I wanted to thank you for all your videos. I have many projects finished thanks to your videos. I’m just finishing my first two end grain brick boards. In the mineral oil now. Also, I’m so impressed how you fit everything in such a small space. I get my comments on my garage and how I set up all my machine and tools. I always reference your setup. Thanks for everything, I really do appreciate it.
WOW! Ive never seen brick pattern boards and I’ve got to say they are the best looking boards out there!
Appreciate that!
Just finding your channel, love what you’re doing!
That sander was my first major purchase when I started refinishing furniture. At the time almost 400 with the warranty. I love that thing. I got light headed when I hit the “buy now” button. Since getting into the building side of things I don’t even blink at that now
I'm jus starting off my crafting journey. So glad I found your channel 👌. Super talented at what you do 🤙
These look amazing!! Definitely my new favorite cutting board design :) nice work
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the great video! Very thorough!
You need to make more videos my friend. I've watched them all and am left wanting more.
😆 So appreciate that! Hopefully have a couple more coming soonish.
Great looking boards! Making four of these for Christmas. Thanks for the tips.
Awesome! Have fun!
Great board. Love it man. Killer content on here and everything you've been posting on instagram as well.
Appreciate it!
just found this channel and just subscribed as well. those boards look AMAZING, you're a great craftsman. I'm in the process of watching every video you have, catch you on the next one!
Thank you so much!
Great video, thanks. I was looking for something lean and to the point. Lots of good practical info as well. Cheers
Appreciate it!
That's very neat patterns! I like them a lot!
Thank you!
Parabéns seus trabalhos sao lindos
I really love you work ❤️
Thanks for sharing
Great video man, the boards are wicked cool!
Thank you!
Awesome video! Keep it coming!!
Appreciate it! Working on getting some more out soon!
I literally watched your video atleast 8 times. so much valuable information. Awesome work!
Ok but did you make one?
Wow really awesome. I’ve seen pictures on your insta but it was nice to see a full video. Great work.
Appreciate that!
Great job explaining everything thank you
Appreciate that!
Thank you, the knowledge and it's presentation are very helpful
Appreciate it!
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
Keep up the good work man! I just made my first brick pattern end grain (thankfully have a friend with a drum sander) I did a 1/2 inch mortar, looks a tad "chunky". Good tip on the 3/8-1/4
Thanks! They sure are fun!
Beautiful boards, gained a subscriber for the Seahawks hat!...Go Hawks!
Very cool! You do good work! :)
Thanks!
Awesome work!!! Nice hat too!!! Go Hawks!!!
Thank you! Go Hawks!
Beautiful work mate
Appreciate it!
awesome video! Thank you for the tips. #20 after the oil drys works perfect! I clicked your link to get the Bosch sander but I think its discontinued. Your finish is perfect on your boards and I am struggling to get that finish..Any more tips? How many times do you saturate the board with mineral oil? Is there a specific brand of mineral oil you recommend? Just that once then let it drip dry? Thanks again for the tips.
Love it
Thanks!
Had no choice,had to sub. Great job,very well explained.
awesome work. What are the dimension of the boards you bought? They seem like 2x.
That Bosch Turbo sander. Does the vac start an stop like the Festool and Mirka do?
Por favor continue postando mais vídeos para nós ensinar, mais vídeos , mais vídeos, mais vídeos por favor
I will try! A few more coming in the next few weeks. Thank you!
Just did my first end grain board (black walnut and hickory - it was what I Had left over from a cabinet I made.) . Question: Of course the adhesive (Tite Bond III) wants to really suck into fibers which I fear will block out the mineral oil. I started the pieces at 1.625 knowing I would be "sanding down" to 1.5" Don't have a drum sander so using belt sander knowing I will go to random orbital at some point. (Taking a long time to reduce I think because the hickory is incredibly hard) Do you think the reduction to 1.5 from 1.625 will avoid the mineral oil not getting blocked out by adhesive? Maybe my fear is not founded. Your help / thought please.
Beautiful boards. I watch a lot of wood working videos. People always make it look easy. But I seem to make at least one mistake!! Just finishing up my first end grain cutting board for a Christmas present 🎁. One big problem I had was getting it flat!! I do have a drum sander. My board had a twist in it. 🤨. For some reason my brain didn't ingage and it just compounded the twist. Once my brain did ingage I put it on a sled and shimed it. But I lost 3/8 off the thickness, BUMMER!!! LESSON LEARNED I GUESS. And being self taught I've had a lot of lessons!!! 🤣🤣.
Totally get that! My first end grain board I had to flatten with a router sled and lost about the same in thickness. Definitely lots of lessons encountered with trial and error.
on the boards where the pattern is lengthwise instead of widthwise, how do you glue up the first panel?
about how many board feet of lumber did you use for the cutting boars?
Great stuff! I'm going to attempt one of these soon! Thanks for the tips!
Awesome! They’re pretty fun!
I am a decent woodworker yet have never made an end grain board, starting my first this weekend. I have probably watched no less than 75 videos on here about them. You are the only one that mentions alternating grains being catastrophic. Can you clarify? Were you just referring to the “mortar” strips in between the bricks? I have been watching some pretty professional woodworkers on here who don’t worry about that? I’m curious if I’m not understanding your intended message. Thanks.
Hey, i am new to wood working and have a question: At the beginning of the video you said, that everyting ist endgrain. But the walnut-stripes you clued on after aren't end-grain, are they?
You make awsome lookin boards ,good job ,if you don't mind me asking where did you get your little containers for your wax you give with your boards
Thanks! Loads of options and sizes on Amazon. Here’s the primary size I use: amzn.to/3fNTquY
How big do you make the brickboards.
Beutyful work
You could also use a card/cabinet scraper after the first oil soak.
Good tip
Hey great video. I've made 1 board with walnut and maple and the walnut "bled" into the maple when I applied the mineral oil making the maple look darker with less contrast to the walnut. Do you have that problem or any tips on how to avoid it?
I’ve experienced that with Padauk and Maple. Maple can get darker than you’d expect for end grain sometimes. Sorry I don’t have any tips to fix it.
Hi, great work, thank you. What make and model is your table saw?
Thanks! It’s the DeWalt 7491RS. Love it. It’s the one with a wider fence capacity and can support about 7/8” of a dado stack. It’s listed in the Tools and Supplies list on this link: www.amazon.com/shop/6_8woodworks?ref=inf_pub_6_8woodworks
Good job. I’m italian, i don ‘t understand why you wash with water before. Thanks
I noticed you wear your ball cap revered. I worked for WA State Department of Natural Resources training inmates to mill lumber and build picnic tables for DNR and State Parks plus cabinet making. The crews were not allowed to wear their hats that way because of gang temperaments.
Do you think that Bosch sander one turbo mode would work in place of a drum sander until I could afford one?
You bet! Like I said in the video with the belt sander, it will be just be a little bit more time consuming to make sure it’s flat. If you have a great glue up without too many ridges, shouldn’t be too bad. Personally, I always have some high and low spots. So I might start with some 60 or even 40 grit to speed it up at the beginning and then switch to 80 as you’re getting closer.
hi wicked boards , you make it look so easy guess i will find out soon enough . what size bosch orbital sander are you using i cant make my mind up
Thanks. I went with the 5” for same size paper with my my smaller one. But the 6” is great, especially if you plan on a lot of table tops or furniture.
@@SixEightWoodworks would the bosch 6" be ok for the cutting boards or is it to big i also plan on getting a 5" dewalt
If I had a dollar for every time he reminds us he bought a drum sander, I could buy my own drum sander.
If I just do a checkerboard can I use the planer to flatten it after the second glue-up? You said it was sketch, are you worried that it can break the sections apart?
Thanks :)
All end grain is extremely high risk for not just tear out but can do a lot of damage to your planer
What are your bricks 2in?
Awesome video! What is your wax recipe? Thanks again!
Thanks! About 2 oz of beeswax to 1 cup mineral oil.
another video said use the fence for safety im confused
I was thinking of making a brick pattern using edge grain. I am limited on tools and large wood stock. What do ya think???
I’ve seen others do it. Many I’ve talked to often have the board fail and crack because of cross directional wood movement. Highly recommend sticking with end grain if you’re going for the more unique patterns.
Great video...just subbed! How are you doing your own wax mixture? I know you're using food safe beeswax mixed with mineral oil. Just curious of your process. Thanks!
Still refining the process. I use about 2 ounces of the beeswax to 1 cup of Mineral Oil. Here’s a quick look at how I do it: instagram.com/tv/CBjJtePjtwf/?igshid=7gw1keud2t3i

@@SixEightWoodworks thanks for the quick reply! That helps a lot!
Where do you get that Green distancejigg you use on the tablasaw
Great unit! Here’s the link: amzn.to/3u4n7vY
@@SixEightWoodworks tnx bro
what drum sander do you have?
I have the Supermax 19-38
Which oil do you use.shanks
Mineral Oil
Im curious, what does the 6:8 mean?
Thanks for asking! I explain it here on our website: www.sixeightwoodworks.com/new-pag
Can you explain what you mean by not using the table fence and why that's safer please? 3:07
You bet. Using just the fence solely should most always be used for rip cuts and not cross cuts. For cross cuts I add a 1/4” block to give some clearance (then account for that with the fence measurement. If you ride the fence directly for a crosscut, you are extremely likely to have a kickback. Some exceptions include plywood, if you’re pushing between the blade and fence. Also dado cuts, where you’re or fully cutting the board. I’m pretty sure Steve Ramsey over at Woodworking for Mere Mortals has some table saw safety tips that show this more clearly. Highly recommend watching that!
This video kind of addresses it at 6:45 ruclips.net/video/91v0Yg1L4ok/видео.html
@@SixEightWoodworks thanks!
@@SixEightWoodworks Thanks so much for sharing that, that explains it perfectly!
What type of wood is black? Or at least it looks black in the video
That’s Black Walnut. Favorite wood species!
What have you found as the most pleasing size of your brick board cutting boards?
About 12x18. At least 1 1/2” thick. Those are my go-to dimensions
If you dont mind me asking, what price do you sell these for?
These range about $200-$250, depending on size and species used.
@@SixEightWoodworks Oh wow, I was thinking like $80 - $100 dollars. Thats a good profit. Ive been looking at getting into making these to sell but have never done it before. So trying to learn as much as I can before I get started.
Loads of variables for sure. Waited a few years before getting into sales. Slowly developed a local customer base and then used social media to expand a client base with the website. Is enough to fund the hobby and am able to donate to quite a few charities.
cuttingboarddesigner.com is great for designing boards like this and doing all the math for you
This be done without using endgrain? Using walnut and hickory
Walnut and hickory would look awesome. But you really need to do all end grain. Crossing grain directions would cause the board to split at some point.
@@SixEightWoodworks yea i guess it would be difficult to find a board that is 13-15 wide for the mortar part
Go Hawks.
Where can i buy one?
Thanks for the interest. Will be a while before I have some available again.
Do you experience cupping ever with your end grain boards?
I have when I’ve added too much water while raising the grain in the summer. Important to not go too heavy and let it slowly dry. After it’s a finished board, really important it regularly gets wax. End grain absorbs water and dries out much quicker, so needs to be sealed well.
These are really good boards. I used to make these along with segmented turning bowls and vessels but when the economy tanked nobody wanted to spend money even for heirloom quality wooden pieces
Excellent work. I may use this idea one day in the future. Definitely subscribed.
One criticism of the video (not trying to take away from your work, just trying to help you gain more interest from people because you deserve it), you say "Uhh" and "uhm" an awful lot. It was distracting to me. Could also be because I had it sped up to 1.5x normal speed so the instances were a lot closer together.
Really hope that came off the way I intended.
Yes, I’m well aware of it as it’s been a lifelong habit. Always working on it. 😁 Thanks for the feedback.
@@SixEightWoodworks damn now I feel like an ass.
I had the same issue when I was younger. I don't remember how I got over it. It sucked though, everyone would point it out to me.
I'm sure I still do it when I'm nervous tho.
No worries! Yeah, it is what it is. Always working on it with plenty of takes for videos. 😆 No offense taken!
Do you notice that the yellow beeswax slightly changes the color of your boards ?
I haven’t encountered that.
I use a white organic beeswax beads and it doesn’t turn light woods like maple and ash yellow. I found the white beeswax beads on Amazon. Give it a try.
What oil did you use? I'm from Russia. I don't understand your language. Just write what kind of oil
Mineral oil

The subtitles have nothing to do with the video.
You said uh or um 25 times in under 2 minutes. 10 times in the intro alone. Might be better idea to write a script for your audio.
