I like the way you present your video. Step by step, no music, no fripperies, just easy to understand visuals. You do amazing work. You are certainly at the top of your craft. I love the finished product. Beautiful melding of wood colors and textures. Thank you for presenting this video.
Love the veneer on the doors. The whole piece is a joy to the eyes. Walnut is my favorite of all the woods. It's hard for me to move away from it, at times. Great work.
@@juliakathryn2582 thank you, Julia! And I agree on Walnut being a favorite. No matter how many times I use it, I’m always blown away once the finish goes on.
Beautiful workmanship. Picked up some good intel throughout this build, though surprised you domino'd instead of dovetailing those stringers. Thank you for sharing with all of us!
@@branchandfoundry560 Agreed 1000%. I had every intention of dovetailing the stringers until I accidentally cut them short by .25” each. 🙄🙄. That was enough to make the tails way too small for stability. It was one of those moments where you just stop and stare at your mistake for like 10 minutes. I could have remade them but I would have had to use stock I was saving for the drawer fronts. It was a hard lesson learned. One of many on this build!!
Awesome. I’d definitely watch a shop tour vid if that’s something you’re interested in. Always curious how other ppl with smaller shops lay everything out :)
@@Hg99661 it’s definitely on my list of videos to make. Shop is only 170 sq feet so it definitely gets tight at times. Especially larger format builds like this
The blue tape idea to make dovetails is genius!! I do a lot of work with Walnut and seeing the lines can definitely be a challenge. I don't know why you haven't shown up in my recommended videos, but I'm glad I found you! Beautiful work.
@@rjrotermund blue tape and double-sided tape are probably my biggest shop expenses. It makes joinery so much easier. And it’s cheaper than getting an eye exam and new glasses. 😂
@@RPBasilio LOL! I'm a bit older now and eye sight is definitely a problem. Are you in the US? What brand double stick tape do you used? I have not liked any of the brands I've used.
Great looking project, I believe if I were to attempt to make this, the only change I'd make,is instead of the wood panels,I'd replace them with panes of beveled glass
@@chrisbrown456 funny you say that as one of the original designs had Morisco glass panels. I’d like to make this project again in the future in this manner
@@jeffsanden9582 i debated on adding some of that footage to the video but thought it made it too drawn-out. I may make a separate video just talking about the issues I ran into, though. Plus, it would have taken forever to edit out all the foul language. lol
I’m glad I found your channel my friend! I follow you on instagram and love your work great to see full build videos. Very methodical and precise work keep it up
Beautiful piece! Your attention to detail is amazing. My wife liked your Army stuff, she was part of The Big Red One back in the day. I was curious where you got your metal logo to install in the pieces from? I'm looking to get some for my pieces too, instead of an iron burning.
@@crazycdn8327 thank you so, much!! I get my logos from Medallion Maker. He can make any shape you need and they are solid brass. Absolute quality and I highly recommend them!
Thanks! The bag is from Roarockit. It’s designed for skateboards but is a great affordable option outside of a vacuum kit. However, it’s VERY, VERY manual. Took about 10 mins of hand-pumping to get the bag deflated. Quite the workout
Hi Rick. Thanks for the great build! Question- I see that you use your Veritas DT saw more often these days then your RC DT saw- any particular reason? Thanks again, beautiful work!
@@GrizzCraftCustoms Haha - great observation! My RC saw will always be my absolute favorite. The ONLY reason it’s not my go-to right now is that it needs to be sharpened. I haven’t learned how to do this properly yet, so I’m currently using the Veritas saw. This saw is nice but it’s a much more aggressive cut, which I’m not crazy about. One day I’ll learn to sharpen hand saws and get the RC back in the game. 👊👊
Все конечно круто! Респект и уважуха. Но странный набор инструмента. Два рейсмуса, а шипорезки нет. Даже у меня есть полный фарш от Incra, где нарезание шипов фрезером доступно даже подростку. Хотя ни такой торцовки, ни таких рейсмусов ни всего остального нет. Впрочем, повторюсь ты крут!
Nice work as always, Rick. Do you do anything after the dovetails come together to fill in any slight imperfections? I know a lot of people that use PVA glue and sawdust, but wasn't sure how finish would look using that method
Typically I do. I have yet to do dovetails where they all come out perfect. I have a feeling I will be chasing this for a very long time. When I fix gaps, I go with the old stand-by approach of wood glue and sawdust. However, for darker woods, hide glue works even better. Thankfully it’s small enough where the finish is not impacted
Hello. Will you kindly explain the tool you used to layout your dovetails? Appears to be an Irwin combination square retrofitted by adding a brass wedge. Did you come up with the idea?
Hi Leonard. The brass dovetail guide is actually made by Dirty Leg Craftsman. I’m not sure if he is still making them but this is one of my favorite tools in the shop!
@@ericpowell5803 I typically add the bottoms after I add the finish. Not having them installed when applying makes it much easier. Check out the video at time stamp 22:07. You can see the installed bottoms once the finish was complete.
@@RPBasilio I can see through the bottom of both of the drawers you show as you installed the pulls, starting at 22:07. You can see this at 22:09 and 22:13.
@@ericpowell5803 ahhh…you are correct! I just looked again. They were added right around this time. It’s always one of the last steps for me in most builds. Sort of a convenience process I use.
