Consistency - It is amazing to me how prolific you are with not only your videos but the type of work you do. Quality of both are amazing. You must never sleep.
Thank so much! Yeah, I try to be pretty consistent 😉 haha. In all seriousness, I have another full time job. So it is quite a grind to make these videos and projects. So I really do appreciate the positive feedback.
Love the texture in the drawers. But more so, the contrast. I'm a big fan of contrasting woods. Some people don't like it, but it sure appeals to me. Great build my friend.
Your furniture design and execution is top notch. Really like all the little details like the textured drawer fronts and continuous grain across drawers and doors. I appreciate that your channel focuses on quality furniture builds that are well produced and not a bunch of tool reviews, etc. Been watching your videos for a while and. I look forward to more content from you.
Thank you! I love the details and design side of woodworking. Sure tools are great but I enjoy using them more and letting the work speak for itself. I’m happy to have your feedback and support. Cheers!
Contrast is the only right answer. It looks so good here! You did a hell of a job with this project. I am always amazed by how much detail you incorporate into your projects and this one was no exception. I’d love to get a plan for the router jig. Thanks for making woodworking videos for woodworkers, keep it up!
Contrast definitely. Wow! That piece looks amazing. I feel the continuous grain on the doors and drawers is what makes this look so well done. Some people like to stare at paintings, while I like to look at fine furniture pieces. This is essentially a piece of art. I really love the textured drawer faces. That jig you used seems so simple! Also, yet again this video felt like 5min. I feel you've really refined your pace and information given for your last two videos.
Thank you man! Yeah, I look at furniture and much the same way. So I really appreciate your feedback. And thanks for noting the pacing. I’ve really tried to focus on that in the past couple videos. Thanks as always for the support!
Contrast! Sooo good dude! This is a masterpiece (both the videos and the project). I have really enjoyed watching you over the past two years. Your channel is easily in the top 5 woodworking channels. Thanks for sharing real woodworking for real woodworkers.
Love the out of sight out of mind never had a spider disappear into the lumber rack comment. One day I saw a black widow spider in corner of garage near door. Next day, it was gone and lumber rack is near. For two years, I kept looking to see it; no luck.
Kaaahnnn!(trast) - Another amazing piece and a great video of the process. I can't believe how much you build and how much content you put out while having another job, very well done!
Contrast for sure, Absolutely an amazing piece your attention to detail is so amazing you Sir are a true artist and craftsmen always look forward to your videos and your sense of humor . Keep up the amazing work.
this is the first video of yours that I've watched. very reminiscent of Four Eyes videos. camera work, story telling, humor, and clarity are all top notch. I think you're definitely going places with this channel :)
Contrast - It doesn't have to large amount of contrast example - a maple box with walnut splines. that little bit of contrast takes it to another level.
Consistency. This is only the second video of yours that I have watched. The first was part 1 of this build immediately before watching this one. I appreciate that you don't come across as a shill and mention brand names for every product or tool you use. You have a new subscriber, and I'm now heading down the rabbit hole of your back catalog of content. Keep up the great work!
Nope, just a real deal here haha. I hope you have a good time going through the catalog a lot of there’s a lot of fun projects. And welcome to the channel!
Hi, I accidentally saw your video which was presented in a reaction video from a german woodworker. Congratulations for this exact work and the great idea for this furniture (sorry for my english, I am from Bavaria). Best regards!
Consistent contrast - great build. Ill be interested to hear if you have a problem with wood movement. The height of each door looks roughly 30 inches or so and i would guess during the summer they may start binding. But maybe not!
Thanks! I have a few hardwood sideboards I’ve built over the years, and all have large doors. So far, so good. Now if I move to AZ or somewhere with more sporadic humidity it might be an issue. But really the most cupping I’ve seen is negligible across the entire panel.
Could you do a bit of a cameo on the way you get that scalloped texture on the draw fronts. I see how you use the router. But issues such as how deep, do you sand later and any other intricacies in the process. Thanks for a great video as usual.
Contrast but only up to as point and on simple looking pieces. I like that you really pushed it (my aesthetic) on this but it still really landed well.
First video of yours that have come my way and I’m impressed. Taste is personal whilst skill is universal. The piece has features I like (contrasting timbers and textured front) but others that seem a touch plain. But, so what? You make the piece for your taste and not mine. I’ve been woodworking for over 45 years and hope I know my strengths and weaknesses. I think my major weakness is on design. Not that I can’t think of designs but the reality seems different from my mind’s eye. Things like sketch-up would help but you can’t teach this very old dog new tricks like software. One suggestion. Late last year, the Wood Whisperer put out a video reviewing the options for 2 pack hard wax oils. Now. Like you, I really like the effect of HWO. It adds protection but maintains that natural look. So, I was interested. The winner was Natura Onecoat which was a product I had never heard of. I contacted the makers who said that it had only been launched in the US recently and was not in the UK (where I am) yet. But, they kindly sent me a sample. Wow. It’s by far the best 2 pack HWO I’ve used. Everything from the design of the can (reducing spillage, skinning over etc.) to the buttery nature of the mix. And it goes so far. I had recently installed about $30,000 of European oak in my house and all of it was finished with Rubio smoked oak. How I came to know that product. From the repeated skinning over of product which led to so much waste to its coverage. This Natura would have saved me a lot of time, money and contributions to the swear box. From looking at Amazon US, it’s also much cheaper than Rubio. So, it seems that these Natura guys are onto a winner.
Thanks for the information! I hadn’t heard of Natura before but I will definitely check it out. And I agree, design is subjective so it will never please everyone. Prior to using SketchUp I have only been using it for a year), I just used my sketchbook and notes. But SketchUp has helped a ton.
Contrast. I'm curious why you didn't use some kind of mechanical fastener, such as brad nails or staples, to reinforce the rabbet joints in your drawer boxes. You obviously don't have an aversion to using mechanical fasteners where appropriate, so why not on the drawers? It's a very nice build and you should be proud of it. Nicely done.
I’m not a huge fan of using mechanical fasteners, so I use them as sparingly as possible. With the support system, I didn’t really have much of a choice, so it is what it is. But I didn’t really need them in the drawers boxes because I had the clamps and time. That said, if I was in more of a rush, I would’ve used pen nails. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Contrast can be good but symmetry is more important to me so that one drawer at that level would have a high percentage chance of driving me nuts. The texture looks really good even though it’s just on the drawers.
Consistency - as it applies just to that drawer face. Someone below compared it to the car with one primer fender... just my aesthetic sense. That said, the oak/walnut contrast everywhere else is amazing, and I totally love the textured drawer fronts. I'm so going to steal that idea. The spider joke was good - in my shop, I let the spiders kinda do their thing. In return, they keep the gnats and flies (here in VA) under control, and also donate awesome wood dust catchers... the webs. They tend to leave me alone.
Yeah, the drawer fonts as a whole add a lot of character to the design. And I’m in VA, most of the spiders leave me alone but there’s occasionally one that pops up out of the blue and vanishes just as quick haha.
Thanks! Haha, yeah I played with that idea but ultimately just went with one drawer to balance the look of the sliding doors. When it was every other drawer I think it looked too matchy matchy.
Contrast for sure. Just an amazing piece, wow. Curious if you are worried that overtime those threaded holes will loosen/lose the threading with seasonal movement?
Thanks! And great question. I’ve used wood threads on a bunch of pieces now and have never had a problem. Plus the added glue should go a long way in preventing any issues. And the counter gain runs in the opposite direction so there won’t be any movement pushing outwards.
Contrast :Let's go eagles 😢 Philadelphia in the building (noticed on the drill press logo although we lost). I normally use a flex shaft for the textures do u need to sand when using the router for the patterns on the front drawers?
Go birds! Though yes, it was a lackluster finish of the season. Anyway, I do a real light sanding with 220 just to knock down any high points but the bowl bit leaves a smooth finish.
You need some of the track saw tools that do provide accuracy, except they are really expensive for what they are, and like you, I already own the table saw.
Looks nice. However I foresee a problem with using such a wide piece of solid wood for the doors. With an increase in humidity, the doors will swell, and with such minimal reveals will end up binding top and bottom. The doors may also warp with changes in humidity. Best bet is to saw your own veneer on that nice bandsaw you have and veneer the doors, and you can do it so that they are still sequence matched with your drawer fronts. Leave the drawer fronts solid( obviously since they are carved). Quite a bit of work but worth it if you don’t want your client returning the piece to be remade(speaking from experience on that latter part). Cheers
Thanks! Yeah, I’ve made a bunch of pieces with doors that are large panels with no issues. I could have used the vacuum press and veneered the doors but again the relative humidity in my area is about the same year-round. Now if I were to ship this piece to Arizona or Hawaii, sure there could be some issues. But you’re right in that a MDF substrate would ensure things stay flatter no matter the area.
CONSISTENTLY CONTRASTING!! Get it, get it?!?!!? Oh I kill myself.... The TV Static seltzer water flavor joke I think is the BEST one you've ever dropped!!! All joking aside Shane I think this one hits my TOP 3 favorites. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Contrast! Consistency is boring, plus it ties the base to the top cabinet in a fun way... esp love the way the woods contrast but the texture is consistent across the drawer faces.
Contrast. Of course. This is honestly a very beautiful piece. One comment from a keyboard warrior: threads in wood is a recipe for disaster. I would have made a dovetail rails, you don't even need glue.
Thanks! I can understand the hesitation but I have used cut threads on a few dozen projects now and haven’t ever had an issue. And if worst comes to worst I know a guy that can fix it. 😉
Having a spider disappear in the woodstack is ok here i Sweden. Guess you got nastier spiders. And then ther is folks like PaskMaks that has a snake big as a firehose in his shop and is perfectly chill with it. They're just a different breed down there.
I’ve had excellent results with cutting threads numerous times now. I have zero concerns there. Not to mention the supports are also glued to the base.
Contrast. Do you have any small project ideas that you've done to practice new woodworking techniques? I have trouble coming up with project ideas when I don't have anything I NEED to build.
Yeah, I actually have a few videos on the channel of small projects that use mostly scraps. Check out the two woodworking projects for gifts videos for some small weekend projects.
Consistence/contrast. Great build just do not understand why only one drawer front was different. Just my opinion which of course doesn’t matter, but I would have done every other one or none.
Thanks! The drawer front helps balance the contrast of the upper sliding doors. I played with doing every other but then it felt a bit unbalanced. So it was an intentional design choice.
Consistency. But it's close. My initial response is that the single contrasting draw gives me "car with one primer fender" energy. But the more I look at it, the better I like it.
I admit to some confusion. What is the "lie" that is being told? While I admire how skilled you are; I don't see that this or the preceding video debunks any "lie" perpetrated by others to woodworkers generally. The title seems a little disparaging of other woodworker videos that also reflect, in my opinion, a great deal of skill and the information they provide has proved useful to me numerous times. They were not "lying" and nothing in this video demonstrates otherwise. I admit, I clicked on this series because I was curious what "lies" were being told; but in the end I have to conclude that the clickbait title has nothing whatever to do with the content of the video.
I think a lot of woodworkers get overwhelmed by all the nonsense of RU-vid and social media in general. I have a different agenda in that I think woodworking videos should be about the woodwork, not trying to sell you something. I'm sorry if you feel duped in that regard but hope you learned something and enjoyed it along the way,
