Me and my dad used to make kid sized rocking chairs every Christmas for like 10 years to leave on people's doorsteps in our neighborhood and other people who had kids. We started in July and averaged 50 plus every year. One of my favorite parts was driving around in the truck and running the chairs to the door steps, knocking, and running. We almost never got sighted so we were able to do this secretly for a very long time. My father is now suffering from dementia so this video really hot home for me.

The 5 day one is endgrain - so won't mark up as much as the other versions. Imagine holding a handful of spaghetti, and cutting it with a knife. when you cut it on the flat/long/horizontal side, there's a lot of resistance. If you push the knife in the "end" where all the ends of spaghetti meet, the knife will fall through the bits of spaghetti. Same on an end grain cutting board but on a microscopic level - it'll take years for any "bad" scratches to build up.
@@TheMerce101 Completely agree - but as a consumer, would you want to be replacing your board every few weeks(if you want it pristine) or few months with normal use to totally ruin it, bits of wood flaking off in your food, and importantly DULLING YOUR KNIVES etc, or would you want a board that after several years of heavy use there's not a mark on it, saving you £100's on knive sharpening(or many hours if you do it yourself) for 10x the price? I know which one i'd want!
La de 5 minutos la usaría todo el tiempo, la de 5 horas solo cuando hay visitas y la de 5 dias sería solo para admirarla colgada en la pared como lo que es, una obra de arte!!!!
Everybody talking about the 5 minute and the 5 day cutting boards, while im sitting here thinking about how much i love the 5 hour one. With the stripe off-set and the different wood on the one side. The esthetics are amazing!! ☝🏽🧔🏾♂️
Honestly yes. Of the three in the thumbnail, I'd want to buy that one most. It has the perfect balance of form, aesthetic, and simplicity. The kind where I'd be proud of and comfortable with using it in case I slice any grooves into it.
Out of probably every build and video you have ever done, I have no idea why but I like the 5 hour cutting board more than anything else I have seen. Just sheer beauty!
This! I admire the craftsmanship but a cutting board straight from a slap has something really beautiful. I wonder how much it will warm with moisture though.
I can absolutely appreciate the effort that went in to the 5 hr and 5 day boards. But I would definitely choose the 5 minute board. It has a rustic appeal that I cannot resist.
@@jaadmaan8156without damaging it LOL it's a cutting board😂. It's literally there to get damaged😂. Would you really want to put epoxy or resin or some other s*** on a cutting boards ? Cuz that's going to get into your food
@@ClaytonBigsby01 He didn't say anything about the finish. End grain avoids damage much more easily because you're not slicing the grain. That's why all the fancy ones are end grain. Which also prevents some bacteria build up as it stays flat and without cavity
I appreciate you showing all the screw ups. I watch videos and people make amazing stuff and it's all perfect first try and then I make stuff at home and half the time I'm like "what is wrong with my brain?" because I keep making little errors with a measurement or a cut or something. It's nice to see the honesty that mess ups are a natural part of woodworking even for someone who's a legit pro.
The five minute board was actually the most amazing. I was vicariously exhausted just watching you fly around your shop trying to get that one finished.
I made a wooden shelf from 3/8” redwood in junior high school and I had a piece big enough for a trivet left over. A few minutes with a wire brush and belt sander and I brought it home. The shelf went by the wayside a few years later, but my mom used that simple trivet for many years (my dad even reglued it when it split), and it was one of a few things I brought home when it was time to clean out my parents house. Sometimes the simple things are the best.
Thank you so much for messing up in your thought process and execution and then adapting/fixing on the fly. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one this happens to.
5 hr board for the win. The 5 day one is definitely impressive but it gives me a headache, whereas the 5 hr one is beautiful in it's simplicity - an aesthetic I would have in my home.
That 5 day board is absolutely gorgeous! No idea how you were able to puzzle that out because it looks like it was a hell of a mind bender to construct!
Really liked this video, showing the flaws and the process for correcting them is not only more entertaining, but also more instructive. Love the boards, too!
Hands down, best crafting video ever. As someone who's been crafting for more than 30 years, I was very impressed. The craftsmanship, the creativeness when making Mistake, the final result, very entertaining and well executed. Well done sir!
I like the idea of altering the pattern combination on the 5-day board. It breaks the monolithic look and provides extra depth and variety. Utterly bad ass. WELL DONE, M'DUDE!
There's such an amazing depth in the 5day board because of how some of the more shaded colored squares look like they're layered under the brighter colored wood square patterns
Having the space to have every tool set up and ready to use would be such a luxury. I'm in a small space (about half of a 1-car garage) and at least half my time is spent moving things out of the way so I can work on the next step
There's a lot to be said for the skill to do the 5 min board that I think gets over looked. Whilst the 5 day is craftsmanship, the 5 min is impressive time & work-space management skills. Respect for all three.
The 5-minute cutting board is only possible here because he has access to an amazing set of tools. You can't do it that quick without a power planer. I don't have one (nor the space for one), so I would have to hand plane, and that's gonna take a while. Of course, you also need the experience to figure out EXACTLY what you need to do and to not fuck it up.
Just so everyone knows (some of you probably already do): Glue doesn’t need to be clamped all the way until the squeeze-out is dry. It needs to be clamped until the glue is set (that’s different for every brand of glue). You could get the workpiece out of the clamps by then but can’t put lots of pressure/stress on it yet. So if you need the clamps for something else (because you always need more clamps), you could get it out faster and let it harden. (I live in Belgium and have always done it this way.)
John, the woven cutting board was absolutely gorgeous! I even got my 18 year-old son to watch the whole video with me! Thanks for making not only the beautiful cutting board but a moment that I hope son will remember later on when video games anen't his whole world.
I like this 5-5-5 format. It's quite a challenge. Here are 3 suggestions for future videos: A child's toy, a Xmas ornament for the tree, and gaming equipment. My choice for a 5-minute toy would be a rattleback made on a belt sander. For games it would be 2 dice, a backgammon board, and a complete chess set). What would you do?
I'd use all of them with no hesitation. The 5-minute one I'd use for camping/lake days..5-hour one for every day and the 5-day for company for the presentation.
Hey John my name is Todd. I’m 45, I have one leg, one arm and I have a rare skin disorder called “Epidermolysis Bullosa .” I watch a lot of RUclips videos and I love watching your channel. I’m really wanting to make my own table, but I have very little wood working experience. John, you do amazing work. If you have an old lathe, or if you do a give away soon, I would love to get my hands on a really good lathe. Also, a plainer and a router. Can you recommend the best brands. Thanks John!
I like the 5 minute and 5 day ones best. The 5 min one is the one that I would happily use every day, the 5 day one is the most aesthetically pleasing one but I would use it only for special occasions, as a serving board.
The 5 hour board is my favorite. I just love dainty things, and that one stripe is so dainty and beautiful. I also love the round shape. Of course, the 5 day board is stunning and is a work of art.
My father who is unfortunately suffering from dementia, is a master wood worker. This video reminds me of how much joy woodworking brought to him. Thank you for showing us your skill and joy of working in the shop.
Also, my dad could have sold these chairs for probably $300 to $500 at the time. I'm proud to say he never sold a single chair, they were all meant to bring joy to the families who received them.
Sorry but I gotta share this. On at least 2 separate occasions my dad had a mishap and unfortunately split his thumb on the table saw. The first time he did this it took him about an hour to stop working due to his focus and his lack of feeling in his fingers due to having diabetes. He finally stopped working and cane inside only because the blood kept getting through the bandage and was getting on his wood. That and he knew my mom would be upset to find out he cut himself. Needless to say, he would get in trouble if he didn't check in to my mom periodically to prove he was okay.
I love them all! When all 3 cutting boards were sitting there together the 5 day cutting board looked like it was a wrapped present. It looked like fancy wrapping paper from a distance. Amazing!!
This is seriously one of the best things I’ve watched in a while. Seeing pieces of wood transformed into that five hour board was mesmerizing. Great work. Love it!
Wow! The 5-day is the most intricate and beautiful cutting board I've ever seen. Amazing mathematical and 3-dimensional thinking and execution. God bless you.
I dont know but something looks off with the 5 day one at the close up at 33:33. Looks to me that the bottom part is turn the wrong way, To me something looks off witht that second from the bottom to. You can see the clear line through the board. On the top half ithe lines dieappear better. Perhaps it is just the camera angle. But it looks very nice.
He said he was having trouble matching the corners perfectly so I bet he just made a design call. I think it looks like mountains on the bottom half there. Very cool
It does looks a bit off, probably due to grain direction. But it is the only part that is actually weaving. The top part is just squares on top of square .
C'est ce que j'ai remarqué aussi. Quand on regarde bien, elle est posé dans le mauvais sens. Une rotation à 180°. Dommage car on ne voit que ça. Sur un tel motif, l'erreur ne pardonne pas.
0:16 WOW, your wife is gorgeous! You have 2 fun channels that I found a month ago. I subscribed immediately after watching you guys unbox a Lowe's return pallet. I don't do any woodworking, I would never try any of it. I took woodshop in 7th grade and built a porch swing that my dad NEVER used. I got an "A" for my swing too. It was nice. that was 35 years ago.
Sounds like you're still jilted your dad never used the swing😂 maybe because he was out working and trying to provide for you. Sounds like he was also a single father
Amazing. Makes me miss my wood working hobby. I like the 5 min and 5 day the best. The 5 min one is beautiful because of its natural form. With the 5 day one it's hard to believe it's even wood. So, obviously the 5 day one is the challenge that brought out the amazing out of nature. Greetings from Finland.
I made an edge-glued hickory cutting board. It is more of a butcher block than a cutting board because I keep it next to my stove and it covers virtually the entire side counter. It cost $15 for the wood, just a single 1x6x4’ board. For the steaks I cut on it, it works great. It leaves a slight hickory taste too.
That 5-Day cutting board is _too_ nice. Whose going to cut anything on that? Plus, hundreds of dollars for that work of art you prop up against a kitchen wall and just enjoy looking at it. Maybe.... maybe use it as a serving tray? I can see the two other cutting boards being used though. And yes, Etsy has some sweet custom cutting boards.
The 5 day one is endgrain - so won't mark up as much as the other versions. Imagine holding a handful of spaghetti, and cutting it with a knife. when you cut it on the flat/long/horizontal side, there's a lot of resistance. If you push the knife in the "end" where all the ends of spaghetti meet, the knife will fall through the bits of spaghetti. Same on an end grain cutting board but on a microscopic level - it'll take years for any "bad" scratches to build up.
@@headleshydra scratches from years of daily use would just make it more beautiful anyway, not less. It's a hell of a board, but to not use it would be a tragic waste
Perfect charcuterie board imo... for those who can still afford the ham and cheese to go on it after shelling out the hundreds of dollars that the board should deservedly be priced at.
Love the style of video. Love it love it love it. Feels modern and engaging, whereas a lot of woodworking videos are quite dry and geared towards people that are actually making the thing and wanting directions on how to do it. This gets everyone watching, even people who have never worked with wood in their life and might continue to not to
I'm a new wood turner and just happened upon you and this video, and I'm soooo happy I did! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you and learning some new things. Immediate subscribe!
I hate to say it. But I think one of the strips in the 5 day board is upside down. When the whole board is shown at @33:33 the second from bottom strip looks like it’s the wrong way around. You don’t have the defined squares you do at the top because of it.
its been a year since i"ve got to play with woodworking due tome surviving a stroke sure enjoy watching you makes me more determined to get feeling back in my left arm and hand so I 'can play with wood again, my favorites are purple heart, paduk, black walnut & cherry. i enjoy your videos John!
Five minute board, the most hygienic...practical, functional and beautiful as cutting board...a must in any kitchen! Five hour board, handsome as a serving board or tray...would make an awesome cheese display tray... Five day board, intriguing art work...a lovely mural for an entrance or narrow wall which is also a focal wall...too busy for a cutting board, and the joints that over time may pull loose and hide pathogens...just too risky :)
End grain is both more hygienic and better for your knife. Actually, there likely isn't much difference on the hygiene front but if forced to I'd bet on that one
The five minute board is the one ~I~ use at home, the 5 hour one is the kind I make for family at X-mas, and the 5 day one is the one I try to sell. Which means I can sell the 5 min and 5 hours boards at craft fairs/on Etsy for a fair price and the 5 day will be the piece that looks pretty but comes back home for several years running because it's gonna be $$$.
Though I gotta ask, what are you doing with the off cuts? Seems to me like they might be able to be used for a nice --if simpler-- pattern. And maybe the one you borked up you could use for coasters?
For a cutting board to use, The simplest one is the best. Cutting boards are a consumable in the kitchen. For wall art, Either of the other two would look good in any kitchen.
Hey John I just wanted to thank you for the content it's what inspired me to get into wood working. Right now I'm in a carpentry class and it is so much fun. I just bought some shop shades for said class and I'm loving them. Keep up the great work I as well as many others will be looking forward to more to come.
The slab is really nice and warm feeling but that 5-day job really looks like the fine craftsmanship that would become a family heirloom. People don't put that kind of effort into things anymore these days. Love to see it.
Honestly, all things considered, even though it might not have been finished to the standards that John would've preferred, the 5 min board is absolutely fantastic!
5 day one is awesome, i noticed there us one strip that looks like you put in opposite direction or grain orientation. It's just an amazing board, absolutely amazing.
Five minute was the most enjoyable to watch the process, the five day was the most enjoyable result. Have to admit, I am curious to see what you'd be able to make pattern wise if you deliberately f-ed up the pattern of cuts to fill it in with different wood types and then re-cut it to make a snowflake tessellation. probably would take 10 days of glue ups, but would also probably look amazing....or tear a hole in the fabric of reality...
I like how you show your mistakes. You are hilarious and I love the content. You’re an expert and by appearances a pretty rad dude. Then again you might have me fooled
I've gotta say, I honestly like the 5 minute board the best. I definitely appreciate the time and skill that went into the 5 day board, but the simplicity of a beautiful live edge board just does it for me.
My thoughts exactly!
yeah, i'm not a huge fan of all that glue either.
This. So much.
Same here
Not to mention that glue is the worst kind of spice
Me and my dad used to make kid sized rocking chairs every Christmas for like 10 years to leave on people's doorsteps in our neighborhood and other people who had kids. We started in July and averaged 50 plus every year. One of my favorite parts was driving around in the truck and running the chairs to the door steps, knocking, and running. We almost never got sighted so we were able to do this secretly for a very long time. My father is now suffering from dementia so this video really hot home for me. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Have a Merry Christmas
I leave Christmas trees that are lit. Only one per year.

@@headleshydraI think the point is the 5min one is almost disposable. Think how many of those you could build in 5days
@@TheMerce101 Completely agree - but as a consumer, would you want to be replacing your board every few weeks(if you want it pristine) or few months with normal use to totally ruin it, bits of wood flaking off in your food, and importantly DULLING YOUR KNIVES etc, or would you want a board that after several years of heavy use there's not a mark on it, saving you £100's on knive sharpening(or many hours if you do it yourself) for 10x the price?

That 5 day is STUNNING. Honestly the 5 min is too bc it highlights the wood. Awesome to watch a master play.
Etsy sellers be selling that 5 minute one for $324.62 + shipping
I wish I could get that id be lucky get £50($60-70) for it over here 👍🏴
The world economy at the moment. "The lazy way is the most profitable way!"

The 5 hour board is really great as a gift. 5 hours is not too much time to give and it looks really nice.
Wow! The 5-day is the most intricate and beautiful cutting board I've ever seen. Amazing mathematical and 3-dimensional thinking and execution. God bless you.
I love the practicality of a good end-grain cutting board, but the 5 minute board looks great.
As much time and effort you’re put into it all. I really love the rugged look of the five minute board.
I dont know but something looks off with the 5 day one at the close up at 33:33. Looks to me that the bottom part is turn the wrong way, To me something looks off witht that second from the bottom to. You can see the clear line through the board. On the top half ithe lines dieappear better. Perhaps it is just the camera angle. But it looks very nice.
Yeah...
He said he was having trouble matching the corners perfectly so I bet he just made a design call. I think it looks like mountains on the bottom half there. Very cool
Agree
It does looks a bit off, probably due to grain direction. But it is the only part that is actually weaving. The top part is just squares on top of square .
C'est ce que j'ai remarqué aussi.
Quand on regarde bien, elle est posé dans le mauvais sens.
Une rotation à 180°. Dommage car on ne voit que ça. Sur un tel motif, l'erreur ne pardonne pas.
First video of you that I've ever seen (and I'm not really that into woodworking, actually not at all) and I'm SOLD! Wow! Really nice job!
0:16 WOW, your wife is gorgeous! You have 2 fun channels that I found a month ago. I subscribed immediately after watching you guys unbox a Lowe's return pallet. I don't do any woodworking, I would never try any of it. I took woodshop in 7th grade and built a porch swing that my dad NEVER used. I got an "A" for my swing too. It was nice. that was 35 years ago.
Sounds like you're still jilted your dad never used the swing😂 maybe because he was out working and trying to provide for you. Sounds like he was also a single father
Ouch. Easy bro people have feelings. My apologies if your a bot
ALL THREE ARE FANTASTIC JOHN!!! *CHEFS KISS*
Working as fast as possible with dangerous power tools……SWEET!!!
Amazing. Makes me miss my wood working hobby.
I like the 5 min and 5 day the best. The 5 min one is beautiful because of its natural form. With the 5 day one it's hard to believe it's even wood. So, obviously the 5 day one is the challenge that brought out the amazing out of nature.
Greetings from Finland.
I know this wasn’t an ad for that glue but it probably should be 😂
I made an edge-glued hickory cutting board. It is more of a butcher block than a cutting board because I keep it next to my stove and it covers virtually the entire side counter. It cost $15 for the wood, just a single 1x6x4’ board. For the steaks I cut on it, it works great. It leaves a slight hickory taste too.
Wow the 5 day looks amazing, but I like the simple 5 hour for a daily board.
30:08 ft Riley Ks is where the big red one resides nice glad to see those flags up there man I also saw a cav flag up there too if I’m not mistaken
Hey if I got a flag from my unit would u put it on ur wall
You can see it on John’s face during the 5min board… “Why the f*** are the paper towels all the way over here”…
That 5-Day cutting board is _too_ nice. Whose going to cut anything on that? Plus, hundreds of dollars for that work of art you prop up against a kitchen wall and just enjoy looking at it. Maybe.... maybe use it as a serving tray? I can see the two other cutting boards being used though. And yes, Etsy has some sweet custom cutting boards.
I would 100% use that board. Using it shows appreciation for the work put into it.

I appreciate it too much to use it, if I bought it or something similar off of Etsy.
The 5 day one is endgrain - so won't mark up as much as the other versions. Imagine holding a handful of spaghetti, and cutting it with a knife. when you cut it on the flat/long/horizontal side, there's a lot of resistance. If you push the knife in the "end" where all the ends of spaghetti meet, the knife will fall through the bits of spaghetti. Same on an end grain cutting board but on a microscopic level - it'll take years for any "bad" scratches to build up.
@@headleshydra scratches from years of daily use would just make it more beautiful anyway, not less. It's a hell of a board, but to not use it would be a tragic waste
Perfect charcuterie board imo... for those who can still afford the ham and cheese to go on it after shelling out the hundreds of dollars that the board should deservedly be priced at.
Love the style of video. Love it love it love it. Feels modern and engaging, whereas a lot of woodworking videos are quite dry and geared towards people that are actually making the thing and wanting directions on how to do it. This gets everyone watching, even people who have never worked with wood in their life and might continue to not to
The editor needs a raise. When you showed all the cutting boards at the end, the editor perfectly timed the beats of the music.
I'm a new wood turner and just happened upon you and this video, and I'm soooo happy I did! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you and learning some new things. Immediate subscribe!
I hate to say it. But I think one of the strips in the 5 day board is upside down. When the whole board is shown at @33:33 the second from bottom strip looks like it’s the wrong way around. You don’t have the defined squares you do at the top because of it.
the 2 bottoms ones got flipped. r1 and r2 are flipped and rotated 180. very sad cuz it kills how i feel about it
Yeah, but that's what makes it "real".
its been a year since i"ve got to play with woodworking due tome surviving a stroke sure enjoy watching you makes me more determined to get feeling back in my left arm and hand so I 'can play with wood again, my favorites are purple heart, paduk, black walnut & cherry. i enjoy your videos John!
If nothing else, the 5 minute board was a great ad for Mirka. It did an awesome job of cleaning up the edges really quickly.
Love that Mirka knot removal tool
By far, mix of quality, skill, and entertainment is unparalleled with wood working channels. Love your show
Five minute board, the most hygienic...practical, functional and beautiful as cutting board...a must in any kitchen!
Five hour board, handsome as a serving board or tray...would make an awesome cheese display tray...
Five day board, intriguing art work...a lovely mural for an entrance or narrow wall which is also a focal wall...too busy for a cutting board, and the joints that over time may pull loose and hide pathogens...just too risky :)
End grain is both more hygienic and better for your knife. Actually, there likely isn't much difference on the hygiene front but if forced to I'd bet on that one
The last one was as if im looking at a kaleidoscope endlessly, damn bro, hats off
You do realize that warning is misspelled at the 1:10 mark.
Warnging lmao
In de warninging
He was rushing and sprinting through it
The five minute board is the one ~I~ use at home, the 5 hour one is the kind I make for family at X-mas, and the 5 day one is the one I try to sell.
Which means I can sell the 5 min and 5 hours boards at craft fairs/on Etsy for a fair price and the 5 day will be the piece that looks pretty but comes back home for several years running because it's gonna be $$$.
Though I gotta ask, what are you doing with the off cuts? Seems to me like they might be able to be used for a nice --if simpler-- pattern. And maybe the one you borked up you could use for coasters?
For a cutting board to use, The simplest one is the best. Cutting boards are a consumable in the kitchen. For wall art, Either of the other two would look good in any kitchen.
Hey John I just wanted to thank you for the content it's what inspired me to get into wood working. Right now I'm in a carpentry class and it is so much fun. I just bought some shop shades for said class and I'm loving them. Keep up the great work I as well as many others will be looking forward to more to come.
next time without cuts
I like these videos/this series because it illustrates the importance of taking your time and just how long woodworking projects take.
I don't even do woodworking but I love your videos!!! That 5 day board even though you "messed up" is phenomenal. Great job
the "its so hot in here" "OHH" had me rewinding a few times. NICE WORK BOI
The slab is really nice and warm feeling but that 5-day job really looks like the fine craftsmanship that would become a family heirloom. People don't put that kind of effort into things anymore these days. Love to see it.
Honestly, all things considered, even though it might not have been finished to the standards that John would've preferred, the 5 min board is absolutely fantastic!
When the 5min board looks better than the 5h one... 5 day is beautiful.
John is usually so goofy, then he does something like this and I'm reminded he actually knows his stuff.
Great watch and great introduction to your channel!! Look forwards to watching other amazing videos
Wow! A Damascus wood cutting board.
Beautiful.
I think a border on the 5 day one would look really cool. something like a dark wood type to give an outline. still looks great though.
I'm back! Puke and Rally! This went through my head before it came on the screen. Lost my biscuit when it came on! Keep up the awesome work John!
I love what you do and love hearing that Pittsburgh accent. Having grown up in the area, it sounds like home.
Only thing more Zen, at least in my book, than watching someone turn wood into something special is to do it yourself^^
5 day one is awesome, i noticed there us one strip that looks like you put in opposite direction or grain orientation. It's just an amazing board, absolutely amazing.
Five minute was the most enjoyable to watch the process, the five day was the most enjoyable result. Have to admit, I am curious to see what you'd be able to make pattern wise if you deliberately f-ed up the pattern of cuts to fill it in with different wood types and then re-cut it to make a snowflake tessellation. probably would take 10 days of glue ups, but would also probably look amazing....or tear a hole in the fabric of reality...
Thats Crazy he literally start the challenge running to the wood stock like he would at work 😂😂 you got me with that
Not ashame to say that I love the 5 min. one. So much work on the other two tho, awesome!
Ok, I now really want to make a custom electric guitar based on this cutting board. It would look fantastic! and Unique!!! Nice work!
I love how John made the cutting board accents to show off his true favorite football team...CLEVELAND BROWNS! Well played John, well played.
I love the over all shape and looks of the 5 hour board the best. Not overly complex and distracting, but good looking.
That's a super cute wedding dress
I absolutely love the dedication for the 5 day board and its very beautiful. My personal favorite though is the 5 minute one.
I like how you show your mistakes. You are hilarious and I love the content. You’re an expert and by appearances a pretty rad dude. Then again you might have me fooled
Absolute high levels of craftsmanship. It's the 5 min one that tookmy heart
All three of them look beautiful, but my favorite is the 5 minute board. I just love a natural edge.
