Whelp. There it is folks. I didn't know if this one would work. But I think it does. I think. But if nothing else, it's a sweet little cabinet. And I'm never mad at a nice whiskey cabinet. Cheers.

    Sorry to be picky about term use, but you don't "introduce" tension by resawing.... the tension is already there in the wood, you just liberate it.

    I just ordered the Veritas after seeing this video. I’m new to mortise and tenon joinery and need it for my first project. I feel the LN and Veritas have that heirloom quality and the JKM maybe doesn’t have or hasn’t earned. That’s basically my rationale, that and the removable blade for sharpening.

    The 2x4 stamp is a little jarring for me on the drawer and I know that is the whole purpose of it but.... I would have used it on the back. Not to hide it but to make believe that you used 2x4 walnut studs! Treasures are to be found, not just given on the first date. Back looks very impressive too. Keep up the good work!

    In my day job making chairs and sanding literally thousands of seats and backs, I have found that using two stacked Mirka interface pads in between the sander and your discs makes an extremely high quality surface before finish. The two pads also let the disc spin more freely eliminating swirls.

    The thing I like best about this cabinet is that it isn't over the top. You did what I strive to do in my own work - let the wood speak for itself. And that 5% aesthetic you were going for? Nailed it. I just wonder, in a gallery environment, whether anyone will notice it, depending on how it is displayed.

  • @jamesondenhartog8109
    @jamesondenhartog8109 Před 20 hodinami

    Wait wait wait. Can you explain the brown paper technique? You glue the paper to the box and then the block to the paper? I did this recently and hot glued the blocks which worked okay until it didn’t. Not strong enough.

  • @charlesberesford3495
    @charlesberesford3495 Před 21 hodinou

    I watched to the end, and totally understand what you mean by the 5%. But I think you have "over thought" it. The name of the brilliant furniture maker who hammered a nail into the side of his amazing cabinet to make a statement about "over precious" cabinet makers ( me being one of them ) I thought was brilliant. I think your result would have been much more effective if you had been a little more subtle about it, a bit more in the " Biedermeier" traditional. This won't stop me watching your process 😊
