    I built this simple cutting board with breadboard ends using mostly hand tools. I surfaced the rough board using my scrub plane and No. 7 bench plane. The breadboard ends function to help keep the board flat over time, they allow for seasonal expansion and contraction. I tried to build most of the project using only hand tools, however I did use my power drill to drill holes. The wood is reclaimed cypress, which turned out to have beautiful colors in the grain.

      You can, Im 66 and have learned over the years all my lief - I collect and use hand tools - - you are lucky to live in utube age - which is like having a master craftsman in you house - buy some 2 hand - hand tools - Stanley planes and saws and - English chisels from eBay - make a mallet as first project - make a bench as second project - use pallet scrap timber - you need just a very small space - Japanese saws are good but work backwards - go for it young person - you'll be glad you did as you got the bug.

    You are in my opinion are a true wood orker, a true craftsman. I could never saw a board straight, but with all the modern toys, gadgets and jogs, even I can have some success in woodworking. You, my friend,
    are the real craftsman and what an experience to watch you, Thank you,

    • @shirts2003
      @shirts2003 5 років тому

      Mineral oil. Apply till the wood refuses to absorb more. Then you can apply a single coat of beeswax but not required.
      After awhile you'll notice the wood start to appear "dry" just reoil.
