    Quality work 👍
    I always liked how slat walls looked then built a prototype for myself and quickly realized that having it behind the TV messed with my eyes, I would "blink" the stripes 😂
    Basically, looking at the TV with the slats in the background leaves the impressions on your eyes, almost hypnotic.
    So I decided on not having a slat wall behind the TV, moving forward I would only put them in a transitional area or accent wall BEHIND the main eye view where you're not always looking at it.

    With all the equipment you have, you should add a power feeder. Makes ripping long boards a breeze. It will save your arms and possibly your fingers. It will also prevent saw blade nips when you stop ripping a board to reposition your grip. Best investment I've made when I built all of the millwork and cabinets for our new home build. You can also move it to your jointer. Just position it on the outfeed. I used mine as well on my router table. I have a 1/4 HP feeder but a 1/2 HP works better for long wide hardwoods.
    I bought and assembled a magnetic hold down from MagSwitch for my feeder, so you don't need to drill holes. This only works for cast iron table saws and jointers since the sheet steel of portable contractor saws is too this for the magnets to take hold and stay put.

    • @FortressFineWoodworks

    • @bobbray9666
      @bobbray9666 Před 18 dny +2

      @@FortressFineWoodworks If you're not demonstrating proper table saw techniques, I don't think anyone cares to see a board being ripped more than once.
      You don't need to install a riving knife on your saw when using a feeder since kickback can't happen. The feeder, at worse, would stop feeding and then you can insert a wedge to get it feeding again. I'll use my feeder on any board more than 4' long. The magnets make it easy to slide the feeder into position and lock down. The Magswitch Power Feeder Mount is $819 now regular price but it provides over 1700# of break away force. I see a prototype listing there too for under $500 that has the same hold down power. I have no relationship with MagSwitch but their stuff is really useful.
      If you make a lot of stuff a power feeder is the best accessory investment. No feather boards, no riving knife or Clear Cut fence hugging wheels are needed. The safety aspect is huge, unless you throw your back out trying to lift a 100#+ feeder!

  • @SpringHaIo
    @SpringHaIo Před 23 dny +3

    I gleaned quite a few new tips and tricks from this video. Particularly cutting larger pieces for easier gluing and just cutting them down afterwards. The chamfered front edge of the cabinets really lightens the design and the inset pulls don't detract from that either. I've been using ash lately because it's just a little more expensive than red oak, but has the color of white oak and bit tighter grain.

    If I could have done a WOW instead of a thumbs up I would have so I will do an OMGOSH! I am thriving to be a very precise woodworker and finding your channel is just what I needed to see. I LOVE THAT you take A LOT of time showing up close detail and explaining in detail. Some videos just kinda tell you what they did but don't really get close up enough or really show exactly what they did. I ESPECIALLY like how you explained to stop your router before you get to that outside corner right before the handle. I WISH SO much that I had a planer that was that wide. That would be awesome. I only have the DeWalt DW735. I also liked the tip to put water on the crack before you put the glue in there so you won't have glue stain. The Blue Painters tape was a good tip too when you don't want the glue to seep out onto the inside corners. I actually learned the hard way that Green Frog Tape is better and even though it's more expensive, I'll tell you why. I tested the two to see if the Frog Tape was any better than the Blue Painter's by putting each along the very bottom edge of white baseboard moulding and then a strip of tape right along the brown floor lining the edge of the floor so that it's perfectly aligned so when I spread my caulk along the bottom edge of the baseboard it will look really good. (Note: I wasn't adding shoe moulding). And even though I made sure that both tapes were pressed down tight. Sometimes, the Blue Painter's tape failed and let the brown caulk on the white baseboard the Frog Tape NEVER failed. So, by spending more money on the Frog Tape I would have actually saved time knowing I wouldn't have to go back and get the brown caulk off the white baseboard after I took the painter's tape off. Using the French Cleat system for the Back was genius! That made the cabinet really sit flat against the wall but also added strength to the holding power. I recently just bought the Dowelmax Jig and ABSOUTLEY LOVE it. After doing much research before deciding on which dowel jig I was going to purchase I bought the Dowelmax. Not only is it very well engineered but they have the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! I had to call them so many times because I had lots of questions on what pieces I really needed to buy and when I couldn't find an item on the website they helped me. It was also SO REFRESHING that a person actually answers the phone and you don't get an automated phone tree. I literally was on first name basis with this guy and he didn't rush me off the phone and was VERY patient. I love that you used dowels! They really are a great choice. All I really want to say is... I CAN'T REALLY SAY ENOUGH about how much I loved this video. I also actually liked when mistakes happened because you showed us neat ways to fix them and when you had the bug hole or the one spot where you had to put glue and wood dust. The project really did looked like White Oak when you were finished.

    Excellent demonstration of craftsmanship and cost control. Good to see that while you have high end Festool tools in your arsenal, you are also not averse to being practical and using Harbor Freight clamps (a ton of them!!!). To be fair, you should list them in your "Tools and Products I used", even if you don't get a "fraction of the proceeds". Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    Not sure about hardwoods such as oak, but I have had very good luck removing dents in my woodworking projects (Softwood) using copious amounts of STEAM from my handheld steam cleaner (The type that is used for stubborn gunk in the house and car).
    I got mine on Amazon for about $45.

    Not something I'll be doing, but a beautiful wall. I know what you're saying cutting out for the electric boxes. Don't take much to mess those up. I'm thinking I might make our bathroom ceiling something similar to your wall build. Looking for a rustic look (so I can get away with some mistakes easier).

    Could not see if you did so, but you MUST install extenders for ALL of those receptacles and switches. Even if the screws are taped or you use push-in connections, you need to put a box-extender between the oak and the electrical equipment.

    You specifically reference the “added visual value” of the “pre-planned gapping around the door trim but it didn’t make it to the final product? I rarely ever comment like “one of those guys” but I specifically thought to myself how good the “gap” looked in your initial schematics and would appreciate the extra effort that it would take to insure proper spacing ALL the way around the door. Seeing it missing from the top of the door in the final product was…disappointing. Don’t get me wrong, it is beautiful but I am just a stickler for the small details.
    Did you ever say how much it finally “costed?” 😂

    • @FortressFineWoodworks
      @FortressFineWoodworks  Před 20 dny

      I appreciate that. I actually modeled it with the gap on the top too, but it was too much. Yes, I mentioned it was $6,500

    I know "costed" is technically a correct past tense of "cost", but at least around where I live no one says it so it sounds really weird to me...
    That aside, great video. I have some upcoming work I want to do with white oak, so I might have to give it a try with red and try your tips!

    • @FortressFineWoodworks

    • @williamfrench9973
      @williamfrench9973 Před 18 dny

      It is actually incorrect in this context. If you were describing the estimation you did yesterday, costed would be correct. If you describing what an item cost yesterday (or previously), omit the “ed”. Super nit-picky I know. Some people are wood nerds, others (who are far less cool) are word nerds. 😂
