Here is a new video I made to see the rope jig featured in this video - czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
I am cabinet maker from 1989 .I really like your panel bonding technique.So simple and I see it works well.Great job.
Just made a video for the glue up jig - czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
I really liked the design of this piece. The ambrosia maple was a perfect choice. Great job!
+Erik Mallasch Thank you!
Looks good, exactly what want for my son..If only i had the tools and knowledge :)
I inherited a dresser, tall chest and pair of nightstands in this style. Mine is made of oak and is stained a cherry color and has a cabinet type kick plate(weird, I know). It’s taken a beating over the last 40-50 years and needs a new finish. Was scared to go a dark espresso but your color combo looks really nice. I’m inspired. Thank you.
Thanks! You should check out my newer videos too! I think you'll enjoy as well 😊 czcams.com/video/fSti_NYbQek/video.html
That looks great! I love the techniques used. It is kind of like a mix of traditional Japanese woodworking with modern tools.
Thanks Marlon! I LOVE Japanese woodworking. That's where I got the idea for the burnt fronts :)
If you love Japanese wood work, have a look at The Samurai Carpenter's channel, he makes beautiful pieces like you.
Dude....the gluing technique....that was insane...this whole time I am been trying to look up diy clamps...mind blown!
+muneer24 glad you enjoyed it. I'll be making a video for that glue up jig very soon, since there's been a lot of interest about it. I'm moving into a shop space this week where I can start making more videos. Stay tuned!
TG Woodworking thanks! I look forward to it! :) keep up the good work and also you should make a time lapse if you setting up your shop! :)
muneer24 thanks, good idea. I might try that
Hey, I just made a video for that rope jig, here you go! Also, working on the shop setup timelapse ;)
czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
Burned drawer front are a nice touch, really beautiful contrast with the clean look of the maple.
If your camera has an hdr mode, i'd suggest using that to shoot your timelapse sequences, as it will eliminate the sudden jumps in brightness when a darker object enters the frame. (like you working in front of the camera)
Thanks, I'll do that! Just got a new one
I love your design! thanks for upload your work.
Thanks!
Man amazed just how cool wood working is. Great video!
Awesome work. This just gave me the idea to create something like this to store my electric guitars.
god damn! I'm gonna sell all my shit, buy all the home depot tools department, leave my wife and devote my life to try to be half the kick-ass boss this dude is. Shiieet. May the sweet Lord baby jesus forgive me for the useless piece of shit of a man that I have grown to be, but that ends now! Shiiiet! Awesome job dude.
Hilarious. Go get it!
LOVE the contrast of the light and dark. I'm very intrigued by shou sugi bai, think that's it. Gotta try it out, and different lengths of burn for different effects. Great work!
I'm going to build a dresser. I really like this one. Nice.
Thanks! Hope it's going well! Be sure to subscribe and check out my other videos. You may also like this - czcams.com/video/fSti_NYbQek/video.html
Very nice design and build. Bravo
Thank you!
Very nice work. First time I've ever seen that glue up clamping technique.
Thanks for watching, I finally made a video for that rope jig -
czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
That is beautiful. Love the burnt finish, that's really striking. Subbed!
Thanks Mark!
Beautiful - 'tis artwork!!
Thanks James 😊
Cool project! nice front drawers idea!
Very nice workmanship!
John Kraemer thank you!
That glue up technique is brilliant 😳😳😳
Thanks. Are you talking about the rope? I made a video on that as well here - czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
Indeed I am
Awesome work, Great build, love the craftsmanship. Only one small humble suggeestion... throw some music over the video. Thanks for your hard work!
Simply awesome
Thank you!
It is so nice!
Man, the technique you used to glue up the panels alone made me subscribe, I learned that! What a great way to keep them from bending!
I hope to see many more videos from you, keep it up! :) just a small hint, the timelapse could take some music ;)
Thanks!
No! No music! It's perfect as is.

Nice design
Very nice!
Really nice job. You've got a new subscriber
Looks amazing. thanks for sharing!
TheJohdu thanks!
good job man it looks great
Thanks!
muy bien . me gusto mucho , gracias , y un cordial saludo
¡muchas gracias!
Very cool!
awesome. i should make one
fuck, i dont have any tools.
Can you put aside $100 a month? You can slowly build up your tool collection, then make projects that are more and more challenging. $100 or more or less... if you're interested, you'll find a way. Best of luck.
i know i already made some pretty good furniture. its mostly rustic because that way it doesn't have to be perfect.
just look in the mirror
Awesome Work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks! If you like that, you should also check out my new video here czcams.com/video/fSti_NYbQek/video.html
I like the idea. But I think the contrast between VERY smoothly finished top and sides with the burnt fronts is too much. I think it'd be MUCH better if you finished the front to the same level and then stained them black. As it is it looks like it was dragged in by a corrupt firefighter.
What was your joinery method for the middle divider where the inside drawers slides are mounted?
Good question. The divider was inserted and glued into a dado groove in the top. Biscuited in the front and back thicker portions. A dovetailed groove would be more ideal. Or, I would like to use a festool domino in the future, but don't own one yet.
What drawer slides did you use? And is it possible to burn a drawer`s front part on a home gas stove to achieve result as you have? or I should use only a gas burner?
P.S. I really like your drawer! And especcially its design!
Jack`s Made thanks! Blum softclose drawer slides. This was my first time trying a burnt finish. I wouldn't suggest doing it indoors, unless you have great ventilation
Nice build but too fast. Easy to miss crucial steps.
Hello, I follow your channel, I like it very much. I was in doubt about the finish used, could tell which was used. thank you.
Congratulations on the channel.
+felipe pinheiro Thanks for following! The finish was a sprayed on nitrocellulose lacquer, which is a standard cabinetry finish. Inside the drawer boxes, we tried a water based finish. It worked ok, but took at least 3x more coats. On the drawer faces, we did the same nitro lacquer on top of the burnt finish. The drawer faces have held up surprisingly well so far.
im sure the glueing teqnicue u used works. but wouldnt it be easier to just use clamps? or are there any benifitial aspects?
Hi Micke , In this situation I used 3/8" thick basswood for the back of the dresser, because of the light weight. It would easily be damaged by clamps, and warp while being clamped. This method keeps the boards as flat as possible while being clamped. I learned this method for glueing up guitar tops, which are only about 1/8" thick. Trying to clamp wood that thin would be extremely frustrating. After the success with the basswood, I went ahead with clamping the maple drawer bottoms the same way, because those were also thin, and this way probably even saved me time. I'm planning to make a video on this jig soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for watching!
The dresser nice both I hate the wooden part. Do you really have to use wood? I prefer melamine.
Now that's funny. Are you a melamine salesman? Maybe I'll try building one out of cardboard too ;)
Yes
Do you have plans and measurements anywhere?
No I don't, but you could just look up common dimensions for dressers. This one was a beast, it's huge. Probably bigger than most people would want.
Question. I'm doing something similar but for a closet. 8ft tall cabinet. I'm cutting up the edges at 45 degrees and then make my bisquit holes. I add my glue along the edge then with my finger I swirl the glue thruout the edge. When I put the 2 pieces together, the bisquits seem to keep me from making a good tight corner connection. Is there a trick to it? I saw you did the corner the same way I did with bisquits, but mine cannot come out very tight, there is a gap in between the pieces. Am I putting too much glue in the bisquits holes or what the secret? Thanks.
Do you have a biscuit shrinker tool? Just kidding :) Sounds like you're using the wrong size biscuits, or didn't cut the biscuit hole deep enough. There should definitely be some wiggle room in there. I usually use #20 biscuits, and have my biscuit jointer set at 20.
TG Woodworking that's what I have and it's set to #20. Here is what I do. I make the bisquits cuts. I test the work by putting bisquits in every cut and then assemble the 2 pieces together. Works perfect. THEN here is where it goes bad. I put the glue on the edge of the wood, put some inside the bisquits cuts use a brush to swirl the glue around then I put the biqsuits in the cuts but this time they are a bit harder to push in, so I use a rubber hammer to lightly push them in. Then when I join the 2 pieces, Bam, it gets so hard to make then tight as if it's 1 piece, no matter how much I clamp them. Maybe too much glue? I don't know. What u think I'm doing wrong? I'm making the bisquits cuts proper depth and length because before I put the glue, they go in perfect. New blade maybe you think or do bisquits go bad after a while? Thanks for your help
Man, sorry to hear about the struggle. I think I've encountered the same problem in the past, but can't remember how I fixed it. Biscuits don't go bad, but they will swell and expand, due to the moisture in the glue. I guess I would try some of the smaller #10 biscuits. As long as you have it all glued and clamped, it shouldn't be a problem using smaller biscuits (in the #20 cut). But it is confusing that it fits perfectly until you put glue on it. Best of luck to you, I hope it works out!
I think if it was slightly smaller would look even better
I can see those bottom drawers scraping against the floor... no toe kick? ;)
curious how you hollowed out the top and sides. cool vid and nice work. thanks
What I did was glue up thicker material to the front and back of a 3/4" thick panel. Kind of hard to explain. But the idea is that it just looks hollowed out
Could anyone tell me the name of the tool to make the ‘dovetail’ ? Thanks.
It's a Porter Cable dovetail jig.
and a router, with a dovetail cutter; bit.
hiya, what kind of wood did you use for the drawer fronts? thanks.
Poplar
looks awesome! did you sand the drawer fronts or wire brush them after you charring process?
Yeah just a light brushing
Can you show us your panel gluing jig? Looks awesome!
I'd love to make a video for that soon. Stay tuned, thanks!
awesome... Subscribed!
Thank you!
liked it but the burned drawers?????
Nice Bug! !!!
Thanks! Good eye ;)
How did you make the mitres on such big stock. Thanks
The bigger festool track saw
cool
Great looking desing! I love it!! Could you do a video on the jig you've used in the pannel glue up?
BTW: i can not seem to suscribe to your channel...
Thanks, yes, I'm going to make a video for that jig soon, it's very simple
Strange, not sure why?
TG Woodworking that'll be great! The subscription it's done btw, I've no idea why it didn't work the first time
Here you go, finally made a video for it ! czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
what tree did you use
Ambrosia maple. The drawer fronts are poplar
@@TGWoodworking thank you
do tou have a website and how much would it cost for a 9 drawer dresser
you
He does have a website in the description
Thanx
www.tg-woodworking.com. Wouldn't have time right now to build one, but if you're really interested in pricing one, please contact me at tgwoodworking@gmail.com. Thanks
where can we get more info on your glue up technique?
Ronn Trevino I'll be moving into a new shop in a few months and plan on making a video for that, and more. Just been way too busy lately.
Just posted a video today for the rope glue up jig ! czcams.com/video/rFfpdFBPtZc/video.html
Can you put the name of the tools you used
The37344 sure, don't know all the model numbers though. Festool orbital sander, festool tracksaw, powermatic bandsaw, Makita portable planer, porter cable router, delta 6" joiner, old delta tablesaw. That's about it!
Is it "joining" or "jointing"?
Good question. My wording in the video is most likely incorrect. The tool is called a jointer, on which you would perform the task of jointing. Then when you glue wood together, you are joining them together, thus creating a joint. :) Ha ha
Gotta love the English language! lol -- I think you're right.
too bad you didn't show how you built the sides and top of the dresser
won't you just stain it with black?
I did that on the back, and didn't like it. I wanted to experiment by trying something else.
that's cool but does it give off coal/dark dirt when you touch it after the pu?
No, it's got a thick lacquer finish
thank you
You make 90 percent of this dresser beautiful but then put burnt wood drawer fronts on it. Put a dark wood or stain anything but that.
Some people like different looks. This looks amazing to me :)
me too. what wood did he use do you think?
Graham Higgins Poplar
Burnt wood finish looks great finished.
beautiful ! whats the price range ?
Ha, sorry I missed this from four years ago. No idea, but custom furniture always costs more than anything in a store
Good machine... I make furniture too.. But not use good machine likes u
"No clamps were armed in this video"
What would of been nice was some commentary or explanation or fucking music
Ha, yeah, totally understandable. The next video I made after this has music :) I have not had much time to make videos, and edit, etc. I plan to make more and better videos soon!
lot of sanding
Yes 😂. The worst part about woodworking
Sweeet
Burning?
That stinks
Dropped by to thumbs down. Tired of seeing this in my feed.
Thanks! Best of luck to you with your life
dropped by to thumbs down this comment. tired of seeing idiots
très beau travail belle finition
Very cool!
