One of my favorite woodworking projects is a butcher block end-grain cutting board. Im not sure if its the “back to basics” simplicity or just the fact that it is one of the most useful projects a woodworker can make, but something keeps bringing me back for more. A custom cutting board makes a great gift and many woodworkers make them in batches every Holiday Season. And if you are relatively new to woodworking, this is a great project to hone your milling, glue-up and tablesaw skills. In Part 1 of this two part series, we cover the preparation and construction of the board itself. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do.

how thick is a baseball bat? doing woodwork project have to make one.

most bats are slightly flared 1 1/16" handle, conventional knob, and a 2 7/16" to 2 9/16" barrel

The wood has been stripped and sanded. About 5% of the old paint/primer remains on the wood. Shouldn’t I use oil-based primer? Are there any oil-based primers besides the alcohol based (shellac) type (with stain sealer) I think I am supposed to use oil under oil, right?

Not necessarily. Benjamin Moore has come out with a new latex paint that was developed to have the same qualities as oil based, but without the hassles of oil. It is what they now recommend for your doors and woodwork, and even kitchen cabinets. As an interior designer, I always recommend Benjamin Moore paints for all projects. Costs a few dollars more per gallon, but ends up being less expensive because 1 coat is almost always enough. No other paint I have tried even comes close.
Find a dealer (they have a great website, and you can find the nearest store to you) and tell them what you need – they will give you exactly what you need for your project.

I know I’m asking to hear alot of common sense stuff but I’m trying to make a list of stuff my mom needs to bring me on her next trip up here. You name it and I bet it’s something found in my dads garage out back. So, yeah, all suggestions are welcome. Thanx!

Off the top of our heads, here’s simple start-up tool kit:

- Tape measure
- Steel ruler
- Some type of square – such as a try-square or combination square
- Hand saws – if possible, one with a back, one without and a coping saw
- Drill and drill bits
- Hammer and nail-set
- Clamps – as many as possible
- Wood glue
- Rasps and files
- Wood chisels
- Bench plane and/or block plane
- A place to work – a sturdy bench with a vise is best, but fold-up sawhorses and a piece of plywood will do in a pinch.

This is assuming you won’t have access to expensive, heavy woodworking machinery. Still, you can make an endless variety of great stuff with just these few "basics".

A woodworking book or two, and/or a little instruction to help you get started could make things much easier, if you don’t have a lot of experience.

Anyone know where I can get free (OK I’m cheap) woodworking plans online for making various pieces of furniture?

Thanks.
