  2. @kennethrutledge9222 on August 15, 2025 at 7:42 pm

    I love your band saw !! I can’t see the brand but I love the design !! It has the extra relief you need for tight spots!!

  3. @Shannon-v3r on August 15, 2025 at 7:48 pm

    Is the book ever going to be available again?

  4. @adamulias2315 on August 15, 2025 at 7:48 pm

  6. @deadwoodcastingturning on August 15, 2025 at 7:51 pm

    amazing design and i just ordered your books

  7. @ookiee1 on August 15, 2025 at 7:52 pm

    Sell those plans separately please

  8. @413DaveRN on August 15, 2025 at 7:53 pm

    So are we all going to make cutting boards for Dave’s mom?

  9. @Itsreallymarcus on August 15, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    Lol the cutting board market is incredibly saturated…

  10. @djb113 on August 15, 2025 at 8:01 pm

    Curious why/when you stopped using the dust cover brush with the blade guard on the table saw? Was the dust collection not effective or is it more about making the cut visible on camera?

  11. @lowcarbRD on August 15, 2025 at 8:01 pm

    that was probably the best in video promo I’ve seen a youtuber execute so far. Love how you just talked it whilst continuing to make the board. Well played.

  12. @JoshuaRes on August 15, 2025 at 8:01 pm

    ā€œCool focus broā€ 🤣

  13. @flywithraphael on August 15, 2025 at 8:02 pm

    When will the books be back in stock?

  14. @jennieanddavis on August 15, 2025 at 8:03 pm

    Ayeeee thanks for the shoutout! The amount of money available for cutting boards is truly mind-blowing.

    A few of our best strategies:
    – Find a niche, optimize your boards for that type of customer, and sell sell sell!

    – Talk to everyone you know about what you sell! You never know when someone’s cousin’s aunt’s brother is the State’s #2 producing Realtor looking for nicer closing gifts…

  15. @wildman4642 on August 15, 2025 at 8:06 pm

    What brand clamps are those?

  16. @Yggdrasilcreations on August 15, 2025 at 8:08 pm

    awesome board. Quick question. How much would you charge for that board?

  17. @kandiecandelaria3134 on August 15, 2025 at 8:10 pm

    Very nice thanks for sharing. How much do you sell them for? If you don’t mind

  18. @sebaferrari01 on August 15, 2025 at 8:13 pm

    Great video! Is there any way to get your book in digital format? šŸ’ŖšŸ»

  19. @daveb427 on August 15, 2025 at 8:14 pm

    I’ve made lots of cutting boards and butcher blocks over the past couple years. I just give them away to friends/family. Lots of people tell me I could sell them to make some money. I don’t think people realize how much the materials cost, and the time that goes into them, especially for the end-grain. Heck, they probably have no idea how much oil an unseasoned end grain butcher block soaks up. I doubt people would pay what I would have to charge to make it worthwhile as business. I know there are economies of scale making several at once, and the idea is somewhat intriguing, but so far I’ve discarded it as an idea to make some money.

  20. @Xanderbelle on August 15, 2025 at 8:14 pm

    Jennie and David talk up a good game..but…

  21. @daveb427 on August 15, 2025 at 8:15 pm

    Pinched finger tips under a heavy board can be pretty painful. I dropped a board a few inches onto the end of my finger tips once (before board was finished)… brought tears to my eyes. I usually route a finger pocket on the bottom at both ends but finishing them is extra time. The chamfered edge is an interesting alternative.

  22. @shughes599 on August 15, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    Great video. Thanks for the tips and encouragement.

  23. @squeedum4893 on August 15, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    Dang, I haven’t been here in a minute. The lack of beard was a shock!

  24. @tonymartin3738 on August 15, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    That’s the hardwood dealer I shop at for my hardwoods!!!! They are awesome and reasonable. Enjoy the cutting board videos

  25. @jimanddeb on August 15, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    I’d already sung "Sand in the place where you live" before I heard it in the video & was about to terribly disappointed you didn’t edit it in. Thanks for the lack of disappointment!

  26. @corpsman97 on August 15, 2025 at 8:17 pm

    Awesome, great board, great song, and a new logo I see. I dig it, or I make it, lol

  27. @jakethesnake9528 on August 15, 2025 at 8:19 pm

    Do you not raise the grain of the wood before finishing because of the type of wood you used?

  28. @TheNewports on August 15, 2025 at 8:19 pm

    Do you have a brood of minions keeping that area behind you so tidy while filming?
    lol

  29. @rwm1980 on August 15, 2025 at 8:19 pm

    damn dude your like a damn genius

  30. @TheNewJankyWorkshop on August 15, 2025 at 8:19 pm

    Love this take on a cutting board style.

  31. @sugarglidermomma8202 on August 15, 2025 at 8:20 pm

    Hello David. My bf had this video on hold for me to watch and I was shocked to see the building I realize ā€œKencraftā€. Me and my bf r from Toledo area. I was at Kencraft couple weeks ago I was very pleased with the price of the wood. Next time, I stopped in there I hope to see u. Great video.

  32. @hansangb on August 15, 2025 at 8:20 pm

    @9:05 Wait..You turned your miter gauge around? Huh. I guess as long as you press against it. Interesting. I’m sitting here thinking "Why didn’t I think of that??"

  33. @TimsBitsnPieces on August 15, 2025 at 8:21 pm

    I soo love this cutting board.. I want to make some but just have not got to doing them yet… this gives me ideas and possibly the urge to make some sooner than later..

  34. @mikeincinci on August 15, 2025 at 8:23 pm

    Your delivery is the best: Informative, easy to listen to and nice production values.

  35. @TheEdsousa on August 15, 2025 at 8:24 pm

    Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful

  36. @anointedrj on August 15, 2025 at 8:27 pm

    Where do I buy the book?

  37. @MixingGBP on August 15, 2025 at 8:28 pm

    5:44. Why don’t you get a dowel making jig and make your own dowels? You could have used the maple dowels in that walnut end.

  38. @BronkBuilt on August 15, 2025 at 8:29 pm

    Board looks great. Thanks for writing the book. I used it for inspiration for my first board.

  39. @Gazman299 on August 15, 2025 at 8:30 pm

    I would say that it’s best to stay away from optical illusion cutting boards unless they’re for a wall hanger art piece; for obvious reasons. That’s why Mum still has all of her fingers.

    Just kidding. Your Mum thinks that everything that you do is a work of art, so using it would be damaging it, and I agree with Mum on this.

  40. @KevBossche on August 15, 2025 at 8:31 pm

    I recently made my first end grain cutting board, but it wobbles. Can’t seem to figure out howto fix this, sanding doesn’t seem to affect it. Maybe with some feet that allow me to install then a bit off?

  41. @crobles13 on August 15, 2025 at 8:32 pm

    i saw your book at woodcraft here in houston and i was like " oh i have to get this like right now". lots of awesome ideas in your book.

  42. @shoey64 on August 15, 2025 at 8:35 pm

    Not everyone can afford that wood. I know from personal experience it costs a pretty penny. Just saying. Great video my woodworking brother.

  43. @dbnoho on August 15, 2025 at 8:35 pm

    I like this. I’d like to use a mortising bit to cut a square then toss in square dowels. Just to use square dowels and skip a step.

  44. @danielpreilly77 on August 15, 2025 at 8:37 pm

    Solid demo, really appreciate the tip about wood movement, something I am aware of but don’t really understand. Also brah, really appreciate the positive message to encourage people to start something new, I’ve always wanted to give exhibiting and selling at craft fairs a shot, but never have tried. Cheers. šŸ¤œāš”ļøšŸ¤›

  45. @oscrfsh on August 15, 2025 at 8:38 pm

    I see those feet are from the orange box store. Are those stainless screws. I always swap them out cause I don’t see it say stainless

  46. @mikemccabe2758 on August 15, 2025 at 8:39 pm

    I will be getting your cutting board book for Christmas

  47. @dennisb6397 on August 15, 2025 at 8:40 pm

    Awesome project! I don’t see in your video how wide you made the breadboard ends. Looks to be about 3 inches possibly?

  48. @grant8653 on August 15, 2025 at 8:40 pm

    Why stop there? Wooden veggie knives, wooden tongs, wooden spoons salad forks wooden bowls. Don’t need a lathe just an Angle grinder. All in matching woods? Great video BTW

  49. @kp.co.6074 on August 15, 2025 at 8:40 pm

    I made some pretty good cash doing custom orders on edge grain cutting boards. I don’t even have a table saw but I was able to do it all with my bandsaw and plainer.

  50. @stumptownwoodworks on August 15, 2025 at 8:41 pm

    Anyone that can actually make cutting boards and make real money I applaud. Finding something that makes your boards unique or different from the heard is key and the right market.
    That said, many people ‘think’ they are making money just because they sold it for more than the cost of materials and a bottle of glue. And as a hobby that’s great for some extra money for your own projects. But as an actual business you need to take into account overhead, consumables, wear items on tools, an hourly wage for yourself, and a margin for the business…then you’ll ‘actually’ be making money.
