I was looking for a way to build a cutting board without a planer. Never thought of using the nailer! Great idea!

[loricraig]

Great idea for someone without a planer, I'll be giving it a try. Your instructions are great.

[doublekkkids]

This video was exactly what i needed to see. Thanks.

[Resell_crazy]

That is so awesome how you used the nails...never thought of that before.thank you for sharing

[TimberWood.Customs]

Wow I’ve never heard of nailing cuttingboards! Super cool!

[tro]

Nice! I always like the look of a beautiful hardwood cutting board.

[royrunnings]

I did like the nailing part. Will have to try that.

[kenerickson]

Nailer is an interesting clamping method for a cutting board. I may try that.

❤ i don't think that I would have used brad nails but over all it looks really good I like the Finnish

0:55 - is it a good idea(proper procedure) to have your hand guiding the board passed the saw blade like that? - not sure, i am new to this but it doesn't look right to me. does one need to do this or will the same results be achieved by leaving left hand closer to the body at a distance before the blade?(like the following cuts )

Beautiful cutting board. Can you build a large cutting board with a tray 20x15

[malcolmmeares]

Beautiful work mate when I sand my boards I start with a 60 grit and then 180, 240, 400, 600 and finally 1200 grit and between each sanding I wet it down with a little water comes up smooth as smooth can be and then one coat of grapeseed oil and a coat of beeswax and mineral oil mixture

[MrTokyoholmsey]

Great job. Was thinking of similar myself as never sure why anyone else not doing with the nails to help alignment etc.

Now you need to find a video for people with no planer and no nail gun

Excelente video y sobre todo la técnica, sin embargo me surge la duda de que los clavos se lleguen a oxidar con el tiempo y llegué a contaminar la tabla.
Me gustaría saber tu respuesta al respecto.

That turned out beautiful...the contrasting wood always pops so nicely, especially after applying the finish. How did it look with just the glue and nails? I was wondering if you needed to clamp it?

[HeatherWrightArt]

I have seen a lot of advice on woodworking videos NOT to use oak and/or poplar - have you found any problems with these woods in your cutting boards?

[Disagreeagree]

Your workbench would be perfect in my shop. Do you have blueprints i could use?

[claudeelliott]

Different approach! Looks like it worked out ell for you.

[sportsbank]

I use my nailer for this... just because I can't stand waiting for the wood to dry all the way HAHAHA
