The magic of wood glue is that it behaves the same as lignin, it's similarly flexible and stretchy, though its adhesion is much higher. It also shrinks so after a bit it has a bit of self clamping action, though that doesn't quite work at first when it's still very liquid, at first the shrinkage can cause it to separate instead. Epoxy... well that's a stress riser. No, epoxy doesn't fail through its volume, but it can cause everything around it to. It's not going to, by all reason, not in this instance, but there's a reason why PVA is the standard wood glue and epoxy isn't.

"Well, perfection is a figment of my imaginatio..." Well I got news for you. It came out perfect to me. And it should, with all that "finessing" you do. You may not see it that way but I think you have already bacome a master of your craft. Looking forward to more!

The real criminals are the bullshit prices wood is and quoting 12k for such a wood panel job 😂

I really enjoy your vids. Educational and entertaining. Thanks for bringing quality to CZcams

Beautiful and detailed work. I wonder with age if the colour will show. Really impressive

@2:53 you DID NOT just try to clear that waste piece with your fingers, DID YOU? WTF were you thinking? Otherwise, beautiful project!

The attention to detail on layout and also making it all offsite and it working on instal is very impressive! Most would be whacking board up, and adding the slats on site and filling holes for sure! including me 🤣

That looks fantastic! I would have loved to see the installation in that very precise space. Great work as always.

Talk too much

@woodgears watching how you didn't use his pantorouter.

Congratulations. Producing a piece with patience and thought is a luxury it seems but shows ethics. If you want to be remembered in life, not a bad way to go. 😊

Good Lord, dude… that was PERFECT!

Absolutely stunning, will steal the panel design to put on the ceiling of my campervan 😊

Thats just beatiful. Superb results and great video.

0:10 No shit. That is actually affordable.

Very nice build. So many mortises. I'm wondering if you did it again, would you go to a Domino? And finding that zone where you can be "in the moment" makes woodworking really amazing. Not sure if doing the video set ups was part of that process, but the shelf AND the video were terrific. It works if you work it, so work it, you're worth it.

Beautiful piece, man! Nice work! I particularly like seeing woodworkers using hand tools for fine work - I’m a tech junkie and I get lazy often and throw money at expensive tools when I could just take the time to get more proficient at the craft of using hand tools. I feel like you got the balance pretty well with this project. Really enjoyed the video. 👍

Sweet Baby Jesus, where did you get that tiny blower?!

That's great 👍👍👍 Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Amazing project! Thank you for showing the way you made mistakes and how to repair them. And thank you for not showing us casino ads 😉

Beautiful work !! It looks very 'at home' in that space. Love your [video] production as well - the music at the end was spot on! Thanks for the presentation.

29:52 talk your client into wrapping the corner with oak, stopping the base like that looks like gak. The edge of the oak is already visible on that wall plane and it'll tie everything together, match the door trim reveal or something like that. Or, just chalk up the W and move on to the next project.

Somehow missed this one on my binge of your channel. WOW! What an impact! These beams really bring the space to life and that last shot shows them off so nicely!! Beautiful work!

You have amazing videos. I love your attention to detail when making your projects. I appreciate the fact that there is no swearing and u give amazing detail. I wish I could win the lottery to come visit your shop. Keep up the amazing work

Can’t think of a mean comment 😁. This was inspiring and satisfying! Thank you for sharing.

Surprised you bothered with a mask for painting after raw dogging mdf

I enjoyed your shelf project using with hickory. I completed a 8Q hickory bench (6' long X 19" wide). All total, it probably weighed proximately 240 lbs. At nearly 80, this was my first-time using hickory on such a large project. Lost's of lessons learned. I had no problem cut the joints with my track saw. However, without a jointer, I used my 1960's Craftsman 4" belt sander to get the surface flat.

How did you attach it to the wall?

Corey, thank you doing it the right way, even if it’s more difficult. That’s the best I’ve ever seen red oak look…I need to spend more time with the selection process. Turned out spectacular as always. Also, thank you for the stickers…much appreciated!!

Super dry fitting and pre finishing helps a lot.

beautiful, well done!

I don’t often write commentary on woodworking videos since I view videos in this category as tutorials, sort of. And in doing so I have to assume or give the benefit of the”he must know more than I do to create this video” and so like a good student, I absorb information, be it technique, machinery use, or whatever. This was my first video you’ve produced and for the first time I don’t feel stupid or under skilled because you shared a couple of your fails such as cutting by hand and the router taking a chunk out of a tenon. What made me press the subscribe button is your way of explaining and the calm in your voice. You don’t dictate, talk down or “teach”. Instead you experience along with your audience, or at least that’s how I perceive your style. I loved how you highlighted a mistake in the making in the offset of a board and showed how to correct it and why. Highly effective. I’m sorry if I’m gushing. If I am it’s because I’ve watched many, many, MANY, oh so many videos by so many makers with differing styles of presentation and almost all of them, regardless of how humble they present themselves to be, they still sound like total douches, and the bags they came in! You offer no pretense. You didn’t show off fancy chisel work or insist one technique over another as being true woodworking vs cheating. That was a reason I hit the subscribe button, along with I found myself attracted to you as well. No not in a sexual way, silly man. You come across as someone with whom a cup of coffee would become an unbridled deep dive into any topic we decide to pursue. I mean, we do share woodworking in common, right? Granted you work in a real life scale and I in the miniature. I make tiny boxes containing hundreds and hundreds or individual pieces of different colored exotics such as Purple Heart, canary wood, black walnut and curly maple. Anyway, sorry for the fanboy style of this comment. My philosophy in life is if you see someone beautiful, tell them. They may not see themselves as such and you’ll give them needed confidence and a better outlook. Paying it forward isn’t too hard and paying a compliment to someone who has improved your life in any way, well, it can only do good. If they’re not receptive immediately and reject you, that’s ok, because quietly they will appreciate your words. And in that spirit, thank you. This video has helped me gain insight into my own work in philosophy and in the understanding that anyone and everyone can and do make mistakes. How you deal with it is what makes you a good woodworker and a good designer. One question I have is near the end while you summarize the video, you say something about sobriety. What do you mean by that? Is it a reference to a former life of substance abuse you’ve overcome or are you using it as an analogy? If literal, then congratulations on your continued success in sobriety. I wouldn’t have judged you if you still used though I suspect you wouldn’t be making videos of such a high standard. If as analogy, then it’s brilliant. Giving your audience a reference for being focused on the moment and to enjoy the process rather than getting through it. That alone will help so many find success in all facets of life if they’re smart enough to apply it as such. Thank you once again. You are a great presenter, I’m sure a good guy, humble, down to earth, and I’m sure a master of your craft though you try to not sound superior. Great job. May you find the success you seek in all ventures. May God bless, Peace Oh, PS, my name is Saro, I live in New Jersey (it’s not as bad as media would have you believe. It’s actually pretty great) and I work out of my garage. Figure you should know where your fans are.

Stupenda

That is a lovely piece.

Your patience, presence, and enthusiasm are just the inspiration I need to get busy, and I admire your focus on, well, focus--a skill and value in wide decline. There are times I regret not making more art in my day to day, but your approach to this project reminds me just about anything I do can be an artistic journey, including raising children, making my bed, or writing a meaningful thank you letter. My first video of yours, and I'm a new subscriber. Also walking the path of sobriety, which was the start of everything good in my life, today, so I'm happy for you.

Nicely done !

To check the self-center drill bit is it from a particular brand or general from the big-box store. Thank you

Amazing job love the way it turned out and looks in the house when you finished it. Keep up the amazing work

Who would pay six thousand five hundred dollars for a wood slat wall ? I just do not get it.

AHEM ! "cost" , not "costed" This is a slam, so, as you said, you love it. You sounded stupid. I thought, "Oh, he's stupid."

Totally Awesome!

Good video worth learning,thanks

Nice. And the Hickory even looks nice, Ive seen it before and I didn't like it but this hickory you used really looks good.

Modern Masochist Woodworking 😂

Hickory is an incredible wood, this is probably my favorite project

I love how you showed making of the jig. There is so much art to doing that and I don’t think it gets enough credit in these types of videos.

This project was super easy, barely an inconvenience.

What a gorgeous piece!

Просто пипец. Из таких простых вещей делаешь сенсацию. Деградация.

i dont understand how you can spend so much on custom millwork, yet your house has all the cheapest electrical covers. Some screwless light and plug covers go a LONG way.
