Wonderful job! The cut out hand holds are simply brilliant! Love that you can slip your plate in there and sweep off whatever onto the plate with no mess on the counter! Well done! Thanks you.
Love this channel - no hype no wackiness, just cool projects and zen-like narration. Kudos for always wearing PPE - so many big name woodworkers here don’t
I’ve made several end-grain cutting boards and give them away as gifts. Never thought about using one myself until now! I love the size and the hand holds/plate cutout. Headed to my shop right now to get started! Thanks, great channel!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on You Tube. Your narrative is articulate and easily tracks your steps. Your end product was beautiful. Anybody, regardless of skill level, would learn from it. Thanks!
The handles are a great idea love it and my wife quickly opens and closes the door with dust cloud lol. Great work and awesome videos. Please keep them coming
First time here and now a subscriber. Great job working in what looks like a pretty small shp. Boards turned out very nice and you're really good with the background dialog. Thanks for posting.
Sir, you have a gift from the lord, a natural calming voice for teaching. I hope that you’re sharing this knowing with the youths in the neighborhood. I will say the video wins an Oscar PLUS 5 STARS!!😊
Wood: Some dollars. Labor: Some more dollars. Giving family a gift they'll cherish AND use for years: Priceless. I make different things, but I always get a great feeling when I see them being used.
You earned a new subscriber. Nicely done video, great cutting board design, and the story was entertaining. I also like your shop and choice of machines.
Very nice, great craftmanship. I like the tip for the handles on the cutting boards. I have had the lumber for cutting boards beside my workbench for months, I will get started after Christmas. I enjoy your videos and keep making sawdust.
Dan, your video to me was "illuminating" and it fits the definition well: illuminating adjective il·lu·mi·nat·ing i-ˈlü-mə-ˌnā-tiŋ : providing insight, clarity, or understanding : highly informative
"Something that's illuminating makes you better informed, more aware, or more inspired. An illuminating documentary film gives you all kinds of new information about its subject." "Describe things as illuminating when they clarify the situation or explain the facts. A long conversation with someone you don't know well can be illuminating, helping you understand her much better. Likewise, studying the details of any subject, whether it's dog training or art history, is also illuminating. The verb illuminate means "light up," and it comes from the Latin word illuminare, "to throw into light or make bright," which is also figuratively used to mean "illustrate." Great Video!!
Thank you! Your style of production is great, and your explanations are very clear. I can't thank you enough for the handhold cutting technique you show. Now I just need to make me a tall board and cut some dovetail grooves for the clamps, then I can cut these "plate relief" handholds. I think that is a stand-out feature for your boards. I will remember to mention you (and this video) when I gift the boards. Have a great Christmas/Chanukah/holiday season.
First time seeing you. Subscribed and will watch more. I felt at home watching your video! Great stuff! I have the identical sander and almost got rid of it a few years ago…I’m glad I didn’t! But maybe I have more room than you do.
Now I know what you meant by the handle/plate depositer (for lack of a better term) when you had the plate underneath the handle holds to slide your diced onions onto. That’s a pretty slick idea. I think I will use that next time I build a cutting board.
came for the thumbnail, stayed for the dry humor, and walked away with a tip about oil finish in different temps. great editing / content bro. but what would a comment be without a critique lol. i found a 3d print file that literally snapped on my dewalt router and bam i got dust collection, also i had a piece of plywood that would rest on the arms of my dewalt table saw to act as a quick and dirty router table. ive since upgraded but same principle. i ordered an additional base off ebay and mounted that to the bottom of my bench. so my hand held is also a table router in 2 secs no tools. make edge profiling soooo much easier / stable, as specially if you intend on klimb cutting.
yeah, i think doing the edge profiling at the router table would probably be a bit more cumbersome with the size of these cutting boards, but it would definitely be cleaner 👍🏾😀
Nice one mate! I have been wanting to do an end grain cutting board for a long time, but I always feel that I lack the tools needed, because just as you mentioned, tight glue lines are super important when doing cutting boards.
@@danmadewoodworking Yeah and for me at least I feel like the milling needed is part of the fun. I just need to get my table saw tuned in as good as possible and get myself a thickness planer, then I think I will be able to do it :) But getting hardwood (huh huh get your mind out of the gutter :) ) is still a task here in Sweden, we don´t have any of those nice hardwood stores you see on youtube and at the big box store you only find smaller pieces of oak if you are lucky. But some day! :D
"Everybody loves parfaits." Great looking boards, Dan. I'm sure they were greatly appreciated by your family. Interesting comment about routing dust. I'm building a craft storage "cabinet" for my wife and was routing some rabbets last night. Cloud of dust in a snowstorm...I need to figure out dust collection for my router. Btw...didn't Maple, Walnut, and Cherry open for Peter, Paul, and Mary back in the 60s? 😂
That’s not a bad idea using the dado stack to cut the plate profile out. The only downside is not being able to flip the board and use the other side. I like doing this in my professional kitchen because I can use one side for meat and one side for veggies. Great video production and solid boards too
Dan (I assume) - those are beautiful. Thanks for including all the tips on cutting boards. I've made more of those than I should have (great for scrapwood!) and you taught me something, and not just that handle trick. I've never sanded the cutting surfaces beyond 150 or 180 (depending on what discs I've got) because of the intended use. Also, I'd stick with the drum sander because the planer can tear out wood if you're planing against the grain, which will leave potential gaps in the surfaces later... just my take. The planer does work well on the end grain, though, if you can fit it thru your DeWalt. Question and pointed comment: Pointed Comment: how do we talk you out of wearing gloves when using the table saw? Sorry, had to say it. Question (implied): I don't know where you are, but I'd consider taking that drum sander off your hands if you're relatively near NoVA and DC.
Ya gloves seem like a weird choice, especially considering that you aren’t always wearing them and if it’s so cold you should get some boots and ditch the crocs! Great video
Planer makes the face-to-be cut parallel to the reference face. Jointer makes a true face to be used as reference. That's why you join the face and then plane the opposing face. Hopefully that helps. A planer also gives you your desired thickness which a jointer doesn't do as well.
Basically what @claytor920 said. If I used the jointer on all four sides, all four sides would be flat, but it wouldn't be square. Using both machines together makes it flat and square.
I only run it through the planer after the first glue up when the face/edge grain is still facing up. After the second/last glue up when the end grain is facing up is when you might not want to run it through the planer. I don't have a planer big enough to run it through anyway, but if I did, I might try it with super light passes. I've seen folks have success with that.
Finally…a woodworker showing his skills and not trying to sell a tool. Love the slot for a plate btw
Wonderful job! The cut out hand holds are simply brilliant! Love that you can slip your plate in there and sweep off whatever onto the plate with no mess on the counter! Well done! Thanks you.

Well done. Its nice to see a woodworker that uses what they have and doesn't complicate the task unnecessarily. Great job
Appreciate it!
Yeah making do with a SawStop!
I love that plate groove idea, and the way you implemented it with the dado stack, excellent work!
Yeah, what he said, cool idea - Well done
Glad you liked it! It’s my new go-to 😃
Great job Dan. The techniques are great and your presentation style is super. Looking forward to more.
Thanks a lot 👍🏾😃
I made 3 for Christmas presents and 2 glued up in the shop now... thanks for sharing...our methods are very similar... God bless
I’ve made several end-grain cutting boards and give them away as gifts. Never thought about using one myself until now! I love the size and the hand holds/plate cutout. Headed to my shop right now to get started!

😂 yeah, I guess saw dust is wife repellant
I just discovered your app and your page. Outstanding! Possibly the best I’ve seen.
Thank you very much! 😃
Like the idea about the handle/plate slots. Great idea and your daughter was right - it looks cool as well.
Dan The Man!! Good stuff brother.
Actual wood working, good quality ang great sense of humor. Sub all
One of the most useful woodworking videos I have seen this year! Thanks for sharing your technique and methods!!
Nicely done, the woodworking and the video!
Great video-plenty of useful tips! I like how you used dovetail clamps to attach the tall fence.
First time here and now a subscriber. Great job working in what looks like a pretty small shp. Boards turned out very nice and you're really good with the background dialog. Thanks for posting.
Really enjoy your style of presentations. Very well thought out with tips and tricks sprinkled throughout. Great video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Only just found your channel. I did not know about the oil leaking so thank you for that and I enjoyed this. From the UK.
Glad it was helpful!
like the handholds. gonna steal that one from you. Good info in temperature and oils too. Thx
Excellent video. Hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas!
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas!
I enjoy the content you create. Looking forward to your future stuff. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thanks... I appreciate that! 🙂
I'm making one for Xmas as a gift in my shed. The tip about the oil was really useful... thank you
Glad it was helpful! 👍🏾
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Boards look great!
That handhold Idea is Awesome!!!
Excellent process. Very good looking final results. Before I forget, I enjoyed the music too. How could anyone ask for more!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
The dark Walnut was my favorite. I think I'll make one this week! Beautiful!
I do like the plate groove, and will copy it! Thank you.
👍🏾😃
Sir, you have a gift from the lord, a natural calming voice for teaching. I hope that you’re sharing this knowing with the youths in the neighborhood. I will say the video wins an Oscar PLUS 5 STARS!!😊

Beautiful boards, great video, and great narration! I will absolutely steal the idea for the hand hold cutouts. :)
Awesome! Steal away! 😄
A plate shaped handle hold? That's a brilliant idea. Nice work too.

1:18 "Never gonna use it." 😂 I feel that keenly.
Yeah, but we still keep it 😂
I saw this guy use some sort of vacuumbag system to flatten his glueups. Probably expensive but it divides the pressure very evenly.
Yeah, not sure that a vacuum bag would work for this application. But like you, I also assume it's expensive 😃
Wonderful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!

You have better tools than I have in my cabinet shop? LOL! Nice job friend!

Nice work man learned a few good tips for sure.
Couple good one liners too "Leaking oil like your first car" 😂

Thanks a lot!
Those are beautiful and the dado groove is the perfect idea/solution. Thanks so much for sharing. Subscribed!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😊
I like cooking & a bit of woodworking. Just too old to do both. Nice work.
😂
Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing. Great skills and examples.
Thank you! 😀
I really enjoyed the production, @Danmade. Thanks for sharing. I'm delighted that the algorithm put this in my feed. Merry Christmas!
I'm glad they did too 😃. Merry Christmas!
Nice job …….well presented……..subscribed 👍👍
Great work, great story, etc.
Nice! Great step-by-step instructions. Thanks for putting this one together
Thanks for watching! 👍🏾
Nice video, dado is the way to go, thank you.
Great video, thanks. Your job-site saw is my only saw.

Nice one mate! I have been wanting to do an end grain cutting board for a long time, but I always feel that I lack the tools needed, because just as you mentioned, tight glue lines are super important when doing cutting boards.
You can always do it with lumber that's already been surfaced.
@@danmadewoodworking Well yeah I know but it is quite hard to find hardwood at all where I´m from, even harder to find surfaced.
@stefanleijon9637 yeah, I hear ya. I suppose there's the mail order router like woodworkers source, but then it starts getting a bit pricey.
@@danmadewoodworking Yeah and for me at least I feel like the milling needed is part of the fun.
I just need to get my table saw tuned in as good as possible and get myself a thickness planer, then I think I will be able to do it :)

Very clever plate groove!
You just made me go out and get a Dado stack. Thanks!
Nice! 😂🤣
Thanks Dan. Now i have to go measure some plates ;)
Great video and awesome work! Thanks for posting.
Thank you!
Great tips & nice work. Think you answered my curiosity about getting a similar drum sander, ha.
hahaha... yeah, i wish i had more uses for it, but i just don't 🙂
Nice work - thanks!
Great Job !!!
Very enjoyable video, new subscriber here in Florida…cheers, Paul
Thanks for watching Paul! 😃
man.beautiful work..and.that walnut board is INSANE....would you ever consider making another one for a paying customer?😁
Thanks! Maybe one day! 😃
"Everybody loves parfaits."
Great looking boards, Dan. I'm sure they were greatly appreciated by your family.
Interesting comment about routing dust. I'm building a craft storage "cabinet" for my wife and was routing some rabbets last night. Cloud of dust in a snowstorm...I need to figure out dust collection for my router.
Btw...didn't Maple, Walnut, and Cherry open for Peter, Paul, and Mary back in the 60s? 😂

Yeah, routers make some kind of mess. I wonder if the fact that I was doing a climb cut made the dust spray more than usual 🤔
love your channel.
Thanks 🙏🏾😃
Looks great, man. Good job.

That’s not a bad idea using the dado stack to cut the plate profile out. The only downside is not being able to flip the board and use the other side. I like doing this in my professional kitchen because I can use one side for meat and one side for veggies. Great video production and solid boards too
Yeah, that's a good point. I guess you also don't like feet on your boards for the same reason?
Great video, subscribed. I take the drum sander if you don't want it anymore.
😂 Thanks!
I like this idea. Thanks
Great vid Brother. Keep at it, keep them coming. New subscriber! Thanks
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you like it!
Subscribed. Great video.
Nice results. Straight forward process. Thanks for skipping the endless sanding I'm sure you did!
Adding the oil, seeing the grain pop is the best!
Thanks... yeah, nobody wants to see all that sanding 😀
Fantastic video and process. Thank you!
Thanks, I appreciate it! 👍🏾

Great video
Cold shop in the barn, walked to the house for glue and battery tools soooooo many times. Only time to work wood is winter
Yep, glue and batteries are the only two things I don't keep in the shop 😃
Nice Job
Very Nice, Thanks
nicely done ! what kind of oil are you using?
It's just mineral oil 🙂
Good tip….I have been doing a similar handle just using a skil saw…..what was the size of your board?
My boards were around 18x24 inches, give or take. The Walnut one was a bit smaller than that though because I didn't have enough usable lumber.
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙏🏾😃
12:45 Great look LOL!
😂
Great video, and what I would call a facepalm idea. First timeI have seen that done, and well, it just makes so much sense.
Thanks! Glad it worked out... I'll definitely never not do that going forward 😀
The boards look great. How do you like the match fit system?
Thanks! I like it a lot. It's easily my favorite thing that they've made becuse I can use it for so many things.

Thanks!
Ya gloves seem like a weird choice, especially considering that you aren’t always wearing them and if it’s so cold you should get some boots and ditch the crocs! Great video
I'm not always wearing them because it's not always the same temperature. And I'm not sure that boots would do much to keep my hands warm 😀
Hey dude. Genuine question: why use the planer if uou have a jointer. Wouldnt it be better to just run it through the jointer on all sides?
Planer makes the face-to-be cut parallel to the reference face. Jointer makes a true face to be used as reference. That's why you join the face and then plane the opposing face. Hopefully that helps.

Great idea for the handles.👍 Are Dado blades legal in Australia?
Thanks! As far as I know they are 😃
Very cool.
What did you use for the oil? Was/is it food friendly?
Yes, it was mineral oil
Def get a minisplit to heat that shop. Best choice I ever made
Show de bola irmão
If you would have sold it, how much would have asked for it?
Not sure, I would try to get as much as the market would bear. 😃 No less than $300, but probably closer to $400 based on what I'm seeing online.
Thank you.
Great video! Do you typically run an end grain board through your planer? I heard that can have a lot of tear out. Is that not true?
I only run it through the planer after the first glue up when the face/edge grain is still facing up. After the second/last glue up when the end grain is facing up is when you might not want to run it through the planer. I don't have a planer big enough to run it through anyway, but if I did, I might try it with super light passes. I've seen folks have success with that.
