I keep rewatching these videos. Because this is the kind of furniture I want to make a living building. I love working in the arts and crafts/mission styles, even throw in a little shaker. Keep up the good work your videos have definitely inspired me.
Thank you, glad you like them!
Another beautiful quality build! Thanks for taking the time to explain all your rationale, very helpful.
My pleasure!
You put in a lot work!
Editing and build time combined, you have something to be very proud of!
Thanks, these videos take a ton of work so it's always nice to hear when people appreciate that time they take!
THE CONCENTRATION LEVEL's IT MUST TAKE TO BUILD THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE IS WONDERFUL MY FRIEND.. That is a fine looking piece man.. Well done Morgan..
When I get going on a good project, I get totally obsessed so it makes concentration pretty easy!
Thanks again for another nice build!
My pleasure!
very good job !!!!!!
Thanks!
I've watched a few of ur videos today. I love the old school joinery u use in ur pieces of furniture. I hope u are being well paid for this great work mate. U deserve to be paid very well from clients bcos ur work is 2nd to none .. Keep up the great content too man.. Salute to u Sir..
Funny enough, I don't sell most of the stuff I make. I hope someday I'm able to but right now I've found it pretty much impossible to find people willing to buy quality furniture. I'm sure most woodworkers are dealing with the same problem!
Looks amazing
Thanks!
Another good video. I like your style in that you film the construction and finish process, then add a commentary over it at the end. I watch a ton of woodworker videos and I am one myself. Your content is good to watch "and listen to". Well done!
Thanks, I always second guess myself on the way I make my videos, so I really appreciate your comment!
@@morganhurst_redridge Filming can always be improved by the quality of camera equipment. The commentary is perfect and no need to be self critical on that. Just concentrate on your woodworking. You have some unique ideas and end results of what you make is always good. You've changed how a lot of us think about red oak for example. I've got a 5,500 sq. ft. house full of red oak trim that I hate!! I bought it that way, didn't chose it. I have a large investment in woodworking machines from FELDER and even a 10' x 5' CNC router with ATC. Just think what your channel will do as it grows and your equipment with it.
Excellent how to video. I like the fact that you do not hide your mistakes, but point them out and offer alternatives and fixes. It shows you are not fully satisfied with your skill level, but are constantly seeking to improve your skills. This warns to followers not to fall into complacency. That said, you are a very skilled woodworker in my opinion. I learned a lot from this video and I thank you.
Thanks Roland, when I started making videos I definitely tried to make myself look like pro but now I've learned it's better for everyone when I talk about the mistakes. Plus I've found across all of my projects, it's the mistakes that make them special!
wow nice job, love watching.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful! Its got character and personality. The leather bottoms work so well with the overall aesthetic.
Thanks, I've been using this table for a few months now and I have to say I love the leather in the drawers, it just looks so interesting every time I open one of the drawers!
Great job! I loved the way you did the panels. I’ll try it on my next project.
I highly recommend it, it's a great way to bring some detail into what would otherwise be flat panels!
You’ve said Ash so many times. And in my mind I knew that’s what you were using. But in my mind I look at the finished piece and I kept seeing white oak. Finally my brain heard you talking about the stain and realized… it’s not oak. LOL.
What a great piece. Love how it turned out.
That was the mind blowing part for me to, just by applying that stain I went from ash to white oak! I still prefer the look of true white oak but this is a really nice cost saving alternative.
Another great video dude. Love the big thru tenon on the shelf. I never would’ve thought to leave it that long, but it looks awesome 👏
I'm hoping to experiment more with this through joinery, it takes alot more effort to get good results but just the little bit of extra detail makes it so worthwhile!
Great job on this edit. I enjoyed watching the full build of course but this was really nicely done!
Thanks, there was a mind numbing amount of footage in this project so I'm glad I was able to condense it down in a way that was still enjoyable!
Great job! Very nice looking piece!
Glad you like it!
Really nice one
Thanks!
Beautiful piece of furniture! Great build and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Morgan Tightbond makes a product called Extend that has a very long open time. I use it for complicated feature rings on segmented turnings. Very nice piece.
There's only one place in Canada I can find that sells it and every time I order from them I forget to order the Extend Glue! Someday I might remember but for now I've hide glue works really well when I need working time.
Another beautiful build man! Love seeing in real time how u come up with solutions to mistakes that pop up. Thanks for sharing as always!
Glad you enjoyed it, mistakes are my favourite part of any project and it's always fun finding random solutions!
So gorgeous bro
Thank you! Cheers!
oh that's niiiiice.
Thanks!
good job
What a beautiful entryway table! I enjoy learning how you embrace your mistakes and make them into a strength of the piece.
Honestly my favourite part of every project is the moment I screw something up, at first it sucks because well I screwed something up, but once I get my head back in the game it's awesome to try and find a fix that usually makes the final pieces even more interesting!
@@morganhurst_redridge I totally agree! You have some good info and your narration is extremely helpful to those of us that are looking for knowledge. I appreciate what you do.
Beautiful stuff homie.
Thanks!
Very nice!!!😁😁
Thank you!
Really beautiful work. First vid I’ve seen on your channel. The thumbnail popped up in my recommendations a couple of times and I finally clicked after the design caught my eye. Looking forward to more!
I'm glad you clicked! I've got alot more projects coming out very soon, and the one coming out next weekend it particularly exciting!
Great job, man!!! Came out really well. Channel progressing nicely. Builds are more complex, script/production much improved as well. Keep up the good work and that!!
Thanks, I've been putting the time to try and improve the videos so I'm glad to hear you're noticing a difference!
Just found your channel and subscribed. You are a true woodworking craftsman.
I must say however, that after watching you work that mortise machine, I love my Festool Domino even more. 😁
Thanks! You better appreciate that Domino, you get to cut joinery and you're done, I get to cut joinery then feel it for the next couple days! It's a good machine but takes alot of work to make it work, and as soon as I can afford to upgrade you best believe it's going to happen!
What. Fine furniture built with no Festool products. Nice.
Not for a while anyway, that stuffs expensive!
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Ps. Love ash as well!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ash really is one of the best woods, not too expensive but also looks great when it's finished!
@@morganhurst_redridge completely agree, I'm in Minnesota and can get ash for anywhere from 5-8 a board square foot. I must say the video is enjoyable because you put the frame together and then explain the detailed finish work of sculpting and then how your methodology of joinery was top notch. I consider myself a basic woodworker moving to the intermediary stages, and this was quite helpful. Too often UA-cam channels focused on woodworking have clean shops and not enough sawdust, you passed the test with flying colors!
I really appreciate that, I have such a hard time trying to get a good balance in these videos of explain what's happening while not flooding everyone with to much information and trying to keep the video interesting!
Those videos are funny, the "surgical" style woodworking. Sometimes I wish I could keep the shop cleaner but I also prefer to just get to work and deal with the mess after each project. It's kind of become a ritual now, once a project is done, the shop gets cleaned then the cycle repeats!
@@morganhurst_redridge Ha! Surgical, exactly. I relate them to commercial broadcasting studios with woodworking equipment in them as opposed to a woodworking shop with a camera in it.
I think you've got a good pace on details versus getting bogged down in the minutia. You've got a good style, story telling that is.
I'm sure there are those folks who prefer the uberclean shops over people who actually do woodworking, but that's just me. 🙃🤷
Nice build and video
Thanks!
Ты молодец👍👍👍 классно🤝🤝🤝
I’m not sure how you don’t have a lot more subs. You popped up on my home feed, hopefully many others as your projects and videos are really well done in my opinion. And I’m in BC so we’re neighbours haha.
If I could answer that I would be a rich man! At this point it's all about slow and steady growth, just trying to work with the UA-cam algorithm until I can get the channel up to a good point.
It's good to hear from another Canadian, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos!
Nice piece. You mentioned you would like to do more complex joinery. May I suggest next time that you don’t build the drawer and then screw, like in your case, a piece of walnut to the front of the drawer. Make the front of the drawer using half blind dovetails. Then your walnut becomes an integral part of the drawer. The half blind dovetail’s with the walnut and ash would look great and you get to add another type of joinery to your piece. Again, beautiful piece of furniture. Cheers, Brian
That style of drawer is on my list of things to figure out because it's pretty complex, I think the joint required is called a rabbeted half blind dovetail. I've done a decent amount of half blind drawers but trying to make that similar joinery work around the drawer slides, still end up with a drawer that fits between the slides and has a nice reveal on the front, it makes my brain hurt! I'm getting closer to figuring it out though because my router dovetail jig actually has good instructions for cutting the joint, it's just a matter figuring out the sizing.
I think if you are using drawer slides like you are, then your drawer design is correct. I would only use the half-blind dovetails if the drawer was a piston-fit style drawer. There is nothing wrong about your approach. I love your videos, designs, construction methods, and attention to details. If I was to suggest more advanced joinery, I might suggest incorporating miters where vertical and horizontal elements meet, so the bevels or other profiles can wrap around the corners with more continuity.
my dewalt planer is horrible about static shocks too. I took an old extension cord that was cut up and connected one end to the outfeed table and then to a ground. that's helped a lot, but I still get shocked occasionally, but it's not as bad. it's hard to explain how horrible that shock is unless it's happened to you.
Every time I go to home depot I think, I need to get some copper wire to ground that thing, then I always forget.
It really is fun, it's kinda like russian roulette every time you grab pieces out the back end of the planer!
Hello Morgan, amazing video as always. The piece came out beautiful. I had a question regarding the Tried and True Dark Walnut stain you mentioned on this video. I haven't been able to find a good place to source it near Toronto. If you have any suggestions, that would be helpful. Thank you!
Thanks!
As far as I can find, I don't think the tried and true stains are available in Canada anymore.
You can actually make your own stain that would be just as good as the T&T, all you need is some oil and milk paint. Just mix the milk paint into whatever your preferred oil is and you can easily control the density of the color by how much milk paint you add. So far in my testing I've had good results with 1 tsp of milk paint for 1 tbsp of oil.
@@morganhurst_redridge Thank you for the reply and all the effort you put on teaching wood working!
Looks great! Love the slats. Those legs need tapers though.
At first I was thinking this guy's crazy, but the more I think about it, adding a slight taper over the length would look pretty good!
@@morganhurst_redridge I didn't mean the length, I meant just the last 4" under the shelf.
Ok, I get what your saying. That does make more sense, although in my head having a slight taper from the cabinet section to the bottom of the legs would actually give the table a pretty unique look!
This project turned out great! Love this style furniture! What brand were the hinges you used? I couldn't catch it in the video and didn't see it mentioned in the description or comments. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Thanks, the hinges are Horton Brasses, my personal favourite brand of hinges!
The ones I used on this project are the PB-409 Butt Hinges in the Dark Antique finish.
@@morganhurst_redridge thanks for the reply! Much appreciated!
Just discovered your channel and really enjoy watching your builds.
Have you constrained the normal expansion of the shelf across its width by the length of the shelf support mortise, which is in a piece cross grain to the shelf? I ask because I'm presently building a small table to hold billiard balls and am thinking of ways to attach a shelf and still allow for wood movement.
A shelf like that includes a couple good tricks in order to allow for wood movement. The first is limiting the amount of wood that can move, the shelf, in this case, is 14" wide and the tenon is 8", so if the shelf expands by 1/16" then the tenon will only expand by just over 1/32". When planning out your shelf just make sure the tenon is no more than 2/3 the width of the shelf and it's easy to account for the movement.
The other trick is a slightly oversized mortise & pinning the tenon in the center. In this case, since the tenon is 8" and I know it'll see about 1/32" expansion and contraction I need to add that 1/32" to the width of the mortise, so just to be safe it's now 8 1/16". Then by making sure the tenon is only glued or pinned in the center, then expansion and contraction will happen to both sides. This means you're left with a barely visible 1/32" gap on either side of the tenon, which will only be visible during the winter months. Of course, you can limit that gap even more if you go through and do all the accurate calculations and can do joinery to 1/32" or 1/64" accuracy!
Hope that helps, if you need more info just let me know!
@@morganhurst_redridge Thanks. Hearing you say there would be a 1/32" gap helps. On the video the tenon looks tight in the mortise. Do you know if there are charts to show how much various species of wood will move winter to summer? My table has a 3/4" thick by 15" shelf of walnut between the legs. I was going to glue the front into a dado in the leg and leave the back unglued in a dado.
Sorry, I should've linked this before, it's a wood movement calculator that I've found to be more than accurate enough!
kmtools.com/pages/wood-movement-calculator
Your plan for the shelf sounds like it should work just fine, just make sure when you account for the depth of the back dado calculate for both expansion and contraction. I had it happen one time now where I didn't set a pieces deep enough into a groove and when it contracted it almost fell out!
@@morganhurst_redridge Thank you so much. That is exactly what I needed to know. Now back to my build. Thanks again for your videos.
Absolutely Georgius piece. I am looking to build a sofa table myself and I think I will use your design. I think it's beautiful.
Go for it! If you get stuck I have the plans & 3D model for this table on my website.
redridge.ca/plans-models
Are there any inexpensive drawer slides that operate smoothly and quietly that you could recommend?
I've found the ones from Lee Valley are very good and only cost about $30 a set.
PANTOROUTER 👍
I am looking to upgrade from the mortiser/table saw method but I'm stuck between the Pantorouter and the Leigh FMT. The Pantorouter is definitely the better choice but it's also crazy expensive! Either way it's gonna be awhile before I bite the bullet on either option.
@Morgan Hurst - Redridge Company I just got a pantorouter yep it was 2300 bucks but it's well made I haven't got to use it yet
I'm curious where you were able to get stock lumber that thick and flat ..
The lumber yard I buy from is called PJ White here in Calgary, but pretty much any decent lumber yard should carry 8/4 thickness stock and it should be fairly flat. Avoid home centers or big box stores, their lumber is usually the bottom tier that comes from a sawmill, so you end up with the worst quality wood at the highest price!
@@morganhurst_redridge Unfortunately, the big box stores are all we have here in Phoenix, Arizona .. you're lucky.
@@doughenderson4345 Do a quick Google search for "hardwood lumber Pheonix Arizona".
The first three results I got, Peterman Lumber, Spellman Hardwoods, and Hardwoods - Pheonix all seem like good options. I checked Peterman Lumber's website and they have a really wide range of wood available, with any of these places just give them a call or and send an email and ask if they'll sell in smaller quantities. You also have a Woodworks Source store in Pheonix, that might be a bit more expensive but would still let you get access to some good quality lumber.
@@morganhurst_redridge I will be checking out Peterman in Phoenix .. thanks
You keep saying “we”. Who are “we”? You are the only person I see working on this table.
I like to use we instead of me because it helps connect the person watching the video to what's happening in the video. It's like you and I are standing in the shop and I'm explaining something to you. It might sound stupid but, I find it more enjoyable when I watch videos were people speak in that way and I've had a few people comment say they feel they're part of the video because of the way I talk.
Don’t be a dick mate, why not simply say “great job Morgan” and stop trying to ruin everyone else’s day
@@LTWCarpentry don’t be a dick? Chill and ignore if you don’t like it. Dick?
Beautiful table!
I especially like the V-grooves/lap joins in the horizontal pieces.
Just one question…do you have a channel without the chit chat? I only ask because even though I do this for a living I still watch it when I get home & sit down to relax. But the talking has been a bit endless at times. I know your describing what’s going on & the choices you’v made along the way which is definitely needed for the majority of viewers but I think you could essentially double down your channel by simply releasing the exact same video with some shop sounds (that are already there) & some light music (which is also already there.
Don’t get me wrong, everything your saying needs to be said if your saying anything but I imagine it’d be very easy to take the voiceover off the edit & re-release it on a second channel. Potentially more money in the pocket which equals more hand tools. What could possibly go wrong🤷🏼♂️
Hope this doesn’t come across as negative because that’s not how I mean it to.
Keep up the amazing work!
I completely understand Scott, here's a link to my shop sounds channel. The videos are delayed by a few weeks compared to this channel but they do eventually come out!
