@@ianman6 oh ya. all the joints are the basics and this is a great way to get a taste for them. don't expect it to be perfect, but you can expect it to be functional. the best way to learn is to jump in!
This was a great overview but if anyone is curious the whole build series is worth the time incredible amount of information. James thank you this was awesome
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve loved your channel since last August when I started cleaning my basement and restoring my family hand tool collection. Your advice on cleaning and sharpening saws, planes, chisels, and bit braces, and your videos on shop organization and benches really got me off the ground, couldn’t have done it without you. Also and excitingly, I’m putting the poly on my finished side table! I simplified it from your plans slightly, and used glue and dowels, but i really really enjoyed the project and doing something so involved with hand tools (minus the rough cutting, used a circular saw) is so gratifying. thanks again James Brendan
A few Phillips screws and it will stay together😀 Pole lathe for turning. What a hoot. I hope you used wet timber. You are now a qualified “bodger” in the original meaning. Actually a challenge and test of skill. What’s with the gloves? Raw linseed oil does my hands good.
sure. you might want to use a thinner dowel as if it is much over 1/4" it would weaken the corner. I thought about doing that, but I am perfecting the side method for future ideas. on some other project, I want to use brass dowel stock and have it be proud then use that as the drawer stop. we will see though.
I'm a little disappointed in you James. You could have reduced the video build time by at least half. Just double speed fast forward like a few other 'Machine' workers do. LOL. I have to give you some credit, this second build end product was just as good as the first. I told you that you could sell your ideas to IKEA. I'm sure they would be interested in a quality product that can be made and assembled in 10 minutes ;D
