Trucks are replaceable. You were lucky to have not been out there when it was hit. I am glad the man driving the other car was able to recover. Have you ever thought about using some of the small offcuts as knife scales for bladesmiths? I bet there are some UA-cam knife makers that would love to have some. - Leaving this up here but I just read the extended "read more" section about matching knives. Way cool. But a collaboration with you and Will Stelter or Kyle Royer would be cool.
@@tamachining I did watch till the end. I made the comment while watching the beginning as I thought of it. Then later, after I watched till the end and reading the extended section, I edited it. I still believe that a collaboration with LOTS of knife makers would be damned cool. The knife making community on UA-cam is pretty close knit.
Your repeatability is out of this world. Ive often wondered how time consuming that level of custom work can be. Mind blown and I have mad respect for your work. Great work and content!
I have been woodworking as a hobby for about 40 years now and This is the second video I watched of yours and I have to say that you have inspired me to pursue a small Business of my own that I’ve been wanting to do a few years now. And I will continue watching your videos. Thank You
@@piccalillipit9211 This product looks and feels like to last for generations. It’s a steal to have these exotic woods with prize winning craftsmanship.
I’m just amazed how quick your business has grown and how you keep adding new tools and have improved the efficiency of building the cutting boards. Great job!
It's been such an amazing ride following the channel since the first viral video. It's wild how far he's been able to upgrade the shop in such a short amount of time.
I've done lots of grueling, repetitive work in my life, but watching you makes me feel like I ain't seen NOTHIN' yet! Every one of those boards was gorgeous! Your choice of woods, colors and patterns is very appealing and tasteful-- like the Duesenbergs of cutting boards. Just wow.
I have to admit I have some serious shop and talent envy, but then I get to the end of the video and just have to think DAMN. I think I will just buy products from you as I'd lose my mind trying to make things as nice as yours. Thank you for making me appreciate quality even more.
I agree. The sheer amount of coordination going into this work is astonishing. My poor squirrel brain can barely manage coordinating coffee into a cup.
I'm so amazed at how a humble chopping board hobby has managed to get you to where you are. That is one seriously impressive work shop for making chopping boards. Your work is 👌
My friend, you are quite a craftsman. Your attention to detail is amazing. It's one thing to have a shop full of nice tools, quite another to know how to use them and what to use them for. First time watching, but I will be back! Beautiful work.
Kris congratulations on your new shop! Good for you, you deserve it! You have inspired many and have taken the cutting board to the next level. You my friend are the modern day American dream, you want something bad enough go out and get it through hard work and struggles and you will prevail! You have a beautiful family and God Bless! Cheers!
I have to admit it, that thumb nail really sparks the interest! Those paturns and final boards are really gorgeous. Being able to spend so much time and just keep going at it until you've finished so much final product at such a high standard is amazing..... I have so much respect for your dedication 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can't thank Mr. DeVo enough for sharing his first video on how he started making cutting boards. He was my inspiration at 17 and now I am 18 and have a business doing the same thing and prospering from it. Thank you again for these videos! They are very inspiring!
I am blown away by your progress. I started watching you in your small shop at your home. To see your shop now, and the standard of your products, absolutely amazes me. You should be so so so proud of what you have achieved. I will have to buy a board from you now and get it all the way to Ireland somehow. 😂
Everything came out so clean. I love all your color combinations and your process. Amazing to watch all the hard work you put into your products! Keep up the great work. Cheers!!
Great video and I loved your trip video. You do so much work I got tired just watching, but great watching. Sorry about your truck. Hope your family is good.
Chris, this is the second time I've watched your video. My daughter's family used to live in Eagle River and we often stopped into Jitters for our mochas. i'm a retired citizen and make pens, pencils and some cutting boards. You have really done a great job putting in the time and effort into your many projects. Congrats on your success.
Love that tease at the end! 😲 You are incredibly talented, while being a great Dad and providing for your family. I'm sorry for your truck, and thankful that you are okay. I love, love, love to see how far you've come. Keep up the excellent work.
Efficiency is amazing with that auto glue thingy, and your super clamping system! This is the shop most of us just dream about; bandsaw that can re-saw near veneer thinness, and a planer that adjusts itself! 🤯
Such craftsmanship! We can see the love and care in each board. Sorry about your truck! I'm thankful that you didn't get hurt. Wish you could have got your moose! And most importantly your daughter is really cute, glad she was in the video. Thanks for a great video!
Visited Alaska last fall, sept 2022 and fell in love with your state. If i was a younger man I'd move! Went from Fairbanks to Valdez,, back to Fairbanks and then over to Denali. Was there 10 days. What a wonderful vacation. Im also a wood worker, and do cutting boards. I build on or two at a time, and give them as gifts. I have sold a couple. You do really nice work. Keep living the dream and giving it all you have to offer. Your attention to detail and care for your customers is impressive. Quality and customer care is where it's at! Much love and mad respect... Mark- Newalla, OK.
Near misses like what you experienced can make anyone reflect on life and what's truly important. That said I'm a new viewer to your channel and never thought a cutting board would make me feel emotional, but that last bit of the video after the four dips... holy smokes. You're making works of art.
First off, great video. For those who dont know Kris or havent seen his work, i dont know many people that express his level of detail and commitment. Kris, i cannot wait to continue the collab. Hats off to ya brother.
Whenever I feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I have ahead of me I just need to watch one of your videos to remind me that there are no shortcuts to being great at what you do. Its blood, sweat, fatigue, cramps, pain, bad luck, and you name it. All the forces that seem to want to prevent you from reaching your standards never fail to show up at work. Watching you work gives that extra shot to forge on and get it done. Thank you and please dont stop being creative, (It only gets better from here) . p.s. sorry about your truck, i know you and were close.
Been watching you from the very beginning in your little garage. I gotta say the way you have your production line setup is genius to say the least. Also there’s no one more deserving then you to have come this far with your business. Awesome.
I am a weaver....and I absolutely love working with a striped warp. Watching you stack up all of those different woods was like a clarion call Back. To. The. Loom!!
I watch a good bit of woodworking videos and find yours just absolutely riveting. So much to see and absorb. Doing your WW job and putting out videos too must be one heck of a work load. Also lucky to have such a beautiful state to live in. Stay safe and enjoy.
I would love to come work in your shop for a week just for the experience ,, but its a bit far from the UK :D . Love your work and dedication to how you do everything. Just amazing.
I am very impressed by your level of quality control, especially the long finishing process. A lot of guys I see focused on mass production are just worried about getting as many pieces as they can as fast as they can and usually skip at least a few of the steps you take.
Thank you Bryan, I've been told 90% of people wont know its 70% finished.... Thats just not me, as hard as it is. I think people know its something they haven't experienced before.
I loved watching this journey. This video just popped up on my recommendations and I had to click on it. The cutting boards are literally a work of art. I'm so sorry about your truck and I hope good things come quick to you and your family. I wish I saw this video earlier so I could get one of your cutting boards. Please keep doing them in the future. I honestly love how you make them and would enjoy supporting your business!
Absolutely awesome. All the hard work and labor will pay off. The way you make your boards are an awesome way to do it. Trucks are replaceable you are not. Praying the other driver fully recover from the accident. Pesty little bear looked hungry. And a moose in your driveway, I would expect that in Alaska. Stay warm, safe and healthy. No more finger in the belt sander. Yes it could've been a lot worse than that.
These are gorgeous. Thank you for your time. Love 💘 it. I could see this as baseboards in s house. Over the top pop. Or crown moldings. Million dollar room.
I do a lot of production woodworking too, man hats off to you for not compromising on the quality of your product. I have to think a Cnc could optimize your process for adding the juice groove to your boards. Plus you could do soooo much more, the machines are extremely versatile and it’s like having another employee. Anyways love your work, excited to see what you’re doing next.
I have just started on my little wood working journey, so far I have put up shelves around the house, made a coffee table and 2 lounge end tables from reclaimed pallet wood and left over 1/2" CD ply which came from the workbench/jobsite saw out feed table I have made. Really love seeing these beautiful cutting boards come together and is something I'd love to try soon. Keep up the great content creation and amazing work you put into your products. Thanks for the inspiration.
Awesome video Kris! I had asked you last year about a moose hunting video and you said work was gonna take priority which I certainly understood. Very glad you are making some time to get some work/life balance. Love seeing your woodworking success!
Darn I Remember When You Were in Your Little Shop, & Truly You Have So Much More Equipment & Order's , you don't Really have that Much more Room to work & I'm still overwhelmed How BEAUTIFUL They Are & How Much Work You put into Each piece You Do, & Now Knife Handles I Know They're going To Be AWESOME, 👍👍👍👍👍
The last time I saw one of your videos you were talking about moving to a bigger building. It's amazing what you were able to do in your garage. Possibilities are endless now. Great job.
Finally, been waiting patiently for this one. Literally dropped everything and took a long break to watch. Thanks for sharing your experiences, o and I may have copied/taken inspiration from your designs :)
You've really ramped up your production since the last time I saw you! I'm very impressed. I lived in Fairbanks from 1993 to 2009. I miss Alaska but I needed to move closer to my grandchildren.
I completely understand and appreciate your determination to produce high quality wood products. I do not question the amount of time or the number of steps you have developed to move these pieces forward. But as I watched you cut and then rout out the legs for the matching pattern stands for these cutting boards, my thought was to speed up the process and perhaps find a way to have them cut out by lasers, and/or simply make them of one color, or paint gloss black. A lesser complicated stand will not detract from the beauty of your finished cutting boards. Sometimes mass production has to be considered when the number of your orders goes through the roof. If nothing else, fewer steps in the stands' construction and finishing process will also keep your prices under control and buy you additional time to concentrate on the boards themselves and get more completed orders shipped out. My 5 cents (adjusted for inflation).
you don't get it people ordering from him want the same thing as in the video / thumbnail As in, alternating stripes of color. This is the whole point. The only reason why it's popular in the first place is because it looks good in a thumbnail, and people clicked on it.
OMG - YOUR TRUCK! I feel your pain ... on the flip side you get to start a new chapter after it's fixed ( assuming that it wasn't called a total .. ) Glad you were not out there at the time..... That is an AMAZING video - you have accomplished a monumental thing with your business / shops Kudos!
I have followed you on and off since you started, and your product sells because the dedication you put into the finish which is phenomenal, well done. I did think that all the leftovers could be glued up and if you got a turner in you could make up some finger bowls or salad bowls. Anyway nice blog all the best for the new/next season 👍😄
Wow! Glad to see that you weren’t injured, man! That was a scary accident and how crazy is it that you were standing there just minutes earlier!? 😮😳 Anyways, love the videos… great work. Keep ‘em comin!
awesome work my friend I'm glad to see you are getting a little help in the shop although it looks like you need some more help I wish I could be there myself
Kris you really have some beautiful boards there , I hope to be able to order one soon,,your daughter has turned into a cutie pie,,darling little girl,,,teach her all about camping and making wooden crafts,,glad you weren't around your truck when that happened,,without saying,,,,,,,,stay safe and God bless,,😇😍
Your video accidentally appeared in my recommendations. I was fascinated. I never thought that a cutting board could be a work of art. I don't know anything about woodworking, but the video was interesting for me. It's amazing how much equipment and tools you have. I saw a high "production culture" and it struck me. I saw with what love you treat each stage of production and all the little things. Your product is incredibly high quality. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones! I want to wish you prosperity and success in your business. With great respect to you and your loved ones.
As someone who used to make cutting boards with my husband back in the 90s, we didn't have much of a way to sell them. Every time we gave as gifts, people loved them. The power of the internet plus talent is a beautiful thing. Wish I could afford one.
I know it is a lot of work but is nice to see a longer video. Thanks for sharing. Also, really sorry about your Truck. I am glad it didn't happen 4 minutes earlier than it did.
First video I've seen of yours, and needless to say, absolutely amazing. To watch the time, effort and passion for your craft go into this work in this video was nothing short of inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Damn sorry about your truck Kris! I hope that situation works it’s self out quickly! I have been a woodworker/cabinetmaker/furniture maker since 1986. I have seen and done probably about everything. That being said, I love watching your videos! Watching you gives me hope that it won’t become a lost art!!
The quality of your work is outstanding and the product is exceptional. Be very proud Sir. I am sorry about your truck, and all the inconvenience caused. Best wishes. Jack from Brisbane Queensland Australia.
Sure is some nice looking cutting board. My butcher block burned in the house, now I use a plastic cutting board. Great job on on your products. God Bless you and family
WOW what a great video. You give hope to the lil guy! I have been working my but off trying to fill my shop with tools to start making outdoor teak furniture ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD AND HARD WORK!!!!!!
As always your products are beautiful! So sorry about your truck; anyone that has been following your channel any time at all knows how much you loved your truck!
Thank you for showing your sanding finger mistake. Every time a popular woodworking channel shows these things it brings it back to the forefront of my mind. People often forget that it only takes a second and they just start getting complacent.
what an awesome experience this is, entrepreneurship, live on UA-cam. I remember seeing your old videos where you made these exact boards and you even mentioned how it changed your life over night with so many orders, And now This!!!! Hats off to you Sir, you turned hobby into business. Once between these years I actually tried making one board my self with your design principles and with your video as guide but I failed hard, I only had a bandsaw to work with, plaining was hard for me and I just gave up. Again big props and thanks a thousand times for the video series.
I’m thankful you were in the house when your truck got hit AND when the bear visited! Such a cool place you live, such a cool job, family, life! Thanks for sharing a part of it!!!
Trucks are replaceable. You were lucky to have not been out there when it was hit. I am glad the man driving the other car was able to recover.

But a collaboration with you and Will Stelter or Kyle Royer would be cool.
Thanks Ron, will have to check those guys out. Cheers
I like this idea. I'm sure Will would have no problem.
Seems like you didn't watch the whole video
@@tamachining I did watch till the end. I made the comment while watching the beginning as I thought of it. Then later, after I watched till the end and reading the extended section, I edited it. I still believe that a collaboration with LOTS of knife makers would be damned cool. The knife making community on UA-cam is pretty close knit.
Great idea, the knife community is after small grain patterns. The average scale is 1” by 5” by the thickness.
Your repeatability is out of this world. Ive often wondered how time consuming that level of custom work can be. Mind blown and I have mad respect for your work. Great work and content!
What a focused and complicated production. Not only the woodworking but the excellent video. Well done.
I have been woodworking as a hobby for about 40 years now and
This is the second video I watched of yours and I have to say that you have inspired me to pursue a small Business of my own that I’ve been wanting to do a few years now.
And I will continue watching your videos. Thank You
You should do - he is selling these for $300 to $2250 each
How does "Goodman the Woodman" sound as a business name? LOL! Good luck!
@@piccalillipit9211 This product looks and feels like to last for generations. It’s a steal to have these exotic woods with prize winning craftsmanship.

Your creativity and finished products are absolutely awesome!
I’m wondering if you are debt free ?
I've done lots of grueling, repetitive work in my life, but watching you makes me feel like I ain't seen NOTHIN' yet! Every one of those boards was gorgeous! Your choice of woods, colors and patterns is very appealing and tasteful-- like the Duesenbergs of cutting boards. Just wow.
I love the attention to detail. I have learned a lot watching these. Thanks a million!
I have to admit I have some serious shop and talent envy, but then I get to the end of the video and just have to think DAMN. I think I will just buy products from you as I'd lose my mind trying to make things as nice as yours. Thank you for making me appreciate quality even more.
Appreciate the kind words Jon.
Dear sir you are a very hard working guy. I hope you make a good living from it. You deserve it.
Good luck

You should get an award for your organisational skills. Keeping track of all those bits of wood, glued parts and boards. Just wow. 😊
I agree. The sheer amount of coordination going into this work is astonishing. My poor squirrel brain can barely manage coordinating coffee into a cup.
Appreciate that
Congratulations on your success! I first saw your videos when you were working solely out of your garage at your house. The new shop is fantastic
Thank you Chris!
I'm so amazed at how a humble chopping board hobby has managed to get you to where you are. That is one seriously impressive work shop for making chopping boards. Your work is 👌

Your ability to scale up and not lose your mind is commended!
Thank you!
Incredible!
I am blown away by your progress. I started watching you in your small shop at your home. To see your shop now, and the standard of your products, absolutely amazes me. You should be so so so proud of what you have achieved. I will have to buy a board from you now and get it all the way to Ireland somehow. 😂
Seeing your truck get hit hurt my soul. I’m sorry for your loss. 😢😢😢
Everything came out so clean. I love all your color combinations and your process. Amazing to watch all the hard work you put into your products! Keep up the great work. Cheers!!
Fantastic work, in both wood working and video production quality!
Wow! The attention to detail and time and care put into each product isn't something you see much anymore. Helluva job.
Thank you Jesse
Great video and I loved your trip video. You do so much work I got tired just watching, but great watching. Sorry about your truck. Hope your family is good.

I did think that all the leftovers could be glued up and if you got a turner in you could make up some finger bowls or salad bowls. Anyway nice blog all the best for the new/next season 👍😄
Thank you!
Wow! Glad to see that you weren’t injured, man! That was a scary accident and how crazy is it that you were standing there just minutes earlier!? 😮😳
Anyways, love the videos… great work. Keep ‘em comin!
It was a really big project. Good job.👍👍👍
Alaska is great place. Was stationed there from 1984 - 1988 and we loved it. I know what me and the other vets would do with the scrap wood.
awesome work my friend I'm glad to see you are getting a little help in the shop although it looks like you need some more help I wish I could be there myself
Thank you John, appreciate that
Kris you really have some beautiful boards there , I hope to be able to order one soon,,your daughter has turned into a cutie pie,,darling little girl,,,teach her all about camping and making wooden crafts,,glad you weren't around your truck when that happened,,without saying,,,,,,,,stay safe and God bless,,😇😍
Thank you Edward!
Your video accidentally appeared in my recommendations. I was fascinated. I never thought that a cutting board could be a work of art. I don't know anything about woodworking, but the video was interesting for me. It's amazing how much equipment and tools you have. I saw a high "production culture" and it struck me. I saw with what love you treat each stage of production and all the little things. Your product is incredibly high quality. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones! I want to wish you prosperity and success in your business. With great respect to you and your loved ones.
Appreciate the kinds words Joy, thank you!
Kris. Your craftsmanship is literally second to none. Truly in a class of your own. Your videos are mesmerizing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you like them Cody!
Sorry for ur Lost of ur Ram Truck. Your pride in workman ship is outstanding. hard work pays-off.
As someone who used to make cutting boards with my husband back in the 90s, we didn't have much of a way to sell them. Every time we gave as gifts, people loved them. The power of the internet plus talent is a beautiful thing.
Wish I could afford one.
Hey Kris, good to see you back on mate... I thought you gave up the ghost. A BIG hi from Glasgow, Scotland B-)
Thank you! Good to be back

Thank you James

Feel like you would really benefit from a Festool vacuum clamp for your juice groove sanding! Love your work Chris
I had one on order for 6 months right when they stopped making them a year ago. Bummed
Just magnificent Kris... Couldn't stop watching, love it.
I'm sorry about your truck! I'm glad he wasn't driving by 4 minutes sooner! 🙌

First video I've seen of yours, and needless to say, absolutely amazing. To watch the time, effort and passion for your craft go into this work in this video was nothing short of inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Damn sorry about your truck Kris! I hope that situation works it’s self out quickly! I have been a woodworker/cabinetmaker/furniture maker since 1986. I have seen and done probably about everything. That being said, I love watching your videos! Watching you gives me hope that it won’t become a lost art!!
Much appreciated Brian!

Thank you for sharing your time and talent! Sorry about your truck. Amazing as always, stay safe!
You work really neatly and elegantly. It's hard not to be respected. Thanks for your sharing.
Thank you
Thank you for showing your sanding finger mistake. Every time a popular woodworking channel shows these things it brings it back to the forefront of my mind. People often forget that it only takes a second and they just start getting complacent.
100%, thank you
what an awesome experience this is, entrepreneurship, live on UA-cam.
I remember seeing your old videos where you made these exact boards and you even mentioned how it changed your life over night with so many orders, And now This!!!! Hats off to you Sir, you turned hobby into business.
Once between these years I actually tried making one board my self with your design principles and with your video as guide but I failed hard, I only had a bandsaw to work with, plaining was hard for me and I just gave up.
Again big props and thanks a thousand times for the video series.
I’m thankful you were in the house when your truck got hit AND when the bear visited! Such a cool place you live, such a cool job, family, life! Thanks for sharing a part of it!!!
