Definitely need to make you a cross cut sled (much safer). Or at least rig up a stop block so you aren't cross cutting against the fence. The dowels are a nice touch and the end product looks great. Well done.
good looking board. the dowels look great. I agree with the previous comment about a sled tho. much safer then crosscutting and using the fence and you might want to lower the blade guard when using your bandsaw.
I too make a lot of cutting boards and do well selling them. The idea of the dowels, I like the look. Been thinking of doing that on a few for awhile now. will start a couple tomorrow.
Thanks! We're pretty fortunate here to have a lot of walnut available. It's a little more expensive that other types of wood, but it's nice to work with.
I wood make it except i wouldn't soak it in water to raise the grain.id wipe it with a wet rag soaking it allows the water to absorb inside causing rot and mold build up alot faster BUT then again I usually make a new cutting board every Christmas and throw the other one(s) out becuz after a yrs worth of use I'm sure theres mold and rot starting on the insides even if I just wipe it with a wet cloth this xmas I'm gonna resaw my old cutting board and see if there is
Nice work. I wanted to warn you about your cut at 1:53-... Trapping a board that way is dangerous. Try putting a stop block against the fence behind the blade as a gauge then when you make your cut the board has clearance between the fence and board.
Thanks, and you're right about trapping the board. It's probably not clear in the video, but I was using the fence just to approximate the length, and then I pulled the board way from the fence when cutting to leave a gap of about 1/8" to prevent it from getting trapped. You're right, though. It was still dangerous.
Wood U Make It Thanks for your reply to my comment. I am a high voltage Lineman and safety is at the top for me and helping others be safe is something we do constantly at my work. I just wanted you to keep safe so that you could keep making stuff.
+CHICAGOHAND I really appreciate the feedback. I definitely don't want to promote unsafe work habits, so I'll try to keep that in mind while recording.
You do great work. We have a safety program at work where we go out and observe our peers and give them feedback on their work practices. Good and bad. I believe it can be very effective because those observing do the same work and while observing they are looking at the work from a different perspective. It works as long as they both are willing to be open to the process. Keep the videos coming my friend.
I love how everyone filming cutting board tutorials says just use your scrap wood. That's great if you are a seasoned woodworker and have a bunch of hard wood laying around. Most of us don't have this.
Nothing wrong with buying a wood for a project like this if you don't have scraps. But many people that do have scraps are looking for ways to use them up. It's a nice callout to include in a video if a project is an especially good way to use them up!
It appears that we have the same harbor freight dust collector. Kinda disappointed in mine. It works very well connected to the Dewalt planer (we have the same) but the suction is very weak and I haven't figured out how to make it effective for my lathe, where I do most of my work. I empty the bag when it gets about 4" full but it does not improve the suction power. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Sorry to hear that your dust collector is not working well for you. Mine has been working fine. I bought it because of my drum sander that needs a minimum of 600 CFM, and this dust collector pulls about 1500 CFM. The amount of dust in your bag shouldn't impact the flow very much, so it's likely something else that's causing the problem. Do you have only a single hose connected to help isolate the problem? Have you checked the hose to make sure there are no air leaks and to make sure it's attached well at each end? Are you using it in conjunction with a cyclone separator? If so, try detaching that and see if it helps. It could be that the cyclone does not have a good seal around the top. If you've already checked those things, I guess it's possible that you have a defective unit. The only issue I've had with the dust collector is that it was leaking a lot of air and dust around the top of the plastic bag back into my shop and it was creating a big mess. I solved that by adding automotive weatherstripping around the top to provide a good seal: amzn.to/2M25yuP It works much better after doing that.
Well Done Mike, I enjoyed all 3 parts of the videos. I think looks wise the 3rd one was easily the best, but for Simplicity and Usefulness i would go with the End Grain one. I was going to ask you why do you do your Glue Ups in a tower style? It would be easier laying in down. Then what do you go and do in this Part,? Lay it Flat Down ha ha. Try using a roller to spread the glue when flat, that way you still get a good all over cover, but in less time. Well Done Again Mike. TC, Barry (Eng)
Thanks, Barry. I stacked the boards only while gluing so that the glue doesn't drip all over the table, and then I lay them down to clamp them up. I think you're right that I'd be better off with a roller. One day I'll remember to buy one.
4+ months later - Did u buy one yet? Lol. Im about to watch this one rt now, & then check out some others of yours, having a feeling that I'll prob be subscribing to you. I'll rdport again soon. Thanks for sharing, & have a good one. Aloha
Hello I'm pretty new to the hobby and came across your channel, great stuff BTW I had a question I noticed you used your miter Guage and fence but didn't see a stop block on the fence side I thought it was an unwritten rule, again I'm a beginner and not making criticism just curious thanks
I actually wasn't running the wood against the fence, but it doesn't look like that on the video. I should have explained that I was using the fence as a guide just to approximate the length, but I had the wood pulled away from the fence by about 1/4". You're absolutely right, though. You should never have the wood touching the fence when using a miter gauge.
I've thought about doing it, but haven't given it a try yet. I'm not sure if I would simply do it with an edge guide and be careful at the corners or if I would need to build a more elaborate jig to eliminate the possibility for error.
New to woodworking -- I do not have a jointer to make the edges nice and straight. I do have a handheld block plane and I can sand it. Would this be sufficient do you think?
It might be challenge with a block plane because it doesn't have a very long sole. There are other ways to mill the wood if you don't have a jointer, and you can probably find a few methods by searching on UA-cam. Here's one method from John Heisz that you might want to try. ua-cam.com/video/KgS09hx7kmk/v-deo.html
I'm pretty new to woodworking, especially joinery. I'm amazed that the glue is sturdy enough to hold it all together. I had assumed these were assembled with biscuit joints. Is there a risk the assembly would break apart if someone dropped it onto a hard surface?
I'm curious to know which type of cutting board you prefer? Which do you use in your kitchen. I just subscribed. I love your work and your style of explanation.
It's hard to pick a favorite because I like each type for various reasons. I guess that's my most politically correct answer. 😀 I can get some stunning grain patterns with face grain cutting boards, but they tend to warp unless they're thick enough. They're also the easiest to make. The edge grain boards can be visually appealing when mixing a variety of woods, but they're harder on the knives. End grain cutting boards are the most labor intensive to make, but they're easier on the knives, have a self-healing feature, and they will last forever if properly taken care of. If I had to choose one that's best for use in the kitchen, it would be the end grain cutting board. To me, it's worth the extra effort. Thanks for subscribing!
I jointed the edge first because the material was a little wider than 6". By jointing the edge, I was able to get it down to 6" so that it would fit through the jointer when jointing the face. The material was thick enough that I wasn't too worried about my fingers. For anything thinner I would have used a push stick. It's a valid concern, though. Safety is very important in the shop.
I don't think it will cause the board to split. It's more likely that the fibers in the dowel will just be compressed more. It's a common practice to use dowels to attach breadboard ends on cutting boards and tables, where the grain of the dowel is oriented perpendicular to the grain in the table top, so I don't think it will be an issue. Good question, though.
Man, you make great stuff. I like following your channel but I couldn't help cringe during the jointer and the cross cut of that sipo wood on the table saw. =(
It ended up being 18" x 10 1/12" x 1 1/4". You can view several other styles that I've made, with measurements, on my website here: www.woodumakeit.com/cuttingboards
@@greengateacreshomestead4324 His use of the jointer, table saw, and band saw in this video are all extremely risky and his lack of injury is probably attributable more to luck than skill. There are folks here on youtube who have lost fingers by feeding a piece through the jointer exactly as he did here-- hand close to the blade without a push stick. I think the scariest part though is when he pushes a piece on the miter gauge with the piece riding along the fence... all without a riving knife in place. If the piece gets caught on the fence and the contact angle against the blade changes, that piece will go flying towards his nuts at up to 150mph. Kickback is real and dangerous. If you don't recognize the dangers in this video, you should probably brush up on some shop safety training.
@@rypaz87 Thank you, I think everyone should do as they please " their body their choice ". Please don't assume anything about me, it would be much appreciated. Such a safety generation. Also if you notice Paul is making a comment on how scary the guy is, so I was not sure what was scary about him.
@@greengateacreshomestead4324 Paul is referring to his lack of basic safety precautions, and again, if you don't see that, you have no business operating machinery. Yes everyone is free to lob off digits and limbs if they so please, but I think anyone posting vids with access to nearly a million sets of eyes has a responsibility to demonstrate proper form to those who would like to keep their digits but don't know how. Why are you so defensive about bad technique? And what do you mean by "such a safety generation"? What does injury prevention have to do with one's generation and which generation are you assuming I come from?
I am making an end grain cutting board for my brother for his wedding, and I am wondering how I can figure out if the wood I am using is food-safe. The woods I used are the woods that were available at my local lumber yard that looked good: maple and red balau ("mahogany" decking, similar to ipe, here: www.wood-database.com/balau/). Any thoughts on whether or not the resulting board will be able to be used? Or should I pick a different wood?
Thanks for your question. The Wood Database is a GREAT resource and I'm so glad that it's available to us! I'm not 100% sure about red balau, but it doesn't appear to be toxic based on the limited amount of information I could find. The Wood Database has a useful list of woods and their toxicity, which can be found here: www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/. Unfortunately balau is not on the list. I think bacteria is generally a greater risk than the toxicity of the wood itself. I bet that a cutting board made with maple and balau will look really nice. Good luck with your build!
Thanks so much! I actually copy/pasted the comment from another video that has no replies and I have finished the cutting board. It does look pretty awesome if I don't say so myself :)
yes i wood make it. its very nice! i like the dowels adds a nice touchmi just did an endgrain cutting board video today.just subscribedm and I don't know if you subscribe to other woodworking channels but I would love to have you aboard mine I look forward to seeing what you do and what you have done have a good one
Wood U Make It oh..ok..haha! Thanks man! Next one i make i gonna use the dowels in the sides..now does that do anything for it ?or is it more for cosmetics?tha ks again welcome aboard!🖒🖒
Jesus man, you need to take some safety precautions. You obviously have never experienced a table saw kickback, otherwise you'de never used the fence for crosscutting.
BTW: I saw where you replied to others about using the fence to approximate the length. It doesn't matter! it's still an unsafe practice and the 1/16 or so you have it away from the fence could easily bind as you start to remove the stock. Too many moving parts and your hands are having to perform two operations close to the blade. I respect that you do great work but you also have a responsibility around best practices.
Thanks for your comment. I think there's a misconception about what I was doing due to the camera angle. I had the fence there just to estimate the length of the wood, and then I pulled it away from the fence about 1/4" so that there would be little chance of kickback. I realize after the the fact that I shouldn't have done that on a video because it could promote unsafe practices for less experienced woodworkers. In more recent videos, I'm always sure to use a stop block clamped to my fence and try to take time to explain why I'm doing that.
I decided not to watch this video because you said edge grain was harder on knives. That is not true at all. Edge grain is actually better for knives and keeps them sharper longer. Look it uo.
I'm really really surprised you are /were using a table saw with NO riving knife! I've watched are fair bit, (I made the Urn that you made for your Aunt, but mine was for my wife). I'm hoping bc this was an old video that you have upgraded by now!🤔🤔🫣.
That was an older Ridgid saw that did not support a riving knife. I did buy a splitter that I had intended to install, but I ended up selling the saw and upgrading to a cabinet saw back in 2018. The new saw has a riving knife, which is a nice safety feature.
It's a miracle this guy still has all of his fingers...wowza
4:14 Oh shit! you're not wrong!
Cutting a long thin using both the miter and the fence while saw has no riving knife? My God man.
😂😂😂😂
crosscut jig and fence dont really go together
Definitely need to make you a cross cut sled (much safer). Or at least rig up a stop block so you aren't cross cutting against the fence. The dowels are a nice touch and the end product looks great. Well done.
That made my anxiety skyrocket!!
Yes. Perfect
I've watched many cutting board videos, I like this one because of the side grooves. Smart trick!

I like how you used those wood blocks at the bottom for glue up. Seems like it would be more flat surface area.
Yes, the blocks help to raise it up off the bench to make it easier to clamp while still keeping everything aligned and flat.

You don’t crosscut pinned against your fence the wood could kickback into your family jewels.

@@Woodumakeit good answer.lol
wouldn't those dowels cause splitting because of the differing grain direction / expansion?
I don't think it will cause the board to split. It's more likely that the fibers in the dowel will just be compressed more.

I realize after the the fact that I shouldn't have done that on a video because it could promote unsafe practices for less experienced woodworkers. In more recent videos, I'm always sure to use a stop block clamped to my fence and try to take time to explain why I'm doing that.
it's funny I watched this and did not find anything scary about it lol
How many fingers do you have today?
@@rypaz87 All of them and I use the table saw quite a bit.
I decided not to watch this video because you said edge grain was harder on knives. That is not true at all. Edge grain is actually better for knives and keeps them sharper longer. Look it uo.
I think you're confusing end grain and edge grain. End grain is the best for knives.
Dodgy crosscuts
Beautiful board but holy smokes, please do not follow this guy’s techniques!
No riving knife and using the fence and mitre at the same time. OMG. Stopped watching immediately, you're far too dangerous...
Why are people allowed to post videos with questionable safety practices? In this case, non-existent safety practices? Reporting this video.
kryptik0 because this is the internet. All want things for free, so there is no magic baby sitter to stop it.
I'm really really surprised you are /were using a table saw with NO riving knife! I've watched are fair bit, (I made the Urn that you made for your Aunt, but mine was for my wife). I'm hoping bc this was an old video that you have upgraded by now!🤔🤔🫣.
That was an older Ridgid saw that did not support a riving knife. I did buy a splitter that I had intended to install, but I ended up selling the saw and upgrading to a cabinet saw back in 2018. The new saw has a riving knife, which is a nice safety feature.
very nice
