After building a lot of cutting boards I'm left with a lot of scraps which I turn into more cutting boards. I walk you through my process on exactly how I do that and I give a time, cost and sales breakdown at the end.

Love your boards! Thanks for the clear walk through as I now have enough scraps to make one. As an art teacher of 20 years I can tell you I can tell you most people would rather look at an image that has a likeness to something as a posed to nothing (nonobjective art). Like music we can recognize catches our attention and when we hear new strange music we might say “that’s interesting”. acknowledging its novelty, but then move on and never think of it again. So here is my free idea for you from a fellow creator. In the middle of the chaos, boards have some shapes organized to create abstract recognizable forms ; animals, people, flowers, logos, almost anything to catch the eye. Or one has to look around the board to find the hidden things in the chaos. I think this added art-work will take it to the next level , sell for more and speed up sales. Cool idea?

I very much want to commend you on your work, but in particular that you use mainly time lapse in your videos, which is really nice. I still get to see what you do, and how you do it, but I also get to see the progress of your project so much faster. In many other videos, it's almost painful to wait for someone to get through a step in building something and it's obvious to the viewer what is going on, and not necessary to drag it out, thank you!

@nathanswoodcrafts 9 ай бұрын

Ryan I appreciate you explaining why you glue up both sides. I've experienced the same issue and have started gluing up both sides myself. It saves a lot of frustration later on. I'm really surprised you haven't invested in a drum sander. It's a game changer and you'll see a considerable reduction in your labor hours. They're worth the investment. The video turned out fantastic as usual. 💯🔥

Beautiful boards. The only people who truly appreciate the work and know that the price you are charging is reasonable is someone who makes them. I’ve had trouble getting ALOT less for not nearly labor intensive boards at craft fairs. I’ve also heard comments that they are cheaper at Hoobby Lobby-which in turns makes my blood boil. But I just smile and say thank for stopping by and have a nice day.

@deeeeeds 9 ай бұрын

I'm really amazed that you're able to get good glue joints straight from the planer. I have a very similar planer (different brand) and even with hours of fiddling with all the table adjustments, I still get crazy snipe on anything I pass through without a sacrificial board. Maybe I've just set something up incorrectly or maybe mine is just that much worse though.

as a person with a workshop, who keeps every single little scrap to repurpose, i think there is something to be said for making art from what would usually go in a land fill. it definitely tends to be more labor intensive, but its just a good thing to do in general. it makes it special, and i think these boards are very special!
