The basics of making end grain cutting boards. Part 1.

[@ugoleftillgorite]

I appreciate all of the time and effort you take to not only document your process but also illustrate it in a way that breaks the language barrier. You go above and beyond for us and I thank you for it!

[@mtmwood]

I made the material for this video a year ago.:) Thanks!

[@valimel]

One of the best tutorials in KZbin, not only for cutting boards, also for beginers woodworkers, i have a workshop since a long time, but i wish i had all this info when i started, THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT, and for the one that dislike this video, just say why?, why dislike a video where someone that is probably the best person making cutting boards puts all his knowledge for free?

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@akivazohar2502]

Fantastic It lays out all the details that are often rushed over in other videos This is one that I will go back to for guidance Thanks

[@brukernavnfettsjit]

Thank you for sharing! I LOVE the level of detail you put in to this. Very nice to learn about different wood grains and drying/wood movements. Many (me included) find wood movement and drying a daunting subject.

[@mtmwood]

Thanks! It is impossible to make good cutting boards without this knowledge. Thanks!

[@kevindumais9610]

Wow I never realized how much work goes into making one of those cutting boards, but you still make it look easy!

[@mtmwood]

I think that cutting boards should be made more carefully than furniture. You may do small mistakes in making furniture, but not in cutting boards.:)

[@nro542]

mtmwood How true...

[@mtmwood]

Larry Maykin Only few people think so.:)

[@larrykinman8791]

What bits do you use for inlays?

[@terrycox2165]

Great tutorial sir. Well put together and easy to understand. Thank you and keep up the awesome work.

[@hotrodhog2170]

Thank you for sharing your methods of making these beautiful boards! Спасибо, что поделились своими методами создания этих красивых плат!

[@Janogomez90]

Thanks for taking your time to kindly explain the process with such detail and simplicity. I think you really have a fine, educational, technical and artistic channel. All my respects and admiration!

[@johnarnold4431]

This is te best video I have seen on the basics of cutting board construction. I am just starting out in wood working, and am always looking for adivice and ideas. IMO, you are the best. Thank you.

[@mtmwood]

This tutorial is mostly about working with wood. Thanks for watching!

[@nro542]

I have made thousands of end grain boards but always learn something new from your videos... waiting the the next instalment...

[@mtmwood]

Me too.:) Thanks Larry!

[@viacheslav-nikolayenko]

Поистине настоящий мастер! Не делаете тайны из своей работы.

[@mtmwood]

Спасибо!

[@harvesthunt]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passing on the skills! It's great that you share with us.

[@pmelchman]

Andrei, this is a fantastic video for all new and veteran woodworkers. It is filled a great foundation of knowledge to build on. I need to do some research on the humidity in my garage / shop. I am glad that you used basic wood working tools , ( 12" planer) to show people that it can be done. The segment on clamps was awesome. Pipe clamps are also cheaper then the bar clamp style. It makes me laugh how people stressed out because of the fact that you don't speak in your videos......well in some of your earlier videos, you spoke Russian ....... and guess what?...... I didn't understand anyway. ...... I salute you Andrei. Its your choice, its your video. I look forward to the next video and am ready to learn and put to practice on my next cutting board. Best Regards to you and your family...... Patrick Melchior Work hard, live well, and relax

[@mtmwood]

Thanks, Patrick! I speak in my Russian videos, but not a lot. I want to show my work, not speak. Good luck!

[@mtmwood]

Edson Oseas Спасибо за просмотр!

[@RoboCNCnl]

Amazingly informative, great video, cant wait for the next.. Ps... I thought you would finally reveal why you always use one glove when tightening the clamps, but no... It remains a mystery.. lol

[@mtmwood]

I wanted to get away from this question here, but I couldn't.:)

[@MrKikoboy]

He answered that before - you should check back through all his other videos!

[@azduststorm22]

I made one from poplar and oak and it turned out pretty good

[@mjrwey]

+TK WX Oak has wider pores so it has a greater tendency to trap bacteria. Just something to be aware of when washing it, maybe give it a little extra attention

[@azduststorm22]

+Matthew R i didnt mean a cutting board, i was talking about a different project. No i made a board out of purple heart and yellow heart

[@mtmwood]

+Matthew R Oak is the best wood to kill bacteria - mtmwood.com/?route=information/information&information_id=13

[@alexsenst4403]

mtmwood your an inspiration! My i created my cover photo with your help!

[@pedrohernandez6538]

Hola mtm, quisiera hacer una consulta sobre una herramienta que usted utiliza. Quiero comprar una lijadora plana de rodillo estacionaria de 1 solo rodillo, la que usted utiliza es de 2 rodillos. Mi pregunta es , al ser de 1 rodillo que tipo o numero de grano de lijar debería utilizar? Muy gordo para dejar plano o fino... no se , podria ayudarme con pequeña explicacion. Un saludo desde España y muchas gracias

[@wzukr]

"The grain cut board -makers basics, part1" brought to us by Andrei. I can´t thank you enough for this vid! I also would like to know if one can use stabilised wood for this work, benefits and drawbacks?

[@Zerkbern]

Thanks for the effort in making this series! I would love to hear your verbal comments as well...even if they are in another language w/ subtitles.

[@mtmwood]

I will make a shop tour in Russian soon. Thanks for watching!

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@BackyardWoodworking]

Good information.

[@mtmwood]

Thanks!

[@akakemushi439]

This is a very informative video!! Thanks for making it! Is there a bigger list of wood properties like the list at 4:40 somewhere online? I don’t have access to most of the woods on that list unfortunately.

[@simon_far]

Is there a specific reason that you cut it into little blocks? Can you not just glue strips of endgrain together to make a board? Thanks for the videos, they are very clear and informative.

[@mtmwood]

+simonfarquharson The reason is shrinkage. The smaller the pieces of wood, the more stable and durable is the board.

[@christopheadvielle3719]

Very interesting ! Thank you

[@mtmwood]

Thanks!

[@dietermayr5888]

Thank's for your great and very informative videos! What do you think of using european beech for a cuttingboard ? I have a bunch of scraps and leftovers of european beech wood that would add up to a nicely sized endgrain board.

[@mtmwood]

I think that beech is one of the worst woods for end grain cutting boards. It is very hygroscopic and has a highest shrinkage. www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/hardwoods/european-beech/

[@dietermayr5888]

mtmwood Thanks! I found some quiet contrary thoughts about wood-movement of beech. I think i will just glue together some of the scraps I have around, soak them with oil like I would a cuttingboard and see how they develope in our kitchen. I do not have any hurry as I have a nice oak endgrain board already, but hey, one can never have too many cutting borads ;)

[@mtmwood]

Dieter Mayr Beech is a very popular wood for cutting boards in many countries. This is a dense and cheap wood. But I don't like it. The smaller pieces of beech you use the better. And glue them in proper direction. The movements of these pieces should balance each other.

[@martind.4930]

Andrey, do the size of the stripes matter? I want to build some end grain cutting board from scrap maple stripes. I have several width. For the first glue-up, do I have to resaw the stripes all the same width or would it be OK to glue together a mix of 1'' width, 2" width, 1.5" width, 3'' width? Until I reach my desired total width.

[@mtmwood]

No, it doesn't matter. But don't use too wide strips. The wider is the strip the more the board will be prone to cracking. Usually I don't use strips wider that 2"

[@davidbreazeale820]

Thanks for the video. I did the google search for the pipe clamps, however, could you post the link to the type you displayed .

[@mtmwood]

David Breazeale I use this, the most popular type of pipe clamps. Not Pony, but China made. Cheap and good. www.ebay.com/itm/PONY-50-Clamp-Fixture-for-3-4-Inch-Black-Pipe-Wood-Working-Free-Shipping-NEW-/251818904500

[@Aussie631]

Hi Andrei What range of hardness of wood would you suggest to use? I have looked up Walnut and Maple and they seem to be around the 1000 lbf - all the Australian hardwoods seem to be above 2000 lbf. Would that be too hard? Cheers André

[@mtmwood]

Janka hardness: Hard maple - 1,450 lbf (6,450 N) Black walnut - 1,010 lbf (4,490 N) Purpleheart - 2,520 lbf (11,190 N) The hardest wood I worked with is azobe - 3,220 lbf (14,330 N). It is like glass after sanding. I think the best range is from 1000 to 1800 lbf, maybe up to 2000. I like European oak - 1,120 lbf (4,980 N).

[@pedrohernandez6538]

Este video en castellano tendría muchas visitas...jejeje

[@davidross7674]

andrie , what do you do to or with your glue roller to be able to reuse it again and again. and do you recommend wiping down your cutting boards with denatured alcohol after finish sanding and before treating with mineral oil.....thanks so much

[@mtmwood]

David Ross kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV6UemmvarWtask No, I do not wipe the board.

[@joahuamartin83]

This may be a dumb question, but how do you keep the glue roller from drying up when you're not using it?

[@mtmwood]

+Joshua Martin Not dump, many people ask the same - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV6UemmvarWtask

[@keithketcham5805]

Thank you!!

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@pedrohernandez6538]

Ok, intentare traducir. Por favor mtm una última pregunta, una sierra de 1500w o 2hp cortaría esa madera sin problemas? Lo siento.. Perdón por las preguntas pero me cuesta entender muchas cosas y creo le pregunto al mejor que he visto . Gracias

[@mtmwood]

Ты имеешь в виду 2HP Makita 2012? Он хороший, но для изготовления торцевых разделочных досок у него не хватает мощности.

[@dannycruz2480]

what kind of brush do you use on your paint roller when applying glue? i just tried to do this using the only painter roller i had around, and the brush seemed to just suck up most of the glue and not spread it around very well. thanks for the video!

Plz make and show me different kind of wood hanging lights 5pcs like that

[@pedrohernandez6538]

Gracias por compartir mtmwood. Es maravilloso lo que haces. Una pregunta que habrás contestado muchas veces, pero no se idioma, que líquido es el que sumerges la madera al final? Un saludo desde España ...

[@mtmwood]

No entiendo la pregunta. Ahora estoy en España.

[@MrKikoboy]

I believe he uses mineral oil and then after draining he applies a mixture of 3-4 parts mineral oil melted with beeswax...

[@mtmwood]

MrKikoboy Right. I will show this tomorrow.

[@modelismepassion4493]

Bonjour, Super intéressante cette vidéo sur les bases de la fabrication de planches à découper. Y-a.t-il une version française. Merci d'avance de votre réponse. Yves Hello, Super interesting this video on the basics of making chopping boards. Is there a French version? Thank you in advance for your response. Yves

[@mtmwood]

Unfortunately no

[@modelismepassion4493]

tant pis, never mind

[@juridzh]

Здравствуйте, я тут себе трубных струбцин в "мастерскую на балконе" купил, долго смотрел в магазине на черные и оцинкованные трубы. Оцинкованные с виду куда аккуратнее и чище. Вы используете черные судя по всему, чем то конкретным руководствуетесь? Понятно что цинк обдираться будет, но может еще какие минусы есть а я про них не знаю :) З.Ы. Спасибо за Ваши видео! Прекрасная работа!

[@mtmwood]

У меня были оцинкованные. 1. К ним крепче прилипает клей 2. Их диаметр немного больше черных, трудно нарезать резьбу 3. Они дороже Спасибо!

[@deweyradabaugh9219]

I've watched many of your videos and have learned many facts about cutting boards from your video presentations. How ever, I still have an occasional warpage in some of my boards. Any suggestions on how to prevent the warpage?

[@mtmwood]

+Dewey Radabaugh The main reason is the wood and air humidity.

[@deweyradabaugh9219]

Why the wood? Do you mean species of wood? Or to many pieces with grain going in same direction? If you have a video that helps explain this, let me know. I really want to improve my products.

[@mtmwood]

Dewey Radabaugh I meant wood humidity, the moisture content. Use only kiln dried wood, about 8% moisture content.

[@deweyradabaugh9219]

I'll check with the lumber mill on my next order. They have kiln dried wood, but i'll check with them on the moisture content. Thanks for the advice. And again, you do great work.

[@Boomers_Bud]

Awesome video. I will leave it at that. :D Derek

[@mtmwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@ryanpappas6208]

Love your boards. Very inspirational. I have a question. I am getting black stains mainly on my maple after glue ups. I thinks it's the black from my pipe clamps. How do you avoid this from happening?

[@mtmwood]

Me too. They disappear after planing. Thanks!

[@pedrohernandez6538]

No es makita, es una sierra escuadradora muy parecida a la tuya pero de 1500 watios 4000 revoluciones por minuto... Por eso te preguntaba si servía para cortar ese tipo de madera

[@mtmwood]

Да, его можно использовать.

[@jean-marcfrance4929]

Hello, I love your videos (from France) How do you remove glue on the iron pipes? because glue tends to rust. thank you very much

[@mtmwood]

I do not remove it. Dried glue can be easily removed when you move a movable jaw (head). When you can't move it just hit by the metal clutches at the edge of the bench. And use "black" pipes without any covering. Thanks!

[@crmusicproduction]

is using soft and hard woods together?

[@mtmwood]

No

[@eraalza]

Hi, Do you know if the europian birch is suitable for endgrain gutting board?

[@mtmwood]

+eraalza Yes.

[@timbrumfield8872]

Great video. Very informative. Just curious, what brand of table saw is that? It is very large.

[@mtmwood]

It is SC-30, Griggio, Italy. It is not small and powerful.

[@mitchs2281]

I'm new to woodworking so I don't have a planer yet. All the steps that use the planer can I sand instead??

[@mtmwood]

mitchs2281 Yes, you can, but it is a waste of time, labour and quality. 10-15 years ago nobody had a planer in the shop, but the boards were making.:)

[@mitchs2281]

ok. I was afraid you were going to say that. Guess I will have to get a planer. Thanks. Love your videos. One day I hope to make a cutting board as good as yours.

[@Minzmarshmallow]

Can I use douglas wood too for Cuttingboards? I like the rosy tone in the wood

[@oleksandr3789]

Скажите, а от чего может "повести" уже готовую доску? (имею ввиду склееную, отшлифованную и обработанную маслом). Влажность в новом помещении? Влажность дерева? Спасибо заранее.

[@mtmwood]

Aleksandr Kalashnik Доска впитывает влагу из воздуха и отдает ее при изменении влажности. Никакое покрытие, в том числе лак, краска, масло, не способно этому противостоять. Тем более минеральное масло, которое не образует твердую пленку. Для каждого значения влажности воздуха и температуры есть свой показатель влажности древесины, которая усыхает и расширяется. Это учитывается и при изготовлении мебели. Скачайте учебник по ссылке в описании, там подробно это описано.

[@oleksandr3789]

mtmwood Спасибо, Андрей. Будем учить матчасть. Одну из 20-25 досок "ведет". При чем то ясеневу, то дубово-ясеневую, то ореховую. Хотя остальные из того же распила и той же партии сушки - нормально. Спасибо за быстрый и внятный ответ.

[@mtmwood]

Aleksandr Kalashnik Если одну из..., то обратите также внимание на расположение годичных колец в соведних делянках.

U make beautiful pieces and know ALOT about wood Who wood"of thought theres all that to consider in making a cutting board!

[@mtmwood]

Joe Walters Cutting board does not forgive mistakes.:)

[@tooljunkie555]

mtmwood thats for sure..what if I have a 2"thick 8x12"piece of african mahogany. .will that make a nice cutting board if I use butcher block oil /finish on it. (4coats)

[@mtmwood]

It will crack. It is better cut it and then glue again.

[@tooljunkie555]

so your saying to cut into say four 2" pieces and glue them together? also should i use biscuits?

[@tooljunkie555]

and thank u very much for that info ..i would have been upset in the near future. my wife uses cutting board everyday like 2-3 xs a day.. so its going to get a lot of use.. the mahogany was given to me fro a friend..thats why i am using it..maybe i should mix some oak in with it?
