Me too! But where? In NJ or the UK? 🤔

@@vincentferrari 🤣🤣🤣 UK but your scenary is way better ... just bring the trees !

Bowls and cutting boards are completely different types of finishes, though. With bowls you want something hard and durable that'll withstand handling, washing, etc. With cutting boards, you just want a sealant, and even if the penetration isn't 100% you still get a good sealant (plenty for its purpose on a cutting board). Walnut oil does sound interesting, and I imagine if I was turning bowls or making that sort of stuff it would be worth checking out! I have had boards break on customers in the past (after a bad drop, usually) and I've done repairs and gotten a good look at a cross section and while the oil doesn't go all the way in, it definitely gets deep enough to do its job. I also give a can of stuff to my customers so they can do maintenance as needed and will refinish a board if it dries out on them, and so far only one board dried out after about 5 years of zero maintenance, so I'd say in the real world just about anything is adequate for a cutting board :) Thanks for your comment! I'm going to try the walnut oil for non cutting boards for sure!

Well, as for finishes on bowls, you do not want a hard finish. Main reason is that wood moves, and any hard surface finish will eventually fail because of wood movement. The walnut oil does cure and harden, which mineral oil never does. The owner of the Doctor's woodshop commented that mineral oil was used on the old butcher blocks as an 'impermeable' finish, applied at night, and then scraped off in the morning before starting again. My preference for cutting boards when I do make them, is for end grain rather than flat grain. With end grain, the oil will penetrate a lot deeper than flat/side grain.

Tung oil (food grade or 100% pure) is an alternative. I applied to my teak cutting board in light coats only followed by wiping excess off immediately (a whole other discussion - the correct way to apply Tung oil). I then let it cure for a month after drying and buffing. Then I apply a mineral oil/beeswax paste and periodically as needed

Thanks brotha!! It works a treat too!

My pleasure!

Okay if you insist :)

Thank you! Necessity required my processes to speed up so I sped them up and I have been really happy with how this technique works!

Thank you! I’m so much more efficient doing it this way!

Awww thanks!! :)

Thanks man!!! I’m a big fan, too, and it saves me so much time!!

Onto the board we goooooooooo

Hells yes! Isn’t that what those cookie jars are for? Delicious things? 🤣

@@vincentferrari 😆

That works too!

Coffee is pretty good it would just have to be really strong and sit in it for a long time!

I only go up to 220. Can’t really feel a difference after that 😉

@@vincentferrari Thank you for the reply. Mark

Funny you ask because right now I wanna punt it out the window because the ones I have are sliding on the spindles!! I'm pondering just sucking it up and buying a dedicated oscillating spindle sander and hoping I have better luck 😥 If you'd typically oil and wax a piece, this stuff works great for that and it smells awesome!

@@vincentferrari Yeah, I'm thinking of just buying a new one, too. Seems like a waste but I guess there's no fix for it. Looking forward to your next video!

I'm pissed because the whole reason I bought this one was so I didn't have to have two machines and now the spindles are useless. I even tried wrapping the spindles themselves in masking tape to take up any gaps but it just did nothing, and even if I cap the spindles it's like the sleeves aren't grabbing the spindle any more so it wouldn't slide up and down but the second I apply any material to the sleeve the shaft would spin but the sleeve won't. It's beyond aggravating!! Also I did notice they redesigned it. I wonder if the new one has the same issue?

@@vincentferrari I hear ya! I haven’t even used mine in years because of the issue with the sleeves. But at the same time I couldn’t get myself to get rid of it because it works fine otherwise. I didn’t know they redesigned it. I’ll have to check out the new one.

I'm not holding out a ton of hope, frankly 🤣

Misses the point and the rest of the video while leaving a comment. You’re welcome.

@handmadebyvincentferrari 🤣 I never "misses" the point. 🤣

Guess you don’t grammar either.

How could he have missed any spots given the final result?

It all depends on usage. Generally 8 months to a year before reapplication!

Thanks!! It works like a charm, too!!

It’ll probably darken them somewhat as well. Mineral oil is one of the components of the finish.

@@vincentferrari thank you

@@vincentferrari will clear gloss spray on lacquer work for chacuterie boards? It will make my hardwood dowels stand out better

@@larrybaker5316 I don’t know that lacquer is food safe though 🤔

@@vincentferrari thanks

If you mean for soaking, I used to do that in the shop before this one but I found this method was quicker, easier, and didn’t need as much dry time afterward. A mineral oil bath is perfectly fine, though, and I even reference my old method of doing it that way in this video!

@@vincentferrari ok that’s my bad. I thought you said you didn’t reuse your mineral and emptied it every time.

@ReedAllen162 ahhhh okay yeah in the shop in the video I would have had to do that just because I didn’t have the storage space to leave it set up so maybe that’s the confusion. I don’t remember if I said that or not 🤣

I actually have done exactly that for people, I just sand the surface to get any deep cuts out and do the same exact procedure 😊

@@vincentferrari thank you

Yeah it was a good process but the timing was so precise that the border between perfect and oil logged was very tight! No more worrying about that 😁

It was 16x19 and borrowed space which sadly I no longer have 😢

I used to use a Shapeoko 3 XXL.

Thanks for the specific feedback on six seconds of my video that represents an inside joke with my followers. You really zeroed in on the important part.

If it's really a joke then have a sense of humour and not take yourself so seriously@@vincentferrari

@@barrydoubleday8144 Or you could just keep moving and ignore the six seconds you don’t like and keep moving. You know. Like an adult. Spend more time posting your own shit and less time criticizing other people doing things.

@barrydoubleday8144 It’s funny how anonymity online really brings out people’s true character, like yours for instance. Petty, uncharitable and ungrateful.

Sometimes children can’t control themselves and just blurt out any thought that hits their brain. 🤷‍♂️
