Turning a Free Coffee Table into a $270 Charcuterie Board

[@calebsanz9826]

Quick tip…lightly wet the board before you brand it. It will stop that board from splitting like it did.

[@TroyCroatto]

That branding and hand written burn on the back was the chefs kiss, definitely elevated it to another level and gives an additional talking point about the board for the new owner!

[@88rushrocks]

That’s exactly my thoughts. And I need to start doing this on my wood working projects

[@TroyCroatto]

@@88rushrocks true, all things considered it’s a “small effort” compared to the returns and a skill that will only get better over time too

[@celticsfaninthedesert4778]

Yeah, except he split the joints while doing it. Honestly, this is basically grade school ability. It’s atrocious he sold this for so much

Morley, I LOVE your personality! Your so up-beat and I also truly appreciate your show for the clean language. Keep up the great work. THANKS!

My brother made a checker board design on a cutting board for my mother and she still uses to this day. It is 43 yrs old and he used light and dark wood to get that checker look.

[@buckeyeboi2010]

Love these videos man. Very intriguing and attention grabbing. You don't have a shop with top of the line tools so for someone like me these videos are inspiring and pretty realistic to imitate. Thank you.

[@Halloumas555]

a very cool idea would be to include a QR code in your branding that links to your youtube video of making that product. Keep up the great work!

[@zenmanyo35]

Dude -- Love your imagination, how you can see some old "junk" on the side of the road and immediately recognize how it can be brought back to life. L'chiam!

Thank you! In this case, I had no idea what I was gonna do with the coffee table, but sometimes you just gotta follow your instincts and trust that you’ll figure it out later on! L’chaim 😉

I now have a whole farm of 3D printers (7 assembled, and about 5 more waiting to be built), 3 laser machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 100W CO2 machine, and 3 CNC machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 2+ x 4+ ft DIY plasma based on V1E LowRider v3, and a 4+ x 8+ ft DIY router based on V1E LowRider v3.

When you use a branding iron it helps if you wet the wood first with a spray bottle so you don't get as much excess burning you did a really good job on this well done mate

Ive got these slats from an old ikea bedframe, replaced it some time back because what self respecting woodworker buys / has Ikea furniture 😅. That being said the slats that held the mattess are actually great looking ply pieces! Slightly warped, but all to the exact same bend, whick works for a unique look for my intended coffee table. Im turning them up on their side, and using flourecent acrylic strips between each slat. Not sure which color yet, but work in an acrylic fabrication shop, so no problem securing parts 😁

[@ms.jenkinskbclassroom6066]

I like that that beautiful maple wood got repurposed.

[@Badaim117]

The expectation/hope of being paid $100 an hour for this level of effort is a little out of touch... even at $200 USD, the board is quite expensive for what it is as large end grain cutting boards can be bought for a similar price. Don't get me wrong, the board turned out looking nice, but I do think expectations should be tempered when selling something so ubiquitous. Anyways, thanks for the video and merry Christmas to you.

You should have made a vertical stand with the excess wood. As opposed to risers, it would offer a more elegant and ergonomic storage for when it is not in use.

[@1972Russianwolf]

Fairly sure that you may have had some cherry wood in there. The grain of maple and cherry are very similar. I've had cherry sapwood boards that I would mistake for maple if I didn't know the actual tree it was cut from.

[@Bandit_Prospecting]

Why do you hold down the igniter button on your MAP torch and then light it with a stick lighter? The igniter button should light it for you.

Hi Morley, I’ve been able to get my wife to watch your great KZbin videos with me. Very inspiring. What are your thoughts about repurposing finished hardwood furniture and running it through a planer or table saw? Just wondering if you have any health concerns? I haven’t done a charcuterie or cutting board but this has been my thought for a while, why not use old furniture and remove the finish and use it for a build… Curious on your thoughts!? Thanks for your content! Keep it up, looking forward to your CD build!

@@brucehansen7949 Bruce my man It sounds like you have some limiting beliefs and you’re just projecting. I don’t think you understand that individuals can price their work whatever they want. There are photos in gallery’s that are worth $100,000 dollars… a PHOTO! There’s 8 billion people in the world, someone is going to want this 1 of 1 original made piece. I would just simply keep that in mind and hope you make some dope stuff to sell that someone is going to want to buy 🙏

[@dellcomputeification]

What wood & what oil is safe to build kitchens cutting boards?

[@1cent396]

You did something beautiful from garage

[@EggsForDays]

I thought you have to have one face of the project already flat in order for a planer to flatten out the other surface. Is the planing here just to clean up the wood and the project does not necessarily have a flat top? I'm still learning so just wondering, thanks.

[@andrewoatman6745]

Flattening one side before planing allows you to get the two surfaces parallel to each other, which isnt strictly necessary for a board like this. But the planer will make each surface flat no matter what, unless you take too deep of plane passes. You should read some old popular woodworking articles about stock prep.

[@andreafeelsfantastic]

Because he is reusing wood from furniture it was probably flat already. My makerspace does not let us use reclaimed wood in the planer and jointer though because of the risk of hardware hidden within it damaging the blades. They are very expensive to replace!

[@JohannesJones-sr7yo]

Nice work, but $270 for a flat, mostly featureless board comprised of wood processed and glued simply is a bit ridiculous, regardless of time spent. It is a charcuterie board sold for $270, not a "$270 charcuterie board".

I think a person could have easily gotten a piece of glass for that table but since it had an older look to it (that isn't my style and maybe not your either) so I think using the wood for a charcuterie board was really cool

[@ShayanGivehchian]

Not gonna lie that's pretty expensive. You can get end grain boards for this price.

[@michaelwillson6847]

It is but Its only expensive if people aren't willing to pay it. 🤔

[@ShayanGivehchian]

@Michael Willson you can fund end grain one off maple or walnut boards for around 150 to 200 and edge grain for around 100 to 150 o etsy or other makers. This is more of a novelty KZbin merch purchase. Even the shipping to Oregon is gonna cost around d 50$ from Toronto.

Hey Morely I need your help. I just bought the DJI wireless setup. I fought with other systems bla bla bla...Long story...anyway, how is the latency with this mic? Do you record on board and then sync up the audio clips in post or do you plug directly into your camera. If you plug directly into your camera, do you need to tweak the audio by 1 or 2 frames to sync it up correctly? Thanks! Been loving your videos for awhile now!

[@MorleyKert]

I plug directly into my camera and have no (noticeable) issues with sync. Thanks for watching!

@@MorleyKert Ok sweet! I originally bought the Synco G3 in order to stay on a budget. I recorded one video had what I thought was audio issues. I asked my girlfriend if she thought the audio was synced and she said yes...but im pretty sure it is like 1 or 2 frames off. Then I ordered the Rhode Go and ultimately decided I wanted the flexibility of doing everything from the actual device itself as well as I wanted the charging case, so I canceled that and ordered the DJI.
