Whelp. There it is folks. I didn't know if this one would work. But I think it does. I think. But if nothing else, it's a sweet little cabinet. And I'm never mad at a nice whiskey cabinet. Cheers.

Yes, sign up, it’s so worth it
Signed up! Thank you!
Thanks!
Signed up!
I signed today thanks E
More like this! Eric, for me, you are at your best by far when you walk us through the intersection of art and craft, design and construction. Makes me want to don my "Go Make a Thing" T-shirt and head out to the shop.
Thank you so much 🙂 There will be more like this for sure. Just takes a while to build them so I can't put em out all the time 😂
ditto
Art and craft(smanship) were the 2 words that sprang to mind for me to. Therefore I don't need to leave a comment, I can just second yours. This isn't a comment, honest.
@@ENCurtis I've been thinking about the time constraint you mention. Although covering full projects is probably my first choice, I think there'd be a lot of value in taking an art-craft angle on furniture components. Perhaps this would be more manageable? You would know. For instance, tabletop edge treatments (I think you did one of these), or how about tabletop shapes and their relation to other parts of design, leg treatments, and so on. Could these be short survey videos offering multiple visual ideas, not all of which you would have to have made yourself? For the craft element, you could show us how you'd create one or two of the treatments you show. Just a thought -- a thought you've probably already had yourself! Cheers.
Aligning the music with the tapping on components during assembly… brilliant!
Curve door is amazing 😮
The juxtaposition of not just the houndstooth to the "stud" drawer sides, but more so that graceful carved sycamore drawer front to the sides really sets it off. Also, the restraint used in the cabinet works well because of the houndstooth and the wood selection. I can imagine in person it almost looks understated, or dare I say boring, from afar, only for the details in the grain, the joinery, and the subtle curve up front to pop out once one is close, to then be greeted with that sycamore upon opening and the stud drawer sides upon even further inspection... You're telling a narrative with how the piece unfolds. Well done, and it definitely deserves to be in a gallery.
Excellent, excellent video. I started watching it in the house this morning, then paused it so I could make a big mug of coffee and took the iPad out to my shop to finish watching it. These videos make so much more sense when I can smell wood shavings as I watch.
This is a really interesting piece and build, EC. I enjoyed your discussion of your thought process in designing and building it, particularly the drawer. The shaped drawer front in a lighter contrasting wood is spectacular. The rough look of the Doug fir drawer sides and back is similarly very cool, although I might have tried 2 drawers to give it more of a deliberate feel than I get from one drawer alone. But I get it. BTW, I've been using your recipe for 3-part finish for about 2 years now and I'm seriously addicted to it.
I love your humor and your wonderful designs....keep on truckin!!
gorgeous. gorgeously understated. the curves nicely counterbalance the dovetails. re-saw FTW.
You sir, are an Artist and a fine Craftsman.
Great piece of art. As always. And yes, I have always judged your coffee drinking and will most definitely judge the k cup. But that is what makes this a great relationship. Till your next one. Take care.
Lovely project. Combination of sublime and ridiculous. I ADORED what you did with the mill grade stamps.
I love the added concave door feature. You could have just done a simple door, but you went one step deeper in technique. Love it.
Found your channel recently and, well, blown away by the craftsmanship, thought processes, the art, the whole thing.
I'm just building an alcove Nick unit and your work has inspired me to try and elevate the piece by being bold....it could all to horribly wrong....but it's a learning experience eh.
Thanks for sharing your work.
Love the thought of intentionality adding a "flaw". I was thinking that adding one of the hounds teeth upside down and maybe then putting a tiny brass pin or something.. but loved the 2x4.
Very nice presentation of exceptional art and craftsmanship! Yes, art and craftsmanship can co-exist. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Thank you.
I think this might just be my favorite piece that you've made!
The thing I like best about this cabinet is that it isn't over the top. You did what I strive to do in my own work - let the wood speak for itself. And that 5% aesthetic you were going for? Nailed it. I just wonder, in a gallery environment, whether anyone will notice it, depending on how it is displayed.
I like good whisky. I love the figured English Walnut and the craftsmanship you put into creating this exquisite cabinet. Well done, young lad! Well done, indeed! Now I know what I want to build for my next project. Thank you so very much for taking me on this fascinating journey.
Love this format, Erik. And the piece is gorgeous!
Thanks so much!
Great video. The piece looks fantastic.
Erik, I do consider you a new age woodworker. But, you have tremendous skill using old techniques and vintage tools. Again, your thought process is how you work is exceptional. Semper Fi young man and carry on Sir.
Thank you so much, sir!
That's amazing Erik! I really loved the charcoal rubbed into the shaper origin made lettering then planed down look! Never seen that before! Also never knew of the term coopering. Learned a chalk full in this one. The overall cabinet is simply stunning! True craftsmanship that really shows through in the final product. Gives me lots of ammunition to take into consideration for future projects! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! Glad you got something out of it!!
You mentioned that it’s your preference to finish with a hand plane and touch up with the sander in order to open the pores to help the wood accept finish. I think I got that correct! Curious what grit sand paper you typically start with and finish with (assuming you use more than one grit) after planing?
Also, I absolutely love the textured drawer front. That’s something I’ve seen you do in the past, and I think it’s a beautiful touch.
Exceptional build AND presentation. These types of projects and presentations are what I hope to get to one day, and you give me hope that I can get there. Thanks, friend.
I'm really impressed by the story and presentation of the video! Maybe it's the familiarity of having a vision you don't know quite how you're going to execute, but failure simply isn't an option. Oh yeah, really nice cabinet too!
For $1.50 for a year’s worth?!? Dude, that feels better than good, it’s a tremendous offer and very generous from WGOA. Helping you in so doing, that’s just a candle on the cake!
Thanks so much!
I love the way you spent 10 percent of the time to make the drawer look like 5 percent. The final result was spectacular. I only wish that my 50 percent would look as good as your last 5. Also love the coopered door. Such a restrained and graceful way to finish the door.
I check my feed every weekend for a video and I’ve got to say it makes my weekend whenever you’ve posted. Thank you for making a simple man happy.
Wow…a new Eric video and Saturday morning coffee…what a great start to the weekend! Beautiful whiskey cabinet…I absolutely love working with English walnut. Now it’s time to head out to the shop and “make a thing”…today’s task is mill up some 7/4 black walnut for a Moxon vise…by hand.
Heck yes, man
Thanks man! And good luck with that milling. Stay hydrated!
The drawer details was inspired. Gotta give you props for that; didn't see it coming. Adding finish to wood reminds me a lot of working in the darkroom decades ago and watching the print appear on the paper. Love it.
Thank you! I came along at the very tail end of manual photo development so I only have a vague memory of tinkering in dark rooms in high school, but I imagine it was a magical process.
Sorry,my attention kept drifting to the hcm on the ol' filing cabinet.I have the exact same boat anchor!
Super grooooooovy drawer! Well done!
I love when you speak about woodworking as art, especially fine art. We just don't get that from any other content creators that I know of. It really speaks to an important aspect of woodworking that attracts me to it.
Beautiful cabinet, Eric! You really pulled off the desired statement well! I've only fully accomplished that once in my whole (hobbyist) career. Additionally, I truly enjoyed this "what you were thinking" format. I hope to see a few of this type sprinkled in for the future.
Just signed up for the gold too.. thanks for great offer. Love your work and the channel!!
Love this build! Maybe my favorite so far- especially the drawer
Thank you so much!
Really like how you made the door pull look like one of the pins on the houndstooth joinery!
I always look forward to your videos (and I am really bummed when you miss a Saturday). A beautiful piece and an excellent view into your quirky process
Keep up the excellent work.
Dude, your videos are a treat! The filming. The spoken words (even when they are hard). The music. And of course the work you do. Perfection.
Thank you so much Stefan. I really appreciate that!
I have a weekly habit of making a nice cocktail in the evening and then sitting down to watch your videos. It inspires me as a beginner woodworker, to keep working on my latest piece that I've made multiple mistakes on. And thanks for the Royal Tenenbaum reference ;)
Spot on design
A thing of beauty is always a joy to behold. I can get a coopered drawer bottom out of a single solid piece of wood so easily. Never knew I was trend setting. LOL. Love this project.
That drawers face is spectacular! Love the subtle curve to the door. And the simplicity of the minor complex details. Beautiful. .
SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Love the edits with the old vcr( for those of you that understand that) just spectacular
Simply Brilliant, it makes me want to go buy some wood and try to make a cabinet, but first things first
Going to the liquor store to buy some bourbon
Then I will try to see what I can come up with, I know is not the logical order but I need the bottle for measuring purposes
Cheers, you are amazing, and thanks
I actually have two bandsaws; one small one for curved cuts with a quarter inch blade, and the big one solely for resawing with a three quarter inch blade
absolutely love the choice to do the faux dimensional lumber look for the drawer, these choices and juxtapositions are what turn "normal" woodworking into artistic woodworking
What a beautiful piece of furniture. The last image is absolutely wonderful where the cabinet is turned into a shelter for the bottle of whisky. Nice combination.
I love this. I just completed an artwork this week that I purposely left unfinished so viewers can see the process. It’s a long story about personal transformation and how it is never fully complete. Love your work and perspective as always.
Gotta say. That is indeed one of the best adds I've gotten. Great work. This is what good marketing can be. I'm now an excited new member of wwgoa and even upgraded. Hope you get more great sponsors and keep putting out the interesting, and honest content that we love seeing from ya.
Enjoyable watch! Love how it is understated but then on closer inspection, the detail comes out with the grain, door and dovetails!
As someone that never gets the last 5% dome in time, I loved the drawer. Awesome work (and killer sound this time)
Nailed it! Pun intended. Beautiful work Eric. Thanks for posting what, why and how you do the things you do. Take care & stay safe.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one Doug.
This was an absolute masterclass dude. 🤙
Thank you so much 🙂
Great build! Love it!
Stunning, thanks.
DUDE!!! I've been wanting to join for a while now. You just made it possible. Thank you!
In my day job making chairs and sanding literally thousands of seats and backs, I have found that using two stacked Mirka interface pads in between the sander and your discs makes an extremely high quality surface before finish. The two pads also let the disc spin more freely eliminating swirls.
The HNT Gordon plane!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Another great video full of so many tips and tricks.
That's not just master carpentry; that's true art, as it challenges thought. It's also f*****g beautiful.
I agree100%!
Dude I nearly cackled when I saw what you were cutting out on the Shaper Origin! The perfect touch.
Absolutely beautiful love this kind of video and watching you create something. Keep up the amazing art and craftsmen ship. Thanks for sharing
That is absolutely gorgeous
I love it. Very beautifully done ❤❤
You've popped up in my feed pretty frequently and I seriously thought I was subscribed! I *_am_* now. Thanks Erik. What a great piece!
Great music. Your video quality continues to improve. Nice job!!
Noice. Very noice. Love the juxtaposition of the daggy unfinished/ rushed look of the drawer with the refined cabinet. Something kinda like what i do with my work, where I make a deliberate mistake somewhere in the piece. Tricky bit is pulling it off without it looking contrived and well bugger me, you nailed it Erik.
Thanks so much, Phil.
I only just thought of putting a feather board after the table saw blade for a jointing cut yesterday and, lo, you did exactly that in this video.
Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful piece of work and art, I love curves in timber work, it really shows care and attention to detail.
The drawer front is gorgeous too 🔥👏
Great post again! I just stumbled across your content about… 4-6mo ago and it’s quickly become my favorite channel, especially going back and watching old stuff and seeing the growth and evolution in quality and style. Well, maybe top 3 faves! Thank you for everything you’re doing! Gives us novice enthusiasts hope and motivation!
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying the channel 👊
@@ENCurtis Thank YOU, my friend, for doing what you’re doing!! Truly! 👊🏻
That is lovely. I like the juxtaposition of refinement with the unrefined. My whisk(e)y would look lovely inside that cabinet.
I’m not gonna lie. You hurt me a little bit with that Keurig coffee.
I just did a closeup on the board you used and somehow notice wormholes on one of the boards, quite shocked, in Israel when we working with material like that we immediately throw it away, not taking risks😅
Love your blend of complimentary design elements and the ‘surprise’ drawer features. Kudos!
Thanks so much!
Turned out great, some creative choices, dig the Stimson label!
ERIC,you beauty and the beast idea, gorgeous Eng wal, then boom jarring drawer box! With a gorgeous sculpted front,omg so good bro! That exactly what I'd do to! A little kick to the system! Way to go my man.
Very well crafted. You made the "crude" look easy and delicate.
Thank you!
Did i notice that right in one of those last shots of the drawer? Did you just nail the drawer together? If so, THAT feature is what makes this whole piece beautiful! Well done
Really appreciate the dissonance of this piece, mastermind, thanks for the vid!
That 2x4 stamp is awesome. I saw the nails coming but not the stamp. Well done
Thank you 👊
Well done sir
Thank you sire
Very beautiful piece Erik! I enjoyed the process and explanations in this high quality video. Nicely done.
Thank you!
I love that fancy look. I wasn’t happy with the shaper origin and I’m not sure why because normally I like that thing.
What is the gizmo you used to carve the door front. One day I want to learn carving but still working on doing the basic stuff perfect.
I love this video! Thank you!!
I live about 30 minutes away from the messler gallery, I'll go check it out
Please do! And say hi to Dorrie and Victoria for me!
Great vid! Loved the build!
Beautiful 🤘
Wow Eric, what a beautiful piece. I also noted you have added a slider to your table saw, I don't remember seeing that. I just did the same and really like it. Keep up the great work, its very inspiring and drives me to push myself to try new techniques. Martin.
You mentioned you took photos. Where can we see still photos of the cabinet? I think it is amazing and would love to see more to appreciate all the details you have included.
As always amazing inspiring and educational. Excellent video. Thanks.
Very nice piece. I think you achieved what you set out to do.
Thank you very much!
Looks spectacular!
Thank you!!
nice piece! I have to find some time to do some stuff for the gallery, it's been a while, never have time with all the commission work, have get some of my own ideas out there.
I pretty much like all your stuff, but I really, really, really liked this one! You went start to finish. Some stuff really detailed other stuff just skipped. Great job.
I held out until I'd have time to appreciate this video, it was worth it.
I tried "your" tung and beeswax finish on a box I've been using to learn. It's a lovely finish - can you recommend any resources where we can find about other finishes?
Thank you for your videos.
Beautiful. You do awesome work.
Thank you!
The textured drawer front was a stroke of genius.
Thank you!
I just signed up and went gold, baby👍
Not too shabby!
Excellent Erik,a beautiful piece. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Many thanks!
Beautiful thing and very interesting desing thought behind. Great work man.
Thank you! Cheers!
You gotta admire the craftsmanship in making an intentionally “questionable” element. Absolutely love the outcome and execution of the drawer.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! Just what I needed this morning. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
