Building furniture can be accomplished in many different ways...these are some of the methods and techniques that I use.

Hi @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking ! Did you try Rubio monocoat on the Valchromat doors? If you did, how does it look? If you didn't, there must be a reason that I would like you to please share. Thanks. Greerings from México City.
Yes, I did try it, but because Rubio is an oil, it was turning the Valchromat very dark and flat looking. I wanted to maintain the bright blue color as much as possible.
Any difficulty with heat in the drawer with the power outlets? I built a floating cabinet for my son and put power in the drawer for his Playstation and it got so hot in the closed drawer, the machine was hot to the touch.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking i have worked with a lot of gilding paints that often sub copper for gold because it's cheaper. I'm not completely inexperienced in this arena.
Fascinating! How did you know what to quote for this work? Like if you’re (hypothetically) charging 50/hour plus material all in you’re north of 24k (given that the client made you make 2!), which given the skill and results I don’t find ludicrous but I’m curious of the business aspect to custom pieces. Happy to hear others chime in!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking ah! I wasn’t looking to know the intricacies of the business side to warrant buying your pricing guide (as good as it may be for wood workers, I’m just a passer-by!), it was curiosity roughly what clients expect to hear from you
I tried to do this but when i was doing the 45deg cuts on the long pieces on my table saw, I created a wave pattern. What's the secret to keeping that piece near the rip fence.
Puhleezzzzze!! 'Rabbet'? NO! It's a REBATE! Proper English, y'know, and A-L-U-M-I-N-I-U-M, like most elements in the latter half of the periodic table, it has the 'NIUM' in it's name, and I am sure that you would pronounce them correctly, so why single out poor old Aluminium for wreckage? Would you say 'Plutonum', or 'Americum' or 'Einsteinum'?
Cheers for the riveting lecture on the proper English! I do love a good patronising rant. 'Rabbet' is a perfectly fine term for a joinery cut, but I suppose you're right-how dare I stray from your lofty standards in a RU-vid video. Clearly, I've been leading my life in a state of linguistic chaos. And as for Aluminium, well, we mustn’t upset the delicate balance of the periodic table - it's not like language ever evolves or anything. Please continue to educate us mere mortals with your impeccable pronunciation prowess and wonder why everybody walks the other way when they see you at a party. And of course, your passion for the 'NIUM' club is truly touching. Let’s not forget the countless hours we spend fretting over the proper pronunciation of elements in casual conversation. Bugger off, mate - nobody gives a crapium.
Where did you get the polymerized walnut oil, and what was the dry time for that? It looks beautiful, and I'm guessing it's even food contact safe. Thanks KJ! 🤙🏼
😂 these things don’t happen overnight, my man! With every project you gain more and more experience and develop new skills. Don’t throw those tools away!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking it certainly wet my appetite for it. I’m curious if that new laser of yours is only for engraving? Or if you can cut through 1/8 inch plywood for drawer dividers and such?
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking nice.. I hadn’t thought about acrylic. I’m hoping to pick up myself a shapeoko CNC later this year, and then I think I’ll get either a laser or a drum sander
Great video and design. Love it. Wish I came across your channel to have a chance to get it, but will get the plans and build my own someday soon. Cheers.
Hello keith, love the video just interested in asking about wood bending. I'm trying to get into it and just want to know about the steam box cause the steam generator doesn't exist in my country there is only a steam pressure cleaner (3500w and 100c or 212f). Is it possible to use that even thou the pressure is higher than a normal steamer?
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Hey Keith unfortunately, unable to find what you described turns out the only thing similar to it was a high-pressure Steam Cleaner for cleaning Kitchen Hoods. wallpaper is rarely used in construction.
36:27 I appreciate the fact that this RU-vid wasn’t “sponsored” by the film manufacturer. But I wonder, would you have used that film if you had had to spend $600+ out of your pocket for that material. I am not meaning to sound judgmental. I think it is great the film manufacturer was willing to provide the film gratis. And considering the costs of producing this RU-vid where you spend so much time showing what someone needs to do to implement using a privacy film, while it was free to you, it wasn’t cheap. But still, if the firm had been paid for by you, would its “cool-factor” have won the day?
I was planning on doing it regardless of free product since it was in the budget. Knowing what I know now and the amount of work involved vs. the actual functionality…no, I wouldn’t do it again. Clear glass would have been more than sufficient in this particular case.
The cabinets are absolutely stunning. The detail made possible by blending your strengths really made them come to life in the end. Congratulations on an amazing build.
A special result. For my taste the hinges were too long and dominant. In keeping with the creative design I would have gone with something less rectangular.
Everclear is a great all-purpose thinner and solvent. Besides cleaning brushes and tools, it's also ideal for de-icing your windows in cold weather. Just mix it 1:1 with water in a spray bottle. and it will melt the ice on contact. If you use distilled water, there won't even be any residue when it dries.
