I can’t help but draw a parallel between two surgeons, one who works with wood and one who repaired my recent hernia. Great precision in both cases. True craftsmen who pay their exquisite attention to detail.
You Rob, as the wood surgeon, was a strong impression. I would hope that a MD would take the same care you take with the details. I’ll keep your half price offer in mind. Would you come back to Utah or would in need to come to Canada?
Absolutely loved this Video. The tape method to plane down the thickness. 👌 The cutting dovetails detail about the bottom being curved (that's where a lot of people make their 1st mistake) For me though (and this is where (in my experience) some make their 2nd mistake) I would trim the splines from the corner of the mitre. Using a Chisel. I couldn't risk the chance of any breakout on the top edge of the spline. A little slower. But, sometimes it's not all about speed. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Jamie
WOW ! Talk about Micro-woodworking. Yup, A Little Dab'll Do Ya. Sadly many people, myself included, have no idea of the finesse involved with something like this. Great job, as always.
Ye olde Azebiki Nokogiri (bellied Japanese saw) to the task of slitting that ebony veneer!!! Methinks it’s bloody brilliant indeed!! This Cosman bloke is crack on!! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵😂🇬🇧
Cool video as always, Rob. Thought I'd mention a variation on this idea of using sandpaper to hold thin material like you're doing here. I've found I can use the 3M sandblaster paper with the non-slip backing (not adhesive, just non-slip). I put the grit side down, and the work on the non-slip back. Then you can plane the thin stuff without the risk of hitting the abrasive.
Good job Rob! I use similar splines for my picture frames. I do a slight hollow on the bottom side go make sure it will not bump. And I do them much deeper to get all the possible strength.
Wow...that's amazing ...the first time I saw these in your other video I was thinking it is black plastic ...I never saw a wood so black...in Brazil we have Black Jacarandá but ebony is even darker...I loved the job and explanation Congratulations from Brazil
Could you do a video on doing a wood hinge box where the hinges are stopped short of the ends on a miter construction (like the one shown with walnut and holly in this video)?
Very cool look. Haha, fake dovetails - nice. Something I've found to plane really thin wood is lying it down on one of those red silicone mats that Woodcraft sells. As long as you keep the mat clean, the wood doesn't slide at all, and no chance of hitting sandpaper. Keep forgetting about CA glue for something like that. Maybe if I see enough of you doing that I have a chance of getting it into my thick head.
Looks amazing! But I have a question - when you were cutting the veneers at the table saw, you made a point to go super slow, is that to get a cleaner cut or to maintain more control? Thanks!
It’s my protest hair. I rent space to a barber and a second location to a hairdresser. Both businesses are single chairs. One year ago our lame Govt forced them to shut down for 15 days, threat to the community. All big box stores remained open. For a small business that is two weeks -no pay! Hair stays till overreach is gone!

I could have done your surgery at 1/2 price!!!!!!

Once again true craftsmanship speaks for itself
Appreciate the comment

yay but stunned at the plane over the sandpaper trick. !!!!
try it you will like it
That’s really cool. Being that thin is it really adding strength to the joint.
Thin, but the stress is along the length of the piece making it strong.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. As a beginner I would never have thought of this approach.
Glad it was helpful!
Superb craftsmanship! Thank you Rob for sharing your skills.
Thank you for watching and commenting
Good illusion. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thank you too
Very beautiful

Great video! Really like finished look. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very interesting stuff. Thanks~!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Ack! The sky is falling!!! Rob used a Japanese saw!!! 😂
Dont tell anyone
Nice
Not a single comment on the Japanese saw????? Comments in the next live should be interesting. Great video!!!
Great point!
Superb!
thanks for watching
thanks
Welcome
Could you do a video on doing a wood hinge box where the hinges are stopped short of the ends on a miter construction (like the one shown with walnut and holly in this video)?
We have already done that. Look for it in one of our recent wood hinge videos
Someone got a new plane!!!
nope
Very cool look. Haha, fake dovetails - nice.

Smoother surface and less chance of the sliver getting destroyed.
Very nicely done and looks great, but I do have to point out that that isn’t a 45. That’s a 135 degree angle
Yea I knew someone would say that when I say the edit
Maybe I missed it, but did you happen to mention if regular titebond or other wood glue would work as well, for example hide glue?
no use CA. The fit is too tight for PVA glue
Chasing down a 2 thou variation on that gaboon lmao that's crazy.
but it can be done
what did put on plane bed ??? looked like a prit glue stick ???
Plane wax. Acts as a lubricant for the sole of the plane.
@@KerryHall. thanks
its wax

I thought you would be doing this by hand. Not with power tools 😕
it was by hand except for slicing off the splines
