I called this a box but it is just a container for whatever you need it for. It is about 7.5" tall and will hold an object up to about 5.5" in diameter.

Second Pattern Today. Cutting Board

This is a simple and useful pattern. This small cutting board is 10.25" long and ~5.5" wide. You want to use a thick board at least 3/4" thick but 1" is better. You want the board to have a little weight to it.

You want to choose a hard, wood that has a dense grain. Maple, cherry, and beech all make nice cutting boards. Walnut will also work but it does tend to show knife marks.

Red oak and ash are poor choices because they have an open grain and will hold food particles.

Oil finishes are best for items that come in contact with food. Mineral oil and raw linseed oil are good choices. The truck is that almost all modern finishes are food safe after they have completely cured. The problem is that many people have grown accustomed to oil finishes and that is what they prefer.

DEWALT Planer, Thickness Planer, 13-Inch, 3 Knife for Larger Cuts, Two Speed 20,000 RPM Motor, Corded (DW735)


I have owned the DeWalt DW735 for several years. It has been a workhorse in my shop. As scroll saw users we use a lot of thin boards. This planer along with a decent band saw gives you the ability to prepare thin boards from rough lumber. That saves a ton of money over the long haul.

About this item

  • Powerful 15-AMP, 20,000 RPM motor (10,000 RPM cutter head speed) handles larger cuts in wider materials with ease
  • Three knife cutter-head delivers 30-percent longer knife life and makes knife change faster and easier
  • Two-speed gear box allows users to change feed speed to optimize cuts per inch at 96 or 179 CPI
  • Fan-assisted chip ejection vacuums chips off of the cutter head and exhausts them out of the machine
