Subscribed. I appreciate you being real with viewers and not making your channel seem like a reality TV saga.

[@jakestinson7043]

I've been watching woodworking videos for a few weeks now as I start getting into it. Your humble approach is such a breath of fresh air from the cookie cutter "influencer style" channels. Keep doing you and don't conform! Also, this might be my first comment on youtube.. ever..

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Thank you so much for those kind words brother 🙏 One of my goals when starting this channel was to do exactly that. Nearly every channel I see is exactly the same, and it's unfortunate because there are a lot of people who want to get into woodworking but might be turned away by the superficial mindset in a lot of videos.

Best tips for cleaning up an oil spill? Haha. This is all so fascinating. I'm hooked! Really amazing!!

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Whenever I spill oil in my shop, I immediately throw sawdust on top of it. The sawdust will soak it all up. It helps that there's always a layer of sawdust on my floor too haha

[@andrewj7281]

AhMayzin! Thank you for showing how it's all done 💪

[@elmaestro35]

Damn… is that a dust bag on a planer. I have never seen that done, but that is a great idea. Great video btw. That board looks great, and glad you figured out the orange light jajajaja that pro tip was awesome, small shop problems i know the feeling.

[@johnrundell233]

[@GETTR2024]

Love the board! Most of all the shop reality!!

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Great video, enjoyed watching

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Very nice. I don't know how you keep all that flat. Impressive.

[@righthook27]

Personally, I am more interested in how you craft than I am in the size of your shop or how pretty it looks. Beautiful board. Well done, friend 👍 Subscribed.

[@WILLY4961]

Beautiful cutting board and like your shop it's just like mine crowded.

[@jasonclift7253]

One of the prettiest boards - well done and sorry that I am going to copy it :)

[@molicda69]

[@bobjons7]

Your tutorial was excellent. Beautiful cutting board...awesome job! Sub added.

[@cjmiller1871]

Nice video

[@jlb194]

If you get an induction metal heater they are pretty cheap and would heater the branding tool up in about 15 seconds

[@jacoblittle3209]

Man, finally a channel that i can relate to. I see no Festool in your shop, i see a jobsite tablesaw, i even see a Wen bandsaw. Shoutout to Wen! No Bessey parallel clamps. I absolutely love it. You also go about your approach to making the cutting board the way i do too. Do you have an Instagram i can check out? I am @b.n.c.designs

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Haha! Absolutely man. I've got 2 babies under 2. No way I'm spending money on Festool or a Sawstop right now. Yeah social media links should be in the description, but we're @littlebearwoodshop on IG 🤙🏻

[@justineisenhart1981]

I have got to give it to you man. Keep up the incredible work! You're explanation of each step was awesome, specially for beginners. You didn't just blow through the steps. Many people will appreciate this video and you for that! Keep it up and best of luck!

[@tweddelltrumpet]

great video!

[@juniperlarryful]

Love your disclaimers at the beginning. "My face is orange and I don't know why, and I don't really care". I'm all in!

[@OurFrenchHouseRenovation]

Just found your channel, great to see how you make these boards, I work in an 8x6 foot shed so know the problems with space...lol Subscribed cheers

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Thank you! Yeah the small shop struggle is real haha. Makes us stronger though 💪🏻🐻

[@Frenchfastandeasy]

Wow the board is Amazing! Such talent it’s incredible. Cheers mate. Do you have a link to the ratio of coat 2 and coat 3 please? Thanks

[@larryschmitt2513]

Very nice board 👍🏻

[@scootermcgooginhime2464]

You got a like from the intro speech but you earned a sub and some respect with the shop tip 😂

[@stevenmcgavin4376]

I like your video.

[@jimcampisi4473]

Great looking board , do you have a suggestion on how to make the board 18” wide ? Thanks

[@alanross9073]

Thanks for the humble approach to woodworking; it’s definitely a breathe of fresh air! I do have a question about clamping.... no matter what i do, my cutting board always comes out of the clamps with a cup in it. I’ve tried reverse clamping, I’ve tried cauls but nothings seems to help. Any a suggestions?

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Without being there to see it, that sounds like it could possibly be an issue with your table saw blade being ever so slightly off (if you're doing rip and glue boards). Even if you're off by a tiny degree, over the course of X amount of strips it'll add up and could create a cup. I'd make sure your saw is properly tuned first (or jointer, if you're using one), and from there the best thing is to clamp both top and bottom. I start my end clamps with hardly any pressure. Just enough to keep the boards from moving. Then add your top clamps in the center and tighten those first. That'll push any cupping downwards, and then you can lock it all in with the power clamps.

[@alanross9073]

@@LittleBearWoodshop thanks for the response and I’ll give it a try!

[@wendyblanco2887]

Absoluty amazing, how did you make the branding tool? I would like to make one for my starting small business

[@namocrafts1101]

Hey buddy I enjoyed watching ur video . I see u haven’t post any video in a year . Are u willing to post more videos . Thanks

[@joelpierce3060]

Thanks for a great video . I really like your cutting board. I have been out of work since March 2020. I am 62 and can't find meaning full work because my age. I am going to try to make boards and a few other things to make a living. Thanks for or help it gives me hope. Joel Pierce

[@shawnmiller4572]

where can i get those exact rubber cushings?

[@frankfaherty2065]

Nice video! Where did you get your branding iron and how thick are your boards?

[@friotexas]

Thanks for the video. Will you tell me where you got the branding iron and rubber feet ? Again, thanks for your time and effort.

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Hey there! We got our iron from Gearhart Industry (they're great). The cutting board feet can be found on Amazon (just search cutting board feet with washer) and there are lots to choose from in different sizes.

[@friotexas]

Thanks for the speedy response.

[@Bigone718]

How thick was that board?

[@chrisdaniels9718]

love your board, is there a reason why you hide your logo underneath

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

What do you have for sale?

[@jon31621]

at the 17:50 mark on the miter saw you cut down about an 1/8th of the thickness of the board and then go full. Is that to avoid chip out?

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

It is, yeah. Makes for a smoother cut through the rest of the board as well

[@jon31621]

@@LittleBearWoodshop thanks so much. New to all this. My first build was just my work bench out of pine. Mainly used a 10" miter saw. Had a lot of chip out. Now looking to get real projects done

[@LittleBearWoodshop]

Yeah chip out is an unfortunate thing for sure. Can be mitigated pretty well though. If you don't already, get yourself a decent 60-80 tooth blade for your miter saw. That'll help a lot. And a zero clearance insert (easy to make if you can't find one for your model saw). That helps tremendously with bottom side tear out.

[@michaelbeasley9457]

What is the thickness of the finished board

[@gouriprasaddash3087]

Pl mention size ( length, breadth and thickness) of the board and approximate price.

[@wildturkey9275]

Although not toxic CA glues are not considered food safe by FDA. Beautiful board however!

[@steveraymond7277]

Thank god I will not have to keep my small shop super clean.

[@MrHighflyingclive]

I'm sorry. I had to switch off after three minutes. I could not concentrate on what your were saying because of the intrusive and distracting music.

[@stevefowler3398]

I switched off as soon as that irritating music started.
