We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
The algorithm is correct. This video is great
Lol Thanks Hans!
Hey bro.. Not a terribly complex project, but it's fantastic to see a video made by someone without a mega-shop and using their existing tools in ways that can inspire and teach others that just don't have all the tools that most videos seem to lean toward. Keep it up! You are providing a great service
Thank you for the kind words kevin!
Not having every tool to do everything is what makes this even more awesome. Good job it’s very nice
Thank you Rex!
I don't have the table saw or bandsaw. This is bs.
You do a fine job getting by with very little in the way of costly equipment. Keep up the fine work!
Damn. My crappy video of making a small workbench out of scraps with homemade music comes to your pro setup. Looks good though, I cannot deny. I want to work on stuff in your nice setup! Looks good, great video!
Jake you will get there brother! i was fortunate that i had a ton of tools from 10 years of doing construction. and my shop took 2 years to get that way and im always looking for ways to improve it. also the fact that your video has homemade music is badass. it is difficult to make videos but rewarding on the creative side. Good luck brother!
@@Wengelsworkshop Thanks man. Means a lot.
Best use of spare ceramic tile I’ve seen. Clever idea.
Thank you John!
I think what I got most from this video, was watching you process and break down those logs. That is a pretty handy method. Thanks
Thanks! Glad it helped
I will use this router idea. You're the first video I found to have a good, and inexpensive, alternative to a planer
thanks TC hope it helps
This is brilliant. Mind is the most powerful tool. It is evident with it, one able craftsman could create wonders.
Thank you Karthick! Most of the ideas are not mine, but it is amazing to figure out solutions
LOVE this video! Love how we don’t need every tool in the world to build something beautiful!
Thanks Craig!
God bless you brother! That is absolutely beautiful. I pray your channel takes off!
Thank you for the kind words Khug Gaming!
Excellent work - really enjoyed your calm and laid-back presentation and the measured pace at which the process of making unfolded. I learned a lot, as I have blocks of yellowood that we recently cut, and which I'll now cure and use later.
awesome good luck!
I did the same last week... And that is my first cutting board... first I thought it is my board on UA-cam 😀😀
Thank you for narrating and explaining what you are doing in the video as well as how you overcame problems. I'm still a noob and it is very helpful to me to understand these things before I undertake a project. Bravo, sir! :-D
No problem thanks for watching the video
I gave up trying to do anything that required a jointer, especially edge hand planing. I'm ready to give it another go. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
YES!!! This is the first video I've seen of yours, but I really love how you made this work (and very well) within the constraints of limited equipment. So many channels have access to every last kind of tool, often because they have corporate sponsors. But not all of us can just go shell out a few hundred bucks every time something new needs to be done in the shop. Please, please keep creating this type of content as your subscriber count grows, because there's not enough of it.
Thank you so much. I will do my best!. though my tool collection may grow. lol
this guy is a true carpenter.
Nice. Congrats & thx 4 sharing!
thank you Mike!
You got some beautiful grain patterns in those boards. Looks like spalted quarter sawn white oak. Looks great man.
Thank you!
Awesome! I liked seeing the solutions you made with not having certain tools.
thank Evan!
Very impressed with all the little steps to get things flat and even!
thanks Christopher and thanks for watching the video!
That grain looks awesome. I love how you turned what's considered firewood by most people into something useful. It's neat too that the wood has a story. We had a tornado come through my brother's neighborhood a while back which blew down some of his ash trees so I had them milled up and made our kitchen cabinets from the lumber.
Great video sir, I just subbed.
Thank you!
Nice take on a rough lumber cutting board, i keep watching videos of woodworkers with fancy expensive tools when i cant afford them (They're addictive) but its videos and woodworkers like these I've come to appreciate the most, I love the ingenuity!
Thank you Luqman!
I love the pattern in the wood, it definitely has class.
thank you Erik!
I paused at the moment early in the video where you briefly showed your tool storage wall... I subscribed to you the moment I saw that. I'm super grateful for the well produced woodworking video... Thanks sir! Going to binge your channel now.
Thank you for the kind words Erik! the tool wall style is called french cleats.
You might try cutting some wedges to put between the work and the rails of your jig to clamp the piece
will do thanks john!
Nice video. Precise and to the point with no waffle. Subscribed.
Thank you Mick!
simple, but with a touch of class using the purple heart, wish it grew downunder.
Thank you Darryl!
redgum with tassie oak or cypress can give a similar effect
Very nice job. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks again!
Really nice, love the rustic feel to the oak.
thank you john!
Fascinating! It’s not easy but it’s not hard.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful work. Just a suggestion from a fellow woodworker and old married guy. If you need a plainer to to the job, go get one and tell your wife you had no choice.
The golden rule in woodworking is “Every project is an excuse to buy a tool!”
hahaha that great i will have to use that next time. Thats for watching skykiller!
That is how I have a full workshop 🤣😂🤣
Use the same argument for my boat and fishing hobby !! Does not always work that well ..... 🤣
andy wessels I know. I’m wondering what I’m going to have to take on to buy a cnc machine!
Very smart ideas! Thinking outside the box for shore!
Most of these are not my ideas, but thank you!
This is one of my favorite videos to watch during quarantine thank you so much!
Thank you Sam!
Great video , nice finish product
thanks Rudy
Great board. Been woodworking full time for a few years now. Wife just told me we need to make them...
thank you woodbox and yeah my gf has tons of build requests.
How do you find customers? I can’t seem to find a sustainable source to get clients for my woodworking business
@@redwhiteandbluewoodworking8263 I am a hobbyist so i would be the wrong person to ask, but definitely promoting across all social media platforms will help.
@@redwhiteandbluewoodworking8263 check out 731 Woodworks here on UA-cam. He's got a lot of cool projects but he also has several videos on the business side of things.
Enjoyed this! Particularly the purple heart inlay..
Thank you Marcel!
Newcomer to your channel. Nice project using limited equipment and clearly narrrated. Thank you I really enjoyed this and look forward to more 👍
Thank you so much Leadminer!
Nice video thanks for the bandsaw trick
No problem Michael Averett thanks for watching the video!
I love how you show the jig making too. Plus, the purple heart between the boards is a very nice touch as well.
Thanks for watching Judee!
We just went through Milton in central Florida. I was looking for ideas for the wood stacked everywhere. This is a really good idea.
This has answered so many questions I have been pondering. How to plane without a planer, what to do with the fallen tree limbs and how to approach these without a sawmill. Thanks!
yo me too 😂💦
Glad it helped Gautam!
@Jean Claude Peeters I will give you a log and a hand plane and you make a cutting board😂😂
Not flashy but thats what I like about it. You have a lot of vision for how the process goes from log to finished product. A very functional board. I look forward to your next project
Love the vibe man...great work and ingenious tooling. Kudos!! You have earned a follower!
thank you Kirker!
That is a very simple but unique cutting board and it actually looks like you are preparing your food on a slab of tree. Such a nice instructional I think I want to make one too. Thanks!
Thank David glad it helped
I'm new to your channel and what I loved most about this video was the step by step and the narration absolutely well articulated 👌💯
Thank you so much Marco!
Always relaxing to watch videos like these. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Keith!
Haha sweet dude. I dig that. Always love seeing how people are innovative with their planing and jointing techniques. You def make it look easy. Great job man!
Thank you!
Very nice, very clever. Thank you for the video
Thank you Jack!
Very creative machining methods, and a beautiful end result. What kind of moron would give this video a thumbs down?
Thank you Rick!
Great job dude
Thank you Raul!
It's a beautiful cutting board, and isn't it uncomfortably small? I would go crazy trying to keep food from falling off of it, I think.
It would make an ill bartender board though.
Some of that wood looks spalted? (The black lines) If so, it has active fungus mold in it - not good for food prep. Plus it may keep growing - essentially rotting the wood. An easy fix is to heat the board in your home oven at 225F for an hour or so, which should kill the spores. It came out nice! :)
thank you Roger thats great info to know!
Very nice work. Thank you.
Thank you Mark
Great job. I really like the natural unique look! This is something I would be interested in making for myself.
thank you!
I now live in Central Florida. There is a tremendous amount of wood available due to storms/wind. I recently found a pecan tree cut down and managed to get 4 really nice logs about 3 foot long each which I have let dry now and will attempt to do something with them. This video is way over my head...but will watch it again..and see if I can salvage something out of that tree.
thanks great! trying is the first step to making something. Even if you fail no big deal just try again!
What oil do you use at the end? How long does it take to dry? Do you renew the oil after a certain period? Is it safe for food?
Thank you!
i used howards Butcher Block Conditioner. it is food safe and you should renew it probably every 6 months to a year. Also the first time you apply the oil you should do 4-5 coats
Wengels Workshop 😘😘😘
Nice job. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Craig Jones! There is a world class grappler named Craig Jones. Im a huge fan of his lol
While the end result is awesome, i feel there is a lot of wasted wood...from the endless cutting of each log to the mdf frames...unless you used all those for something else..
Yeah nothing gets wasted. i have been using the extra wood for inlays and knife scale as well as other things and the mdf setup has been used to flatten many more cutting boards since then. Thanks for watching.
Such a calming tutorial
Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, it seems to me unless you were batching those that it would've been much quicker to flatten the laminated cutting board using a hand plane than building that router sled and then having to sand it forever. Why did you choose to do it that way?
thanks for watching the video. i do not own hand planes and i am not skilled with them yet, however once the jig is build i think it is faster than you would think. i do plan on learning how to use hand planes in the near future though.
I guess you would have to be quite skilled with a hand plane to get it perfectly flat without taking too much material off. I tried myself with an electric handplane and failed misserably, so I will definitely be making a router sled.
With this method the result is perfect first time, every time. ...As long as the board is held securely in place so it doesn't tilt.
Now to get a big a$$ router bit, the largest straight bit I have right now is a 10mm...
@@HepauDK i believe i found an affordable 1 inch bit on amazon.
@@HepauDK Hand planes are easy and there are tons of videos on how to use them (check out Paul Sellers channel). Trust me you won't be taking off giant chips with a handplane like you would with a power handplaner. Hand planes take off very very thing shavings
That wood was so beautiful.
Thank you!
Nice work, little to over engineered for my undertaking tho.
Thank you Joseph!
Wow, your logs made a beautiful cutting board. I'm not experienced enough to create my own jigs unless I replicate someone else's design. I really want to understand how they are made and what their jobs are. I love that you used your creative liberties to accomplish tasks with tools designed for other purposes. I had an uncle who was a tool and die maker in the 1930's. I thought of him as I watch you create. I'm glad I found your videos, I will learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your talent. Hi from Connecticut!!
Thank you so much for the kind words Cath!
Most of us who use jigs/sleds have made them from what we've seen someone else make. Others are simply out of necessity. When the need arises you will be creative enough to create you're own specialized jig.
Really cool! I really like what you did with your table saw too. I have the same one and that would make a huge difference!
thanks Ross! And yeah my table saw has been amazing, however it in not portable at all anymore. lol
That turned out great!!
Thank you Steven!
That turned out looking good...
Thank you tomoko!
Friggin' gorgeous. Nice work and ingenuity
Thank you Wobble!
This looked way more complicated than I thought it would be. I found a website that said basically said cut, glue, sand, and oil
Well if you start with precut boards it would be quite a bit easy than starting with logs. You can do it just have patience!
Cutting boards are easy or difficult.. entirely depends on your starting point and access to equipment. A thickness planer and dimensional lumber cuts out about 60% of this process.
Very beautiful
Thank you Mojoo!
"always wondered what is like to work with wood" - *Has a shop with every woodworking tool in existence*
the point was i had never started with a log before. alway pre cut boards
@@Wengelsworkshop But that's not what the title implies. At all. I came to this video because I'm a beginner with no planer or jointer, and the title sounded like something that could help me make a couple beginner things with a few very basic tools. I wasted my time.
@AGoodBuzz he clearly stated that he has no planer or jointer. Not that he was going to make this with a screw driver and a prayer. There is no way you came to this video with cutting board from rough lumber and thought he did it with no investment in anything but chisels and a hammer. He made a video lacking tools that even someone as novice as me has in his garage so I would hardly call it every tool in existence
@@AGoodBuzz that is weird bc it doesnt say beginner, basic, or hand tool in the title. so it does not imply any of those things. there are a million videos with those in the title you just have to type those words into the search bar and bam like magic videos for complete novices.
@@infob1873 Thank you lol i really appreciate it!
Wow beautiful work. Great instructions too!
Thank you Bobby Bullock!
Very intuitive! It's amazing what you can do without buying expensive equipment. Can you tell me what finish you put on your board? I would assume it is a natural finish?
Thank you! I used Howards Butcher Block Conditioner which is a food safe product.
I have a Purple Heart board sitting around. I now have an idea for it’s use. Thanks!
Nice Mark! good luck!

There is a destinct difference between pointing at a tree and actually make one.
I can point at a tree as well.
Does that make me god?
I DO know how evolution works...
Does a sense of humor evolve?
lmao
beautiful cutting board
Thank you Pedro!
This seemed very complicated.
everything is until you start doing it
It has a lot of steps but none of them are complex. Need to be precise though. This would be frustrating for a beginner I think. Maybe start on something with less steps and do this another time.
This project made me wanna get a table saw so much more :)
You can do soooo many creative things with tables saw. However make sure you practice proper safety which is something I need work on myself lol. Glad this gave you some motivation!
"I've always been curious as to how you take a chunk of a tree and turn it into something beautiful." Guess what? The chunk of a tree is already something beautiful: you just cannot see it.

I am green with envy , it's something like eyeing someone else gorgeous girlfriend / wife , considering your collection of tools & machines I feel myself to be a pauper , boys always lust for ravishing tools & machines no matter how saintly they might seem to be ! Lol from India .
lol thanks i am very fortunate that i had tools from my former job doing construction. and i have just been adding and improving the tools over the last couple years.
Poor me ! Am the handyman of my house however my better half always takes me to task for cosyig upto my little collection of tools & small machines , it seems that she would accept another woman in my life but not the tools ! When in need she asks me to fix the things around & considers that it's the duty of a chivalrous husband to help his Eve
out otherwise having tools or buying some is a financial disaster not conducive to a sane family man & am accused of having affairs with my tools ! This is I suppose repeated all over the world , may God bless you !
Hello dear author of Wengels Workshop channel.I am a subscriber of your channel and I am happy with it.Sincerely Ulugbek from Uzbekistan!
You didn’t finish the video because you didn’t tell us how you finished the top. What products did you use and how did you make sure it is food safe ?
Thanks for watching the video Craig i used Howards Butcher Block conditioner which is a food safe finish.
I condition my cutting board with mineral oil as needed. Which is probably once a week with daily use and washing.
Good work mate!
thank you James!
You’re skill set is second to none! Your voice an’ tone is sad an’ depressing.
lol Thanks i guess Stanley.
You have a very soothing voice and speaking style, yet it's not monotonous. Your skills are really impressive. So many woodworking videos have such annoying music or boisterous voice-overs.
Thank you very much Tim. i actually am trying to do less music in my videos too bc people complain. lol most people just want the shop sounds and voice
Sees title, "no jointer or planer"...oh great something I can actually make with simple tools...proceeds to break out big ass band saw, chop saw and table saw. bye.
I like the tile idea to keep things flat.
thank you!
Beautiful work!
I built a cutting board in shop class over forty years ago, and my mother still uses it daily. I wish I could remember the kind of glue I used. Today's glues fall apart, always. (Don't tell my mother, but I even used the cutting board to practice throwing knives just after I built it).
Thanks for checking out the video. I have never had a problem with "todays glue" when used properly it creates a bond stronger than the wood itself.
@@Wengelsworkshop I'll check back in 20 years...
You should try a hand plane
Its a skill i plan on learning, however i need to find some old hand planes to restore.
Like the use of tiles for flattening. Good move.
Yeah the tiles tend to come in handy. thanks for watching the video silk!
Just a small tip i myself learned recently. If you use 'end-grain' prices for the cutting surface, the wood itself will hello keep the knife sharp. I'll be making mine soon as well. Good luck playing with your wood you DIYs.
Nice thanks Damin!
I really liked the way you sliced your logs. I have several small log pieces from some property we own and this will help me prepare turning blanks. Best wishes.
Awesome im glad it helped!
Nice video. I would like to see you build a foldable table - a small handy and portable folding table for the likes of easy moving or carrying it for family picnic etc.
Thank you. Maybe in the future. I have been so busy it's tough to produce any content these days.
Wow! Great work.
Thank you!
Great production - very professional - thank you
Thanks for the kind words Denis!
Beautiful board, great video too!
Thank you Sam!
Clean and clear videography with equally inspiring back music and end result. I wish I had your skills.
Im trying! thank you for the kind words
