Rex, iam over 70 years old. My grandfather would say, “ do your rough work neat because, your neat work is rough enough !
What's neat work? :)
great saying : )
Since temporary fixes that work tend to turn into permanent fixes, make your temporary fixes as nice as possible!
“There is nothing wrong with this joint” directly followed by “there are a couple of things wrong with this joint”. That made me laugh.
Glad I could get a chuckle in there. I try.
i came to the comments for this lol I immediately thought the same
“Mostly high quality.” That says a lot. Perfection is indeed illusive. Thank you RK for using the old term or terms to keep us straight with the old woodworkers and their excellence. Your practicality is commendable.
Thanks to you and some other friends on UA-cam I finished a dining table , based on an original design ,and my wife loves it.
I managed to build the work bench in one week and I love it
Thanks Rex, your teaching is inspiring a lot of people
I hope it's on Instagram so I can see it!
Thank Rex. Once again you take the "I can never do what that guy does" out of woodworking and make it believable to the common joe-blow (that would be me!). Joinery has always been mysterious somehow.
It's just practice. You can do it.
So much this. After watching the joiners bench I recently made a wall bench. Not a single cut is straight and it's made of scrap 4x2 and planks I pulled out of a skip, but it's square, level and solid. A lot of that I picked up here.
Your mortise half lap joints is something I have never seen. Very elegant. I also like how you got around using large clamps.
I'm finally moving to another country by the end of this year. Hopefully I'll be able to rent a house with some kind of garage in which I can finally put to work my woodworking skills. Regardless of whether I can or not, I feel like your videos are really helpful. Thanks for keeping them up buddy!
I have been watching you older videos. I'm glad to see that you are still making videos for the everyday woodworker. Keep up the good work!
That's the audience!
So glad to catch up with what you are working on. Working in a small space with minimal tools really spoke to me. Thank you for this series and making everything so accessible.
I’m awesome too. I keep all my mistakes in my basement and garage. I admit I don’t have much room left anymore
Great looking project. Just want to say thank you for using basic hand tools and techniques. Most UA-cam wood workers using multiple $400 planes and $350 saws pull off great work too. I am sure 95 perfect of your audience are not professional wood workers, so keeping the tools and techniques available to the common hobbyist is so very much appreciated. Please keep up the outstanding work. Much continued success.
Well, I'm hooked Rex. I'm one of your newest subs, and loving your content. I've already built a version of the joiner's bench, and the vise screw is in the mail! Thanks for helping me to get back into woodworking without breaking the bank. You're a great teacher.
Thanks for letting us come along in the project!
using excess stock and those wedge battens are a great way to clamp long stock down! thanks!
You are such positive man. I have two left hands, but I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for your time and effort
I appreciate that!
Very nice! I like those new corner joints! I'm gonna have to get them a try
I hope you do; they're not very hard and they work perfectly for this kind of joint.
Everyone subscribe to Rex's Patreon, not only because his videos are amazing, but so we can get this man a new right sleeve for his shirt.
Super video. It's great to see what can be done with limited tools. Looking forward to seeing your approach to the doors. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from No VT - An excellent and easy to follow video. Thanks for putting in the detail and close up shots of the working joinery!
Another great video. I am so glad I found your channel, and I have been recommending it to some of my friends.
Very Cool video , Rex !!!!!!!!!
I dont know if you'll reply, and I can count on one hand how many sincere comments I've left. I would just like to tell you that you explain things really well and leave no confusion as to what the next steps are. You've turned the dred of going to the store for material and lack of inspiration into now an entire basement shop where I enjoy the pleasure of wood working. Mind you, I use power tools but your ideas and way of doing things really helped me.
Hey, I use power tools, too. Just not for these projects. Really glad I could help.
Yahshua Hamashiach good night Mr Krueger, I fascinating with your work, it reminds me of how I was trained
hello, regarding your comment about your backsaw sticking: i have noticed a lot of saws have a clear coat on them. on one saw, the coat was almost as thick as the kerf. after i removed this layer, my saw worked like a dream.
Really enjoying this series! Thanks xx
Looking forward to the next installment. Great video.
Thank you! I'll keep at it!
A half-lap dovetail is also elegant for a face frame. The dovetail draws attention away from any end grain. Also, it's possible to build those onto the hung cabinets--a major consideration when doing a whole kitchen. One person can hang face frames easily when it's done a board at a time. :)
Thanks Rex great job. Your videos are always inspiring.
Rex you're doing amazing on this pantry.
excellent. gret to see the mistakes and great to see your hints on how to fix the mistakes
It’s nice rex
My favorite clamp is a 23g pin nailer 👍
Would you say 18g is too thick for cabinets?
If you're gluing, 18 is as good as 23. If 18 is what you have, it's perfect. As my mentor, Norm Abram, would say though, "we'll just put a couple brads in until the glue dries."
A proper glue joint is actually stronger than wood. Use enough, spread it over the entire joint, and clean up the excess with sawdust or a damp rag.
As you were talking about the half lap it came to me! To do something like what you explained. It was like you were reading my mind, super weird. I thought of doing it a bit different so no end grain showed though, like notching both pieces.
Hi Rex, Nice presentation! I really appreciate all your hard work.
You used blue tape to protect your bench from glue. I have done that, too. But I have made a transition to PE film. I have a bunch of clear polyethylene clear sheeting (from greenhouse coverings at work). I have a box of pieces of this from business card size to some the covering half my bench. Its reusable as PCA, even CA and epoxy just fall off it when you flex it. I find this a lot faster (and cheaper, what a roll of good blue tape cost? $8?) than the blue tape. Far less time to apply it and remove it.
Nurseries are regularly renewing the covers of their hoop houses (if that is what they have as apposed to glass) and you might be able to get heavier stuff for nothing from them. I also use it to cover firewood and logs I retrieve for resawing. Where I work in the spring they have to call in a long trash dumpster then they dump enormous amounts of it to be hauled away. We are talking 40'x100' pieces. If you needed to put a vapor barrier iunder you house this stuff would serve well. It is not all the same thickness. I think 10 mil is handiest.
Wow! I didn't even know that existed. Now I know what to look out for!
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
nicely done,I really like the way you show warts and all in your video's, they are well explained ans detailed well done
For an affordable coarse rip saw, the 7ppi Spear and Jackson is pretty good. It comes filed for crosscutting, and I have no idea why because it SUCKS for that. Never wants to start. But as a rip cut saw (even without converting the tooth pattern) it's pretty good, and it's resharpenable, and the handle is re-shape-able.
0:15 "a plain box", still a ton looks better than what I can do
The hell with that! I counldn't do this stuff until I started doing it.
Yes you are awesome
Great video as always.
If you are using those clamps with the red tip you have in the first shot, with a bit of tube that connects both tips, you can use them to press onto the edges of boards quite neatly.
Another joint that does a good job of concealing end grain is a mitered half lap. There is good glue surface and no end grain visible. And one trick for making any joint line "better" if the line is a little irregular, is to cut a shallow kerf along the line of the joint with a narrow saw, say, a gent's saw. You can present it as a shadow line and a design element.

Lol
You are awesome
Seen quite a few videos now, love them. Wondering if you had any videos on wood storage? The wood has taken over my shop.
Beautiful job, Rex! It's looking great! 😃
I've noticed the video improved a lot lately as well. I don't know if you changed the camera or what, but the result is fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
New camera, better lights, hired an editor.
@@RexKrueger Well, it worked. Well done! 😃
Awesome
Are you going to paint the face frame as well? It looks gorgeous!! I really like pine, especialy when hand plane finished (it brings out the knots really nicely)
Needs to be painted to fit the kitchen.
Provided you have 4 more clamps that fit over your bench, one could just clamp down the battens then use the wedges.
I've tried that, but I find the wedges usually move the clamps. It's a good idea, but I haven't had luck with it.
I think you should sharpen the new saw to your specs. Like you tune new or old planes. Great video!
A hunched half-lap joint is a good joint, BUT, wouldn't it be easier to use a simple dowel joint or even a biscuit?
I'm not going to disagree with you, both have good holding power, but I think there are 2 reasons really:
1. Some people just flat out don't like dowel joints as they are usually hard to get perfect and some people think they aren't great to look at.
2. Biscuits usually are made with a special tool which costs a lot of money. Also to do them without a biscuit joiner takes longer than hand cutting a half lap and is a lot more fiddly
Rex, where does one get wood for projects? Lowes/Home Depot? Do you have ideas for where to get wood while maintaining social distancing? I got a plane just before the lockdown and I haven't been able to get started on anything because I don't (yet) have a shop full of wood, scrap or otherwise.
This is all depot wood. It's not great.
Quite a lot of those half laps are cut the same way you'd cut a hinge. Interesting.
2:51 I almost spit coffee on my cats lol
Have you tried candle wax instead of oil for the saw blade to stop it being so "grippy"?
Rex, you talk a lot about finding tools at estate sales, swap meets, flee markets and other places. How do you find these different places? I move around a lot so finding these types of places can often be hard for me. Any suggestions/resources? I'm in the U.S.
Bowling alley wax. You want your saws to glide and your planes and anything else and also protect them against rust? Stop using oils. Use bowling alley paste. Got that from my shop teacher in grammar school around fifty years ago. Stuck with me all these years. Works so good it's scary. You know how you put regular wax on the bottom of a plain to make it glide? You put bowling alley wax on it, it will glide so easily you will genuinely be frightened about controlling it. Then buff some onto your iron after sharpening. You wont believe how it cuts. And it lasts longer than oil on a tool. Might make it too slick, I'm not sure. But it works like nothing you ever tried before unless you tried it before. Bowling alley wax. Make sure you buff it before you start using it.
Hey Rex, what brand of holdfasts are those? I've looked on Amazon and all I can find are those cast units (with really s**tty looking surfaces).
PS: You are prompting me to add an awful lot of 'toys' to my Amazon wish list!
Can you make recesses doors?
10:14 can’t you use your hold fasts to hold the joints together?
What software do you make your plans in?

@@RexKrueger thank you !
2:49, ripping with a crosscut saw. Video idea: show us how to convert a crosscut saw into a rip saw. Why? Because the only cheap new saws you'll find will be crosscut. I'm sure you can figure out a way to set the teeth without having to buy a saw set.
somehow i never noticed that red was wearing hearing protection for hand planing
If I buy you a book, will you read it? It's short book called "Instant Boats" by Harold Payson. It's content that's super well suited to your channel.
duh get a rip saw. ... do they even make them any more?
Why are you wearing hearing protection while using a hand plane? What aren’t you showing us?! I’m kidding, love your videos - keep up the good work. If you could figure out a “Buy Rex a Beer” function on your website, where we could do a one-time donations of $1-$20 instead of a monthly commitment. Maybe look into that. Take care!
Hide yo kids cuz people will know you ain't a master craftsman.
