If I had a beautiful bike, "I would not park it behind the table saw where a kickback could possibly damage MY bike.

[@kevocos]

Overcoming the glue stain made the finished article even more impressive!

[@timbertannin9884]

Beautiful work, mate .. and great save! Have been missing your woodworking videos of late and this one surely didn't disappoint 👌

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks much appreciated

[@alans1816]

It’s a nice board. Those diagonal cuts make it look interesting, but waste more wood than the square ones. Have you tried fitting the uneven piece cut from one edge onto the opposite edge? It might work, particularly if you used a void-filling glue like epoxy, and it appeals to my frugality.

[@TheGardenerNorth]

A craftsman that can turn a mistake into something that's better than it was supposed to be. That's a cool cutting board. Cheers!

[@Jimbobuster1986]

Brilliant work mate just please never cross your arms over the saw push stick to the right

[@ninomaiorano6697]

You keep calling the jointer and planer..

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Its called a Jointer/planer in the US its called a Planer/thicknesser over here

[@dhoyt1967]

Great video, the chopping block turned out fantastic. You really got me at the cut you got. I can't complete a project with out cutting myself.

[@budlloyd3127]

Another great video!! and beautiful work as always!

[@stephb8178]

Love it. Look fantastic thanks for showing us how to.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

You are welcome!

[@josephseewald4687]

Thank You, John, that was an interesting way to make a cutting board. The tips were very useful. The one thing I would inquire about when I started working with wood, one of the rules of making cutting board I was told was never to use an open grain wood, it was said that germs and bacteria would be able to hide in the pores and that the tannins in oak would also have some sort of issue. I assume for incidental dry usage you could probably get away with almost anything, I know that you used some sort of food-safe finish which would include commonly include oil or shellac so I assume it was incidental exposure decorative board. As such I have never used oak or ash and mostly finished my boards in oil and then wax. I figured it was fine for the butcher's shop it was ok for my kitchen. You did not mention it and it is certainly a great-looking display piece. What are your thoughts ? Do you know of any additional guidelines? Thanks again

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

This will mostly be for dry usage bread and the like, so not really an issue and I will keep it treated with a natural bees wax. I do see a lot of people using purple heart in cutting boards but that contain toxins so best to avoid.

[@mikecasebolt978]

Hey John, do you happen to have any kind of plans I could buy for this cutting board, thx ?

[@ngoti8tor]

At 11:18 nothing like using human push blocks when using the jointer. Hope one of those boards never flies out and your hand goes down into the blades!

[@robholland290]

Difference between an amateur and a pro is how well they hide their mistakes. Great work

[@alistairbiggar6830]

Beautiful work John as always. Good to see you back at it too👍

[@WoodworkJourney]

Great video and ace problem solving - I’m confident there was plenty of swearing off camera though 😂

[@TREBORANDERSON]

Good save!

[@roydaley3413]

👍

[@bknzikali3626]

beautiful job. Lovely board

[@brucenorton7553]

Nice work..... but you talk too much!

[@mantobrew]

Very nice. Gonna try one of these this weekend

[@markstuart4052]

Really nice! I’m in Waterford too, I glued some timber down in my freezing shed recently and the glue dried chalky and failed. The bottle said below 10 degrees isn’t recommended. Until it gets a bit warmer I’m bringing my glue-ups up to the house. I wonder if that’s how your glued piece came apart. Great video as usual!

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Nice board, a man shows his mistakes! Very easy to do that on end grain. I'd suggest masking taping around the epoxy infills???

[@mikebolger223]

Hi John. Love the content. Is it ebay you get those hard wood bundles

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

It got this bundle from Strahan Timbers

[@williambuckley1185]

Well done John. I am presently doing end grain cutting boards great fun. Picked up a few pointers from your video here so thanks for this one.

[@allanmorgan8056]

Nice 1 John, very impressive mate 👍 oh if ever u do sell ur thickness planer ide like 1st chance 😁 Keep up the great videos 😁

[@danieldurkton2942]

Beautiful, nice technique going to give it a try!!! 🍻😎

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Go for it!

[@rorycubaking9572]

Fantastic mate, I'm gonna give this a go as soon as I've built my new workshop.😊

[@billofalltrades2633]

Well done! Always a plus to see the mistakes made and how you fix them! Very educational! Thank you for your time.

[@projectrebuild908]

I loved this one. Great looking chopping board. Fantastic job

[@Diggar72]

Oh man that turned out amazing. I love it. Sure have missed your videos I was super happy to see ya had put one out. Hope you're staying warm and safe.

[@paulbramhall9157]

John beautiful looking chopping block👍

[@johnkirwan762]

Nice, poplar ages lovely too, turns a nice honey color as opposed to that green hue.

[@Steve_Wojo]

Very very nice work John. The resin repair looks seamless.

[@seanbiddiss7581]

Amazing work, very inspiring

[@Wendolynn_Jane]

Thank you! Best! 😎

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Welcome!

[@johngibson540]

John great board. The guys on KZbin charge over $300 for these and given the amount of work that has gone into this I can see why. How much do you worry about the hardwood species you include in your boards. I notice that the offcut parcel and oak and mahogany neither of which are recommended for cutting boards (at least that’s what I have been told). Keep them coming. John G

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

This will mostly be for dry use with bread and the like so a long as I keep it oiled and treated with natural bees wax it will be fine.

[@grovesy333]

Can’t go wrong with a nice cutting board

Have been worried about you, you haven’t posted in a while 😂 glad you’re back

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

I'm just so busy, it took 2 weeks to make this video 😂

[@newfielad1967]

John, well done on the correction. Wouldn't have seen it if you didn't point it out. Nice looking board.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks 👍

[@denisoriordan6739]

Good to see you back John. Beautiful board.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks Denis

[@kevinmccarthy8670]

welcome back great fix on a very nice looking board!

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks!

[@lynjermey6423]

Gorgeous serving board.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@craoutdoors6827]

Hi John great channel. Do you have any videos for starter woodworkers for hand tool projects only. I have the basics. Thanks

[@JNDCreations]

Looks great mate. Be careful cutting on it though. Resin is never a good idea in cutting boards as it can flake off under the knife blade and you’ll get tiny shards of plastic in your food. Also will show scratches a lot more than wood will. Just keep it in mind when using it!

[@jonh142881]

Is there a better way to repair voids than epoxy resin? I've always used that, but if there is a safer way, I'm all ears.

[@JNDCreations]

@@jonh142881 not that I’ve come across. I’ll sell boards with resin in them as serving boards for that reason.

[@philipquinlan1045]

Super finish. Really looks good. Resin fix turned out great. Impressive skills.

[@EverydayCommentary]

John your videos are so clear and so instructive. I am also impressed with your creative approach both to design and materials. Nothing precious, everything functional. Great cutting board and great fix. Also, my Dad (who is also a woodwork) and I love the accent.

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Thanks very much, I'm glad you guys are enjoying the content.
