huh... maybe the algorith is different to me but I get a ton of those scrap wood projects, cutting boards being one of the most common. but hey, its a good thing non the less ^^
@@Solid_Jackson No need to buy one, I’d make it for myself if wanted. I guess English is a 2nd language for you or you would have picked up on “Newbie” as in a “wood worker too” but not to his degree. Go troll someone else. I’m done her.
Beautiful boards. The only people who truly appreciate the work and know that the price you are charging is reasonable is someone who makes them. I’ve had trouble getting ALOT less for not nearly labor intensive boards at craft fairs. I’ve also heard comments that they are cheaper at Hoobby Lobby-which in turns makes my blood boil. But I just smile and say thank for stopping by and have a nice day.
Love your boards! Thanks for the clear walk through as I now have enough scraps to make one. As an art teacher of 20 years I can tell you I can tell you most people would rather look at an image that has a likeness to something as a posed to nothing (nonobjective art). Like music we can recognize catches our attention and when we hear new strange music we might say “that’s interesting”. acknowledging its novelty, but then move on and never think of it again. So here is my free idea for you from a fellow creator. In the middle of the chaos, boards have some shapes organized to create abstract recognizable forms ; animals, people, flowers, logos, almost anything to catch the eye. Or one has to look around the board to find the hidden things in the chaos. I think this added art-work will take it to the next level , sell for more and speed up sales. Cool idea?
as a person with a workshop, who keeps every single little scrap to repurpose, i think there is something to be said for making art from what would usually go in a land fill. it definitely tends to be more labor intensive, but its just a good thing to do in general. it makes it special, and i think these boards are very special!
Ryan I appreciate you explaining why you glue up both sides. I've experienced the same issue and have started gluing up both sides myself. It saves a lot of frustration later on. I'm really surprised you haven't invested in a drum sander. It's a game changer and you'll see a considerable reduction in your labor hours. They're worth the investment. The video turned out fantastic as usual. 💯🔥
As an amature/hobby woodworker, i love your content. Seeing how you use the scrap gives me good inspiration for the use of mine, and I have a ton. I used to work at a custom cabinet shop and collected a bunch there. Thanks again for the great video! I'll keep watching!
I very much want to commend you on your work, but in particular that you use mainly time lapse in your videos, which is really nice. I still get to see what you do, and how you do it, but I also get to see the progress of your project so much faster. In many other videos, it's almost painful to wait for someone to get through a step in building something and it's obvious to the viewer what is going on, and not necessary to drag it out, thank you!
A hardworking woodworker, a work ethic that is unquestionable. Great boards with such a unique design. I do hope that your hard work and great videos that help others like myself is fully rewarded.
I upgraded to the 735 Dewalt. Total game changer. Found one in the box a guy used for one project....Facebook find $400. Virtually no snipe...thinking about adding the helical replacement...but that's more than the cost of the planer.
Lots of work!!! Great idea laying it all out for us … it’s amazing how many people probably think you do these in a day and can’t justify the expense and cost of 1

I will be sure to watch some more vids and see what else you have done in the past and look forward to what you do in the future
I think those boards are great, and being a construction guy that’s been woodworking a couple years now for fun, I appreciate the time and love put into these. Ok, now for the construction joke….. has anybody ordered an OSB plywood cutting board lately? Sorry, couldn’t help it! Really those things are awesome and worth more than you are asking.

I'm currently an joiner apprentice and while I have high end tools at work, at home I'm happy to have a bosh proffessional tablesaw XD but I really really love your way of glueing, Specially those pipes on wood, I think I'll design something similar for myself. Great vids!
You're so cool to watch ! Great shop, great tips, beautiful work !!!! I build boards also, of many designs, and find that everyone likes different styles. Keep up the great videos !!!
I’m a computer PhD, but I wish I had a wood working workshop like yours and working and working and working with lovely pieces of wood. Good luck and enjoy your job
Hes back with a full video yaaaayyyy!! Whens the one with the barrels and the barrel steaming box coning?? They look wicked dude. I dont generally like end grain boards but these are stunning. Am looking at doing some chaos boards just in next few weeks. You inspired that thank u! They should sell allot more and quickly!👍🏴
@@ryanhawkins well that's always nice that ave made an impact on someone. They came out stunning. And no you can't be trusted with time lines!🤣🤣 As long as it's coming a can wait just dont keep us hanging to long. 🏴👍
I would not be surprised if those boards will sell faster now that the video has been released. They do look good and I am not a fan of that style of board. Personally I prefer the original end grain or even long grain boards. It's good to see your workshop taking shape, you have came such a long way in the last couple of years. Well done.
If you were to choose an upgrade for one tool in your shop I would highly suggest putting a Shelix head in your planner. It would reduce the risk of exploding the wood in the process you were discussing by quite a lot. I put on in mine and it gives smoother cuts, cleaner cuts, I have not yet experienced any chucking, chipping or exploding on anything I run through it. Just be sure to buy the OEM size one as there are 2 different diameter heads. The smaller one yu can technically install without removing the cutting inserts but makes your measurement marker and depth gage inaccurate. The OEM size you have to remove the cutter inserts to install but is the exact size as the OEM straight knife head. Best tool upgrade I've done to date, by far.
Well I think the boards and the wood work that you make are all quality! Just the other day at Lowe's I was wish listing a plainer for starters lol Good job and superb work!
Amazing work. You lost me about halfway through the mixing up portions but your set up is crazy productive. I only have half the equipment you do and couldn't even begin to have the patience to go through all those steps but kudos to your quality and creativeness!
These are very nice cutting boards. I’m a chef and for me, having a nice board design to look at while chopping makes the task much more fun. An easy 10/10 for me and your craftsmanship resulted in me subscribing. Thank you for this great content!
Love the video mate. It’s amazing how much work and time goes into something that looks simple. Takes a lot of time. Well done I think they look so cool
I neither have the space in my kitchen nor the money for such a great handicraft! But I have fun looking at your great work and can therefore only reward you with a thumbs up! greetings from GER
I'm really amazed that you're able to get good glue joints straight from the planer. I have a very similar planer (different brand) and even with hours of fiddling with all the table adjustments, I still get crazy snipe on anything I pass through without a sacrificial board. Maybe I've just set something up incorrectly or maybe mine is just that much worse though.
Beautiful work. You will solve many of your issues with a power planer or just an old school hand planar and a solid track saw like a Mafell or festool.
Great looking boards sir.. nice :) A handy hint to minimise or avoid snipe, is to sent the boards through with the waste 'legs' first, that way, any snipe is on that material which is cut off later. Adding a sacrificial 'leg' to the 'tail' end of the board during this step is advised also.
Your boards are stunning! I like the chaos pattern as much or even more than the geometric patterns you make. The amount of work though-yikes! Beautiful as always, thanks for sharing your construction techniques. WOW.
I agree sometimes i cant make it for what you can buy, but there is a massive amount of satisfaction knowing i made it, and the look on peoples face also when you gift them with something like that and they say or others say, where did you get it, and then you tell them you made it, and they are left awestruck. its a great feeling.
For scrapping off excess of glue, especially when there's a lot of joints and it's a hardwood I'd use a fibre disc on angle grinder, grain #36 or so. To prevent the glue clogging the disc, a bit of WD-40 or silicone spray applied to rotating disc is recommended. (Powdered chalk sprinkled onto the wood piece may also help, but I wouldn't recommend doing it indoors.) Also, couple of years ago one could buy an additive to PVAC glue to make it "totally waterproof/ water-resistant", which was water solution of aluminium chloride, AlCl3 (that's lowercase "L", not uppercase "i") - a bottle of approx 50 ml for every 1 kg of glue (1.7 fl oz and 2.2 lbs), don't know what concentration though - just pour it in, mix well, and "voila!" - and the only "catch" was you had to use it up within a week or so, otherwise the glue would set (jelly style I guess, not really hard - still, unusable). Aluminium chloride is tad acidic, and I guess this made the glue to cross-link (when drying) better, hence higher water resistance. Sorta acts like a hardener, in a sense.

Great video , thanks. Very educational and informative. I think that 620 dollars for a unique and lifetime asset like your cutting boards is very attractive. My son is a professional chef so you have just given me some great ideas. Thank you.
1:23 - I have the same problem with my planer (snipe, that is) - which is, I think, not the result of "how you put a piece of wood in" but an inherent fault of planers with kinda flexible bed (or "table"). That is, when a piece of wood is grabbed by the first "cog" roller the table gets pushed down a little, and when the wood reaches the second, smooth roller it adds more to the push and the table flexes down even more - so the head cuts slightly higher in the wood piece. (My planer snipes nearly 5 cm /2 " on each end of wood going through it.) To reduce this you can push in pieces of wood continuously (just like you did here) or just reduce depth of cut (yes, more time, but then better results), and use this "lobster train" technique only when doing the finishing cut. It also helps to get flat surface when you use the planer as a jointer (which I also do sometimes, especially with shorter and "to be glued together" pieces).
Great video Looks great im going to make a maple walnut and cherry cutting board out of leftover unfinished hardwood flooring end grain style love that you use tight bond 3 👍
Do you have a list of all the tools in your amazing shop? Can you describe the gluing table in detail for us wanta-bees? How large is your shop ? How did you come to being able to afford all this dream ? Any tools you absolutely adore ? Hate and would never have again? Where do you live and have access to wood? Do you cut and dry trees yourself? What is your preferred moisture content? I am blown away, I have small 2 car garage and move tools out in drive way to work and quickly back in garage if rain. You are an inspiration for a retired 74 year old man. Thanks , jack trotter , currently in Idaho but looking to move where wood is easier to find
Ryan, first & foremost, thank you for posting your videos and giving guys like me inspiration and ideas for new board designs. So I do have a few questions to ask. 1) What are you using for your glue boards? Is that PVC on the rails? 2) What is your thought on a router plate mounted on a radial arm saw (obviously the blade has been taken off) and using that configuration for doing juice grooves or surface planing? 3) Besides the videos you upload here on UA-cam, how else are you getting sales and traffic on your website? I'm fairly new to the sales and promotion side of things and am interested to see how you're getting the sales.
The Quality is fantastic but as someone living in Wales with a tiny workshop. My envy for your setup is off the charts!!lol I can only dream of that kind of workshop and your access to so much great timber. Would be hugely expensive in the UK for the timber you use. Great vid though Ryan Da iawn (well done! in welsh)
The thing is people are used to visit their local stores. Buying a thing like this direct from the manufacturer, there usually are unusual payment options involved. And most important of all I need to know your shop exists. Your shop is very much more interesting than the eastern Europe and Russian market. Will I buy one? - Not today but perhaps later since I'm really tempted. In my country (Sweden) some manufacturers did make end grain cutting boards, some as expensive as 300 usd for just a small plank - and then they started other projects than cutting boards.
Crazy amount of glue ups! $60 for Titebond III?!?!? At my local Ace hardware it is only $41.00 US and $31.00 US on Amazon. Also, you should check out the Unistrut steel cauls. I just started using them and love how they flatten out my glue ups... Happy New Year Ryan!!! 😁
Dang i really wish i could afford one of those. Your work is awesome. Hopefully one day i can afford one and even try making one for myself also. Good luck and keep it up.
Great work Ryan!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are lucky that you can make money from these jobs. In my contry (Italy) they wouldn't even buy them for 6 euro... they say they buy it at Ikea which is cheaper. 😔😠😔😠
tbh, no matter how much disposable income i would have i can never justify spending more than 50 euros on a cutting board, no matter how cool it looks or how many work hours it was made with, it's just another tool, not art work per say.
Fabulous video Ryan! What an insane amount of work, but phenomenal result. I found your channel not long ago thru another local woodworker I know, I had no idea there was someone just down the road from me creating these awesome boards! (I’m in Courtenay)
Dude is single-handedly keeping the Titebond company in business

Hello Ryan, to me this cutting boards are amazing!!!!!!!!
For scrapping off excess of glue, especially when there's a lot of joints and it's a hardwood I'd use a fibre disc on angle grinder, grain #36 or so.

That is, when a piece of wood is grabbed by the first "cog" roller the table gets pushed down a little, and when the wood reaches the second, smooth roller it adds more to the push and the table flexes down even more - so the head cuts slightly higher in the wood piece. (My planer snipes nearly 5 cm /2 " on each end of wood going through it.)
To reduce this you can push in pieces of wood continuously (just like you did here) or just reduce depth of cut (yes, more time, but then better results), and use this "lobster train" technique only when doing the finishing cut. It also helps to get flat surface when you use the planer as a jointer (which I also do sometimes, especially with shorter and "to be glued together" pieces).
Great video Looks great im going to make a maple walnut and cherry cutting board out of leftover unfinished hardwood flooring end grain style love that you use tight bond 3 👍
Hey thanks for all the advice and ideas I love the end grain stuff !! Your awesome dude
Do you have a list of all the tools in your amazing shop? Can you describe the gluing table in detail for us wanta-bees? How large is your shop ? How did you come to being able to afford all this dream ? Any tools you absolutely adore ? Hate and would never have again? Where do you live and have access to wood? Do you cut and dry trees yourself? What is your preferred moisture content? I am blown away, I have small 2 car garage and move tools out in drive way to work and quickly back in garage if rain. You are an inspiration for a retired 74 year old man. Thanks , jack trotter , currently in Idaho but looking to move where wood is easier to find
This is by far my favorite cutting board pattern you've made do far
If only I didn't live in Europe and had the money lol
Those are beautiful cutting boards. I love the look!
Ryan, first & foremost, thank you for posting your videos and giving guys like me inspiration and ideas for new board designs. So I do have a few questions to ask.
1) What are you using for your glue boards? Is that PVC on the rails?
2) What is your thought on a router plate mounted on a radial arm saw (obviously the blade has been taken off) and using that configuration for doing juice grooves or surface planing?
3) Besides the videos you upload here on UA-cam, how else are you getting sales and traffic on your website?
I'm fairly new to the sales and promotion side of things and am interested to see how you're getting the sales.
It’s like Damascus steel but In wood form. Awesome work!
The Quality is fantastic but as someone living in Wales with a tiny workshop. My envy for your setup is off the charts!!lol I can only dream of that kind of workshop and your access to so much great timber. Would be hugely expensive in the UK for the timber you use. Great vid though Ryan Da iawn (well done! in welsh)
Great job! You only know how it cost until you make one, but the satisfaction to do it is priceless.
This is awesome.
Well done, keep the content coming!
Can you show us how you done your glue up table? I'd love to have one..
This is the Visual Wikipedia for cutting board. The details are very informative.
Well done!! Very intelligent approach
I have one of Ryan's chaos boards and I LOVE it. All my friends are jealous. :)
😁😁
Great video. Really enjoyed it and I do like the explanation as to why u do certain things. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like your videos thank you again, I'm starting to make end grain cutting boards thanks.
Beautiful work!
workshop goals!! amazing video :D def subscribing
The thing is people are used to visit their local stores. Buying a thing like this direct from the manufacturer, there usually are unusual payment options involved. And most important of all I need to know your shop exists. Your shop is very much more interesting than the eastern Europe and Russian market. Will I buy one? - Not today but perhaps later since I'm really tempted. In my country (Sweden) some manufacturers did make end grain cutting boards, some as expensive as 300 usd for just a small plank - and then they started other projects than cutting boards.
Haha at 0:13 the way you video those scraps made it seem like they were 8 foot pieces until you walked into frame.
Crazy amount of glue ups! $60 for Titebond III?!?!? At my local Ace hardware it is only $41.00 US and $31.00 US on Amazon. Also, you should check out the Unistrut steel cauls. I just started using them and love how they flatten out my glue ups... Happy New Year Ryan!!! 😁
Dang i really wish i could afford one of those. Your work is awesome. Hopefully one day i can afford one and even try making one for myself also. Good luck and keep it up.
Awesome video! I see u built a new glue up table. I love it….very efficient
Great work Ryan!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are lucky that you can make money from these jobs. In my contry (Italy) they wouldn't even buy them for 6 euro... they say they buy it at Ikea which is cheaper. 😔😠😔😠
Sorry to hear that my friend!
tbh, no matter how much disposable income i would have i can never justify spending more than 50 euros on a cutting board, no matter how cool it looks or how many work hours it was made with, it's just another tool, not art work per say.
Genius I like your works ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow those are killer. You rock dude.
Fabulous video Ryan! What an insane amount of work, but phenomenal result. I found your channel not long ago thru another local woodworker I know, I had no idea there was someone just down the road from me creating these awesome boards! (I’m in Courtenay)
Thanks for watching! I lived in Comox for 5 years, loved it!
