That branding and hand written burn on the back was the chefs kiss, definitely elevated it to another level and gives an additional talking point about the board for the new owner!
My brother made a checker board design on a cutting board for my mother and she still uses to this day. It is 43 yrs old and he used light and dark wood to get that checker look.
Love these videos man. Very intriguing and attention grabbing. You don't have a shop with top of the line tools so for someone like me these videos are inspiring and pretty realistic to imitate. Thank you.
Dude -- Love your imagination, how you can see some old "junk" on the side of the road and immediately recognize how it can be brought back to life. L'chiam!
Thank you! In this case, I had no idea what I was gonna do with the coffee table, but sometimes you just gotta follow your instincts and trust that you’ll figure it out later on! L’chaim 😉
When you use a branding iron it helps if you wet the wood first with a spray bottle so you don't get as much excess burning you did a really good job on this well done mate
The expectation/hope of being paid $100 an hour for this level of effort is a little out of touch... even at $200 USD, the board is quite expensive for what it is as large end grain cutting boards can be bought for a similar price. Don't get me wrong, the board turned out looking nice, but I do think expectations should be tempered when selling something so ubiquitous. Anyways, thanks for the video and merry Christmas to you.
he's so full of joy that it is contagious. I'm currently buying a LOT of machinery so i can start some new projects. Thanks for the motivation- Never loose that smile, man. love from Argentina.
@2:19 - notices the Snapmaker enclosure in the background! Hey! The Snapmaker 2.0 was my first (1) 3D printer, (2) CNC, (3), laser. I now have a whole farm of 3D printers (7 assembled, and about 5 more waiting to be built), 3 laser machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 100W CO2 machine, and 3 CNC machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 2+ x 4+ ft DIY plasma based on V1E LowRider v3, and a 4+ x 8+ ft DIY router based on V1E LowRider v3. For me, the Snapmaker 2.0 started it all.
A satisfying build Morley 👍 as long as you get your asking price, don't mind the negative feedback. I have a pallet in my backyard I wish I could give you but I'm in California. Oh well keep it up dude
Would like to see a vid you mixing the two main topics of this channel, woodworking and 3D printing. You may take some inspiration from USSA. Some 🍬 for ya!
Hi Morley, I’ve been able to get my wife to watch your great UA-cam videos with me. Very inspiring. What are your thoughts about repurposing finished hardwood furniture and running it through a planer or table saw? Just wondering if you have any health concerns? I haven’t done a charcuterie or cutting board but this has been my thought for a while, why not use old furniture and remove the finish and use it for a build… Curious on your thoughts!? Thanks for your content! Keep it up, looking forward to your CD build!
Ive got these slats from an old ikea bedframe, replaced it some time back because what self respecting woodworker buys / has Ikea furniture 😅. That being said the slats that held the mattess are actually great looking ply pieces! Slightly warped, but all to the exact same bend, whick works for a unique look for my intended coffee table. Im turning them up on their side, and using flourecent acrylic strips between each slat. Not sure which color yet, but work in an acrylic fabrication shop, so no problem securing parts 😁
Fairly sure that you may have had some cherry wood in there. The grain of maple and cherry are very similar. I've had cherry sapwood boards that I would mistake for maple if I didn't know the actual tree it was cut from.
You should have made a vertical stand with the excess wood. As opposed to risers, it would offer a more elegant and ergonomic storage for when it is not in use.
Loved the new video Morley! All I need is a good workbench and a few more tools and ill be making some furniture and pieces like this :) Currently just making bowls and plates and such on my lathe.
Nice work, but $270 for a flat, mostly featureless board comprised of wood processed and glued simply is a bit ridiculous, regardless of time spent. It is a charcuterie board sold for $270, not a "$270 charcuterie board".
I think a person could have easily gotten a piece of glass for that table but since it had an older look to it (that isn't my style and maybe not your either) so I think using the wood for a charcuterie board was really cool
Nice job. Personally, I would have used the "risers" as Japanese style feet, creating bevelled sides and dovetailing them into the base of the board. Guaranteed to add brownie points to the end price.
If I had the finances, I’d thoroughly love to buy this piece. Btw, absolutely loved your maker’s mark! Burning it in adds character to the piece. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love ur work mate.. very inspiring.. Now if I can find thrown away furnitures made of anything other than pine, here I Australia. Jealous of those maple timber u get.
Awesome video!! I'm 15 years old in the portland area and your videos have inspired me to build more things!! I made some coasters out of a 4x4, and they haven't sold yet. Are you on facebook? I would like to ask you some questions. Thanks-Andrew
@Michael Willson you can fund end grain one off maple or walnut boards for around 150 to 200 and edge grain for around 100 to 150 o etsy or other makers. This is more of a novelty UA-cam merch purchase. Even the shipping to Oregon is gonna cost around d 50$ from Toronto.
@@ShayanGivehchian not really sure about prices over in states and Canada all an no is a certianly wouldn't get anywhere close to $270=£220 for a charcuterie board here. Anything above £150=$180-200 I struggle with. 👍🏴
Just stumbled across your channel and I will say, lovely workmanship 👍 But one mistake that's going to stay for years and years is the hand written message. It was "used" as a coffee table or it "use" to be a coffee table 🤣 either way I've now subbed to the channel 👍
This might be one of the worst wood workers on UA-cam, putting unreal prices, no actual wood skills just amateur stuff. No way someone gonna pay $200+ for this $50 cutting board. What a fraud
@@brucehansen7949 Bruce my man It sounds like you have some limiting beliefs and you’re just projecting. I don’t think you understand that individuals can price their work whatever they want. There are photos in gallery’s that are worth $100,000 dollars… a PHOTO! There’s 8 billion people in the world, someone is going to want this 1 of 1 original made piece. I would just simply keep that in mind and hope you make some dope stuff to sell that someone is going to want to buy 🙏
My grandfather, former cowboy, later artist, used to brand my mothers toys. Once a kid stole my mums sled, my grandfather went to their house to get it back. After denying insisting it belonged to them, my grandfather turned it over and the point was made. My mum got her sled back.
I thought you have to have one face of the project already flat in order for a planer to flatten out the other surface. Is the planing here just to clean up the wood and the project does not necessarily have a flat top? I'm still learning so just wondering, thanks.
Flattening one side before planing allows you to get the two surfaces parallel to each other, which isnt strictly necessary for a board like this. But the planer will make each surface flat no matter what, unless you take too deep of plane passes. You should read some old popular woodworking articles about stock prep.
Because he is reusing wood from furniture it was probably flat already. My makerspace does not let us use reclaimed wood in the planer and jointer though because of the risk of hardware hidden within it damaging the blades. They are very expensive to replace!
Great job.......I had to stop picking up wood that I came across on my bike rides........too much wood, not enough space and time to process all of it. I did just finish a wood mirror that I repurposed from a chair......it had the same beautiful maple!! Keep building...DD
Hi Morley; I am new to your channel, I want to know what is the make and model of the wood planer that your using in the video, great content so far, I might be following in your foot step.
I wish people just left stuff by the road here, but garbage collection where I live only picks up containers that don't fit anything fun, and you have to bring anything else to the recycling dump yourself, where picking up cool stuff other people left behind is not allowed. If you do leave something like a couch sitting outside people will just call the municipal government on you and you get fined :(
As a side hustle I think a couple of hundred dollars for 4 hours work is quite very good. Considering you could have got two boards made of timber…. You still have got legs left to make possibly another board, even maybe an end grain version. Chess board popped in my head.
Hey Morely I need your help. I just bought the DJI wireless setup. I fought with other systems bla bla bla...Long story...anyway, how is the latency with this mic? Do you record on board and then sync up the audio clips in post or do you plug directly into your camera. If you plug directly into your camera, do you need to tweak the audio by 1 or 2 frames to sync it up correctly? Thanks! Been loving your videos for awhile now!
@@MorleyKert Ok sweet! I originally bought the Synco G3 in order to stay on a budget. I recorded one video had what I thought was audio issues. I asked my girlfriend if she thought the audio was synced and she said yes...but im pretty sure it is like 1 or 2 frames off. Then I ordered the Rhode Go and ultimately decided I wanted the flexibility of doing everything from the actual device itself as well as I wanted the charging case, so I canceled that and ordered the DJI.

Your need to pat the wood in quite literally every shot is infuriating haha. I want to subscribe but once I noticed your incessant patting, it can't be unseen and sets me off 😂
If your planning to sell you're wooden crafts on instagram you can make a small shop on the app with a new account that's linked too your main one just to make things a little more easier instead of having 3 buyers message you at the same time the first one to click buy and do the information on the instagram shop will be able to get it. It's like a mini etsy.
Quick tip…lightly wet the board before you brand it. It will stop that board from splitting like it did.
That branding and hand written burn on the back was the chefs kiss, definitely elevated it to another level and gives an additional talking point about the board for the new owner!
That’s exactly my thoughts. And I need to start doing this on my wood working projects
@@88rushrocks true, all things considered it’s a “small effort” compared to the returns and a skill that will only get better over time too
Yeah, except he split the joints while doing it. Honestly, this is basically grade school ability. It’s atrocious he sold this for so much
@@celticsfaninthedesert4778 right? give me his client base and i won't have to work my 9-5 lol
a very cool idea would be to include a QR code in your branding that links to your youtube video of making that product. Keep up the great work!
My brother made a checker board design on a cutting board for my mother and she still uses to this day. It is 43 yrs old and he used light and dark wood to get that checker look.

I like that that beautiful maple wood got repurposed.
Good use of recycled materials. I like doing the same. In my area, Oklahoma I would have a hard time selling for that amount.

Another fun video from Morley. Might I suggest the next one? "Morley learns about dust collection."
Haha getting there! Thanks for watching 😊
Awesome work. Don't heat the front side of the branding iron. Heat it from the back side only.
Nice work, but $270 for a flat, mostly featureless board comprised of wood processed and glued simply is a bit ridiculous, regardless of time spent.
It is a charcuterie board sold for $270, not a "$270 charcuterie board".
Brilliant. Perfect holiday inspiration Morley.
Thanks, Jesper!

Not gonna lie that's pretty expensive. You can get end grain boards for this price.
