When I started out back in the mid 1970's my mentor a time served journeyman nearing retirement told me everyone makes mistakes it's how you get over them which is the difference between a poor and good craftsman. I was taught to make a full size setting out rod for everything I made, these days I draw everything in AutoCAD first and my philosophy is if I can draw it I can make it. Keep up the good work in showing people how you get over things, they will learn more from that than seeing a glossy woodworking video, I have now watched a few of your videos and while I see things that aren't how I would do it with my UK trade background you are still producing great work :)
You continue to amaze me, you do more with your simple tools than most makers that have thousands of dollars worth of tools. It's such a pleasure watching you work. Remember a quality carpenter is able to fix his/her mistakes ( just like you showed us in this video) . A bad maker doesn't even know his/her made a mistake! Timothy
What a great idea to use the chisel to finish out the curve. Also love the wood on the base of the router. Really did come out very cool. So many elements to this piece. You came up with a great solution to add the inch. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, happy 😊 and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
I'm sitting here stunned by how you adapted to the 1" oversight in the top crown moulding, even more stunned by how logical and effective your methods are HoneyBadger... you rate in the top 1% of sawdust maker videos I've ever watched. You've earned a subs from me, and my admiration! Keep up the awesomeness!
Well you said you were self thought and for my point of vue you are a great woodworker and with this project you have learn something new that will help you in future project , my hat off from Shannon Quebec Canada!
A lot of the comments here already cover my thoughts on your super skills. Thanks Caitlin, I will be using your idea of angled laps when I build an ornammental wishing well to hide and protect our septic tank cover. Of all the woodworking videos I have watched on UA-cam, rhis is the first I remember seeing this method. Great work;
I got recommended this video in my feed again and I thought I had commented but I guess not. The detail that was overlooked at 13:15 may seem small but it’s very significant in classical architecture, it’s called a split fillet, Brent Hull has a great video on how to build pediments and is a great resource for classical architecture on UA-cam. Nice vid!
Beautiful work! I hope you have pictures of this, installed onsite! I’ve been self employed for 27 years, and I have no idea how you even quote a project like that! True art! Happy Saturday HBW! Too many exclamation points?
I over quoted this and I was happy I did. This was also a lot of work, but it's been spread out over the course of practically 6 months at this point. For myself at least spreading out the labor like that, and working on it in bits and pieces made it less of chore. It's still in my shop waiting for two last little pieces of trim to be made and finished up. Happy Saturday to you too!
Certainly Impressive skill but more than that, your problem solving in how to get to where you need to get to with the wood is phenomenal. Getting that nightmare of a design into a reality is quite some achievement.
Hi 👋, very nicely done, considering the tools you have, I compliment you for a mitten mistake, and then this is where your skills come in, been able to rectify it to make it correct, Well done, even people with tens of thousands of pounds worth of tools, even make mistakes by making things like this, and it can be very dangerous, because they’ll be using a spindle moulder, and you have to know how to grind and sharpen the cutters to the profile, a lot of templates need to be made, to be able to run it round on a ring fence, Even sometimes the architect makes mistakes , many years ago, I used to work for a organ building company in the machine shop where I was involved in making mouldings and Cabinet work for building the construction of church organs, I’ve even made tapped wooden pipes, some of which you could actually crawl inside , and over the last 20/30 years I have been involved in making special doors and windows, some of which were curved, I started working like you, in a small work shop, it took me years to build up my work shop, 50 odd years ago, I am now retired living in France, I look forward to seeing the next stage of your project, I wish you all the success for the future, stay safe, Phil
I have been off grid for some time so have binge watched his series so far. I'm really enjoying your instruction, and the quality of what you are going through to make this is brilliant. Thank you HB for taking so much time and effort to record and collate all the footage into a series I have learnt a great deal from. The few mistakes you deal with are so encouraging to see from your perspective and give a genuine insight into honest furniture making. You help me realise I take my own mistakes far too much to heart. Fantastic video series!
I hate when that happens. Spend all that time to get where you're at and it looks great only to realize something is wrong. I know that feeling all to well. But once again you found a solution and didn't give up. It looks great Caitlin! Keep up the good work.
Yes it's bad when a mistake happens! However you figured out a solution that worked! That is the good of it! Looking good nice work! We all do it and if somebody says they don't they probably aren't doing much! Looking Awesome!
Finally getting caught up on your videos. Looking great. Bummer about the length, but you pushed through with a solution, and it came out great 👊. We have a boatload of knife profiles and 8 shaper tables, but sometimes it's still easier and more practical to mould certain short lengths of profile by hand. Well done. ✌️
At least if there is only one more episode to go you can see the end in sight, what a mammoth task it has proven to be but it is looking good, how do you resist the urge to tinker with with the bits you have finished, with it being in your shop for so long, it’s not like it was in and out in a week, I have to keep messing with projects until the finish goes on (probably because I am always thinking i can improve things), looking forward to seeing the finish go on this piece 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
Wow! I'm looking to make curves into my own home recessed bookcases and you've given me a clue and inspiration. Maybe one day I'll be as good as you! Keep going! Curious; how much was that piece for the customer?
I haven't disliked working on this piece, but working from plans has been a steeper learning curve then I anticipated. All my major issues from this came from misinterpreting information, or missing information on the plans. The woodworking part of this was a fun challenge, but I/m ready to get back to working from Pinterest photos again for a bit. hahaha
I don’t calculate hours and this one is impossible to tell because I started working on it in late spring. It has a loose timeline so I worked on it in bits and pieces/
That must have been horrible having to cut that thing in two after all that work and how good it looked. Still, the repair was affected well and overall this whole job is bloody great work!
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks easy mistake to make and the repair was great. I read technical drawings as part of my job and I still stand and stare at them sometimes wondering what the hell I'm looking at.

As you say “subtle “ but very elaborate steps to achieve the final moulding. My hat’s off to your patience and tenacity.
Thanks!

I visited Quebec City last summer, first time in Canada. It lives up to the hype!
❤
Agree with Tom(below)...This project is really something! Cheers rr Normandy, Fra.
Thanks!
Another great solution to a problem.
Have a great week.

Good work, I always spray the bearings on my flush router bits with WD-40 before each use to keep them from seizing up it really helps.
Nice tip, I’ll have to start doing that, thanks!

It's the worst.
Great work I find your channel very informative 👍
NIce, that's my goal with this channel.
Encore beaucoup de techniques,vraiment du très joli travail,bravo, à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
Thanks!
A difficult but successful work.
I congratulate you
Thanks!
I love your work. Amazing.

I've never really coveted a shaper or a molding machine until this project.
Nice!
If I was as half as good as you, I'd be a happy guy! You're good, real good!
Thanks!

Beautiful!
Thanks!
I can't help but wonder how many hours you put into this. It's looking beautiful!
Me too, I didn’t calculate hours on this one.
I’ll bet you’ll be glad to get this project off your plate. Hopefully you made enough on it with all the challenges you encountered.

This is still in my shop, so I see it everyday. And shake my head about it daily.
@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks easy mistake to make and the repair was great. I read technical drawings as part of my job and I still stand and stare at them sometimes wondering what the hell I'm looking at.
It’s not woodworking unless you’re overcoming small mistakes. I think the patch looks great
Ture, and thanks!
