Wall Mounted Coat Rack and Shelf - Plywood and Steam Bending
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2020
- In this video I make a new coat rack and shelf for my back entrance way. This should help to keep things organized as the hooks I had originally put in are now overflowing!
I used some maple plywood I had leftover from another project and used solid maple to make edge banding. For the shelf supports I had to steam bend the edge banding so that it would confirm to the shape of the supports. This was my first time steam bending, and it was a lot of fun.
I also used dowels to strengthen the joints and I used my Milescraft doweling jig kit to help get everything aligned.
I hope you enjoy!

Cute little flush cut saw. Fletcher wants his saw back Dad!!!!
hahah! Thanks Will, it is a nice saw though! Perfect size for flush cutting small stuff.
You are a master Grant! Nice coatrack 👍 and enough storage above for the landsharks 🍻😜
Thanks Hendrik 🍻🍻 probably not enough storage for all the Landshark i normally drink 🤣🤣
Looks great and the polyurethane will protect it from beer rings. Great build mate
Protecting it from beer rings, now this has become the top priority!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching Harki 🍻
We have a huge favor to ask of you. After hearing you sing... promise us you wont give up your day job! LOL The coat rack looks incredible. not quite as nice as a coat rack made with origami and epoxy, but, it is really close! LOL
I agree, if I had your talents for origami I might have tried something as cool as your coat rack! Maybe I'll have to give origami a try one of these days 😜 I'm sorry that you don't like my singing. I guess I'll skip the audition for Canadian Idol 😂 😂😂 😂
OMG that clamp shooting edit is everything. Great build, and video, as always :)
Haha thanks! I feel like that's what make me an unclamp champ 😁 thanks for watching 👍🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander Daniel's over here talking about challenging you to a clamp down duel. 😂
@@JustMightDIY haha, that would be fun!
4 camera angles planning, steam bending, special effects, and a beer to end it.....what more could you want in a video!
Thanks! I'm sure there are a few more things I could ask for, but you would need to replace me as the main actor in the videos! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching!🍻
The Grant Alexander lmao! Well if Shawn James can throw on a hat and stomp around in the woods, why can’t you do the same thing in the garage!
Nice work Grant and excellent video. 👍👍
Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed it 👍🍻
Very well done Grant. That’s really going to help in your entry. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Thanks Don, it is a great help for sure, especially the shelf part, no more hats falling onto the floor. All is well here, but feeling the effects of social distancing! Hope all is well with you and yours too!
The Grant Alexander we’re all fine but already tired of staying home. Fortunately I have a well stocked workshop with many projects on my list of things to do and make.
Hello, my friend Alexander.
In this video, the captions button was disabled. I think you forgot to activate the captions button.
Your steam bending technique was very interesting. I watched with great curiosity.
The polish color also showed very well. Your coat and raf project was very nice. Decorative. And masterfully. You deserve beer again and again.
Thank you for giving ideas and sharing.
Man, stay healthy. Great greetings.
Best regards.
Very interesting, I have never played with the captions setting and I only use the auto-generated captions. I wonder youtube is just a bit behind on auto-generating the captions due to all of the extra news/videos that are currently being played because of the pandemic. I appreciate your kind comment, have a great day my friend! 🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander I think you're right on the subtitle button. Sourced from youtube.
I wish you healthy and happy days. Thanks dude.
Cheers..
Dude I got the tag today. It finally came to me. Thank you so much. To celebrate this, I drank two bottles of beer :-) twice cheers :-)
Glad it made it there, Two bottle of beer is a good start on the night 😁🍻🍻🍻
Nice use of steam bending on this build the results look great, I love the steamer you made to, smart idea! Another cool video, thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks Tim! A little trip to the second hand store (months ago), throw in some plumbing parts and I got myself a steamer for under $10 (that's like £5) Thanks for watching 🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander Sounds like a win to me mate! 😁👍
steam bending... nice setup man!!very clever
and i like the design of the coat rack very much!!
Grazie! It was fun to experiment with ways to get the steam into the pipe and make it so that I could fill the kettle again afterwards. It needs some improvements for sure, but it works and I think that's all that matters! Thanks for watching 👍🍻
I have exactly the same problem with Maple 😁 Screams in mercy as I force it through my machinery too 😂 I love the steam bending set up Grant 😊 I can work it out from the video, but you still need to make a build video so I can compare the mess I make of mine 😂 I'm off to borrow my mother in-laws steamer now 😊 ॐ
I am glad that I am not alone in making a mess of maple! When I make version 2.0 (with the lessons learned from this one) I'll make sure I film it. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I'd recommend going to a second hand store, that's where I got my kettle. It was $6 and then I didn't worry about breaking it! Thanks for watching Chris 👍🍻
That coat rack came out incredible, were gonna have to try that unclamping technique😁.
Thanks, it was fun to build and a much needed bit or organization for the house. Which unclamping technique was your favourite? I personally find that just walking by and having them unclamp to be the easiest, but it is fun to shoot the clamps off one by one! I appreciate your support 👍🍻
Awesome work Grant! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred! I know I can always count on you to give me an electronic fist bump, especially these days! 🤣🤣🤣 I appreciate you watching! 🍻
Turned out great. And I would def watch a video on that steam machine
Thanks man! It seems there is enough interest so I have added it to the list of future projects. I appreciate your support 👍🍻
That turned out looking really good!
Thanks! It was nice to try some new techniques 😃
Nice shelf. Good job on the effects. Keep them coming.
Thanks Andy! The effects are my favourite part of making the videos, so I am glad to hear you enjoy. Appreciate your support👍🍻
That flush cutting saw and those smooth lines 🤤
Thanks Mike 😁 there is a link to the saw in my description of you are interested 🍻🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander Buying new tools is my weakness.
I feel you!
Well, I’m hooked.
Hahah, i see what you did there 🤣🤣
Looks great buddy!
Thanks man! It was a much needed shelf 🍻👍
4:25 Now that has got to be a great tip. Manual rise and fall. I made a steam bender from PVC two years ago, but it started to melt. I was bending 1 x 2 and bigger. I then made one from wood, and had reasonable success and I made the slips to hold in the glass in the round windows. Steeped them in water for a half day before steaming. Mahogany does not really like to be bent. I think oak is one of the best. Love the plugs being proud of the shelf. Stay safe
Thanks Pascal, the manual rise and fall is what makes it a real poor man's spindle sander. Good to know about the PVC melting I'll make sure to take that into consideration for the next iteration of the steam generator. I'm planning on building toboggan for my son for next winter and I already bought the Ash wood I'm going to use. The plugs are proud so that i can remove the sheriff if I ever want to paint the wall, but it's also a nice design feature ☺️ Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Looks good my friend
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make :)
Awesome shelf Grant, again you did an amazing video 👌. Steamer is superb, there is doubt about that 👍
Cheers buddy 🍻
Thanks Boris! The steamer is adequate at best 😂 😂 😂 😂 I appreciate your support 👍🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander no worries, just keep making good and fun content as this one 🍻
Good job bud!👍👍
Thanks James! Super fun project, I'd cheers you, but I know you aren't drinking right now, so instead just one for me! 🍺
Super ce rack en érable! Bon travail l'ami !! 😉 j'ai bien aimé les effets spéciaux dans la vidéo!
Merci JD! L'érable est un bois intéressant à travailler, mais je pense que je préfère le noyer, il cache mieux les erreurs! Merci d'avoir regardé 👍🍻
Great project and very cool little knock-up steam bend tube, that thing was hilarious... but it worked! Correct choice on hook number, one more would've been a bit crowded.
Thanks! A lot of thought went into how many hooks to put on, so I'm glad someone noticed. 😁 ya that steam bending tube was prototype number 1.5. going to improve it in a future video, but likely it will look like this for a long time 🤣
@@TheGrantAlexander also noticed the Aussie section of the sticker wall! Did you end up sending one this way? Never arrived after our chat 😔
@@FixitFingers that is unfortunate, i remember sending one, but I'll send another as it seems like it got lost in the mail #snailmail
That's so beautiful! Your channel has come a long way btw. 128 comments??
Thanks Shaun! 128 comments and only 200 views. Common #UA-camGods let's get this to some more people 🤣🤣
Love the special effects. Great job.
Thanks, they are the most fun part :)
Great job, thank you for that tip about maple, I end up getting the same results
Thanks Dean 👍🍻 happy to help anyway i can 🤣
Nice job dude!
Thanks Rob, did you get the new car yet, or have you stuck it out with the wagon for a bit longer?
Definitely unclamp champ!!
hahah thanks Billie! 🍻
Great video and great project
Thanks Luie! It was something we needed, so that always helps!
Very nice, the steam bender is a good idea, have not seen that before, not was a kettle.
Liked and subscribed.
Thanks! It was a fun build for sure and i learned a lot during the build. Thanks for liking and subscribing 👍🍻
Love the intro
hahah thanks Scott! I think it's good enough to get its own post on instagram for your listening pleasure a second time!
Very nice, good job!
Thank you very much! It was fun playing with steam.
Thanks sharing your special post .. Big like 😍👍👈😍 keep posting
Thank you so much 🙂
I always enjoy your videos, great project man!
Gotta try and keep busy these days. I see you have been busy too! Thanks for watching and commenting 🍻
Impressive!
Thanks John! It was much needed organization at our back door! lol
😂🤣👍 awesome intro brother, great video man that came out awesome nice job
Thanks Justin! I'm glad to hear you didn't go deaf after listening to my awful singing 🤣🤣 thanks for watching 👍🍻
Great video my man! 🤙🏻
Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make 🍻
Haha great intro.
hahah thanks! I hope it didn't hurt your ear drums too much to hear me singing!
The Grant Alexander not at all
Good video Grant, liked the humorous 'magic' moments and the useful tips such as the blue tape depth guage. I liked the steaming set-up and gave the film a like too! Well done with the Dirk stream too. Hope you and yours keep well.
Thanks Eryk, I'm glad you enjoyed the magic! Happy to have met you on the stream 🍻 btw you are now the fifth person I've met with a different Eryk sounding name (Eric, Erik, Arek, etc).
@@TheGrantAlexander I am now subscribed to your channel Grant but maybe on false pretences, I enjoyed some woodworking but my workshop had to reduce dramatically in size and my health reduced in quality, I now enjoy binding the odd book and having fun with calligraphy and whatever takes my fancy, I am ancient of days and I let the modern world go by. Self isolation is not much change for me, I subscribe to Dirk and Chris's channels and enjoy seeing how people create. I feel I should have projects on the go to subscribe to creative channels though - internet etiquette is not instinctive to me! My sons enjoyed my workshop when I showed them - now with the digital world they show me! By the way, on the canals in the uk in the heavy industrial era when two narrow boat owners both needed to use a lock at the same time the competition was decided by shin kicking - the loser shouted "Sufficient" and the winner used the lock. I have heard that shin pads used by sportsmen originated from the protection used by bargemen! Your useless fact for the day!
I hope notifications for your channel show up, many a time they do not for Chris and Dirks videos, I have to keep re-subscribing.
Ok . . thanks for responding and I hope you and your family keep well and thrive, I am lucky to be well supported by my family. Cheers Grant. 👍🔨😀
@@erykfreethinker7147 I appreciate you subscribing no matter what the pretenses are! My mother did calligraphy when I was growing up, it takes quite the talent to get things to look right. Don't worry about internet etiquette, it is all just made up. As long as you aren't typing in ALL CAPS we will be fine. 😀 That is a very interesting fact and I having hit my shins on things throughout the years, I feel like I might just yell out sufficient as soon as I saw someone going for the same lock as me! 🤣🤣 Glad to hear you are well supported and I hope the best for you and your family. Stop by anytime for a chat!
@@TheGrantAlexander Thanks Grant - if you have a look on Chris's channel you will see him turning the incredible pen he generously made for me, a later film shows him displaying the thank-you letter I sent. Just as an aside - I write in Majuscules which in the 6th Century was all capital letters [Maj] !
Looking forward to your videos. Eryk
@@erykfreethinker7147 Ahh yes, I do remember that video with Dirk. It's funny that you write in Majuscules 🤣🤣 Cheers, Grant
Good one. I need one of these, the chair next to the front door is full.
Thanks Dave! If I could fit a chair in that hallway, it would be full too! lol. On most days every hook has a coat or hat on it and the shelf is filled with random stuff, just like every other horizontal surface in my house!
I nominate you for inventor of the year with that steam device you made, very cool! Project turned out very nice!
hahah thanks! I'm not sure if I deserve inventor of the year (have you seen Andy Klein) but I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching 🍻
How's she goin'? Nice project!!! You nailed it!! I really like how you step up and try new techniques. Nothing ventured nothing gained. And you have gained a lot I'd say!!! Take care!!! BTW I like you coat hook/shelf unit!!!
Thanks Mike, the steam bending was a lot of fun to try and I was very happy when it worked on the first try. Hope all is well with you and thanks for watching 🍻
Heck ya mon!
Thanks Tony! It was a fun project and much needed (but probably a bit late as we won't be needing as many jackets as the weather gets warmer 🤣🤣)
Great work mate, I would love an in depth look at how to bend the timber, I found that very interesting. I really like a nice rack 😂😳
hahah thanks Karl! When I eventually get around to remaking the steam generator I'll make sure to get into a bit more detail in the video. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
That looks heaps better & it’s a bummer that the maple timber is leaving burn marks, actually some species of our woods are similar.
How long does the glue take to dry mate ?, colder weather prolongs the fun of glue ups, another nice edition to the home buddy 🎥🎥🔨🔨👍👍👍
Thanks Dirk! I find maple and cherry both leave lots of burn marks, but I find ways around that.. It's probably user error, but don't tell anyone 😜 It's still too cold to leave things outside to dry, so after gluing things together I brought them inside, but I usually wait overnight (because that's when I can get into the shop again) Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Love the video man, great job keep it up brother
Thanks for watching, i appreciate the kind words 👍👍🍻
The steam bending is cool stuff! The shelf turned out really nice and is quite an improvement over the hooks that you replaced. I was a little worried when you started singing at the beginning, but you brought it back around. Nice job!
Thanks Brent, I couldn't agree more that it is an improvement. I know they say to start a video on a high note to try and grab people's attention, but I figured if I set the bar really low at the beginning that people might stick around to see if it could possibly get any worse😂😂
I love your jig kit that you use to align the wood! We need one of those! We want to make something like this for our entryway! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much! I am always happy to hear when I have given someone some inspiration. That's the milescraft dowel jig. There is a link to it in the description if you are interested.
I always wondered how people did their bent wood projects. Super cool video!
Thanks! Not sure how others do it, but this is the way I do it! lol Thanks for watching
I yelled out “Timber!” when your camera tipped over😉 Great job on that shelf!
Hahahah, luckily I have a GoPro so it can take the abuse! Thanks for the kind words John and thanks for watching🍻

Do true 😁😁
Awesome project! Finished piece is fab and great work on the steam bending Grant!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Kirstie, it was a lot of fun to make and it turned out better than I expected! Thanks for watching 👍🍻
😂 love the singing at the start.
Haha thanks, I hope you get the reference to Mr. Rogers, it was a pretty big show over here in North America 😁
The Grant Alexander sadly I didn’t get the reference as I’m from the UK, but I enjoyed it all the same. 😁
@@o.g.bwoodwork I'm glad you enjoyed it without the reference. I knew i had listeners from the other side of the pond, but i wasn't sure if Mr Rogers every made it outside of NA ☺️
The Grant Alexander it might have made it outside of the US, but maybe I just missed it.
@@o.g.bwoodwork well it all started in Canada, so there is always that possiblity that it made it to the motherland 😁
very nice job 10/10
Thanks Keith! 10 out of 10, looks like I did a good job at hiding all the mistakes 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheGrantAlexander Thats all part of the craft, lol. I've just edge banded for the first time [water damaged MDF bathroom cupboard doors] with a good 1" of hardwood. Boy what a difference it makes! I think you'll be putting more hooks on, as time goes by...
It is amazing what a tiny bit of hardwood can do! If I had more space i would have put more hooks 🤣🤣 but this is the back entrance to my house and we don't use it that often, so 4 hooks should be ok 😁
That video was a blast to watch, Grant...You pulled out all of the stops! I liked your steam generator...good job with your first steam bending project...Now, we just have to get you using a router and flush trim bit to trim it up...so much easier! :-)
Oh Stan where were you when I was doing this? I totally forgot about the flush trim bit I have! 😂 😂 Next time can you please go into my mind and remind me of all the tools in my shop? Thanks for watching 🍻
@@TheGrantAlexander I watch UA-cam to be entertained as much as I watch it to learn...I get both in your videos...thank you.

Great job Grant! #unclampchamp
Thanks Jeff! Now I just need to make an instagram sticker thingy with #unclampchamp in it! Appreciate your support 🍻

Ok awesome, I'll add it to the list of projects! 🍻
The Grant Alexander I want to do some bent lamination but don’t know where to start. Guess Incan always UA-cam it
looks great, love the steam bending. do you think steam bending is something you would like to do again?
Thanks Adam, I do plan on more steam bending in the future. I'd really like to make a toboggan and a pair of traditional styled snow shoes. And I'm sure there are other things that could use some bent wood! Appreciate you watching and commenting and thanks for putting together the Coat Rack Collab playlist 👍🍻
