Building a End grain cutting board and adding Inlays
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 кві 2022
- In this video, we'll make two custom end grain cutting boards out of walnut! Then to give them an extra pop we'll try our hand at some CNC inlays! This was a fun process and I learned a TON about inlays along the way! If you have any cutting board or CNC inlay questions let me know down below! I'll do my best to answer them.

@@TwoMooseDesign WHATS THE NAME OF THE CNC MACHINE YOU USED
@@jorgerosas6464 ITS A ONEFINITY JOURNEYMAN
@@TwoMooseDesignmusic is a nice touch. Great video I’ll be following.
I really really really want to learn how to do these, if you consider making another video on the cnc cad/cam I would really appreciate it! Amazing video as always 🤙🏼
I’ll definitely do more 🙌🏼
You can check my tutorial: Deep inlays VCarving detailed tutorial with Vectric VCarve

assuming mistakes and not being ashamed, not only helps those who have the same type of activity, but also demonstrates moral integrity... CONGRATULATIONS
Thanks for watching!
so....i fond u a few days ago. i been thinking none stop about wood. i have a few CNC tables that i been doing metal on. but just life now i have the cnc tables but no place to cut metal. but i have a large old 120year old barn that was passed on to me and my wife in the last 6 mouths. so i have been looking what to do with this cnc sutff and man i love watching you CH u have gave me a new idea with this wood stuf!!!! lol love it !
Glad to hear! You got this 💪🏼
Thanks for sharing all the mistakes. This process can be challenging at times. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Please add more CNC inlay work. Thank you
I’m trying! Lol I have a few coming up I’m going to record
Killer! I like this format!!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
What a beautiful way to honor the memory of your grandfather!! These are a meaningful and priceless gift for your mother and uncle. Epic result!!
Can you please please please do an in depth video on the techno CNC stuff....
- All the bits needed for each particular step.
- Pass Depth/Cut Depth/RPM/Feed Rate/etc.
I’m brand new to the process and am trying to learn. Thank you!
Awesome job! Broinwood would be proud…
Thank you 🙏🏼
This video does a great job of showing how CNC is not "easy" and IS real woodworking as much as someone using a table saw. The precision involved in getting all those cuts to perfectly line up is daunting, and this video showed that even someone with a good amount of experience can struggle with it. Nice work!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
I too really really want to learn how to do these.
I make boards for family and friends as gifts. But this inlay scares me as i am afraid of the inlay failing.
Help would be great! Lessons learned and cutting depth and bit choice is needed. Ill never be in competition with the pros, but family and friends will be impressed 😁😁
Please make a video and spec sheet as needed.
Thanks
Doug
Cut some dowel holes for alignment. Huge job. Thanks for video.
If you make more of these videos, especially with the good voice over explaining what is going on at the technical level (and the CAD/CAM too!) I will watch and like every single one.
Also, really enjoyed the quality of the up close shots of the bits/carving
Thanks! I’ll definitely make more, I’ll see how technical I can get, people get bored pretty fast 😆
These turned out so cool! And great that you could use the lumber for your grandpa for something special.
Thanks Bruce!
Thanks for video, really enjoyed it, especially like the fact that you list links to all the bits and tools you used. Looking forward to more of your videos in the future
That was awesome. Love seeing your progress as I am working on inlays as well. Is just a really special touch. You all are amazing
Thanks! We appreciate you following along 😁
I was fortunate that the algorithm sent me to your video. Great work! I will be trying this inlay technique with my DIY CNC in the future!
They came out beautifully!!
Thank you!
Really beautiful cutting boards. Thanks for sharing the video
Thanks for watching!
Nice work! Would love to learn more about the entire process. Just getting into the cnc world and want to learn as much as I can from folks like yourself. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! I’ll definitely post more inlays 🙌🏼
Looks great, keep making these videos, I do inlays using my 1F as well using a tapered ball nose bit. That has always given me the best results.
And they don’t break so easy like those fine detail bits
Yes, inlay cuttingboards are great. Keep 'em coming! Thanks
Thanks! I will
Yes pleas do more of this! More detail would help explain it. Maybe just one in-depth video that you could forward on to those who ask questions in the future. Love the look on these boards!
Definitely will!
wow, great design! I paused the video on both boards and couldn't tell where the "oopsie" was at. great work
Thanks! 🙌🏼
They look great! Definitely would like to see more on inlays!
Thanks! Definitely will!
Great job. You do some good work. Can't wait to see more. Very informative and right to the point. Wouldn't mind seeing your press. I use some hand clamps and a board to apply even pressure. Nothing this complicated. Keep it up.
That’s how I did my first few! It’s an automotive press, sold a few boards and bought one and thanks!
Yeah excellent job. I am very interested in learning more about inlay creation, Thanks
Great job! The video is very inspiring. I look forward to the next one!
Thanks! I still have lots to learn! It’s a fun process, I’ll definitely post more 🙌🏼
those boards are beautiful! great job.
Solid work! I just did my first wood inlay cutting board on the CNC. Definitely room for improvement. The way you explained the challenges you faced along the way, bits used, and your general process is very helpful!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it
WOW those look awesome I'd love to see more of these
Thanks! I’ll have to come up with some more advanced designs 🙌🏼
Great work! Glad you are able to show mistakes. Valuable learning experience for us as well.
thanks for watching!
Looks really good 👍
Thanks! Learned a lot!
Gorgeous work!
Thank you!
Strive for simple beauty. Love your channel.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Well done, phantastic boards.
Thanks!!
This is awesome as always, great work.
Thanks!
Totally AMAZING!!
That's so cool how you do the inlays!
Thanks!!
Glad to see another video from you guys!
Thanks! Should be posting more often now 🙌🏼
very nice! Would definitely love more cnc content. Just starting with inlays too and had not thought to use a tapered ball nose bit , will have to give it a go!
It doesn’t break super easy like the fine v bits 🙌🏼
Great video and the boards look amazing. looking forward to pushing my limits with my onefinity. Keep the videos coming.
Doooo it! It’s a fun journey
Omg! I absolutely loved watching this process! I got a CNC for my Woodshop class (high school) and I know that some of my more advanced students would love to try something like this. I would 100% be interested in seeing more of the programming side of things if you were to post that kind of content. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Working on another video like this now 🙌🏼
@@TwoMooseDesign awesome! I’ll be keeping an eye for when it comes out!
Beast of a planer! You are nailing these inlays too. Man. Looks so good.
Thanks! They have been whooping my but for weeks lol
@@TwoMooseDesign I have noticed! I haven’t run the CNC for two weeks.
Look great I am still not there yet but love to see more help Thanks Rod
Thanks! You'll get there just keep practicing!
Outstanding guys! Alot of work for a beautiful board!
Thank you!
I have a CNC, but have never tried inlays. This is very inspiring! Thanks!
@@jeffmueller9422 they are fun and very challenging!
Great job, love the boards and videos like this are great. Just bought an Xfinity cnc, haven't unboxed it yet or decided what software I'm gonna use but these types of boards are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I use v carve pro and easel. Definitely v carve pro if you plan on doing inlays
@@TwoMooseDesign thanks. I bought the stand as well because I'm gonna use it in my garage shop which is small. I'll def check out vcarve. Thanks
Very nice. One observation. Ignore it if it’s not relevant. Because of the visual gap between the plug and surface of the board, it appears you may be leaving too great a glue pocket. On cutting boards in particular, this can lead to inlay cracking. For anyone that is interested, a vacuum bag method of “clamping” is extraordinary. Very clean and no mess. Even pressure on all parts of the plug big or small.
I've very interested in learning how to create this process for myself. Just got my 1F CNC up and running and I'm eager to learn new ways to use it.
Nice! That’s exciting! Inlays can be tough!
Very nice work. There is a lot to learn to this type of inlay or the multicolor epoxy inlays, but the end result is worth it.
Agreed! And thanks
Absolutely love these boards and this video. They turned out perfect. I would love more info on how you program the inlays!
I’ll definitely have to make like a beginner guide, most of the videos I watched just left me more confused than when I started 😆
@@TwoMooseDesign #truth Thanks for helping out us beginners!
@@grumpywoodchucker it’s harder than it looks! Not only do you have to learn the Cnc and bits you dang near have to learn graphic design lol
Great video. I share the same experience with the cnc Inlay work. There is nothing east about it. From digital design to toolpath generation to material prep. It’s all a challenge. I really like your style. Great video!
-Ben
Totally agree! I didn’t realize I would need to become a graphic designer 😆 thanks 👊🏼
@@TwoMooseDesign vectric vcarve made me feel like a computer idiot in the beginning
@@benrudman3917 yeah lol so many buttons! I primarily use illustrator for design but same thing, it’s allllot right away
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Those turned out amazing! Nice work. You're the only one who sees the mistakes!
You’re probably right! I just like to show them so people know everything isn’t perfect and it’s okay to mess up lol
Great Job!
Thanks!
Just found your channel. Great work. Only one thing I would question though.... Who would ever
use these works of art as a cutting board? Hope to see more.
Cheers
Hey Jef Awesome job and a lot of work! Re: music, I think it's better than shop sounds, and it's a good track, doesn't take away from the vibe or distract. I like these kind of in depth multi stage projects/content so I say if you like doing them, more is better. Keep up the great work! -JR
Thanks! Yeah we have head phones on all day to block out the loud machines 😆 ill definitely do more videos I enjoy making the boards, the deep detailed inlays are complex especially when you ad multiple layers
Love the CNC inlay work. Can you go more into the technical details?
For just being your second attempt cutting out these types of cutting boards you sure did an outstanding job! Enjoyed the video!! Would diffidently would like to see a video showing the process from designing in software, setting up tool paths and the the cnc machining!!!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Beautiful boards. I do end grain inlays myself, so I know the challenges you refer to. The slight variation from one 12.5 bit to the next, even from the same manufacturer, can leave the tiniest of gaps. Trial and error is the only method that works for me. When I see a video that says "perfect inlays every time" I cringe a little bit, but I still watch
I would love to see more content like this. I plan on trying a more complex inlay using multiple species of wood, seeing you just go for it is inspirational.
Yeeesss awesome comment, exactly! People ask my numbers for the inlays but there’s no magic number 🤷🏼♂️ yeah a lot of the videos I watched trying to learn just confused me more
@@TwoMooseDesign My favorite inlay work is from Broinwood. They make amazing boards, but don't even try to explain the bits, speeds and feeds, etc... Having another source of quality inlay work is always welcome. As I said, those are beautiful boards, and having sentimental value makes them even more special. I find it informative and relaxing to watch the process with nice background music.
@@michaelmartin1835 I agree! I believe he puts some info in the description but yeah to the point not many details on process
Nice work!
Thanks!
So nice!!!
Thanks!
Amazing!!
Thanks!!
your machine looks rock solid. mine struggles to do large doc. probably user error lol. your boards look amazing. you should do a series on making inlays, i would watch the hell out of that!
Thanks! You’re probably going far to fast for your ipms not sure what machine you have, I’ll definitely make more!
Would like to see a video on the design and how you went about in the computer. I’m wanting to try these on my CNC but have no idea where to start.
I definitely will eventually
Looks good.... I been wanting to try and do a big inlay just haven't found the wood keep it up brother...
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video!! Have you thought about using alignment dowels in the back side of the cutting board and into the spoil board? I use this concept for repeatability all the time.
Thanks! I’ll look into that thanks
I love the boards they looked fantastic,
The question I have do you sell them on a web sight,
Plus yes it would be great to see more boards made like this.
That’s a very complex question lol learning to sell items is generally a lot harder than learning to make them
These came out amazing. Great work! I'd love to see more like this! Doing inlays is something I would love to start doing with my 1F. I haven't been able to find any good tutorials. Any recommendations?
Those videos are tough to digest, most of them are pretty confusing. I learned from broinwood. He also just put out a course on getting a good inly fit. I’ll do one eventually but I really want to “master” it before I do anything in depth.
These turned out great. I have tried twice for endgrain inlays. First one shifted on me and the 2nd the glue never dried(impatient). Would love to see/heard some of your settings for the tool paths and setup
Do you clamp the plug or it’s not needed?
Wow, the is a beautiful board. Any chance you could share the bit settings in your tool datasets? Not feeds and speeds but how you set it up up for D, A, R and tool type? I can't seem to get it set up correctly.
This was a joy to watch I would imagine these must have taken you 1-2 weeks to produce,
The mistake you made I thought you recovered very well 👌,
Love the end product please keep making more it’s very entertaining and a marvel to watch,
Have you a web sight to buy things like you produce would be very interested in purchasing
Thanks! Yes they are very time consuming 😅😅 we do have a website with products! Twomoosedesign.com let us know we can always make custom orders
Very nice shop! Really nice build! I think if you do a shop tour, and explain some of your equipment and what you like and dislike about it, that would be good also! Nice job on the inlays with the CNC. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been meaning to do a tour for a while now 😅
@@TwoMooseDesign yeah no problem! I wish you the best of luck on your adventure and wish you success.
@@donaldmatthies6026 same goes to you!
I have Vcarve desktop version. I would love to see a video or just some pics on the software settings. Do you use the vcarve selection and if so what do you use as your clearance tool and finish tool . Your start depth and flat depth. Great work.
Dude, these turned out awesome! This is Gearsandfire btw. I'm working on another inlay currently and I can confidently say that I still haven't got it 100% yet 😃 I'm damn close.
I'll post my current inlay when it's done and hopefully get your thoughts.
Nice work man!
Hey! And thanks! Lots of practice! Even the clamping part is super important
These boards look amazing, whether first attempt, or if you had years of practice with the inlays. I like that there is a little bit of sapwood in the walnut gives it a nice little contrast. What are the other types of wood that you used? I am still learning myself, and want to expand the types of wood that I use. Great Job!
I agree I like a touch of sapwood 👌🏼 thanks for watching!
Thanks, would love to learn how to make inlays, do you have any videos show settings. Thank you again
Would like to see a more detailed how to on inlays
Definitely will!
Hey! You mentioned it is difficult to center the machine. You have two option to make your life easier. First is free, always center with a pointy endmill (like your 15deg endmill). Zero X and Y then swap endmills then zero Z. Second option is to program a way in your machine to zero itself with touch probe. This may not work for every machine so you have to look into it but this is the easiest and less prone to error.
Beautiful. Suggestions: Have a very stable X,Y fence or use dowels (many use pvc, I use wood dowells) that you reference in holes that the CNC drills. Zero the project at the machine zero point then go to your project zero point, RECORD the X,Y numbers. You can remove the project any time, do other work and then replace the project back in the machine using the fence, dowells, zero at your machine zero, proceed to the X,Y points you recorded earlier and you'll have a repeatable zero. Hopefully this is clear. Keep up the great work.
thanks for the tips!
Great work, definitely also interested in seeing the programming side of the CNC process. For the inlays how thick do you make the plugs pieces on average? Thanks
Thanks! I’m still experimenting but I made the blanks 5/8” and just bumped them up to 3/4” to hopefully get a more even clamping
Thanks
Great video. Thank you for sharing. A CNC related question. When you use the tapered ball nose bit does it not taper the sides and enlarge the opening as you go in deeper ? Also I would love to see more cnc inlay content. Thanks
Yes which is why you set the flat depth to ensure it’s the same throughout. Thanks!
Great boards they are Fing beautiful. I definitely would enjoy the CAM/CAD aspect. It looks like you changed your centers when you were cleaning back the inlays, so just curious on why?(you can save that for a video.) I'd also like to hear why you'd start from a certain Inlay and how you managed to keep your Z depth consistent in the future. Enjoy your videos, love how y'all just build and discuss the project as you go, Not a typical UA-camr who utilizes on the talking head transition. I also did enjoy the howl pun, intentional or not!
Hey! I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. My actual zero never changed. And as for what layer to start with its pretty much personal preference as long as it doesn’t mess with any of the other layers/inlays. I’m also learning and barely know what I’m doing so a lot of it is trial and error lol
I'm right there with you on being green to a CNC. Maybe I'm overthinking it but between inlays... You'd be changing out bits. How can you maintain that constant z depth between your female/male/clear/female/male/clear. I tend to loose my original Z depth along the way. Then resurface the whole board.
@@dustytrailsworkshop ohhhh I set a new z depth every carve and bit change
very nice work. Inlays are on my list to do but have not gotten the time to do them yet. Question when you are zeroing off the center, why are you not going from the corner so every time you have to remove the board and put it back on the bed the reference point will always be the corner?
I just prefer the center 🤷🏼♂️ I never liked using the corner, no real reason
Do you have a detailed video about how to do the inlay? On the software side? Thanks in advance.
Very nice work! I would definitely love to learn along with you however I am in the trial and error stage at the moment. I have the same machine and use vcarve pro as my software. Are you doing a vcarve operation with clearing bits or is it a pocketing operation? Do you go through your artwork and make all the sharp corners a radius? Thanks for the video and any answers you can provide.
I do v carve operation and I do modify the artwork
Killed it bro. Didn’t read all the comments, but wouldn’t xyz probing solved the alignment issues? At least that’s how I’ve been doing mine. Great work though
Thanks! and Sure it could definitely help, for me it was more so my shotty fence lol I'm not a huge fan of probes i haven't used one in a few years, i feel more precise when i do it manually. Its just personal preference though, i always recommend new users to get a probe.
Great work helpful video, hat font did you use I have trouble inlaying font due to it will not go deep enough.
You have to make sure the font is wide enough. I modify all the fonts I Inlay. If the bit raised up like that it creates a super weak point that won’t hold or crack out
love watching your videos
do you have a video or doing one on how to create the inlay on easel ideally. sorry if that's been asked already
Thanks! Easel only has pocket inlays, I do these in v carve pro. Check out the apps in easel and cut a few simple practice inlays!
@@TwoMooseDesign I need to learn v carve then in order to do more complex inlays, thanks again
@@garywilson3902 correct, it’s more forgiving with the tapered plug
Gorgeous work! Curious which design program you used?
Thanks! I use v carve pro for the inlays
more on inlay please. thanks.
will do!
Board looks great. Question - How do you create the thinner end grain boards for the inlay? Do you simply just glue up the thinner pieces? Is that not a nightmare gluing and clamping?
Same way I make the regular boards, I don’t have an issue just takes a little practice 😁
Butiful work. I would love to se more like this. And also see how you build op the file. What program do you ues
Thanks! I use V carve pro to create tool paths
When you’re running your carves do you run your clearing passes first and then your Vcarve last?
Doesn’t matter to me, if the v bits in there I’ll run that first but typically I’ll run the upcut first. Haven’t noticed much of a difference at all
Looks great, I usually get nervous towards the end. Will you let me know how you went about clamping the plugs? I tried using clamps as much as I could but the throat wasn’t deep enough to get to the center, I also tried using clamping calls but I wasn’t getting enough pressure. Will you let me know what you did? Thanks!
I used some super deep throat clamps from pony that have worked decent but I bought a press now, it takes a lot of practice to just understand the pressing/clamping of the plug itself. You can have a perfect plug but if you press it bad you’ll have all kinds of gaps.
@@TwoMooseDesign thank you for the reply. Agreed 100% about practice. I’ve done at least 5 inlays and the results ranged from good to having to scrap the whole thing.
I was thinking of a getting a press but wasn’t sure if it was worth the shop space. Thank you again!
Really nice work! I do have a question though. Rather than using a tapered ball nose bit shouldn't it be a sharp pointed engraving bit? You mentioned that you had some small gaps in the inlay. Perhaps that was because of the all nose.
There are many possible reasons for gaps. I get great results with a ball nose. This was one of my earlier boards. Check out @broinwood he uses a tapered ball nose as well. To me the tapered ballnose are far more durable than a 15 or 30 degree v bit
how do you have the tapered bit setup in vectric
Do you use the same cut depth as Brownwood
Great video. Did you use Easel on this project?
I did not, I use v carve pro for inlays
