Are Small Chopping Boards worth making - New improved Design

I'm new to woodworking. I wanted to say that this was a great tutorial, and I learned a lot in about 15 minutes. Thank you for posting this.

I am retiring from my career in the next year or two and have been making sawdust for decades. I have been considering making a small business out of my woodworking and this product fit in nicely with the "smalls" I would like in my inventory.
most of what I make now is too large and heavy for people to carry away from a street fair or flea market.
Thank you for the demonstration and the idea.

I really appreciate that you took the time to set up a jig and a process for this. I see so many people making multiples of something, and doing the layout on each one seperately- this drives me nuts! When I do batches (often), I do the layout *once*, and built a jig, fixture, or template that incorporates the layout. After that, all I have to do is cut my wood to the correct dimensions. I also enjoyed seeing you do what I call a "time study", so that you can see how long jobs are taking. I do the same thing on things I make often- it's very helpful to see where I need to shave time.

Such a great video and commentary! If I were a betting man, I would say you are or used to be a woodshop teacher given how you explained each and every step and your reason for doing so. I thoroughly enjoyed your technique and the video, and of course the outcome of the project. Thank you.

Darn, you actually got more routers than me. LOL...

Beautiful! When I was young those would have been multi use items...cutting, chopping, in the kitchen...and a disciplinary "stop running in and out slamming the screen door" training tool.

Thank you keeping it the old way. Love these! 🐝

A faster jig that doesn’t require moving the fence after every cut for cutting your thin strips would help shave off good time if cutting more then a handful of strips at a time. Basically similar thickness board to the one you would cut your strips from, glue (or screw 😅) a top cover over hanging the boards left side and a back strip over hanging the same side to push the strip through as you cut it. Then you can just set you fence the width on the board used for the jig + the width you want the strip to be. But the strip board against the jig board under the lip created by the cover. Push jig and block through to cut a strip. Then bring the jig and board back and repeat. I did this for making shims and it’s so quick and way less tedious. Great video and boards by the way 👍🏻

They turned out great! Awesome idea for the handles.

They look amazing! Nice to see a new nice looking , easy to make and profitable cutting board.

Yes they do sell. A CNC machine is quick. Time, cost to selling prices are worth it

I watch a TON of woodworking videos and want to start doing it myself. But my conclusion is, without the proper tools its not worth it or doable. Yes there are hacks/jigs and workarounds etc. But they do not give the proper/desired result to make a descent, consistent and profitable product/sale.

Nevertheless, great video and explanation how to approach and execute such tasks. So thank you for your effort!

They look great! I enjoyed seeing how you worked out the process. Thanks

Love these little boards. And the new design really is quite the difference. Just subscribed.

They came out great! Amazing how you explained all details throughout, thank you!

- VERY unique, clever designs. Thanx 4 sharing.

Very nice, I might over engineer them by cutting rebates or biscuit joints to reinforce the handle. Possibly easier to template cut on a router table & then roundover on Router table again .
Another option to recess 1 face 1/2" as a nibbles tray, other side as a cutting board.

The new version looks brilliant thankyou for the tips and video

Amazing job

I like your work mate, it's good to actually have an English man to watch and listen to
What Finnish do you put on your boards 👍👍👍👏👏👏
