- I wanted to prove (or disprove) to myself that small cutting / chopping / serving boards are worth making or not.
When visiting a friend recently they brought out a lovely little serving . cutting board and I immediately thought Ill make one of those for myself and then thought that maybe other people might like them / buy them as well.
So in this video I wanted to find out if I could make them, and make a profit on them.

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
Cut a piece of 1/4 Masonite for a template and use bandsaw leave the line , then dress up with router
A lovely, honest presentation, well done.
Best,
Paul
This is quite the perfect little size cutting board. These are great!
Great work.👍
Another great video and and your skills are wonderful as always 😊
Thanks Michael
Nice to see your thought process in creating a jig to efficiently batch out craft projects..... looking forward to improvements and more similar! 😀👍
Thanks Grumps
Hi Graham
Great video once again, looking forward to the updated jig and the little tweaks to the boards, Im sure these will be a great addition to your craft fair product range
Best Wishes
David
Thanks David. 👍👍
great video.
I have a beech dining table going to be recycled, most of the panels are between 19-25mm thick. Not enough to resaw, my bandsaw wouldn't handle it. But planning to make 2 Sided. Cutting board face, recess other face 15mm to make snack/nibbles tray/charcouterie board.
I like the sound of that. 👍
Excellent work, attempts and examples paid off. Have a good day
Greetings sir
Abdullah
Thanks Abdullah. 👍
Great vid!
Thank you. 👍
I don’t think you should add drying time for the glue because technically you can be cutting pieces for another cutting board while it’s drying, which would actually cut time down on your next board.
Wouldn't mind a few of those myself. You never know when you might get stuck up a creek.......
🤣
Very interesting, though I'm surprised you didn't at least have an attempt at cutting the excess off on the bandsaw and using the router table with the template for one of your boards, even if just for the sake of comparison. The cleanup would have been easier to boot.
That may happen yet.
Interesting. As you indicated I hope you can become more efficiency and thereby reduce time and increase profitability. Overall,
Well Done.
You got a nice ribbon pattern in the beech, did you reverse pieces in glue up? How did timing & efficiency work out compared to your standard board with contrasting handles?
Hi John, without the swapped handles obviously much quicker, however the contrasting handles really attract the potential customer where as the plain colour does not, at all. In fact it may well be worth a video in its own right just talking about the success and failures of boards for sale at craft shows.
Love the videos.👍 Is this something the CNC you have could do? Thanks Allan👌
Hi Alan, yes indeed it could of, but I wanted to see how long it would take me. Plus I enjoy doing it myself more. 👍
Graham, great job on breaking things down.
What is that constant knocking sound we hear occasionally in the background? It's oddly therapeutic...
Hi NW, thank you. The noise is made by the pump on my diesel heater and you're right its very comforting. 😁
How much time do you anticipate taking to sell each board? Probably as much as the time you spent making them.
What kind of wax did you use? thanks
Oil and Beeswax mixed.
