Ah, yes, that little air cushion!Soooo satisfying! I wanted to see a little brass engraved plaque next to the famous fissure, saying " San Andreas". Ideally, a flat-tip screwdriver should completely FILL the screw slot and the contersunk hinge- hole width. A little touch of candle-wax works wonders on brass screws PUSH the screw across the side of the candle,;that way, the wax is in front of the screw thread!I wanted to see the neighbours' reaction!!
I would love to be a fly on the wall when you give your neighbors that cabinet !! Their faces and reactions should be GREAT when they see what you've done !!
To think that wee tree started an Empire! 🌳 Seriously though, an hour and a half never flew by so quickly. I enjoyed watching you build this project and appreciate just how much thought and love went into it. As always the explanations of your design process and structural solutions are easy to understand, adding to my somewhat limited woodworking knowledge. Thank you Matt for the inspiration and education.
@@mcremona I know you are a little short on wood... But maybe you should connect with Jake from Guilty of Treeson to see if you can collect some of the trees he cuts down that's not local to your area.
I got so much pleasure out of this build as i'm sure your friends will as well. The complexity of the scotch will compliment the complexity of the cabinet. I can imagine how much fun that first sip will be!
Your videos are what originally inspired me to take up woodworking. I went fairly deep down the rabbit hole, designing and building furniture for myself, my friends, and eventually customers. I tried the CZcams thing as well for a bit, making a couple videos before falling out of love with the hobby and eventually selling all of my woodworking machines. I haven’t done any woodworking in 3+ years now, but I very much enjoyed this video, the same way I did years ago when you first introduced me to woodworking. Thank you for all the content you’ve created over the years, Matt.
That's great ..looks beautiful. I wish I had a walnut box for my grandfathers old colt pistol. Youd be the guy who could make it happen lol. Great video. God bless.
OK, so you were clearly building this when I met you at George's Makers event in Hammond. This is really nice, well done! The magnet catch is brilliant, thanks for sharing Matt!
Really enjoyed the making of this cabinet. The only two things I would’ve done differently are; 1. Make the shelf a floating shelf by drilling parallel holes down both sides and a recess round end mortises at the bottom of the shelf to locate it on nice chrome pins; which you can move to any level inside the cabinet. 2. Mount the door flush to the outer edge of the cabinet with hidden kitchen like soft close hinges to maximise that really nice epoxy finish and minimise the door frame to be the same thickness as the wood that used for the main sides of the cabinet. But, truthfully, I can’t really be disappointed with a man who drinks a 12yr old single malt Glenmorangie Whisky… Cheers.
I applied finish (Fornby's Tung Oil) to all 9 of the pieces I made for exactly the same reason as you. I didn't see anyway I could apply a finish assembled that would look the same. I've since then learned a great deal about finishing wood.
Holy Crap Matthew! That was simply amazing! I never enjoyed watching a project as much as yours in a long time! What a fantastic piece of carpentry mastery. Your neighbour will be so lucky to have a wonderful piece as this in their home. Well done Matt! Cheers! P.S. The little pully thingy and magnet were brilliant!
Cool finished beautiful project. One comment, with all the fire & smoke looking cabinet, instead of highland park whisky, it w/b more appropriate to have Islay peaty smoky whisky like Laphroig or Lagauvulin!!
Incredible, Matt !! What an awesome cabinet that you can certainly be proud of making !! Your neighbor will be so proud, having made this from a tree that once grew in their yard. Superb workmanship !!
Gorgeous project! I’ve taken old church pews apart and repurposed the wood for clocks. Named my projects “Sentimental Recreations.” Video does a great job of illustrating how much work goes into a relatively small handmade piece.
I started woodworking because I loved the smell of cut wood. After I started watching you, I developed that love of the look of wood with curl, ray flecks, etc. And for that, you made me a better woodworker.
Glad to see you back in the shop. Beautiful cabinet. I like your catch. I made a sideboard with magnetic catches years ago. I put the magnets in the top of the door frame before assembly and the matching ones in the rail of the opening. The one in the rail was about 1/8" further "in" and pulled the door slightly too far. A tiny stop held it just right. Completely concealed. I like the air cushion with yours. Magic. Thanks for posting.
Having only seen you slab a bunch of monster trees, I could see your clear reverence, joy and love for the beauty of wood. Now I've seen your remarkable skills as a cabinet maker and your lovely attention to detail that honors the wood. One question, why did you split into four veneers and add the plywood glue step rather than simply splitting out two solid panels? I'm guessing it is for greater dimensional stability. I could see doing it if you needed to swap an orientation for some sort of fancy book matching. But it looked like you glued them together into the same exact orientation that they started out in.
Fell asleep watching another video and this cued up in its entirety. So woke up and watched it again. Also watched it when it came out. Still enjoyed it third time around. Hope to see more like this. It shows the world the love and care we put into our craft. Cheers.
The cabinet turned out beautifully. Those panels from the tree provide an incredible touch of color. That they are from their tree just adds a real personal touch. Congrats on a piece well conceived and constructed.
Mr. Rogers is now my second best neighbor. Won't you be my neighbour? Beautiful concept and final product. You make it look so easy. I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. Hope to view some other projects from you.
Matthew, great job! I really enjoy how thoughtful you are in each step of the process.The wood is gorgeous and the joinery is pot on. I really like the idea of your handle and hidden magnets! I'm sure your friends will appreciate your thoughtful gift.
Your patience to deta is AMAZING!!! Not too many have the patience to build quality furniture like you do other than the Amish and Mennonites!!! Love your channel!!!!
..just love it. Nice to see you doing something with the wood, rather than just cutting slabs, or ripping your house apart!! Would be great to see a pic of it in your neighbours house..
Nice job. A few comments on variations of what you did. I would have rather used oak veneer for the B sides and made it double wide. This way all that work for the highlight pieces is not hidden. Whenever a lot of work goes into joints, try to expose the joint and not let it look like a butt joint. The catch could have been soaked and bent for the last inch or so at about 10-20 degrees. This leaves something to grab easier. The shelves need something to stop the bottles/glasses from moving. Perhaps a recess for the bottles. (too late for that) Maybe cork or shelf liner? There is a very thin rubber black material used for tool boxes that looks good. ps; I always used the thickness of a matchbook for clearance of the doors.
Absolutely gorgeous! One cool trick my old wood shop teacher taught us for door panels or raised side panels was to stick 2 small chunks of neoprene (we used old junk mouse pads or sanding pads) on each edge (1/8”x1/8”x1”) and do that for each panel joint. It gives it some squish so the wood can move around, it will never rattle and it won’t be too tight to avoid cracking.
There is a wood worker in Beorne Texas that I learned that you can more easily trim dove tails by spraying the wood. Thought that was a neat technique. I learned a new trick on doing dove tails. Dove tails are so neat.
Ended up over here from a John Malecki video where he mentioned you and that you're in Minnesota. Gotta support the MN wood workers so instant sub and I love the longer form videos. Keep it up!
I love the history, thought and concept that you put into this project. Whenever I do a project for someone special I think of them as I go. I believe that creates more of a personal piece, actually a piece of me as part of the gift. Anyone can buy something but it lacks soul. (Wow, am I getting too sappy?) Pun? Oh ya and your talent really shows through in this cabinet. What a beautiful outstanding project!
Beautiful and a very nice gesture. One question I have is how did you finish the shoulders of the door frame that the panel is recessed into? You showed how you finished the front of the door frame but that narrow shoulder that holds the panel in place you did show how you finished that without damaging the panel. And I really wish you had shown the expression on your neighbor's face when you gave this to them.

Beautiful!! Only improvement to the video would be to see your friends reaction when you deliver the cabinet. I’m sure they were overjoyed.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when you give your neighbors that cabinet !! Their faces and reactions should be GREAT when they see what you've done !!
I agree, he dropped the Ball,,,lol. Maybe on his next post
That’s exactly what I was going to comment 😁 That’s one of the best parts of a project IMO is seeing the reaction of the recipients of your gift.
To think that wee tree started an Empire! 🌳

Looks great, I hope you record the delivery. I have a log from my Dad that sat for about 40 years, red oak. 6 by 8 by about 5 feet.
@@joek511 It might be underwhelming; Hey, thanks. But that's good enough. It took time to build it and it might take time to appreciate.
I got so much pleasure out of this build as i'm sure your friends will as well. The complexity of the scotch will compliment the complexity of the cabinet. I can imagine how much fun that first sip will be!
Love the cabinet you made.

Thank you for those kind words, Kevin!
my favorite part of this video is how much that hunk of wood at 10 mins is in the shape of Minnesota with like one cut.
Wow. Great job. Just what I need another admirer to slow me down from working.
That's great ..looks beautiful. I wish I had a walnut box for my grandfathers old colt pistol. Youd be the guy who could make it happen lol. Great video. God bless.
I can tell you love it but the workmanship you're awesome
Matt, I was most impressed by your imaginagive use of, and placement of the magnets for the catches. Brilliant!
Thanks!
Been watching your videos for 3 years
Glad to see im not the only one pushimg down on that drum sander belt👍🏻😂
OK, so you were clearly building this when I met you at George's Makers event in Hammond. This is really nice, well done! The magnet catch is brilliant, thanks for sharing Matt!
It was already done by then 😄
Fantastic! Loved watching this build. Nice haircut BTW. Am I the only one who noticed it change halfway thru?

That is a beautiful little cabinet. You did well.
Spectacular result….. also great to hear the thought processes as they happened
Well done 👍. Are you giving the drink too 🤣🤣
That turned out beautifully! And the fact that it came from their tree just adds to it. What a great gift.
thank you!
Absolutely!
Air cushion ftw. Thanks for the inspiration Matt!
Can’t say enough how beautiful and thoughtful that cabinet is. Oh nice hair cut :)
Thanks!
A very nice gift with a lot on meaning.
I applied finish (Fornby's Tung Oil) to all 9 of the pieces I made for exactly the same reason as you. I didn't see anyway I could apply a finish assembled that would look the same. I've since then learned a great deal about finishing wood.
Lovely piece….and nice to see some decent malts in there.
i really like the shot with the transparent cyclone doing its thing in the background
such a artist. My father did woodwork and I thought he was detailed and a real craftsman. He would have loved this.
What a beautiful gift!
Love the shot of the thicknesser where we can see the cyclonic dust seperation.
Brass hinges use brass screws AND head them all. Looks very nice.
Fabulous. So much to say about this project. I notice in the timeline you haven't noted your haircut😄
Simply gorgeous. A class gift! Agree the catch is genious.
Charlie... I made it to the end of the video... Great work... Looks Great!

That cupboard is high art Matt. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Priceless gift made with a kind heart for a friend. Years of use and memories.
Do more of these you are obviously a great craftsman with a huge over dose of artist. Thanks for the education and entertainment. Be well. Roger in Ga
You have great skill with that chisel.👍
Absolutely love the magnets hidden in the wood! That is an absolute beautiful piece of craftsmanship! Fantastic job 👏
What a sweet and generous thing to do for a neighbour.

thank you, John!
That is an entelbucher! Beautiful dog.
WOW JUST WOW, OUTSTANDING! Regards Jim UK.
Brilliant and enjoy the relaxed approach.
Thanks for sharing this Matt! Absolutely the most beautiful "small" cabinet build I've ever seen, and I learned so much watching.
Thank you!
@@mcremona what type of band saw band
Lenox trimaster 1/2” 3tpi
What type of band saw blade for your mill are you using???

Exceptional ....... plus past history makes it special.... great project and I appreciate the concept and pointers I learned
Awesome to hear; thanks!
That is some lovely woodworking giving a well-built cabinet to house a couple of lovely scotch whiskys (Scottish spelling, note). Slàinte mhath.
I started woodworking because I loved the smell of cut wood. After I started watching you, I developed that love of the look of wood with curl, ray flecks, etc. And for that, you made me a better woodworker.
Beautiful, Matthew. Your neighbour will really enjoy his single malt even more now.
A very good conversation box cuz it's stunning
YOUR HAIR GROWS SOOO FAST

more than a sawyer. great work.
Nice work I like the haircut and shave
If you cut a hole in the door in the shape of a heart, the box is going to look like a John 100%.
It is your solemn duty to let us know how they liked it.
Love the 'Whale Scraper' haha. Matt it is always a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Cheers Matt. You are a master of your craft....
Thanks!
BEAUTIFUL JOB MATT!!!
You had a shave n a hair cut! Lol. Beautiful job on the cabinet. 👍
My dad always would say Bringing the mountain to Mohamet or bringing Mohamet to the mountain. Some pieces take a long time to figure out.
Your patience to deta is AMAZING!!! Not too many have the patience to build quality furniture like you do other than the Amish and Mennonites!!! Love your channel!!!!
Very enjoyable, inspiring and calming. And none of that ear protection, mask or gloves. It makes it seem all more real.
Absolutely beautiful !!!

Beautiful project. At first I did not see the beauty in that slab from their maple tree, love the way you got the panels to flow with the door open.
What a lovely gesture! Great woodworking!
Thanks, Matt.
