Let me try to explain your 5° taper issue in ASCII. :-) Below you can see the rear view of the leg on the tablesaw. The diagonal line is your blade cutting the taper. |\ | | \ | | \ | You have set the blade-height to end up with a full width leg. So you aligned it with the upper piece of the leg. As long as you 'lift your leg up' using a support piece to the same height, the width of the leg is maintained since the blade will cut the upperpart at the exact same height (only the top of the blade touches the upper side of your piece). But without support piece, the lower part of your leg ends up lower on your table saw (and also on your blade), which means the blade is ripping the leg narrower because it is not the upper part of your blade touching that piece, but the middle part of the blade, which is closer to your fence at the bottom than it is at the top. As I read through it again, it might make the entire thing seem more complex, but hey, just my 2 cents :-)
You sir have a gift to teach! Will admit i had to read it few times, but when it clicked, cant imagine any better way of explaining it, even more a better illustration! Amazing!!
Hi Keith. I have purchased the plans for this project and built a cabinet for my daughter using many of the ideas in this video. Thanks for sharing your beautiful designs and building methods. Regarding the use of both soft close hinges and push to open mechanisms (23:48), I have a very simple idea: Every time a door is opened, immediately push the piston of the push-to-open mechanism closed with your finger. This way, when the door is soft closed, it will close up to the pre-closed piston as a stop and be ready to be pushed to open again. I hope it makes sense.
That is a great idea! And thanks so much buying the plans and watching my videos. Glad to hear you were able to build something wonderful for your daughter!
Keith, I think you might be the male version of me. The cats, the La Croix, style of furniture… and after listening to your podcast I can tell you’re a bit of an introvert. Glad I found you; I love watching and listening.
I bet Jason was loving when that drawer kept popping open 😂😂 always nice to have a friend when things don’t go as planned lol. Also bet he loved the pocket screws. Looks great man! Thanks for the content!
I like that you included prices and total. I hope you don’t get too many comments about it being high when that’s the reality. Enjoyed the different drawers. Good way for me to try different methods without waiting for multiple projects.
Thanks man! No comments on prices...just that people like that I include them. Sometimes I don't realize the true cost of things until I add everything up at the end.
Beautiful cabinet! The push-to-open drawer slides look like they are push-to-close when you use the push-to-open, but soft-close when you just pull them open.
Great video! It’s great to finally see some pricing included in the videos. Something not many woodworkers post along with their builds. Also Jason flipping the cabinet is a great touch! Awesome video Keith!
Thanks Peter! Pricing seems to be a popular feature, so I will definitely include it in future videos whenever possible. And Jason was instrumental in that flip 😜
Awesome, thanks! Yeah, it's definitely hard to find, but i think it's such a cool product! I'm going to track down a big sheet and use for an MFT style workbench top.
Man, I love watching your custom builds Keith! Every video you put out is so satisfying to watch, plus I get to learn so much just by paying attention to those details that make a world of a difference! I do wonder though, if Jerry and Lola are ok with you filming content on their company time?
Thank you for showing your thought process and even mistakes and how you solve them. It gives me confidence to be creative and be Ok with mistakes. Sometimes I feel down when I see how perfect things turn out for others and mine are wonky. 😂
You are so welcome! Editing can hide and gloss over a lot of mistakes. There isn't time to show them all, but take comfort in the fact that we ALL make multiple mistakes and ran into multiple issues on every project.
Great video with attention to a lot of detail. I also appreciate that you were so open about the material costs for this project. Personally I'm not a fan of the mdf doors, but mostly due to their color. Overall very impressive stuff once again, thanks for sharing this build with us!
Thanks very much! I completely understand not liking the color of the doors...it's certainly personal preference. Once in a while I like to try something different 😜
Nice build! I already noticed the cabinet during the octagonal bench build and was wondering when the video would show up. Thanks for clearing things up on the tipon+sofclose door mechanism. Who would ask such silly questions 😜
😂🤣 Thanks man. I had to finish installing the drawers the day we started working on the octagon bench 😂. And I’ve learned to try and get ahead of questions, but I’m not always successful 😜
I’ve been looking for suppliers of valchromat in my area but keep coming up short. The only two I’ve found so far in the states are located on the coasts, New York and California. And unfortunately both are charging pretty hefty markups and are just as pricey to ship. Any suggestions or recommendations for someone in the middle of the country? 😂 I live in Texas.
Another awesome build Keith! 👍🏻 I really like those doors too! Never used that kind of material before! Plus it was cat approved! 😺🐈 Thank you for sharing!
Although your table saw blade is parallel front to back, check it is also parallel top to bottom. It may be slightly out on its vertical axis. Most woodworkers only measure front and back because half the blade is buried below table level which cannot easily be accessed
I have the same saw as Keith. Its brand new, and I noticed that the width of the fence is concave by a few mils. I’d bet that by not referencing the same width of fence for the whole part, it introduces some turn in the part as it gets cut, and would be magnified if the fence falls out of square with the table. This perhaps explains why the wedge jig fixed the issue. Thanks for discovering this before I had to, Keith!
My imagination says that Jerry told you that a little extra "umph" was needed for the drawer slides to work properly...the only problem with that is I didn't figure that is how Jerry would sound! Just as well since Jerry can't help you upright the cabinet. Keith, those drawer slides reminded me of something I saw once on Battlestar Galactica! I love the colored MDF and watching finish applied to walnut never gets old! It is awesome perfection and I hope it's for you! Love to your feline helpers.
Thanks so much, Juliet!! And OMG I didn't even consider that it could have been Jerry with the off-screen commentary...so funny that you connected the dots on that. 😹. And now it's making me crack up. And yes, those drawer slides are a bit crazy and I have a feeling I will end up putting pulls on them eventually because technology on furniture isn't always long lasting...😜😂
Very nice cabinet and the legs are very unique. I have to admit I'm on the fence with the 2 different color doors. But hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? Keep up the fantastic work my friend.
The cabinet turned out awesome! Would you mind telling me what ruler you were using to check the thickness after milling? It looked very handy. Thanks, and keep the great content coming!
Took me a while to figure out why you’re getting different widths on that bevel cut. Since your blade is at an angle, the top of the blade is farther away from the fence than the middle of the blade. Since your piece was taller in the front than in the back, only a portion of it was being cut by the top of the blade, which again was farther away from the fence than the rest of the blade. Crazy! Hopefully that makes sense.
So. In the Army when we encounter a situation like that with no real explanation of how or why, we just say. Well it’s good for government work. Even now. In my shop. When I’m alone. I still say that when I am making things. Lol. Looks fantastic man!
“skin so white, that it’s blue” 😂 This is super nice and very kind of Jason to fly all that way to help. You must have just had the right bottle of bourbon lying around. I really like the use of brass too; it adds such a lovely contrast to the walnut. May I ask why the different colour doors? Do they match a theme in the room? Anyway, a great job as always and another enjoyable edit. Thanks.
Thanks Chris! No Bourbon on this house, so he was forced to drink LaCroix non-stop. 😂. I went with the multi-colored doors for more of modern look and our dining room needed a subtle pop of color. I like the visual interest of unmatched colors as well. And hey, if my tastes change, I can always paint them or just make new doors!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking. Ah, of course, the LaCroix! It’s a regular podcast tipple, isn’t it? An added bit of colour… I see. Well, it certainly does add a nice touch of colour, but I completely forgot that you could just paint them 🤦🏻♂️ Have a good’un, Keith 👍
Nice work! It was very helpful to show how the Blum Movento slides work and links to all the various parts needed. You might consider doing a video on selection, sizing and installation of Blum hinges and slides. Blum's documentation is not easy to digest and other instructional videos are lacking.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Just watched the drawer making video. You mentioned you would post a link to your favorite Blum site (Bent? Woodwork) but I don't see the link.
Love the build and really, really learn a lot from your thought process and the precision in which you approach things. Thanks! I’m down the road from you in New Hope, PA if you ever need an apprentice. :)
Yes, those angles. As the top surface was inclining down while the sawblade was splaying out that caused the out of parallel to the fence. Easiest way fo course would be to layout and break out that hand planes, but that would not be Keith would it :) Beautiful build by the way
😂 No, that would not be me! I appreciate the explanation...others explained it as well and I do understand now...so thanks for taking the time to help me out. And thanks for the kind words!!
Did you get new video equipment cause the quality of the picture in this video is amazing. Or maybe your filming techniques are just getting better. Also, thanks for putting me on to Bourbon Moth Woodworking. Jason's style is very similar to yours as well as his personality. Really great video you guys collaborated on last week too.
It's all about the lighting, Matthew!! All new American Green Lights LED's in the shop. I will have a video out soon on the installation and color differences, etc. But I am still filming everything on my iphone 11. And you're welcome for the intro into the world of Bourbon Moth...you'll never leave...😜😂
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I can't believe you're getting that quality out of the iPhone 11. Guess it's a testament to how good the camera is on that phone. I have been binging Jason's videos since I've seen all of yours. I really like the length of his and your videos. Not super long but long enough that you can give detail on everything you're doing.
@@plasmac9 Yeah, the iPhone is all you need to create quality video. And it fits in your pocket!! All Jason’s videos are great, but pace yourself so you don’t burn through all of them too quickly 😂
Keith-random question…have you ever used a pantorouter? Seems like it’s precision would really speak to you. I’m contemplating getting one so just wondering, from someone’s who work I really respect, if you’ve used one and what you thought?
Hey Mindy! I’ve never used a Panto router. And the reason for that is… The Festool domino. The domino is so much more versatile being able to take the tool to the work, whereas the Panto router is a stationary tool and you have to take the work to it. It also requires shop space that I don’t really have. So it can only be used in the workshop. I definitely see the value in it if you are batching out joinery for tables and chairs on a regular basis, but I’m not. The Domino gets it done for me. Hope this helps.
I came back to this to ask where you got the Valchromat and of course you already had it in the description! Any chance you know if Chris is still at the company and is the code still valid? Decided to watch the video again anyway since it’s such a good one!
Hey Keith! Beatiful job there ! And also nice to know bout new material use. Tell me , please, what is your festool sander 3 or 5 oscilation range? What is better (3 or 5) for woodworking use ?
Hi Keith, another great build. I know I know, I can't stop watching your videos. Question -- at 18:39 when you're cutting the trim that will cover the exposed plywood for the front of the cabinet, it looks like you used the freshly-sawn back of the trim pieces and glued them to the plywood and it turned out great. But when I've tried this in the past, I've always had little gaps here and there that were visible between the plywood and the back of the trim, I guess because of the tiny imperfections introduced by the saw blade marks. This made me think I should joint the back of the trim before gluing it on, in order to try to get a really snug, gap-free fit. Do you think this is unnecessary, or should I use a sander or hand plane? Would love to hear your feedback on this issue. Thanks
Hey Carl. That little gap is most likely introduced from the fuzz on the edges of the plywood, but could also be a result of a poor table saw cut on the glue edge of your trim. It's also difficult to get good clamping pressure on that edge banding when there is only one small square edge left after it's beveled. Another method to try is to apply square edge banding on all your cabinet parts so you can get good clamping pressure all along the edge and then chamfer them and cut your miters.
The reason why the leg comes out tapered is because the blade is only parallel to the fence in a straight (horizontal) line. The lower you get on the blade the closer it gets to the fence, So when you cut the leg it gets tapered. Raising the leg up helps because the upper part of the leg is horizontal now and the cut width is the same front and back of the leg.
Looks awesome, really good work. About how many hours did you put into this build? What made you decide to go with this drawer hardware as opposed to something you are more familiar/comfortable with? I've heard many times that Jason is a really good guy, but you must be A REALLY GOOD GUY if he flew all the way there just to flip that cabinet haha! Have a good one :D
I'm never really sure on hours in any build because so much time is spent filming and adjust the camera, as well as working on other projects in between. I use Blum undermounts all the time, so these slides were still in the same "family", but just have different features. Building custom furniture means you need to stay on the edge of what's out there so you can offer your clients different options.
Absolutely wonderful video. Enjoyable from beginning to end. That walnut makes me drool. Such a beautiful cabinet. Completely unrelated: your cat is so chill. Did he light up a blunt earlier that day? :)
Let me try to explain your 5° taper issue in ASCII. :-)

ok, ok, ok.... I think this DOES make sense!!! The lightbulb has gone off!! Thank you so much!! 👊
This would have been impossible to grasp without that ascii drawing. I could not follow the words. Excellent use of old tech. :)
Why is the middle of the blade closer to the fence than the top?
@@zacharytreat9223 Because it is at an angle.

"I'm just gonna move on"... Can't tell you how many times I've said that to myself on a project... Great work as usual.
😂😜 thanks man! I would like to know why, but I think you have to cut the 5 degree bevels on the sides first and then cut the taper on the sled.
Fantastic work on this one, Keith!
Thanks Eric!! I needed to get back to my walnut roots! 😜😂

Glad it was helpful! And I know! That catalog is bonkers with technical specs. It has me scratching my head all the time.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Just watched the drawer making video. You mentioned you would post a link to your favorite Blum site (Bent? Woodwork) but I don't see the link.

Nice legs Keith! Haha, keep them coming!
Mine are even skinnier! 😜😂
Amazing ... what an expensive items
Thanks!
Love the build and really, really learn a lot from your thought process and the precision in which you approach things. Thanks! I’m down the road from you in New Hope, PA if you ever need an apprentice. :)
Awesome, thank you! Good to know! 🙏👍
Yes, those angles. As the top surface was inclining down while the sawblade was splaying out that caused the out of parallel to the fence.
Easiest way fo course would be to layout and break out that hand planes, but that would not be Keith would it :)
Beautiful build by the way
😂 No, that would not be me! I appreciate the explanation...others explained it as well and I do understand now...so thanks for taking the time to help me out. And thanks for the kind words!!
Really good commenting man. Do you have to be good at everything?!? Gosh!!!
😂 Too kind!! Thanks man!
Did you get new video equipment cause the quality of the picture in this video is amazing. Or maybe your filming techniques are just getting better.
Also, thanks for putting me on to Bourbon Moth Woodworking. Jason's style is very similar to yours as well as his personality. Really great video you guys collaborated on last week too.
It's all about the lighting, Matthew!! All new American Green Lights LED's in the shop. I will have a video out soon on the installation and color differences, etc. But I am still filming everything on my iphone 11. And you're welcome for the intro into the world of Bourbon Moth...you'll never leave...😜😂
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I can't believe you're getting that quality out of the iPhone 11. Guess it's a testament to how good the camera is on that phone. I have been binging Jason's videos since I've seen all of yours. I really like the length of his and your videos. Not super long but long enough that you can give detail on everything you're doing.
@@plasmac9 Yeah, the iPhone is all you need to create quality video. And it fits in your pocket!! All Jason’s videos are great, but pace yourself so you don’t burn through all of them too quickly 😂
"It's not that big"...You're being humble! Its a perfect size! ;D
Bahahahahaha 😜. Thanks!
The angle! That's what's making it look like that!
@@johntoves9015 And the iphone doesn't handle it well. LOL.
Keith-random question…have you ever used a pantorouter? Seems like it’s precision would really speak to you. I’m contemplating getting one so just wondering, from someone’s who work I really respect, if you’ve used one and what you thought?
Hey Mindy! I’ve never used a Panto router. And the reason for that is… The Festool domino. The domino is so much more versatile being able to take the tool to the work, whereas the Panto router is a stationary tool and you have to take the work to it. It also requires shop space that I don’t really have. So it can only be used in the workshop. I definitely see the value in it if you are batching out joinery for tables and chairs on a regular basis, but I’m not. The Domino gets it done for me. Hope this helps.
I came back to this to ask where you got the Valchromat and of course you already had it in the description! Any chance you know if Chris is still at the company and is the code still valid?
Decided to watch the video again anyway since it’s such a good one!
Thanks! And not sure if Chris is still there, but definitely give him shout and mention my name for a discount. 👍
Hey Keith! Beatiful job there ! And also nice to know bout new material use. Tell me , please, what is your festool sander 3 or 5 oscilation range? What is better (3 or 5) for woodworking use ?
Thank you! I have both the 3 and the 5, but use the 5 a lot more because it removes material quicker.
Hi Keith, another great build. I know I know, I can't stop watching your videos. Question -- at 18:39 when you're cutting the trim that will cover the exposed plywood for the front of the cabinet, it looks like you used the freshly-sawn back of the trim pieces and glued them to the plywood and it turned out great. But when I've tried this in the past, I've always had little gaps here and there that were visible between the plywood and the back of the trim, I guess because of the tiny imperfections introduced by the saw blade marks. This made me think I should joint the back of the trim before gluing it on, in order to try to get a really snug, gap-free fit. Do you think this is unnecessary, or should I use a sander or hand plane? Would love to hear your feedback on this issue. Thanks
Hey Carl. That little gap is most likely introduced from the fuzz on the edges of the plywood, but could also be a result of a poor table saw cut on the glue edge of your trim. It's also difficult to get good clamping pressure on that edge banding when there is only one small square edge left after it's beveled. Another method to try is to apply square edge banding on all your cabinet parts so you can get good clamping pressure all along the edge and then chamfer them and cut your miters.
I'm disappointed that you don't have the Blum Eco Drill Jig. It's definitely the "cat's meow"! :)
This Kreg one is meow enough for me! 😹
I agree, the Kreg one is truly fantastic!
Hey Keith.
What’s your preference for double sided tape for your L fence trims? Nice detail
Thanks! Here’s what I use: amzn.to/3lWPidY
The reason why the leg comes out tapered is because the blade is only parallel to the fence in a straight (horizontal) line. The lower you get on the blade the closer it gets to the fence, So when you cut the leg it gets tapered. Raising the leg up helps because the upper part of the leg is horizontal now and the cut width is the same front and back of the leg.
Got it!!! Thanks Marc! 🍻
All those chunks...
Walnut that one!
Your dad jokes!
🙏👍
Looks awesome, really good work. About how many hours did you put into this build? What made you decide to go with this drawer hardware as opposed to something you are more familiar/comfortable with? I've heard many times that Jason is a really good guy, but you must be A REALLY GOOD GUY if he flew all the way there just to flip that cabinet haha! Have a good one :D
I'm never really sure on hours in any build because so much time is spent filming and adjust the camera, as well as working on other projects in between. I use Blum undermounts all the time, so these slides were still in the same "family", but just have different features. Building custom furniture means you need to stay on the edge of what's out there so you can offer your clients different options.
New band name idea: “Lola and the Drawers.”
😹😂
Absolutely wonderful video. Enjoyable from beginning to end. That walnut makes me drool. Such a beautiful cabinet.
Completely unrelated: your cat is so chill. Did he light up a blunt earlier that day? :)
Thank you very much! And Jerry is usually chill since he's pretty lazy...Lola is the sassy one 😹
