Testing and one and done. I prefer to do a test first, but sometimes I get lazy and just send it and hope it works. I just found your channel and really enjoyed this video. Well done, and yes I subscribed.
So my wife isn't the only one who waits until AFTER I leave the room and go upstairs to the other end of the house to ask a question at the same volume she'd use if I were standing next to her? Good to know. Great video! Thanks!
Test - This is a sweet project! I love how well thought out every detail is. You're really a talented dude and one of my favorite to watch. Thanks for sharing as always. Excited to see how this turns out.
Testing! Every time. I’m too new and inexperienced to try to nail a cut first try. I always measure twice cut once, measure again, cut again and repeat until it ends up too small 😂😂
Test...I'm slowly gaining experience building furniture/ cabinets. A big step from my previous 2x4 and sheetrock experiences . Got a lot of good tips from the video but I'm 70 so I'll probably only remember a few :) Thanks, looking forward to more of your vids !!
I work construction in my early 20s and it took me a while to get into furniture but it’s been a nice change of pace. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching.
The most talented wood worker I’ve ever known told me once: “fine woodworking is 20% building things and 80% fixing what you just f***ed up” Ability and experience at fixing problems is a sign of a master craftsman: they’ve been there, done that, made those mistakes. My dad is the craftsman in question. He also taught me most of the swear words I know.
Test 1-2-3 then I’m usually good to go lol. Excellent execution, and concept with this piece. I really enjoyed watching the first part come together. Those dovetail drawer boxes turned out super clean! Excited to see part 2!
Test. Dude, this piece is awesome! I love the low and long design you decided to go with and I really dig the curves on the sides. Your work continues to impress, definitely in my top five woodworking channels on RU-vid, I still don’t understand how this channel hasn’t blown up. Keep it up!
Testing. I don't have a jointer, so I use either a tapering jig on the table saw for shorter boards or a #7 or both. For longer boards, there are other methods for jointing an edge on the table saw. When jointing with a hand plane, you can achieve the same thing as the I/O method by putting the same faces of the two adjoining boards together and claimping them in the vice and planing them together. I used this method recently on a nine foot long walnut dining table and it worked well.
Yeah, I like the In-Out method at the jointer for larger board but will clamp them together for shorter ones and joint them with the number seven. I haven’t tried anything over 48 inches at the bench though, glad to hear you have found success with the longer timber.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Another method I learned from Rob Cosman is to put the longer board on a flat surface; put another board under it but a little bit back from the edge of the work piece; clamp them both down and then use your plane like on a shooting board. If you have an assembly table or work bench that is really flat, that works really well.
I have been enjoying the jointer plane run as last step for some time. It's not necessary all the time, however, I have found with deep pore wood like oak the plane removes the pore edge tearout from the jointer. Also, my jointer can leave ripples that are enough I always seem to get a tighter jointer plane. So #7 jointer gets used always. . . . plus, it's just a cool size jointer to use 🤣
Test. And I know I typically equivocate on your questions, but yeah, testing, which reminds me I need to save up for a shoulder plane. I'd love a pantorouter, but damn that thing costs more than my table saw did brand new. [insert sad, pouty face here] You did definitely get out of the norm here, and I'm certain Norm is happy you're no longer in him. I don't have the wife's mumblequestion from across the house, but I do endure her starting a new sentence just as I'm walking away, over and over, normally when my bladder needs the water changed out. Looking forward to the next part!
Glad to hear it! I have slowly but surely been adding planes to my arsenal and it has been more than worth it. And I feel like I get that more from my son - he's just always has something to say haha
Test. I’m interested why you - and it seems a lot of US woodworkers - do not use more veneered plywood or MDF. For large panels, I find it easier and much cheaper (in the UK) to buy veneered than solid. I understand that I need to add solid edges for most parts but that’s no big deal. I know that good quality timber in the UK seems to be more expensive than in the US so perhaps that is a contributory factor. I’m not sure if MDF is greener than solid. It obviously uses “dust” that would otherwise be scrapped but, then again, it uses a lot of glue which isn’t exactly a green product.
I go back and forth between the two. It really just depends on the situation and design for me. If I feel like hardwood will elevate the project then I go that route. Price is definitely an added factor too. When I’m building pieces I budget for both ply and hardwood and as long as the hardwood version isn’t significantly more expensive, I tend to lean towards that version.
in addition to domino or biscuits, splines work great for keeping boards aligned during glue up, especially if slots are cut with router references from show faces.
One and done - I've considered the PantoRouter, and they're also running a special on the Pro kit. Do you use the additional accessories that are included in the All-in-one kit? - Chris
I recently purchased a Leigh D4R Pro dovetail jig, and tried making a white oak 25" deep, 26" wide drawer on Salice F70 push to open slides. I don't know if its because the drawer is so heavy or if I screwed something up...but neither the push to open nor the soft close work lol. Maybe I shouldn't have gone so big on my first try.
One & Done - however i'm a complete newb - so it might change after some terrible mishap (although I do like to mark it on the piece that's going there instead of using a tape measure to transfer the cutline - that seems to eliminate a lot of my previous errors)
Test - lumber is too expensive to waste on stupid mistakes. It's nice to see someone who builds "real world"... and by that, I mean the synergistic combination of modern power tools combined with old-world hand tools. I find that to be the best combination of efficiency and hands-on craftsmanship. I'm not saying that power tools, set up correctly, won't give excellent results on their own... but they don't instill the same pride in the final result as working the wood by hand (woodWORKING?). Nice vid.
I completely agree! The blend of modern and traditional techniques really brings out the best in woodworking. It's all about finding that perfect balance!
Yeah, epoxy works awesome for filling cracks. It doesn’t stabilize quite as well as other options unless it’s inside of vacuum. But that’s on a case by case basis.
One & done, though that didn't really start until I got a fully digital slider and planer. If something doesn't, I know it's either my design/drawing or a having set the machine up wrong. Fine tuning with hand tools is very powerful though!
If jointing the edges with the hand plane, no need to waste your time with the in out jointing method. You’re immediately eliminating that effort by using the hand plane. But I do agree hand plane will give a real nice edge to glue up.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks no I agree. I’m saying doing both is counterintuitive. You’re eliminating the work of the other by doing both. Just a tip to save some time, that’s all.
Test. Stop "apologizing" for using a Domino. You are already using a Festool track saw, a Festool sander, a PantoRouter and of course a domino. There are only two kinds of woodworkers. Those who have a Festool Domino, and those that don't have one yet.
Always thanks very much for impressive video =) !! BTW, I really interesting your mechanical pencil with white lead(?) at 8:41. Could you give me the information of magical pencil?😀
Thank you for watching! Here’s a link to the chalk pencil: www.amazon.com/dp/B004M5BGD4/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_T4NFHRK2QKGZ60ABPTM3?linkCode=ml2&tag=timberbiscuit-20
I would love to hand cut dovetails, I just don’t have three days to make four drawer boxes right now. I have plenty of videos where I do, though if that’s what you’re interested in.
Am I the only one who was lost for the entire video? Is there an inside joke for the channel I'm not aware of since this is the first video I've seen from this channel? I mean what does the content of the video have to do with the title?
Hi mate, welcome to the channel, allow me to enlighten you. This video featured variably spaced dovetailed drawer boxes, and how those are built. The titles states "How youtubers cut dovetails," and the thumbnail showcases those dovetails. Sorry it that was difficult to grasp, personally, I feel that is pretty straight forward.
