maple and purple heart for stripes, while making a walnut union. That of course is an aesthetic preference, and in no way diminishes this particular piece. It's gorgeous. Shout out to both of you for doing this for St. Jude. Individual shout out to Matt for bringing in a smaller content creator, and increasing his exposure.
@@duddie1000 Public Law 94-344, known as the Federal Flag Code, contains rules for handling and displaying the U.S. flag. The language of the federal code makes it clear that the flag is a living symbol. They made a cutting board, it resembles the US flag, but it's not a US flag, it's a cutting board. If they took a US flag and poured epoxy over it, and called it a cutting board, I'd agree with you.
It just happened out that way. Greg did a great job showing how to make the cutting board, he gave some tips through the video on glue times, etc. I'll keep that in mind for future videos if we collab again. Thanks.

Great to hear, thank you!
Great work! The cause compounds it all!!!
I made my self one a few years ago w/ maple and Padauk stripes and a Purple Heart union. I love it!
Great project and cause! Thanks fellas!
Really loved that you did a build video again! Loved the idea that y'all did this for the kiddos! 😊
Great video for a great cause, thanks for sharing the links, too!

As always nice job. I will have to try that making one like that
I follow dozens of woodworking channels and can't name one I like more than yours. Keep up the great work :)
Wow, thanks!

not overly expensive woods... i LOL Where do you get your wood. I wanted to do my dads flag box in walnut. 17inch 17inch 25inch. It was almost 100$
It would be easier to do the union and small stripes together then bring it together. No need for dowels on the two end grains, that's stronger than the edge grain glue up anyways.

I would like to see you make more videos with other woodworkers. 🪚

Only $30 in materials?.......
I'd like to live where you live. The most I have gotten is $90. for a board
Anyone else think that Gregg just talks way too damn much?
I mean, you cant get a word in edge ways!
Where do I get wood like that?
Woodcraft, Rockler, Woodpeckers all sell it online or you can find local hardwood dealers in your area.
Can I ask, why bother doing all the sanding before doing the inlay? Surely it needs sanding again after. (With the caveat that I have not watched the follow up video yet!)
I was excited by a Led cutting board…

Super awesome video, however watching both this video and the other dudes video was awkward because you guys don’t talk at all in each others video.
Where is your tool cart? 😢
It's in the shop still. Had too much on it, so I just moved the tools over the workbench lol.
what was the point of having Greg on if you did all the talking?
It could have been arranged to be that way before it was filmed maybe ?
Still weird
It just happened out that way. Greg did a great job showing how to make the cutting board, he gave some tips through the video on glue times, etc. I'll keep that in mind for future videos if we collab again. Thanks.
@@731Woodworks To be fair, part 2 in on Greg's channel where he does all the talking.
I am shy LOL
dont believe your lying eyes?
