This cutting board was given to me and I love it. It is the last project my little brother completed before joining the angels in heaven. I still can't bring myself to cut on it (even though I know he would want me to). It sure looks beautiful as a charcuterie board. He would be happy to know so many of you found this video helpful! I miss you, Bro.
Oh my! I just finished watching and commenting on the video and scrolling thru the comments I found your note. I am terribly sorry for your loss. Your brother was truly talented and he did such a nice job explaining the process. While watching I was admiring his presentation and his admission of the mistakes made and what he did to correct them. I will say a prayer for you and your family. May your memories of your brother give you peace.🙏
Me too. Just found his video, and I really enjoyed his work. I subscribed and did the same-started reading the comments.. heart breaker. I’m sorry for your loss ma’am.
@kerihouston7501 my sincere condolences to you for the loss of your brother. He did a wonderful job on that board and you will, no doubt, cherish it forever. May he Rest In Peace.
No joke. Seriously, where's your dust collection for that thing muchless a respirator?? ESPECIALLY with walnut. That dust is going to cause some serious problems for you down the line. Walnut is really bad in that regard.
It looks beautiful. Thanks for the realistic (as in non-fluff and non-gimmicky) presentation. I appreciate it. Last night, 11 October 2023 A.D., I did some math to make a walnut counter top, and at about $3K, that's not happening, but it's still nice that other people can have beautiful things, lol.
Keri, sorry for your loss. I have watched many cutting board videos and this one is the most straight forward. Very clear explanation. So sorry that there won't be more like it.
Thank you. I don't wander onto this site too often, but seeing the video and the nice comments on his work is, at times, very comforting. He would be so happy to know that you enjoyed his work.
An outstanding video! There are dozens of end-grain chopping board videos on UA-cam - but yours is the first that I have found that gives detailed information on dimensions. That was really useful. Congratulations on building a superb board. You sister must be delighted!
Great job! Here's a tip I've picked up on gluing, stack same pieces together vs alternating them. This will allow you to glue all the bricks at once and all the mortar at once. This saves a ton of time on glue up. Then no worries of glue sag. Hope that helps and thanks for making such a great video!
Beautiful. Good idea to spray board with water to raise the grain between sandings and to soak the board in a oil bath after. Saw it on another channel.
Your brick wall cutting board turned out beautiful and I'm in the process of doing two of them as we speak! One cherry with maple and the other cherry with walnut border! I've made many cutting boards and if I MAY make a big suggestion too you! IF you want that baby butt smooth finish, JUST PRIOR to putting on the oil, WET IT DOWN with water, ( This raises the fiber in the wood) than go back re- sand with 220 or 320 grit, Than put the oil on!! GUARENTEED SUPER SMOOTH FINISH!! When you put the oil on I could actually see and hear the fibers raising as you put the oil on! Try it, you will be much more satisfied!! This process also STOPS the wood from getting rough feeling after its first hand wash! Thanks for the video, Great job, new sub!! 👍
Thank you for adding a visual diagram of your cut list! Along with taking the "chess board" approach while making the brick pattern. Opposed to making a bunch of small little cuts.
I love these videos. They are all like: “build this yourself! Oh yeah if you have a 2,000 sq ft shop - a planer, a jointer, and about 15 other tools! Good luck, beginners!!!
i REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO. YOU SEEM TO BE THE ONLY BUTCHER BLOCK MAKER THAT GIVES MEASUREMENTS FOR THE DIFFERENT CUTS, LIKE THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A COPY OF THE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS?
Really great video. Thanks for doing that. I think we are all concerned that long term, the dust exposure you are getting from that drum sander could have negative consequences for your lungs and health.
Super nice cutting board, great work, But dude get some dust collection on that drum sander, a few years down the road you'll wish you did..Harbor Freight makes one for a couple of hundred that works just as good as any.
Very nice project. In fact, I think your procedure was the most concisely explained of all the brick pattern end-grain boards I've seen on here... The only detraction was your dust collection and mask (or lack thereof)... Otherwise, well done!
Very nice, thanks. You did a good job of explaining. I've watched a few videos on brick style cutting boards that seemed to gloss over how they get the thin wide "mortar" strips and you helped to explain! I'll be making one quite soon with paduak bricks and maple mortar.
How do you like your grizzly drum sander? I'm always seeing the super max sanders. This is the first time I have seen someone using a grizzly drum sander.
@MakerCK awesome cutting board, question: after the first glue up how think did you cut the strips (thickness) and as well the maple (thickness) Thank you.
FYI. Cleaning down a butchers block can involve washing then sprinkling salt on the surface which is then used as an antibacterial abrasive. The board should be scrubbed or scraped. Also making them lighter since it will predominantly be used by persons wh🤔o are not accustomed to shifting large pieces of lumber. Perhaps measuring the width of a kitchen sink or basin before before calculating the dimensions of a kitchen board.
Just a quick question. What are the size of the rough wood before cutting. Btw your website link isnt working. Im assuming they are close to 60 inch boards.
good video and nice project I gotta ask when you were using the table saw, what was that green box with the two handles used for? I don't think I ever saw one before.
Great video. Quick question about the wax paper. Whats the reason for it when you glued and clamped it? Is it so that the clamp doesn't get glue on it? Might be a dumb question but im not sure what the answer is so im asking. Either way, great video
Anyone have any ideas on how to flatten the second set of maple strips? I don't have a drum sander but I do have a 13 inch planer, but if I put them through they will go through cross grain. Should I place on a flat plywood board and put them through my planer diagonally?
Very nice. I found it easier to buy a plastic container, a gallon of mineral oil and drop the Board in and let it soak. And after the first sanding spray water on the board to raise the grain then hit it with 320 or 400 grit. Smooth as glass. Nice shop. Envious of planer, bandsaw, drum sander. Do you prefer one brand over another? I see Jet Laguna Grizzly
I feel the same way about the sander dust. Surprised some who seems as organized as he is would do that. Black Walnut dust is not good for you to be breathing. Otherwise, enjoyable video.

Wonderful build! Thanks. Though my lungs hurt just watching that drum sander throw the dust into the air...
No joke. Seriously, where's your dust collection for that thing muchless a respirator?? ESPECIALLY with walnut. That dust is going to cause some serious problems for you down the line. Walnut is really bad in that regard.
Totally agree!
I Though the same, No lungs support all that dust. But he did a great work. Thumbs up for him.
As soon as I saw all that dust I headed straight to the comment section 😂😂
found this in my feed, and instantly went to the comments to say something.
He was a very talented man and what a beautiful work of art. I am sorry for your loss🙏. My deepest Condolences to you and your Family.
It looks beautiful.

Im a 70 year old retired Mason, so you know I have to make one.

I certainly am; it is beautiful. I hope you found the video useful and attempted your own cutting board project!
One of the nicest end grain cutting boards I've seen!! Well done!!

Looks great this will be my next project
Great video- I’m ready to start my own

I like the recap and suggestions
Thank you for adding a visual diagram of your cut list! Along with taking the "chess board" approach while making the brick pattern. Opposed to making a bunch of small little cuts.
You did a fantastic job. Beautiful design an color combo.
Great job and thank you for taking the time to explain your process as you went along!
Just love those boards after u set grain patterns and they r all alike, nice work
Great video, thank you. You need a dust collection system!
I love these videos. They are all like: “build this yourself! Oh yeah if you have a 2,000 sq ft shop - a planer, a jointer, and about 15 other tools! Good luck, beginners!!!
Just Beautiful!
LOVE the nice big size of the cutting board!!
That came out great. I want to make one but didn't realize how involved the process was. Thank you for sharing a great teaching video.
Beautiful board! Thanks for the tips! (Although, I can’t believe you don’t use dust collection for the thickness sander!!!!)
Nor does he use a dust mask. He might have lung issues later in life!
Great build, I want to try that design. Thanks for the detailed instructions and the follow-up comments, it really helps us newbies👍👍
Beautiful beautiful thanks for the measurements
1/2 cove bit on the bottom edge also makes a nice finger hold
Looks great a lot of good information in the video 👍
i REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO. YOU SEEM TO BE THE ONLY BUTCHER BLOCK MAKER THAT GIVES MEASUREMENTS FOR THE DIFFERENT CUTS, LIKE THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A COPY OF THE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS?
hi brilliant and well explained video . could you tell me the final length of the finished board compared to what you started with at 25" cheers
Nice cutting board. That pattern is my best seller.
You did a great job. But please use dust collection at least on that sander and a respirator.
Great project. Have you ever thought about throwing in a piece of cherry or padauk to give it a more realistic brick wall effect?
Really great video. Thanks for doing that. I think we are all concerned that long term, the dust exposure you are getting from that drum sander could have negative consequences for your lungs and health.
why do you not have a riving knife on your table saw? just curious because you seem very experienced but ive never seen people remove theirs before
Super nice cutting board, great work, But dude get some dust collection on that drum sander, a few years down the road you'll wish you did..Harbor Freight makes one for a couple of hundred that works just as good as any.
Turned out so nice. Great instructions for a great build, thanks for sharing.
Very nice project. In fact, I think your procedure was the most concisely explained of all the brick pattern end-grain boards I've seen on here...
The only detraction was your dust collection and mask (or lack thereof)...
Otherwise, well done!
O melhor vídeo que assisti!
Very nice, thanks. You did a good job of explaining. I've watched a few videos on brick style cutting boards that seemed to gloss over how they get the thin wide "mortar" strips and you helped to explain! I'll be making one quite soon with paduak bricks and maple mortar.
@@1031Investing yep! That happened. Turned out nice, but padauk dust everywhere, hard to get it of the maple end grain. Still, nice!
you really need some type of dust collection!
Thanks man. Nice vid
How do you like your grizzly drum sander? I'm always seeing the super max sanders. This is the first time I have seen someone using a grizzly drum sander.
This looks great. Would a belt sander be suitable replacement for the drum sander?
Dude you should definitely have dust extraction and a mask for that sander honestly that's not good for your lungs. Beautiful board though
Try sprayingv with water after sanding then hitting again with a 220
I was thinking of edge grain brick pattern. Using scraps because large wood stock is hard to come by here for end grain mortar. What do you think???
Oh man. Your lungs! But the board was a beauty.
Nice job
Are you happy with the grizzly drum sander? I’m looking to add one and the one you used seemed to do a good job.
Did you use all of the maple you cross cut ?
Great video but that Dust 😱 you need a Rz mask at least that’s very bad for your lungs
@MakerCK awesome cutting board, question: after the first glue up how think did you cut the strips (thickness) and as well the maple (thickness)
Thank you.
what brand and model is that drum sander?
FYI. Cleaning down a butchers block can involve washing then sprinkling salt on the surface which is then used as an antibacterial abrasive. The board should be scrubbed or scraped. Also making them lighter since it will predominantly be used by persons wh🤔o are not accustomed to shifting large pieces of lumber. Perhaps measuring the width of a kitchen sink or basin before before calculating the dimensions of a kitchen board.
Nice video and good job but Wow you use a lot of glue.
Какое черное дерево лучше использовать в торцовочных досках?
Why use a sled rather than the fence for ripping?
Parabéns ficou linda
Does stain like that work on toy ducks as well?
Thanks for watching big bro! As kids, we built 1000s of wooden toy push ducks for the family business. I still have nightmares about it. 😅🤣😂
Magnifique
Just a quick question. What are the size of the rough wood before cutting. Btw your website link isnt working. Im assuming they are close to 60 inch boards.
good video and nice project I gotta ask when you were using the table saw, what was that green box with the two handles used for? I don't think I ever saw one before.
I believe it was a featherboard
Great video. Quick question about the wax paper. Whats the reason for it when you glued and clamped it? Is it so that the clamp doesn't get glue on it? Might be a dumb question but im not sure what the answer is so im asking. Either way, great video
It just helps keep everything clean and from sticking together. Gluing quickly becomes messy. Thanks for watching!
Also good for keeping something you're gluing from being permanently stuck to your work bench 😂
hey man that is lovely, quick question if u dont mind. the maple running horizontal isn't end grain its just the wall nut?
That was my interpretation after watching this as well. Not sure if the end user would be picky about this being advertised as end grain
Did you learn the drill bit technique from Colin Knecht from Word Work Web?
Who cares where we learned it. We all help each other. Nice job and excellent vid!
Anyone have any ideas on how to flatten the second set of maple strips? I don't have a drum sander but I do have a 13 inch planer, but if I put them through they will go through cross grain. Should I place on a flat plywood board and put them through my planer diagonally?
No dust extraction on the drum sander lol.. shocking 😄 no mask either wow!
Very nice. I found it easier to buy a plastic container, a gallon of mineral oil and drop the Board in and let it soak. And after the first sanding spray water on the board to raise the grain then hit it with 320 or 400 grit. Smooth as glass. Nice shop. Envious of planer, bandsaw, drum sander. Do you prefer one brand over another? I see Jet Laguna Grizzly
Nice when you have a $ million worth of tools. Pretty non the less.
Put a water ĺine àround the tpp
Just adding to the pile; please invest in a dust collector and a respirator!!!
Belo trabalho parabéns
What bandsaw are you using? And what hp and blade?
quite a big flaw in that, first time someone washes it, its gonna get rough as hell.,
No dust collection on your drum sander?😶🌫️
So pleased I'm not your lungs! Lots of nice machinery I would make your next investment a dust collector system though!!
Why do you need to make such a large maple slab.
Dust extractor!
Pro tip: glue then take lunch break
I feel the same way about the sander dust. Surprised some who seems as organized as he is would do that. Black Walnut dust is not good for you to be breathing. Otherwise, enjoyable video.
felt like my computer table got filled by dust from your workshop... get a dust collector!
I dont think you use enough glue
More action, less words. It is better to see once than to hear 100 times. Russian proverbs.
what were the end dimensions?
My God, get some dust collection going on that drum sander! You're going to kill your lungs!
Nice but get some dust collection on that drum sander, yuck!
For the sake of your loved ones, please address your dust collection problem.
You seriously need some dust extraction
love it but PLEASE use some dust collection and masks!! You're lungs are going to be hell in a just a few years!
Nice informative video but dude, get a dust collection system, or at least a good fan and a dust mask. Wood dust is a carcinogen!!
Dust collection is for sissies😐
My brother (who made this video) would have gotten a good chuckle from your comment. Cheers!
You must hate your lungs and breathing easy.
This music makes it unbearable to watch. Id rather you narrate. Just a suggestion.
Dude. Dust collection. You trying to get cancer? Nice cutting board but you're really playing with fire.
The board turned out beautiful! the vacuum cleaner must be turned on) Otherwise, it is dangerous to work with mahogany without a vacuum cleaner.
