About: I enjoy tinkering life. Most of my videos come from a place of necessity. I have have no idea what comes next - we will have to wait to see.

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.

Step 1: Things You Will Need...

  1. Cutting board - can be found at Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond
  2. Saw
  3. Sandpaper
  4. Wood glue - food safe
  5. 2 hours of time

Step 2: Pick a Shape to Add to Your Cutting Board

Suggestion - keep it simple here. The more curves and corners, the tougher the project.

Step 3: Fire the Wood Machine Up - Watch Those Fingers

Cut out the shap. Go slow and steady to minimize the sanding after.

Step 4: 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.

Step 5: 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!
