I know you're just joking but for anyone curious about the actual ratio it's closer to 90% (by volume). Hexagonally packed circles cover about 90.69% of an area. The exact formula (assuming no squishing of the wood) to calculate the fraction of circles within a given area is: (π√3)/6 ≈ 0.9096 With the wood being squished together, I'd guess the board is likely closer to 95% wood.

@@ChazAllenUK "And hence less circular?" Yes. They become closer to a hexagon in shape. Perfect hexagons don't leave any gaps. The packing ratio of the bamboo skews is likely better than the ratio for cylinders since they're squished into hexagonal shapes. At 5:20 they look more like hexagons than circles.

I just finished making one of these for myself. Used supermarket-bought skewers, and they were a lot thinner than the ones in the video. Board was also a little bigger. Ended up using 4,500+ full skewers, each cut into 5 pieces, for a total of 22,000+ pieces. Took several weeks to get it all done, but totally worth it. Looks great, very solid. Would recommend that if you do this that you use thick skewers, and more glue than you think. It was a little bit flexible before I put the edging on.

Oh man! That is cool! I would have never thought to use skewers like that. I guess it is just a cutting board kind of week. I put a cutting board video up on my channel this week, and so did April Wilkerson. ha

Very cool, Neil. You are a very patient man indeed.

I’ll say one thing old partner, you’ve got a sight more patience than I do. The project turned out real nice though

This is cool, could have done without the feet, use a tea-towel or whatever non-aussies call the drying cloth for your dishes and it will give the cutting board a non-slip effect.

That very last second close up shot of the board (cell structure? grain?) was cool!!!

Totally amazing concept for a chopping board. I’m impressed with your efforts on that!

Pretty good? Looks fantastic! I loved it, such patience! But the part with the glue mud was not that tasty for me at least xD Not sure I would enjoy being with my hands in such a mess. I know my project is called get hands dirty but I kinda like to have my hands clean but thoughtful :D

I think that it is great. Very unique.

that looks really cool

Great project and result. Persistence pays off!

I am watching this again, and hindsight is really king. I think I've come up with the method I would try. Take a large enough bundle, pour glue on them, pick them up again in upright position (easy when they're full side or at least longer), place bottom down on the the big form, clamp, cut the parts above the form's height with the hand saw (they still should be long enough that orienting them upright should still be easy), remove the clamp temporarily, put the cut off part back in front of the pieces you already got in there, repeat until you need more skewers/are done. Not sure if I am making sense here, but I think you get a picture what I am trying to describe.

Now that is SO cool!!! Thanks, Pask!

This is ludicrous and I love it.

I really enjoyed this a lot. I’m happy you showed the flaws and how you altered the plan/idea as problems arose. This seemed very therapeutic and I could see how an occupational therapist could implement this in their treatment plans. All in all well done and thanks for posting it.

That cutting board is off the chain. Great work.

I'll give you kudos for your dedication and "stick to it" determination. I would have chunked that project in the trash can after running into a few setbacks that you just brushed off like sawdust. Great job. You definitely earned that!
