I am looking at making one of these for something to try out. But its nice to see that your project had a few bumps in the road. So many videos on here show everything going perfect when I feel its good to show what can go wrong, like the burn on the wood and how to correct it.
Nice project - they turned out great in the end! The biggest culprit for the tear out on the miter saw is likely the large gap in the plate where the blade enters. A zero-clearance insert will support the cut edge of the wood, preventing almost all tear out. You may be able to get one for your particular saw, or you can try making one.
You did a great job on the boards. I am a big fan of having radius corners. They can be small to large. Not only are the more pleasing to the eye they can also prevent the corner from chipping if dropped of mishandled. Only a suggestion on my part.
Nice. Very nice. Good video and great explanation. Keep up the good work. Got my monthly ad from Woodcraft and the cheese slicer hardware on sale $13.99 for $8.99. Guess I'll have to buy a few, or 5 or 6!
Nice video. Now I want one. All that work and you didn't cut a piece of cheese though! Recommend testing on camera in the videos. I've never used this type. Hard to clean it where the wire goes in the slot?
Using just titebond and no titebond 3 that is waterproof will probably have your board come apart after a while of washing. Always use titebond 3 glue for any food prep projects
sanding hack - wet your wood before sanding the first time to "raise the grain". After these are washed the first time, they will get a rough texture ...
Once tear out happens, you can just stand a roundover to eliminate it. But if you put a sacrificial piece of wood UNDER the piece you're cutting, IT will get the tear out, not the good piece you're working on. Also, Cutting board oil is $10 for 16oz, regular old mineral oil is $6 for 24oz at CVS. Same stuff.
I had to check to be sure but the blade I have is 24 teeth. It's the blade that came with the saw though so I'm sure it isn't meant to be great quality.
Just a tip…You should really water pop the grain and re-sand, before applying oil.

I am about to do the same and make a cheese board cutter. Your no nonsense video has helped me a lot. Thank you

Didn't think of that. Great idea.
@@renovateyourmindYou can also use tape. Cover the slot with some blue tape or? Raise the blade and your good for a bit.
Nice! just bought the cheese cutters to make some cheese boards for my family nice work your tips will definitely help

These are beautiful!! Great job!
Thanks!
Very well done, good skills.

A doweling jig to make sure the hole is true. Genius. Just about to make a bunch of these.
Great vid man, keep it up!
Thank you!
They look great! Awesome. Tip: Use the router into the rotation of the cut instead of with it, if that makes sense? Keep up the good work! :)

I guess I'll find out over time. I agree I should have tested them out in the video. Thanks for watching!

Table Saw blade needs replacing or sharpening to prevent burning.
Kudos for showing the mistakes you made along the way. That’s the best way for others to avoid the same. Thanks for the video.
Too many teeth on your blade is a likely issue too. 24 teeth is plenty for a 10" rip blade.
I had to check to be sure but the blade I have is 24 teeth. It's the blade that came with the saw though so I'm sure it isn't meant to be great quality.
Burn marks sucks.
Flip your table saw blade around Looks like you have the teeth cutting in the wrong direction
