Popular Post ..Kev Posted December 23, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I know, it's a day early but, I'm taking the weekend off except for a good shop clean up! Merry Christmas! We usually see cutting boards this time of year and I'm usually guilty of making them for gifts as well. This year, I decided to turn on the camera to show how I build them. These will be end grain with the wavy lines. There will be 2 videos for these so, the other one will be out after Christmas. Also, I'm learning new video software so, be kind to me 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Kev, The initial rip cut and glueing them back in the same order was to break up the grain pattern a tad? Also, can we assume you went to a circ saw to cross cut the board into sections, thus the burn marks on the ends? Great video as always! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this to make smaller pieces to reduce the chances of warping or cupping. I could have flip/flopped them as well but, chose not to. As for the burns, yes. I ended up going to the chop saw because the board was really flat with a good edge on it. That's not typical with lumber fresh from the hardwood dealer so, I chose to leave the video clip in there of the way it really should be done for safety reasons.

legenddc Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 So you cut the wide pieces and glued them back in the same order? I was a little confused late last night when I was watching it. Thanks for all the videos. I don’t know what it is about them, but I really like them and it’s always great to see them pop up in my YouTube subscription feed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the initial glue up, yes, I kept them in the same order. Helps with warping and cupping. It also creates the cross lines so that the next glue up looks like small squares. I could have altered them but, chose not to on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Thanks for the video Kev. Is there an decent alternative to the drum sander? I've been planning on making some, but the lack of the sander is holding me back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been planning on making some, but the lack of the sander is holding me back. Was actually giving this some thought as I was running them.. If I didn't have the drum sander, I honestly think I'd build a small router sled and flatten that way before going to the ROS. Would be an easy set up to toss together that could probably be done out of shop scrap. Still more ROS work than you'd have starting with a DS but, would still be much faster than trying to do it all by sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 That makes sense. I've got a full year to get that done, so it should work. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..Kev Posted December 31, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Time to finish these up! Wavy lines, decorative edges, and salad bowl finish. Sorry these weren't in time for Christmas! Next week's video will be another quick and easy gift idea that works well in just about any home. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Another nice project and video. Whats the final size? Looks like about 12 X 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Thank you once again for a great video. I noticed the blade on your bandsaw was pretty narrow. What size is it? I only ask because I almost always run a 3/4" to 1" blade on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
