I appreciate that when you explain something, you briefly refresh us even on the simple terms we all "should know." When I first started watching woodworking videos on UA-cam I asked one of the other popular channels on here what a butt joint was, because it was mentioned in the video but not explained, and they told me to go look in the mirror.
I swear that I learn more in these 7-10 minute video than I would in a whole semester of a woodworking class. Now I understand why you don’t glue these joints and what loose tenon actually means.
I'm just getting into woodworking and I really appreciate how your channel spells everything out, doesn't assume you know everything, doesn't treat you like an idiot, and gets straight to the point. Wood expansion and accounting for it in joinery is one of those topics that is talked about often but rarely explained as well as this.
I recently came across an 8-minute tutorial on "A common mistake of connecting corner desks and counter tops", and it was a breath of fresh air. The creator Stumpy Nubs has done an excellent job of packing a lot of useful information into a short timeframe without sacrificing clarity or quality. The flow of the video is seamless, with well-timed visuals and explanations that enhance the learning experience. He gets straight to the point, delivering the content with an energy and passion that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The video makes excellent use of visual aids and editing techniques to ensure that viewers can follow along without any confusion. The explanations are clear, concise, and accompanied by just the right amount of detail to be informative without being overwhelming. This is a prime example of how to create educational content that is both informative and enjoyable to watch. If you're looking for a tutorial that respects your time and provides a great learning experience, this is the one to watch.
Wow I'm really glad you made this video. I was going to join mine with dowels and pocket screws. I have never done a project like this, so now I'm going to have to learn how to use biscuits. Thanks.
That was one of the greatest UA-cam videos I've ever seen. Great language, comprehensive, very nice subject and tackling it for beginners even though one would realize about these problems later in their careers. No fluff or anything, just great woodworking. Thank you very much!
At 58 and thought I was burnt out on woodworking I am reinvigorated to continue woodworking for the rest of my days. I grew up with Norm and always learned by books and magazines. These videos are priceless to me. I can’t thank you enough.
You are batting 1,000. I have learned something important with every episode. ‘Excellent’ does not do your channel justice. Thank you for teaching me things I should have learned many years ago.
This is some high density information. You are extremely efficient with your words. The clear and concise manner you speak without wasting any time is very refreshing. In a 9 minute video I learned a lot and I appreciate it.
Now I see why my large miter jointed outdoor table failed so quickly in a really humid environment. I'm still learning a lot, but this was a major eye opener to the mechanical power of swelling wood. Cheers Stumpy!
I didn't understand the level of learning I was getting into starting this video. It really opened my eyes to joining pieces. Fantastic work. Thank you.
I love the clear concise language. I love the editing and the visual demonstrations you tie into the narration. Grade A teaching material. I seldom do woodworking but you're so good at teaching I just enjoy being here. I get an appreciation for the work that real craftsmen do and the reminder that the few projects I did do, I did wrong.
I use hand tools, so other woodworking videos talk about machines so don't make any sense to me or how I work. You have one of the few channels which has great info for all kinds of woodworkers. Thank you!
Every time I see you talking about simple joints, I'm always blown away with the depth of your knowledge. I love it, everything makes sense from explaining, and I'm learning a lot. Thanks for that!
Here in the UK the most common way to joint worktops is the "mason's mitre". It's essentially a hybrid of a butt-joint and a mitre joint which avoids the "mitre opening up" problem, however it is very unforgiving of mistakes during the cutting as you need the male and female sides of the joint to fit together perfectly. I'm told that people used to cut them with tenon saw, but these days we use a 1/2" router with a guide bush, in a jig. We also use dog bone bolts and biscuits to hold these together.
Just looking for this comment! I was going to say, normally I get out my Hitachi router and Trend jig and put in a funky joint that starts as a mitre and straightens out :D
It's not often that I loosely google what I think I'm looking for and then find EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Quoting a mitered butcher block counter top and this vid answered all I needed to know. Thanks!
I appreciate that you teach that there is an appropriate solution to each unique challenge and that a properly thought out approach will result in a project with a long, useful life.
I’ve been struggling to understand how to make a corner countertop for a while now. This video explains the solution and makes it sound easy. Thanks a ton!
That is the clearest explanation of a quite complex decision point for woodworkers that I have ever seen. This is days of tutoring in an apprenticeship.
Great topic, often misunderstood. Nothing worst than finding the counter top you worked so hard on developing a gap due to seasonal movement. As always, thank you for your great style and awesome ability to relay it to the masses.
Thanks James...awesome as always. Only 12 years too late...I built my bookshelves and wish I'd known this back then! Your ability to impart knowledge is superb and simple! The best way to teach! As always - a must watch!
Excellent video. I've been woodworking for many years but I learned A LOT from this video. Very clearly presented and very intelligent. This is what makes you one of the very best on UA-cam and a world better than when you tried the comedy approach. You're great.
I'm finding these videos extremely interesting and informative. I may never use these skill but knowing they exist means I can better talk to tradespeople about my needs.
This channel is such a wealth of information. You explain so clearly how and why problems can arise, then give all the options to overcome them and get a great finish. Thanks for these many nuggets of woodworking gold.
I appreciate all of your tutorials and have been watching your videos for a few months. I’m just getting in to woodworking and because of you yesterday I just received my Harvey C14 and Harvey 110LC-36P. Thank you I’m very excited about the new chapter in my life.
My favorite thing about your videos is how much background information you put in. I have rewatched a few videos because there is just so much to absorb, but I love it! As an information nerd and a budding crafter, I just love your style of mentoring. Very calm and well mannered approach. Thank You! and Happy Holidays!
You guys have no idea how much this video means to me. I'm about to start a project making an L shaped desk out of pine and I had no idea what would be the correct way in joining the 2 pieces. Thank you so much for this! Definitely earned a sub from me
I've gotten a growing interest in woodworking and your channel gives me so much information that I never knew about and haven't been told of and I'm feeling confident when I'm going to finally start working on my own projects that I won't be struggling. Thanks for making these :D
Love the shout out to Carter & Sons! I use mine with Stuart Batty carbon fiber handles... they're super quick to change out and have a nice feel to them.
I used a miter on a large basement bar, almost identical to your methods, including cutting with track saw and dog bones. I did decide to glue the joint, and haven’t had any problems with it opening, but I took a different approach and allowed one end of the bartop to float on the bar, allowing for movement. No regrets, five years later. It was the reason I bought the track saw…not sure how I’d got along without it!
As I've said before, I'm not a woodworker ... yet, as you were talking about the different joints, I thought to myself I wonder if a biscuit joining would be appropriate....and then you answered my question! As usual I've learnt something, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!
I enjoy your videos despite being a woodworking layman. The way you explain the items is both easily understood and provide a way to navigate around common starting errors.
I love this, I'm an a novice wood worker, I know the fundamentals. But this information is very interesting. Thermal expansion is one of the worlds most difficult engineering problem
Great video and explanation, I have been looking for that information for a few weeks now and struggled to get a decent explanation. You published this video just in time for me starting my kitchen renovation. Thank you.
Very useful, and I watched this at a good time for me. (Completely by accident, as I was not specifically looking for the information.) In a couple of weeks I am going to be doing a cabinet and countertop project. Now I know better ways to connect the pieces! Thanks.
Getting ready for a few wood projects and this helps me understand why things are built a certain way and not a different way. That different way would be my way, leading to inevitable failure in the future. Thanks for saving me the headaches of the future as I now know what each project needs and why.
I've just learned a lot of important things I didn't know. I didn't know about not using glue at those joints and because of this I was about to do this mistake in a personal project I'm doing in the near future. Thank you.
I'm so new I have yet to tackle a true woodworking project. While I'm building up to that stage, I find your videos so informative and valuable. I really enjoy your teaching style and your format. Please keep it up and once I get "settled in" a little bit better I will be sure to sign up for your newsletter and all of the other content you produce. Take care and have a good one :D 🖐
A wealth of thorough information with attention given to intricacies as well as the basics. Y’all are awesome; I appreciate the long and short of your lessons even when you go against the grain! Thank you -Castor
Whe I worked in "home depot equvalent" we had roting templates for the edges of butt jointed corners on counter tops. The made it so that the was a reliefcut on the long edge and the profiled portion of the short edge had a radius where it mated with the relief cut. The coutntertops were aligned with biscuits and held together with special screw clamps for easy removal as I remember. I could make a drawing of the setup if there are any questions or interest in making a video about the technique. It was pretty slick.
I was also thinking of work tops. A small mitre for the profile.then the butt joint. Then biscuits and the screw clamps. You use a jig profile for this. 😳
I work in the boatbuilding world. The difference between OK and master boatwrights is a solid engineering sense of the material. This channel provides consistently excellent technical material. The only down side is that you lure me into clearing out my savings for more tools- damn you.
Excellent lesson, James. Thanks for sharing. I've used those same "dog bone" connectors for years and they've really improved them greatly over the years. Do you remember when you had to use a proprietary driver for them? I'm glad they continued to refine them over the years. Scott
I’m still squarely in the newbie category however this video gave me so much *usable* information on wood movement, decision on joints and reasons for fastening that I didn’t even know I didn’t know. Thanks very much for that 👍
Thanks James. While I do not have any similar projects in the works, this is a great piece on dealing with wood movement. Thanks for making me a little smarter today
I have been coming back to watch this video again and again in preparation for making myself a custom desk. As the end of our house reno approaches and I will be able to do so, I made the decision to use pre-finished IKEA countertop that's bamboo veneer on particleboard. Would the expansion issues still occur with particleboard?
Man, the timing and mind-reading skill is awesome! Have just sanded my 2x2m desk top, and was wondering how I should join the two pieces together, since they are to heavy to mount forehand. You just made my day!
Outstanding video! I am working on a project where I have to deal with conflicting end grain and your video helped me better understand methods to deal with this issue!! Thank you for posting this helpful video!!
Wish I had seen this video when I built my large desk 4 years ago, I knew about wood movement but not enough to stop it, I was surprised how much of it failed. I spend a lot of time and money fixing this desk, I sealed it with Epoxy so hopefully no more failures.
Should have watched this before installing my butcher block counters. I used a hodgepodge of dowels, glue and dog bone fasteners on a butt joint. It was also my first foray into joinery.. 1 year later there is a tiny seam separation and slightly proud elevation of the long grain side. Depending on the day. Overall I'm still pleased and don't mind the errors. They tell the truth about me. Great video for future reference

Would a butterfly or bow tie joint work in this case or would that have the same issue when it comes to wood movement?

Whe I worked in "home depot equvalent" we had roting templates for the edges of butt jointed corners on counter tops. The made it so that the was a reliefcut on the long edge and the profiled portion of the short edge had a radius where it mated with the relief cut. The coutntertops were aligned with biscuits and held together with special screw clamps for easy removal as I remember. I could make a drawing of the setup if there are any questions or interest in making a video about the technique. It was pretty slick.
I was also thinking of work tops. A small mitre for the profile.then the butt joint. Then biscuits and the screw clamps. You use a jig profile for this. 😳
