The Honeycomb Cutting Board

Published 2022-01-31
Follow along as I create and give detailed instructions on this uniquely patterned cutting board. This honeycomb or hexagon pattern is a real head turner. I'll be using hard maple and walnut, make a few jigs, and point out some things I'd change along the way.

    I am a machinist, not a woodworker so much but I very much enjoy watching a craftsman at work. That being said your replies to all your comments is extremely impressive and seems would take as much time as the work you do. (thank for sharing your knowledge and abilities in a well presented manner)

    Beautiful. I'd never heard of the salt/sand trick before. Great idea.
  • @yasinkolgu
    Teaching something like this for free is amazing on itself.

    I've been playing bass for years and doing these things without even realizing it. Unfortunately, nobody ever explained it this way and I wish someone did. For someone just starting out, this may be the most valuable lesson you can get.

    You can't see me but I'm bowing to your greatness! Lol. Excellent job!

    In the thumb nail I thought you had cut hexagons then filled the gaps with epoxy but you really did this the hard way, it's a stunning result. You have a lot more patience than me πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
  • I'm so grateful for this not being just another epoxy build. Craftsmanship is getting rare with that thing.
  • @StoopendousMan
    Thanks so much for posting this well-produced video to document the process of making your fabulous cutting boards!
  • @billm4560
    That turned out awesome! πŸ‘πŸ» I really like the way you present your videos! Thanks for the tips too! I’ll have to give this one a try! 😊 Thank you for sharing!

    At 17:15 I almost screamed don't!!! It would have looked amazing with those honey comb edges, and a bit more unique than a square board
  • @garywink4383
    I HAVE RECENTLY WATCHED NUMEROUS CUTTING BOAD VIDEOS AND AS OTHERS HAVE SAID YOURS IS BY FAR THE BEST. I HOPE TO WATCH ANYTHING YOU HAVE ON THE TUBE TO LEARN WHAT I CAN. I AM PROBABLY TWICE YOUR AGE AND PLANNING TO MAKE SOME CUTTING BOARDS. I BUILD FURNITURE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN INTO THE CUTTING BOARD SCENE. THANKS BUNCHES. GARY
  • @DonsWoodies
    Really cool board. I had no clue how you did that until watching the video. Thank you for letting us all know how to do one. Also this should dispel any notion that the Ridgid 4512 can't be used for precise cuts. I had one for years, and found it able to do anything I ever asked of it.
  • @daveweaver697
    I really like the way you explained every step of your procedure during the presentation. Job well done.
  • @JD_Customs
    Salt in the glue ?!?! ABSOLUTE GENIUS !!! Such a beautiful board, will be attempting for sure. Hopefully I’ll have results similar to this masterpiece!
  • Nothing appeals me more then hand made well thought creations. Bravo on this design. Hats off to u for all the patience and hard work. Great design. Absolute fire πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
  • Fantastic design and end product. Thank you for sharing the detail of how to do it including the jigs. Much appreciated. Richard J

    Very creative board, outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your talented work with us πŸ™πŸΌ
  • @night2beupzip
    Absolutely beautiful work and amazing craftsmanship! Your narration was to the point and not filled with useless fluff...thank you. Also, when you changed the camera angle on the glue up, it made the all the difference in understanding how the glue up worked. Keep up the great work and the videos.
  • @mrlong12u1
    Some will never understand the extensive process to this job, but I do! Beautiful!
  • I truly enjoyed watching you building this art piece. Every single cut and detail you put into it invited me to enjoy the all process. I'm not a woodworker expert but watching this video inspires me to improve my skills. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills.
