I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ru-vid.comUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

Way better than a rivertable

@connorhart7597 Год назад

I'm so tired of those. Just the abundant use of epoxy really. Like obviously do what you wanna do, I'm just voicing my personal opinion on them. I have to put that disclaimer cause we all know how "they" can be lmfao

Yes!! So many slab tables and live edge everything. When did bolting legs to a slab become the standard?

@mcswordfish Год назад

As someone who lives in a weird hybrid land where we use a mix of metric and imperial measurements, I really appreciate you using both systems in your videos, but they do highlight how weird my brain is with measurements. I've been making a conscious effort to train myself more on metric - I've stopped weighing myself in stones and use kg instead, and as my kids have grown, I've only ever used cm to check their heights. But, a few years back, I worked in a shop that did packing and shipping and when reshaping cardboard boxes (to fit pictures frames etc) I tended to use inches for the simple reason that "The numbers are smaller so the arithmetic is easier" and this has bled into some aspects of my woodworking, but not others. Half-inch plywood is easier to visualise than 12mm, but as soon as you were talking about changing from 3/4" to 5/8", I had to stop and think about the fractions because I have no practice of using inch fractions beyond quarter. And when folks on RU-vid start talking about 32nds of an inch, I have no idea how small that is, and then find myself in my calculator dividing 25.4 by 32 to get a value in mm. It's a funny old world

Great video Rex! I appreciate that you don’t do epoxy river tables.

@notreallymyname3736 Год назад

The Moravian stool design is by far one of my favorites. I recently finished a set of bar stools based on this design, and they're tough as nails. Between the wedged through tennon, sliding dovetail battens, and morticed stretchers, it's just stupidly strong.

@vanessakitty8867 Год назад

I have been thinking this design at the bar height.

@notreallymyname3736 Год назад

@Vanessa Kitty it's definitely worth it. I'd be sure to have stretchers between the lower portion of the legs at bar height, though. In my experience, the legs start to flex a bit once they get longer than 30".

@BohumirZamecnik 11 месяцев назад

My grandma's grandma used a small stepstool like this while milking a cow some 100 years ago. I made another one from a 115 years old piece of spruce firewood. This kind of stool has a very clever design. It can last another 100 years. Thanks for a detailed video.

@BasiliskFilm Год назад

The well-splayed octagonal top-tapered legs are often found in Welsh stick chairs too, as parts were often shaved rather than turned, unlike the traditional Windsor. Interesting that you found an example from a Central European tradition.

@ciaheadmechanic0809 Год назад

I also really like the look of tapered legs with the wide end at the floor. I’m pretty sure that Schwarz-style stick chairs are in my future.

@klez42 Год назад

I made the Shwarz three-legged stool with legs in this style, it really worked well and made the build way simpler :)

@theeddorian Год назад

I do the handhold first, but I also learned the hardway to remember it. I use a coping saw to cut the outline between drill holes and a rasp to do the main finish shaping. It isn't a Moravian design, but that handle is useful in most low stools.

@mattevans-koch9353 Год назад

@yizhuolin3906 Год назад

The good thing about it is the dovetail dado adds thickness to the bench without making it looks heavy. By just looking at it I immediately want to add stretchers both way for my 90kg rump, but I know the thickness of bench and dado combined could handle the spreading of the legs. Great works as always Rex!

I also have a nice tapering jig for use with my table saw. Excellent design. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

@trevorlambert4226 Год назад

The irony is that the stool with the wider tapered end at the bottom may look more substantial, but it's significantly less sturdy than the other way around.

@aeromaxout Год назад

Hmm... I'll have to give this a try some time.

@quantumleap8888 Год назад

Impressive that you are showcasing the sliding dovetail Rex. A few years ago I tested my talents and started making my outdoor table sets with sliding dovetails. It really is a genious way of building. Right now as you post this great instructional video, I am currently building the first of three garden/planter boxes using only sliding dovetails. The boxes are 5'(w) x 3'(T) x 16'(L). Once you start applying using just wood joinery in your projects, you just may never go back to using nails or screws. I also use Draw board joinery on my table sets on the tressles and stringers, Perhaps you can showcase that type of joinery?

@dpmeyer4867 Год назад

@pitsnipe5559 Год назад

@bobrees4363 Год назад

I would have thought the mortices were only in the dovetail, leaving a solid top. You might need a thicker piece for the dovetail if you did it that way though.

@youngbloodbear9662 3 месяца назад

Im a little confused what the point of the dovetails are if the tennons still come out the top

@joeleonetti8976 Год назад

Thanks Rex. I made a 10 degree jig not that long ago (about 1:6) for sliding dovetails and then 90 degrees on the other side. That way it has a dual use. The sliding dovetail side is obvious. The other allows me to chop to the baselines easily after coping/fretting out the waste of dovetails (trick I learned from Laura Mays). In order for the scribing to work, does the bench also need to be level with the floor? I can't quite tell in my head if that is needed. I know the surface of my bench is flat and twist free.

@ricos1497 Год назад

Yes, it would need to be level. Imagine just two legs, the left one is 1 inch shorter than the right. You would put a 1 inch spacer underneath the left leg to bring it level. If you have a block set at 2 inches to scribe the legs, then you will correctly chop 1 inch off the left leg and 2 from the non-wedged right leg. If the bench is not level, skewed by 0.5 inch downward at the left leg then you'd need a 1.5 inch wedge under the left leg to make the seat level. Thus when you scribe the legs then, you'd be taking only 0.5 inches from wedged left leg, leaving a 0.5 inch discrepancy when you stand on the floor. Hope that explains it (and I hope I'm right!).

@ricos1497 Год назад

Also, I should add, don't try to level your bench if it isn't already. Just use a flat piece of ply or MDF and shim that until level on top of your bench. It'll save a lot of effort. It's not a requirement in normal use to have a perfectly level bench.

@user-zj4eb7hv4z Год назад

This is great! @Rex, just my education, why did you wedged the legs in the stool top? That would prevent expansion, which is the point of the dovetail pieces. Why not make those beefier enough to accept the wedged legs?

@RexKrueger Год назад

Wedging the legs keeps them from falling out. With a straight tenon, they need wedges.

@user-zj4eb7hv4z Год назад

Thanks for the reply, but the question was why not use the dovetail pieces to do that? Wedging the legs that way has the penalty of limiting wood movement of the stool seat. Nevertheless, I appreciate your teaching style and the fact that you are bring to our attention a method that is unique

@RexKrueger Год назад

Ah, now I get the question. Sorry. You can use just the battens for the legs, but then the battens have to be much thicker, which messes up the whole point of using thin boards. Also, these rarely split, so there's basically no downside to sending them all the way thru. Thanks for taking the time to explain your question again.

@amk1393 Год назад

How does this make the chair stronger? Is it because the batons add thickness? Is it the perpendicular grain directions? What is it?

@RexKrueger Год назад

Yup. Perpendicular construction WITH the legs staked all the way through. Crazy strong.

@jimcarter4929 7 месяцев назад

Seems like if you start with 3/4 inch stock to laminate legs you are 1/8 inch short to end up at 1 5/8 inch.

@jimcarter4929 7 месяцев назад

Looks like one inch stock.

@crispy_otter Год назад

Rex, I enjoy your videos (and book!) but I've noticed that lately the sync between sound and video is out. I find it disturbing to watch (my grey matter is intolerant to it) so I wonder - with your incredible talent with timber - if you could make yourself a Clapper Board out of some scraps and maybe help to sync the audio track. Maybe that would make a good subject for a video, too!

@muleskinner47 Год назад

I cannot see why the legs locking the dovetail blocks to the seat does not restrain the seat causing it to split during wood movement. ?.?

@user-ii8my8rs5p Год назад

I might be dumb but I don't understand what is the purpose of the sliding joint, why not just insert the legs into the top plank? Is it just esthetics?

@mercoid Год назад

As he mentioned, the sliding dovetail construction allows one to use thinner pieces of material while providing a great deal of strength in the finished piece that you wouldn’t otherwise have in using such thin planks.

@disco_falcon1895 Год назад

I'm pretty sure 2 pieces of 3/4" stock glued together won't make 1-5/8". What am I missing here?

@peterturner8766 Год назад

There seems to be an error in your plans, Rex. You say "Drill into that center-mark a 1⅛ " (43mm) dirll bit". Whilst we spell it "centre" in England, 43mm is more like 1¾". (1⅛ " is nearer to 28mm). So I am left wondering which is correct.

1 1/8 is correct!
