Here are my first attempts at cutting boards (and glue ups ) the fourth picture and smallest board was my very first, as you can tell, I didn’t start with long enough material. This was my first experiment anyway. #2,3 and 4 are endgrain. Woods are mainly Maple, walnut and purpleheart, the experiment board has Hickory, and I know, not a good choice for cutting boards, but all I had at the time.
The feet in pic #5 work very well. They look like wood, they have grip pads on bottom and a stick on pad on top side. Another good thing about these is it gives you a little adjustment for boards that wabble a little. You can tighten the screw down more to compress the pad and shorten the leg a little. Not much adjustment, but sometimes it sure helps.
Thanks for looking and thanks to all that post their projects for others to get inspiration from.

I might have to try out these feet on one of my next boards.
Great looking boards, by the way!

I hate to sound like a novice, but I am…what are glue ups? The feet?

Scott,
I have been curious about these particular feet. How have them been holding up overall?
Have you gotten any rust from the screws that came with these feet? I made the mistake of using the non-stainless steel screws that came with the feet that I used on my first cutting board that I attached feet to. Now those screws have rusted a bit and I need to swap them out with stainless steel screws instead. I plan on going to Ace and simply matching the thread pitch and length of the original screws and simply swapping them out. Maybe you did that already though?

Can’t help you on the rust issue. All I have done so far since I found these feet have been gifts. A little variety store in the town I live in carries a bunch of different kinds. The good thing about these is they look like wood, and have a stick pad on them as well as the screw, also. they now have various sizes. I have been using the larger ones for cutting boards and the smaller ones for cheese slicing boards. If you use these make sure they are the gripper style, they also make these in these that have the glide bottoms on them.
Have your say...
