Making a Cutting Board in 20 Minutes

[@craftedworkshop]

Definitely have to account for the cost of glue and finishing materials.

[@davexb6595]

Yes plus a fraction of the investment in tools and workspace.

[@bearwoodcarpentry]

Cherry Mancuso post some projects you have made please.

[@iveco555]

If we are talking about EBIDA, than cost of materials + fix costs (utilities). For a project of this size they are to small.

[@bigpopasmurf]

i recommend lots of things to lots of people ;p not sure on the value of the info though. in my experience when your learning you spend a lot on consumables till you know what you actually need, not an ignorable expense.

[@hungryboy246]

Did you purposely leave out the T in EBITDA? Asking for a friend. Taxes suck though, to be sure.

[@soulphish48]

I absolutely love that you included a price tag, and cost price! This is so rare, and exactly the info I want! Great show!

[@dstarr3]

I feel like the title of this video should've been "Make a cutting board in 20 minutes, in 5 minutes."

[@CelticSaint]

I have watched a bunch of woodworking videos tonight, and they've all been impressive. One thing in common throughout them all however, is that all the carpenters appear to have tens of thousands of dollars worth of machinery. How anyone could emulate what they do, or hope to get the same results, with little or no expensive equipment is.... impossible.

[@MakeSomething]

+DEUS VULT woodworking is expensive!

[@IllegalTacos]

I just finished a cutting board today - im looking up methods of finishing the wood now. I have a crappy $100 table saw, $300 planer/thicknesser, $15 glue, a cheapo $20 set of clamps and a $50 random orbital sander. That is literally all I used. If you're precise enough with your cuts and glue-up, you may not even need the thicknesser, you could probably get away with a hand-plane! Not impossible at all!

[@seanloughran6714]

Check out Steve Ramsey, Wood Working for Mere Mortals. He does everything usually less expensive and even gives options for even cheaper options. That being said, all of this could be done with hand tools, but it'll take you a lot longer!

[@SonnyCider]

I know what you mean. The high-end tools do make it easier, I was just lamenting my Black and Decker jigsaw from 1980, means I cut it wide and sand allot more, if your willing to take the time, the same results are...possible

[@audiomonkey17]

OMG I was just laughing out loud and thinking the same thing! Cutting board in 20 minutes... if you have all the top-of-the-line equipment, include a planer that's basically as fast as a paper shredder. I mean, props to this guy, but I have a circular saw, a hand planer, and some clamps... so this was not remotely helpful.

[@renierbonthuyzen9703]

Just letting the glue dry takes more than 20 mins. Ha ha ha

[@mr.mickles]

"That is if you don't count the time it takes for glue and finish to dry." It's right there in the description.

[@IPOMonster]

And reading takes a lifetime for some to master...

[@winterattack8462]

[@DIYTyler]

Splendid! Was going to ask you where you got your hardwood since we are too far away from each other but you beat me to it!

[@brucewilson2763]

You’re right....once you take out all the parts that take a lot of time, it only takes “20 minutes” to make a cutting board.

[@ZacHiggins]

That cutting board is a tank! I love that design. You should add a vice to it, could find a great home in a niche market. I want to see you dovetail some vegetables together on it! Great job on the video & especially the music, you've inspired me to add some conga to my next video in your honor.

I really like this videos format of making a profit from your craft.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! I want to do more like this but many times I'm pulling lumber out of my scrap pile so I'm not always sure how much it's worth.

[@jaredschmidt441]

Drunken Woodworker I know that this is an old comment but one way to do it might be by the board foot total that you are using at the start for each type of wood. That way people can adjust the prices based on their local supply houses and their prices for different wood species! Great stuff as usual!

[@zethreal3219]

Jared Schmidt Since it's 2" thick, I'd guesstimate that he bought 2"x4"x3ft in Walnut ( he makes 2 1ft marks for his cuts ). The Maple looks to be about 1"x3". 2 feet needed. Using this rough "guesstimate" from the video, it comes to 2 board feet of Walnut and 0.5 board feet of Maple. Since this is all fuzzy math from estimates, it may be wildly off, but it's better than nothing, I guess.

[@nthngtoloseaudio8400]

Only 5 sec glue drying time? Where can I get that? 😂

[@B4Time]

Inspired me to "Make Something" namely these for Xmas presents. Thanks bro! Wife says the angled cut makes it easier to pickup instead of having board sit completely flat on the counter. Cheers!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks!!

[@jeffstanley4593]

Nice, but if you get to close to the edge that board is going to flip and you have a sharp knife in your hand. Potential problem. Plus, end grain is the way to go.

[@MakeSomething]

+Jeff Stanley We've been using the board for 1 year now and nobody has been hurt yet. Also endgrain traps bacteria. That's why endgrain cutting boards are illegal in commercial restaurants. :)

[@rabbit_holed]

I would kill to get that much walnut for that little $$.. As well as the maple! Closest store or place to be that has walnut, Home depot which sells it a 7.89/lf yeah.. no BF -- LF!

[@dewrus2153]

+MN_Shooter Me too! I actually bought some walnut just yesterday that looks about the same as in this video except mine was $17 bf (about $32 for that much walnut). I'm going to make this board (actually just very similar) for a Christmas present...hopefully turns out nice.

[@Geeksmithing]

I quite enjoyed the Dirty Money style cost recap at the end! The tapered underside is very stylish!;)

[@MakeSomething]

Geeksmithing Thanks!!

[@nicholash4587]

Hello, great end product as always. The oil you use for the finishing what is the name of it and do it have FDA requirements for food contact surfaces?

[@grantdavidson5069]

Great Board and Video. But get a ripping blade and make it an 18 minute build.

[@rosswells4090]

Where can you get that much walnut for $20

[@IamHueGraves]

did it actually sell for $70? ... I might get into woodworking more seriously then... :P

[@Oscar4u69]

@Pat Mahon It did

[@stefanstefanescu5723]

To the cost of materials you can also add: sand paper, mineral oil, electrical energy consumption etc. So the real profit isn't always so big! :)

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Great quick build David. The large beveled edge makes it stand out and should still be stable for chopping on because of the thickness. Looks sweet!

[@CameronsCandorOriginal]

Good video but I was expecting something a little more DIY... not everyone has those kind of awesome tools you got.

[@KennethHayes08XX]

Fallen Rock Specifically the planer. You can kind of wing the other stuff with more common tools, but i'm no good with a hand planer.

[@ikerclon]

+Fallen Rock You might want to look for community workshops in your area. Around Los Angeles there are some places where you can pay a monthly fee and use their machines to build your stuff.

[@zososldier]

you can make this with simple hand tools/power hand tools. the most you would really need is a hand saw/circular saw to cut everything, hand planner/belt sander/card scraper to level it, and sand paper to round corners and smooth it out. Has been done sense the beginning of wood working history.

[@BeaulieuTodd]

I doubt you'd watch a video on using a hand planer to flatten a board and go down that path.

[@xxthegamecollectorxx4673]

You can get a cheap 12 inch planer for about 250 dollars. Can't speak on quality though.

[@Justicejamesb]

It's a shame, but many woodworkers worry about which finish to use on objects that will come into contact with food of children's mouths. The reason for the worry is that woodworkers have been conditioned y several decades of articles in woodworking magazines to believe that ordinary finishes like Boiled Linseed oil, Alkyd Varnish and / or Polyurethane may leach poisonous ingredients like metallic driers. And other finishes like lacquer, Two-Part finishes, Shellac and water-based finishes may leach poisonous solvent. The idea that some finishes are harmful is reinforced by a few manufacturers who label their finishes "Food Safe" or "Salad-Bowl-Safe", which implies that other finishes are not safe. IT'S A NONISSUE The shame for woodworkers is that a lot of energy is spent on the issue of food safeness when none is warranted. Food safeness is a nonissue because there's no scientific evidence of any problems. So far, as we know, all finishes are safe to eat off of, and safe for children to chew on, once the finish has fully cured (the rule of thumb being 30-days). Flexner, B. (2004) Popular Woodworking complete book of tips, tricks & techniques. "the folly of food-safe finishes." PG. 211. Cincinnati, OH: F&W Publications, Inc.

[@briancnc]

Nice cutting board, black walnut and maple make a great contrast/combo. Try using a ripping blade in the future with around 24t count, you will cut thicker materials like butter with no struggle. It's amazing how a low tooth count sharp blade designed for ripping will get a higher output out of the same size table saw motor.

[@bluemoosewoodworking]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I've made cutting boards I sand the snot out of it and wipe it with a wet cloth, only to have the grain raise up. I've used up steel wool, 600 grit, 2500 grit but still the grain raises. What the heck?

[@CarlJacobson]

Very nice David, how did you like the finish?

[@MakeSomething]

Carl Jacobson Super easy to apply and dries fast. I'm curious to see how it holds up after a few washes.

[@JayReidy]

Once that stuff dries, add some wax and buff for a REALLY beautiful finish.

LET'S THINK JUST A MOMENT. Before we harnessed electricity all woodworking - including build homes and castles were done with hand tools. It's slower, but what's the rush? If one knows what they are doing, the quality will be superb, no matter if done with power tools or hand tools.BTW - Harbor Freight has some pretty good power tolls, and a reasonable price. I would think for a DIYer, HF power tools just might last for many years. I use their tools and make cutting boards, serving trays and handles, name plates, garden benches, coffee and end tables, hat and coat racks and candle holders and hinges all most exclusively with live edge lumber from the sawmills. Psst! Lowes and HD have a barrel at the back of the lumber section full of 36"x 2.5" x 2.5" pine for FREE. It is amazing all the things I do with that free stuff.Now, go make some sawdust!

[@brucewilson2763]

20 minutes. Well, that’s assuming your wood is already planed and jointed. Add a few hours of glue-drying time. The time spent after in trimming, mitering, routing, sanding (including hand-sanding the edges) and oiling alone is probably more than 20 minutes. The cost of the tools and equipment is a few thousand dollars. Profit = $47.50. Yeah, sort of.

[@aaron1540]

Very interesting take on a cutting board. I like your style. Simple and clean. I have to say you are my favorite wood worker on KZbin. Made me cringe a little when I saw you cutting on the table saw just because whenever I hear my saw bearing down like that it makes me nervous. I also loved your last video you posted. I have never laughed so hard . No talking with this one I see, just the bongo music like your promised, haha way to go. Keep up the good work.

Stupid question from the other side of the world... In that opening shot, was that whole board of soft maple really only 3 bucks? I don't think I've ever seen maple for sale here, but any local timber of similar quality would be 10x that cost

[@codyschmidt8189]

Only problem with this finish is its not recommended "for actively used butcher block counter tops that are used for chopping and cutting" That was right off of the description of amazon. But amazing work Sir!!

+Chris Stevens 20 minutes work time. When you cook you also have different times for how long you spend actually doing stuff and how long it takes to be completed. The 20 minutes means that you can bang out 5 boards in one hour of work time, and letting them dry while doing other things. Think of it as 20 minutes of work instead of 20 minutes to completion.

EVERYTHING you claimed to be a certain price could be had NEW for LESS and even cheaper if bought used. You could buy pre-dimensioned lumber, cut it with a hand saw, glued it together, and sanded the whole thing for very little money at all. At the end of the day, you've lodged just a complaint, not a real objection. You've glossed over the fact that you can make thousands of cutting boards from the same tools because they last a long time.

Maybe for less waste? I'm not sure though.

[@brandonshaw7785]

He used the band saw to speed up the process for a "rough cut". The cut didn't have to be perfect because he was going to make the final cut later on the table saw after the glue up and planing.

[@samsabastian169]

Couple of comments. Good idea but that board is not perfectly square. Note when cutting on the table saw the gap that appears against the fence. About 1mm each time. Also the cost is significantly more than quoted. Firstly glue is expensive and there is a fair bit of glue used in making the board, and secondly one has to take into account the capital expenditure of equipment used. But overall not a bad tutorial.

[@liythalhamzah8289]

You calculated the cost of materials, but did not calculate the cost of work hours.

[@justinh1601]

Any reason not to flip it and make it end-grain? More glue time, and finishing takes longer, but it would only add about 5 minutes to the assembly time and much better value for the customer. Just curious on your thoughts. I love the board btw, the beveled bottom is a nice touch!

[@MakeSomething]

End grain cutting boards take a lot more time. I wanted to show off a quick 20 minute project. Thanks!

[@alexwegner659]

Theres a guy called mtmwood or something like that and he makes really amazing cutting boards. One thing I've noticed in his builds is that he always adds grooves for your hands to pick it up. It would be a nice addition to add a dedo blade in there and cut a groove on two opposite sides for handles to pick it up easily. I think little details like that for the function of the actual build are really awesome.

[@isaeproductions5217]

Alex Wegner would use a dado for that, use a round over or cove bit

[@DustySplinters]

Dave, Great project! I am a bit concerned though that you might experience Kickback in the way you are using your rip fence on rectangular work cutting end grain. You can see the piece pulling away from the fence on the leading end. You do have a Sliding crosscut jig which would be much safer for trimming and even for the bevel cuts. The Bevel cuts could also be done safely on the bandsaw. Keep at it... Just want to see you stick around with us for a long time.

[@MakeSomething]

Walter Ambrosch I think it appears as though it's pulling away because I keep my rip fence at a slight angle to reduce pinching and kickback. Also I have downward pressure on it the full time. Thanks!

[@dpmakestuff]

I noticed the same thing but chalked it up to his fence not being square.

[@DustySplinters]

Drunken Woodworker Dave, I will not debate, you do what is best for you, but ... you might want to consider those less knowledgeable than some. Use the crosscut sled. I've experienced enough kickback in 44 years... don't want anyone to experience that same feeling. Know what I mean?

I am making an end grain cutting board for my brother for his wedding, and I am wondering how I can figure out if the wood I am using is food-safe. The woods I used are the woods that were available at my local lumber yard that looked good: maple and red balau ("mahogany" decking, similar to ipe, here: www.wood-database.com/balau/). Any thoughts on whether or not the resulting board will be able to be used? Or should I pick a different wood?
