  • I saw Jimmy Diresta make his massive dovetail bench and knew immediately that I had to give that a try. I've only made dovetails a couple times in the past, and they were for small boxes. This was my first time attempting massive dovetails. Thank you for the inspiration Jimmy! See his video here:
    • ✔ DiResta's Cut: Dovet...
    Those slabs weigh about 130 pounds each, hence all the drama with picking them up! I harvested the wood from my farm and milled it on my Norwood sawmill. I plan to show some more sawmilling in future videos. Let me know in the comments if that would interest you. Enjoy the video! Voiceover version available to patrons on Patreon!

    Thank you for this awesome video! I love seeing folks step away from the need for all dovetails to look the same and show mistakes!

    I noticed the contour that he had cut on the legs. I thought that it was just look pretty. Then, upon install, I see he actually matched the existing baseboard trim! And did an awesome job to boot! And the glove tricks! Awesome!!!

    So many things to like in this build and a great tribute to JD! I especially like the rounded ends on the dovetails and pins, the stain / oil to make the grain pop and most of all how well you scribed in that magnificent skirting board. Thanks. cheers, David

    I really like the bench build. And thank you for the tip about putting the brush inside your glove to stop it drying while you wait for the next coat!!! I'm a bit annoyed with myself, I mean how blooming obvious, it will stop me having to find plastic bags from now on!!

      you used sanding disk to rub on danish oil.??? never seen that, why?

    • @FarmCraft101
      @FarmCraft101  Před 7 lety +9

      That and more details in the voiceover version for my patrons! ;-) Sanding the danish oil in mixes sawdust into the oil and fills the pores. This being white oak which is very porous, the end result is a smoother finish. Thanks for watching.
