Custom Cutting Board - Project
Hey everyone! I just completed a really simple and fun project that is going to make a great gift. I did it all with this great little desktop saw. I have put together a video to demonstrate all the steps. I bought the cutting board from Home Depot for $7.99. Alright, lets get to work.
Things You Will Need...
- Cutting board - can be found at Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond
- Saw
- Sandpaper
- Wood glue - food safe
- 2 hours of time
Pick a Shape to Add to Your Cutting Board
Suggestion - keep it simple here. The more curves and corners, the tougher the project.
Fire the Wood Machine Up - Watch Those Fingers
Cut out the shap. Go slow and steady to minimize the sanding after.
Transfer Shape to Second Board
This is where the fun begins. Carefully trace your shape to the second board. Pay attention to the wood grain direction.
Time to Get Some Holiday Anger Out of Your System
I think this picture says it all.
After your shape is put in, clean the board and invite some friends over to enjoy some freshly sliced cheese.
CHEERS!
