Unusual End Grain Cutting Board, Coasters and Stand

Join me in the shop as I show you how I built this unique end grain cutting board from Padauk, Walnut, Hard Maple, Osage Orange and Purpleheart wood. I also built some matching coasters and a walnut stand.

Beautiful work Hot stuff. I'll keep watching 👀 😊

[@FireflyWoodworking]

This project turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I’m glad you like it. Thanks for watching!

[@BigJohn-i5h]

Wish I could help . 😁

Beautiful work! Your client is an excellent designer and your work is flawless. I like your design for the router flattening sled. It’s nice to see one that’s effective and not so ridiculously over engineered lol.

[@FireflyWoodworking]

I know what you mean. I have a few sleds that took longer to make than the project I needed them for. I’m definitely on the hunt for simpler sled designs. This project was a great collaboration and I think I might enlist this client in the future if I ever run out of ideas. Thanks for watching!

Beautifully done. Just found your channel, time to binge watch to see what else I can learn

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Binge away! Please let me know if you have any special requests or suggestions for my next videos. I want to create an interactive learning environment. Thanks for watching!

[@RobWilliamsJr]

I'm very happy with OUR design! Thank you so much! It is truly a work of art.

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Hope you are getting a ton of use out of it!

I just watched your video and noticed that you had your push block at almost vertical angle at the jointer. If you cut a little rubber strip off going across the heel of the block and sand to bare plastic, then epoxy a small foot about 1/4 to 3/8 inch high. Hooking the foot over the end of the board makes it easy to push through the jointer. I use them a lot (just a thought). I do like your videos. 😀👍

[@FireflyWoodworking]

I love this suggestion! I definitely struggle with wide boards especially as they get flat and start to almost suction to the jointer bed. I’ve also seen people use their tablesaw push stick with a heel. Thanks for watching and for leaving a fantastic tip!

[@randymartin2396]

I I like the prodject and the design

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Thanks! It was a ton of fun. I’m working on some new designs and can’t wait to share them.

[@patrickfee5065]

I just found your channel... and loved the way you were able to take some else's design and figure out the way to build it....i think only thing different i would do is add a cross piece bestrewn the stand uprights... great job

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Excellent suggestion! I’ve been experimenting with other stand options and appreciate your feedback. Thanks for watching!

[@FireflyWoodworking]

You are most welcome. It was so much fun to make something totally original. Thanks for watching!

[@franciscoramirez-nb4er]

Your boards are very nice

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@kandiecandelaria3134]

Beautiful! And yes please make videos on your jigs! I’m just getting starting on making more “designed” cutting boards.

[@FireflyWoodworking]

I’ve been meaning to make a jig video for too long. So much to do, so little time. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Can’t wait to see what you design!

[@kitsuiam1082]

For the stands of the cutting board I think you could attach a small chain between them or small magnets so that they wouldn't lose and for the coasters jus make a small enclosed wooden container , probably with the same offcuts jus to keep them organized.......anyway jus a suggestion .......the board is phenomenal and looking great and truly a piece of art!!!!!...... cheers from India and looking forward to watch new videos ......byeeee😀😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Great suggestions! I thought about attaching like a dowel between the stands but I thought it would be too rigid, but a chain is brilliant! The client and I originally talked about a box to hold the coasters but decided against it. But I love that idea too! Maybe 3 sided?!? Thanks for all the thoughtful input and for watching.

[@kitsuiam1082]

@@FireflyWoodworking ur welcome!😊

[@kurtreed9841]

Which model is your Sawstop? Looks like it's a PCS, but did you go with the 1.75 or 3HP? Also, another great build!

[@FireflyWoodworking]

It’s the Industrial Cabinet Saw 10” 5hp 1 phase 230v. I got the 52” T glide fence and the sliding crosscut table attachment. It’s been an amazing upgrade to my shop.

[@tangoterrier]

Be careful of your fingers when shaping small pieces like the stand. It looked as if you came quite close to the cutter and if it catches in the wood it will fling the piece across the shop and your fingers could easily go into the cutter. End product and the video very good.

[@FireflyWoodworking]

Thanks for the tip! I love feedback whether on technique or design and I appreciate that you took the time to leave a thoughtful comment.

[@Neeboopsh]

metric wrenches?!?!?!

[@FireflyWoodworking]

I have a set of each (metric and standard).

[@tedpechie6642]

You are too hard on yourself. You are 10 times that wood worker most of us watching the videos are

[@FireflyWoodworking]

That’s really nice to hear. Imposter syndrome is rampant amongst us. Thanks for watching!
