I noticed the same thing, including the use of the sander that attaches to a drill for sanding rounded corners. I don't remember seeing it before and suddenly it's in several videos though only talked about in one.
Lol and my next project I've been planning for a couple weeks now is also exactly this, a media cabinet that has rounded corners using the kerf being method with a tapered router bit.
I just discovered your channel and the first thing i noticed was Toledo plywood! To think theres a woodworking youtuber right around the corner. Im def subscribing and will be working my way thru your previous videos. Glad to know theres another maker her in toledo!
I like this style of narrative that flashes back to you talking instead of a voice over narrative. And the build, the way you pivot midstream to see the vision and create the bench from the other two shows the thoughts of a creative mind. Beautiful ending creating the bench
I love how you chose to just utilize the tool sounds no music during parts of the video. Somehow that gives the video even more character when paired with sections that do have music.
As the Grind Hard dudes would say, that is premium. And BTW, thanks for making me want that rad tape dispenser. We have giant versions of those for our big paper packaging tape.
Okay, I have to know. What are you using to get all the motion in your videography? I know normally you have a camera man, but this video it looks like you did it all yourself.
I really enjoy your channel and your content, but i do miss the small gimmics from the older videos, such as the "sand in the place that you live" and the "drill some holes and pound some pegs", that always cheered me up ☺️ Keep up the good work 👍
Dude, I don't know specifically what you're doing different with the camera and the production, but this was a straight up beautiful video. Not to mention a great project on top of it. You had me captivated the whole way.
Help me, Dave. I'm having trouble remembering where I should do my sanding. Is it in the place where I sleep? The place where I eat? Vacation? Maybe I'll figure it out one day. I'll keep watching until I do.
That wa a fun little pivot. I'm really enjoying your new style with these vids. Just enough talking to work through highlights or details, but showing clearly how you do every step, ehch is what helps me the most. Thanks for sharing!
Now I want a tour of your music making setup, haha. Lovely build. I built my computer desk and had almost the same problem. I had to pick either a keyboard tray or MIDI controller tray underneath the solid top. Computer keyboard won out but I didn't think of an over-extending drawer slide to tuck the other keyboard away behind. I did think of a pull out shelf like you made but the desk would have to be higher. So many variables.
That is one aspect I enjoy your videos and GET HANDS DIRTY's videos. You both make your own soundtracks, and it adds some orginality. I must say though...I am still conditioned to expect "sand in the place" when you do your sanding montages, haha.
David, I understand the "aha" moment. Four years ago I started out to make one of your two drawer file cabinets. My wife had the "aha" moment and I turned it into a six foot long desk with two of the file cabinets (now three drawers each) as the legs for her.
I see you used PU glue to fill the empty space. Unfortunately it is a common myth that they can be used this way, but they don't work at all for this application. It has been tested and confirmed by gorrila glue representative. They need tight space with no gaps to glue well, and even the regular pva glue can work better with slightly larger gap than the pu glue. Just fyi, but I am sure that these will hold well enough and they look great 😊 Also don't keep your printer in the woodworking shop, they super don't like dust ;)
I built my desk the other way round. The keyboard/controller sits on the desk (it is a heavy beast, the Arturia Keylab 88 mkii), and the QWERTY keyboard and Wacom tablet slide out from underneath when I need them. Of course, mine lacks the cool curves!
You can calculate the curve dimensions. After cutting the curve slots into the plywood there is a remaining layer (the outside veneer or two depending on the depth of the cuts). The middle line of this layer is the neutral curve zone that will not compress or stretch on bending. Now it's only a matter of radius at this line and finding the midpoint of the circle to this radius by offsetting your curve template radius by the depth of the curve slots plus half of the thickness of the remaining layer.
Since you're doing a lot of kerf cutting, you could make a jig similar to a finger joint jig to make it more precise and efficient. Just a thought that came up while watching the beginning =)
Imagine if you has a sawblade with a trapezoidal tooth profile - a super-fine dovetail bit - if the angle, cut depth and number of kerf cuts were right then when you bent the sheet there could be no gaps? Would that work?
Very cool idea David great pivot keyboard stand looks great and dig how the other two look put together instead great idea and I’m definitely going to give kerf bending a try. Thanks for sharing your talents with us all.
Very cool just wanted to say real quick that your idea at the end about making the speaker stands a part of the turntable stand, speakers and turntables should not be on the same surface because then the speaker vibrations get transferred to the turntable and a loud bassy noise can make the needle jump.
Sooooo many woodworkers out there turn their noses at ANYTHING harbor freight ..... and yet, I constantly see very popular youtube woodworking channels with a metric ton of Festool STILL have a bunch of harbor freight F clamps!
great build :) Your designs are always thought provoking :) One suggestion, watch james wright's video about glues, specifically about their gap filling ability. To spoil the fun, polyurethane glues don't do well, I'd have used epoxy with a filler. Hopefully you don't run into any issues long term :).
@MakeSomething Thank you so much! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your content and how informative and helpful it has been for me. Keep up the great work!
I love all of the self produced music but you know what song this video didn't have? Drill some holes, pound some pegs. Drill some holes, pound some pegs. Aside from that the video was great. 😂
I know there’s always that feeling of accomplishment when you put that first wipe of finish on a project but I would say as soon as you picked up both sides of your kerf-cut bends and it sat up to pretty square would be a pretty great feeling as well.
Totally off-topic. But while watching your video I happen to notice it looks like you have a Bambu Labs A1 3D Printer. How do you like it? I just got one for fathers day and it's my first 3D printer. Absolutely love your content. It's so fresh and different from anything else out there and I love the AirBnB you are doing. Unfortunately, Ohio is a bit far from Florida. But, love what you're doing. Keep up the amazing content!
Thanks for sharing a piece of your design process. The kerf cut corners look great and I have a question on the strenght of the corner on how much stress can it handle do you think without the support piece ?
That's what I was thinking when he added it. The two sections reinforced themselves making the stretcher unneeded. But that's life, we get used to doing something because it's needed and don't think about it when we change things and just do it out of habit.
