Duplex Reno | Part 3 - Kitchen
In this video series I share my latest project; converting a house into a duplex. The upstairs (unit 1) was renovated with a new kitchen, foyer and bathroom. All other rooms were re-painted, had their hardwood floors refinished and received new trim. The downstairs (unit 2) started with an unfinished basement and required everything from new bathroom plumbing to cutting through the foundation for an egress window. Follow along as I share my progress, mistakes and triumphs!

White Oak Bed Frame Build
zhlédnutí 11KPřed rokem
In this video I share how I built a queen sized white oak bed frame. This was one of a couple of these bed frames I have made over the past few months. The dowel joinery has proven to be very strong and the metal hardware makes disassembly and moving this bed frame simple and easy. While not shown, this bed frame has a fifth foot in the middle of the bed (middle of the central support beam). I ...

GREAT WORK . jACK AND BELLA . Please call Bella or Jack
How wide are those strechers? Nice build
The stretches are 60 inches wide but have that middle support so max is 30 inches unsupported.
Done by yourself, with very little help. Impressive :)
WOW! Awesome how you do such a professional job with ordinary tools. CONGRATULATIONS
Hey Cal....you never said anything about inspections....you went from wiring to drywall....did you get a permit for this? Additionally, where are you located? I would love to have you join my crew in KY!!!! Rather than place s plain 3/4" piece of wood on the threshold, I would have placed on that was equal to the subfloor, and continued my tile over to the wood floor. Suggestion...use a barn door to hide the washer/dryer.
Hey Kevin! Im in Ontario Canada. Inspections are done with the city and electrical work is permitted with an ESA permit (both of which I had). In my next videos (about the basement reno) I am going to go into more details about the permitting because it will show all the different inspections I needed from pre-construction to final occupancy. Haha thanks for the offer - next time I'm in KY I'll join you and your crew for a job! Appreciate the design tip with tiles right to wood and sliding barn door!
This is simply awesome!
Super satisfying! 😊
Nice job
Good work, and it is nice to see young people to do woodworking, keep going,
I like your dough/pasta board, I’m over here in Scotland, I generally make charcuterie boards. Mainly as a hobbie, but have been asked to make a similar board that you have made yourself. I also noticed that old Diamond Back Mtn Bike in your workspace must be a 90’s model with that paint design. Happy wood working.
Foureyes furniture build plans, right?
I didn't purchase the plans but loved the design so I replicated it as best I could!
Come do mine 😍😋
dont you just love when trades do that. 4 layers of roofing, 8 layers of flooring, 18 layers of paint etc. lol
Do you sell these? Where are you located? Very nice work!
Hi! Yes I sell these online and ship to anywhere in Canada. www.coopercreations.ca/
Hey nice video and even nicer bed! What was the bord thickness and leg thickness?
the boards are 1x10 inch thick white oak and also reinforced with 2x4s. The legs are 2x4 inch thick white oak
Looks great! Can you share the plans and what wood you used for this build?
No specific plans - My only constraint was the height and width of the cabinet. I used red oak (the interior shelves are 1/2 thick and the exterior is 3/4 thick.
How do you maintain it?
I recommend cleaning the board with a damp cloth after each use. Every few months you should add some mineral oil and beeswax (I sell board conditioner or any cutting board conditioner from Amazon works). This helps keep the wood from drying out!
Actually dimensions?
How do you only have 172 views? This is a really good video and the craftsmanship is impressive
Nice work. Simple concept which is nice. The idea of the dowel plugs is good. I am going to make one of these but change to 1" magnets.
Too sick!
Great video, loved seeing your process and the results. Absolutely beautiful work!
What a beautiful bed. A lot of woodworkers who are picking up the hobby get disheartened by not owning a table saw. You showed them that although the work would be a lot easier. There are other ways to get things done. I respect that. I’m my experience I’ve had a head board split because of wood movement. I had used dominos instead of dowels but the same theory applies. I would suggest what I’ve done to fix that issue. Secure it using dados cut from router. Use dowels on the top plank only and left the middle and bottom plank float freely. But hey, if it works. It works. You might not even experience this. But it’s good to know a work around I guess
Thanks! yeah having a table saw would certainly make things easier. Good point about the wood movement - I will monitor it to see how it moves through the seasons. I like the idea of fixing the top plank with dowels and letting the bottom ones slide in a groove (like a sliding dovetail dado). Il incorporate that in the next version!
Good workmanship, good video quality, and good results. Cannot ask for anything else. I get the impression that you would enjoy working with more hand tools. Have your thought about adding some planes or spoke shaves to your tools in the future. A small lottery win should give you all you need. A good woodworker to check out on what you need would be Rob Cosman on which ones to start out with.
Thanks Andrew! I have a small block plane which I use frequently! I have yet to invest in more hand planes (but I plan on it). I really enjoy Cosman's work and his workbench design with back tray and dovetail corners was inspiration for mine. At the time I didn't like the shoulder vise but when I make another bench I will include one. I will keep an eye out for some handtools. I think a spokeshave would have been very handy for this project.
@@calvin.cooper I have a large number of planes. If I could change things I would not have bought so many Lie Nielsen planes even thought IMO they are the best. IF you learn how to sharpen planes like Cosman most planes will serve you. Woodriver would be my top choice because they are not to expensive. Then Lee Valley's Veritas planes are close behind Lie Nielsen in quality. My last advise sir. Keep on woodworking.
I'm curious if the opposite gran direction of ends caused problems.
It does not. Im assuming your referring to wood expansion. The board is designed to allow the wood to expand through the seasons. The reason for the side peices on the ends is for aesthetics and helps keep the board flat over time.
You glued the biscuits that were cut larger in place, thus locking them in place and not allowing the wood to expand.
Man this is awesome, keep it up
Calvin this may help you. czcams.com/video/l9fqCJ5kJiA/video.html
Can the reverse side be used for a cutting board?
yes it can!
Your dimensions of your board? True cr aft a ship,,,
board measures 39 inches by 21 inches. Thank you!
@@calvin.cooper Thank you for promptly responding!!!, Truly beautiful!! I have been watching several l videos on pasta boards and your s shines!
Could you alter the dimensions to say 24”x36”. In my experience I roll the dough forward more than side ways. Therefore more depth than width would make sense
@@lauratempestini5719 Yes. the board can be build to any dimension
Mr. Cooper from where did you purchase the pre grooved tongue and groove wood pieces?
I got them from one of my local hardwood suppliers: The Woodsource
Well Done!!!!!!! and great that you changed your socks twice 😋
Is the glue toxic? What type of glue do you use?
I use Titebond 3. It is waterproof and food safe
I live in USA NE state. Do you ship to USA? What type of wood?
Nice video and house update!
Very Nice. For info. I have used the same clamping method that you used, but to allow single pass of the router around the juice groove I just put a tall block under the 2x4 to raise it enough to pass the router! Thanks for sharing.
for the sides (lips) - what size board did you use? are they 2" Thick or did you stack/glue boards?
the part that sticks up (lip) is a 1.25 x 1.25 inch piece that is glued along the edge to allow it to catch on the side of the counter. I also used 2 screws hidden under some wooden dowels to hold it in place
Do you have a more detailed video and measurements as I would like to make this knife block
I don't have any measurements. This was a one-off build and the dimensions were based off what looked good/what material I had to work with
Beautiful Board!!
Great video. Slow down
Good job Calvin.
Oh how I need this pasta board!! Do you have a site that I could purchase one?
Hi! My website is www.coopercreations.ca/shop
Nice piece of work and your best video ever! Thnx!
Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏
I would suggest having the ice and water guard or some other waterproof membrane lap up onto the side of the house. You could also use a metal flashing sealed at the top.
Nicely done! 👍
What vise is that? Do you still like it? Bench looks awesome.
Thank you! It is a 9 inch front bench vise. It serves its purpose- it has tremendous grip strength and runs smoothly. My only complaint is if you clamp something on the side, it will rack slightly (the other empty side will be pulled in more making the vise face and bench no longer parallel. Here is the link for the vise: www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B078XSLZ3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. If you have the budget, I would go for a Sjoberg vise. They are very strong and probably the best front vise you can buy.
Nice work, music a bit loud compared to voiceover, but good work
Fantastic build! Appreciate both the aesthetics & workmanship. Also liked & subbed. P.S. If its not offending, could you consider not including a ton of background music and instead just keep the sound of the tools themselves? Voiceover is great, but the music fading in and fading out after each sentence is somewhat jarring to my brain :) Could just be me though!
Instead of the speeding up shots you could just edit the movie and show bits of what you were doing at that time. And there is some work with the camera angle to be done. Thanks for sharing.
Great build. I really like the style of video too. Nice to see a maker on CZcams doing a project with a realistic set of tools and the final product being just as good.
very nice bench! you do really good work!
Thank you!
Where do I place my order! This is great stuff
