Hi, welcome back to my shop. My name is Tim. A bunch of woodworkers on YouTube have gotten together and posed a challenge to make a kitchen utensil. I chose to make a nice cutting board, a little bit different style than what you would normally see, I guess. I went with kind of a chevron shape to it and I used some spulted maple, some cherry, some walnut, and some ash to do it. So come right along and I'll show you how I made it. Okay, now I'll let that dry. Okay, this has been drying for a few hours now. I'm going to get this out of the clamps. I have my miter gauge set to 15 degrees. I'm going to cut that and then I'm going to cut strips right on my fence. Because I cut them on a table saw, they're not going to be completely glue ready. So I'm going to have to take these strips and just lightly, lightly shave them on the joiner to actually join those edges so they can actually come together and see there are some gaps when I'm pushing them together. So I'm going to move on to the joiner and do some quick shaving and fitting. Nice, good tight joints. So we're going to go ahead and glue them up and I'm actually going to alternate them to give them a chevron style pattern. So I'll let it sit in the bin for about 15 minutes and get a good soak of mineral oil. Then I'll apply some beeswax mineral oil mixture to the surface of it. Then I'll let that dry and leave kind of a satin film on the outside that I'll put on the white ball little excess. Once again I like to thank you for watching my video. I really enjoyed making this. I think it came out beautiful and very pleased with this cutting board. I also am very happy to be involved with this challenge and I appreciate those that pose the challenge to the fellow woodworking community on YouTube. There are about 35 to 40 YouTube woodworkers that have been involved in this challenge. If you check out my description down below I've got a list of all of their channels and all their information on how you can actually get to their videos and check out their videos. Subscribe. They have some amazing work out there. The community is growing day by day and it's just really awesome to see. Also if you're not subscribed to my channel I invite you to subscribe and follow along with me. I will be having many more videos coming up in the near future. I plan to try to at least have a video out every couple weeks. That hasn't happened at the beginning of this year because we had an unexpected family member join up a little early. My wife was due in April and our baby girl showed up at the beginning of January so she ended up being 14 weeks early and she's been in the in the NICU. She's doing really well so it's going really good but still going to be a little while before she makes it back home and my wife is staying over there at the hospital. I'm going back and forth so I'm not getting a whole lot of time in the shop but I will pretty soon and I've actually got some stuff I need to build because of the baby being here. So one of those things look for in a future I'm building a crib. So a crib, baby gates and a few other different things so that's all coming. Keep an eye out like I said. Subscribe. Until then thanks for watching again. God bless.
