Thanks Richard!!

Thank you Zachary!!

Not OP but 2nd glue up is face grain.

Epoxy is not food safe. Tight Bond III is one food safe glue and waterproof.

@@mass112594 wrong. Please don’t state as fact things that you haven’t researched. Cured it’s safe. Just as with all modern finishes.

Thank you very much!! You’re absolutely right this block is so damn heavy so werever it’s placed it will stay

rotate the grain rings when you are gluing them up. look at the end grain if rings are pointing up the next strip should be 90*, do this each for each strip. this will keep it from cupping.

Thank you!!

why would you want this?? super heavy and doesn't do anything a one inch board wouldn't do. Sorry to talk shit on this vid bro.. but this is just flexing and serves no actual purpose. Why not make it a foot thick??? LOL

@@urwholefamilydied Commercial use would be my guess.

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Uriel Jeffrey Instablaster =)

@Koa Jerome I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

Thank you Dan!!

Is that why you staggered the boards in glue up? I dont see why you would want to waste 2 inches in length?!

@@stevenholton438 I figured he was trying to offset the seams, but I may be wrong.

It's called a shaper, kinda like a router table on steroids.

Thank you very much Alan!!

I think ash would be fine. In the US, baseball bats are made of ash.

Guess the guy doesn’t talk lol.

Me too. lol

Thank you John!! I’m not sure about the weight but it’s pretty heavy. Any wood shop can make this if you have one nearby

Large single wood blocks, depending on the species, are prone to cracking as they dry. this is why you rarely see this type of cutting board. Cracks in a cutting board will collect food and meat juices and grow bacteria - not what you want. If your block is old and dry and free of cracks, I don't see any reason not to give it a try.

@@jfsauer42 Crystal, thank you John. I'll try, my wood block looks perfectly dry.

I guess because of its completely waterproof and has better hold.

Most wood glues cure brown/yellow on ash.

@@marquisbois990 I didn't know that because I rarely use ash... thanks for the knowledge nugget.

Thank you Martin!! Because of the size of the glue up I wanted a bit more working time

@@EliasKlingvall I had the same question, glad someone asked... great job there my friend

Thank you Roger!!

I didn't think any epoxy was food safe?

@@n_check3543 Agree, I paused the video as soon as he used it to see what comments thought.

The wood will break before the glue.

Sure can be.. osmo-store.com/product/topoil-high-solid/

TheFlier if it falls on you it might do some damage.

It’s Osmo top oil

@@EliasKlingvall I hadn’t heard of Osmo before-cool. How does it compare to mineral oil + beeswax? Does it impart any taste to food?

Or both I guess.

It’s a guard so you won’t put your hands in the wrong place it doesn’t really put any pressure on the workpiece

@@EliasKlingvall ohhhh. Gotcha. Thank you.

Tack så mycket Mats!! Den är 15cm hög 40cm djup och 50cm lång

You visit your local wood shop and ask them to make you one

Thank you Clyde!!

Thank you Kobie!!

Thank you very much Malik!!

the danger I see is ash is a long grain porous wood, it can trap food juice and create a perfect nest for bad bacteria to grow.

It’s Osmo Top Oil. And you’re absolutely right most finishes are safe as long as they are fully cured

Thanks a lot, I actually have some of that.

I had the same question. From all I've read Ash and Oak are not great choices for cutting boards. I'd be very interested in whether these sort of boards require extra maintenance, or whether they could split/crack soon

@@ghabcdef @rosmod Yes Ash is bad for end grain boards. Even when maintaining good the open pores will keep water and with it bacteria. It does make good serving boards though.

Tackar Johan!!

I was thinking the same thing. Or the router blade is dull and has been used too many times. I don’t typically get burn marks w/ my router any more. I control the speed. If you move the router too slow you will get burn marks as well.

Thank you very much!!

Thank you!! A thicker block is more stable and can take a harder beating but in this case it’s to get a better work height of a low counter top

Elias Klingvall Thank you for answering my question. That's what I thought, but didn't want to assume. It looks like it will withstand through time and hard use. :)

Tack så mycket Marcus!! Den är gjord helt av spill från andra projekt men jag skulle tippa på att virket gick på 300-400kr

@@EliasKlingvall okej :D jag har planer på att bygga ett eget butcherblock men vet inte riktigt vart man kan få tag i fint trä till det :/ tror du gammal ek skulle kunna funka eller är det för hårt träslag?

Ek funkar kanon bara den inte är allt för sprucken. Vi köper mycke virke från Ceos och Holms trävaror om det hjälper

I need to know! Ha

also sprach zarathustra. Richard Strauss.

Yeah, that just killed this beautiful build for me.. This epoxy fad needs to stop.. people are literally making epoxy "river" cutting boards...

@@FJB2020 Totally agree with you.

Juris Joksts Generally, most experts agree, Epoxy is food safe when cured. And it appears the finish he used is Osmo Top Oil which is absolutely food safe.

@@kevinalmeyda It's really not up to experts. What does the manufacture say about the epoxy? Is should say on the can if it is safe for food contact. My only worry is you don't get it mixed right and some of the epoxy doesn't cure. Then its definitely not food safe. Titebond II or III are a better/cheaper/easier product for cutting boards.

It’s absolutely safe, though it should be thickened when used as a glue. These joints could separate. I’ve seen it on many boats built with the same system. As for “food safe,” that’s a HIGHLY misunderstood term. Damn near any finish is food safe when cured.

You do not have to eat from it, so what is your problem? You can make your own and glue it together with flour if you like. He made it that way. His choice. Why everybody thinks he has to vopy that one by one, or give his asswise comments on things. Do not like it, do not watch it.
