Hey guys, my channel is dedicated to those who pride themselves in doing things for themselves. I am especially proud of my woodworking projects and am hoping to be able to share with you my experiences. I am mostly self taught with the aid of youtube. My hopes are to help fuel the passion of building your own projects through my triumphs and tribulations. Note that I am not a professional, I am the average guy who enjoys working with his hands. Please join me in the journey of organizing my garage and projects along with hopefully some entertaining video content... :)

Hey guys, i'm sharing this video in attempts to show everyone where I am starting. Nothing to be incredibly proud of by any means and exactly my point. I am hoping to make some major changes here in the immediate future and I want to share where i've been and where i've ended up!
why did I watch all 4 corners of the face frame get screwed together ?
Would you do the same thing on dark wood?
Poly should never have to be buffed if it is sanded thoroughly.
Mmm? You confused me. After the last coat of poly I've got a nice glossy finish. It has several nibs I'm thinking of to buff. But to sand it again? No, sorry, to sand already final and glossy finish it beyond my understanding.
What I want to know is how you got a straight cut on a Rigid tablesaw!! Every cabinet I make with mine turns out janky cuz the fence is never straight no matter what I do. 😒
IIs it a good idea to use wax on fresh clear?
Nice video. Couple questions for ya...do you find it easier to move a dry microfiber cloth over the top once you hit it with the steel wool? Does the wax start to look bad on it's own if it's never being touched?
Did you stain this wood first
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
5:56 LOL
Just wondering if you still have all of your fingers left after watching you cut that plywood....
Good job
Nice video, boss. Simple and easy to understand. Thanks.
I am currently working on my first finishing project, a sewing table my son made of white pine for Christmas. It has been a great learning experience, my finish is Polyacrylic and I was wondering how to finish it off. Thanks!
Would like to see this done against dark wood and close up shots. Still have my doubts about this process leaving fine scratches. Polyurethane may be dry to the touch after a few hours but topcoats won't cure for weeks. Not sure I'd risk it still.
Indeed. Considering that the las coat was sprayed, buffing with an abrasive steel wool once in circular motion, _and_ then along the grain (else it would leave apparent scratches), also has a strong potential of going through that last coating. In my case, I've applied a water based polyurethane, using a foam brush (water based poly dries faster than oil based poly, which would leave no time for apparent brush strokes to smooth out). Then, after the last coating, I use a very fine 1500 grit (then 2000 grit if you want it smooth like a glass) to wet sand. Or, and that's what I'll do with my current work (a shelf), I would dry or wet sand the last coating at 1500 grit, clean, and then buff vigorously with a finishing wax polish using a cloth.
Does it matter on soap? Hand soap/dish soap?
I was in a furniture store and had seen a table, it was so smooth, the top felt like silk, no woodgrain feel at all! I asked the sales lady about it, she told me it was an Amish company and they take months to get their finish that smooth. I decided to make a table out of solid walnut, I cut my polyurethane in half with mineral spirits. I’ve been working on it for a week, two coats per day. I would have dust nibs after every coat, then sand with 320. I was trying to figure out a way to get it silky smooth, nothing was working! I like the idea of spraying the last coat or two, also the cutting it with soapy water and 0000 then finishing with the wax and 0000. I was getting discouraged, but you have given me hope!!! Thank you!!!
Any updates on that walnut table finish. Satisfied? If so, what ended up working for you. Im currently in the exact same spot in my project as you. At around 1 month in of letting my sanded cut poly cure and at about 7 coats. I did use dewaxed shellac on some odd knotting before appying poly. Not sure whether to rub out 320-1000+ or donthis method in the video. Any help appreciated
Strain the poly, it may have some dust particles and such in it. The last 1 or 2 coats it's best to use new, unopened can of Poly....less chance of stuff getting in it. Also make sure the room you are working in is as dust free as you can get it. That's just my 2 cents worth, Good luck
1) For base coats I use diluted poly (3 parts of poly and 1 part of mineral spirit) 2) for the last coat I use 50-50 ratio
Great explanation and demo. Looks great.
I have done very similar with Stodoys designs.
Tell me why I thought the soup and water was a beer first glance 😂
just google Woodglut :))
I'm pretty sure you can still buy plans with all the details you need on Woodprix.
Excelent DIY video - Thank you, GaB
Nice job !!
just goes to show, you can get great results with good 'Ol hand finishing, nice one!
Woodglut has a very large project base.
Great info thanks
If you want to do it yourself, just look for Woodprix. There is everything you need to do it :)
Steel wool. Polishing compound..refining polish..enjoy. (car detailer perspective...works😉) Yea detailers are mental..
Thank you
Does this tip help with those little bubbles & if you have a hair from your brush spot? Thank you for the tip!
How did you hide the pocket holes on the underside of the cabinet? What about the shelves, did you edge band them? So many questions...
Great job explaining everything. Looks great 👍
I’ve got three coats on and am getting frustrated. I like your suggestion to spray the last two coats instead. Great tip. I will buff with 0000 when done adding two more coats of spray poly. Thanks a lot.
I have never used spray poly how did that work for you? I am just recently finishing my wooden door not too happy with the way the stain took but it’s better than it was. I put 4 coats on our front wooden door that’s enough for me bc it looks great then in a week or so I will do this tip he suggested to help with those little marks
can’t watch because the music!
Where did you get the branding iron? Thanks for sharing!
My father in law made the brand for me. Thanks for watching!
Tip for dust nibs: Wipe surface with a piece of paper cut from a brown paper grocery bag using light pressure. It cuts nibs without affecting the finish.
This works well. Brown masking paper is my favorite.
Paper gets finish super smooth. I would have never thought. Some say it's like 4000 grit.
Cardboard cut into squares is my go to. Adds some squishy and the ridges catch the nibs your breaking off similar to a multi bladed razor.
Would it work with a glossy finish? I'm afraid rubbing it even with brown bag paper might make it dull. What do you think?
I was wanting to know the same thing!
5 or 6 coats. I thought I was overdoing it with 3. You the man. Great job.
Do I have to wait a week or can I get away with 48 hours? I have four coats of spar urethane on there.
I'd like to know aswell thinking ill just leave it to the customer
Great video but music is terribly annoying. I'm sure others agree, just saying, no disrespect
Pounding in the ears bro
You ever had a problem with the strips you cut cupping causing gaps between the strips resulting clamping tight or just just using ones that don't cup? Thanks.
If I use the strips right away and get them all brad nailed and glued to the backers no, they don't seem to cup. If I wait a day or two after cutting them then yes, several will turn into hockey sticks. I have been fortunate with my local lumber yard though, they get incredibly high quality wood for what I pay.
Try the best carpenters and woodworkers plans. Woodprix.
Question- why not use high grit sandpaper and buffer/orbital instead?
Sand paper--even super fine grit--will make lines at this point, even if use very lightly.
Beautiful build and for a great cause
Hey Alex. I like the flag. It has an appealing, rustic look. Good job. It's way past time for you to post another video. I look forward to you sharing more content.
I coulda sworn that was a glass of beer! So i thought, why'd he put a glass of beer on a recently finished table. But it's not beer.
well you need to reward yourself after a job well done don't you?
Love this! 🙏
Never heard u saying any specific measurements
Steel wool + soapy water. Low tech, effective, nice. Guessing surface easier to keep clean, and wipe down when it gets dusty or dirty... If the poly is a bit rough to touch (before buffing) dust and dirt cling to aged polyurethane = looks like shit. Definitely an advantage other than pure aesthetics to go through the effort to hand polish with steel wool + soapy water, add twerk in the middle.
AWSOME JOB BRO LOVE IT!!!!!
