Four Corners Cutting Board | How It's Made

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

This was a fun build and it's actually going to stay in my kitchen and get put to good use. So what do you think? Does my cutting board match my carpet?

[@Witty..UserName]

i really liked the "how it's made" part - good job norm.

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

I guess you know what I watched on Sundays in the 80's and 90's. And don't forget to wear these, safety glasses. (and remove all guards for photographic clarity) LOL.

It must be nice to have a workshop full of equipment like yours with lots of room and dust extraction.

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

It is definitely nice to have. It took me 25 years to get here though. I built a lot of cabinets in one half of an unconditioned two car garage with no dust collection. Before that in a shed with almost now tools. We all make due with what we have. Keep working at it.

[@stenmin1234]

The best part is very few of the tools he has would be considered expensive in relative terms which is pretty awesome. And the ones that are more expensive are nice to have not really needed.

this turned out awesome! i love finding inspiration in every day stuff like a rug.

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

@@chrisgenovese8188 It's been right under my nose for years!

What a great design and looks fantastic in the end. Thanks for sharing!

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

@@gdelohi1 Thank you!

[@4legdfishman]

Looks great! I know I keep telling myself that I have to make one. Who knows? Maybe someday I will. Thanks for sharing your talents!

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

@@4legdfishman No time like the present!

Well done sir

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

Thanks!

[@edblanchard8450]

Love the pattern. Have made some like this in the past. If you look at videos from people like Robert White “ 10 years ago “ you’ll see a completely different way to build a board like this without all of the alignment issues. Still. Nice pattern

[@mdproductions3387]

The pattern looks more complicated than how you demonstrate it. Great job on simplifying the concept on how to do a great board.

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

@@mdproductions3387 Thank you!

Where did you get the drying board? Just what I need!

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

Here's a link to the one I have. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018BRMV0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

[@mattfox9212]

well done!...you are not concerned about not planing a flat board (you sent the board in rough)

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

Not sure I follow you on that. Are you talking about the cutting board or the rough lumber? I never send a cutting board through the planer. Especially end grain.

[@jeffjames1567]

I believe he is talking about the rough lumber. Typically one would flatten one face at the jointer before planing the other side to thickness.

[@EvolutionWoodworks]

@jeffjames1567 If the board is relatively flat to start with, I don't do that. Generally, I would only hit the jointer with small pieces that have to be perfectly flat, but even then, I'd rough plane it first and cut it down closer to final size to fit the 6" jointer.
