In short, I can just tell you that at first I didn't think a CNC had a place in my shop. And now, I'm very happy to have it and am constantly thinking of projects where I can use it. There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get comfortable with its capabilities, you start to see how it can be used to simplify certain tasks or to accomplish things that normally you wouldn't have been able to do. Couple that with how affordable it is, and the X-carve is a great choice. I encourage you to check out the links that take you to Inventables. There, you can configure a machine sized appropriately for your shop with as many or as few bells and whistles that you want. Plus, Easel (the CNC software) is free for anyone to sign up and tinker with. Hope that helps! X-Carve: www.inventables.com/technologies/x-carve?ref=fisher (FREE!)

@@FishersShop I think Tommy was maybe hinting at a vidio review, however, that was a great endorsement, just by reading that has sold me at least. Oh, and of course your vidio was great, but not quite as good as your sense of humour. Yes, that's a compliment, take it anyway you like 😃👌✔
Gordon Chapman I wasn’t hinting at a video review, however, I think it would be great. I’ve been on the fence about getting one, so I am doing research. Looks promising.
@@FishersShop Hey, sorry for asking this two months after the video, but what size x-carve are you using? I've been resistant to the idea of a CNC, but I've decided it's just another woodworking tool, a fairly expensive one but hey, you can't take it with you.
Same with small planes when breaking edges. Go towards the middle on the edge and inch or so then come back down the length of the edge the other way towards the inch or so you already beveled. This will prevent the edges from chipping out.
I always appreciate the outtakes. As a beginning woodworker, it's nice to see someone much more skilled than I am still make silly measuring mistakes. Helps me not beat myself up over it.
That was one of the better cutting board videos I’ve seen to date! I need to make one for my RV and I continue to avoid doing it. A video like this makes it less intimidating. While I don’t have a CNC, planner or jointer, I think I can manage something that meets our needs. Always hilarious and always informative. Thank you!!
Really loved the quote on the board. I may create something to hang in our kitchen using that. Board turned out great! And definitely an interesting effect at the end! Never even knew "chatoyance" was a word! Thanks for the education as always!
Wow Drew... time absolutely flies when I’m watching your videos. Loved this one and the finished product is stunning. The jokes at the end were also worth the price of admission. Great job!
Wow! I think this is the first time that I actually did a UA-cam video marathon. Thank you so much for keeping it real, easy to understand and love your humor sprinkled all over the place. Keep it up! I am learning more and more.
From India Amazing color combo. Loved watching every bit of it. Going to make my brother to make one for me. Capt in the merchant navy,but passionate about wood work & selt taught.
I was just about to walk outside and plane an end grain cutting board to see if that worked. This video saved me many hours of rebuilding. Thank you. 😘 Davis
Haha, yeah putting end-grain through the planer isn't a great idea. Using the CNC is perfect for it though. And on larger pieces, you'd probably have to use a router sled. Thanks for watching!
***NEW to your channel*** I've watched many woodworking videos on how to make a butcher blocks however I must say yours is the most entertaining well narrated video and because of this I had to subscribe 👌💯
i love this channel. it sucks that i have to buy all my own powertools now that i don't live with my dad. guess that cnc machine is going to have to wait
Beautiful..........I see what you did here. When your wife finds out you used her favorite comb,thats when you spring the cutting board on her, Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing. I had the same idea with the plate recess a while back and then forgot to make it, so thanks for the help bringing the idea back. Love the way the inlay turned out
108k subscribers eh? I'm not surprised, you always come out with such high quality builds. Make me one and ship it to Scotland for being such a long time fan?!?
huh... that "light reflection" in the grain after cutting is a neat effect. Thanks for sharing. That board is gorgeous. Wish I had the tools to make one myself. :-)
This piece is so beautiful that you could probably sell them and get at least half what they are worth! Time and effort in the shop always makes my projects cost way more than anyone would pay.
After having the X-carve for awhile, mind giving a review on it? Heard good and bad things and would love to hear your take.

Thoroughly enjoy your videos, content, and humor.
Glad to hear it
Like how you prevented tear out on the corners with the router. I learned something. Great job.
I came here to say the same thing!
Yep. Thank you.

Those CNC machines open up a gizillion possibilities. Very nicely done.
I really liked the bit at the end about the way the wood appeared to change color with the different angles. Really cool!
Really liked the presentation, dude! The stop motion bits and all of the quick tips along the way were fantastic.
That idea of a cutout for the plate is absolute brilliant
Outstanding work and an even better sense of humor.....
Thanks. :)
The plate space is brilliant!
Stumbled onto this. Love the details. Learned plenty and am very partial to the dad jokes. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful job! The plate recess is a great idea.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful, love the personalized
Thank you! 🤗

All of the above and I clicked "thumbs up" to crush a troll.
The speed square routing tip is a good one! Thank you!
Great job! Love you builds... and keen sense of humor!

OUCH! Pun-itive action should be taken against both of you. Don't mind me...just frustrated because I couldn't think of anything to top you two.

@@21mph12 Oh man, you're killing me...Have a great day!

Nothing to add, but, I want to play in your sandbox! :-)

I come for the laughs and then I learn something. Wow!
Nice job, great looking board and prayer
