I love these kind of videos, I wish people would post more of these kinds of videos, because it helps others to learn the mistakes. Thank you so much for posting this video.
Ah, the Rockler clamps. Yeah, those are pretty cool. They can be a pain in the a** sometimes but it's better than fighting with cauls in my opinion. Unfortunately they come with a pretty price tag but what doesn't these days.
Simple, but it looks amazing! I think I may make my first board now! It definitely looks like an easy pattern to make. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent.
Great step by step video. I'm making my first endgrain cutting board. I have a flattening jig, no drum sander yet. Will go through the steps to flatten the board. Should come out looking good. Fingers crossed!! 🙏🙏🙏
Glad it was helpful! The flattening jig should work fine. It'll be a little harder to creep up on the thickness but once it's close you can just take few really light passes until it's there. Good luck!
@LuisEzequielDeLuca I don't recommend running end grain through the planer. Best case, it can cause tear out, and in some cases it can catch an edge causing the whole board to explode. There are people who claim they do it all the time and never had a problem, but why chance it? If I didn't have this, I'd use a router sled to flatten it.
Honestly, I don’t catch it at the time and had to go back and look again. I put a piece in wrong on a different patterned board. It was 4 rows of 4 “S” looking columns with columns 1 and 3 facing opposite of 2 and 4. Didn’t catch it for a while. Left it cause I didn’t have another piece and it was longways, so would have been tougher take remake. So it looked like 2 columns of S’s down the middle of it with opposing ones down the sides. I ended up selling it to my hair cutter gal and just so happened that her name is Stephanie, so almost like it was meant to be.🤭. Anyway, great video with or without the mistake fixing. Nice that you had the extra piece, but then again if you hadn’t had an extra one and used the original, you could have shown how to make a slightly smaller piece work.😅
If I hadn't had the extra piece I would have left the slightly shorter piece in that I ended up putting back in anyway. LOL. It all worked out in the end. Sounds like yours did too. She probably thought it was made just for her!
I love showing my mistakes honestly. It helps me to deal with them if I can turn it into a teaching moment. After I cut out the footage of all the cussing of course. LOL
I agree. To be a “real” woodworker you need to be able to fix (and learn from) your mistakes…and you showing us amortizes that pain. Liked. SUBSCRIBED.
Very nice work! Can I ask about your drum sander, did you do a lot of homework before purchasing that particular one? Likes \dislikes about it versus other brands.
I've had it for about a year and it was down to the Jet and the SuperMax. At that time, Jet has updated theirs since, the SuperMax had several features that the Jet didn't for about the same price. Now they both have the automatic speed adjustment, INTELISAND as they call it. But the SuperMax still wins with a digital depth gauge, better sanding belt clamps that are easier to use, quick adjustment for wider stock to name a few. My Dad actually just bought the Jet and after seeing it in action I'd still go with the SuperMax. It's a nice machine but still missing some details in my opinion. Of course budget was a consideration too but if it weren't I'd go bigger. The 16-32 has worked for me and I've even done some countertops in two passes but it would be nice to have more width in some situations. Hope that helps.
@@EvolutionWoodworks that really does help a lot. Grizzly was having a sale recently and I have one of there jointers and am basically happy with it but I feel like I still need to do some homework when it comes to drum sanders. A big thumbs up again on your videos, very informative, good paced and well edited. It must be a lot of work. I’m sure you will be successful.
IDK what Grizzly is like these days but years ago they were pretty weak on the details. My Dad and my uncle had a bunch of them and they worked but always seemed to be missing parts or hard to get adjusted perfectly. We lived an hour from the warehouse so it was easy to get but I always felt they left a lot to be desired. Again, that was 20+ years ago. Things may have changed but I never even consider them after that. Thanks for the compliments. It's a second channel for me so I have some experience but in a completely different genre. That channel never really made any headway and I've sort of left it to die but I at least got some experience and a pile of equipment to use here. I just have to keep coming up with new things to build and ways to keep it interesting. Stay tuned!
Do you find you get a lot of snipe with your planer? I picked up that same Dewalt planer when one went on clearance at my local Lowe's but I've found I get pretty significant snipe on the infeed, I've tried leveling the infeed/outfeed tables but I can't seem to eliminate the snipe. Love your content, your videos recently came up in my suggested videos feed and I've been watching through all of your previous videos since.
@iguanahotsauce I used to get that if I didn't support the board enough. I find if you lift up on the back end a bit while the first few inches feed in and again for the last few inches, it minimizes it. Having the in and out feed rollers on this stand seems to help too. And don't forget to lock the cutter head after every adjustment. Thanks for watching!
Try putting two or three dimes in the center of the planner and then placing a a long straight edge on the dimes. Then level your infeed/outfeed tables. This is what dewalt support had me do and while it won't eliminate snip it does help reduce it.
@@douggroves1812 Basically using the infeed table to hold up on board. I have mine set up similar but on longer boards putting some pressure on it still seems to work the best so the end going in doesn't try to lift up against guide rollers before it hits the blade.
Looks like the expensive Rockler panel clamps don't do such a good job of keeping all the pieces flat.... I see you had to go back to the drum sander to get both sides flat Kudos to show the booboo and how you fixed it. None of us is perfect -- I've done the same. Measure twice - look twice.
@unclebob8746 they work pretty good within reason. This was my screw up on the table saw making one piece thinner than than the rest by a hair then trying to replace it when I knew it was going to get sanded anyway. Should have just left it in there.

@@shirazdin7919 Thank you. I'll keep posting them if you keep watching. 😉
Great job - I appreciate you including the error, and how well you handled (and fixed) the mistake.
We all make mistakes. I figure it's a good way to show the reality of woodworking. Luckily this one was an easy fix.
Beautiful board---and can we talk about those clamps?!?!?! Thanks for posting that link.
Thank you! Which clamps do you want to talk about?
@@EvolutionWoodworks The ones at 2:36. I think you put a link to them?

@@EvolutionWoodworks Thank you! I'm sure your cutting board comes with a nice price tag too ;) At least I hope it does---very fine work!
That looks fantastic! Great work, Keep em coming! 👏🏽

@4legdfishman It was much easier than I thought for as cool as it looks. Definitely a good place to start. Good luck!

Would running it on the planner be the same as the drum sander?

What kind of clamp is that you used seems to keep everything flat better then bar clamps

Thanks for showing your mistake and how you fixed it, it's like every other woodworker... you are going to make a mistake and how can you fix it.

Can i ask where you got that vertical rack you put them in?
It's a dish rack from Amazon. amzn.to/4ggLcs7
It's good for about 1-1/4" but I'm going to have to do something else as I make thicker boards.
