  • Follow along as I create and give detailed instructions on this uniquely patterned cutting board. This honeycomb or hexagon pattern is a real head turner. I'll be using hard maple and walnut, make a few jigs, and point out some things I'd change along the way.

I ask lots of questions of fellow woodworkers, and watch a lot of videos on techniques that I'm less familiar with in an effort to improve the outcome of any project I may be taking on. I still consider myself pretty green, and have a lot to learn, but we all start somewhere.

      Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! I would love to say this was my own technique, but I've seen it used by other woodworkers to provide a little bit of friction when trying to glue surfaces that tend to shift against one another. It's been pretty handy.

      I saw this trick a few years ago from another channel. It does work and just about every time I glue, I now use salt.
      Another trick the author didn't mention is spraying the bottom of your crosscut sled with Pam or any other non-stick kitchen cooking spray. This helps your sled slide easily over your table saw deck, making your cuts easier to do and reducing the chance your sled gets snagged in your table saw deck grooves.

There are lots of surfaces in contact with each other, but with proper finishing and glueing it should mitigate those issues. This particular board has been in use for a little over a year with no issues. Another way to prevent the issues you mention is good technique when cleaning, caring for, and conditioning the cutting board.

      Thanks for watching the video and commenting. You're brave to make this board for your first, but sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet. Hope it goes well. I think wood is expensive all over right now. I've had to "up" my asking price on this board since posting this video. I've got about 6 of these under my belt now so it's a little less time consuming to build each one now, but as wood prices started rising all you can do it adjust the asking price. Even at $200 we're not really getting a lot for our labor.

    • @DEJaegerWoodworking
      @DEJaegerWoodworking  2 роки тому +3

      @@MoonPump Thanks for your comment. There may be other factors at play that you're not taking into consideration in terms of pricing. If the gentleman above is happy with his selling price, or if I am, and feel that it's worth it the time and effort that's all that really matters. You run the risk of pricing yourself completely out of sales when you start upping your price to the levels you indicate. You can only sell something for what someone it willing to pay for it. In California, he might be able to get more than $200 for this cutting board, in Mid-Missouri, not likely. This was a fairly small cutting board (11" x 11" x 3.4" when finished), and I doubt that I have more than $40 worth of wood in the entire board, glue, sanding, etc. I'd say overall I have maybe 5-6 hours (maybe less) of actual labor in it (not counting the overnight glue drying time) now that I've refined the process. If I subtract my material costs and divide that out, it would be averaging a little more than $25/hr. for labor. Personally, I don't think that's too bad, but again, it may not be for others. A lot of woodworking is just the enjoyment of the process.

    great project, thanks for this! one note - instead of starting with 1" thick board, cut the hexagon a little shorter on that side. if you were to follow the same process with 1" thick board (basing the width of the hexagon cut on the thickness of the board with no allowance for sanding), you'll wind up with bigger hexagons but still worrying about sanding too much off.

    A good idea to get consistent cad files is to use something like CAD/sketchup/solidworks instead of Word. Notwithstanding that, if you DO insist on using word, holding the SHIFT key while drawing your hexagon in Word will enforce "equilateral" (all sides the same). Finally, in the Format Shape panel under your line settings, ensure your join type is set to miter.
    It's also worth remembering that your monitor adjusts the dimensions of an image to render it correctly on a widescreen. The shape may not look correct visually until printed.

    I love this! I’m not a woodworker yet so I’m watching videos like this to learn. I think I would have just made thicker hex sides then glued to just one side. Then glue them together. Instead of trying to glue the two sides on each then glue all together. Maybe don’t put the tops and bottom on till it’s all done. Then cut some thick slabs and glue them to the top and bottom after you put your hexagons together. Then cut your sectionals. Not sure if what I’m thinking would work better or worse. I’m just glad videos like yours inspires me with ideas! Thanks!

      Epoxy is pretty bad for the sharp knives, the whole purpose of grain end cutting board is that knife edge rides between wood fibers. I am sure you can make it very beautiful but if there are too much epoxy it may lower overall performance. Of course if you only plan to display your cutting board or use it as presentation dish then it will work just fine.

    That's really cool, thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
    Personally I think it looked awesome before you cut off the edges to square it up. Most people probably wouldn't want sharp edges on the sides of their cutting board though. I wonder how it would look with just a 1/4 inch or so shaved off the tips, so it didn't come to a point but still had that irregular edge. You'd almost want to do it on all four sides though, and that would be challenging.

    You said getting the hexagons to be regular (i.e. all sides are the same length) was hard but I don't think it's a math and angle problems: you'll always have discrepancies due to sanding.
    What you could do, though, is making them symmetrical with two longer sides (the way they are in your board) on purpose...and do a final cut and glue-up across that extra length.

    Wow, what a board! I am in the process of making my first board and am finding the drum sander a god send! out of curiosity, how much time, start to finish, did your board take? And given the amount of cuts, glueing, and sanding, what did you sell your board for, and how did you determine the price? So many questions, but oh! such a beautiful board!!!

    • @DEJaegerWoodworking
      @DEJaegerWoodworking  2 роки тому +15

      Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I appreciate it! think that sander is the most expensive thing in my shop, but it has been well worth it. I use it on every project, it saves me a ton of time, and is far less messy than hand sanding with an orbital sander. I think it's likely the best purchase I've made. In regards to build time... waiting for the glue ups are really where I "lose time" but since it's not really what I call a labor cost, it's just having to wait around. I can glue up the thin walnut pieces to the maple in about 5 minutes, but I only have enough clamps and jig to do one of those glue ups at a time. I typically let the piece sit in the clamps for at least 5-6 hours before unclamping and getting another piece clamped up. All of the unclamped pieces dry at least 24 hours before I assembly the panel itself. With all that said, I've probably only got between 6 and 8 hours of actual labor in the entire board start to finish (again, not counting actual drying time). During that drying time I can work on a completely different project, mill some lumber, clean up a little, etc. The material costs for all my projects have gone up just due to supply chain issues over the past couple of years. I'd say there's probably $40 worth of wood in this board if I order the stock to the dimensions I'm wanting to start with (18" x 2" x 3/4"). In terms of what I charge for a board. The cost really depends on the size. The board in this video I sold for $125 (I think I undersold it personally). It was a fairly small board (10" x 10" x 3/4"). I've since made a couple of boards a little bigger and thicker and was charging $150 for them. I've gotten so many requests for them that I've now put a price on them at $200 for a board that is roughly 12" x 10" x 1". If someone requested one larger, I'd adjust the price a little. The prices were for local customers where shipping wasn't involved. Let me know if you have any additional questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can.
