Cutting boards.

[Steve H]

I want to get one that would fit my green egg tabletop and use it in place of the existing insert. Do I just need to PM you the dims? I like to support the guys on here when I can and I think it would be a nice addition.

Yes! Please pm me the info. We can discuss this.

I might have a idea.

Tray and bowl bottom cutting bit . Template , and an oversize base .


I use it to do finger grabs , but easily adapted to do a prep tray .
Just have to have a template that matches the size of the tray .

I bought them to do these trays .

Yes! Please pm me the info. We can discuss this.

Will do! I will get the dims in the next couple days. Been working crazy hours!

Thanks! I've seen the bowl bits. Where did you get the oversized base?

 

[chopsaw]

oversized base?

I made that , but it's hard to find the right thickness and type .
Let me look through my Amazon stuff and I'll get the link .

You can also look at the big box store . Just be careful buying without seeing , because some of it is not rigid enough .

This is what I bought . I adapted my router table to the 12 X 12 size , so I can hang it in the table .

I've seen the templates.

I bought some templates , but ended up making my own from them . It's a bitch really . You need at least 3/4's on the template , and the bought ones are thin . Really need to hog out the middle area to use them . It's a messy SOB . Lol .

Lol! Ok. Thanks for the info. I do have some 1/4" lexan in the shed.

Hey @chopsaw I ordered these two bits:

Rockler Dish Carving Router Bit - 1-1/4" Dia x 1/2" H x 1/2" Shank

Make custom bowls and trays of all shapes and sizes with this bearing-guided Dish Carving Router Bit!

www.rockler.com

Rockler Rounded-Shoulder Juice Groove Router Bit

Specially-designed cutting board router bit creates a round-bottomed drainage groove flanked by precisely softened edges.

And I finally ordered a juice groove jig. Thought about making one. But went that route instead.

 

[chopsaw]

ordered these two bits:

Nice . Now depending on what you're going to do , you'll need a base that spans the mortise you want to do . I made one out of 3/4 " particle board . You'll need that thickness to catch the bearing . I'm using double stick tape to hold it in place .


Boy , I like that Juice groove bit . I'm using a cheap box core bit .
Doesn't make a good cut on the bottom , or that slight round over .
I'll need to get one of those .

finally ordered a juice groove jig.

Go to school with it , and practice !!

Multiple shallow cuts , and try to avoid the urge to go one more time .
" Maybe a bit deeper " turns into " dammit !"

Biggest thing is if the guide is on the outside of the cut , your direction is clockwise .

Guide to the inside of the cut , direction is counterclockwise .

I jumped on Amazon awhile back and bought a bunch of parts .


Made a leg taper jig for the tables I make , after I had a leg come off the saw and smoke me in the chest .
I can run this one one handed . Safe and no worries .

Currently working on a sub top with channels , so I can do setups for different things , like grooves .

Thanks @chopsaw. I didn't think about the template being 3/4" thick. Thanks for the tip!

Well, this was supposed to be for a customer.

Until I did the final glue ups. I then discovered that my back rest on the jointer was slightly out of 90 degrees. It is slight. But there. I'll keep it. And fix later.
I put brass feet on this one. Smart looking board otherthen my goof.

 

[Steve H]

Those look fantastic really nice work.The hardwood choices show, especially the walnut and cherry. Clean glue-ups, great grain, and I like that you’re using waterproof glue and finishing properly with multiple coats of Howard’s. The feet options are a nice touch too.
That larger board is especially impressive definitely the kind of piece that gets passed down. Congrats on the sale already, and best of luck with the rest. I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding buyers here. Keep posting pics as you finish more!

Thanks! This is actually one board. With two layers of wood. The customer saw one somewhere. And liked the effect. It is pretty cool.

 

[JckDanls 07]

With two layers of wood.

I was wondering why I didn't see the dark pieces on the back side...
