Came here from IG. Great video and excellent cabinet! I really appreciated the balance between showing the woodworking and telling us what you were doing through both text and talking. I'm happy you didn't narrate the entire thing. Typically, I would skip through a lot of a 30 minute video but found the pacing really well done to where I had no need to. Looking forward to seeing your future work!
You do really nice work! Video editing is very good. My only suggestion is to 86 the subtitles and insert your voice describing what you are doing. But I love that curly maple veneer! And you do a good job lightly peppering in some humor!
Thanks Grant! When I made the top, I pattern routed a matching piece out of 1/4” MDF to sit on the top when I play, as darts do occasionally bounce out. I also made a screen to cover the front for when my young kids play. I have all the bases covered!
I hope you keep making more pieces like this. I'd love to see that. When you vacuum sealed the veneer, my brain had a moment. I hope to learn why you did that in future videos. Congrats!
Hi Jessica. By removing all the air and creating a vacuum seal in the bag, it presses the veneer onto the board very evenly and with great force. It’s a really cool process. Hope this answer helps. I appreciate you watching!
I enjoyed this project very much and your sense of humor. Now if only you could add some secret compartments... :) Seriously, I liked your design approach and solution to the problem.
Absolutely gorgeous. Nice job. It's a beautiful upgrade! How is your vacuum bag working for you? It is the first time I've seen one where you had the manual pump instead of a mechanical pump.
Thanks so much, Anthony! This is the first project I used this system on and it worked flawlessly. The system (it’s made by Roarockit) is so much less expensive than one with a vacuum pump. All in for less than $200. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching, Richard! I do like those clamps. Really solidly built. I think Woodpeckers is making more and more gimmicky tools in the last few years, but this isn’t one of them. They do a great job keeping everything flat and pulled tight. Thanks again!
Totally blown away by the care you took to build this. Amazing work and yes, the edge detail totally made it. Will you be making a Grand piano, or just a pair of uprights? ;-)
Sounds like you might be in the Hudson Valley. Hello from Greenville, NY. You have an incredible skill level. How did you develop your skills? Also, if you don't mind, what was the tool you used at 23:30 - some sort of drill guide? Thank you.
Hi Vincent. I’m in New City which is in Rockland. I appreciate the compliment! I’ve been woodworking about ten years. I’ve taken a few classes over the years but mostly it’s trying out new techniques in magazines and videos and working them into my projects. Some things have come easier. For example, my turning skills are atrocious!
Amazing piece. I had a couple of questions about your veneered panel. How’d you make the MDF template? Did you get accurate cuts using the veneer saw off that template, or did you have to tune things up with a plane? I’ve been looking at doing a “sunburst” veneer panel soon, but need a little help with some of the details.
Hi Cliff. Thanks for the question. I used a protractor to mark the 18 degree angle on the 1/4” MDF. I then put the MDF on a tapering jig (I used a Rockler one that I’ve had for ages) and lined up my drawn line with the edge of the jig and ran it through the table saw. And I was able to get accurate and clean veneer segments straight from the veneer saw (which happened to be very new and very sharp). Hope this helps and happy to help with any other questions if you have them.
Very good! Nice piece of furniture. I enjoyed seeing the well presented variety of techniques. Yeah, Osmo is great. If you didn't have a Domino, what method would you use for the shelves? Stopped dados with router, dowels, through tenons, etc.? I use an adjustable jig for shelf thickness with pattern bit, but it takes a while (got to be a better way) and gives me the sweats after comitting to the cut! Saw your post on Reddit. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! I would have used either tapered sliding dovetails or traditional mortise and tenons. The Domino has really been a game changer, for me at least, in terms of time-savings. I’ve never regretted purchasing it.
Finally a maker who sands & finishes wood before assembly. I just roll my eyes when I watch someone try to sand in the corners after assembly.
You have a great sense of humor. Please keep it up!
Thanks for the vid!
I appreciate you watching. Thanks!

Seems we share similar thoughts on too much narration and too much filler in videos. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the video, Joseph!
beautiful piece of furniture!
i also really like your style of the video! go on!
Thank you! Will do!
I love the dovetails, turned out amazing!
I appreciate the kind words!
Great project , thanks so much.
Thanks for watching, Rodney. I appreciate it!
Beautiful piece of furniture.
Thanks, Luis!
Fantastic work. I enjoyed the video very much. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you kindly, Shawn! Looking forward to starting a new project and video in the coming days.
Love the design❤ Great detail and such clean lines!
Thank you so much!

I appreciate the kind words and the feedback, Anthony!
I second this suggestion. Keep up the good work Kevin.
Awesome! Surprised to hear it took two months and 100 hours of work, you made it seem so easy! Came out beautifully!
Looks easy because I left all the screw-ups and cursing on the cutting room floor. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Nice project Kevin. I enjoyed it. I really hope your channel grows faster than mine has. I’m subscribed.
Much appreciated Gary. Just subbed to yours. Looking forward to checking out your content.
@@quillwoodworks cool.
Great work! I’d be terrified of a dart falling off the board and sticking into that beautiful case top.
Thanks Grant! When I made the top, I pattern routed a matching piece out of 1/4” MDF to sit on the top when I play, as darts do occasionally bounce out. I also made a screen to cover the front for when my young kids play. I have all the bases covered!
Nice work, and design.

Do you like the clampzilla caul clamps

@@quillwoodworks thanks man! Look forward to more videos! :)

Just checked the scrap pile. I just have enough for a baby grand. Very disappointing! :). Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Terrific stuff. You are a natural. Question: Do you use water, or something else to wet the veneer tape before card scraping?
Hi Bill. Just plain tap water was used. Thanks for checking out the videos!
Holy mother of God/Oprah! While watching this, I was so moved that instinctively threw my bra at the screen. Well done, man!!!
Ha!!! Thank you, Brandon. My first bra toss!

Your style reminds me a little of Jon Peters! If you haven’t seen his videos check him out and you’ll see what I mean.
