After watching one of ur latest videos in ur new shop, I can’t stop watching . Now I’m going through all of them. I’m a finish carpenter and woodworker myself for 18 years. But I’m still learning from u so much from every video.
your channel may grow because we watch but we grow because of you sharing your amazing skills with us. Therefore, I appreciate very much that you are filming and sharing your artwork. I learnt a lot today and was also inspired by you. Thank you!
I am already subscribed and somehow just saw this video for the first time. I am a custom woodworker myself and so I can tell truly how much you dedicated to making a work of art. It took not only the skill to make such a beautiful piece, but also an amazing eye to see the possibilities for this existing piece. Awesome awesome job and please keep showing us your work as it is inspiring.
That is an amazing transformation of that piece, and I can tell you not only enjoy your craft, but that you are truly an artist. How did the customer react to it?? Oh, and this video got you another subscriber! 👍🏻
Thank you, really. I have always done art in some form or fashion. They were extremely extremely happy. The curves were just right. The color was perfect. I appreciate your sub. Thanks
This is insane - you've always had a knack for making stuff with your hands. I still remember seeing those old paintings at your folks place when we were in high school. I'm so glad you kept following that passion. The craftsmanship is quite clear in the final product. I would love to see a video of you doing an acoustic guitar or violin build when you get the chance to do one of those again!
Thank you. Yeah, you are witnessing the beginning of an awesome channel being birthed into the competitive world of content. Wish me luck! And don't forget to subscribe
The color matched beautifully, that must have been quite challenging! Nice design choice to darken the lattice backer a bit more for contrast. New sub from me!
G' Day mate Greetings from Croatia Great job as always I have a question, your opinion and anyone who's reading this Im about to build a big huge church door And im thinking make it hollow for the weight sake, something like a house frame out of wood, then put some 2 +inch thick wooden panels around it. Stractualy is sound but im woried about condesation and creating some water inside etc., and get a problems later Thanks
Greetings! Exterior doors are commonly solid core to avoid the problems you have mentioned. And by having a hollow core, you would need to leave space in between each outside board so that they can expand and contract individually and not cause warping. This will lead to water getting in. I recommend a solid core of very light wood.
This was an existing media center in a client's house that I added to and customized. I didn't do the crown, but it was multiple pieces of normal molding bought from a molding supply and stacked on eachother. This is called multi step crown.
Just imagine his clients enter the house, look at this magnificient bookshelf and say "this is not what we ask for, take it off and leave, you're fired!"
Thank you! It's hard to know with filming and having a day job. Probably 2 weeks. The rest of the cabinetry was already existing at the house. I converted the media center into artistic shelving. Please subscribe and stick around.
To add the curved lattice centerpiece and shelves was $3,300 (US) at the time of filming. To build the entire built-in with everything included it would cost $12,000 (US) or more.
😮 that’s why I have recently purchased Dewalt table saw, miter saw and plane so I can completely renovate our kitchen, literally from the floor to ceiling. Wife wants shaker cabnts with a bit of flair on the rails and all the tools i’ve bought were less than the cost of the doors would have been to hire it out.
Love your channel Did you really ignore the clients original request, lol? That also seems like a lot more work than their original request - hopefully you made money.
Thank you! I wouldn't disregard and build something without their approval. So I sent them a final 3d model for them to sign off on. But yes, it was far more work and such a work of art now, so worth it!

That's amazing that you are taking in so much! Thanks for watching my content, and I appreciate you
a workpiece so extra, it requires its own dramatic soundtrack while its being built xD
great video!
It sure does! Haha thanks for watching!
I feel like it takes extra skill to add so much to an existing piece without being able to tell its not part of the original. Kudos!
It would've been easier to start from scratch. Thanks!

Your video footage is beautiful, you commentary is perfect and even your background music is very tasteful!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
That is such a beautiful unique centerpiece to that room they had to be over the moon when they saw it!
Thanks bud. Let's just say... I'm about to start another project for them

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for watching
It’s FASCINATING to see how the lattice is made! Gorgeous end result as always
Thank you. The lattice was very fun to make

I appreciate you noticing! Thank you for the sub!
Exquisite!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent piece…I’m in…nice creativity !!! Also like the stain hue…warm…👍 could the lattice have been woven ?
Yes suppose the lattice could be woven. They would have to be half the thickness though. Cool idea! Thanks for watching!

And im thinking make it hollow for the weight sake, something like a house frame out of wood, then put some 2 +inch thick wooden panels around it.

Probably is the the Best that way
Thanks
where did you buy the crown molding on the piece? or did you make it?
This was an existing media center in a client's house that I added to and customized. I didn't do the crown, but it was multiple pieces of normal molding bought from a molding supply and stacked on eachother. This is called multi step crown.
Just imagine his clients enter the house, look at this magnificient bookshelf and say "this is not what we ask for, take it off and leave, you're fired!"
Haha yes! Luckily they loved it!
Bro, that look insanely amazing 😍😍😍 how long did it take to make from start to finish?
Thank you! It's hard to know with filming and having a day job. Probably 2 weeks. The rest of the cabinetry was already existing at the house. I converted the media center into artistic shelving. Please subscribe and stick around.
@@FortressFineWoodworks Bro, you have a day job AND you're a woodworker... that's amazing 👏👏👏 will definitely wait for future uploads😊😊😊
Whats something like that cost?
To add the curved lattice centerpiece and shelves was $3,300 (US) at the time of filming.
To build the entire built-in with everything included it would cost $12,000 (US) or more.
@@FortressFineWoodworks WHAT…….😱 please check your math….🤓
Top notch work = top notch prices
