The basics of making end grain cutting boards. Part 2.

Plans - boosty.to/mtmw... Free tutorial "The Basics of making end grain cutting boards" - eepurl.com/brMc_5
I got a lot of questions in recent years. And I realized that many people are interested in the basics of making end grain cutting boards, rather than the intricacies of the making complex (3D or chaotic pattern) end grain cutting boards. So I made a video and wrote a tutorial to help people to learn the basics of making end grain cutting boards. The second part is devoted to covering issues such as assembling a board, sanding and finishing.

It takes a lot of courage to share your hard learned secrets in details in KZbin video! But exactly that is the true sign of greatness in a craft! That means you are fully confident in your reputation and skill superiority (as an artist). Because you are aware that knowing generally how to do something, is not the same as being able to do it (in practice), especially in a flawless manner as does the master that explained you. I really admire this great and positive guy for sharing his experience and also finding an honest way to earn his living in such a great way. Respect from Bulgaria!

[@garthn2561]

What secrets? I didn't see one - in 40 minutes....

[@davetyler8214]

@@garthn2561 You don't have to be that way. It seems to me to be more of a translation issue. Try replacing the word "secrets" with "knowledge". Being nice doesn't hurt at all.

[@BlackForestDesigns]

Unbelieveably kind of you to share your tips! Whole family loves your videos - Thanks for posting!

Андрей, знания знаниями, способность иметь свою мысль, это редкость, как в народе говорят "Знание это мысли других людей , а вот свои мысли это мудрость"., а то что тебе приходиться отвечать на одни и те же вопрос вытекает из выше написанного мною. Разве мудрых людей много . С уважением Саша

[@musamor75]

What a pleasure when things are explained clearly and intelligently. The gentleman here is a real craftsman ; notice how organized he is, and he never rushes or goes back on his work. These are the true signs of a skilled and experienced worker. The final stage of mastery comes when one understands that in order to dialogue with Nature, Man has to listen to her. This firm makes the finest and most creative cutting boards on the planet! I have just one comment: after fine orbital sanding @15:57" I think the dust should be removed by either blowing or by suction, because mixed with oil and wax it can make slurry deposits. Maybe a little more careful lining up of the cubes. Bravo!

[@mtmwood]

Thanks!

[@NYWoodworker]

What I really appreciate is that you respond to everyone who makes a comment on your videos. For that Bolshoi Spasiba (left over from growing up in Poland during the "occupation" hahahahaha, the 60's) All the best!

[@giantstickerman]

I finished my first end grain board today and it came out perfect thanks to your video's. I kept it simple, just solid purple heart but since it was from different trees and some pieces are darker than others it still has a pattern that looks cool. I couldn't have done it without watching your instructional video's, thanks very much. I'm giving it to my wife for valentines day. You are a true craftsman and an inspiration to me. All the best.

As a Fine Wood Worker myself, Thank U for sharing your techniques on a video! Your work speaks for it self, Creative and Talented!

[@georgeboyle3967]

Absolutely a beautiful cutting board. Your narrative explanations and design instructions couldn't have been better. I learned about wood shrinkage and how to glue up focusing on grain direction. You are an artisan with wood. And I want to thank you for sharing.

[@bilimwoodworks]

Thank you very much! You are a great teacher! from Korea.

[@pmelchman]

Andrei, well done Sir. After reading the comments, it seems the cutting board tutorial was a hit. You have answered many questions for many woodworkers.... Great job!

[@mtmwood]

Thank you!

[@TheJimsock]

The process is very thorough and scientific. I enjoy seeing pride in workmanship. Thank you for the video.

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@NYWoodworker]

I enjoy your videos all the time but this particular board showed far more to me than all the others. Simply, you can make boards with tools that most of us have and how to use them. Thank you.

[@mtmwood]

I made end grain cutting boards with the help of 12" planer during 3 years. Not for sale, of course. Thanks for watching!

[@woodlandmanufaktur6333]

As a german carpenter, I aprove this tutorial. There may be some differences in what we learned in school and topic specific books but it alls explained pretty good ;) And Im making endgrain boards myself as kind of a sidework. As someone already wrote before, you know your job well, everything well organized, each step planned, thats important for a good result. Best wishes from germany!

Extraordinary series of videos, Thanks

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Thank you very much for posting this series. You've answered so many questions for me. While I'll most likely never make any cutting boards to sell, I'll probably make a few this year to give as gifts at Christmas. Father Frost has to start making gifts early in order to have something for everyone, so there's no time like the present to get started...

[@mtmwood]

I sure that you will make great boards. Thanks for watching!:)

[@TheWeekendWoodworker]

Both of these basics videos are excellent! You've been my instructor on making cutting boards from the beginning, and I've gotten progressively better each time. These videos answered a lot of my questions that simply watching the others couldn't answer. Thanks for putting them out!

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@cliftonwithrow6756]

[@dewrus2153]

Outstanding tutorial. This answered several questions I had. There are a lot of steps but it makes sense to follow your recommendations as it is safe to say you've made enough boards to know what works best for a durable and high-quality product. Your videos are easy to watch with each clip visually showing valuable information. I did notice your "shop helpers" did not make an appearance in this video, though. Thanks again for efforts...I've learned a lot.

I found this tutorial very informative, thank you for sharing, I don't do cutting boards for money, but it is really nice how to do them correctly. thank you

[@mtmwood]

Your friend or wife will not be glad if their boards will crack in a while.:) Thanks!

[@UNKPCRIDE]

The method of alternating the grain is also referred to as "stave core" which is used in door making. A stave core door prevents warping and bending. When the wood expands and contracts it will actually "push" up against the grains making the door even stronger. The board warping one way is offset by the next pieces warping the other direction making the panel remain flat.

Dear Master Woodworker, What you are doing is amazing. Truly. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. What you know has taken you several years to master and you generously give the information away. You made it possible for me to make something that I would have screwed up several times and you taught everything that I needed to know. I can not express how much this means to me. I was able to make six very nice end grain cutting boards that I will donate to a fund raiser to help my father-in-law who is sick. I am so proud of these boards and I know that they will raise a lot of money for the cause. I could not have done this with out proper training. I wish there was some way I could re-pay you. I plan on buying one of your boards in the future when I save some money because I want to own something made by you. Thank you Thank you thank you!!!!!!! by the way, you have a beautiful family. With love Ryan K. from Louisville, Kentucky

[@mtmwood]

Merry Christmas!

[@georgepeaches1405]

thank you for sharing your techniques with us. I've been an avid viewer for some time now, and although I don't have the level of sophisticated equipment you use, I still manage to learn something with each video. Just for your information, I use a combination mineral oil and beeswax product that seems to work well. Thanks again

[@kendoerksen3280]

Thank-you Awesome lesson

[@sapelesteve]

As usual, great videos! Having made a few cutting boards myself, I actually learned something from watching this series, so thanks for that my friend from Russia! :)

[@mtmwood]

Thanks a lot!

[@zetorman7639]

Thank you for letting us see how you make these beautiful cutting boards! I see you normally use foreign hard woods that are best known to be good for the purpose. It makes sense. I am a hobbyist living in Finland, and have been thinking about local wood species I could use for making a cutting board. In particular birch (Betula pendula) for it is light, alder (Alnus glutinosa), because it is reddish and the heartwood of rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) which is beautifully dark. I would imagine some of the same, or similar species grow over there, so I wonder if you have tried to use any of them, and what your experience is?

[@mtmwood]

Birch becomes ugly after oiling. I do not use alder, it is soft. The best woods of our area are oak and ash.

[@ktjwilliams]

Very good Thank You ...

[@paulkolodner2445]

Thanks for the excellent and well-thought-out tutorial. I have two suggestions about humidity control. First, your humidifier is getting ruined by the minerals in your water. I suggest that you buy a distiller and only put distilled water into the humidifier. This will save your humidifier, and a good distiller can be cleaned more easily than a humidifier. My $150 distiller from h20labs.com produces 4 L in about 6 hours - much faster than you use water. That leaves you plenty of down time to clean the distiller when it's needed. Plus, in the winter, the electricity for the distiller costs you nothing because it adds heat to the room, reducing your heating bill. Second, your comment about electronic humidity meters used to be true, but they have gotten much better. I bought humidity loggers from Onset Computer Corp and keep them calibrated. They have stayed pretty accurate over the last 10 years.

[@mtmwood]

I use only distilled water. I buy it in the shop. 5 liters for whole winter. Thanks!

[@MintYourCar]

Thank you for sharing. Excellent!

[@blackemmons]

[@michaelserafin9495]

Your work is incredible. Both your woodwork and video creations. I do have a question.. What would you use in replace of a drum sander if you did not have one?

[@mtmwood]

Michael Serafin Skip this stage and go directly to the orbital sander.

[@ryank864]

Michael Serafin I'm in the same boat. I do not have a drum sander so I used my belt sander. I screwed a 1X4 on my work bench to hold the board on the table for me. It took me a while but they turned out great. Having the proper grit is most important. Good luck!

[@stevefranks9873]

Really enjoy watching your videos, you're a master. That drum sander looks heavy duty, would you recommend something else for us cheap "do-it-yourself" guys?

[@mtmwood]

+Steve Franks This is 3HP dual drum sander. Take 2HP.

[@dulo80]

Really amazing videos, and awesome work, thank you! I actually have a question. I always see cutting boards get spray with water before final sanding to raise the grain which make sense for edge grain but how about end grain?
