I always encourage the recipients of my boards to use them! All those extra steps are taken to make it food safe, so why not use it for more than kitchen decoration. To get ideas for other board uses, check out: / useyourboards - Навчання та стиль
The fact that you teach your Son your craft makes me glad I watch your channel and now I’m a subscriber … he is the future of your family and business … also you do fabulous work and I appreciate your teachings.
Great sequel to the original! As someone who watched the first "Cutting Board 101" video intently (learned A LOT!), it's great to see that there's always new things to learn! Really appreciate the time you take to share the latest and greatest with everyone! Also... it's cool to be able to drop by the set from time to time! All the best!!
thanks for sharing. your son looks like a natural wood worker!
Love the Micah 6:8 reference! It's the only way to live! Thanks for your tutorials!
One of those verses that’s kind of a “life verse.” It covers the inner state of my heart, how I should live and be among others (loving true Justice while cultivating mercy towards those in such need for it; and then the humility we must have as we “walk” with Our God. Oh for grace to live this way!
Love it to see your son working with you on your projects!!
Always a great time when he wants to join!
My friend, your cutting board patterns are inspirational. I have a LOT of scrap wood that I picked up for free and have been trying to figure out some patterns. Thanks to you, I have some cool ideas I want to try out.
Hey Nick, thanks for taking your time to make our projects, so much, better. The tips and tricks are always well received. I hope you and ALL your kids have a GREAT holiday season. My daughter is a middle school special ed teacher and as I tell her, Carpe Diem! !! !!!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Cool tips and really awesome looking boards!
Great in-depth video with some great tips to get that end product a bit better.
Thanks!
Great video! Thanks DD
Incredible video! Great job.
Thank you so much!
Great video I learnt a lot I needed to change in my next chopping board
Great video, bro! Keep them coming!
Appreciate it!
CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K SUBSCRIBERS !!!!!
Great video! Love the family helper! Subscribed,,,,
Great video
Great video... Very nice boards and your son looks like he is a great helper.
Appreciate it! He sure is!
Great Work. I've been using Goldman's Wood Balm for finishing cutting boards. It works well.
Thank you for this video!!! There are so many videos out there that just show banging thru the process but don't really talk about what to really expect. This is exactly what i needed to get past the fear of trying these. Thank you, thank you!!! do you happen to have any videos out there how to utilize good dimensional small pieces? Like how to glue up small pieces to make usable larger pieces for boards?

Great vid man. I’ve been making and selling boards for a few years. Glad your son loves this stuff too. Wood like to see an in depth review of your drum sander sometime
Beautiful boards.
Thank you so much!
Appreciate the great video. I have yet to make a cutting board and the tips will help me when I do make one
Thanks! They are a lot of fun.
One thought about avoiding snipe, perhaps prep the longer boards first before cutting them. I’m sure you do this as well, just tossing it out there👍. On the glue clean up do you ever wait for just like an hour or so (or whatever the sweet spot is) so the glue isn’t sticky but still flexible for easier clean up. I find it want to do this but don’t always time it well. Great channel and example of being a wonderful dad. Love to see young people getting after it in the shop! God bless.
Subscribed. Great Video!!
Thank you!
Great content and step by step instructions.
I've just completed my 1st cutting board and it looks awesome.
Now that it’s completed i’am concerned that the humidity level of the wood before the construction may be wrong? The wood was purchased as rough cut lumber and air dried for 1 year. I milled it down to my specifications. How should I be sure that moisture within the wood isn’t a problem on my next cutting board. The 1st one looks fine so fare but it’s only been a couple days of completion.
Very nice boards.
Much appreciated!
I like the idea of the disc sander for the table saw. What grit do you use for surfacing for glue up?
I'm just finishing up my first batch of boards ( cutting and charcuterie ) I'll be looking at the sanding products that you came across.. I also picked up a couple other tricks that I'll use on the next batch
Thanks for this video Nick.
Awesome! Good luck with your boards!
@@SixEightWoodworks If I wipe water on the boards, then wipe it off after a couple mins.....is that long enough? Or do I need to let it sit longer?
That's long enough , even just a spray then wipe for a minute is enough. Just want to raise the grain once then sand it down
@@CreativeCustomDesigns
You inspired me to make cutting boards and sell at my first craft show in May. I see with your boards you include a little information paper (woods, care, etc.). Would you mind sharing what you provide when you sell your boards?
Did you buy that Surfprep system after my advice I left on your original video years ago? I remember writing a long comment on saving your hands on the grooves with that system.
When you start getting the cutting boards looking good how do you determine how much to sell them for? Thanks.
I have a quick question for you.
I am new to woodworking and I’m starting little projects.
The first one was a cheeseboard. I used a planer jig (melamine )with my Dewalt 735X.
As I was planing my wood, I noticed that one end of my 20” board was becoming much thinner.
Was I shimming the wrong end of the board?
Did I need to flip over my board?
Lastly, on my planer there’s a round wheel on the left side called a Turret Stop. I have mine set a 1/8”. Is that where I want it set and when would I change that?
Thanks
Jeff
How do you figure what you charge for your boards. I’m new and still figuring out the finances of the business. Great video and have subscribed to learn as much as possible.
Wondered what the "6:8" was on your apron and it's on your wall! Nice scripture!
I am beginning at the cutting boards. What glue do you recommend and what about food grade?
You make everything look so easy thank you for all your tips. I was wondering how do you handel your sales, do you use paypal or what. Your response would be greatly appreciated Thank you
Great video man... i have a question if you have the time I'd appreciate it..... the ca glue its the same as crazy glue ? And if its isn't toxic ? Beginner here not trowing hate your way its just a concern i have
Nice dude. Come to my
Shop in Bellingham!!!!
Q for ya. The difference between face and edge? Is that just that the gluing up of taller strips than wider strips? If I'm saying that correctly. Thanks
Hey Nick, why not use double-sided tape to attach thin strips to thicker board to run through the planer?
Definitely an option. I usually don’t like to mess with double stick tape that has to be removed eventually, but there’s some better products nowadays and an option for folks to get those thinner strips!
Greetings, What would be a good lathe for someone who wants to learn to turn wood? Which lathe would you recommend?
I’d say this is the best deal: amzn.to/46SD5fz There are about five companies that have the same manufacturer for this beginner lathe. I have this version as the Rockler “Excelsior” one and it’s great. I have several Wen tools, and they do quite well for the price. I would recommend going with carbide cutters instead of traditional gouges. To maintain the sharpness of my chisels and gouges I had to spend a ton on accessories. So it’s much more affordable to just get a basic set with removable carbide cutters, like this one: amzn.to/4a8m9EJ
New subscriber, having never built a cutting board (river tables & shelves of reclaimed wood is my thing). I came into a 150 year old broken piano. Wood salvage meant lots of oak, a 3x6x5' piece of unfigured cherry (supporting sounding board), and several 3x4x3.5' pieces of old-growth doug fir. Laser straight ultra tight grain w/o a single knot, hard as a rock. Not normal, but could you use as end-grain cutting board? Anyone?
I bet you have the most beautiful cutting boards at home ❤👍
It’s hard to part with any of them!
What product do you use from the SurfPrep line do you use to sand the juice grooves? Thanks.
Looking at the video, looks like you are just using one of the square ones and using the edges?
I use the 3x4 electric ray. It’s fantastic and so versatile for loads of projects. On deeper grooves I just use the pro foam 10mm and 1/2” a little offset on the sander. Works amazingly well!
@@SixEightWoodworks thanks.
Do you have a project book that shows the measurements and and steps to building the projects
Unfortunately I don’t
I was wondering if you sell them to individuals! and if you do, how much are they, thank you.
I do. You can see the price range of my boards at www.sixeightwoodworks.com
Really like your channel and life philosophy. Hope to purchase when there are products for sale. Do you have an email list?
For the super thin pieces i would use double sided tape to stick them all down together and use a orbital sander. Easier to get them uniform that way.
Definitely an option.
Beautiful job brother. I’ve been learning some from you so thank you for that. I’m subscribed and follow you.
Thanks!
how do i get affiliate help?
Aren't face and edge grain basically the same thing in terms of the wood itself? I thought the only reason for the terminology of "edge" grain is to give a name to the process of cutting thinner face grain and flipping it to achieve a greater overall thickness.
I Have 2 Sanders A Viberating
Mouse & sheet Sander.
I'm months late here, but epoxy to fill holes on a cutting board seems like a bad idea. CA glue might be food safe, I'm not sure, but I've seen people do sawdust with tightbond glue before, might be a decent alternative
.INCLUDING JUCIE GROOVES! ===> "JUICE" is spelled incorrectly
If The Glue Squeeses Out
Won't The Project Be Glued
To The Clamps & The Table
Your showing the quarter sawn side. So don't always flip the boards. Look at the grain direction.
Great tips except for the idea of gloves and the sander. Never, never use gloves near anything spinning at a high speed. Once it grips the gloves, you could lose a finger or more.
What grit is on your drum sander for the thin strips?
I just keep 80 grit on the drum
