I love watching a "real person" doing a video. By that I mean, what you see is what you get, and no embellishment for the sake of flash. You show all the processes, not just the highlights. The fact that you are an immensely talented and creative wood artist is a major reason to keep watching your videos. Keep doing what you are doing, and I think your channel will go far.

I love the attention to detail even though you don't have the biggest, most expensive tools in the shop. (Or a drum sander) If most people just watched the last 3 minutes of the video or saw photos of the finished product, they would think you're using bigger and more expensive equipment than you are. Well deserved thumbs up.

I knew you were a Canadian boy when I fell in love with this channel! By now, I assume it's safe to say Congratulations is in order! Enjoy your precious babies while they're little, because before you know it they'll be 22 and moving 6000kms away. Love your work, from smack dab in the middle of nowhere, Nova Scotia!

You are a artist

Great job.... The sacrifice board while doing the finger grooves made this vid worth it alone.... I NEVER thought of that. Thanks

I’m a metalworker by trade but I love to make everything myself weather it’s metal wood resin or any other material, I love to watch other similar minded people doing the same , I might even attempt one of your patterns as handles for the knives I make , great channel keep it up

I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m a 20 year old girl who is interested in woodworking but I don’t have many resources but you gave me inspiration. Thanks 🙏 I hope you have an amazing day today!

AWESOME JOB RYAN!!!! Thank you so very much for your help!!

Seeing those colours come alive makes me want to cry with joy. Truly amazing.

Thank you from a Canadian to a fellow Canadian . I just love woodworking, endless to your imagination 💭

You're just like so many of us that don't have the best tools or the right tools or even THE tool but what you do have, that is sometimes the BEST tool and something we all wish we had, is all of that room that you have! Good on you, love your board and now onto more of your vids!

Cool boards. The purple heart really makes it pop. Thanks

WOW!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity!!!!!❤

Unbelievably beautiful! Glad to see a fellow Canadian doing well! 🇨🇦❤️

Wow!!! That was very labor intensive, but they turned out spectacularly. Beautiful job.

Beautiful boards

Love the design you use for this. I've watched loads of chaotic board videos and was thinking why has no one used diagonal cuts to put even more chaos in, something I wanted to try, glad to see the thought can work 👌✌️

WoW! Super cool, and beautiful! I had no idea so many different types of wood were food safe!

The fact that there is no other piece like this in the world says it all...this is the 2nd time I'm tuned in n I'm blown away by your creativity...much love n respect to you...blessings to ur fam

На мой взгляд это хоть и не сложная работа ,но самая выразительная и шедевральная! От души поздравляю ! Привет из России !

SIMPLEMENTE MAGNIFICO TRABAJO.

I would love to have even half that shop space. My shop is 8x12 feet. I built carts for all my big machines so I can roll them outside to have room to work.☺

Your process is the same as what a quilter does in piecing together that the pattern, cutting this to fit this, so that their pattern turns out the way the quilter expects it to turn out. If one row is wrong, the pattern won’t be correct. And so on and so on. I can totally understand what you are going through every day. Good luck in your chosen craft. And I keep watching🤩

Eres una persona muy sencilla y un chingon

feels like half that was a philosophy class and half a cutting board. woah. nice board. you should consider making a tapering jig to do that end grain bandsaw/jointer angle cut on the table saw instead. probably save a lot of time in the long run.

Found your channel randomly watching videos because I'm interesting in woodworking as a hobby (and cutting boards looks cool to do!) Finding a fellow B.C. person doing this is great! Fun videos and love your work.

Spinningly cool! Just found your channel and have been surfing through your videos. So much respect for your aesthetic sense and creativity, and your crazyamazing work ethic! I'd love to see this technique applied to other things, maybe a front door or fireplace mantel or even just a handrail on a stairway. Cheers! 😊

Awesomeness. A big table would be great, but seriously a rolling clamp rack. That would be a great help. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪

I really love your videos and the results are incredible

Wow ! Just wow !! I absolutely love it ! I am so inspired, thank you so much for sharing your talent !

The nice thing about the drum sander thing is that when you eventually do get one, it's going to seem like Heaven. Take it from someone who used to flatten end-grain boards like you do. lol

Nice to see someone from home. Your space is HUGE (I’ve the opposite problem, all the tools, no room).

2 thumbs up for not being yet another clickbait video. Absolutely love your videos and find it enjoyable to watch and learn!

Good job Ryan, thanks for sharing.

Great work keep it up! I just made my 3rd end grain cutting board over the weekend

Ridiculously time consuming . . . and worth every damn minute. Outstanding. Fan-freaking-tastic!

Sheer class

Wow, I love the colors !

love the vids man...keep it up anyone who watches these dont care its long. thats what skipping is for when your looking for specific part. I watched the table video and its was crazy amazing. keep them coming

Another excellent video top job mate ignore the negative comments

Perfect

Ridiculously beautiful! :D

Wow, I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

I love the design and your creativity!

Superb, Theresa lot of time in that with all the glue ups etc. Thanks for sharing. Love the space in your shop and the wheeled bench is great to move from machine to machine. Andy UK

Думала он никогда не остановится , так и будет клеить- пилить, клеить- пилить... Сколько времени человек убил на эти эксклюзивные доски?

So COOL

Pretty fearless with that Purpleheart dude.

Love it.👍

You did a wonderful job, I was very impressed.

Beautiful, I love watching you create

now its mostly wood glue lol Looks amazing

I realize I'm two years late, but good stuff and I hope two years of fatherhood have been fantastic! I'm intrigued by your branded "signature"... is it Arabic?

Действительно круто

So jealous of your shop size

Great stuff Ryan. Can you do a video or explain in your next one about your little glue up rig there with the pipe on top of the lumber

Wow, just wow! thanks for sharing. That's the best cutting I ever saw, I hope I can get there one day.

I love your work and I can’t tell you how jealous I am of the space you have to create in. Great job on the video. Cheers from Toronto

Well, I can see that you have to use the bandsaw for some of your cuts. Bandsaws have terrible infeed and outfeed tables, okay, they don't have any. If you can figure out how to extend the tracks, you could make a sliding table for straight enough cuts so that you don't need to run them on the jointer. Some of your cutting boards are too thick to do on the table saw. I was a production bowl turner for 25 or so years. My preferred finish is walnut oil, specifically from the Doctor's Woodshop in Oregon. Walnut oil will soak in and then cure and harden. Mineral oil provides almost no protection, and is pretty much gone shortly after you apply it. The walnut oils in the store are not the same thing. Worth looking into. Always had bad results with a belt sander, too much up and down. I do like your router with a planing bit on it. I know you can do that with a radial arm saw, and get a 3 inch wide bit, maybe bigger. I would want to square the board up and chamfer the edges a bit first. The drum sander is a nice addition, but the glue messes up your abrasives, unless you use the planer bit first. I did see the one where you did the cutting board out of the white oak wine barrel staves. There were visible lines, which may have been glue lines. If you run the boards through a drum sander before you glue them up, you get a much better fit than you can get with a saw blade edge/surface. Nice work!

Priceless masterpiece 👍

excellent

I got so distracted from your speech, even after skipping ahead twice, that I missed the beginning of the build lol, but I see you my wood working friend making it big on here in the wood working community sharing your ideas and growing the interest as a hobby for me and a hustle for your family. I’m gonna have to comeback and rewatch all over again too lol 😂 Thanks for showing us how to build your cutting board. Still so puzzling tho 🤔

allow me to say that first: MAZAL TOV! this is GOOD LUCK in Hebrew. second: this is by far one of the top three cutting board job i ever seen. well done

I’m jealous of all your stash.

That's pretty SICK !!!

The board is awesome!

Great video, congrats on the family. I did share and like on my Facebook page

Love your attitude. These are spectacular. And ... can't wait to see the video of that table!

That cutting board is so pretty I wouldn't want to use it for fear of ruining it!

Bravissimo 👍👍👍🇮🇹

This is amazing

Seriously, WTF is up with thumbs down? I mean, jealousy??? DAMN, this is some good stuff!

Amazing cutting board and congratulations on your 1st 👶

found your video through my youtube recommended and subscribed 5 minutes in! I'm not a woodworker myself (yet! maybe when i'm older/more income... too many creative hobbies and too little time as is) - but I always appreciate creativity and good design. the thumbnails and unique pieces drew me in, and it's nice to see someone chatting about their process in a thoughtful and down to earth manner. maybe i'm in the minority but i don't mind longer videos - a video should be as long as it needs to be for the project. i do appreciate that you're considerate of our time and your explanations were clear, kinda makes me curious what your previous job was... don't worry about the filmmaking, you will find your groove over time :) if I can offer some suggestions though - for your process, I would just say 1) think about subtitle placement when framing your shots and 2) when filming, focus on what actions or things to capture are relevant to the narrative of your process. i have found that very helpful when shooting with minimal planning, or when getting b-roll.

Excellent!! Nice work!

Ok. You earned my sub with this one. Beautiful work! Best wishes on becoming a family man.

Love your content! Can't wait to see you up amongst all the other woodworking "all-stars".

This board is WILD!!! I love it! The one with the juice grove must be up in the $500 range? Keep up the good work, you've earned my subscription!

Out freaking standing.

Цвет симпатичный, но как по мне дубовая доска с гастроемкостью 40х30 это самое лучшее, а все остальное это от избытка денег. У нас в России такую можно было купить 11.11.2023 года за 25$ . А покупать такую доску из разных пород древесины с разной влажностью за 1000$ и потом она пойдет трещинами- это сомнительное удовольствие. Если хотите вкусно готовить и чтобы ваш нож был максимально острый, то 40х30 дубовая торцевая-это ваш выбор!

Super work

It's nice that you've some three guitars and two amps in the background ...! ;)

sick!

I’ve watched tones of your videos! You’re really excellent Ryan! I love your setup and the glue up table! now for a drying rack to hang your pipe clamps while the glue sets and you can get air circulation all around.

You are amazing, love your channel, thank you

Holy crap I'm excited to see the table build video.

I would love to be your glue supplier! 😆😆😆

its the 💣

Love watching yer videos keep up the awesome work!! Ya keep inspiring me to make a cutting board of my own I've always wanted to!!

Me encanta...

Wow! It started to look like you were losing all the purpleheart, but it certainly shows in that final configuration! Amazing work (I just found your channel last night!) And you have, sir, chosen a very classy maker's mark -- the meaning suits your hopeful attitude in these weird times in which we find ourselves!

ill watch 30 mins of you build kool stuff any day

i like your glue up rails. easy clamp area. i will build some like this. thanks

beautiful work

I really really love these cutting boards. I bet they will be super fun and entertaining to make. If I sell cutting boards like this people, or my friends or family members I bet they would really love these type of art cutting boards, and I would definitely make a lot of money if I sell a ton of them. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Thanks for the amazing content.

That is a beautiful piece job well done 👍🏽

Fantastic

Awesome work, very dedicated, bought the plans from MTM, just haven’t tried yet , thanks for the inspiration.

Not crazy about the end result, but other people do like it. For the work you put into this, I'd prefer designs that give you patterns. Good on you though
