Beautiful piece. Well done! 👍

like the handholds. gonna steal that one from you. Good info in temperature and oils too. Thx

The boards look great. How do you like the match fit system?

Well done. Its nice to see a woodworker that uses what they have and doesn't complicate the task unnecessarily. Great job

1:18 "Never gonna use it." 😂 I feel that keenly.

One of the most useful woodworking videos I have seen this year! Thanks for sharing your technique and methods!!

Great video-plenty of useful tips! I like how you used dovetail clamps to attach the tall fence.

Very Nice, Thanks

Wonderful craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing.

Excellent process. Very good looking final results. Before I forget, I enjoyed the music too. How could anyone ask for more!

Those are beautiful and the dado groove is the perfect idea/solution. Thanks so much for sharing. Subscribed!

First car in hs, bahahahaha

Cold shop in the barn, walked to the house for glue and battery tools soooooo many times. Only time to work wood is winter

I'm making one for Xmas as a gift in my shed. The tip about the oil was really useful... thank you

What did you use for the oil? Was/is it food friendly?

Can I also "steal" your sawstop too? And by steal i mean have it delivered to my house... Also what squares are you using?

Still free. One less gift you had to spend money on for your sister-in-law.

Nice video, dado is the way to go, thank you.

Great vid Brother. Keep at it, keep them coming. New subscriber! Thanks

I like this idea. Thanks

That’s not a bad idea using the dado stack to cut the plate profile out. The only downside is not being able to flip the board and use the other side. I like doing this in my professional kitchen because I can use one side for meat and one side for veggies. Great video production and solid boards too

I love that plate groove idea, and the way you implemented it with the dado stack, excellent work!

That blade has some gullets!

Beautiful!

I really enjoyed the production, @Danmade. Thanks for sharing. I'm delighted that the algorithm put this in my feed. Merry Christmas!

That counts as free

Nice work man learned a few good tips for sure. Couple good one liners too "Leaking oil like your first car" 😂

Looks great, man. Good job.

Very nice, great craftmanship. I like the tip for the handles on the cutting boards. I have had the lumber for cutting boards beside my workbench for months, I will get started after Christmas. I enjoy your videos and keep making sawdust.

Nice one mate! I have been wanting to do an end grain cutting board for a long time, but I always feel that I lack the tools needed, because just as you mentioned, tight glue lines are super important when doing cutting boards.

Nice! Great step-by-step instructions. Thanks for putting this one together

9:01 - this is why you shouldn't listen to this guy 🤣 All jokes aside though, this is pretty good, but I completely disagree with you on points 1 and 2 and on dust collection. There are a lot of things that CAN'T go on casters like anything hanging on the wall. If you don't pay any attention to layout then you are ignoring things like doors and windows, where outlets are are where dust collection is installed. The small amount of time that it takes to be thoughtful about layout can have a HUGE payoff. And the folks arguing for a miter saw in a small workshop always get me. It's so easy to pull out a miter saw for the rare times you need it and set up a temporary station. How often are you cutting 50 cedar fence posts? It all depends on the type of work you do. For me, It would be a huge waste to have my miter saw sitting out all the time. I also wouldn't waste space on a drum sander, but again, that's my preference. Everyone should consider their own needs and plan their shop around that. Running dust collection is not that hard. If it's too much work to mount some wires or tubes, then I don't understand why you would get into the hobby in the first place. Unless you have an air conditioned shop, wearing a respirator all the time isn't feasible and not having good dust collection will destroy your health. You are willing to waste all that money on a domino but then cut corners on your health? It doesn't really make sense to me.

Thank you! Your style of production is great, and your explanations are very clear. I can't thank you enough for the handhold cutting technique you show. Now I just need to make me a tall board and cut some dovetail grooves for the clamps, then I can cut these "plate relief" handholds. I think that is a stand-out feature for your boards. I will remember to mention you (and this video) when I gift the boards. Have a great Christmas/Chanukah/holiday season.

Fantastic video and process. Thank you!

Really enjoy your style of presentations. Very well thought out with tips and tricks sprinkled throughout. Great video. Thanks.

"Everybody loves parfaits." Great looking boards, Dan. I'm sure they were greatly appreciated by your family. Interesting comment about routing dust. I'm building a craft storage "cabinet" for my wife and was routing some rabbets last night. Cloud of dust in a snowstorm...I need to figure out dust collection for my router. Btw...didn't Maple, Walnut, and Cherry open for Peter, Paul, and Mary back in the 60s? 😂

You need to stop wearing gloves around your saws. It is extremely dangerous. You catch any part of a glove in a blade and it will pull you entire hand into the blade.

Nice looking boards! Merry Christmas!

I enjoy the content you create. Looking forward to your future stuff. Thank you for doing what you do.

Great video! Do you typically run an end grain board through your planer? I heard that can have a lot of tear out. Is that not true?

Great video, and what I would call a facepalm idea. First timeI have seen that done, and well, it just makes so much sense.

Excellent video. Hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas!

You look pretty scary in that protective gear... Nice build

Nice results. Straight forward process. Thanks for skipping the endless sanding I'm sure you did! Adding the oil, seeing the grain pop is the best!

Great video and awesome work! Thanks for posting.

Nice work that looks great . Thanks for the video

thanks for the opinions, but they are not ideal for everyone, some great tips but also some poor ones, planning is always a good idea whether be a large or small shop. planning helps for you to be able to be flexible. all the best.

How about a little hardwood veneer to hide those pocket holes?

Thanks for the ideas.

I spent a lot of WOT hours designing my small shop and every bit of it changed when the actual shop came together, lol. I did both the computer generated layout and the tiny cardboard cutouts. WOT is right. Great video
