• A Fancy Dead Blow Hamm... -~-
We needed a shoe rack for a spot in our bathroom that always seems to collect shoes. Other than being narrow and having as much capacity as possible, I didn't have any restrictions on the design. So I decided to have some fun by designing something different and maybe a little weird. Made from African Mahogany and Curly Maple, the rack features four shelves held to the legs via through mortise and tenon joints. The rack tapers upward and the shelves get proportionally narrower as they go up. The wood is doing most of the visual work on this piece and the little details might go unnoticed. I found this to be a fun exercise in joinery and designing on the fly. And thankfully, it actually works quite well as a shoe rack.
Product note: I used to use a lot of epoxy for long glueups. Since working with Titebond, I've had an opportunity to sample their hide glue and this just might be my new go-to glue for complex assemblies. Check it out (affiliate link): amzn.to/2EhDb6r

Totally love the honesty of a project like this. Built for a purpose, trying new things, happy accidents along the way, functional in the end. Love hearing and seeing your thoughts throughout. Cheers, Marc!
The fixups to problems are good content and at times teach about getting out of potential dead ends.
You dont make mistakes. You have happy accidents.
I could not agree more.
Reminded me of an old school wood whisperer video - loved it!
I thought the same thing. Definitely has Eastern design elements that were prevalent in Marc's early builds.
I think a balance of fun, practical, "easier" projects and the more in depth very professional projects is a good idea. It gives those that are starting something to work with and build up to as their skills grow.
This is something that has been on my to do list for a long time....like 8 yrs lol. One day I will forge one...one day. Thanks for the upload
I like the less planned build. It gives you a better chance to explain the thought process as you go through it. No plan survives the initial point of contact... So sometimes seeing it evolve helps as much as seeing the finished product.
Even your mdf is fancy.
This is old school Marc personified...love the video presentation and all the little subtle techniques. More like this...and more flannel!!!
Not happy Wood Talk is over but I am happy we will get more Wood Whisperer content! Thanks for the video. Super cool build.
Long-time watcher, first time posting- love this style. Definitely keep it up…two years later…
Thanks for not acting like skip planing will result in a perfectly flat board. This caused a lot of frustration for me starting out with no jointer and I really wasted a lot of time and material thinking it was going to work like other content suggested.
I LOVE the no-plan style, more than the execution of techniques, it gives us a window into how you go about problem solving on the fly, which is probably where most of our 'amateur' projects show their warts.
I really liked the approach you took to this video. It didn't feel too fast, and it was really fun to see how you thought through the project on the fly and adapted when things didn't work out quite the way you intended at first.
Love the methodology used here. Great clean project and the final product shows the care and thought out into it.
Your videos are better than TV. They are fun to watch, the projects are usable and with the tips you give, even an inexperienced woodworker can get started. Keep making those videos! Greetings Christofix
You're definitely the most thorough and precise woodworker on UA-cam. Love watching everything you make, especially when you get to add your own touch to it.
Im a very inexperienced beginner to woodworking. However, with that said I work along side my dad. Who's a retired 45yr master carpenter. So I've worked with wood forever. But never to do "fine woodworking". I'm in the middle of building my first woodworking workbench. And I'm extremely excited to get into this stage of things. So thank you for the inspiration to continue down this path.
Keep freewheeling!! It's great to see / hear the design process and also the errors you find along the way.
Fun AND instructive. I really like the build/video because that's the way I build a lot of things - "How can I get what I need out of what I have."
I really like this type of project. It's fun to take 15 minutes and watch a project happen. It's also a quality project that's not too intimidating and makes it easy for us to modify it in our own way. I can see myself doing something like this to warm up before diving into a guild project.
I like these types of builds, small projects that are achievable in most home workshops yet test your skills.. Nice.
Great vid! I never have a plan when I’m building. I just look around the shop and see what I have and figure out what I can make.
This was a good balance of using hand tools and machinery to achieve a realistic goal for the average woodworker.
I miss the old TWW intro. Glad we still get a little TWW trumpets at the end. I like this build/video style mixed in. Not all projects are totally planned out. Fun to see the tequniques in a less stressful build to practice for when it really counts. Thanks Marc!
It's good to see you in this fashion of video. Even as a guild member, it's fun to just sit back and watch a build from start to finish. Looking forward to more in 2019
Great Video and I look forward to more like this. I enjoy the whole winging it approach to woodworking.
After listening to the last episode of Woodtalk and feeling sad :-(, watching Marc back to building more *small* projects again has made my day. Thanks and keep it up. :-)
You, sir, are the measuring stick that all of us compare ourselves against. Amazing!
Vote: I like the free flow presentation style. Still chocked full of useful tips & techniques. Thanks!
This project looks fantastic, I for one enjoyed this style of designing on the fly, as it showed us the thought processes behind each element, to create a cohesive result. An important lesson for everyone.
Love these type of videos. Way more practical and attainable for those of us who don't have as much time in the shop as they would like.
I think a lot of us hobbyist build this way, so its good seeing someone of your caliber building on the fly.
I've been follwing you for almost 10 years now. I'm still impressed with the quality of the videos and the explanations. You're one of the best teachers out there.
Creative, imaginative and excellent wood & grain combinations. More, please!
Great video! Practical build where you let inspiration choose the path to the final product. Also the flannel is a great shop tip. I'll have stock up.
I like this, seeing how woodworkers modify a design or fix mistakes is one of the most helpful for me in my shop
I did something similar for shoes. I had no plans and I actually used curly maple live edge for a cabinet top. It came out well and fits the farmhouse style of our place.
I love these kinds of builds. It's how I build more often than not, so seeing you fixing mistakes that come from improvisation is especially helpful.
These projects are more manageable to complete over a day or two. Very nice work.
Any WW project video is a project video worth watching. Thanks, Mark!
I'm a fan of this kind of play-and-have-fun project, and also the more complex, design-intensive stuff... Mostly though I'm a fan of you enjoying what you're doing, because that means better projects for us and more of them, so it's a win all around. 😊
I love this type of project and a throwback to your vids of the past. Where style meets day-to-day living; yes, more of these please!
Your approach to this project is how I approach virtually every one. A idea roughly sketched out with dimensions
I really like this format, it's easier to follow along and definitely more entertaining.
Minimal tool build, that could be achieved by your newbie maker are always good videos to have. Builds like these help get people started on their build.
Great video.
Love these quick city unstructured projects.
Love seeing both the techniques and the thinking process on this sort of video. Thanks!
Even though it was a relatively small project, it contained so many essential woodworking techniques that it seems almost like a mini-master course in G&G. I for one welcome any project like this that you feel like building. It doesn't have to be a monumental project every time; small projects are extremely worthwhile and pack a lot of info in an easily digestible timeframe.
Great Video and Project Marc. I really enjoyed the format of you having an idea but designing as you went. Always fun to see how others plan and then resolve any issues.
Great work love the wood contrast. I do like the free flowing projects better it is what got me into wood working. I also don't believe I have ever done a single project that I did not over complicate.
Loved the video. Everything about it. And definitely loved the curly maple. And thanks for not quitting... UA-cam
Yo Marc, I think this project was killer. It was a simple, no stress build but you showed a great way to cut through mortises, you talked about your design philosophy, why you did what you did, etc. I liked it. Just my style.
Isn't this just like life?
Great job, being able to adapt and accommodate is what everything is about, well partly. Loved the presentation, yes do more. The more unplanned work you do, the more All of what you have learned will come to the surface. Personally, I love to watch problem solving from others. It lends itself to perspectives unknown by the watcher, this teaching in a very pure form. Beautiful! Thanks you for the time you spent, bringing us this simple little journey, chalk full of technique, skill, and a little bit of problem solving. I'd love to see some serious solving. Keep it up, again, thanks
I can tell you had a blast just letting your creative juices flow. Nice job!
Great job. Always love the humor. It is a good project to show techniques and I appreciate that.
I’m a very visual learner so watching this video really helped me understand some good basic concepts you talk about in your Hybrid Woodworking book. Great project!
This going in without a plan, and focusing on the fun of it is my favorite kind of woodworking, especially if it turns out anything close to this. That shoe rack is a gorgeous piece, Marc. That curly maple is stunning. Job well done.
Love videos like these- no plans, no stress, just seeing what pops out at the end. Don't get me wrong, the Guild-style projects are great informationally- but seeing someone like you winging it makes me feel better about winging it, you know?
I do like this format. As you tried things, I was projecting those tricks/techniques onto a project that I am working on. It seems that I learned more from this project then some of the other projects. Thank you for sharing.
Nice job Marc! I'm getting so tired of the whole "Hey, look what I did with my CNC machine and laptop! I made sawdust so I'm a wood worker...right?" Beautiful wood and I love the visibility of the structural tenons and the whimsical curves and subtle touches. Nice chisel and plane work too. This is the kind of build I'm looking for so, yeah....do more like this. Well done.
Love the throw back to the classic format. Hope to see more from you.
I love this! It is like the old days! Fun, useful, and a good brush up on some skills. I would definitely enjoy more content like this!
You’re right on two things: I probably won’t ever make this, AND I learned a trick. Ok maybe 7 tricks. I’d love more of those please! 🙏🏻
I like these kinds of builds. Watching makers work through problems or try new things is very enjoyable.
This is great. Woodworking is supposed to be fun and that's why I do it. I like seeing someone having fun like they should.
Yes the design and change as needed building is great. As a new woodworker I do that alot. Nice to see how you over come things that don't go as planned. Keep up the great vids and thanks
Thats one of your better videos in a long time. You appeared to enjoy it more and I could tell in your presentation. Thanks.
Great little project! It almost feels like going back to your old podcast days, just a little more refined.
Keep building fun stuff! If you like building it, I will like watching and especially learning! Many thanks and great job!
Hi Rob
Really in joyed watching the build
And yes plans are nice to fallow
Mahogany is very nice to work with
Remember helping my dad
Who use to do wood work made a few nice projects in his time
He is gone now will never get to do that again
Love it. If it's not fun it's another job and I already have a job. Would love to see more like this Marc.
So beautiful wood ! This way to build is also my favourite way, solve problems as they occur, not at advance :-) Always have fun in the workshop, when you are building.
It's a pleasure to watch you.
Greetings from Denmark.
Love it. Nice to see you do a traditional UA-cam video on a build again.
Love the presentation style
Great project. I enjoy building small items that can be given to friends and family. I would like to see more like this.
I really enjoy and even prefer this sort of relaxed style. Thanks!
Love when people wing it. Makes it feel like us mortals can actually build this stuff. Looks awesome :)
This was really great. Thank you for showing us to have fun with not only the project but with any mistakes. Like Bob Ross says there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents. I would definitely like to see more builds likes this.
Beautiful! Would love to see more projects like these.
Just the way I like to work in my shop too! I spend a lot of time thinking about a project before I start - visualising what I want - then I put those ideas into practice in the construction. The little problems / challenges that come up along the way are what really make woodworking enjoyable for me, particularly developing the solutions that make it all work :) - a bit like how you modified the design to 'balance' the gap between the vertical sides. Nice one, thanks for the video...
Yes, I really appreciate this type of video! Thank you!
By the way, I've also been enjoying your old Wood Whisperer videos on Amazon Prime!
Completely love random builds like this! I have a career that involves tons of planning so when I get in my shop the last thing I want is structure or plans. It’s my time to be creative!
I really liked this video and showing your on the fly thought process.
Love the fresh video. Sad to see you guys sign off on woodtalk but happy to hear you're getting to refocus on what you want to do. Even with guild projects these random videos are still great.
Ya dude, it's fun to watch you have fun. I can always make plans off of your design if I wish.
Yes more like this would be great. Nice looking piece too.
Really liking this style of video. It relaxed me. Also, liking the reappearance of the infamous "boop"!
Like this style of presentation a lot and even with (or maybe because of) the flipancy I still learned something
Yes please do more of this type video's. Great job!
Beautiful contrasts and colors. Fun details, I'm working on getting there.
I just built one for my son. It had 4 shelves with lots of little slats which meant lots of joinery and sanding. I like your plan better. Wish I had seen it first.
This is awesome. Love seeing this kind of presentation. And the flannel is pretty too!
Wonderful video I appreciate you're attention to detail in the video and you're audio overlay. 10/10
Would love to see more projects like this one! Short and simple but lots of stuff to learn.
Really liked the "no plan" approach.
That looks great Mark. I love that awesome grain in both the maple and the mahogany.
Your style comes through loud and clear. It's really nice and I need to make a shoe rack myself, but I need one near the front door when people come in from the snow
Nice fun video. I'd certainly like to see more of this type of thing. Not least cos, honestly, I think this kind of winging' it project is what most hobby woodworkers find themselves doing.
Hey Marc, I have been following you for the last 10 years on your site and UA-cam and this video reminds me a lot of some of your earlier years content. Love these types of projects exposing various techniques. Always appreciate the quality and attention to detail that you bring to the table. Keep it up and look forward to your next build.
Probably my favorite video in a long time.
I liked the way the video flowed, the project was great.
i did like this kind of project...,,,,,,,,,,,,,not a thing wrong with it................sometimes i get tired of watching videos that have to be absolutely perfect,,,,,,,,,,,that was good to see how the legs became a little off center and you narrowed them to even them out,,,,,,,,,that has to happen to everybody a lot more than they admit.........good to see you show your mishaps........makes me feel normal..........thanks.......
