Love the mild shade thrown at J Katz Moses with the slow mo montage. Gave me a hearty chuckle.

[@pteddie6965]

"For no reason at all" is my favorite reason. Kudos to Dangerous Dan for coming to the rescue once again on the routing of the bottom. This is a terrific looking cutting board. It's going to look awesome on your counter. When you have a beautiful cutting board like that, the people who see it assume that you are a very talented cook.

[@t.j.postal8309]

I think I may need to go to counseling because I watched the slow motion glue-up.

[@jaymzx0]

That belt sander launch just took me back to junior high school and the belt sander races we would have on the floor when the teacher wasn't looking. Giant old school 10 pound shiny metal monsters. I wish I had one like that today. Hell, they're probably still working.

"Who have end grain cutting boards? woodworkers." that made me laugh out physically. thank you!

don't forget family members of woodworkers!

David is a vibe lol on the podcast he is so chill and laid back and on videos so energetic! About to buy that book! Love the cutting board, you made it look easy!

[@patriciarodriguez3863]

Wow very very beautiful I have ALWAYS wondered how they get the different colors of wood now I know and can try to make one with my brother and step dad !!

[@qtsohg]

I for one love your book on cutting boards! Just the ideas alone are awesome!!

Lol, circle drawer. Love it! Remembering the name doesn't change how it works.

[@woodworkingwolf2980]

Incredible and inspiring. No more excuses for not getting out and making something everyday.

Sorry wrong video. Meant this comment for the video of your grandfather.

[@sapelesteve]

Now that's what I call a real heavy duty cutting board! Nice work David! 👍👍😉😉

[@GeorgeMadeThis]

I'm not a fan of chunky furniture but I am am fan of chunky chopping boards. This looks wicked David!

Really love the pattern and shape of this one!!

[@sgsax]

As the kids (probably) say: that's a chonky boi! Nice project, and thanks for pointing out all the options for surfacing. Thanks for sharing!

[@kelsey_watson]

Cool to think about how many projects are represented by those scraps. Maybe even some cutting boards from the book!

[@MakeSomething]

Ah yes! You are probably right!

[@lutzproductions919]

hahahaha "you know who has end grain cutting boards? Woodworkers" really got me. Struggle of my life is trying to explain why my end grain boards are more expensive than edge grain boards and why people should care. Great video man, keep em coming.

[@SDMPoahway]

I love the way you made this cutting board.

[@gpaine]

[@shooterspodcast8667]

Love it! I had accumulated a lot of 1X6 oak and this is exactly the project I will use them for! Thank you!

[@thomashajicek2747]

Just a tip, I wouldn't use oak for a cutting board unless its a closed grain species.

[@shooterspodcast8667]

@@thomashajicek2747 Thank you. I will take a close look at it to make sure.

[@chrisweigand1817]

awesome board! I was told its dangerous to run end grain threw a planner. I am guessing by all the comments about rounding over the trailing edge fixes chip out while planning end grain means I was lied to?? I use one of those "ridiculous" router sleds with a flattening bit that also allows me to make board larger then my 13" planer can take. Messy but works great. Great video and I think I will check out you book

[@patrickschardt7724]

Thick with triple Cs. Haha. This looks beautiful. I like your use of CNCs. Each tool is useful in certain situations. As a mechanical engineer, I like to use CNCs, lathes, milling machines, 3D printers, wood working tools, metal working tools, and a lot more.

[@billdiehl156]

Don’t you just hate it when your belt sander takes off on you! As always, great project, David!!

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

Ha! I just looked up and you had beetlejuice on your tv! Love that flick. Great board too!

[@carlosmurcia6076]

Un gran trabajo. Felicitaciones, es una gran manera de inspirar mucho mi trabajo. Por favor sigue realizando trabajos de madera en eso eres realmente genial.

[@schmerer1]

Have made dozens of cutting boards, both edge grain end grain ones, but never thought of doing a round one like this. It is fantastic, can't wait to make one. Thanks for showing this and for your techniques. Like showing that we can use a planer if we are going to remove the tear out edge anyway, such a simple idea but have never seen it before. Question, what is the diameter of that board?

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

Just found your book on Amazon! Saw it was sold out on your site!

[@0CalAgricola]

Hmm, I might have to give this a try, looks really nice! I am a novice and only have a miter and table saw, no router table or band saw. I'm not sure I could do a round one with that nice lip to it, but maybe start with a rectangle one?

[@wildearpsadventures4991]

You can do round with your table saw BUT will require you to drill in to your saw. Basically drill a hole at the radius you want. Measuring to the edge of the blade nearest the hole. Put a dowel or bolt in that whole. Then drill a hole center of your board (not all the way through). Lower your blade completely then place the hole you drilled on the bolt. Turn on the saw and raise you blade just a little bit and spin your board towards the back of the saw. Once you've gone all the way around raise the blade a little bit more and spin again until your all the way through. I'd suggest using 1/4" bolt and hole so your can glue a dowel into the hole when your done. Even though it's the bottom its nice to have it filled. There is a lot of "waste" and takes a bit longer, but in the end it will look good. I used to do it this way before I had a router and circle jig. Still don't have a band saw. Hope this helps! Edit note: drill and tap the hole then either come from underneath or use a set screw type bolt and come from the top

[@Wordsnwood]

@4:35 ... who else here remembers the classic "The Love Glue".... by David. Long gone.

[@MakeSomething]

hahaha! You get bonus points today!

[@mandytrosky1888]

Haha-the belt sander flying off the table 😂😂😂

[@Just-Make]

Fantastic video, did you ever consider routing centered finger grips in the side? I’ve been wanting to but can’t figure out how to get the finger grip to follow the curve rather than a typical flat finger grip. Have you tried or know how?

[@blakedozier1131]

Beautiful cutting board. I have your book and have made good use of it. Thanks for the guidance. BTW - Linn at Darbin Orvar has a circle cutting jig for the bandsaw. I made one and it cuts great circles of virtually any size. You might want to give it a look.

[@slomo1562]

Design on the fly? Love it.

[@74beeper97]

I round over the trailing edge with my router before i run end grain through the planer. Quick, easy and never any tear out

[@deejaymobile]

Love your work and presentation style! Regular go over old videos just to get my Picciuto hit. :oD

[@washinthewind]

I always appreciate a fun cutting board video! Also, Beetlejuice?

[@kassiefairbanks7008]

That glue up slow mo. So good!

[@RonvanRutten]

Now THATS a proper cutting board!

[@SteveDrees]

A cutting board that thick should have a slot in it for your favorite knife. So it becomes a knife block/cutting board combo. Well done, as always.

[@grandolddrummer]

For planing end grain, I round over the back edge and take super-light passes. Works great.

[@rodvl6450]

Hey David, just purchased your three books. Looking forward to getting them :)). Another great video by the way. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

I own 2 out 3 of your books time to order the " make your own kitchen tools" great looking cutting board

[@brentfrench752]

Nice cutting board! I’m just a beginner but would love to try an end grain cutting board one day. It’s going to have to wait for wood to come down in price as I don’t have any hardwood scraps lying around. I have one large chunk of maple, but that wouldn’t make much of an end grain cutting board by itself.

[@ivanscountrymusicandcars2357]

I love your channel. Hell I have your autograph. I am not buying dried glue dulls planer. This comment was hard to write! Lmao. I just made the record holder x 2.

[@MrKevincryan]

Awesome video David👍 Instead of using the feet on the bottom, you could turn a concave recess on the bottom on the lathe, which would allow the board to always sit flat. (If you had a lathe which could fit the board) (which you probably do) (which I don't)

[@stanleylee1974]

You do a great job explaining and I have made a number of your boards from your book (which is fantastic). Do you know of a formula for determining how much wood is needed for a final board?

[@henridejong9433]

Can't help but wondering, how big a oversized butcherblock will be, when you are done... great vid as usual... ty

[@konikacariapa3289]

Beautiful work!

[@foos.998]

I love the round shape.

[@danboy6681]

Hey super job on this video... after making thousands of end grain cutting boards, I found a great solution for planning surfaces... First take your router with a round over bit and round over your corner edges. Second send your end grain cutting board through your planning...Taking micro amounts off !!!! That should do it ! Have fun From Atta Boy Woodworking you

[@stanleyshostak2737]

If you run a chamfer along the back edge before running it through the planner that would reduce your chip out too. Just a tip, not a critique.

[@Pelthail]

That was a cool outro spin.

Tell you please tell me more about your table saw? Brand etc

Is that a 9" bandsaw? And could you link that 4 tpi blade you used?

[@UriValdez]

This is bad ass, ive been wanting to make one of these

[@EricMeyerMaker]

A bevel up jack plane with a low angle blade is perfect for flattening endgrain cutting boards. They were originally made to flatten butcher blocks.

[@MakeSomething]

oh yeah! Excellent idea!

[@markbloomer9273]

I know you have maple and walnut in this board, but what are the other types of scrap wood you used?

[@garagemonkeysan]

[@ollipoytakangas]

[@newapologist]

David, I purchased your book “Make Your Own Cutting Boards”. Just curious, on the Sushi Board (which I really like) why do you use 3 separate pieces of maple in the center as opposed to one piece 2.25” wide. I assume it has something to do with grain pattern, but I may be wrong. Thanks for your videos and the book. Enjoy both very much.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! Purely for looks of the repeating lines.

[@TigerCarpenter]

every butcher block is end grain all knife throwing clubs use end grain targets naturally (please check out Olga Fedin, a daughter of the famous knife throwing Master Instructor Yuri Fedin, who named his system SKANF. now they alternatively call it NO SPIN) so I guess long grain cutting boards are for kids, to make crayon drawings on them what a gorgeous cutting board you made mate!

[@DanGamble]

Dude! I'd happily watch you get a couple of logs and mill them up and rip them down, glue them back together and shape it all into a freaking end grain log any day. Don't care. You're awesome!

[@Mike1962nz]

What glue are you using?

[@stavybananasify]

If I'm using an oil based finish, do I need to water the board to raise the grain? I did that with my end grain and it warped to all hell

Try walnut oil itll give it an amber color!

[@GeorgeCooper_LoneWolf]

Actually, the whole reason all professional chefs use end-grain boards is because edge grain stays open long after the knife cuts and bacteria can build up quickly, as bits of food can gets prest in the grain, unlike end grain which closes almost instantly after the cut. Also, a sharp knife runs better on end grain for faster cutting and has less chance of sticking.

[@ImGonnaMake]
