Made my first one last week, came out good, I am in the process of making more, I figure the more I make the better and faster I will become. I mainly have been building, tables, wall art, chests, and a custom bar. I have made picture frames in the past also, so I figured it's time to try these out. Great video, great product.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Fantastic! Enjoy the journey. Thanks for the kind words.

[@gvega17]

I am late to the party but this is one of the most satisfying videos I've watched in a while. I love ALL the design and patterns. Do you remember the widths of each strip? I loved the walnut-maple pattern with a strip of cherry in the middle. Well done

[@ladyb003]

Those cutting boards are beautiful. Great work. I wish I had all the equipment to make one but I don't. All I have is just hand power tools and a scroll saw, band saw and table saw. Oh and a router. Thanks for sharing.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thanks for taking the time to watch. You could make these boards with the tools you have as long as you have a hand plane and some clamps. A table saw can get you very good "joined" edges. Give it a shot, I bet you will be impressed.

[@StanCrafted]

As mentioned you have everything you need to make a great cutting board...just dive right in!

Titebond III isn’t just food safe. It’s water proof. That’s why it’s recommended for boards. All Titebond glues are considered “food safe” for indirect contact. Good job on them. Nice clean design

Thanks for the video. I am making cutting boards for gifts this year. I like your color combinations. I noticed your joiner looks just like mine except for color. I have the Wahuda which I think is new company name. Thanks for the inspiration. I have been stuck on maple and walnut so I will copy your idea and add in some cherry. I bought some paduk but my wife doesn’t like the color so...

These are face grain and not edge grain, right? Or am I crazy lol? Beautiful none the less!

[@kmik4466]

No these are edge grain. He flips them after cutting. Face grain would be just ripping and gluing the faces side by side.

[@stevek8170]

Some of the stripes are clearly face grain. He starts with 6/4 wood, mills, then cut thin strips with the face up for the accent stripes. These stripes are face grain.

[@dantd123]

Agreed, these look like face grain boards to me. As you mention still great looking though

[@onerays]

@@stevek8170 Not only the stripes, you can clearly see the burnt marks on the edge of the maple, which he covers with glue.

[@clearcut6818]

When you consider the orientations of a log, face grain and edge grain are practically the same.

[@TheAlogoc]

the dark wood,thin pieces you cut are not longgrain? they are stacked into the board the same way they were cuted(not turned to their side)?

[@2shoestoo]

You should always rout your end grain first and end with your straight grain to clean up any tear out

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thanks for the tip!

[@TheAyotteMan]

Can I ask what your starting and ending thickness is? I feel like I’m losing a lot of width in the finishing process when I use my drum sander to get it even.

[@monkeyman6292]

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@tonycordell9205]

How do you prevent the boards from curling? I followed you video exactly and the first time mine got wet it curled? Any advice??

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@Tony Cordell, how thick are your finished boards?

[@herbsu4330]

So if I guess this part face and edge grain?

[@jacobschweitzer2954]

what size board did you start with? was it 4/4 or bigger? Trying to figure out how you got such a thick piece of "edge" grain, which looks like face grain.

[@markagoodger1]

Excellent Video, and nice looking finished product. Question, the main 'maple' strips are 'Edge' grain, whereas the walnut thin strips are 'Face' grain, correct?

[@BuildStuffwithAJ]

Good looking cutting boards! I've been thinking about getting a branding iron made for all my projects.

Any issues with planer snipe? Great work.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Thank you! I had a little bit, but I mitigated it as much as possible by lifting up on the boards as they come out of the planer. Not too bad. Sanding took care of it. Thanks for watching!

[@finnwoodcustoms2456]

These are great but the title seems a bit misleading to me. If you're ripping strips of various widths from a freshly milled piece, how is that not face grain?

[@therevngraham]

You did nice work! I’m wondering what size the smaller boards you used... looks like 3/4?

[@davidturner6436]

So question. Is the chamfer suppose to be on top or bottom?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Whatever you want! No rules. I've seen it both ways and both can work.

[@rickbailey4529]

Great boards. Approximately how long do you heat up the branding iron? Mine seems to either be too hot and bleeds out the logo or too cool and barely viewable.

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

@Rick Bailey I do some tests. I heat for at least 5 minutes and sometimes up to 8. A lot will depend on the specific torch or heating method you are using. Do some test burns on a scrap piece. Also, lightly wetting the area you intend to brand first, will help with getting a crisp burn.

[@jonwhitehead2102]

I know this is a year later but I have some problems sometimes getting too hot or not hot enough. One thing I also do is after you brand it, don't be afraid to sand over top of it. This will help to rid any of those yellowing edges and will help too if you got a little too hot.

[@jrcagle]

Wouldn't this be considered a face grain cutting board?

[@markmcnair5864]

How do you feel about your cutech tools so far? Especially jointer.

[@jessiestratton1699]

You don’t really. I made my first one with a like 40 year old table saw and some miscellaneous sanders. No planer, jointer etc.

[@zacharyyoung1083]

You can get a brand new jointer, planer and table saw of excellent quality for around $1500, so no...

[@TheAlogoc]

I used the same method as you do... Joint, planed the boards and everything and the boards seem to bend. Bit right away but when i moved them to different temp than my workshop.
They bend one way then a turn them around and they bend the other way.
The sides go up about 1-3 mm.
What can couse this?

[@CCSandSonsWorkshop]

Did you allow the glue to fully set? Or was this warping after all was set and dry? If after, how thick was your board? Extreme changes in humidity can cause that.

[@TheAlogoc]

@@CCSandSonsWorkshop i waited overnight every time.tickness 2.6cm about 1 inch. It stated to warp after significat temp change, after i took it from workshop to house. But the strange thing is it warps on one side, then you turn it around, and it bends on the other side, not much by 2-3mm.
I think it May has to do whit the way i oriented the grain on the wood

How do you like the Cutech planer and jointer? They're now Wahuda. The jointer has such short in/out tables that it seems there might be a problem with longer boards. I'm saving up to get a jointer. I have a planer but want to upgrade to one with helical blades. Thank you

[@teamvtube]

The snipe is really visible during the sanding phase.
You can really see it on the darker boards around 8 minutes into the video.
The only way to stop it is to attach sacrificial boards to the outside of the chopping board that are longer and they wear the snipe.
