Totally agree. Osmo and cherry is awesome.
Super nice for sure.
I appreciate your attention to the small details. Taking your time to make sure the cedar insert was square is an example of that. PS the new toy looks like a serious upgrade over a router table for the things it can do.
Thank you.
Hello from Michigan
I built two toy boxes a year ago, one of cherry, another of red oak. Hand cut 48 dovetails on each one.
Great work Mike, you sir, are a true craftsman
That wounds like a lot of dovetails. Well done.
I miss the reward for watching all the way through. 🙂 My dad had a chest of plywood when he was young and it was destroyed by black mold in the days of floppy disks, VCR tapes, and cassettes. 😉 I kept the hardware and vowed to create a worthy replacement. I may have found that piece. I’ve studied and enjoyed your work for a long time, Mike, and it would be great to have your influence share this father-son project.
Thank you. Send me an email when you're done with yours.
Yet another home run, Mike. I believe I can speak for a great many when I say we always appreciate it when you come out to play. Thanks a ton.
Thank you very much.
Ha I'm wearing those shoes right now. Super comfy.
Good stuff.
I love my Felder shaper.
Its been a nice tool so far.
thanks for the new video.....used your sanding disk this morning..Boom
Thank you. That is great to hear Mike.
Your voiceover is Roman Mars on 99% invisible-level pleasant to the ear. Orders of magnitude above any other woodworking (and non-woodworking) channel on UA-cam.
Thank you very much.
Great video as always. Making one of these has been on my TODO list for a while now... will definitely need to refer back to this again at some point.
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. We have missed you
Thank you.
Great blanket chest, Mike. Love your humor (cluster joke was great).
Bill
Ha! Thank you.
Awesome build, as always! Your work and your videos are just amazing - I really enjoy watching them.
Glad you like them!
Totally 🍒 blanket chest... your work is always first class
Thank you! Cheers!
Really good video
Thank's
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Mike. In lieu of Patreon, got the plans. And you helped me decide on which wood I was going to use for my entertainment center build. TY!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support.
Google is your friend Mike. Aromatic Cedar is actually Juniperus Virginiana, however, it's commonly referred to as Red Cedar. Great video
So I was right, it is a juniper? Around here, if you asked for Red Cedar, you would need to specify eastern or western.
That Felder f700 is drool worthy. We did play the Lotto tonight for $1.2B so after I win, I'll be placing my order.
Good luck.
Very nice work Mike, love cherry wood too!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Mike and a great blanket chest!!!
Thank you.
Very nicely done Sir!
Thank you kindly!
Absolutely delicious 👌👌
Thank you.
My wife caught me lately saying a bit loudly: "f*ck yes", everything time you post a new video hahaha.
I'm in the process of renovating our new house after immigrating to Sweden and I didn't have had time to set up my shop so watching you is a bit of a substitute to remedy the lack of doing shop projects.
Thanks for the great content!
Ha! Thank you.
Just opened a beer, its friday AND a new mike ferrington video!! Is this real life?
Ha! Nice!
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Agree! Hard to beat on a Friyay afternoon
Dude, you are so funny!
Thank you.
Yes!!! Ska!!!
Thank you.
I think quick and dirty would also be a good name for a rock band or Even a retro throw back hair metal band.
I totally agree.
Do you have a video where you talk about the placement of "Key" dog holes on you assembly table?
I don't, but I have a video showing how I build the top of my bench on my channel. It shows me drilling the holes.
Excellent work as usual but I have to ask, why two underscores?
Someone else took the one with one underscore.
Pretty impressive. I've tried building boxes and always have the plywood warp before using or when the walls are screwed and glued together. I find out I'm a 1/4imch off square and cannot go backwards. I do not know how you guys do it
It takes a good amount of experience.
Best part of the video was the reinstallation of the shoe. But the build comes in a close second.😉
Ha! Thank you.
haha! "cluster fornication"
Gotta keep in clean.
Super nice chest, great process. Now, as for The Aquabats' Super Rad, I'm going say listen to the song, don't watch the video!
All video from the time period were bad, but that one was horrible. Still, fun song.
Nice beach! I'm guessing it was somewhere on the west coast given where you live, right?
Yup, San Diego county.
is that osmo extra thin clear 1101, osmo polyx oil 3043?? Finish turned out smooth and quite eye pleasing!!
I think its the 3043.
Has anyone seen a router base plate on the market that looks like a horseshoe shape, open in the center with two extending legs or points in the front? Have the same type of chest with a ply lid. I attached 3/4 x3/4 solid sapele edge banding that needs to be flush cut at the corners with the ply top.
You might be better off making one. That is a really good way to get through that task.
Thank you much really dig the channel
Looks great, Mike! I really like this style (is it Shaker style?). Never heard of "aromatic cedar" and how you use it seems a really good idea!
Thank you.
Why the two underscores?
Someone else has just one underscore.
I used the same hinges (60 in. lbs) with a 3/4 thick maple top, roughly same dimensions length / width and the top gets about 30 degrees from closing and slams shut the rest of the way. Not sure where I went wrong, its a toy box otherwise i would call it good. Any recommendations?
Maple is heavier so that may be the issue. I would add another hinge.
@@MikeFarrington thanks Mike, I was leaning that direction but dam Rockler is proud of those hinges. $40 ea.
You might be able to find similar hinges to use, they use a rotary damper mechanism. Searching damper hinge might find you something
3:28 You said 'toy' again. You meant tool though, right?
Shucks, did I mess that up again.
Mike, I mean this in the most complimentary way possible - you embody ‘dadness’. Your corn ball jokes always make me smile and roll my eyes at the same time.
Ha! Well at least that means my videos are honest.
There’s no higher calling than to be a husband and father; so for my vote, embodying “Dadness” is indeed a fine fine compliment 👍
@@TheSMEAC Totally agree!
It’s 25% of why I reach for his content!! The other 25%, is for his musical review!! 50%, being his awesome woodness.
@@mikehuber6675 Thank you, thats kind.
incidentally, "Groove Bottom" was my stage name when I was in a Hot Chocolate cover band
This made me giggle. Thanks. "Groove bottom", what a name.
Haha! We are on the same wave length. I was thinking about calling my funk cover band Groove Bottom.
I especially liked three things in this video:
1) The Felder F700
2) The final product
3) Your sense of humor
Please never change, Mike.
Thank you very much.
I've been doing fine woodworking for over 40 years and I always learn something watching your videos. Thanks for making them and for your format of doing narration over the video; so much better than attempting to get it in while working.
Thank you.
Didn't Chicago make good use of the trombone as well? Listen to "25 or 6 to 4" and then let me know what you thought. Oh yea, nice quilt/blanket chest too!
Chicago did make great use of the trombone for sure, and 25 or 6 to 4 is a great song. However, they do not do the really fun sliding of the trombone that ska music does. Thank you.
Congrats on that awesome shaper! Great build and beautiful shop by the way.
Thank you.
Why take a measurement of the story sticks for the panel size instead of just using the sticks themselves to set the tablesaw fence?
I thought that showed what I was going better.
10:15 on your downdraft table, is that carpet on top? If not, why is so shaggy? 💖🌞🌵😷
That is a weird rubber coating from the factory. It is there to prevent scratching and provide grip.
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!
Thank you very much.
Beautiful work!,did the bevel on the lid wasn't enough for open and close?did you also have to chamfer the leg?Cheers from Toronto Canada!!
The beveled area wasn't were it was contacting the top of the leg. It was further in onto the surface of the lid.
@@MikeFarrington Thank you for the clarification!,Great work!!
I am not sure exactly what it is, but something about your videos always gets me pumped up to get out into the show and make something. Very nice piece, and I totally agree with you about a chamfer on the undersides of tops like that.
Thank you.
Aquabats is easily one of my top 5 ska bands, and your analysis of ska and the use of trombones was spot on. Oh, the furniture build was great, too.
Ha! Thank you. Great band for sure.
Does the aromatic cedar need replacement at some date when all the oils evaporate over time?
No, just sand it.
"Resting" after the table saw and "not too crowded." You are just so "considerate" of the wood. Who knew? Is that the secret to a good project outcome? Must be. Just great. Wow. Aand Maybe "The Boardroom" should be changed to "The Toyshop." Yea... I think I like "Toyshop." ~ After all the "Blanket Chest" could double as a "Toy Box." ~~~ Just saying..~~~~. ✨✨🙏✨✨. ~~~~. And the other thing ~~~~. Looks like the "producer" (seems like a nice guy, WGBH Boston) has established an "official" New Yankee Workshop You Tube site. That would be for my one and only most excellent, ~ Life Time ~. Woodworking Hero ~. None other than ~ ✨Norm Abrams ✨~ also "Just saying" ~~~ (from New Hampshire). ♥
Thank you very much.
Howdy!
At 10:40 I am intrigued by the end of your air hose.
It looks like a hard mounted, pass through, blower tip?? I may be very wrong, but does anyone have any details on that gizmo? The savings of time spent looking for the blower would be immense!
Yeah, that was a thing I bought at an auto parts store, a bunch of years ago.
How much overhang do these hinges allow if using Rocklers jig without modification? From pics I've seen and how the hinge protrudes from the back I'm thinking around 5/8 "????
I think its 1/2", but I could be wrong.
Hey Mike, just looked at those torsion hinges from Rockler. Im in Québec and after shipping, duty taxes and exchange rate, im looking at 200$ for the hinges….no bueno. So i was thinking maybe if i install enough soft close concealed cabinet hinges i could get close the same results for similar size top on a chest im going to build. Thoughts, opinion on this?
I do not know if that would work. I'm pretty sure you can dig up all the numbers that blum provides as to weight and size. This could give you a clue if this will work.
I always learn something from your videos. I have used Rubio on a couple of cherry pieces but had blotchy results. I think I'll try Osmo. Thanks.
Osmo and cherry are a nice combo.
Cluster fornication and khyber crystals sold me on subscribing ;)
Haha! Thank you.
Love the blanket box. I have to disagree with you on ska being the ONLY form of music to use a trombone in that way. Blues and Jazz come to mind immediately. And love Super Rad. My son listens to it frequently.
Well, Ska does it with the most fun. I do agree jazz can really nail the trombone as well.
Mike, since your self-employed, how about “Calling In Sick” from the ska band Buck-O-Nine 😊
Great song great band. I like My Town also.
Have you looked into the Aigner fence for your shaper? I have them on my Felder combo saw/shaper and wouldn’t be without them. So much safer than the included fence. Big bucks but worth every penny.
I have, I will probably get one at some point. Right now I have settled for the adjustable safety fence, which does the same thing, its just not convenient.
I just found your channel. You and your power tools remind me of "The New Yankee Workshop". Are you a Norm Abram fan? That is a beautiful chest. Oak is more plentiful in Northern Alabama so I use a lot of red oak.
Norm is the man. I like oak too, we just don't get nice looking oak around here.
Awesome project! And a nice new toy for your shop - the shaper! Take care working with it! It's not just a bigger uter table. I would highly recommend adding a safety feature like a Suva Frässchutz or a similar contraption from Aigner. Those might be hard to get in the states but since you are able to get european machines like the Felder you shold be able to find a supplier. I tryed to ad links but apparently it didn't go throu.
Thank you. I have a few more things one order, but they have not shipped out yet. Meaning, the look and safety of the shaper will change in the next few videos.
Hello Mike
Great build. Seems you need to care about your shop assistant..... Looks at if he's to busy..
Thanks Thomas
Thanks 👍
Very nicely done as always Mike. A tilting arbor shaper is on my dream shop list, and I’m sure Felder makes a great one. Do you release additional content to your patreon supporters? Looking forward to the next as always.
Thank you. Tilting arbor and sliding table, were the two things I wanted in a shaper. I do not release additional content, but I do answer every question any patron asks.
Fuking awesome. Now get a Laguna 18bx bandsaw like me and melt down that old Rockwell. 😝
Ha! I like the ole Rockwell.
It's a beaut!
What..you dont like nearly falling forward into the wall as your leg catches at around where your knee is 'supposed' to be once the pantaloons are on?
Haha, only once has it happened...this year ;)
Ha! I can relate.
Suffering fm some serious shop and tool envy here. Beautiful build. Now about that double underscore in your IG handle…
Thank you. Someone else took the one with just one underscore.
Been waiting for a new upload. We missed ypur videos Sir. 😢
BTW... That is a nice new toy 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Mike, I find Osmo produces a lower sheen when applied in a cold shop. Have you experienced this during your Colorado winters?
I have not experience that, but I really buff it off.
Tres beau travail bravo,chaîne vidéo très intéressante,merci!
Thank you.
Is that a 16-560 freud bit for your mortise cuts where the hinges lay?
Really enjoy your show
Yes, very good eye. Every shop should have one.
I was thinking about you a couple of days ago wondering when your next video would be. It's a strange world - some random man in Scotland thinking about you out the blue going about day-to-day life.
Thank you.
"Soon the world will know, the fury of attack, feel the wrath of the super rad!"
More Horn Section Please! nice.
Ha! Thank you.
Wauu... Tus maquinas, tus herramientas... Increíble, como realizas tu trabajo, siempre un placer, siempre soñare con tener alguna herramienta como las que tienes.. En mi país es casi imposible, sin embargo, me motivo y me voy a mi pequeño taller a cortar madera.. Un gran abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Thank you very much for the kind words.
I'm going to take a wild guess that the old stomping ground (2:56) is not in Colorado...
I gotta research those hinges. A toybox for my granddaughter has made its way onto my to-do list.
San Diego. These hinges would work great for a toy box.
Mephiskapheles is still the greatest SKA band of all time.
I shall look them up. Thank you.
What make and model miter saw is that? We’ve obviously seen you use it many times, but I don’t remember hearing what one….thanks!
Omga 350.
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. 💖🌞🌵😷
Thank you. That is a good way to solve the problem.
I am surprised You haven't gotten lets say like a job site saw dedicated for your Double taper sanding disk
That is a good idea.
Heck, you can still get your foot up on your knee the put your shoes on...just wait until you hit 50 and the check engine light comes on like an old Buick...lol
Ha!
Mike, PLEASE make more content more often. Just get a go pro and take it with you on your jobs, we want to see more!
Thank you. If it were only that easy.
Love the shaper! If it ever comes up missing, I have no idea where it went...really!!!
Ha! That would be a tuff move. This thing isn't light.
Does the double taper sanding disk work well as a nail file? I'm looking for a way to speed up that tedious task...
Ha! If you were really careful.
Its a shame you live so far away. I think we'd be good friends just based on your wardrobe selection.
Ha! Thank you.
Another great vid I am hoping to ge a Felder panel saw whit a shaper in the machine being able to utilize the shaper in conjunction with the slider of the saw and watching you use your shaper whit the table has made me al fired up again ovaut getting that combo again 😂😂
If you can swing the money, a saw shaper is a great addition to the shop. In some way I think I would prefer the saw shaper as then I would have the really long stroke and the outrigger.
Ironic earlier this week I was asking about face frame lay out on a painted bench and then this. Should have told me to just wait ha.
Ha! I didn't think that would have helped in the moment.
Gotta disagree with your greatest shirt ever link. The greatest shirt ever is the Millennium Falcon shirt you wore in the video. I had one just like it but sadly wore it out.
Ha! I would say both are great.
Mike, tell me about your miter saw that you’re using? It looks superior to what is sold at the big box stores.
Yes, that is an Omga saw. It is in a different league than the big box stuff.
Excellent blanket chest. Well done!
BTW: The Super Rad? Utterly insane. I love it!!!
Thank you Jerry.
Great song choice! Musical Monte Python.
Thank you.
Your old stomping grounds make the Saroyan Hardwoods shirt make more sense haha
Yup, this beach is about 8 miles down the way from Saroyan in Vista.
Hello Mike, long time no see, I was never notified about the last 3 videos, BAD UA-cam!, congrats now you sell plans, NICE, do you make them after of before you make the build, never saw you working with a plan (lolll)...drawings on a napkin do not count!!! And like usual, nice and perfect job!
Thank you, I get this comment all too often. I guess I'm out of favor with Mother Algorithm. I am going to try to sell plans with more of my projects, gotta feed those growing kids.
@@MikeFarrington Totally agree, and it's about time, I know your process of sketching something, ruff cutting, and then boom, the super precision comes in, and your build is perfect, I have built 2 complete houses and I always struggled with the finition, my uncle used to tell me to stop and let my cousin do it, if you make the plans for some of the stuff you already did, I might even buy some, ciao bello!
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. 🙂
What board trolley is that please buddy? The blue pivoting one?
Shop carts USA, the Panel Handler.
I enjoyed the video and the quality craftsmanship…and I like your “new toy”..There is one thing (and truly no offense intended) but there’s something about the two words together “Blanket Chest” that, for me, requires dovetails on the corners.🤨
Funny, I really wanted to do that style, but my wife preferred this.
And I TOTALLY understand that!….Happy wife- Happy LIFE!
The cedar bottom ended up gorgeous! Nice build - I'm excited to see what you do with the shaper once you amass some more cutters :D
Thank you. I have bought a few cutters, just enough to get going. Next up is a power feeder.
I'm not trying to be a smartass here, but please be careful with that shaper. My dad lost a thumb by having his hand behind the cutter and the cutter catching a knot in the wood, throwing the board back and his hand with it - straight into the cutter. It managed to shred it into a fine mist in half a second.
Thank you. All woodworking can be dangerous, but the shaper especially.
Mike without fail always learn something new from watching your videos this one checking your off cut on the panel and add some CA glue to help strengthen it 👏🏻👏🏻 brilliant
Glad to help
And your 10 out of 10 for replies 🙌🏻
