Wow. This brings back so many memories lol. I'm a full time woodworker and I've probably made close to 500-600 end grain cutting boards in my career.
I struggled and struggled to make quality end grain cutting boards. The binding on the table saw, squaring with the table saw, clamping with cauls, flattening with a router sled, sanding for 2 years with a Random Orbital Sander... This is exactly what I used to do lol. I kept saving from my project sales and I was able to upgrade my tools. A helical head planer is the biggest help in making these. Got a super nice quality dedicated rip blade from Skarpaz... I changed the way that I build cutting boards, and I got a Rotex sander. Now I can legitimately make 1 high quality end grain cutting board from beginning to end in about an hour and 15 minutes. Not counting glue drying times.
You did a great job man. You are showing people you don't need 10k in tools to make a beautiful product, and that's a message I hope the world knows about woodworking. I'm passionate about that message
I make high quality end grain boards from tools I bought off of facebook marketplace.
$75 for an 80s craftsman table saw, $150 for a 1960s craftsman jointer, $300 planer, a Walmart hand sander. I do have access to any tool at my work, because I work at a woodshop, but I rarely have to. You don't need the best of the best to make good stuff. As long as your tools can cut square and straight, and the cutters are sharp, you can do just about anything
Nice job, man. It is very refreshing to see woodworkers on CZcams that don't have all the high end fancy tools that most others seem to have. It is very encouraging to woodworkers like myself who can somehow manage to make quality products while not having the high end tools. Keep up the good work!
I am pretty new to woodworking. Made this board as a gift to my brother and sister, they came out beautiful. Thank you!
Great video to show the importance of having the right tools and materials for the job to avoid extra work and frustration.
You have a good sense of humor and a terrific voice. I love the final product. Thank you for this very useful video.
You’re hardcore dude. Nice work using what you had to work with. Glad to see your perseverance and dedication to make it happen.
I had to run an extension cord to my garage because I kept tripping the breaker as well. I was able to add a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the table saw without doing an entire panel in the shop. I like that you showed some problems and problem solving - it helps to know other people run into issues and not just me.
Brandon, great instructions for a great build, built a router sled that took some tweaking to get the cuts to be level with a 1 1/2 inch surfacing bit, but once dialed in, a really nice system for both edge surfacing and end grain. Your video is very clear and easy to understand, well done.
I appreciate the kind words! Glad it helped.
I realize this is an older video, but I wanted to let you know that I really like this pattern. So much so that I am making one as a wedding gift for my son.
Having said that, it was sooo painful to watch you struggle to rip that maple up. A dedicated rip blade will save time and effort. Nice video!
I'm glad you like it!
Nice tip on the clamps along the seam to force into alignment.
THAT is an excellent build! And, you've got some great woodworking skills. I've never built a Basket Weave pattern cutting board before. I think I'll try now. Thanks!
Thanks James! That means a lot coming from you!
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me!
@Stefan Davion instablaster =)
@Maison Heath i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Maison Heath it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
Nice job. You are right, a rip blade would make your life easier. I had a 1.75HP craftsman and was easily able to rip 8-¼ maple.
Nice! It’s cool how the lines look curved even though they aren’t.
It's amazing the optical illusions you can pull off with just some blocks of wood!
I enjoyed your wit as much as the build.
It's very inspiring and is on my bucket list of new projects to try.
Yeah, I had the same problem with the breaker and I got tired of running down to the basement to reset the breaker so I finally got a sub panel installed into the garage. What a difference! I haven't tripped a breaker since the install and even if I do, the box is only a few feet away to reset it. Such an improvement!
I've found that moving to a thin kerf blade on my underpowered table saw did wonders for cuts like that... I've also found that when the saw just isn't doing it's job, doing a rough cut on the bandsaw then a cleanup pass on the table saw gets the job done (or send it thru the thickness planer) I had to do this with some 8/4 cherry slabs that burned just looking at my table saw
Hi, Brandon. As a Weaver, I was delighted to see "plain-weave fabric" as the design for your cutting board! Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA.
Brandon, beautiful work, a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing this build with us. I love how you managed to stand next to yourself and narrate the process. You are part magician as well.
You got me at "Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Seriously Overthinking" Story of my life! Subbed
at first I thought oh no a 34 minute video I don't know if I can do it , but man you know very good job dude and I'm glad I stayed for the lesson . First time I seen one of your videos had fun and subscribed look forward to the next one 😁 and to all you thumb downers you guys are crazy
I'm number 414! Nice build with mere mortal tools that look the ones in my "unsponsored" shop. Really cool design..
Adding a couple of inexpensive shop lights would do wonders for your videos. Using manual exposure settings would help too, as I think your automatic settings are picking up the white wall behind you, and leaving you way too dark. Also, speeding up the video during some of the longer steps (flattening, routing the edge, etc.) or just cutting from the start to the end of that process would help the pace of the vid, and shorten it overall.
The woodworking is great. Most of us struggle with tools that are the best we can afford, but not as nice as we would wish. You achieved a nice result. I'll keep watching!
I agree about the video tips, there's a lot of great info here but this video doesn't need to 34 minutes long, it could easily be 15, probably 10. The first 5 or 6 minutes could almost entirely be cut out. The router sled scene could be a good minute or 2 shorter, any milling that is not unique to this project (and there is some that was important) could be basically eliminated. A large amount of people will not bother to look at a video over 10 to 15 minutes unless it is very complicated from creator they know well. Again, this is really informative and I enjoyed it but i found myself fast forwarding a lot. This same video at 10 or 11 minutes would probably have 100K views already (at 27K as of this writing) I'd love to see how a re-edit of this would perform. Anyway, keep at it!
Excellent job in the end. Use small wood wedges to keep the cuts slightly open on the table saw and use Diablo blades. Every time you run something past a blade, you take a little more of your hard work away no matter how hard you try to prevent it.
You might want to consider (if you haven’t done so already) to wax the table saw surface, when it’s not slippery enough we end up pushing harder which skews the wood a bit and causes the blade to bend and not cut properly and gets jammed
It’s been the case for me
WOW do I lkie this design. Excellent balnce between simplisty and complexity. I'm going to make a few of these as a high end items. Also excellent presentation. One that makes the viewer want to pay attention
Thanks!
Thanks for the detailed walkthrough of this process. I wish you a happy new year and a new Sawstop (maybe even a bandsaw?) for your shop!
Well done
Stunning board 👍
That's a beautiful board! I have never seen that type of design on a cutting board, and it looks easier than I expected. I may have to give that a try sometime. Thanks for the idea!!
It really is pretty simple once you break down the steps. Thanks for watching!
Good job 👍🏼 beautiful cutting board
Just created mine off of this video. Maple and Purpleheart. Thanks Brandon!
I'll bet that looks good! Glad you found it helpful.
i love that you also have a small workshop/shed/garage to work from. you have the added advantage of electricity my shed does not have so i have to run extension cords out to mine for my power tools. i still get the job done. i also had to make my own table saw (since they are super expensive here in Australia) made my own table top and mounted my skill saw to the underside. its not pretty and not always accurate but i manage with it. sadly even the least expensive table saw i can find over here costs between $500 - $600. that is the Ryobi RTS1825RG 1800w motor with 10" blade. guess i should make and sell lots of cutting boards to pay for it. however the different species of lumber you have access to is also very expensive to buy over here. so maybe.
I had the same exact saw. When I got my powermatic 66 5hp I never had that problem anymore. Awesome board.
Great presentation, Brandon! You make the project look simple enough for even me to try. A suggestion, make yourself a portable swamp cooler to use in the shop. There is always somebody getting rid of stuff, keep an eye out on Craig's list or the other sites, or even habitat for humanity re-use shops. Building a rolling base for the cooler might make an interesting video for your channel. We made one out of scrap steel and wheelchair wheels that I hauled out of a dumpster. Hooked up to a hose and positioned at the side door to our garage, it cools our garage shop at least 20 deg F. I could send a picture if you need an jdea.
Swamp coolers work well in dry environments...not so well in humid environments. Nice suggestion.
You are very easy to understand. I would like to see more projects from you.
Thank you!
I liked your project so much that I spent the last few days making one. Mine came out pretty good but not as good as yours. My biggest problem was keeping the dimensions the same (on the strips) after the second glue up. Your precision must be much better than mine. Thank you for the inspiration and instruction.
That’s awesome. Thank you for sharing. New sub. I glue 2x4 s to the ends of my cutting boards and they run through the planer without issue.
I've does that too, and it worked great. Once I get a helical head planer I'll probably do it that way with all of them like MTM does. I'm just a little leery of showing that method on a video lest the safely police issue a warrant for my arrest 😅
Great video. Very nice board. I’m not big on the 3D boards and illusion patterns, but I like this, I think I’ll make one. Thanks for sharing. I have a CZcams video on a few boards I’ve made. You can see the styles I’ve come up with that I like. I’ve only made a handful of boards. If you feel inclined to check them out, if so let me know what you think. Thanks
.
This is really beautiful. The only thing I might do differently is to add a dark border. I KNOW what a pain end-grain borders are, but the open ends of the weave along the edges just bother me somehow. But WOW! Watching it go into the oil is just breathtaking!
Cool video. Having equipment problems is very relatable. Successful completion of complex projects... not so much! 😫
I managed to get a deal several years ago on a Powermatic 3 hp cabinet saw. I love it but then again it’s not a saw stop. But I can’t see where I can justify the cost of a new saw at my age and game. That was a beautiful build. I really enjoyed the video.
Great trick to use clamps to align while glueing.
Brandon great job with the basket weave cutting board
Thanks!
Very nice indeed.
Used your video to make my own. 2nd one i made is perfect. Thank you! for the instruction 🙂
Great job
was jealous when I saw his tablesaw at first but my old craftsman would go through that in one pass.
Mine does now that I got a rip blade.
Great job ! keep being you and what you do ...the subs will come. you got me as a sub when the piece almost fell and you kept your cool and was able to save it from dropping LOL ! and of course the glue remark about James from Kings fine woodworking, i'm an old guy that loves woodworking and you have brightened my day God Bless & keep makin dust.
Beautiful build. Also, I'm a vet tech of 18 years. And the shirt is right - you don't know when she'll be home.
Try starting the cut, then as the piece clears the back of the table, shut the saw down and put a wedge or a shim in the kerf to keep it open.
I went to a grizzly 3hp. I had a pm 3hp in my cabinet shop, they are made by jet. The grizz is a great saw and holds a 13/16 dado. I have the 240v with the cast iron router table ext wing. Much cheaper than the rest and performs the best.
WOWZERS! This is a complicated project to make, but the end result sure does look good!
Thanks!
Awesome design. It turned out great. Im going to give this one a try.
Thanks! Let me know how it turns out.
I loved the 3D effect you got plus the wood's shades were awesome after the polishing, nice work.
Thanks!
Hey, great job!
You can use a circular saw ripping blade they are the same size arbor and have a thinner kerf
Well done. Enjoyed your video and the design of the board. If Saw Stop doesn't hear you, it's their loss. Good luck,,I subbed and look forward to more from you.
Coolest looking cutting board I’ve seen!
Thanks!
Good looking board👍
Cutting thick woods with a table saw stick a shim into the end of the cut. That should help out a lot.
Loved you video THANKS. I'm trying to make one we will see what happens.
Instead of a 40-tooth combo bit, I use a Freud "glue line rip" blade. It is great and lives up to its name. I get perfect book matches with no jointer work. Highly recommend it. It's 5 years old and cuts like new. For crosscut, I use a 60-tooth Forrest.
I got a 24 tooth Freud after I made this video. Cuts like buttah now!
@@brandonthebuildertx Gentlemen. Buying one now. But read Reports regarding loosing teeth. Any comments?
@@BarrySumpter I have had zero problems with any if my Freud blades. Would still highly recommend them to anyone.
@@brandonthebuildertx Absolute champion for replying so quickly. Ordering now.
Nice work
Great board, and i enjoyed the in-depth description of what and how you did it... Subscribed.. Paul in the UK
I've watched your video twice.... Hopefully get the courage to start on it sooner...
cool very good your work shows all the details
Funny your had the same issue I had. Every time I ripped a board, I would trip the breaker. I had an electrician friend help me run a 20 amp circuit for my saw and other tools.
Loved the video thanks for explaining every step clearly I am off to build one.
Love your antique table saw. I also have and use old tools. That saw should be able to cut that Maple better than it does I would think. If your saw is 220v capable, convert it and make a dedicated plug. If you're not sure, take the motor off and into a local electric motor repair shop and they can tell you straight off. They can also rewire it for you.They may also have a motor laying around that can go 220v if yours won't. It will make a world of difference. It also sounds like your fence may not be perfectly square to the blade, might want to check that with a dial indicator. And lastly, get rid of that cheap blade. Im not saying go spend a paycheck on a forrest blade, but Tenyru is a great blade at half the cost. About $60 on Amazon for a 50 tooth combo and they make cuts like butter. I use the SL-25550C. I started using them on my job site table saw that was way under powered.
Anyway, love the board. can you post the dimensions of the blocks you made to make this? The audio is not the best and I could not hear them. Thanks
Beautiful!! I make cutting boards and chopping blocks and I'm always looking for a new design! I think I am going to use Poplar (green) and Sugar Maple (white) for mine! I love yours!
I like the European demonstrations because they shut the camera off during repetitive cuts or operations. You don’t watch Mundane movements over and over.
Awesome video and cutting board!! I didn’t even fast forward once while watching it!
Awesome design, I’m definitely going to give it a try. Any chance you might post plans with dimensions? Sorry, I’m a newbie trying to wrap my head around it. Great presentation and sense of humor!
Very nice job
Thanks!
Try switching to a thin kirf blade and rewiring TS to 230v
It was a thin kerf. Unfortunately I don't have 230 run to the shop yet. I'm also sorry about what happened to your character development in season 8.
Fantastic! It is a pitty that your video is kind of dark, but I loved it.
Thanks! I ended up putting in a bunch of LED lights later which has made a huge difference in the lighting.
Very nice.
Absolutely beautiful
Forrest thin kerf blades cut hard maple like butter.
I picked up one of the Freud rip blades and it's working great. I wish I hadn't waited so long, haha.
Great video Brandon...sub added. Hope I can take your expertise to my bench! Awesome cutting board!
Great video and awesome looking board. Thanks.
Thank you!
WOW !!! Amazing job man.
Thank you!
Amazing. Great job.
Great presentation - and I gotta tell you - your sense of humor and method of delivering it is spot on for me! Nice job all around!
Thanks!
Man, watching you slice up that maple was painful. You could see the stress in the board, probably half the problem. I recently had the same problem, went with an Amana 40t blade instead of the 50t combo blade i was using. Slightly slower, but consistient feed rate, and super clean cuts. All on my "only" 1.5hp saw.
Since that video (you can see it in my newest two videos) I picked up a Freud Industrial 24 tooth rip blade. Man...8/4 hard maple like butter. I should have made that purchase years ago.
Band saws work wonders for this, too. Much easier to cut with and you lose less material.
Very nice build!
Thanks!
very nice, i like the cutting board and the video.
Nice work. Thank-you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful!
I have a powermatic my buddy has a saw stop as far as I concerned there both good
Titebond III is food safe and waterproof, whereas TB II is just waterproof. I’ll pay a little extra for the TB III. I’ve made enough boards out of TB I & II back in the day when I was first starting out.
TB2 is also listed by TB as food safe. Most of the professional cutting board makers I know use 2 as well. But if 3 gives people more peace of mind more power to 'em 🙂
Looks great. Love it 👍👍
Looks like you may be cutting on the back side of the blade on your table saw. The fence may not be parallel to the blade. Nice work on the cutting board.
thanks for showing us how to make this cutting board. i suspect that your fence is not parallel to the blade. if you are burning the wood and it is hard to push through the cut after the end of the board gets past the back of the blade its a good bet the fence is not square to the blade but after looking closer a second time it appears that the board is pinching the blade due to stresses in the board. well done changing your approach to cutting this board by making several shallow cuts. i would have done the same. sawstop is great but i prefer powermatic. :)
I have it set up so that the fence is about a thousandth farther from the blade at the back. The biggest issue what that piece was that it had a bunch of tension in the board, and it was closing up and pinching the blade.
IF you glue a SACRIFICIAL piece at each end on final glue up, then the piece can be put through your thicknesser without exploding, the just cut off the sacrificial pieces on final sizing :)
Big thumbs up, just for your safety approach alone . I can tell you don't mess around with safety. You had a good teacher, you must have...probably one that's on your ass before you can blink, when you didn't listen! haha
Man, I see people doing STUPID stuff on CZcams, with that one dumb argument 'I know what I'm doing'....
I can't help but to get pissed off.
Good job!
Great looking board. Enjoyed the video, I couldnt help noticing that at 22:50 you clearly state you are using Titebond II as thats what the professionals use, yet at 30:45 when you start sanding your helper picks up and examines a bottle of Titebond III Ultimate... Hah, thought we wouldnt notice, huh?
Good eye, I didnt even notice 😂 That bottle is nearly empty, and what was still in there was about dried up. I'm pretty sure I just put it there to use as a prop.
Tite bond 3 gives more open time and is the only food safe glue that I'm aware of and a gallon is only a couple of bucks more
TB 2 is also food safe.
@@brandonthebuildertx not according to TB also TB 3 more water proof as per TB
Yes, according to Titebond. www.titebond.com/product/glues/2ef3e95d-48d2-43bc-8e1b-217a38930fa2
Also, the extra waterproofness of TB3 isn't a factor since a board should never be receiving more than a light surface washing.
This is seriously awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Very Well Done!! Dont ever get discouraged about not having the best of the best in your shop. Half of the hacks on youtube are advert/marketing whores and would probably eat their young for a Dewalt Planer. Looks like you've got a tight area to work in. I'd recommend a Shopsmith. With your patience and attention to detail, a secondhand Mark V20 would suit you well for the space you have. Either way as long as you are safe while working that's the important part. This is up there with some of the Best Designs I've seen over the course of a few years. Dont Lose that. I saw that KFW commented. He does excellent work so that should tell you you dont need all the glam and flash, just a good solid creative brain. Thanks again for this video. Learned more from it than half the BS floating around in 2 years lol
Excellent video - you have a great voice 33:13
Beautiful board ! Tell your twin bro that i think titebond 3 is rated for food contact where the others are not. Picked up that tidbit from mtm wood.
When you are cutting your 1/4" strips you might find it easier to cut joint the egde and cut one strip off. Then joint the saw cut off your wide piece and cut another strip. This will give you strips with one edge already flat and smooth and ready for the thickness planer. I foundthis easier than trying to joint a 1/4" thick piece.
