I like how you don't try to say what company makes each tool you use. I can't stand watching just commercials. Finally a woodworking video with only woodworking. Crazy concept huh? Nice job!
As some have mentioned, TY for keeping to what RU-vid used to be. Making how to videos & actual build videos are great! That's what I enjoy the most. Tips & tricks, reviews, tool pricing & comparisons & the whole new thing with the dumb ass "surprised", "wow", "omg" fake Thumbnails are getting to be extremely ridiculous, imho. So, thank you for keeping it real & sticking to WOODWORKING rather than a channel that is similar to what I used to watch back in the 80s & 90s late at night known as infomercials..... lol.
Hell yeah! I love woodworking and I’m happy to share my experience with you all. Thank you for watching and engaging, it makes it worth the time and effort. Cheers!
Pre-Glue. Damn dude, your work is so precise and detailed. I love how well you speak about your work too, your commentary and composition is top notch. As always, fantastic job and I can’t wait to see part two!
Thank you so much. Yeah I struggle with that part haha. I could be so much more over the top, but I feel like with every piece I’m getting more refined and I’m okay with that.
Post glue. Dude, that top cabinet is mind boggling. I like that you used plywood for the cabinets, white oak hardwood would make this thing weigh a ton! Really impressive stuff as usual, please keep up the hard work, it’s a real inspiration.
pre-glue. well done with all those angles. I appreciate you making the hardwood edge material rather they relying 100% on the the tape. Looking forward to part deux
Thanks! Yeah, I like the look of hardwood edge banding when I can make it work. It looks more natural to me. And numero two will be up next week so you won’t have to wait too long.
Yoooo Shane!! It didn't even dawn on me how involved this build is & it would need a part 2!! I was kinda like Oh snap what happened 😂 Looking forward to seeing it completed. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Haha, yeah man it got pretty lengthly. It honestly caught me off guard too when I was building it. I got about a week into it and I was like, wow, I have a ton of work ahead of me.
Mid-Glue…I did not watch any of this incredible cabinet build video at all. 😜 This is going to be an amazingly cool project, Señor Biscuit, and I can’t wait to see the final build/reveal. Awesome modern design!
Pre-glue whenever possible. Another thing I do is apply the edge bands onto my component parts before final cutting, rabbeting or dado-ing. I don't get mitered corners, but then again, I don't have to do rocket surgery math for compound miters, either. Lazy, maybe. But when all your joints look uniform across the piece, it starts to appear intentional. Another trick I do is to take a piece of scrap plywood, smoosh it between the fence and sawblade, and then tap about 1/64" fatter to cut the banding. I've makes the flush sanding fast and less risky in blowing through the .0000001" thick veneer. Yes, I hate plywood as well.
Yeah that’s definitely a good way to approach it as well. I do that with some pieces too, it really just depends on what the design dictates. And I agree, plywood veneer seems to be getting thinner and thinner.
Pre glue almost every time. Great project! I’m currently getting a lot of use out of my 1400 too. I’d be interested in your skip planing technique so I can compare notes. I don’t think I do it often enough as I’m afraid of wobbly panels.
Thank you! When it comes to skip planing I just make sure my boards are 90ish percent flat when I pick them out at the lumberyard, then just run the flattest of the two sides through first at a light pass then flip it and go all in. It works well most of the time with s2s lumber but occasionally I have a light twist to work out.
Pre-glue all the time. That cabinet's starting to look real sweet, man. Can't wait to see the final reveal! Was enjoying this video so much that 20 min felt more like 5 min. Consequently, I was confused why you're splitting such a "short" video into two until I looked at the time. 😂
Just a quick tip, I know you said you don’t pay attention to growth rings as long as you bought from a reputable source etc., then in the next scene you have the white oak with all those bows. Not a gotcha moment, just a heads up that If you check the growth rings there, and flip them every other, that should help balance out those bad bows and straighten it out a bit better
Yeah I had one board with a bow in it there but even without alternating rings the panel flattened out just fine. As long as you use dominos or biscuits you can generally flatten that out. I also like to hit my panels with a hand plane once they are glued up which is why I leave them a bit thick.
Pre Glue Sanding. Dude… how dare you leave me on a cliff hanger lol, when is part two coming out lol. Great job on this video, the narration and the build. It looks great so far, can’t wait for part two. I knew this would work😂🎉
Haha, I’m sorry! Part two is a bit longer than part one so it was just too much for one video. BUT, part two will be up on Friday, so you won’t have to wait for long. And thank you!
if I use dominos in a panel glue up there is a 100% chance I'm going to cut into a domino. It makes no difference if I plan ahead and mark everything. I swear those things move on their own.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! When it comes to edge banding I do it both ways, it really just depends on the project and how the parts are coming off the plywood sheet. Sometimes it's just easier to do them after the fact.
Pre glue! For interior parts. In some cases I'll apply finish to the interior before glue-up, it all depends. In my experience a compression bit leaves a great finish but depending on the diameter and cutting length the portion of upcut on the bottom will vary and this may be the cause of the tearout you're experiencing (the bit is not low enough for the downcut to actually engage the material).
Love every video you do! Are you watching TWW’s new sideboard series on his page. It’s one of his guild projects but he’s releasing it for free and it’s beautiful work.
This was fantastic. The explanation of *why* you *do what you’re doing* instead of the “I’m sponsored by so and so for these tens of thousands of dollars of tools you plebs cant hide from the wife”. 😂
did you look at any 20" planer options or only 15"? I'm in the same boat now, eying the 20" Oliver but wondering if the footprint (and added price) is worth it.
Yeah, I did actually and very nearly went with the 20” model but ultimately landed on the 15” just to save some space. Things are already pretty tight in my shop so I think for me it was the right choice but if I had more room I probably would have got with the 20”.
Enjoyed the video but am a bit confused around how you set up the router on the rail - my limited understanding is that the only one of the rail guides runs in the track and the other is used to fine adjust the width of the rebate or rabbit?
Pre glue where possible, it just plain looks spiffier! And about the Home Alone joke.....dude 😐 I appreciate a well executed dad joke or pun but that one was painful!
Pre-glue. Awesome build! How are you liking the woodpeckers sled? Do you feel it’s worth the money? Looks like you got the left and the right sled. Do you feel like you need both or just could do either one. If so which one? I’m strongly considering one is why asking. Thanks!
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah, this is the first real project I have used it on and it was really solid. I have other sleds, but those had very slight, manageable, variables. This one, does not. Every cut is dead on and square which is really important for the long miter cuts. I did get both, but if I had to choose one, I would get the right side so you can tilt the blade.
Unfortunately I haven’t had enough people ask for plans yet to make them. I usually only make the plan if there is a good amount of interest. But if I do, I’ll reply here when they are available.
Why do Americans find it necessary to talk constantly during their woodworking videos, for me and I believe a lot of other people it's distracting and takes away from the joy of watching a piece of furniture come to life,
Because woodworking asmr doesn’t help you learn anything about why or how they are doing something, especially when identifying and correcting or accepting a mistake or other issue. Like he said, if you can’t listen and watch at the same time hit mute and turn on some music that you because you know that if he didn’t talk you would either be whining about the music or the lack of music. @@TimberBiscuitWoodworks
Pre glue. It’s the only way. I’ll still do a little finis sand but running the grits on inside labels is too much of a pain in the ass. Love the design of this. Looks great.
