Cutting boards.

Steve, I'm late as usual, but those look great! Nice work. I'm completely untalented when it comes to woodwork, much respect.

Thanks Mike!

I bought a Ryobi 600-E back in 1992 . 3 1/2 HP plunge . It sits in a table . The Bosch palm is a great tool . My others are vintage Craftsman 1/4 " 1 1/2 hp .

This new Bosch has the features of the Ryobi plus a changeable base .
$152 is a great price for that .

I have a antique craftsman in the garage somewhere! The skil 2.5 HP I have works great. And has both bases. Just for the hell of it. I bought a little 1 hp trim router from Temu. No bells or whistles by any means. I have it set up for rounding over the board edges. And it does that very well. 30.00 investment.

How's the end grain coming along?

As promised.

This thing is hideous. It's going in the fire pit. Learning lesson.

I kinda like it. Wouldn't have to worry about cut and chop marks. How big is it?

Take a breath . Do NOT toss that . Just walk away . Come back to it later .

I have one going right now . Tried my best to ruin it yesterday , then fixed it , and I'll be damned 2 bad cuts this morning on a finger grab made me turn off the light and walk away .

 

[chopsaw]

I kinda like it.

Yup . Nothin wrong with that .
Steve , run the edge , put a juice groove in it , and oil it up . That will bring it to life for sure .

12x12x 1 3/4" A smidge smaller when I trim and finish.

Sorry for laughing. But, I've been there before too!

I'll do that. And add the finish to see how she looks. I still haven't gotten around to get a jig for juice grooves yet.

 

[chopsaw]

Don't be . I'm currently making a plan . 12 oz. at a time .
Ended up with a bad margin on the one end . Had to cut it off , and remake another 2 sections , and glue that back on .

Then I had a bad router moment on the bottom . I'll fix it tomorrow when no one else is home .
Remember it's not F'd up if you can fix it .

Skip the juice groove for now . run the edge and oil it . I'll pop and start to grow on ya .
