- Why did I do such a huge batch of product? That's a good question... I blame CZcams!
Start to finish of 4 months of work here in Alaska.
We are here because of CZcams and all of you amazing people who have grown to love the channel and the product. We really appreciate you!!
These videos are kind of a woodworking Vlog where its about more then just the product. My family, friends and of course this great state of Alaska.
150 edge grain cutting boards, 350 Coasters and 70 cheese boards.
I apologize, its been almost 5 months since my last full length video. I am going to work harder at bringing you guys and gals more content soon with the change of direction at the big shop.
Once again, the guy driving the car who hit my truck had a medical emergency. He got banged up but is okay. I only included this in the video with his permission. 8 weeks later and still nothing has been done about my truck. The important part here is no one died, life is short. Hug your love ones...
These videos are kind of a woodworking Vlog where its about more then just the product. My family, friends and of course this great state of Alaska.
Production of this shop consists of cutting boards, butcher blocks, cheese boards, coasters, bowls, tables, countertops and more.

Trucks are replaceable. You were lucky to have not been out there when it was hit. I am glad the man driving the other car was able to recover. Have you ever thought about using some of the small offcuts as knife scales for bladesmiths? I bet there are some CZcams knife makers that would love to have some. - Leaving this up here but I just read the extended "read more" section about matching knives. Way cool. But a collaboration with you and Will Stelter or Kyle Royer would be cool.
Thanks Ron, will have to check those guys out. Cheers
I like this idea. I'm sure Will would have no problem.
Seems like you didn't watch the whole video
@@tamachining I did watch till the end. I made the comment while watching the beginning as I thought of it. Then later, after I watched till the end and reading the extended section, I edited it. I still believe that a collaboration with LOTS of knife makers would be damned cool. The knife making community on CZcams is pretty close knit.
Great idea, the knife community is after small grain patterns. The average scale is 1” by 5” by the thickness.
I have been woodworking as a hobby for about 40 years now and
This is the second video I watched of yours and I have to say that you have inspired me to pursue a small Business of my own that I’ve been wanting to do a few years now.
And I will continue watching your videos. Thank You
You should do - he is selling these for $300 to $2250 each
How does "Goodman the Woodman" sound as a business name? LOL! Good luck!
@@piccalillipit9211 This product looks and feels like to last for generations. It’s a steal to have these exotic woods with prize winning craftsmanship.
Seeing your truck get hit hurt my soul. I’m sorry for your loss. 😢😢😢
Your repeatability is out of this world. Ive often wondered how time consuming that level of custom work can be. Mind blown and I have mad respect for your work. Great work and content!
I am totally blown away by the care and attention to detail and lots and lots of work you put in your products. And the video ain’t bad either : ))
Much appreciated Bert!
Dear sir you are a very hard working guy. I hope you make a good living from it. You deserve it.
Good luck
Raymond🏴
@24:45 this really takes the old saying, "If you can't Dodge it, RAM it" to a whole new level!
Its like arranging pieces of puzzle a very pains taking job but at the end the result really worth it.
Good work.
Stay safe stay blessed.
I've done lots of grueling, repetitive work in my life, but watching you makes me feel like I ain't seen NOTHIN' yet! Every one of those boards was gorgeous! Your choice of woods, colors and patterns is very appealing and tasteful-- like the Duesenbergs of cutting boards. Just wow.
You should get an award for your organisational skills. Keeping track of all those bits of wood, glued parts and boards. Just wow. 😊
I agree. The sheer amount of coordination going into this work is astonishing. My poor squirrel brain can barely manage coordinating coffee into a cup.
Appreciate that
What a focused and complicated production. Not only the woodworking but the excellent video. Well done.
I'm sorry about your truck! I'm glad he wasn't driving by 4 minutes sooner! 🙌
Just beautiful, beautiful work! 🤩👌
I’m just amazed how quick your business has grown and how you keep adding new tools and have improved the efficiency of building the cutting boards. Great job!
It's been such an amazing ride following the channel since the first viral video. It's wild how far he's been able to upgrade the shop in such a short amount of time.
Its been a wild ride for sure. Thank you Eric!
Thank you Don
Your creativity and finished products are absolutely awesome!
I’m wondering if you are debt free ?
I have to admit I have some serious shop and talent envy, but then I get to the end of the video and just have to think DAMN. I think I will just buy products from you as I'd lose my mind trying to make things as nice as yours. Thank you for making me appreciate quality even more.
Appreciate the kind words Jon.
Absolutely inspiring, thank you for letting us in.
I love the attention to detail. I have learned a lot watching these. Thanks a million!
Thank God you and the young man are okay. I do mean Thank God. Looking forward to your next projects.
Thank you Suzette
Kudos on the successful scaling!
Your ability to scale up and not lose your mind is commended!
Thank you!
Incredible!
Efficiency is amazing with that auto glue thingy, and your super clamping system! This is the shop most of us just dream about; bandsaw that can re-saw near veneer thinness, and a planer that adjusts itself! 🤯
Thanks Andrew!
The first time I watched your video, you were operating out of your garage. Your operation certainly has grown over the years.......well done!!
I have to admit it, that thumb nail really sparks the interest! Those paturns and final boards are really gorgeous. Being able to spend so much time and just keep going at it until you've finished so much final product at such a high standard is amazing..... I have so much respect for your dedication 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Glen!
I'm so amazed at how a humble chopping board hobby has managed to get you to where you are. That is one seriously impressive work shop for making chopping boards. Your work is 👌
Thank you Mark!
Visited Alaska last fall, sept 2022 and fell in love with your state. If i was a younger man I'd move! Went from Fairbanks to Valdez,, back to Fairbanks and then over to Denali. Was there 10 days. What a wonderful vacation. Im also a wood worker, and do cutting boards. I build on or two at a time, and give them as gifts. I have sold a couple. You do really nice work. Keep living the dream and giving it all you have to offer. Your attention to detail and care for your customers is impressive. Quality and customer care is where it's at! Much love and mad respect...
Mark-
Newalla, OK.
This is jody's husband commenting . Absolute perfection!!! Keep those fingers connected. Beautiful work.
All that hard work will be worth it when that little one grows up. Great job Kris!
Thank you Jeff!
@@KrisDeVo you're welcome sir.
Wow! The attention to detail and time and care put into each product isn't something you see much anymore. Helluva job.
Thank you Jesse
Mr Small time big time. Amazing shop. Amazing processing. Amazing man.
This guy is the real deal. What a pleasure to watch.
Glad you liked the video Andrew
Whenever I feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I have ahead of me I just need to watch one of your videos to remind me that there are no shortcuts to being great at what you do. Its blood, sweat, fatigue, cramps, pain, bad luck, and you name it. All the forces that seem to want to prevent you from reaching your standards never fail to show up at work. Watching you work gives that extra shot to forge on and get it done. Thank you and please dont stop being creative, (It only gets better from here) . p.s. sorry about your truck, i know you and were close.
Appreciate that Michael, thank you!
Kris congratulations on your new shop! Good for you, you deserve it! You have inspired many and have taken the cutting board to the next level. You my friend are the modern day American dream, you want something bad enough go out and get it through hard work and struggles and you will prevail! You have a beautiful family and God Bless! Cheers!
Sorry for ur Lost of ur Ram Truck. Your pride in workman ship is outstanding. hard work pays-off.
Absolutely awesome. All the hard work and labor will pay off. The way you make your boards are an awesome way to do it. Trucks are replaceable you are not. Praying the other driver fully recover from the accident. Pesty little bear looked hungry. And a moose in your driveway, I would expect that in Alaska. Stay warm, safe and healthy. No more finger in the belt sander. Yes it could've been a lot worse than that.
Much appreciated Alan!
I am blown away by your progress. I started watching you in your small shop at your home. To see your shop now, and the standard of your products, absolutely amazes me. You should be so so so proud of what you have achieved. I will have to buy a board from you now and get it all the way to Ireland somehow. 😂
Everything came out so clean. I love all your color combinations and your process. Amazing to watch all the hard work you put into your products! Keep up the great work. Cheers!!
Just magnificent Kris... Couldn't stop watching, love it.
Fantastic work, in both wood working and video production quality!
First off, great video. For those who dont know Kris or havent seen his work, i dont know many people that express his level of detail and commitment. Kris, i cannot wait to continue the collab. Hats off to ya brother.
Thank you buddy, much appreciated. I am definitely looking forward to this collaboration with your amazing knives!
I can't thank Mr. DeVo enough for sharing his first video on how he started making cutting boards. He was my inspiration at 17 and now I am 18 and have a business doing the same thing and prospering from it. Thank you again for these videos! They are very inspiring!
You must have a good deal on the Festool sanding paper... 😉 You're making some very fine products and that great feel of accomplishment seing your finished products is what really makes all the hard labour worth it. Best of luck on your endeavours! 😊
Just came across your channel 2 days ago, and I am hooked on your artistry. Thank you for sharing it with us!
The amount of work that goes into your work is staggering. The final product looks absolutely stunning.
Such craftsmanship! We can see the love and care in each board. Sorry about your truck! I'm thankful that you didn't get hurt. Wish you could have got your moose! And most importantly your daughter is really cute, glad she was in the video. Thanks for a great video!
Much appreciated Steven!
We're can I get one of the cutting board
As always your products are beautiful! So sorry about your truck; anyone that has been following your channel any time at all knows how much you loved your truck!
I was mesmerised when I saw the northern lights for the first time. I spent ages just staring up at them in the cold. One of natures beauty’s 👍👍
Gets me every time!
Chris, this is the second time I've watched your video. My daughter's family used to live in Eagle River and we often stopped into Jitters for our mochas. i'm a retired citizen and make pens, pencils and some cutting boards. You have really done a great job putting in the time and effort into your many projects. Congrats on your success.
Thank you Phill!
Near misses like what you experienced can make anyone reflect on life and what's truly important. That said I'm a new viewer to your channel and never thought a cutting board would make me feel emotional, but that last bit of the video after the four dips... holy smokes. You're making works of art.
Thank you for the support Trevor
I would love to come work in your shop for a week just for the experience ,, but its a bit far from the UK :D .
Love your work and dedication to how you do everything.
Just amazing.
Watching you work is..... mesmerizing!!!!
I appreciate that!
I watch a good bit of woodworking videos and find yours just absolutely riveting. So much to see and absorb. Doing your WW job and putting out videos too must be one heck of a work load. Also lucky to have such a beautiful state to live in. Stay safe and enjoy.
I really appreciate that Andrew, thank you!
Love that tease at the end! 😲 You are incredibly talented, while being a great Dad and providing for your family. I'm sorry for your truck, and thankful that you are okay. I love, love, love to see how far you've come. Keep up the excellent work.
I really appreciate all the support! Thank you!
Darn I Remember When You Were in Your Little Shop, & Truly You Have So Much More Equipment & Order's
, you don't Really have that Much more Room to work & I'm still overwhelmed How BEAUTIFUL They Are & How Much Work You put into Each piece You Do,
& Now Knife Handles I Know They're going To Be AWESOME, 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated!
Very professional. You have gone a long way, look forward to your next projects.
Thank you
I loved watching this journey. This video just popped up on my recommendations and I had to click on it. The cutting boards are literally a work of art. I'm so sorry about your truck and I hope good things come quick to you and your family. I wish I saw this video earlier so I could get one of your cutting boards. Please keep doing them in the future. I honestly love how you make them and would enjoy supporting your business!
Thank you Tina!
Awesome video Kris! I had asked you last year about a moose hunting video and you said work was gonna take priority which I certainly understood. Very glad you are making some time to get some work/life balance. Love seeing your woodworking success!
Appreciate that!!
Love your cutting boards. All are amazing. I want one .
The last time I saw one of your videos you were talking about moving to a bigger building. It's amazing what you were able to do in your garage. Possibilities are endless now. Great job.
Chris, I’m so happy for you and your family that this has turned into a success for you.
Thank you Derek!
I have just started on my little wood working journey, so far I have put up shelves around the house, made a coffee table and 2 lounge end tables from reclaimed pallet wood and left over 1/2" CD ply which came from the workbench/jobsite saw out feed table I have made.
Really love seeing these beautiful cutting boards come together and is something I'd love to try soon. Keep up the great content creation and amazing work you put into your products.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you.
I am very impressed by your level of quality control, especially the long finishing process. A lot of guys I see focused on mass production are just worried about getting as many pieces as they can as fast as they can and usually skip at least a few of the steps you take.
Thank you Bryan, I've been told 90% of people wont know its 70% finished.... Thats just not me, as hard as it is. I think people know its something they haven't experienced before.
I do a lot of production woodworking too, man hats off to you for not compromising on the quality of your product. I have to think a Cnc could optimize your process for adding the juice groove to your boards. Plus you could do soooo much more, the machines are extremely versatile and it’s like having another employee. Anyways love your work, excited to see what you’re doing next.
Thank you Daniel. I do need to get a cnc sometime soon. Cheers
As someone who used to make cutting boards with my husband back in the 90s, we didn't have much of a way to sell them. Every time we gave as gifts, people loved them. The power of the internet plus talent is a beautiful thing.
Wish I could afford one.
We All are extremally Happy for you, Daughter wife & Business and 4 minutes away from disaster the Lord Is looking out for you & yours.
Finally, been waiting patiently for this one. Literally dropped everything and took a long break to watch. Thanks for sharing your experiences, o and I may have copied/taken inspiration from your designs :)
Appreciate the support!
That production setup is quite the piece of work!
Thanks!
These are gorgeous. Thank you for your time.
Love 💘 it.
I could see this as baseboards in s house. Over the top pop.
Or crown moldings. Million dollar room.
Absolutely impressive. Love all our products.
Thank you!
Really cool to see the continued growth. Nice job bro
Thanks Ricky!
I completely understand and appreciate your determination to produce high quality wood products. I do not question the amount of time or the number of steps you have developed to move these pieces forward. But as I watched you cut and then rout out the legs for the matching pattern stands for these cutting boards, my thought was to speed up the process and perhaps find a way to have them cut out by lasers, and/or simply make them of one color, or paint gloss black. A lesser complicated stand will not detract from the beauty of your finished cutting boards. Sometimes mass production has to be considered when the number of your orders goes through the roof. If nothing else, fewer steps in the stands' construction and finishing process will also keep your prices under control and buy you additional time to concentrate on the boards themselves and get more completed orders shipped out. My 5 cents (adjusted for inflation).
you don't get it
people ordering from him want the same thing as in the video / thumbnail
As in, alternating stripes of color. This is the whole point.
The only reason why it's popular in the first place is because it looks good in a thumbnail, and people clicked on it.
just amazing, the detail on all product not just one here or there but all from start to finish. just outstanding.
You made your cartoon with infinite taste and love. I enjoyed it a lot. I hope you will be successful. ❤️
Congratulations on your success! I first saw your videos when you were working solely out of your garage at your house. The new shop is fantastic
Thank you Chris!
My God Kris. It would be an honor to have one of your big boards to work in my kitchen. Amazing.
Wow! Glad to see that you weren’t injured, man! That was a scary accident and how crazy is it that you were standing there just minutes earlier!? 😮😳
Anyways, love the videos… great work. Keep ‘em comin!
A wicked amount of work! Huge investment in equipment! Unbelievable product results!! Awesome!!
Thank you thank you!!
Feel like you would really benefit from a Festool vacuum clamp for your juice groove sanding! Love your work Chris
I had one on order for 6 months right when they stopped making them a year ago. Bummed
Right, where do I start. WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, Then it was light at midnight, then a BEAR in the bin, then aurora borealis, then a giant cow in your drive and your truck, I nearly cried. Oh and don't get me started on the amazing clamping thing. OMG. I am completely blown away. I live in the Uk and spend most of my time in my little 3x5m shed, I make 2 sometimes 3 chopping boards at a time, which takes me 2-3 days.
I have total respect for you my freind. AMAZING. Take care. Ps your daughter is beautiful 😍.
Thank you Steve!
Holy Crap man!! Last I checked, you were still in your garage. That clamping rack knocks me out. You did it up good!
OMG - YOUR TRUCK! I feel your pain ...
on the flip side you get to start a new chapter after it's fixed ( assuming that it wasn't called a total .. )
Glad you were not out there at the time.....
That is an AMAZING video - you have accomplished a monumental thing with your business / shops Kudos!
WOW what a great video. You give hope to the lil guy! I have been working my but off trying to fill my shop with tools to start making outdoor teak furniture ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD AND HARD WORK!!!!!!
Kris great woodworking skills. have a great one. sorry about your truck hope everyone was ok. Blessing to you and the family!!
Thank you!
Alaska is great place. Was stationed there from 1984 - 1988 and we loved it. I know what me and the other vets would do with the scrap wood.
Been watching you from the very beginning in your little garage. I gotta say the way you have your production line setup is genius to say the least. Also there’s no one more deserving then you to have come this far with your business. Awesome.
Your efficiency in the shop is amazing
I am a weaver....and I absolutely love working with a striped warp. Watching you stack up all of those different woods was like a clarion call Back. To. The. Loom!!
I bought my first real woodworking tool last year…a Laguna table saw. This video made me so happy 😁
Could make some really funky headboards or even entire bed frames using your scraps! Beautiful! I congratulate you.
Kris you really have some beautiful boards there , I hope to be able to order one soon,,your daughter has turned into a cutie pie,,darling little girl,,,teach her all about camping and making wooden crafts,,glad you weren't around your truck when that happened,,without saying,,,,,,,,stay safe and God bless,,😇😍
Thank you Edward!
Sure is some nice looking cutting board. My butcher block burned in the house, now I use a plastic cutting board. Great job on on your products. God Bless you and family
Sorry to hear about your house.
That's one hell of a shop man! That's what heaven looks like to me !
EXTRAORDINARY ! just extraordinary. Thank you for sharing
I was worn out after watching your video. I can’t imagine how you felt. Wow! Great job.
It's great to see how well your business is doing. Maybe your little one will carry on the family legacy of fine woodworking. I know it's hard work but you know how much you love it. Trucks are replaceable. Keep up the great work and good luck in the future.👍👍👍
I am curious how much she will want to when she gets older. Cheers
Beautiful work as usual! Glad you weren’t out there when the truck got totaled bud.
Thank you! Me2
I have some serious shop envy going now.
The quality of your work is outstanding and the product is exceptional. Be very proud Sir. I am sorry about your truck, and all the inconvenience caused. Best wishes. Jack from Brisbane Queensland Australia.
I appreciate that Jack
Everything is ready to do it, but without perseverance, knowledge and dedication, nothing is possible. Thanks for sharing Kris!!!.
repeat the fraud
If I had one more life I’d do wood working too.
So good to see an efficient way of working. Compared to many one-off videos.
I’m a screen printer. I can get tired and the process is after all these years demanding on health.
Thanks for the inspiration. I have a project and some more ideas.
Good luck.
Great work man !! just love this video, was not expecting the truck crash....4 mins is everything ✌
Brilliant! Went back and watched a lot of your old videos again... inspiring! Looking forward to the new projects!
Awesome, thank you!
