What a wonderful board. I read all the comments and noted many folks, like me, do NOT have a drum sander, so I will be attempting this with my 13” Oliver helical cutter head planner. I experimented on some scrap wood and had to much tear out, so will likely add some sacrificial wood on the edges of the final glue up to prevent this, which I can cut off later. Any tips are appreciated. One other question I have, do you feel it makes a significant difference which color of wood goes in which location? For example I have limited black walnut but more cherry and maple. Do you feel if I use the black walnut for the 3/4x3/4 centers and reserve the cherry & maple for the other two larger pieces, it will give the same 3-D effect? Thanks again for sharing your insight and artistic abilities with us.

Thanks for watching the video and commenting. If you don't have a drum sander or if you feel like the planer is giving you too many problems, then you might try a handheld router with a sled. The sleds are pretty easy to construct and there are a lot of videos on KZbin on how to make one. If would give you, and others, a cheaper alternative for truing up surfaces. As for wood color, I'd only say to make sure that you have three different distinguishable wood types. The arrangement of those pieces could affect the effect because you have two pieces with 45 degree cuts and one that is basically square. I don't think you'd get as much of a 3D effect with the darkest wood being the square as its color is used as a shadow of sorts in the arrangement.

Did using a different grain for the border lead to any problems?
@DEJaegerWoodworking5 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. No problems so far, but I wouldn't likely do it again. Realistically, I think the border, or any border, really detracts for the pattern of the board. Not really sure why I put it on in the first place other than maybe it was turning out smaller in size than I had anticipated.

quick tip if you want symmetrical hexagons start off with 1 3/4” wide stock rather than the 2” wide he used in the video. This will work as long as your stock is 3/4” thick no more no less

As an old cabinetmaker,I am stuck by three things: 1- I did not understand your comment t the beginning as predicted, 2- You do everything with machines, some of which I never owned (drum sander), and 3- raising the grain with water does not apply to endgrain as there is nothing there to raise. (I have also done a lot of finishing). Keep-up the good work son. ♥️

@DEJaegerWoodworking17 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I guess there is the possibility of using the drum sander, but it would take the time of changing out papers to each progressive grit. At the time I only had 100 and 120 grit paper for the sander which wouldn't have achieved a finish sanding. As long as the drum sander can help true the surface and remove the bulk of scratches and imperfections created during the process, then using the orbital sander is sufficient in creating the smoother surface towards the end of the project.

Beautiful. About how many board feet does a board like this take?
@DEJaegerWoodworking17 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. The board in this video was fairly small, with a finish dimension of around 12" x 10" x 3/4". I'm not sure I could really give an actual board foot calculation since there were significant cutoffs that weren't used in the final product. I can say that I used 6 boards each of red oak, walnut and maple at lengths of 14" x 2" x 3/4". A couple of things I would change regarding this project... first, I would not include the border around the board unless it is endgrain oriented. There is a possibility of twisting due to the orientation in the video. Additionally, I would have substituted the red oak with cherry as it is less porous. I just didn't happen to have enough cherry in stock at the time.

You said if you were to do this again, you would make the board one and a half inches thick instead of the 1 inch thick. Do you think that would change the angles of the 30° that you have to something else? Something in the area of 15° to 18°? What are your thoughts about this because I am trying to make one that’s an inch and three-quarter inches thick.
@DEJaegerWoodworking29 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I have made this board many times after this videos and always used 1" thick stock for them. It give me more room for sanding out imperfections. I didn't adjust the angle for those follow up boards. The hexagons in this video are by no means equal on all sides but close enough that it doesn't detract from the design. The follow up board designs weren't affected drastically using 1" stock either. For a board 1 3/4" thick I definitely think you'd need to adjust the cutting angle of the bevels. I'd say build just a small individual glued up piece to the specifications you want and do a cut to see what that angle needs to be.

I purchased some plastic ones throug a local hardware store. Please a washer or two in the slots on your table saw to just slightly elevate the rails so that they aren't bottoming out in the channel. Glue them to your board, and also attache with screws if desired. The other features of the sled can be added to your liking (fences, dust collection, etc.).
