A Juice Groove Cutting Board: Use this Woodworking Technique!

[@squarelevelplumb]

More great work Jon, Thank you

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi everyone, after using the round over bit in the router I used the orbital sander with 150 grit paper to sand the boards before finishing. Thanks for watching, Jon

[@LonghornWorkshop]

That’s a great tip on the juice groove, simple and easy.

[@markirish7599]

Thanks for taking the time to teach us new skills.

[@spiritwings4592]

Nothing better than a handmade gift. People have forgotten that.

[@EA-le7ty]

Wish I saw this last year when I was trying to figure out how to do the juice groove when I made a few cutting boards!

[@kevindavis1219]

Very nice boards. Great tip on using plywood for guide for juice groove. No need for fancy jigs or attachments on router. Thank you!

[@mainematt1234]

I’ve always wanted to make a cutting board and didn’t know I could do it without a planar! Thank you.

[@Wordsnwood]

No planing, straight to sanding! That's impressive. Love the colours in cutting boards, Jon!

[@nigelboucher2014]

I’m new to your channel and have to say this is probably the best video I’ve seen on making boards. Very well explained. 🇮🇪

[@vincecaggiano3297]

Thanks Jon. I love the simple jig for the juice groove. It worked great for me!

[@williamellis8993]

Great tip for cutting the juice groove, Jon. Take care. Bill

[@1959WoodWorkingHobby]

Congratulations on your work! Have a wonderful 2022 with great health and success!

[@dirtfloor_woodshop]

Nice tip on the cauls. Headed to shop to tape up a set.

[@ericsimpson4045]

You have a neat and simple way of doing and explaining thing love the content

[@donavanmcelroy6263]

The patterns looked SO GOOD! I’ve seen a lot of boards made from scraps that don’t seem to have much symmetry and not particularly easy on the eyes. Great builds, as always, Jon! I wish you were able to put out a new video every single day! They’re entertaining, informative, and downright fun to watch! 👍👍

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Donavan!

[@kenmurayama3613]

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea about the cauls. I’ve made a lot of cutting boards now, but never thought of that. Would not have to rely on the surface planer as much then. Always great coming to see your videos.

[@danyodice1048]

Great info Jon. Simple for beginners like me to follow.

[@ddutton0]

Another great one!

[@MikeKapotsy]

Love how these turned out Jon. Nice job.

[@sapelesteve]

Beautiful cutting boards Jon! There is nothing better than a handcrafted gift. Happy Holidays to you & your family! Be well & stay safe! 👍👍🎄🎄🎄👍👍

[@davecurda2350]

Great video Jon

[@uknowulikethat4042]

Nice work Jon, if I had one of those boards I'd be slicing limes for whiskey

[@dannydemarte6949]

This is like listening to Harvey Keitel make cutting boards and I am not upset about that…! 👌😂

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Ha ha ha Mr White if I remember correctly 👍😂

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Jon! Amazing how they look! 😃 And thanks for all the tips!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Very, very, cool Jon. I'm sure the boys will cherish those boards for a long time. The square jig for the router was pretty neat. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@ComgrowOfficial]

A pretty useful video!👍

[@patrickdunn8918]

I started thinking the other day, I’m going to build some cutting boards for a couple of people for Christmas. Great timing on this video, and happy holidays to you Jon. All the best !

[@Jeremy_810]

A second, light pass with the router would remove most of the burn marks. I dreaded sanding juice grooves until I found that those 3M finishing (black) scouring pads do a pretty good job of smoothing across the grain without leaving any scratch marks. A soft wire brush for the drill or Dremel works too.

[@kenleidolf9222]

Did you spray lightly with water to pop the grain before final sand?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I didn’t, but that’s a good idea… After using the round over bit in the router I sanded the boards with 150 grit paper

[@williamcapers6885]

Hello, sir. I love your videos. Could you tell me the dimensions of your cutting boards on this video please and thank you.

[@russman1958]

How far in from the edge of the cutting board do you do the juice groove and how wide & deep is the juice groove? Also curious as to what you could sell these for 🤔

[@AussieWoodshed]

Great video, that board looks awesome. Not sure why its called a juice groove, as the across the grain section would technically speaking be a dado. Semantics i know, i guess its just simplifying it.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks!

[@bitsurfer0101]

How far from the edge do you typically like to make your juice grooves?

[@kenc2257]

Very nice cutting boards--almost too nice to be used as regular kitchen cutting boards.

[@philipp594]

I really hoped you would show us a trick on how to deal with those burn marks ...

[@robertfrank3698]

How fine (grit) do you use for your final sanding?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

After using the round over bit in the router I used the orbital sander with 150 grit paper to sand the boards before finishing.

[@robertfrank3698]

@@JonPetersArtHome Thanks

[@robertspina4503]

👍

[@Charles-wh5tg]

👏👏👏👍👍👍😍😍

[@GearheadDaily]

A home made router jig would work a lot better in these cases, closer to the edge and wont' leave a weird gap in the corners.

[@spiritwings4592]

Personally I like how the groove goes. Less chance of spillage.

[@russman1958]

Cutting boards look great! If you are a beginning woodworker I would not recommend using the double-sided tape routing method and instead use exterior perimeter boards to route the juice groove out with.

[@macgraham100]

I bet your sons are very excited about getting the cutting boards for Christmas instead of a mini bike 😜🤪😛

[@gregj2647]

Very nice looking cutting boards. The only thing better would have been end-grain cutting boards.

[@skwintz14]

You only showed sanding with the 80 grit on the belt sander. Did you go to a finer grit with a different sander or was the 80 grit enough?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

yes I used the orbital sander with 150 grit paper to sand the boards before finishing.
