I don't remember specifically but it was either Tried & True Original or Tried & True Varnish, either way if you're looking for a really nice natural finish both will work very well.

@@morganhurst_redridgethanks! Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

I've been doing it for a while now and I always love that little bit of detail on the front edges. Kind of an artistic and functional touch!

Thanks!

That's awesome, this was one of my favourite projects and I'm sure you'll enjoy the process!

It is, and it's by far one of the best hand tools I've bought!

By adding those mechanical slides, it actually increased the value to the customer because while traditional drawers can work well these mechanical soft close slides make the dresses easier to use.

@@morganhurst_redridge thanks for taking the time to reply, most don't. earned yourself a new subscriber. i will not debate the ease of use, it's personal preference i guess. though i will argue that a quality, piston fit drawer is pretty easy to use. two things bug me about mechanical drawer slides in custom, high end furniture. 1. they tend to rack the drawer a bit if you don't close exactly on center (saw that in a few of your shots too), and 2. something about wood and metal just does not appeal to me. all that above notwithstanding, this is a beautifully designed and built set. there's a reason the customers love it, it's gorgeous and very well made. what's not to love. should last them a lifetime (minus the slides ;).

When I get into the next project, I'll do a video about the process. I don't really have a single process I use, there's alot of different factors about a piece of wood that help me decide what tools to use. Sometimes I can get stuff done fast with machinery, other times the pieces require some work by hand, and every once in a while I just want to try something different.

Those videos will still be coming out, I'm just very limited on time right now so doing the smaller ones let's me continue to put out content between those big videos.

I honestly have no idea, I just borrowed it from my mom for the photos.

Sounds like it would be pretty cool, the only thing you would have to plan for in your design is wood movement and make sure your attachment points aren't going to move around on you.

@@morganhurst_redridge so true with normal wood, but quality plywood might negate that problem.

I didn't realize kreg made a new version, I guess I'm not the only one that had that complaint about the other model!

that planer is real nice but i could not tolerate how loud it was, got a makita instead. More expensive and narrower but quieter.

Thank you very much!

Figured I should put that part in the video, I was definitely a bit surprised how well those paint lines came out!

Thank you very much!

Thanks 😀

Here's the amazon link for the hard pad, amzn.to/3Xq8bdt Just look for the Bosch packaging and you'll know they're the right ones. I've also found them at a few local tool store too.

@@morganhurst_redridge Thanks! 🙂

Thanks!

Just follow the link in the description of this video and you can find the free plans on my website.

Most tanneries get their hides from the meat industry as a way to reduce waste. Even if you are an adamant vegan, you should still support the craft of leatherworking because it makes use of an item that would otherwise be wasted. Maybe get out of your basement and touch some grass...

@@morganhurst_redridge Why are you insulting me? I was respectful to you. Perhaps you are insulting me to distract yourself from thoughts and feelings that you are unwilling to process. This is how people usually deal with their vast cruelty. There are better ways than just shoving it down and pretending you don't feel anything at all. You're going to claim you don't feel anything, but then why did you feel the need to attack me on a personal level? It betrays your inner conflict. Instead of telling vegans how to be vegan, maybe do a little research into actual animal ethics.

Thanks!

Hopefully!

That's one of my goals going forward, there's a lot of different things I want to try, the hardest part is finding the time to learn them!

When I was making it, I was sure it was going to get super beat up too, but after a year of use I'm actually very impressed by the shape it's in. There's a few dents and dings from putting the hand planes in but nothing that takes away from the overall look of the box!

Thanks, it's definitely a bit of a work out when I need to move it around!

It's a combination of General Finishes Dark Brown Dye Stain and Minwax Java Gel Stain

I would say that's one of the hardest things to learn because as soon as you see a thinner piece of wood it just looks weak!

@@morganhurst_redridge You are right. We should trust looking at pieces made before. I show my students drawers and carcases made 100 years ago, and how delicate or rough the joints might be. Furniture repair & restoration teaches us so much. Including where pieces break, grain direction etc.

That is a great solution, I didn't think of that!

Sorry these aren't my plans, you could try reaching out to Tanner at Claridge Leather but I believe he only supplies the plans in imperial.

I've been thinking about that! I'm not a huge fan of wearing aprons but a nice leather one might get me into it!

Same cameras but I've been playing around with the settings a bit, does it look better or worse?

@@morganhurst_redridge way better looks amazing

I have been called the Eminem of woodworking!

Thanks, it was definitely a very exciting moment when I realized the wood grain would show through the paint!

I was wonder if I would get a comment about this, so I did my research! The important thing to understand is both the type of paint I'm using and the application method. For the paint, I'm using an 0 VOC water based enamel and then using an HVLP sprayer for the application. The paint itself doesn't have any toxic vapors or fumes and spraying with HVLP doesn't introduce anything toxic in to the process. When spraying with HVLP, your vaporizing the paint into very fine particulates that may or may not attach to the wood. So all I need is to do is prevent myself from breathing in those paint particles which these 3M P100 filter are rated for. If you look at my recent video where I painted a handplane with my airbrush, I use oil based Rustoleum paint. While spraying that paint, I swapped out the filters on my mask for ones that would block the harmful vapors that come from that paint.

@@morganhurst_redridge oh good to hear you're on top of it. Thanks for the video again.

Exactly, the trim just makes it look nice!
