I’m Shane, I design and build modern furniture and other woodworking projects. The videos here focus on tips, tricks & how-tos, with a few dad jokes along the way.
Woodworking is my passion. I enjoy the hands-on approach that working with wood brings to the design world. I draw inspiration from many places, and I try my best to make elegant solutions to fill my needs. I am always learning to be a better craftsman and woodworker. This channel is designed to share my experiences and inspire others to join the craft.
I know that people are at different levels on their woodworking journey, so I try to tailor my content to help inspire both beginner and advanced woodworkers while having a fun at the same time. I hope to create a community of individuals who support makers and allow them to invest in themselves.
I hope you enjoy the content I share and that it gives you the confidence to go out and build something!

No! They use veneer because they can’t afford hardwood or they are trying to increase profit. Only fools prefer “consist grain” wrapped particle board over natural grained hardwood.
Swing and a miss.. The panels you see me making here are for shaker style doors, and having stable material like an MFD substrate and consistent grain is absolutely the way to go.
Using a veneered timber had nothing to do with costs and everything to do with it being more stable than solid wood. Even the greatest furniture manufacturers like Chippingdale used veneered timber. It’s the same reasoning used to make Japanese swords.
Yeah I've tried to refinish two antiques recently only to find well hidden veneer. Still refinished it just had to spend an extra few hours removing the veneer. It's so fun.
Safe, I know me and I know I’m not that good yet lol. Dude this is one of my favorite channels on RU-vid, your videos and your work is so inspiring and informative. This project is ridiculously detailed, in a good way. You have such a good eye for design, keep it up, you’re doing great!
Safe. I like having the extra pieces for future projects. Just built a lap desk for my gaming laptop. Got to make it out of Walnut and Maple with scrap pieces.
Thanks for sharing..your work process is most educational..If possible, might I inquire to the manufacturer of the crosscut sled you used? Not that my budget could manage, but my curiosity demands I ask..Again, thanks for the educational entertainment!
Thanks man! The jigsaw makes quick work for breaking down rough lumber and there’s no risk of kickback like you might get from a miter saw. Plus my miter saw lives under my outfeed table so it also saves my back haha
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks My preference would be a circular saw or track saw if the line mattered. Many roads to Dublin. Again, can't debate the results.
Awesome build man! Beautiful work! I just bought the same planer you have, but used. I’m coming from the 13” helical head grizzly. But this used 15” planer is giving me lines, not from the cutters, but the feed rollers or something. Did you have any issues with yours or have any tips?
Thank you! Yeah, I had a lot of trouble getting it all configured. I found a forum that talked about the settings. I tried finding it but I’m having no luck at the moment.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I was about to ask the same question about aligning the planer. I have the same model, watched a video on the 20 in unit. He used the specs from a Powermatic if I remember correctly. Do you remember which forum?
Safe, and as a result my garage has too many left over pieces... This is another amazing piece, your design aesthetic and attention to detail is very impressive. And of course your execution is top notch. Keep up the amazing work Shane.
I know nothing about wood working. But if I were to put so much effort into that 3 way miter joint, I would have champher those edges to show them off more, it's beautiful.
Nothing in this piece in chamfered so that would kinda odd. The chamfered edge would also pretty much make the joint vanish and take away from the focus.
Safe. That way I also have extra wood around for those projects the boss wants me to do and I can say "And I didn't even have to buy more wood, so it was cheaper than buying it." 🙂
nice work! for your rear panels, did they sit in a rabbet or were they friction fit flush? asking because im putting in a rear panel (1/2 BB) on a case, it actually wont be seen because on the interior theres another decorative element that covers it- so im debating just friction fitting it rather than using dados or rabbets.
Thanks! I rabbeted those back in part one. I have done friction fits on a few projects but I don't like that you can see light in the hairline gaps every now and then. If you have the option to rabbet them in I would go for it.
Great work with this one. Quick question. When you attach the top unit to the bottom, you seem to be using a domino and two metal dowels. Were all three holes plunged with a domino to allow for wood movement? Would you mind sharing the link for the dowels? Thanks!
Thanks! Yeah, that was all done in part one, here's the link to check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3g4Uhf_5SjA.html And here is the link to the connector hardware: amzn.to/3xlDXx0
Safe, but most to hoard wood. I buy a pittle extra each time, which I don't generally mill up, but which forms a reserve from which I can build what I want without trips to buy more sometimes.
There is a cost of doing business, and investing in tools is a part of that cost. That doesn’t mean I just aimlessly throw money at projects, I buy exactly what I need when I need it champ.
No worries, not riled at all. I have made dozens of sleds all of which worked really well. But the woodpeckers sled is by far the most accurate I have used.
