This was a fun build and it's actually going to stay in my kitchen and get put to good use. So what do you think? Does my cutting board match my carpet?
I guess you know what I watched on Sundays in the 80's and 90's. And don't forget to wear these, safety glasses. (and remove all guards for photographic clarity) LOL.
Love the pattern. Have made some like this in the past. If you look at videos from people like Robert White “ 10 years ago “ you’ll see a completely different way to build a board like this without all of the alignment issues. Still. Nice pattern
It is definitely nice to have. It took me 25 years to get here though. I built a lot of cabinets in one half of an unconditioned two car garage with no dust collection. Before that in a shed with almost no tools. We all make due with what we have. Keep working at it.
The best part is very few of the tools he has would be considered expensive in relative terms which is pretty awesome. And the ones that are more expensive are nice to have not really needed.
Thanks for the video! Question: what type of maple do you use that's so clear? My hardwood supply is very mixed bag, but rarely is the maple i use that clear and clean.
It was a face/edge grain board at that point. Cutting it into strips, turning them on end and gluing it back together is how it becomes an end grain board.
If purchasing the plans for this how difficult would it be to scale up the dimensions to be say 18x24x2? Any insight on how to adjust cut list for that?
You'll need to figure out how many extra pieces to add in the middle section to get the length and width you want. Also you may want to upscale the stripes a bit too keep the proportions correct. If you have thicker stock to start with you can adjust the size that way too. The basic formula is (Finished cutting board length / Material thickness) x Finished cutting board thickness + (Saw blade kerf x Number of pieces) = Total lumber length needed. You'll need to figure it out for each section based on the size you want it to be and add in for waste and sanding.
Not sure I follow you on that. Are you talking about the cutting board or the rough lumber? I never send a cutting board through the planer. Especially end grain.
@jeffjames1567 If the board is relatively flat to start with, I don't do that. Generally, I would only hit the jointer with small pieces that have to be perfectly flat, but even then, I'd rough plane it first and cut it down closer to final size to fit the 6" jointer.

this turned out awesome! i love finding inspiration in every day stuff like a rug.
@@chrisgenovese8188 It's been right under my nose for years!
i really liked the "how it's made" part - good job norm.

Looks great! I know I keep telling myself that I have to make one. Who knows? Maybe someday I will. Thanks for sharing your talents!
@@4legdfishman No time like the present!
What a great design and looks fantastic in the end. Thanks for sharing!
@@gdelohi1 Thank you!
It must be nice to have a workshop full of equipment like yours with lots of room and dust extraction.

Ignorant comment. Work = reward. Try it some time instead of projecting your inadequacies and jealousy on others.
@@garyblessing2253this is so true
Well done sir
Thanks!
The pattern looks more complicated than how you demonstrate it. Great job on simplifying the concept on how to do a great board.
@@mdproductions3387 Thank you!

@abluishgray2244 In that board, it's definitely soft maple. I believe silver maple, but I'm not 100% sure.
Awesome build, but I missed something. Why at 5.27 did you cut the whole board in to strips and then glue it back together?
It was a face/edge grain board at that point. Cutting it into strips, turning them on end and gluing it back together is how it becomes an end grain board.
Ok. I get it. Great build. Thanks
@jimwalsh6453 No problem. 👍
Nice work. Just wondering where did you get those blue wood clamps from
@@franktardona6937 Rockler
Where did you get the drying board? Just what I need!
Here's a link to the one I have. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BRMV0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Beautiful board! I wish you had shown exactly how you got that pattern in the corner. Looks like you just flipped every other piece.
Thanks! I go into a little more detail in the plans. www.evowoodworks.com/products/diy-plans-four-corners-end-grain-cutting-board?ToPasteBoard&

well done!...you are not concerned about not planing a flat board (you sent the board in rough)
Not sure I follow you on that. Are you talking about the cutting board or the rough lumber? I never send a cutting board through the planer. Especially end grain.
I believe he is talking about the rough lumber. Typically one would flatten one face at the jointer before planing the other side to thickness.
@jeffjames1567 If the board is relatively flat to start with, I don't do that. Generally, I would only hit the jointer with small pieces that have to be perfectly flat, but even then, I'd rough plane it first and cut it down closer to final size to fit the 6" jointer.
