While a Chaotic board may seem simple to build. I have struggled getting my head wrapped around the process. I have watched countless videos trying to understand the process. Your video is the first that really gave a good step by step. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. You now have a new subscriber.
i've watched quite a few of these chaotic cutting board builds....and most of them you still notice a pattern. you did a great job of breaking up any possible pattern making it look truly chaotic. awesome job!
Love the boards. Can't wait to try an end grain board one day. I'd highly recommend getting a shop vac just for sander dust extraction and using either diablo sand net or 3m cubitron sand paper. I noticed a huge difference in the quality of my sanding after doing this
I’m in process of making a huge batch off these- I’m in middle of second cut/glue up on like 50 panels ranging from 12” to 36” long by 12.50” wide - video was very helpful ty-
Swap your pipes to Rigid EMT from an electrical supply store to avoid any reaction from the black pipe and the glue. Also I've noticed your hand shakes a lot during tool operation, not sure if you are white knuckling your grip on the tools but if you have an excessive amount of pressure you could run into an accident sooner then later. Firm grip is needed yes, but I would bet your muscles are rather sore at the end of the day. If its a condition or something else, I don't mean to shine a light on it. Just talking as a witness to my dad mystifying the pad of his thumb off as a kid cause he was pushing down really hard on a piece of wood as he was jointing it.
I am starting trying chaotic patterns but mine don't get enough random. There is something I am missing. I will save this video and study it thoroughly. TY.
Thanks for the kind words! I think the dust can irritate some people. But I have seen it used quite a bit in cutting boards. I think at most it would be an irritant for the one making the boards. But I am no expert on purple heart safety I suppose.
Out of curiosity, what blade do you have in your saw? It looked like a high tooth count blade, maybe a 50ct combination blade? Either way, a $20-30 ripping blade would seriously help with this project (esp that wenge). I was doing the same project and ended up getting a ripping blade to avoid the burning and heat on my general purpose blade and was surprised the difference. Great video!!
Awesome I appreciate the tip I'm going to try that! And yes combination blade. I like the flat kerf. I gota get rid of this jointer its just taking up space at this point. But the planar is amazing!
Thank you!! I was thinking of makin a bunch of littlle things and doing a stand at a farmers market or something. Im planning to have an online store up and running soon also!
At which point in the video? Some times i remove riving knife because it's taller than the blade. so if i'm not making a full depth cut I'll remove it. Also a lot of times when I use my sled i'll remove it because I have a firm grip on my workpiece and it's not going to twist on me. I hope that helps!
Thank you for the quick reply, removing the riving was at 5.22, I just wondered why, you are cutting right through the board? I am making one of your boards at the moment, I am lucky enough to have a Jet drum sander 16-32 it really makes sanding end grain a doddle it is the best machine in my shop, I really feel for you trying to cope with that belt sander, you did try everything before buying a new one, thank's for doing the video, it is the best video on end grain boards I have seen @@G.I.D.CustomWoodworks
Oh man that drum sander is going to be a dream! I took the riving knife out at that point because i got a thin kerf blade and never got a thinner knife. Which results in me having to force the piece through the saw which is incredibly dangerous.. I have since gotten a thinner riving knife. @@patrickdunne4975
Thank you for explaining why you removed the riving knife, I have done that myself with a thinner kerf blade but found it hard to get a thinner riving knife@@G.I.D.CustomWoodworks
Very educational video, entertaining and informative. Can’t believe you got shot with a piece of Block!
Thank you! Yeah that was very unexpected. Another lesson in table saw safety.

Thanks for the advice! I saw a Lincoln St Woodworks vid on the sandpaper and once I use up what iv got i'll check some out
Extremely well done. Took the time necessary to describe each step, where many other videos do not!
Thanks for a great job.
Thanks for the kind words!
This is a great video! Beautiful boards.
You have so much patience. It's encouraging.

Wow that is a lot of panels!!! Let me know how it turned out!

I appreciate the advice! I do have a general tremor. Some days are better than others. Can get very shaky at times.
@@G.I.D.CustomWoodworks Thanks for the reply and setting that straight. Best of luck to you, and your channel. Great looking boards!

I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you that you sound a little like Steven Wright. Also, great idea for a cutting board!
That is a first! I didn't invent the pattern but it is my fav of all the cutting board patterns.
Beautiful work mate, but as shouldn't purple heart be avoided for cutting boards? At least that's what I heard!

Also, we have a lot of the same exact tools. Exact same jointer and planer. Love the videos and your shop
last comment, one of the cheap harbor freight paint scrapers does wonders for getting glue off after it's dried. just scrape along and it pops off
Awesome I appreciate the tip I'm going to try that! And yes combination blade. I like the flat kerf. I gota get rid of this jointer its just taking up space at this point. But the planar is amazing!
Great video as usual GID. They turned out great. Do you have a store, or are these for personal use?

Can u run end grain through a “spiral” cutter head planner?
still risky. best bet would be a drum sander
To be honest I don't have enough knowledge to answer this question. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get a spiral head cutter and know for sure!
Why did you remove the riving knife?
At which point in the video? Some times i remove riving knife because it's taller than the blade. so if i'm not making a full depth cut I'll remove it. Also a lot of times when I use my sled i'll remove it because I have a firm grip on my workpiece and it's not going to twist on me. I hope that helps!

To me…. I’ll take my chances with planer lol
lmao. Have you planed end grain boards before?
Get a drum sander, it is a must for making these end grain boards, save up if you don't have the money right now
Going fast with the hand router makes the wood look burned. Go slower so the blade on the bit doesnt warm up. Come one bro, basics....
Thanks for the advice
