In this video I make officially my worst ever project! A mid century modern style corner cabinet to hold some hifi equipment for our dining room. I believe the wood is Iroko, which is also known as "poor man's Teak"! The handles and hinges are solid brass. The legs are a mystery hardwood (probably meranti).

Show me a man whose never made a mistake, and I'll show you a man whose never made anything. Love your honesty , and the cabinet looks good to. Thanks for another great video

@virgo2716 Год назад

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

@dazeh10 3 года назад

Fair play showing your mistakes. You're only human.

@p_mouse8676 3 года назад

I love these kind of videos. People should do more of than. Always learn a ton! Which is a good thing!

@danc101 3 года назад

It's always good to have a reality check- nothing ever goes perfectly and highly edited RU-vid projects can often leave you with unrealistic expectations. In the end though, the cabinet looks great and you can hardly tell that you made any mistakes.

@seanporter113 3 года назад

I feel that your honesty in your mistakes is exactly what needs to be shown in an instructional video about woodworking. It’s exactly what happens in real world woodworking. And new woodworkers that only see perfect work never see how to repair their own mistakes. Thanks for your honesty brother.

@MaceoFox 3 года назад

“What are you working on?” Mr. K. was asked. Mr. K. replied: “I’m having a hard time; I’m preparing my next mistake.” Bertolt Brecht, Stories of Mr. Keuner - I should hang this quote on my workshop wall. Thank you for your honest report on all the issues you came across. I as a mere mortal amateur would have made twice as many mistakes in three times the time. Nice result, you can be proud of.

@mandyleeson1 3 года назад

Good on you, Keith. You’d never know looking at that cabinet, It turned out really well, and Dylan’s obviously forgiven you. Wharfedales are a great find👏🏼

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Cheers Mandy 😊

@benefitthirteen 3 года назад

I've said it before, one of the things I've always appreciated about your channel is the inclusion of mistakes made on projects - because it happens to us all. This project seemed to fight back, which made me smile a bit, for which I apologize.

@peterfitzpatrick7032 3 года назад

I've had that (fighting back) in machining, welding, electronics and woodworking .... we all get it but God knows why ... 🙄😂 But this is how you ( & I) learn ... keep on keepin on .. 🤗

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

thank you!

@frosiaburlakova7732 3 года назад

Your worst project looks like my best project. I admire your perseverance!

@andyb1368 3 года назад

There are two kinds of people. Those who have screwed up on a woodworking project and those who have never made a woodworking project. Kudos for sticking with it, getting around the little bugaboos, and making a great looking cabinet.

@Landruman2002 3 года назад

In my opinion... errors/build problems, if you discover them and resolve them, are not not anything worth making an issue about. You discovered all your errors, resolved them and ended up with a beautiful project in the end. I think it looks wonderful. Despite the difficulties along the way, a job well done!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thank you!

@mattstanley7887 3 года назад

I love your videos Keith. I’m 50 and I’m just starting out after not doing any serious woodwork since school. I’m loving it but do get down on myself when I make a mistake. Your cabinet turned out beautifully and showed me I should never give up - just take my time and patiently work through things. Thanks mate 👍

@Kaytaaay 3 года назад

As someone who's still toying around with the idea of taking on any wood projects, this video was actually really reassuring. It's helpful to know that mistakes don't always have to be a big deal, especially when you're new to the game and bound to make plenty of mistakes!

@andrewhoulihan7940 2 года назад

“I’m not done with making mistakes yet” i spit half my food out of my mouth to that part. Just love your channel Keith and your honesty for your Fuck-ups you do. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Andrew

@777-Crypto 3 года назад

I take my hat off to you for including all of the errors and being so honest about how you felt, makes the channel far more credible and enjoyable to watch as you know you get to see the “real” experience.

@TheRealFOSFOR Год назад

This shows exactly what I feel like doing projects at home. Mistake after mistake. An added bonus for me is that I never have the correct tools or parts available, no matter how much stuff I buy, I always need that one weird specialty tool, drill-bit, screw or whatever plyer-o-saw.

@chrischris3457 2 года назад

What I like is the honesty in showing mistakes rather than edit it out. We all make fuck ups, its how we learn from them thats important. Top job 👌👍

@julianadams2404 3 года назад

Someone wiser than me said "A man who has never made a mistake has never made anything". Mistakes are part of the process particularly on one offs. Looks great 👍

@LadyGecko 3 года назад

You didn’t make mistakes, you simply created more opportunities to learn. It turned at really nice.

@benclark1123 2 года назад

A beautiful looking cabinet Keith. You overcame the hiccups in style. Well done for not giving up. My favourite comment was the muffled “thank god for that” as the doors finally closed shut!

@Bob1Mack 3 года назад

This is very encouraging for those of us who make more frequent mistakes. At the end of the day, you have a very handsome piece of furniture, despite not being perfect all the way. Thanks.

@iseejewelz3874 3 года назад

Makes it endearing that he forgets to do stuff and also would make this more of a treasure to me having this w the mistakes . I love this piece

@markjarman7819 3 года назад

We all never stop learning no matter how good anyone person thinks they are. I truly think you done a great job and got yourself out of the mistakes. 👍

@BluuurghAg9 3 года назад

Everytime I work with hardwood or a personal project, mistakes are the most frustrating... But I always feel extra proud when I find a solution that works. So I say good job! And the endresult looks good!

@frankvanderwal4571 3 года назад

Oh, Keith, that was a pleasure to watch. Not so much that I like you to make mistakes, but your honesty is what touches me. Of course, things go wrong, and just showing and sharing them with us make you a star. The result is still very impressive! Thanks!

@thomastittlemier2104 3 года назад

The sign of a Craftsman isn't the project or joinery he uses, its how he hides his mistakes. Great looking cupboard.

@alastairmackay4589 3 года назад

16 hours is still very good. You’re so candid lol - but your honesty is a huge plus. We all learn by our mistakes, or even better, learn from some of yours!

I just bought a Domino - every setup I think of this video, so your sacrifice and sharing has helped others! 🙏🏻

@richardheath3159 2 года назад

Thank you for showing how to recover from mistakes. So many videos are edited to perfection but for us mere mortals, we need to see how to fix our oopsies.

@Bill.L.Carroll 3 года назад

Nightmare projects tend to haunt you for a while, but luckily after a while, a loooong while, and they do somewhat grow on you, and no, not like mould! It is a really nice looking unit, loved the way the wood popped when you got it with the finish!👍🏽

@jamesodlum3859 3 года назад

Thanks Keith, it's really useful seeing how people go about fixing their mistakes. We all make them after all!

@stevebowles312 3 года назад

Mate show me someone who doesn’t make mistakes. Looked great in the end and has inspired me to go out and do something after a period of laziness. Nice one Keith!

@dougsaunders8109 3 года назад

My two favourite mistakes with the domino, cutting the wrong side of the line and my absolute favourite forgetting to reset the depth and cutting all the way through. I remember Mr 10 Minute Workshop fessing up to that one too. Love the audio ‘thank god for that’ when the door shut 😁.

@melissahislop5716 3 года назад

I think it turned out beautiful even with the issues. Those “mistake laden” projects are the ones we learn the most from. You won’t appreciate it now but you will much much later. Congrats again to you and Rhea!

@GaryGlass-DriftwoodTurner 3 года назад

It turned out well in the end and well done for being honest and brave enough to include all the (minor) mistakes, none of which you can even see in the end piece. Thanks for sharing.

@Jeff-xn8tg 3 года назад

As you know the creation of furniture usually involves a prototype, which you did not have the luxury of. You overcame the design challenges and made up for your mistakes. We have all been there...and it looks great to me. Maybe I'll make one! Thank you for being brave enough to share!

@soffyabad 3 года назад

I believe you are tired too, rest some days and all will be fine, you will see. Thanks for your honesty. Have a great weekend. Do not be so hard to yourself Keith😎

@Lastman737 3 года назад

I'm not cheering for your mistakes but it's nice to know someone you admire for their ability still have trouble. Wonderful piece nevertheless.

@mikedeman5351 3 года назад

Thanks for showing it 'like it is'. The fact that you solved the problems is the main thing I take from this. And you ended up with a lovely looking piece of furniture. Well done :)

@davidcraemer8227 3 года назад

Despite all those mistakes You still made a good looking cabinet from reclaimed materials with minimal waste and I think that's super cool. You should feel proud of yourself and don't feel so bad about it, mistakes is after all how we learn to improve.

@stevehough8528 3 года назад

Keith I applaud your patience in dealing with such adversity. Your ability to recover from your mistakes was admirable and the finished product does you great credit. Nice one!

@jimwood73 3 года назад

Your honesty is applauded Keith. Chin up and keep us entertained. All the best.

@matthewevans7382 3 года назад

Loved the longer vid. We all learn from our mistakes, but you showed great perseverance and resilience. Congratulations on your big day and keep up the good work 👍🏼

@robshamel3210 3 года назад

I kept waiting for something terrible. I think you handled the issues well. Thanks for sharing and don’t be discouraged.

@wayneblythe5713 3 года назад

Your right Keith that is a lot of mistakes in one project, but we’ve all been there and fair play to you for showing them all.

@roncooper6302 3 года назад

I was software designer and whenever the customer queried a mistake I explained it was a feature. All went well until I got up to five features when I was rumbled.

@gloriahudson9408 3 года назад

It's comforting to see you making mistakes. I'm so with you. The best is how you solve them, and finished the project. Big lesson in coping with frustration! The piece turned out beautifully btw!

@christopherstrudwick 3 года назад

i always remember an old teacher and he use to say every mistake is a learning opportunity awesome project i love me some brown furniture it lasts for years

@Gman4633 3 года назад

I wish my mistakes looked that good, they usually end up in a burn pile. Love the honest on your channel keeping doing you.

@user-qg6fy4yp8t 3 года назад

Beautiful!!! Part of being a good woodworker is to know how to address the mistakes by correcting them or by going "around" them by creating a new design feature that will as a natural part of the project.

@carpenteire 2 года назад

Good end result! We've all been there with "unexpected" design changes! You done good 👍

@torinhalsey6313 3 года назад

Hang in there, Keith. Lots of lessons learned on how to do it differently next time. In the end, it looks great. Have a great weekend.

@Byront83 3 года назад

I enjoyed this video because you showed how easy it is to make mistakes and then showed how you went about trying to fix the mistakes. Good video Keith! Keep up the good work!

@graemecross9264 3 года назад

Looks great. And I like your honesty. We aren’t getting to much of that these days. The repair on the top was impressive. Cheers

@edmundkanther 3 года назад

How wonderfully honest and truthful! Thank you so much for this!

@samsshed5153 3 года назад

I feel your pain Kieth! So many projects where i start out confident, and then one problem spirals in to many 🤦🏽‍♂️ Problem solving can be super satisfying though! Love the fact that you're so willing to show your mistakes so that everyone learns from them. Keep up the good work 💪🏾

@paulrward 3 года назад

That is a beautiful ' bespoke piece ' ! And, Mr Brown, the mark of a great cabinetmaker is the ability to conceal mistakes ! I once examined a two century old Duncan Phyfe table- and found where he had covered up one of his mistakes in cutting a mortise and tenon !

@Chimpiin 2 года назад

Really heartening and relatable. Thank you for sharing your errors, fixes and thoughts.

@Brian18741 3 года назад

The repair turned out great Keith, glad you kept at it! 👍

@peterfitzpatrick7032 3 года назад

😂 you poor barsteward... I'm as bad/good ... 🙄 I will admit that the projects that give me the most grief are the ones I learn most from... 😏 You did good... and you prevailed.. live & learn my friend... 😎👍☘️🍺

@normancoutts 3 года назад

Full marks for honesty. Let the faultless throw the first stone - it surely wont be me! All the best.

@deanwellerassociates 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing Keith. I wish we saw more honest content showing the nature of making things and the off days that lead to inevitable fails. I've got a workshop full of them. See you on the next one.

@troykruse5161 3 года назад

Looks great 👍🏻. Don’t worry over mistakes. That’s how you come up with other ideas, like how you fixed them. I’m always coming across antique furniture with little imperfections that you can tell had been corrected in that time period. Just remember it adds character

@silvanaabela9803 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing and being transparent and honest. I am glad you stuck with it.

@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 3 года назад

Anyone who says they don't make mistakes is a liar. I think it came out beautiful and unless you get down and examine it your guests will never know. Well done!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

thank you!

@scott21171 3 года назад

Well worth your perseverance Keith, lovely piece..... Also thanks for sharing the picture of your big day!...On the subject of vans; I've had them from every manufacturer in the last 35 years. For the last 10,I've owned Volkswagen Caddys. And they have never broken down,EVER( I do 30,000 miles a year)...Unlike the ones I've owned from Peugeot,Citreon, Vauxhall and Ford,which were continually in the garage!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Cheers, I do like the look of the VWs, I'd probably want to get a Transporter though as it'd be great to pop a sheet of plywood in the back (although apparently it's quite tight!)

@thomashajicek2747 3 года назад

Sorry for hear about your troubles, but thanks for sharing them and making the rest of us feel a little less inferior when we mess up. Great work keeping cool and working through the problems. Owning mistakes and working through instead of giving up is a mark of a true craftsman. We appreciate any content you’re kind enough to produce and share, whenever you share it. Take some time off and enjoy the married life!

@WombleUK Месяц назад

That old hardwood came up lovely. Cannot believe you painted inside the unit & didn't bother painting the backs of the doors. Personally would have done a full back on it also, you're going to scuff the wall with logs & also have bits of wood fall out the back. But it looks good & suits the room very nicely.

@colingmaccoll 3 года назад

Love your honesty as ever Keith. The piece looks well in your house 👍

@justinwilsoncustoms6520 3 года назад

Love the honesty Keith, great video!!

@cakepanda 3 года назад

Keith I think it looks marvellous! We learn from mistakes otherwise we would never get better at things. Lots of great tips. fab video really enjoyed it.

@JG-jj5be 3 года назад

Great project!!! you might not like the mistakes but what you learn from them. Keep it going, you inspire me to do more work with reclaimed materials.

@JaceTLittle 3 года назад

Looks awesome. Perverance paid off. Great lesson for those who doubt their skills. Keeo up the great work and content.

@leedobson30 3 года назад

Great video - real - oddly encouraging - and authentic in your decision to have a rest and "regroup" from 'making'. Thnx !

@wyliecyottee10732 3 года назад

Love your channel. I'm such a novice woodworker and definitely feel drained when a project doesn't go well. Nice to be able to relate to the times when it doesn't go perfectly.

@MrBez007 3 года назад

Great repair and creative solutions to problems Keith. As a man who has made many many mistakes i can tell you you will have probably learnt more on this project than any other. For example I guarantee you won't ever forget to set domino depth again.( not trying to rub salt in the wound) Its not about the mistakes, its how you deal with them !

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

thank you! that's true

@andrewprice6007 3 года назад

I agree with most of the comments, mistakes happen. You thought about them and resolved them. That's half the fun. The finished item looked as it should. Well done

@yorkshirejoinery2869 3 года назад

I find that the time away from ‘making’ gives you the space to let the creativity build-up again! When you return to the workshop you’ll be more ‘energised’ and ready for another set of challenges! We’ll done for sticking to it!

@MrJono1999 3 года назад

It's great to see the mistakes and ideas for how to overcome them. I think end product looks pretty good. Love the warfdale speakers.

@joelwinter4956 3 года назад

@emmavik-fredriksson640 3 года назад

Loved this video, it's great to see that other people makes mistakes too! Please heal your brain soon, I love your project videos. The cabinet turned out great in my opinion🙌

@elioth.g.w2976 3 года назад

Looks great and thank you for showing the problem solving.

@benjamindyson1283 3 года назад

Definitely been there. Appreciate your honesty. Well done for pushing through it.

@benjaqsonworkshop9974 3 года назад

The cabinet looks great and you were clearly at the top of your game with the video editing. Sometimes it's just concentration that goes when there's bigger things on your mind but I know that low, low feeling of not wanting to work on anything. Make a few unimportant simple things to get your eye back in and remember your mistakes teach us lesser mortals what to look out for. Thank you for your honesty.

@Bonzomallard 3 года назад

There will always be problems and it’s how we overcome them. Good work and nice result. As long as you learned from the experience, it’s always a winner 🙂

@Neil-Hanson67 3 года назад

@idlersdream826 3 года назад

Despite all the problems, that’s a great piece of furniture Keith 👍.

@twincamtim 3 года назад

Sometimes you just have to push on through to get to the end, so well done for not giving in!

@stevebosun7410 3 года назад

Hi Keith, yes, a few heartaches, but it all looked well in the end. We all have these incidents, but after a few beers it's all forgotten and hopefully we've learned something. Just don't keep dwelling on it.

@senseinathan1 3 года назад

I really liked the outcome and would have it in my house. I'm glad you showed us the mistakes you made, it makes me feel better knowing that even the pro's make mistakes. Keep up the good work.

@negotiableaffections 3 года назад

Tough luck Keith, we all have them kinda days [or projects]. Turned out quite acceptible in the end and like you said, if they don't know about a whoopsy they usually never see it!

@cjhification 3 года назад

I was making fitted wardrobes in the bedroom, with a newly finished 30's pine floorboards, that had taken a week's work. I managed to over plunge in to the floorboards. There was some swearing. Now the floorboard now has a beach inlay. Years ago managed to badly ding up my brand new UJK pro router table top and the 10mm aluminium plate on day one, so very much identify with the self doubt that occurs when you damage something new through error. Enjoy the contract as always.

Aww man I feel your pain, I recently dominoed through a screw destroying the bit. I think id have cried going through not only your work piece but also your router plate. Nice one though for sharing with us all 😂😂👍
