    I just used my Double Taper Sanding Disc yesterday. It is amazing! My project was just some 3/4 x 1 back banding to add to a bunch of door casing. It got rid of the saw marks and left the edges buttery smooth. It also revealed how much deflection I'm getting from my table saw blade. I highly recommend it.

    I always loved working with cherry ... beautiful with watco danish oil finish (we used to buy in fifty gallon drums). I had a chisel point mortising machine (3/8 inch), and a single end tenoning machine to do the joinery. Blanket chests were always a pleasant project !

    While it's a wonderful thing to have all the tools and equipment that makes up a shop like yours, it's no substitute for skill, talent, imagination, and experience. You have it all. One thing I noticed in this video is everything is clean. Work space, benches, tools, hands... when you're working with high-end wood, it's not a good thing to have the work marred by hand prints, tool scuffs, work bench dents & scratches, etc. I really like the way you work!

    Sweet and easy build 👍
    I’m sure I say “easy” in part because you always do a fine job of foreseeing needs/improvements you can make to fit/finish/functionality (using the grate while intentionally opening up more cedar surface area, chamfering to avoid picks in fabric, going the extra mile to cut haunches, etc…).
    The number one thing I appreciate and have over these past years from you is not organization per se, but that you organize and approach projects and problems, in an organized manner mentally first; that makes the execution far easier. You’d have made a fine Operations Officer at the battalion level. Hope you and the family are doing well!

    Years ago I worked for a wonderful cabinet maker and I remember asking him “ how do you know how much glue to put on?” Always hear his voice answer when I’m in a glue up,” just the right amount “ Words of wisdom from our mentors.Also, cherry was Jamie’s favourite wood as it gets ‘richer ‘ with time. I also love Osmo and ska.

    Fun fact: I've seen tops with three wide boards and a sliver in back. The way they made this work is... Three boards form the top and the skinny board is fixed to the top of the chest. The hinges are then placed between the top and the skinny board. Depending on the hinges you use, this three + one board helps keep too much stress on the back and causing the upper edge of the back to split and tear at the hinge screws. 💖🌞🌵😷

    I design my own projects and have never used a "plan" for anything.
    However, I am buying your plan for this project simply to support you.
    I also bought your Kumiko box at Modern Bungalow in Denver.
    Keep up the great work!

    That shaper is a beast! Wow. (Although it’s also slightly terrifying, given the power that thing must have 😉). Then you whipped out that bronze Lie Nielsen #4 and my tool envy went into overdrive… I had to rewatch that section a few times because I thought I might be seeing the ultimate unicorn: a L.N. Bronze 4 1/2! I have seen and held in my hands exactly ONE of those in my life, and damn what I’d be willing to pay for one if L.N. ever made it again…. Drool worthy. Great video as usual, and neat project!

      Thank you very much. The shaper is nice. The bronze #4 is a very nice tool for sure. I have a cast 4 1/2, I don't like it, its too wide and takes too much effort. The unicorn in the bronze #4.

      @@MikeFarrington Ah yes fair point! I have an old Bailey 4 1/2 that I restored with a hock iron and love using, but given the width I do need to keep it to a pretty fine shaving... otherwise it's quite a workout! :-) Dang it, this conversation has me visiting the L.N. web site now... My wallet is getting nervous. 🙂

    You can always cut the groove and then tenons on the table saw with a dado blade.

      Yes, funny how many tools I own that I could just use the table saw.

    Next new tool? A saw mill. 20" wide cherry boards are easy to come by if you have one of those.

    • @MikeFarrington
      @MikeFarrington  2 роки тому

      The problem with the saw mill is there are no logs were I live. Otherwise I would have already bought one.
