Like a few others, i thought you had lost your mind ripping after the first glue up. But once I understood why, i can see the genius in it. I never would have thought of it.
@MattMuirhead2 ай бұрын
lol. It’s definitely a little unorthodox, but when using thin stock or multiple thicknesses of lumber or even scrap, it saves a lot of waste. You can skip the step altogether by using 8/4 lumber and not making the initial panel… I will generally resaw lumber and then use the fall off box box bottoms and other small projects. Thanks for the comment… I promise I’m no crazy 😂

Amazing board! Someone help me understand the point of the initial glue up. Why not cut the boards to the strip width initially?
@MattMuirhead5 ай бұрын
This is explained in more detail in the plans, but that step is for people who aren’t started with 8/4 lumber. I created this walkthrough / method because a large percentage of weekend woodworkers only have access to 4/4 or 1” s4s lumber, so they won’t have the option to just resaw thicker lumber down to the thickness required. Personally. I skip the first step and resaw my lumber on the bandsaw and use the fall-off for box bottoms and other small projects. Though, even using 8/4 lumber, it’s still a feasible option if you are looking to reduce waste.

Matt, I am going to do this board and going to use 3 woods. 1 Walnut, 2 maple, 3 cherry. What is the materials list for each of woods. Your video only uses 2 woods so I am not sure how to easily figure it out for 3 woods
@MattMuirhead5 ай бұрын
The plans differentiate Wood 1, 2 and 3 to make using 3 species easy. Wood 1 is the main block, wood 2 is the thin strips and wood 3 are the small squares to fill the gaps.
@shininglighthomes90196 ай бұрын
I would have cut the stock into strips first, then milled it down. No jigs are needed.
@jamesmuhl99516 ай бұрын
for this board what lengths are you cutting to?
@MattMuirhead4 ай бұрын
This info is in the plans linked in the description, but I tend to cut extra to allow for more options when choosing my layout, just in case there are a few abnormalities in any of the blocks - so I tend to cut 26", give or take.

@MattMuirhead8 ай бұрын
Actually no, but this was a demonstration for people that don’t use 8/4 lumber. This process can be used with any thickness wood. If you use 8/4, it’s easier to resaw and then plane down to thickness. I explain that in pretty elaborate detail, especially in the plans.

What beautiful work you do! I don't know if you still check these comments or not but if you do, i wondered if you could tell me if you have to use a special blade when cutting brass? I cannot seem to find the answer anywhere on this glorious internet. Also, i hope you will start uploading again. Your videos/projects are incredible!

@MattMuirhead11 ай бұрын
Thanks - I had to go back and look at which tape I used. Haha. It’s just a cheap FastCap. Pretty sure the one you’re referring to is their flat tape which is great for these small projects and great for marking… but it’s only good to lie on flat surfaces. I use all fastcap tapes because they’re inexpensive enough to have one or two in every corner of the shop for when they inevitably hide from me 😂

Beautiful board and excellent explanation. Thanks for that. But please reconsider using a music track in the background. It adds nothing and is extremely annoying. I managed to put up with its monotonous drone for 5 minutes and then turned the sound off. I’m experienced enough with cutting board work to be pretty sure I didn’t miss anything, but no music at all would be so much better.

Ciao Matt. Scusami, ho scaricato i tuoi file questa notte. Non capisco il motivo dell'incollaggio intermedio. Perchè incolli i listelli insieme per poi tagliarli la seconda volta? Avevi già i listelli fatti...dopo averli piallati in squadro potevi incollare il ciliegio da 4mm...cosa mi sfugge? Ciao dall'Italia. Hi Matt. Sorry, I downloaded your files last night. I learning well, thanks. I don't understand the reason for the intermediate gluing. Why do you glue the strips together and then you cut them again the second time? You already had the strips done... after planing them and square you could have glued the 4mm cherry... what am I missing? Bye from Italy

You shouldn’t glue all four sides of the top and bottom panels it limits the expansion and contraction which can cause cracks.
