- Beginning to explore art noveau with a pair of reclaimed pine nightstands. In part 1, I build the main structure, and in the next part I'll make tabletops and drawers. I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!
fantastic!!! cabriole legs with hand tools, the epitome of craftsmanship. love watching you work. very inspiring.
Thank you so much!
Thanks Gillis you are getting very good at this. It's a pleasure to watch your work progress.
Many thanks, that means a lot!
All that beautiful work and all without power tools . You are a ARTIST 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Tom!
My biggest respect as a cabinet maker keep on my colleague
Thank you so much, Andreas!
Please accept my appreciation and congratulations of Your work
Accepted and appreciated! Thank you!
It's a great monday whenever I get a nofication of a new Gillis Björk video. Thanks for making my monday ten times better!
Glad I could help with your monday! Thanks a bunch :)
I was wondering about those tiny tenons on the big rail blanks until I realized that those were the rough square parts that would be cut and carved later on. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing it. You are making me want to try taking videos of my work now too. Curse you! Ha ha ha.
Yeah it looks a bit funny until the shapes start emerging! Haha nice, I look forward to your videos.
Very nice cabriolet legs. Attention to detail and order of operations impeccable.
Many thanks, Anthony! Very happy to hear that.
So many of the woodworkers on my feed would go to a CNC for the sort of thing that causes you to reach for a divider & a shoulder knife. Such a breath of fresh air!
Gotta keep it fun! Yeah, I really don't understand the cnc trend, all other power tools make sense in some way but that one just feels... so very boring. Makes the maker so distanced from the work. It would sap all the joy out of the craft for me I think, make me feel like I go to a factory and not a workshop. I'm glad my old-fashionedness is fresh air to you, thanks Joel!
I'm impressed by the amount of work you put into these -- most people would use a scroll saw for the legs. And the beads on the front are super tasteful! Very inspiring work.
Thanks! I'd prefer a bandsaw I think, a scrollsaw has a bit short stroke length for this thick stock, right? But you make do with what you have :) Glad you like the bead!
@@GillisBjork Ah, sorry! I'm still pretty new to woodworking and didn't know there was a difference.
@@thainesmith no worries! I don't use either since I don't have electricity in my shop, but a scroll saw is more like the machine version of a coping saw, while a bandsaw is the machine version of a turning saw (which is what I used).
To work pine in a fine detail project is an act of great courage
Yeah not the smartest choice haha. But I had it sitting around and needed to use it for something!
This project demonstrates that a smaller piece is not necessarily less involved than a larger one.
Indeed! I have far more hours in these little tables already than I put into my massive live edge oak slab table, for example. I enjoy the detail work :)
When raising the panels if you do the long grain first it stops breakout when you do the end grain. Also I feel cheeky saying that because you're 20 times the woodworker i am!
Such a brave choice of wood species for carving and curves!!! Some tight grain structure would have helped quite a bit but your skills are going to improve with this choice of yours. Truly inspiring work
Thanks! It was more economical reasons than bravery, but it sure forces me to be disciplined with my sharpening!
I love watching all kinds of craftspeople, but your videos are always a treat to watch above the rest.
You've found a winning formula for your videos, so please keep it going! We all want to see you grow and succeed as a woodworker and youtuber! 🙏❤️🙌
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Wow amazing work 👏 👌. Thanks so much for talking us through your process 😮
Thank you, glad you liked it!
Coolest woodworker on yt is at it again! I love pine, not the easiest wood to work with handtools tough. Great job so far Gillis!
Thanks, not used to being called cool, but I'll take it! Pine is certainly challenging, but I like it too, it saws and planes really well at least.
Another video of inspiring work, beautifully done. I am convinced this channel will become the history of a master. Love seeing the experience gained over the years, can't wait for the next one!
Big thanks, I hope I can live up to your prediction!
Very impressive by hand, great work
Thanks a lot!
Been enjoying watching your videos , I have been building furniture for 40 years and still love it. I wanted to give you a heads up about a old guy that recently started a channel. Tom Smoller he is an american that does mostly 18th century stuff ,Chippendale, Stoddard, Heppelwhite etc.
Glad you enjoy! Nice, I'll check his channel out, thanks!
Wow. Well done.
Thank you, Alan!
So amazing! Great video and narration as well!!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!
My new favourite channel 🙂
Thank you so much!
Interesting way to use a Veritas shooting board plane. I have to try that myself one day.
Yeah it's a bit weird, but I like it :) Feels like I have more control over the direction and amount of force, but I could be imagining.
Wow! De som håller på med shaker-stil och annat helrakt kan gå och lägga sig jämfört, med det här!
Haha tackar! Jag gillar shaker också, men det är kul att utmana sig :)
Great hand made skills.
Thanks a bunch!
Nice work Gillis! I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Thanks! I hope the next part won’t take as long as this one did!
super impressive
Many thanks!
I wish you all the success in showing the world your passion at the workbench. I’m changing my workshop over to hand tools and am inspired by your work.
Thank you, glad I could inspire you!
great job as usual thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Awesome joining work and amazing shaping job ! 👍
Thank you very much!
Awesome
Thank you!
Stunning work, dude! They look amazing!!! 😃
Looking forward to part 2!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
Thank you very very much!
Nice work dude, hope all well 😃😃
Thank you!
Brilliant. I'm interested to see you do so much carving with a wide straight chisel. Is that so you can slice along the cutting edge with diagonal strokes?
Thank you! Yes, that’s exactly it :)
Seems so simple (watching from my bed) 😂
Could you give us an idea of the time spent on this magnificent pieces?
It is kind of simple, when you break it down into small steps, each one is not too hard! About 100 hours at this point, though that includes a bit of progress on the stuff that will go into the second video.
nice work
Thanks!
👏👍
Wow you are one of the more ambitious woodworking UA-camrs. Where do you get these ideas?
Thank you! Ah, the age old question of where ideas come from ;) Don't really know, probably just a mishmash of everything one sees. I always carry a sketchpad and draw quick concepts as they pop into my head, so I have far more ideas than I have time to build!
How much research was involved in a project like this?
Very hard to say, I’m constantly researching but rarely for a specific project, more for general techniques and such. For one build specifically, it’s more about designing and iterating than researching, although sometimes I of course need to look something up because of a design choice. I don’t think that was the case this time though, if I remember correctly.
Another great video....but I am struggling to understand why you would use a circular saw for cross-cutting, when everything else in the project is hand-tool work. Cross cutting is so easy with hand tools that I honestly can't see what you are achieving by using a power tool. I haven't watched the next episode yet, and I hope you round over the back edge of the legs, and shape the feet.
Thanks! Good questions. There was quite a lot of crosscutting to be done, so the circ saw saved a lot of time. There is also the aspect that long boards are annoying to handle in my small space, so cutting them down to size while I was outside made the parts more maneagable, and I already had the circ saw in hand so why change tool. I chose not to round the back of the legs this time, since they are quite slim and I didn’t want to remove more material. The feet were shaped in this video, the bead simply continues onto the feet. Didn’t feel like doing anything more complex there in this design, to keep the focus on the upper half and overall shape. I hope this answers your questions!
Stolt över dajj glissgliss
Haha tack
