How To Make A Simple But Elegant Cutting Board

You all know I love to cook so I built my own custom cutting board.
I’m here with TheWoodGuy in J Mack’s shop. He’s away delivering a commission he just completed. We are also feeding his cat.

Martin allowed us to share the same url address. I searched for the message Martin sent James but I couldn’t find it. Pottz did
and posted it here. James sent me a screenshot of it.

It’s probably the only nice thing he’s ever done in his life and it was by accident. Ha ha ha!

I’m sorry I didn’t wear my signature gloves for my many fans that expect to see them. But they seem to trigger some of the less stable members.

I’ll experiment here and we’ll see what happens with this project.



The glue up. 
Here’s the stainless steel rod I purchased and the 8” long drill bit I used to drill the hole through the handle.
The handle was routed with a 3/8” round over bit and I bent the rod by putting it in a drilled hole and hammering it to a 90 degree angle. 
It wasn’t a perfect angle so I called TheWoodGuy over. He so much better than I am working with metal. 
Hi it’s TheWoodGuy. I cut a sacrificial piece left over from the handle, placed it over the rod and the handle and sprayed it with water and heated until it turned red. I hit it with a hammer until it was a perfect 90 degrees. I then used a chisel to break off the sacrificial piece.

DrQuackner should have done this 
with the first angle. 
Hi it’s DrQuackner. I’m back. Yup. TheWoodGuy is right. I should have done it that way in the first place. 

I then drilled holes down through the top of the board. I used a forstner bit to expose the holes that were drilled down from the top.     

Filling the holes over half way with clear epoxy. I hammered in the 3/8” plugs I made into the holes. The force of hitting in the plugs caused the epoxy up through the holes from the top. 


I used a plane to cut down the plugs. 
I smoothed down the plugs with an orbital sander.
Then I put on several coats of tung oil.

I should have called the board a prototype because of the mismatched bends in the stainless steel rod. And the misaligned wooden plugs. I’ll get it right next time.

Thanks for taking the time out from your busy day to view my project.

Nice comments are always appreciated. Except for those by Pottz and Rich and maybe Steve and Moke. And the others you know who you are. They can say whatever they want because no one can stop them. They can’t help themselves.
They must have Tourettes Syndrome. 
Ha ha ha!

Thank you Pottz we share the same computer. I’m glad you let some steam off. I expect this from you. I’m so glad I can help you. 

If there are others I can help let me know?

Dr. Quackner

it's not about letting steam off it's about letting people know what bat shit crazy you are as a good friend of mine said ! do you really think this shit is funny anymore ?

I’m Glad you’re letting more steam off. Is there anyway I can help you?

Pottz I do wish you wouldn’t comment on my projects it makers others members afraid to post on my projects. Because for some pathetic reason they obey you. They are your slavers and suck your nuts and like it. 
They’re all on your patio sucking you nuts. 
Not me.
You never tell me now great my projects are you only slander me. 

Dr. Quackner

If being a master troll is your life’s goal; dude, you’re there.  In spades.

If building a piece of shit cutting board and posting dog shit recipes is what you want to achieve, stop right there; you’ve arrived.

You’ve achieved the unattainable!!

P.S. Please post screen shots of this all over the forum, so everyone will know what an incredibly awesome dude you are.

Rich I expected this from you. If I can help you in any way let me know. I’m glad I helped you let off some steam. If there is anything I can help you with let me know. 
If you’re not a good person we can weed  you out. Be nice. 
I think you should contribute more projects like  me. And stop it with the trash.

Have you had your testosterone level checked lately?

That’s it Pottz and Rich. Get it off your chest. Blow off some steam. It’s not good to hold your hatred of me inside. 

You know hatred will eat you up inside and it’s not healthy. The stress from it will shorten your lives. At least your dog will miss you. Think about her. 

And Rich has to get back to his large repertoire of posted projects and I’m sure we will see many more from him?

Now we can all watch them blow off more steam on my project. 

Well thanks for the comments I guess.

Dr. Quackner

I was wondering Pottz and Rich. What if one of our members were struggling with mental health issues? Is this the way you would treat them?

Dr. Quackner

It's been a few moments since I read the "MASTER TROLL" comments, and I'm still LMAO, Rich calling the kettle black, talk about a NUT JOB, he maxes all comers.

I liked the board, looked like it was fun to make, and loved the crap PUTZ posted. It is good to see Martin is NOT easily triggered, and doesn't mind if you have more than one account.

Have fun Quack, James, Wood Guy, and I hadn't seen J Mack, but him too. I don't see any bloodshed, well except PUTZ crappin hisself bloody maybe? So I stand by no harm, no foul. 

To all of those triggered, take a freaking pill, and chill, or ya gonna burst a vessel somewhere......

Can’t do any better than a red herring?  You really are not too bright.

Thanks George. That was really funny. Got “us” laughing!  
George J Mack is my slang for James McIntyre. He sent me a screenshot of Martins Message. 
It’s really crowded over here. Lol 

Dumb and Dumber make me “us” laugh too. Ha ha ha!

I don’t know why others can’t enjoy my projects and not be afraid to comment. 
My projects aren’t so bad and my commentary does contain some humor. 


I’m certain this will trigger them. Let’s see what they’ll come up with next.

Dr. Quackner

the reason no one comments is because who wants to associate themself with a nut job, well except another nut job 😏

They don’t comment because they’re afraid of you. Except for 2 brave members. 
You’re like the Boss Hogg of Craftisian. 

Dr. Quackner

🤣yeah im a scary dude ! and you say brave, i say as nutty as you are.  let me ask you "james" why are you afraid to just be who you really are instead of hiding behind those other 3 aliases ? if you stop the nonsense people will come back, hell even i may come back. i dont hold grudges against anyone ! just be real, be james !

I wouldn’t have you back you PSYCHO!
Remember I fell for that before?
Once shame on you. Twice shame on me. 

I’ll tell you what you can do on your road to redemption. If there is such a path for you. Stop posting on my projects and my  forums etc

Dr. Quackner

Pottz you’re not listening to me. 
Go to bed and sleep it off. 
In this condition your not to be trusted.

You’re like a monkey on someone’s back. I don’t know how to get you off.

Any suggestions from members? Anyone!

Dr. Quackner
