Dragon Scales End Grain Cutting Board Build

Watch me build an end grain cutting board in my shop! I'm calling this mosaic pattern "Dragon Scales". This was a very complicated build, but I'm happy with how it turned out.....

[@BeaulieuTodd]

I’ve made enough end grain boards to know how much work a “regular” design is. This was insanely well executed. So much time and patience. Scared the bejesus out of me with that first set of thin rips where your fingers were so close to the blade.

[@Kinnan011]

oh man my thoughts exactly with those first cuts lol

[@newklear2k]

Glad it wasn't just me!

I admire the clean, openness of your workshop.

[@millroyboy07]

I love that KZbin has become a haven for woodworkers worldwide. Every time a new one pops up, I’m filled with pride.

[@user-ku8xm6kc1e]

Wow! Thats pretty amazing how you can start with two pieces of dimensional lumber and after alot of precision cuts and glue ups you can end up with such intricate patterns. Thanks for that video.

[@newklear2k]

The reveal of those other boards at the end along with it, dude you have skills.

[@leisongivangomo4478]

Your work space/shop is almost as awesome as your woodworking!

[@byugrad1024]

Stunning work. But man, I shuddered a few times with how close your hands got to the table saw blade. Sawstop or not, I'd never get within a half or a quarter inch of the blade...

[@salomehart8833]

For the effort, skill and beauty, this board is priceless. Fantastic!

[@DINHVANTAM-QTRI]

SO BEAUTIFUL !

I've built a 3d cube cutting board and I know how much time that took. This is like 5 levels above that. Amazing work, beautiful execution, truly impressive.

[@bgpappy30]

This cutting board looks great! I love your shop, I can’t wait until my shop is finished.

[@deziomakes]

Beautiful work and lovely space! You tantalize us with those other cutting boards at the end. Can't wait for more!

[@amandajingleheimerschmidt3050]

That “houndstooth” pattern totally blew my mind 🤯😱

[@deanwilliams93]

Love the Shop, Great layout. That board it insane! The time and materials. Hope it goes for over $2,000+ USD

About 20 OSHA violations, but your work is spectacular. Glad your fingers are all intact...How's your hearing?

[@MJ-fh8fw]

I could never cut on those, they are a work of art.

[@robertsanderford2643]

Really like the designs that you’ve come up with,just wish there was videos on the entire builds.

[@karlsangree4679]

That definitely warrants a "Thumbs up". Wow... nice job. I mostly do end-grain inlay style boards, mainly because I just don't have the patience to do what you just did there. Kudos

[@beth3914]

That last glue up had to have felt so good! lol That was a ton of work, and the result was amazing!

[@tonibarber8119]

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

Really nice work it looks stunning and so does the view you have from your workshop it must look amazing through the seasons

[@leisongivangomo4478]

OMG! Love this woodwork! Artistry!

[@AndreaMerchak]

I admire your patience, but it worthy it, the result is outstanding.

[@robertwelch5584]

Can I just take a moment to say that I truly lust after that workshop. OMG. Oh and when my wife asks me why the heck I ordered 250 binder clips from Amazon I don't understand the look she gives me when I say its for a cutting board...

[@Lutzboater]

Great build with an amazing result. Enjoyed this

I'd love to see you build a set of double doors with intricate patterns. These are too beautiful to be stuck in a drawer. They need to be the statement piece of a fine home.

Love the Mirock Precision Triangle at 5min. Nice!

Wow. That is an insanely intricate pattern you have made and I admire your dedication attention to detail and precision. I know you call it a cutting board but I think I'd hang it as a piece of art.

incredible build..... After I watched this I went out into the shop, laid on the floor in fetal position and cried for 20 min. 😝😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 I love how you ran it through the planner. Its hilarious when people loose their shit about "...end grain can't go through the planner..." Nice to see we have sacrifice boards in common at least. Looking forward to more of your content.

[@KerzieWoodworks]

Absolutely stunning! I’m jealous of your patience and dedication. Fantastic work and I love your shop setup. Hopefully it isn’t forever stained with Padauk. It’s a gorgeous wood but damn can it messy. Keep up the great work!

[@mitchellmcclarnon1308]

It is beautiful but your safety on you using scares me to death. Seriously it is easy to get into bad habits and it only a second. If there is someone that hosts a class woodworking or maybe a friend that knows some safety issues. But tell them to be brutally honest you cannot afford the surgeries and loss of income, if this work contributes to your household income. A supervisor at a nice government job I had used to do woodworking after work and on weekends. He lost his first 2 fingers the tip of ring finger. It took four surgeries to quit having infection and what not. In fact as I am typing this it is at the minute mark you are using your t-square and your fence at the same time. But again you do incredible work. It's really next level!

[@davidwhite9906]

This is incredible!!! I don’t think I could sell it if I made one

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Excellent video. Very professional. Where did you learn how to make that pattern for a cutting board? What I do worry about is how close your fingers come to that saw blade and router. Outside of that, congratulations. Do you make how videos?

I have used enough cameras to know you were using a Nikon. Those click sounds when the auto-focus kicks in. 😅 Love the design and absolutely stunned by your effort. Awesome. 👏 Edit: Subscribed, and liked the video.

[@massoodn9410]

Magnificent

[@walter7372]

Fabulous woodworking skill but its the design process that has me flumuxed. How do you come up with this and the measurements and the shapes that will intersect with each other? Gorgeous shop as well. Nicest one I've seen. Very clean and lots of room for movement yet not an overly huge space. I'd say about 1000-1200 sq ft? Oh and I thought you couldn't put edge grain through a planer. Is it a helical blade?

[@cookiemonster9593]

Awesome, but remember to protect your hearing. I work in a big community workshop and a lot of the older people there have bad hearing and regret not taking better care.

[@Ashitaka1110]

Not to mention no lung protection, no riving knife and getting the left hand right next to that blade on the saw. Definitely not the video to watch to learn how to do the work safely.

[@sal35plus]

Utterly and absolutely amazing work making this beautiful cutting board. The sheer precision and calculation it took to make each cut is astounding. Instant sub to see what else you create. Where are you located btw?

[@steveh8724]

Really excellent example of precision woodworking to achieve a beautiful, functional (if one were willing to actually use this artwork) piece! Some of the cuts had me cringing based on safety concerns. And eye and ear protection were absent. Why take such significant risks? Love the shop and the layout and resulting work flow. Having multiple setup and transport tables all at matching height, nice. One thing I found weird was not protecting the glue-ups from the dark marks left by the pipe clamps. Why not use painter tape, plastic wrap, or any of a dozen other simple steps to prevent that problem from occurring. It won't allow you to skip steps, but it would make cleanup easier and faster.
