beautiful work, brother. I don't know if you have put those kinda borders around other cutting boards you've made but I can share this one experience. I made on of those end grain 3D cube looking boards with walnut, maple and cherry and it came out really nice. I edged it with paduck, I think. Gave it to my son for xmas a few years back and it went to live with him down in Tucson. Happily, I might add for a year or so and then one night... He and his GF were sitting around watching TV when they heard what they thought to be a small explosion. That cutting board broke open close to some of the glue lines. The edge banding had been limiting or preventing the moisture content driven movement in the wood. Fortunately, I was able to saw away all the edge banding and glue it back together using the biggest baddest clamps I had. I will never edge band a cutting board again...
This is my first border. I’m happy with my boards without a border! I got a lot of comments in my first board video from people wanting me to do this pattern, also a lot of people didn’t like the crazy edges you get without a border. I decided to kill two birds with one stone in this video. The only problem is I wound up not having enough material to do the border in end grain like you’re supposed to. I built the board mainly for the video. I’ll keep it and see what happens! Thanks for watching!
Great work! The only things I would point out are lack of hearing protection and the long grain border which defeats the point of an end grain cutting board, everything else is on point!
21:59 hearing protection. Long grain frame is a choice not the rule. Plus it will have people wondering about how it actually looks on the edge, a bit of mistery I think is great.
Drum sander heats the wood up too much, I think it makes it try to warp. I just glue a block of wood on the end and plane it. Should be ok with a spiral cutting head.
The author is right drum sanders do work well (I use one) but as he said you wouldn't guess it but it creates a lot of heat and unless you are very careful can force the boards to cup. They are also time consuming - drum sanders will sand end grain but they don't like it. Using one for edge/long grain I can take off 0.3mm at a time depending on the wood and the width. With a large (12+ inch) end grain board I struggle to take off 0.1mm at a time, and I usually try to take less. You can imagine how long it would take to flatten a large end grain board when the pieces have slipped a little during glue-up when you are only taking 0.1mm per pass.
A lot of the best looking patterns have this "waste". I've tried to glue all the corners cut off at 45 degrees for a lot of these fancy patterns back together into blocks to cut up into end grain coasters and it's very difficult to avoid gaps, and very difficult to make profit on all that work. Still... I don't like waste and am always looking for a way to use it. Trying to easily make use of that waste would probably make for an interesting video...
Yeah, it’ll swell and mess it up, won’t it? I didn’t have time to do the end grain version of the border, guess I’ll be cutting this one off in the future, to redo it. I Knew someone would call me out on that!
@@TheSidney3 Eventually it will. I used to make cutting boards too nice and people used them for decoration. 2 inch hardmaple end grain simple brick pattern is hard to beat. Customers will use them.
Came here to find this comment. It might last a lifetime but cutting boards have a hard moisture-rich life which doesn't help with wood movement. Beautiful pattern though. I guess making the frame in end grain is as annoying as making the thin panels to make the "mortar" in brick pattern boards. It's worth the effort for a long lasting board and also commands a higher price for that extra effort.
@@teejay3510 Cutting boards either end grain or long should be made for use. A good board will last and become beautiful over time and last a generation. Nobody is paying for decoration on something to chop chicken and vegetables on. Thats just nonsense. I make mine from hardmaple I shoot for 2 inch but they always finish less. I use titebond 3 thinned down because thick glue line are not good. And the thin glue is easy to squeeze out.
The boards I make are for content creation. They are good at that! People love watching them come together! What do you want to see me build? I’m not going to film paying projects. It’s too distracting and slows down the project too much.
what a gorgeous shop you have here, its spacious yet cozy. i envy you.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! You're a perfectionist. Amazing patience and attention to detail.
Thanks for watching!
I can't decide if I'm more impressed by the cutting board or your shop.
I love the view out your windows! I also like that you don’t play music or do weird cut-ins of memes. Very nice!
Love your shop.
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos! always excited to see them pop up
I’m glad you like them, thanks for watching!
What an incredible shop! But of everything you have in there, I think I’m most jealous of the shop cat.
Beautiful board!
Your heart is in the right place! Thanks for watching!
So dang good! Very jealous of that shop

As always. Amazing.
You did it again!! Amazing stuff as always

Looks like tethered awr plugs to me.

fire
we missed u man
happy ur back
Stunning!!!!
It's been a while, we missed you
The longgrain will crush the endgrain. Hope it workes. But wait a year and boom. But it looks great
I’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for watching!
15:21 oops, miter push and fence and cut through. Choose 2 or use offset block
Interesting that the planer can handle end-grain? I was told that when it comes to end-grain, you have to use a drum sander, not a planer

Love it! What type of wood did you use? Looks more like a painting than a cutting board! 🤪
Purple Heart and maple. Thanks for watching!
Curious why you don't have a riving knife? Tablesaw didn't come with one? or did you remove it for a reason?
Lost it in the move from my other shop
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I give up trying to figure out what you are doing
😁 Thanks for watching! Sorry it was unclear for you!
Wow........= )
С меня 👍
A lot of useless work. Cuts made in vain. Cut wood and throw it away???
It grows on trees! 😁

@@teejay3510 I've made jewelry from my scraps! there is no end to what you can make with left over material!
Why would you do that? End grain wrapped with long grain. All that work for nothing.

@@augustwest8559 Those are really cool looking if you get those grain patterns going. The wood speaks for itself!

All those tools in that wonderful space and you use them to make cutting boards? So wasteful
