I do custom woodworking projects. If you are interested in a custom piece of woodwork, message me on Instagram or email through my website. I send my woodwork all over the USA. Thank you for supporting small business! Thanks for watching!

This shows the value of an efficient shop setup for a specific product, in this case cutting boards. He most likely produces three at a time since that seems to be what he's shown in the overall size of the original glue-up. Also doing long grain boards (instead of end grain) speeds up the process a lot. The juice jig and handle jig is really helpful. Nice video showing the process, I can see why he's sold so many boards.
The first sentence is very accurate..and a good reminder to myself..😅 thanks again
Hey, thanks for pointing out the obvious to us. It's like you think we didn't watch the video and you just have to summarize it for us, Because you've got nothing else to do and have a need for anyone to pay attention to you.
@@bobfarley4102and you feel the need to be the bully in the room. Nice
@@SuburbanTraditionsisn’t that an edge grain board since he cut it and flipped it up?
Because of your comment I learned what a juice jig was. Thanks for that...can't wait to build one.
Love that you showed the full process of each step. A lot of videos speed through it, which is fine, but by doing so they often cut out certain pieces that should probably be addressed. Thanks
Thank you! I tried to show all the details!
Love the simple juice ring jig you setup. Great process, thanks for sharing. Semper Fi!
Wow, this video is incredibly informative and inspiring! Your craftsmanship with walnut, maple, and cherry wood really shines through. I loved seeing the detailed process of how you create these beautiful cutting boards. The step-by-step explanation made it easy to follow along, and your passion for woodworking is truly evident. Thank you for supporting small businesses and for sharing your talent with us. I will definitely reach out through Instagram or your website for a custom piece. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!
In the middle of making my 1st cutting board (with no planer or jointer). Gonna be spending some time sanding to get it flat. This video was helpful. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
So simple but so very very nice and good. Very nice cuting boards.
Thank you!
Dang he has a nice setup in that shop.
One of the slickest operations I've ever seen.....great job man!!
Thank you!
@@hesswoodwork made a few end grain boards and would like to start selling them. getting my process down but it takes a while
Agree with Neil Jackson !!
Wow! Nice skills. Efficient. I love the no talk. Just business!
Thank you!
Nicely done man. The work is great, I also love the jigs you have for the juice groove and hand grips. I'll be looking closer the build some of my own. Well done!
Thanks!
Nicely done. How would I get the juice groove jigs. I always have a hard time with those. I'm a beginner.
Kings fine woodworking has a real nice one he sells plans for i built it an it works great any size board ..
Rockler has a nice jig set up for the juice groove...I have one on order . Anxiously waiting for it's arrival !!!
Good to know ! Thanks
I started out with the Bessey clamps and then switched to pipe clamps. You get a lot more clamping pressure and it’s much easier on your wrists.
Where did you sell them????? That's my big problem, I can make anything but I don't sell anything...
Amazon and my website.
@@hesswoodworkSo, a better question is how do you drive traffic to your website and what’s the % of visitors that buy vs kick tires or leave after a few seconds?

So cool! I am getting into the hobby and selling some and you are my main inspiration, so thanks for that!
Awesome! Thank you!
I just saw that ..I am new to this and he/you good inspiration.. glad I found you and will be watching/learning as long as you keep going ! Just subscribed !!
You're an awesome robot machine. I wanna make the hell out of these things. I'm currently disabled and can't throw a hammer, frame and trim like I used to. What was the liquid? Lin seed oil? Thank you in advance for any answers. Your work's sick. You're on top of game. Great job. I appreciate you filming it.
Thank you! I used Walrus Oils cutting board oil
I stil fave the cutting board I made in 1969. That’s when schools had woodshop as a class. Two types of wood,two dowels. Cut, drill,glue,clamp,dip in wax and rub it in. The end.
My daughter made a bread box out of oak in her woodshop class in 2017. I helped her minwax it. It is absolutely beautiful. They still have wood shop and I am jealous as all hell that I didn't have the opportunity to take a woodshop class in my high school. I'm class of 1991.
For how much did you sell them and what where you material costs and the time you spent per board? I just love how your baords look.
I doubt he make much more then a couple dollars on each board.
Nobody can make living wages on cutting boards unless they are making 100 or more at a time.
It very deceptive.
If it were making him money he wouldn’t be making silly videos.
His website in the description claims these boards are $300 and sold out. So either these are very popular or no one is paying $300 and he's not making them. I'd guess the latter.
@@augustwest8559you’d be very wrong…
You make it seem so easy, but that is the beauty of mastering a craft.
‘Mastering a craft’? He laminated strips of wood then cut them to size. Hardly difficult.
@@brendangallagher732It’s a compliment ya mor-ron. Ease up, sheez!!
@@ryankim3612 Hi. What’s a ‘mor-ron’? Is that the same as a moron? Asking for a semi-literate friend.
great work...love your workflow
Thanks!
Love the router cord coming from above
I got a laugh from the face on the router ..nose cord ! That was some funny shit ! Atleast for me anyway..ya'll have a safe day
Do you have a video on how to make the juice groove and handle jigs? That would be very helpful. Great video though. Thanks.
Would’ve loved to see a detailed camera pan of the finished product. Great work tho. Awesome boards
Sorry, I should have done a better finish. Thank you!
My full sized router jiggled a little while cutting a juice groove, I have to plane down the board and re-cut it. I'll build a jig like this one, and hopefully, it'll go better. Thanks for the video
I am glad to help!
Great looking boards!
Looks like you have a good process worked out, but the step for cutting the hand holds/grips would be faster if you could put the board in a jig horizontally so you can cut both grooves without having to reposition the board, or at most spin it around so you aren't having to clamp, reposition, re-clamp, cut, un-clamp... it's extra movement that can be streamlined to save you time.
Just a thought...hope it helps!
Thank you for the tips!
Dope planer
Wow! I’m so behind! I need a lot of machines 😢
Nice project. Just one friendly tip. When using a router, eye protection is more useful and beneficial than ear protection, much more of a risk of a router bit failing and metal fragments shooting straight through your eyeball then hearing loss.
I should wear eye protection
I had an old dewalt trim router shoot a piece of shrapnel thru a fingertip last month.
Good for you!
Thank you!
U have got it down to a perfect science bro! Very nice! Inspired!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
I enjoyed that video, thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice jig for the handles. Any details on how you made it and what router bit you used for it.
I find that it would be extremely time consuming making cutting boards if you don’t at least have a planner. The jointer is nice as well. But man the sanding is brutal and trying to get it flat with a sander is no easy task. That’s what expensive hand or power tools are for though
Very nice video I enjoyed it very much. I also make videos like yours on my channel, but i found out that it could be more effective if you are telling your community all the steps you are doing in your videos, but this should not be an criticism, just a tip for new video structures. All the best in future. I will stay watching at your channel. Thank you very much👍
What table saw is this? Beautiful cutting board after people purchases them it’ll be nice if they do a couple more coats of oil or wax
There is a certain beauty in "Production" type work, especial when you have the space and jigs set up to do one product on a large scale.
In fact, that's probably the only way to make money woodworking; creating a product that people will readily purchase, and making a "run" of
a number to maximize efficiency and profits. One would hope you could use those profits to grow the business, or create more custom projects
(if that's a goal.)
Great vid. Is there a reason you joint the faces after you've cut the strips? I've no doubt you do this for good reason, (aspiring ww here) but from what I've learned so far I thought flattening the face and then 1 edge of the starter board would have been more efficient?
Thanks! I cut pieces smaller to make it easier. I only need the two faces to be parallel for the glue up. The edges get flattened after the glue up, and then the cutting board squared up. I hope that makes sense.
Nice setup!
Thanks!
Rookie here! I read every single review, and nobody asked about the spray bottle. May I ask if that was water and what the purpose is? Many thanks!
Super efficient workflow! How do you prevent or reduce burning the wood when doing a juice groove?
Thank you! I try to keep the router moving.
Why do you choose climb cuts over push cuts?
That mini glue roller is hilarious. I want one
Parabéns belo trabalho, qual madeira você usou neste projeto
Really beautiful work. Is that Black Limba, Maple, Cherry, and Walnut?
Walnut, Maple, Cherry
Where do you get the walnut maple and cherry from?
I'm about to make my first board, also side/edge grain. I'll try walnut, kwila and accent of purple heart.
What is an ideal thickness do you think?
I make them at 1.5 inches.
In watching video some of use had a discussion on why do not drill and glue in 2 3/4 in. Hardwood Round Dowel in the cutting board so it could be washed in a dishwasher? Because you are build a product for people that do not normally have a good understanding of taking care of wood and keeping it sanitized and 6 out 10 Will throw in to the dishwasher. With all of your jigs, it looks like it would be a simple process for to add in, And you can have it being an up charge edition
Thank you for the suggestion.
You never put a wood board in the dishwasher or soak in water
How many cutting boards do you have to make to pay for all the work shop equipment?
You can figure it out
Depends on the price of each cutting board and the equipment.
PERFECT WORK! BTW what oil you use on the board?
Cutting board oil, the link is in the description!
Nice boards man! Just a quick comment. In most routers, you have to push them against the wood, are you sure you are not using it in the wrong direction?
Thanks! I have had chip when I go the other way.
Looks great. I'd like to have a 30x22 lol.
Thank you! I do custom orders!
@Hess Woodwork have to take out a loan as high as wood is lol. They look good
Good work. But my question is where do you sell them, and how?
Nice. Good video.
Thank you!
very nice!...
Love the jig you used for the handle.
Would love it if you could share some financials on this but totally understand if not.
Thank you! Maybe I will make a video in the future about that!
Yes good point
All the equipment. Machines etc cost an arm and a leg to buy
Great vid, thanks. What oil did you use at the end?
Could you please advise the different woods used :)
Im just beginning, but dont have a jointer or planer. Are there alternatives?
"Those boards aren't gonna cut them self's" Intro
Haha
Kudos
What kind of router bits are you using, if I may ask? They seem to be pretty decent.
Superbly made 😊
Thank you!
Nice! Which bits did you use to make the juice groove?
I think it is called a box bit
Well done mate. Great job. What oil are you using to oil thd board at the end please?
The link is in the description!
What was that oily type liquid that was rubbed into the wood towards the end?
Cutting board oil
@@hesswoodwork what brand do you recommend?
@hesswoodwork how do people using cutting boards that aren't from a solid piece of wood keep from getting glue or the sealer used to prevent glue from getting on there searing hot steaks ect ect? Thanks
The world will never know, as one has actually never sold.
Do you have design specs for the jigs you used ?
Awesome! What is that finish you're using? Mineral oil?
Thats walrus oil, or cutting board oil, which is a mix of mineral oil, beeswax, and maybe some other natural waxes/oils.
Walrus oil
Great looking cutting board !! Do you ever have an issue with the oil turning the maple darker ?
Thank you! The oil makes all the woods darker.
Hi, what kind of sealant do you use? Thanks!
I wanna get into this. What would you recommend I should do first?
Be advised i have very little money to invest into this.
What I did, is made boards then posted videos of them, and they sold.
Ahhh, routing grooves into the top of a cutting board. Making the transfer of diced vegetables into the pan a pain in ass since someone first tried it.
Yes, I usually use the other side without the groove.
What do they sell for? I have access to free hardwood material and want to do similar.
what type of wood is recommended for this kind of work? -By the way great work.
I used Walnut, Maple, and Cherry.
@hesswoodwork how do people using cutting boards that aren't from a solid piece of wood keep from getting glue or the sealer used to prevent glue from getting on there searing hot steaks ect ect? Thanks
Bravo!
Thank you!
Nice to see all the process
Yes!
Very nice! Do you mostly sell on line?
Thank you! Yes, here is my website.

What type of people did you target? I’ve had zero luck in getting my product started. Any tips?
A large majority of my sales come from my tiktok. Some of my videos got millions of views, and that lead to lots of sales.
He's lying to you. He's trying to seem successful in hopes that it launches an actually successful youtube channel. He's making no money. He's providing you no specifics. He's a loser and a fraud.

Great video thanks. I have made 2 of these for wife and friends and considering selling them. How much do you get for them? I have seen them on marketplace for 250+ on marketplace is this accurate? Thanks in advance.
Here is what I sell them for on my website.

@@hesswoodwork Cheers. Around what I expected.
Do you have videos or plans on your grove jigs?
No, sorry.
Do you have plans for the finger handles jig on the side?
I do not have plans, sorry.
❤
how much do you sell them for?
$299
How much does one board cost?
How much do you charge for your cut boards
Great
Thanks!
Are you saying that you have now sold your 500th cutting board? Your Title to your You Tube Build is not quite clear. Nice build though and beautiful work!
I sold over 500 cutting boards. Thank you!
Yes, that’s exactly what your title says but nothing in your video mentions anything about quantities of boards sold so that’s why it doesn’t make any sense. I’m not trying to be a jerk but your title doesn’t fit your video.
@@mass112594 He's a fraud. It's pretty fucking simple.
The title is very clear
Love it bro I’m starting my project thanks
Thank you!
You should show how you spread glue on 600 pieces, it would be more interesting.....🙈🙈🙈
OK, so I’m curious as to how you were able to get 500 boards sold. I’ve had a Shopify page for about two months now and don’t even have one hit on it. I’ve been to numerous craft shows and I’ve had very little success so what’s your secret?
Some of my Tiktok videos got millions of views, and my website is in my Tiktok bio.
@@hesswoodwork I appreciate your reply. My apologies if I came off as a smartass. Your work is very impressive.
How long did it take you to get all those Jiggs figured out? Lol
What finish did you apply at the end?
Cutting board oil or you can use food grade mineral oil
so we eat a little bit of glue every time we use the cutting board :o
Not true
Do you sell in Canada?
Flip your clamps around so you don’t get that bow and better glue up
Where did you sell all your cutting boards ?
Most of them were on Amazon, but I don't sell them anymore on Amazon.
@@hesswoodwork Where's a link?
On his website.... for $500 for 1 cutting board. And they're "sold out". Dude is so completely full of crap. And he didn't sell them on Amazon or else he'd link Amazon. Who makes stuff to sell, has a youtube channel about making it to sell, but not readily provide a link to said amazon page anywhere so people can buy more (or in the first place)?
@@the99thtimelord16 www.amazon.com/Hess-Woodwork-Handcrafted-Reversible-Authentic/dp/B09CR8BQNR?ref_=ast_sto_dp
@@hesswoodworkSo there's 26 of them. 474 to go. Oh yeah, you said you sold 12 from your 7M view tiktok video. 462 to go.
How many days for the oil to be really absorbed
I let them soak overnight, and wipe off the extra the next day.
What kind of oil do you use?
How long do you let the glue dry before you move on
Usually overnight, but at least 3-4 hours.
@Hess Woodwork thats the same I do my endgrains even sitting longer than that don't want to have one just fall apart my biggest fear
@@Dodgingsimulatorreasonable fear. I made a 2x4 axe target with titebond 3. Clamped the shit out of it for 24 hrs. Hit it once with a hatchet and it fell apart. Reassembled it with polyurethane glue and clamped the shit out of it for another 24 hours. It's been indestructible ever since. So yeah, I understand the concern. I also spoke to a guy at rockler about different adhesives and when I mentioned outside he agreed that polyurethane was the way to go and that's what he did and screw tight bond three. I also am surprised at glue comparison videos that show that tight bond is as strong as polyurethane glue because my experience is that when you try to pull apart something glued with polyurethane it'll rip the wood fibers every single time whereas that only happens some of the time with wood glue. I'm certainly not an expert though
How many could you do in a day ?
It depends, about 5 or 6
You've got it dialed in. Nice work. Saved this video. 👍
Thank you!
How many cutting boards have to be sold to pay for all that pro equipment. 1000000? ;)
I bought these tools from money I made remolding houses.
