An off topic about art... I really miss painting! I really need to find some plans for a... Well, I don't know the name in English. 😬 That thing that holds the canvas.
After watching all of your videos that feature Jerry and Lola, I think I've finally cracked the code to tell them apart! Jerry is the grey cat and Lola is the OTHER grey cat. How'd I do?
How to tell them apart? Easy: put the cat in a box. Schrodinger's theory would imply that if the cat is Jerry than it isn't Lola, but it also could be Lola, and not Jerry. Or both. Or neither. I'm so glad I own a dog...
Keith, your videos are my favorites on "the tube". I am always amazed at how complicated your projects are. I think you enjoy making them more difficult and I thoroughly enjoy watching you leap over every self imposed hurdle. I can't wait till the next one.
Your attention to detail is so great! The way you planned for the grain to all run the same way on the rounded parts of the oval legs blew my mind haha I wouldn’t have thought of that
Without doubt the best woodworking video channel out there, your attention to detail on your projects and the actual content of your videos are nothing short of excellent.
Still waiting on an over-the-top, walnut and white oak cat tree or something. Jerry and Lola are just hanging around the shop without a house lol. Beautiful work, Keith! Love your videos!
Though I will probably never build anything like this, the way you talk us through your problem solving is not only wonderful but instructional. Of the videos I have watched of yours this is the best.
Keith, what you’re trying to do with the legs is called a “circumscribed polygon”. The math is a little be different than your approach, but still quite manageable. There are several videos on RU-vid that will come up if you search that phrase.
I appreciate the level of work that goes into your build. The legs alone are nothing short of excellent, with a minimalist look. I look forward to the full reveal.
Keith always amazed by the detail of your videos. I got my kids hooked looking for Jerry and Lola throughout the video. Now they watch all of them with me. Keep up the amazing context.
I've been watching this build in daily instalments on Instagram, so it is great to see it start to finish. I don't do woodworking, but I find exactly the same thing happens when sewing or any other craft- even after years of experience, I always underestimate the time it will take! Love to see Lola and Jerry. One day I'll be able to tell them apart. :)
So true! The only way you can really hone in on how long it will take to build something is if you have built it multiple times. And Lola and Jerry's personalities are so vastly different that it's actually pretty easy to tell them apart. 😉
I respect the honesty of your production journey. I guess the things which go wrong are the ones I learn most of. Thank you! It's so authentic and makes you very sympatric.
I appreciate that! Mistakes are certainly an important part of furniture making. They can be frustrating, but always educational. Thanks for the comment!
I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your videos. I found your channel in December and binged watched all your videos. I look forward to watching future videos. Keep up the great work Keith!!!
Amazing build, Keith! I just wanted to let you know that there's a tiny but persistent beeping in the video... not sure if it's in the music or what, but I thought you would want to know. Not criticism... just a heads up. Thank you for all of the woodworking inspiration!
Man… when your videos come out I just know I’m in for a treat. All that detailed work pays off in a big way, not only in the final product, but also for people like me who absorb every piece of wisdom that comes out of it so I can get better as well. So, once again, you knocked it out of the park. Ohh, and that block plane ❤❤ :). I sent it to my wife, who knows I’ll get one as a Christmas gift this year lol.
Thank you for discussing the rationale for the grain matching. It makes all the difference in a seamless finished project. One comment- you could have eliminated a whole lot of math if your plywood circle template was cut to an even diameter to begin with (or determine your diameter for the desired number of slats by their width. Also, twill fabric or twill tape gives a better bend for the tambour door- it is about the thickness of a bed sheet but has an open weave to adhere to the glue and slats. I love the finished project!
If productivity vs profit matters then speed is King . If the fruit of Your labor is more value than profit then time means nothing . Back in 2007 I spent a year building a kitchen hutch for My wifes anniversary gift . Yes Sir I did it between working two full time jobs ! My effort was worth the time .So should everyones projects .
No worries and really no pressure! It’s always exciting to see what you build and I appreciate the hard work and level of quality you put into your content! Thanks a bunch
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking interesting - did you send the entire sled through with the pieces, or was the sled stationary? I was imagining a jig that moved through the planer with the pieces, but unsure if the juice would be worth the squeeze. Maybe just slapping down some wax paper to the planer bed would do the trick 😂.
Hey Keith, was using my late lunch break to watch your latest video. As usual, very interesting project and super well presented. Enjoyed it a lot, so thumbs up again ;)... Cheers a d regards from GER
Thanks Keith for the inspirational idea 😃, I been looking for leg styles on a river table I have on the drawing board, now I can use them to hide cables & hold up the table top all in one👍
I made the same exact canvas-related error earlier this week on a quartet of tambor-style plant stands. I had already fully made the inner framework so I wound up fudging a few of the strips width-wise to accomodate an extra and close the gap. Good grief. Love your work man!
You glazed over the laquer over the brass part. I've been desperately curious about metal to wood inlays/integrations but I'm so lost on the finishing side of that. The sanding trick here was WAY useful. Would love if you had a video more detailed in these aspects since you dabble in this as well. No one else is talking about it on RU-vid
For brass and copper inlay in wood, I just coat over them with whatever finish I am using...which is typically Rubio Monocoat or Osmo hard wax oils. For small pieces like the pull I used I here, you can spray with this: a.co/d/1FyTblb
It seems like building the cylinder "skeleton" took a lot of time. I wonder if using a tube / cylinder of cast acrylic would serve the same purpose while eliminating all that template fabrication. Then work backwards to epoxy the wood strips directly to the acrylic; that'd cut out the tambour process and give you the wiggle room of being able to tweak the last few individual pieces to close up any gaps
@Keith Johnson Custom Woodworking Yeah, the one with the door would require a little more work. However, I think it could be done much the same way you did, but instead of having to cut a section out of the tambour, just hold off securing those slats to the tube and cut them to length at the cross cut sled. A jigsaw could cut out the opening in the acrylic, then epoxy the slats to that piece and the rest of the tube? I dont think it would eliminate any of that door frame work though haha
As usual Keith a totally bad ass build. The access panel details are a work of art. I was thinking you could have just removed strips of the fabric where the circles of your leg were rather than making them smaller? Seems like your solution worked equally as well. I didn't see you put in your custom circle logo into this build? Perhaps you'll do that in the next video? Also where do you get those? They are super cool and I'd like to get some for my own creations.
That fabric was stuck on there like you wouldn't believe. It would have taken just as long to scrape it all off, unless I set used a router to just barely trim it down to the surface. Check out bit.ly/34B4yru for maker medallions
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking By the way, something I realized just now (20 minutes after I got done), you could have cut a portion off the tambour access panel to cover the plywood area and have it be nearly the same as the other access panel.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Can confirm, was let down….. That the video was only 44:09 long! Great content as always! The legs look great and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the desk(s) come together in the next video!
Nice Video and nice desks. That is a huge amount of walnut!!! I was wondering if you could tell me what you used to mount your festool tracks on your garage doors. I'd really appreciate it.
Why you always gotta be hating on the gorgeous sap wood from Walnut!? For legal reasons this is a joke… although I do love the character in walnut with sap wood. Definitely doesn’t fit for every piece though!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Ill make it my goal to be like you! Thrive is not a word I would use just now to describe how I feel when I have to remake or reconfigure an opps! But I do try and take it in stride!
Astonishing attention to detail as always Keith, fantastic viewing! Frightening amount of walnut there! How do the lumber costs compare? I just paid £130 for one cubic foot of walnut in UK approx $160 I think.
Here’s the copy and paste I send to people when they ask: Pros: 1. 4Hp - plenty of muscle 2. SilentCutter Block helical head is phenomenal. 3. Machine is very quiet. So quiet that with my ear protection on I can barely even hear it and sometimes forget to turn it off. 4. Change-over from jointing to planing is simple. 5. I like the European style guards vs. traditional pork chop style. 6. Having a 12-inch jointer is money. 7. Dust collection is great. 8. Very compact footprint and mobile base makes it easy to move around. Cons: ***BIGGEST PROBLEM: Machine comes from the factory with a natural spring joint calibrated into the beds. If you aren’t familiar with this, you can Google to read more. This is a real problem. It can be adjusted, but it’s a touchy operation. 1. Infeed/Outfeed beds are short. Bed extensions cost additional $500-$750. 2. My fence is cupped and never stays square to the bed. Has to be re-squared every time I move it. 3. Feed rollers on the planer are metal, not rubber. They skip sometimes if aren’t vigilant about waxing the beds and don’t always feed consistently when you are trying to take just a little bit off at a time. 4. 12-inch planer is a step down from my old 13-inch Dewalt.
