These were initially for a private channel, made for family and a handful of friends. Private channels are a real nuisance the way they are set up, so after 6 months I made it public.
The kitchen is mostly done, only a few things left that are cosmetic. Now it's just a matter of sorting through and editing the massive backlog of raw video. So far I've done about a dozen episodes but there's still around 15 terabytes of footage left. I'll post them as I get through them.
yes but.. the other end was 2mm.. if they were both off by half then it would at least be parallel to the island but now its at an angle so ok ya I'll shut up.
@@SnakesandDinosaurs Thanks mate. It looks like they're around $45 for a pair (!). Ok for a one-off but maybe not for the 15-20 I want to do, which is too bad b/c I really like the concept.
That's not a bad price actually, they are around $85 CAD up here for a 24". I don't have experience with the quality/performance, but there are more affordable alternative undermounts, if you try somewhere like Cabinetparts they have a bunch of selections.
Honestly I loved the original drawers (not sure how that detracted from her homemade mugs) however I can appreciate the unique look and feel of the updated version with the pegs and there’s a sweetness of knowing those pegs came from your parents awesome property. It would be neat to see you use more lumber from those rotting trees, I’m sure there’s a ton of character from worm holes to color/grain variation. Definitely cost savings to use homegrown lumber and pegs except more time perhaps, depending on how you did your dovetails which I love too and of course processing a tree is a lot of labor and time but wow it’d be a blast to watch. Pls don’t push out your final drawers, I love inset and with all the character added imo it’s perfect, that may be too much. I’ve seen cool idea from another person here on YT Alexander something and anyways he does a solid wood wrap (he uses wood sparingly to give the appearance of without actually covering the entire plywood boxes as the countertops hide the rest) to give a layered appearance which stuck out further than the drawers which I get the sense when you pulled out your drawers that may be what you’re looking for. I like the texture, I also love the smooth wood but I think overall it’ll have a hand built quality to it with the textured, uneven edges. I’ve never thought about using a wire wheel so that was a neat trick. What would be really neat is trying some type of sheet metal or copper/brass sheets, the decorative kind as a base for veggies, potato and onion drawers, solid metal sheeting for a flour drawer, etc. as a way to store essentials. I’d love to see what you come up with!
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate your write-up, and you're right there's nothing wrong with the original dovetail, I just wanted to create something special for her earthenware is all. The drawers being pushed out, I was trying to see if the texturing on the edges would show through but you're right it was too much at half inch. At a shallower depth it does create a nice subtle highlight on all the top edges tho. And speaking of texturing, for the rest of the drawers, I use a restorer tool with a 3" wide wire wheel, so it's a much faster process. Thanks again for watching.
Great craftsmanship. Few pointers. Playing cards make for cheap and great and cheap shims when fitting doors and drawers. Second , use an over sized drill bit when drillimg oit the hole on the front of your drawer box. This allows you to micro adjust your drawer front to the opening.
Looks great! Was it about 1 gallon of top quality paint per coat? And the two coats of good primer. Maybe expensive, but very likely worth it. Hiring a decent painter would have cost something scary. And it probably wouldn't have turned out as good as your work.
Ya I'm not a fan either.. I didn't know it was like that until I pulled off the drywall. It hasn't been an issue for the last 40+ years since the house was built so hopefully it stays that way.
