I’m just garage shop guy and I built something almost exactly the same as this piece minus the bow top. It was commissioned by my in-laws.

I told them they got a good deal seeing how long it actually took to make and then finish.
I think you got one of the best woodworking channels: just good craftsmanship and useful projects and no semi-professional blabla and idiotic toolporn like many other channels. Keep up the good work!
toolporn requires more than just using certain brands, it's all about bragging about the stuff you use, emphasizing the costs of it, comparing it with other (less expensive) brands etc.. Joey doesn't do this, he just uses the tools for what they are: tools. I watched every vid he made, and I can't remember he even mentioned 'Festool' once.
I’m so glad you included the challenge of the curved piece on top. It’s comforting to see other furniture makers get seriously slowed down by “head-scratching-how-in-the-hell-am-I-gonna-do-this” moments! Makes me feel better.
Joey, I am always just in awe at your skill and artistry when I watch your videos. You are definitely one craftsman that I always look forward to viewing.
Nice looking piece of furniture. When I saw the finished product at the beginning of the video, I sort of gulped at the amount of work required, but as you went through the various stages of the build it didn't seem so daunting. Great work on the CNC and how you did this. And BTW I agree will be so much better if it has a clear finish (and no stain) Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
This is beautiful. I don't have the tools and room to do this but I have always wondered how some of the details like the curved top were made. I really enjoyed watching you make it!
This is a very nice armoire and I really appreciate the way you built it. With respect to your comment on making the mouldings, I say this: You achieved a perfect outcome using the tools and techniques available to you in the time you had available. Enough said! Andre Roubo would have given blood for a CNC machine! Well done!
Gorgeous turn out. I like the beaded tongue and groove instead of a chunk of ply. The cnc....i don't mind it here. You have some that are either all against or all for but I think it like every tool has it's place. Ther thing I don't like is when someoner does an entire build video with the cnc while stuffing donuts down their face 15 minutes later it's s jigsaw puzzle assembly. I liked you admitted using it but didn't take half your build video on it. Thanks and glad to see you back in tyhe shop more.
Nice video. The closet looks great. I think it was a very nice and expensive job. For the shackles, there are shackles hole drills. This means that the drill hole is always in the middle
Hi Joey, great work! .. I have a request. Would it be possible for you to specify a few things in new projects, such as how many hours it took, how much in materials, how much it sells for? Not sure if you would want to disclose that info, but I'd find it interesting. Thanks!
Beautiful piece Joey. I wouldn't worry about the naysayers. Sometimes the CNC is the right tool. I think most people just get frustrated with some of the UA-camrs who look for reasons to use the CNC as entertainment for their viewers. Newsflash. Watching a CNC machine run for 20 minutes isn't very entertaining or educational. You did it perfect. You explained why you used it, (which made sense) and then showed a 25 second clip of the CNC and then back to showing us things from which we can actually learn to be better woodworkers. Great video.
Love your work.could I ask what kind of router table you have there. Looks like it is well made with cast iron top and rugged fince and dust collection. Keep up the good work, thanks , Bob
Loved watching this, great video as always :) Just a thought on the steam bending of the moulding I'm not positive on this but I'm pretty sure that the / one of the main reasons you had trouble with this is that its almost impossible to steam bend kiln dried timber. I think air dried can work but green is the best. looking forward to your next video.
yes thats what i have read too however i have done a bunch of steam bending with kiln dried timber and found it works pretty good, its just the tight radius i think that did it. plus not a super good set up. ,
awesome job, I wish I could do similar projects for my clients, but since that 's not the case I make the most difficult things for myself. Question, do you use spiral router bits for pattern routing and if yes have you noticed differences in performance compared to straight bits, I saw you had to do some upwards cutting. And your router table seems to be almost a light version spindle moulder, I suppose it's at least 1600 W and holds 1/2 inch router bits or bigger, right?
+Bart Loncke yea I have a 3 horse router in that table and it will take up to a 60mm diameter cutter. That Patten bit is actually a straight cutter with top and bottom bearings and replaceable blades. I don't Have a spiral Patten bit but have found regular 12mm down cut bits to be very hungry in that they like to pull and grab heaps when grooving. Cheers
Nice job. I would have made the top curved molding from solid wood thin strips then routed the profile but I do have quite a few large roman ogee carbide router bits. I have a lot of experience making curved moldings in various profiles from small to large. A shaper with a power feed will make short work of these things but many ways to skin a cat.
Hi Joey that's a really nice job mate , the scotia you mentioned in the end of video , I actually did similar, but ,not as curved, I just routed off a template to a piece of maple already thicknessed with the curved front edge already completed and then cut the back with bandsaw and sanded and turned out a fair curved scotia curved , and may I ask Joey were did you buy the Green Glue bottle puffer ?
A superb piece of work - very well done I do hope it gets a clear coat finish after the time and trouble taken with the construction. Have you considered a few cedar slats in the shelving - a wonderful aroma for a linen cupboard Chris
I ordered tiger maple bookcase from a craftsman in Vermont. 15 year ago it cost me 2500 USD. A bargain. Wood finishing and joinery is an art when properly done.
Nice work Joey have you seen Marc Sommerfelds technique of using tongue and groove to join cabs sides to front? Very slick. Also, I think bent molding is much prettier because there is no end grain exposed. I think if you rived the wood (split rather than sawn) it will bend much better. This follows the long grain fibers. I learned this from Curtis Buchanan chairmaker.
I'm not a fan of the CNC, but like all tools it has it's place. But you did a magnificent job as always. If I were gonna have someone build furniture for me I'd want it to be you Joey
Wow, that last finish detail was complicated (don't try this at home) . . . beautiful work. There seems to be a green tinge to the French Oak, almost looks like our popular . . . maybe just the camera light . . .
Hi Joe, good work once again and good idea for the CNC. I would just like to ask you a question concerning your pants CAT. What is the reference of the pants to CAT? Thank you
its from a local supplier, they found a bunch on a pellet stacked away somewhere. its a rubber bottle with cast aluminum top and brass nozzle. you can contact Access group and ask them . www.accessgroup.co.nz/
Did you try to soak the wood in fabric softener and water for 7 days before bending it as most wood nowadays is air dried or treated in some form or other it really need soaking
Most timber is infact kiln dried as it's a much faster process than the 3 years needed for air dried. The steaming process softens the lignin in the timber making it pliable. Interestingly kiln drying timber disturbs the lignin mening air dried timber typically bends better but is harder to find.
Just try the fabric softener our family made coffins with Kurf bends bending wood is fickle anything could put it out balance to fresh around to long to dry to wet got slightly damp you near get 100% results every time what's to lose
At the risk of sounding a bit boring - loving your work Joey ! I don't mean any offence, but it's interesting to see the difficulties you encountered and how you overcame them. Given I specialise in IT, it's too easy to assume sometimes everyone has the solution to every issue - and that's not always the case. A lesson in life ! Good job sir

gotta be the best woodworker +woodworking channel on UA-cam. absolutely stunning cabinet.

well, Biff, if you watched carefully, you may have noticed he isn't a hobbyist but runs a professional shop...
GM p
This man does beautiful work
GM, toolporn! Haha, well said. I completely agree with you.
Amazing, that is what you call true craftsmanship.
Very nice job Joey, thanks for sharing this with us. Really appreciated that you showed us your bending experiences.
I’m so glad you included the challenge of the curved piece on top. It’s comforting to see other furniture makers get seriously slowed down by “head-scratching-how-in-the-hell-am-I-gonna-do-this” moments! Makes me feel better.

Joey, I am always just in awe at your skill and artistry when I watch your videos. You are definitely one craftsman that I always look forward to viewing.
+Ryk Haviland thank you!
i keep telling, you are the best REAL woodworker on youtube, not just a youtuber, congratulations, beautiful work as always
thanks !
Nice job Joe . Cnc is way to go if you make your leaving with woodworking. If you making for your self and have 5 months is a different thing .
thats true, even so i try not to use it very much at all. the set up times is almost always a killer.
Beautiful work this piece is awesome and I'm with you clear coats show off all the grain. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Magnificent build Joey. I Like the approach to the bonnet and the molding.
Hey cheers Guy
Fantastic project. I learn a lot from your channel. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks!

This is beautiful. I don't have the tools and room to do this but I have always wondered how some of the details like the curved top were made. I really enjoyed watching you make it!
I was gonna recommend Matt’s video glad y’all found it, that’s a beautiful armoire. Great job

This is stunning! What an artist you are...beautiful!
Channel is a hidden gem
Nice video.
The closet looks great.
I think it was a very nice and expensive job.
For the shackles, there are shackles hole drills.
This means that the drill hole is always in the middle
Good stuff Joey. Very nice work. Thanks for the detailed video and showing your experimentations (failed and successful).
Awesome build! Fingers crossed for the clear coat - it's such a shame to see expensive exotic timbers being stained or painted
Beautiful work as always Joey.

Great work Mate .👍🏻🇨🇦
Hi there from Portugal,
Nice Armoire :D
Obrigado(Thanks)
thanks
ऊएऐपठठ की
Imagine cutting the mitres short on those top mouldings! Beautiful work mate
Very awesome job sir . Was amazing to watch .
Love your work.could I ask what kind of router table you have there. Looks like it is well made with cast iron top and rugged fince and dust collection. Keep up the good work, thanks , Bob
oh that's gorgeous! great job!
Beautifully crafted, respect.
+Steve Wood cheers
absolutely incredible job on this one. Very inspiring!
armoir dem
Turned out fantastic brother great job
Nice work! I love using my CNC machine (tool) when I can.
Great video !.So many can learn from this. Good luck in your job.
must be the worlds best laundry cupboard. as always a great project well done.
cheers
Beautiful work.
great work. You do whatever is needed to get the jobs done!
Joe you're the man ! Amazing job.
Do you do courses or classes ? I'll be very interested for a couple of days with you in the shop.
+Fabien Le Gall yea there is some info on my website.
3 dislikes? Should be ashamed of yourselves! How could you not like this craftsmanship
Agreed. The dislike option should be removed as some people click that option just because they want to be negative. Sad
Beautiful !
It was not an easy built but you always make the toughest job possible and easy, very nice built Joey! (y)
Nice job. I don't have a cnc for the crown molding. The rest of the piece looked pretty straight forward. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a fantastic job well done Joe
+TheDublin47 cheers

Espectacular !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another beautiful piece of work Joey. I have to say if it was me I like the dark stains but I understand you hoping for a clear finish. Great video.
+Bill Hantzopoulos cheers man
Looks great, where do you source your American veneer from?
Thanks
Question, are you not afraid that the base panel will open the joints on the side panels when it will expand? Thank you for another great video.
HI , i forgot to mention the base panel is quarter sawn , so the expansion will be top to bottom instead of front to back.
Great work!
Pretty awesome job Joey. CNC's? Well, just another woodworking tool :)
Nice job. I would have made the top curved molding from solid wood thin strips then routed the profile but I do have quite a few large roman ogee carbide router bits.

+Tom Thumb huh cool, the glue bottle is from Access group here in Auckland it's New old stock so you will need to ask about it.
Really nice job mate. You are good, very good
Great work and great channel keep it up joeie
amazing job as usual
That is a good job. I learned a lot. Hasta la vista boy!
A superb piece of work - very well done
I do hope it gets a clear coat finish after the time and trouble taken with the construction.
Have you considered a few cedar slats in the shelving - a wonderful aroma for a linen cupboard
Chris
hi thanks , yes i was going to add some cedar, but will run that by my client later.
excellent job fab
Omg it's a great piece of art
+Yasser Abdulnabi thanks
С таким инструментом это сделает любой.
Nice work man
Nicely done. I think noel abrams would be proud of that.
Hi Joey, Interesting Job. you have inspirid me to make a piece like this.
manuel fernandez
Good job;
God bless you
Very nice project! About how many hours do you have in it?
+woodaddict1 probably around 50 hrs
KingPost TimberWorks that's a beautiful project in the videos it seems like it only take me a few days.
I ordered tiger maple bookcase from a craftsman in Vermont. 15 year ago it cost me 2500 USD. A bargain. Wood finishing and joinery is an art when properly done.
awesome use of tools and time, its a utilitarian piece not a museum reproduction. Keep the videos coming.
Excellent vid, thanks for sharing. I noticed the stock you tried to steam bend wasn't straight grained.
Perfekt!!
gooseneck molding bud, its better than typical crown. Good job.
aaaah....now I too, understand the pleasure of watching.... :)
Nice work Joey have you seen Marc Sommerfelds technique of using tongue and groove to join cabs sides to front? Very slick. Also, I think bent molding is much prettier because there is no end grain exposed. I think if you rived the wood (split rather than sawn) it will bend much better. This follows the long grain fibers.

no haven't seen that technique , i agree about the molding timber.
I'm not a fan of the CNC, but like all tools it has it's place. But you did a magnificent job as always. If I were gonna have someone build furniture for me I'd want it to be you Joey
whats wrong about the CNC? all it does is saving a lot of time in most situations. normally you cant see the difference.
I make my projects, not a machine. If I'm gonna have a machine make it I might as well buy it made out of pressboard out of a factory
cheers, i feel pretty much the same way about CNC
Very cool, you have golden hands.
Wonderful.
Respect!
Nice work! Great Job. CNC is just another tool.
Wow, that last finish detail was complicated (don't try this at home) . . . beautiful work. There seems to be a green tinge to the French Oak, almost looks like our popular . . . maybe just the camera light . . .
thanks, yea i think its my poor lighting. is a pretty normal oak colour.
Hi Joe, good work once again and good idea for the CNC. I would just like to ask you a question concerning your pants CAT. What is the reference of the pants to CAT?
Thank you
+SPAWNY as In caterpillar tractors etc
Well done mate!!!
That squishy looking green bottle for the wood glue is genius what is it and where did you get it ?
its from a local supplier, they found a bunch on a pellet stacked away somewhere. its a rubber bottle with cast aluminum top and brass nozzle. you can contact Access group and ask them . www.accessgroup.co.nz/
Plyman for the veneer? How does the contact hold up for you? I have had issues using it when building speakers.
+jacobthellamer no got it through bbs who got it from prime panels
+jacobthellamer the contact glue is pretty shit for veneers , in this case though it's better than buying a vacuum pump kit thing.
veri nice good job
Stupendo!
Did you try to soak the wood in fabric softener and water for 7 days before bending it as most wood nowadays is air dried or treated in some form or other it really need soaking
