Would be a cool blank for a guitar body.

Nice....I'm going to do a Chess Board like this and make Chessmen out of random nuts, bolts, Brass / Copper plumbing parts....Weird Checkers too

Lol I want to be visually disoriented while using a knife

I am another person who doesn't have any real woodworking (or resin) tools, and yet I watch this channel with great interest. A) Peter's personality is fun and entertaining, and B) it's fun to watch things being made, even if you don't want to make stuff yourself. I used to sit in my Grandfather's shop and watch him make stuff for hours. I learned to do some wood stuff, which is sufficient for my interests, but so far have never gotten into woodworking at this scale, myself. But I LOVE work... I can sit and watch it for hours! LOL And face it - this kind of content with real people doing real-world things is 100% more interesting than 95% of EVERYTHING that is on television, made by studio writers about fake people and fake personalities and fake(mean) humor, and fake values...

Nice job on this Peter, a very neat looking board. I like how you doubled it up, making it thicker.

Your multiple personalities are more than a little entertaining.

That is excellent. Is there anyone who doesn't love what happens when you put the oil on a piece of work? Best Wishes, Brendan.

these videos are ridiculously entertaining

if you'd been my shop teacher in junior high I might've actually enjoyed it

THAT is a beautiful cutting board! My husband and I laughed a lot at your clamp comment. It is so true and he is always telling me you can never have enough clamps in your shop! Thanks for sharing! Awesome job!

Love it, great job Peter. : )

A neat twist on this is to use strips of wood the thickness of your band-saw blade as a way to fill in the gaps in the curves. They make it easier to mate the two surfaces since they replace the amount of wood that's lost by the cutting process. Love this board and I'm going to try it myself!

a cutting board for a youtube woodworker is like a top 10 for a youtube gaming channel

as a needlecrafter, I can tell you that the "not enough fasteners" disease is mutual. we look at a pinned project and think "mmmm... just a couple more. just in case."

Now that's a great cutting board Peter....now you can feel a bit sick, before you taste the cooking! Great video mate. Take care Mike

If I had a job and some money I'd certainly be buying some of this stuff from you. I love this board, it's very unique and pretty.

Nice! Love the final product!

That's so cool! Great first cutting board....:)

I am in awe of your shop... So much organization and secret nerdy ness

Oh Peter your the best non- woodworking woodworker yet!

I was very confused at the lack of beer in the making of a "drunken cutting board". Aside from that, great project.

That's one of the coolest cutting boards I've seen!! Your double does good work.

For Christmas my dad made my mom my sister and I piano cutting boards that were 3D looking. I think the plans are in maybe June or mays 2017 of woodworking mag. I grew up watching my dad make things like this. I have 3 cutting boards that my dad made ice cream scoop bread knife wine cork screw and what he calls a mood maker which is a wood piece that slides onto the wine bottle then has 2 holes where the wine glasses slide into so u can carry it all together. I love ur videos.

Hey Peter, I don't know much about woodworking, but I do know some things about making cutting boards. A good tip, especially for non-end grain cutting boards, is to soak the board in water for 30 seconds and let it dry, then sand the board at your final grit, and repeat this two more times. When the boards get wet the grains are raised again. Also, you really wanna soak that mineral oil in unless your concerned about using a lot.

That's a mighty fine cutting board you made there Peter! I have yet to make one.

Would look nice in a block of epoxy :)

So, I got an idea from some of the other comments. I don't know anything about wood or epoxy or how things might splat spectacularly, but it would be cool if you did a drunken chess board, but instead of putting them together, put only the dark pieces on top of a piece of light wood and glue them down. Then, put the entire thing in a mold and pour epoxy into it. The clear epoxy in the holes with the light wood showing below would be the light squares, with the dark wood being, of course, the dark squares. And the idea to make the pieces out of random nuts and bolts would be incredible! Maybe to solve the problem of not being able to glue the strips together to make the second set of cuts, you could use more double-sided tape instead of glue. Or tape them down to a hunk of cardboard.

It's amazing how many different wood channels you can find

lol who else is here after he posted the drunken roller pin vid because you want to watch this one first

Am I the only one who got irritated by how he placed the boards onto each other?

Very cool design; whimsical, clever, beautiful.

Beautiful! I love it. Especially for your first attempt......but I had no doubt it would be stunning. Excellent job. I'm sure Mrs Brown will be happy to display this one in her kitchen. Cheers!

OK, I subscribed. Now, how do I order one of those ?

Thanks Peter...Lovethe project...I am forging a breadknife for a friend who then told me they wanted to get a cutting board as well....

I haven't made a chopping block since woodshop and totally forgot that technique thanks for the reminder great job

Do you need drunkenwood to make a drunken cutting board? Apparently not. I like that you doubled it up. It calmed my inner rage at the gluing of end grain.

This is really amazing. Makes me want to get into woodworking, just so I can make beautiful things like this. You're really talented. :3

i was about to make this for fun in my construction class because i finished making the bookshelf i made for the marks but i sadly got quarantined before i could finish it up, but when I did show this project to my teacher i used the thumbnail you made and he said it was beautiful, if only i could finish it to show how you have made me develop my skills on the bandsaw

That is the most interesting cutting board I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot on youtube. A lot of great patterns, but this one stands apart. The title says it all.

I really like it. And it's great that you can just pass it through the planer in a few years, since it isn't end-grain. Also less sanding ;)

that cutting board is awesome

I'm REALLY envious about your shop.

Groovy baby! The pattern reminds me of Laugh-in for some reason lol.

What's the officer problem? *passes out*

If I may ask, what prompted the arguments with yourself?

Now there are cutting boards, but this is a real conversation starter. I love the polished yet organic look.

Glad you glued the two large pieces together! Don't take this the wrong way, but for some reason the pattern is you! Woodworking with a "twist" a haha.

The lack of HDPE or epoxy frightens me. Lol

Hi Sir.I have a question please! what is the glue name you used at 1:30 ?? thanks alot

Great cutting board. Just a thought on the blade drift issue. How about starting with slightly longer and wider stock, cut your curves with a router (maybe a 1/4 of an inch deep), band saw through the channels made by the router, then clean up both sides of the curves with a profile bit in a router. The channels made by the router will give you plenty of room for error on your cut and the profile bit should clean it up enough for gluing. Plus, your curves can't be anything but identical that way. Like I said, just a thought. I'm definitely going to make some of these! Great project and great video!

Nice cutting board Peter. I guess since everyone needs to do one of these, Maybe my next video I will try one. Thanks for sharing this.

Pretty stuff alright, but you forgot the cardinal rule for cutting boards- end grain surface!

It's great, but... it would have been better with epoxy.

This looks gorgeous. Thanks for the idea Peter!

The amount of clamps used during a glue up is directly proportional to the strength of that particular joint.

It was so great until you stuck the two finished boards together... Now they're not even aligned on the sides. 😔

*Squeaking breathing noise*

Ohhhh...I want one. I'm going to send this video to my Dad....maybe he'll make me one. Strong work, Peter

I make a checkered cutting board in woodshop for school and it turned out amazing! To even be qualified you had to have and A in the class (There were only 2). The other kid didnt put enough glue on his and when he ran it through the bandsaw to cut it across it exploded into a bunch of shards. My teacher taught me to soak the project then let it dry overnight, then sand it down the next morning before applying mineral oil. It allows to oil to soak into the wood better and it helps it last longer :)

Drunken chess board...Alice is having tea with the Mad Hatter on another rainy evening.

Jea, this Looks aweseome. Definitly gonna try this. Thanks for sharing, Peter!

This is easily my favourite project of yours.

Pretty darn good for your first cutting board. I am still waiting to make mine.

Absolutely awesome, if you ever made more of those I'd buy one.

Mark you did a AWESOME job. I'm going to try this .

Nice. I like the contrast. Well done.

Kind of surprised you didn't throw salt on top of it. Beautiful board! I wish I still had my first cutting board, I did a checker pattern the hard way. I glued every square individually together. This was before youtube was available, and I didn't know any woodworkers. I think I was 15 or so. Boy was that a tedious project. I know better now..... haha

G'day from Australia, awesome work mate giving me another idea for a cutting board and you're right you can never have enough clamps cheers mate keep up the good work

Hi Peter Great project and design! Thanks for sharing! All the best Bram.

aww the sound of screeching band saw being made to cut a curved line, brings me back to shop class with the super dull blades and drill presses that burned through wood instead of cutting through wood

Traditional Peter hit the mark on this one. Nice job! Beautiful wood!

Beautiful video, Peter. The board looks really great. If you concentrate on the board, it floats away. because the curves that you have cut. -D Would possibly be a nice gift.

That is awesome, great cutting board Peter.

I love this, and I think that gluing them together will make it stronger because otherwise you have glued end grain to end grain, which is not always a strong joint.

That is beautiful! I love the maple and walnut combination.

Made this in school for woodwork last year! Got an award for it too :D thanks a load mate!

Just catching up, keep forgetting to watch this one. I love how it turned out, unbelievable that it started as two flat boards! That's a great project, I'm going to have to try that out one of these days.

nice video footage of your first cutting board. Funny it's a first project / right of passage and you took it well. Last year I made nearly a dozen end-grain for my first boards ever and gave them as x-mas. I found a product called salad bowl finish that worked amazing (exp. for non-woodworkers to care for). Food grade after it cures, let it soak...fill a few gaps even.. it fills the pores with food grade...but you sand the surface off so moisture can't be trapped inside. All the perks of end-grain with a ton less upkeep.

Very nice job Peter. I've yet to make a cutting board but that one my peak my interest. Mark

Awesome cutting board, I've seen these before but I didn't know it was that simple to make them. Ill have to give it a try

your videos are super relaxing to watch, thank you for making them

That was a totally awesome project and you've got the neatest toys!

Hey Peter. It's your old buddy badwhiskey from Woodnet. Nice project!

this channel is so great. i just love it. idk. we all like you.

You are a real artist... now I'm jealous man!

Really cool. I have to try it with some of my exotic hardwoods (paduak, ebony, lacewood, etc.) to see what kind of patterns I could get.

I was told to stop saying "oh my god"...as l watch your videos....Because l love them. This cutting board is cool!!! Id kill to have a shed full of tools & equip like yours...I can dream on.....

I used that same cutting technique to make zebra rocking "horse" Christmas tree ornaments a long time ago.

FIRST, peter I get a kick out of your videos. Great job man! Can't wait to see more

Very cool, thanks for the video and great info.

This is my favorite project so far

Very cool, looks great. You should try make a bowl the same way, that could look nice,

No epoxy??? This is MADNESS! :) lol very beautiful cutting board, nice work!

Love the way you just go with the flow, what ever happens.. happens. -Steven

How dare KZfaq recommend this to me like I haven’t already watched it a million times

Really great looking chopping board Peter , just make sure you don't spoil it by cutting anything on it!!!!....... Keep up the good work . Trev

I love the effect that your double has created! I was a little concerned after the second series of cuts, where you then had to reglue them with only end-grain connected to more end-grain. But then doubling up the overall thickness was a great idea.

Great job Peter, looks really good, the mineral oil makes it pop, thanks for sharing take care, Harry

Thanks Peter! Great video as always. Makes me wish I didn't live in an apartment, and could have my own work-space.

Beautiful! Wood too! Hell of a job Peter 😁
