End Grain Cutting Boards
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I recently completed by first ever cutting boards. These were both made as gifts for two different weddings. They were both made with a combination of walnut, cherry, and hard maple. As these were my first cutting boards, I need some help coming up with design ideas. So, I experimented with several different designs using CBdesigner before settling on these.I used a combination of power and hand tools to complete these. As I don't have access to a planer, the most time consuming parts were flattening the boards after the first and second glue up. After the first glue up, I did all the flattening with a smoothing plane. Thankfully, I was able to use the end mill at my office to flatten the end grain after the second glue up. On the first board, I used a 3/4” straight bit which still took a really long time. When it was time to make the second board, I bit the bullet and ordered a 2” Whiteside spoilboard bit which made things go much much quicker. After a lot of sanding, I finished these with mineral oil applied daily for the first week. Final thickness ended up being ~1.5” with overall rough dimensions of 11” x 14”.These were a lot of fun to make, and hopefully they'll get a lot of use from the new families who received them. I got a lot of inspiration from all the other LJ cutting boards, so thank you!

Lathe and Buffer Stand
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I sold my 15×38 Craftsman lathe ( with the shelves under it) last weekend so I lost the machine I did my buffing on and also the storage for so many of the accessories for my Nova lathe. I decided to make a storage cabinet for all that stuff plus have a place to mount my HF mini lathe on and set it up for pens. I had this Grizzly knife buffer in my way on my regular workbench so I mounted it on the back of the stand for buffing. I have an adapter on it to accept my Beall buffing system.The cabinet is 19” x 31” x 36” high. It is made from plywood I had laying around and a laminate covered Steelcase top . I just had to buy the hinges and the casters. I put a shot of the caster that I bought on E bay.They are 3” and lock the wheel and the swivel with the one lever.I put a long cord on it and mounted 2 duplex outlets so I can plug in both machines and 2 other things if needed. I add 3 cord spools on it to keep the cords managed and out of the way. The doors have 4 – 10mm magnets mounted in them for closure. It is finished with gray latex enamel!Cheers, Jim
