Wouldn’t call it a failure, I would call it learning curve achievement. Next time u choose to do this pattern u will know what u need to do to make it look perfect. Regardless, I think it’s a pretty cool cutting board.

Wow its very nice and helpful..

Tolle Werkstatt, schön sind auch die Fenster, Tageslicht! Viel spass, liebe Gruße aus Holland

One of those where only the maker sees the mistakes! Looks good, nice one. Hate to be the comment guy, but aren't gloves (cut proof or not) a no no for fast spinny machines?

Beautiful work.

THANK YOU !

Beautiful!

Beautiful design. Thank you for the video.

Not a fail in my opinion! Great job.

Take the time and trouble to read thoroughly the Wikipedia entry for 'wenge'. If you have a scintilla of morality you will stop using it and any other tropical hardwoods.

Excelente trabalho os meus parabéns.

Very impressive! As you said, that’s a very intricate pattern to get absolutely perfect. Many, many cuts, and with the slightest variation in angle or length is going to show. But even with all that, I think it came out extremely well. I’m sure it was definitely a learning experience and a second one would come out even better. I admire your patience and persistence!

Very ambitious. And watching your technique I think I would have had to use repeatable accurate methods of cutting each component and not put it on the dish sander, which would result in all of the components being less than exact. Once you develop a method to cut the individual pieces repeatedly, then it’s just a matter of cutting those pieces so that they fit together. The sanding of the individual pieces can’t be regulated to produce repeatable accuracy. I did love your attitude, though in that the end result was still stunning. You have definitely inspired me to attemptthis pattern as well.

Beautiful! Well done

Great job, you definitely put in the work. The end result looks awesome to a layman like myself

I takes me hat off to you for that cutting board, nothing short of brilliant, I have the time but not the patience to create a board so good. I make lots of end grain boards, but i let them design themselves, depending on what wood i have available. The people i give them too all seem pleased. Cheers and remember practice makes progress, never perfect.

Good try mate! I think it came out well. Practicing perfect, makes perfect. Keep up the good work.

It is gorgeous. No glue!

thanks for sharing. Definitely will try this.

Great tip!

Nice and easy. I will do this immediately on mine. Thanks for the great tip. Good luck with your site.

Invest in French curves for the legs and make a 1/4 template, I’m sure that will heighten your skills😊great job!

I think the point of the more overly built systems is that they will last for a long time and hold true and flaten perfectly. That setup while it is a great idea and super useful will most definitely give you the same results ..... for a couple times anyway. Then after that there is no way that system will be perfectly level when you have so many variables with how it is constructed. I believe quick and dirty would be the term. Crude but useful setup. Use it and throw it out after a project or 2 . Still a good Idea but not spending any money on it doesn't really matter when you will have to build a new one every few boards you build.

Brilliant.

What bit is on the router

What tool did you use to clean up the through mortise you made at the3:15 Mark of the video?

😂very complicated u would rather summon you to make me one hard wood white oak black wood yellow hart

Kumiko, Asanoha, Goma, and Sakura are all Japanese words 😭

Wonderful work!

Perfect

Wow, so coool

Too many gaps.

thanks for sharing..my interest is mainly the base plate for the kumiko.seems like a very useful tool.

Good job

Had to love the so called “chinory”!

I would have expected the wedge side of mortice to be a little wider giving room for the wedges to expand that side of the tenon wider than the other side of the mortice. If you ever see a wedge in axe head, the opening for the handle in axe head is hourglass shaped to get that effect.

A lot of work really nice job, thanks for sharing !

Well done Martin

Hi Martin, really enjoyed the technical nature of the build, I love Japanese joinery, do you have a plan for the two jigs you made? the ones for the angled joints with magnets? I have subscribed and liked this video. Thanks Jim

Another well done project, by the man of many talents.

yes i think your hands tech is so good nice,and that's locked is live,that's mean like locked it's can remove it a was as it,you need next learn more caus wooden working it's no as the end,the all live it's learning

Amazing thanks for sharing. What book are you working off of?

Thank you, these really are a very interesting set of videos. When I am able I am looking to try some of this joinery myself. More interesting than floating tenons.

Realy great stuff! Respect to You! Thank You for the show!

Looks great Martin and really pleased to see you still have a passion for carpentry! Best wishes and hopefully catch up again if you are ever back in the UK.

this is lovely!

Nicely done Martin...another mountain scaled.....when does it ever end !
