Great job! I Have the same plainer and it works well with shallow passes on end grain.

Another great video! Thank you for the detailed steps! What jointer model is that? Do you like it?

@FireflyWoodworking

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I use the Wahuda 10” bench top jointer. (They also have a 6” and 8” version). This is my first jointer and I have loved using it. It was really easy to set up. It’s light enough I can pick it up and move it if needed. It has spiral cutterheads which is awesome for a bench top version. The dust port works well with my shop vac without overwhelming it. So far the bed length has suited my needs. If I move into doing large projects like tables I’ll probably need something with a longer bed but I don’t have plans to upgrade any time soon. I would call this a great beginner tool bordering on intermediate tool.

Amazing board! Beautifully done. Do you recall what length you cut your initial boards to before doing the 45° cut?

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. The boards were cut to 24 inches. Hope that helps you if you decide to make this design. Clients love this board.

Absolutely stunning board. If using 3/4 inch thickness wood, are there any adjustments in method (at table saw) that need to be made?

@FireflyWoodworking

Жыл бұрын

Potentially no adjustments (other than height if the blade) would need to be made depending on the end effect you want to achieve. If you want to have this big graphic pattern like I’ve made the end grain pieces are just under 2” squares. If you used 3/4” wood and follow what I did you would end up with 3/4” squares which would look awesome but take alot more pieces to get an 18” board. You could laminate the 3/4” boards and make 1.5” boards and then the end result would have 1.5” squares. Ultimately if your boards are 3/4” the directions still work it will just be a smaller pattern. This was a great question! Thank you for taking the time to watch. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions when making this design.

Nice board and music as a suggestion provide more detail in your measurements. All you said was 8 quarters and little else on length or dimensions

@FireflyWoodworking

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Great idea. More and more with my boards I find that other than the first dimensions I don’t really measure a lot. I just mill the boards the same thickness which can definitely vary depending on defects in the boards and then I use that as a reference and make things into squares. But I will definitely add more commentary on this is the future!

I actually needed 5 of the sapele/maple boards to make all of those triangle pieces. The first three I used to get two 8” pieces (so 6 pieces total) and the next two I used to get the 4” pieces. I tried not to be too repetitive in the video, otherwise it gets boring to watch.

At ~5:00 minutes you cut boards. How long is each piece? Also, do you just use one "strip" from each board?

@FireflyWoodworking

Жыл бұрын

The boards started at 24” and then I made the triangles. Those were also 24”. I needed 2 of these in Padauk and 5 of these in sapele. (About the 5 minute mark) Once I had the triangle pieces I cut those into lengths for the edge grain boards. I cut the Padauk / maple triangles into 4”lengths (about the 5:40 minute mark) and I made 6 of those. Then I cut the sapele/ maple triangles into 4” lengths and again made 6 of these. Finally I made 8” lengths (about the 5:30 minute mark) of the sapele maple boards and here I also made 6 of these. I used those shorter triangle pieces to make the edge grain boards - the first board is made of the 4” pieces in this order sapele, 4 Padauk, sapele. The second board is made of the 4” pieces in this order 2 sapele, 2 Padauk and 2 sapele. The final board is made of the 8” sapele pieces (all 6 of them). If you pause the video at 6:04 you can see this in detail. I hope that helps you!

I typically charge at least $150 for end grain boards (depending on the size). You can find prices for all my boards on my website fireflywoodworking.com

You do not need to wait 24 hours after every glue up you do... or maybe it's just being lazy, don't know which...killed me every time I heard left it over night or 24 hours... so this project took you like 10 days when you could have finished in only 2 max... buttttt awesome work turned out real nice 👍 👌 👏
