Professional Grade Cutting Boards - Vermont Hard Maple and Cherry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Colder weather here in Vermont makes hardwood a bit harder. No it isn't end grain butcher block but these are good solid boards. The weight of the wood combined with the non-slip silicone feet make it incredibly stable. I am using 6/4 hard maple from a local mill. This was an experimental production. I tried a slightly different milling operation that minimized steps. Usually, the rough cut wood would be flattened and surface planed before going to the table saw. I skipped this step and went right to edge join and rip. Some people say that it is dangerous to cut rough hardwood on the table saw but if you know what to do and not to do then it works fine. before glue-up, I was able to skip surface planing completely and this saved time and maximized yield of usable wood. The finished thickness ended up just over 1.5"
What?? No riving knife!!! Really?? Kick Back, here I come!!
Found your channel by accident while looking for some feet for my new and grain teak cutting board, but I really enjoy seeing you build such really nice boards. I like the cove in lieu of a cut handle opening as another commentor said, doesnt interfere with surface space and it looks great. Do you have to buy new wood or can you get cut offs and ends etc, if not im guessing the wood is not cheap. These are some beautiful boards youre making.
nice and clean boards. I like the use of the cove routing along the bottom in lieu of finger holds on the ends.
Hey Mitch. What kind of tolerances do you accept on your cuts? Not just cutting boards, but tables, etc. 1/64th, 100th of an inch?
depends on what i am building and why I am building it. for glue joints, I tend to make them as perfect as possible.
Magnificent, perfect, splendid and very tasteful.
Sorry, but the video is boring and too long. Too much repetitive work. Time-lapse would have been useful. But the cutting boards are still nice.
Best regards from Seevetal/Germany.
Really, we don't need to see you rip or joint every board. No learning going on here.
Is cutting board oil the same as mineral oil
if it looks like mineral oil, its mineral oil.
I was just getting my new teak board ready to oil and did some research, according to what I found butcher block oil and cutting board oil is more purified to meet food grade specs - whatever that is. Im only repeating what ive read online mind you my info may be incorrect. They do sell specific oils for this purpose, but as to whether or not theres -really- any difference between it and standard mineral oil I dont know any more than what ive read. For all I know they may just bottle regular mineral oil in a fancy bottle, claim its special and charge 3x more for it - lol
@@yambo59 mineral oil is safe. It's a laxative.
That's a nice solid table. I assume you need to slide the motor out from the bottom to change the bits?

Which oil did you use?
Does your planer have the helical cutting head?
yes it does. it is the grizzly brand. not as good as the Byrd
Good idea that sled, but did you ever think to use a drum-sander?
Like your excellent vids and builds and your soothing voice.
I have a performax 16-32 that I use for sanding strips less than 1/4" thick. its like 20 times slower than the planer so I would use the planer unless I get a wide belt sander someday
@@hffcom you still need to remove the planer sheen. And rase the grain with water.
Would be nice to get dimensions along the way and some more explanation
Handschuhe ?

hello, beautiful cutting boards congratulations !!! please tell me what type of oil you used for the finish and if it is resistant to the use of the cutting board. thank you
You can use mineral oil, or coconut oil, safe for food
I like your style man!
What kind of glue are you using and is it safe to eat?
Probably not a good idea to eat any kind of glue. Just putting it out there!
Nice job
The boards were looking good until you ruined them with feet also made them non reversible.
Great vid but PLEASE use a splitting knife on your table saw. It may save your fingers.
Riving knife
Nice tools 👍🏼
Sorry bud, this gave me the chuckles... I teach this as a first project, we are not impressed. There is no professional grade wood cutting board, here or anywhere else, you cheapen good work by others when you puff yourself up.
I will sell it as "professional grade" to the market because it is thicker material and has the awesome silicone bumpers. sorry but I disagree... the feet do add a higher level a function and this should add value to any cutting board
@@hffcombelow is a recent Facebook posting of mine,text only because it wouldn't put up the pictures. I was not downgrading your work, I simply state that a professional grade wood cutting board does not exist.... for good reasons that I hope I don't have to state....
And that by the very wording, you made it sound like others are doing less in quality and function.
Belief in yourself and your product are a first tier selling point along with fit and finish.
I'm glad that you have a market, you are well set up and you do good work... but I have taught many whose work is top notch.
I do not often sell anything, if you bother reading further you will get why.
Again I'm not belittling your work, just the advertising.
THE MAKER'S RANT.
You see us in our garages or small work spaces, some of us are even lucky enough to have shops.
You see the things that we make and compliment our work. Some of us make large things, some of us work with small things and still others make both. We all make tools, jigs and fixtures because we need them to do certain tasks. We all buy tools to make the things that we produce and these tools cost. When I look at my tools I not only appreciate what they can do for me, I think about that cost. Even me, a small hobby maker of many things out of different materials can acquire 10's of thousands of dollars worth of tools... do you get where I'm going? Making costs!
It's time, tools, materials, maintenance and electricity. Most of all it is skill and craftsmanship because without those two things, you might as well let a youngster loose with a dull hatchet and watch the mayhem.
That cutting board, the one you liked but didn't buy, the pretty one with multiple kinds of wood, the one that would be perfect for your kitchen... You didn't want to pay the price, it was to much. It wasn't worth it??? Even some of the simplest cutting boards take up to 15 hours to complete and when you don't have the "big" tools even longer.
That lady that makes the best smelling goat's milk soap, the stuff you loved but didn't buy.
What about her time and materials and her skill?
That guy that makes the best fire pits, the guy that cuts rocks and minerals. The guy with the forge that makes any number of things with skill, sweat and the knowledge... what is their time worth, or their knowledge.
So, the kid that flips burgers for 10 to 15 dollars an hour, his time is worth more than that maker's... I say this for your perspective...
At that wage rate that 15 hour cutting board, that was at minimum $150.00 dollars and more if everything else is added. You not only have time but the cost of the tools and and materials, some of that wood is extremely expensive.
So, here are the DON'TS.
Don't look us in the eye and tell us that what we produced is outrageously expensive, actually, most of us are fairly conservative in pricing.
Don't tell us that you could make it for less because we'll invite you to do so.
Don't try to haggle with a top notch maker, it insults us.
Don't order a one off item and complain about the cost of materials or time for the item.
Don't complain about the lead time for one off items.
(I'm building a bed for myself and the wood will sit for the next year before the first cut is made! The wood isn't even that exotic and it would cost you over a thousand dollars and that is rough sawn.)
AND HERE IS THE SPANKING.
How dare you think that we don't have real jobs and families to feed and bills to pay!
Every time we make something, it takes from someone or something else, especially if we are selling our products. We expect a return on our investment and time and for some the sacrifice.
I'm a hobbyist... but I know so many that are trying to make ends meet. They make the stuff that you want, pay them for it and appreciate and be aware of the hidden costs that go into the product. The term "cottage industry" wasn't coined because we could stay home and make money, it was because we couldn't make enough at work to survive decently.
I have had my rant, it goes much deeper than what you've read here. I rarely make things to sell because of the very things that I have said here. I will just make things for myself, my friends and my family. In this way I will never be disappointed by the people who downgrade my work by money they offer or the complaints they make about the cost.
I have yet one more night of gifts to make for the year, I call this "ELFING". With any luck, those gifts will be well received. The one thing I never get by doing my making in this fashion...
Is complaints.
PS.
To the lady that paid for the ornaments, this "rant" is not about you! It was about a guy that put a lot of work into a project just to have the customer try to make him cut his price after the agreement was made and the project was completed.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.
@@vaughntaylor7638 jealous much?!?! Show some respect for good work.
@@SonOfPatriots nothing to be jealous of. I can teach a complete novice to do this and in a few hours and they would have a marketable product.
My comment was to the
"professional grade" self promotional statement.
Are you going to tell me that he is better than The Slovenian woodworker, Matt Cremora, April Wilkerson, Frank Harworth, Mandy Glover or Darbin Orvar? I myself build mostly tools, furniture, cabinetry, turnings and other things... I do make the occasional cutting board for family but it is rare. The thing is I don't belittle the work of others while over promoting my product. It's a number of cuts, some flattening and squaring, gluing and finishing and nothing more. I'm glad he has a market, I'm glad he has a maker's mark, im glad he has some success but he is no better than anyone else in that market. They are quick, simple and mindless products that generate revenue...
That's all, nothing more.
So no, im not jealous, I have my set of talents and he has his and the two have nothing in common.
I'm a Steamfitter, with a background in engineering. I'm just one of the many talented people that build power plants, oil refineries, computer chip factories, biotech facilities and all the way down to pulp and paper manufacturies... as I said, my skill set is different but truly diverse.
So, as a side, my family has owned stair case manufacturing facilities, furniture factories, speaker factories for Kenwood and Pioneer and a verner factory... I might just know what I'm talking about.
If you were looking for an angry response, sorry, I see nothing to be angry over or about but thank you for giving me a chance to clarify my previous comments.
The irony is that it is you who sound puffed up with your "I teach this" and "I know all about this" lecturing and your morally superior soap-box attitude. Put your message ("this is easy work") into the mouth of one of the people coming up to me at my stall in the market, and you sound exactly like those you criticise (rightly, though quite sanctimoniously) in your rant.
Why didn't you raise the grain before applying the oil. Not very professional.
because its not end grain
@@Runslik3Wind doesn't need to be end grain LOL you're not a woodworker I take it.
Professional boards have juice groves.
