People tend to make platitudes and exaggerate compliments on the internet, however this really is a work of art. The ability to shape natural materials into a functional and beautiful piece of furniture, cannot be ignored.
The undertaking of this huge beauty held my interest. I have dabbled in woodworking for 40 years. I can appreciate the level of planning for something like this. Well done! New subscriber, Odie.
It is so rewarding to have children in the workshop. They get to learn what woodworking is all about and you get to spend time with them. Mine used to help me assemble my pens. Stay safe and enjoy.
Seeing the screwdriver go into a solitary drawer with the voice over of "that's it" immediately made me think the front reveal would be something to behold, but even moreso, it completely floored me. The pracision craftsmanship that went into this piece is astonishing and visible on every meticulously and gorgeously refined surface. I'm in awe and inspired by your planning and execution.
I have been wanting something like this for many years. Going to get tons of pallet wood and going to get my hubby to help and make me one.. thank you for sharing
Those are truly beautiful. From an old woodworker to a craftsman. Use a mallet instead of your hands. In 30 years when you are playing with your grandchildren, you will thank me. Great build !!
I love how you paid attention to the boards' grain continuing over the front panels. I also love the matt finish that makes said grain stand out. It's the details that make a difference. There's little room for the drawers to deform (expand, contract, curve) over time. Aren't you worried some drawers might get stuck or become very tight?
That is beautiful. On a side note the M12 installation driver with the selectable clutch settings with pre-drilled holes that size you go to four and you won't over tighten anything and it is so soft that it won't even cam out, it just won't turn.
What a beautiful cabinet, and the level of skill and foresight to maximize your economy of movement is possibly even more impressive. Meticulous, sharp eye for detail and the willingness to not take the easy route but rather go for perfection (fitting the drawer faces by hand, and have the grains line up with each other, times 21 is massive addition in complexity and workload!) is really inspiring! The rounded edges are definitely giving it the high-end finish it deserves, again perfection over short-cuts, willing to go the extra mile, and it shows! There is one thing, but that is solely personal taste: the front is quite massive, as it all has the same texture and intensity. I would have opted for a different finish of either drawers or the cabinet to create some air in the visual impact it has. But that is really utterly irrelevant as it is a gorgeous furniture piece. Even with my preference as a side note, it is honest, both in design and materials and lasts a lifetime or longer. Well done mate!
The wood surfaces look so silky smooth and the grain is amazing. Cool place to store everything and look great in the space too. I can’t wait to do spray lacquer. Brush/wipe poly is fine for small stuff but I’ve always thought lacquer is better protection for surfaces that get touched or could get dirty. It maybe bonds to the wood better or even soaks in to it a tiny bit.
Ya this new (to me) finish worked pretty well. I was very close to using lacquer but wanted something with less VOC and easier cleanup. But from I can tell, a lot of the pros go with a pre-cat lacquer.
Amazing cabinet, quality workmanship. If you give the sides of the domino's a rub of some 80 grit, they don't catch as much-saves some time during the glue up.
LOL! Lesson learned? Since dominos aren't adding any strength to the joint, two to three would have been plenty since they are really mostly for alignment in that use. Don't know how you did it even on the loose setting, lol. Love the pine on the drawer box. The tiny round over on the drawer boxes and case looks sooo good. Cool to see how your experience has led you to a process that would render this next to impossible without it.
Another excellent result. Very good work and very good video production. It’s sometimes nice to see large pieces produced in small shops. I’m a (sometime serious hobby and sometime business) woodworker for over 45 years. I’ve therefore seen the introduction of ground breaking equipment such as dominoes, widely-available routers for the normal person. Revolutionised the speed at which high quality pieces can be made. Timber prices on the UK are, I believe, higher than the USA. I’ve been paying around £3,600 per cubic metre (including taxes but excluding delivery; roughly $4,200) for European walnut that is kiln dried but waney edge. With that, I expect to get up to 30% wastage. So, it’s certainly not cheap. With a business, you are always balancing cost of materials against labour input. Now that I’m almost retired, cost overwhelms the labour consideration. If I were building the same cabinet, I would a lot of veneered board. I would either buy ready veneered (easier option; thin veneer; no great grain explosion) or make my own veneer (6mm?) and attach to MDF or plywood. That has the advantage over solid timber of avoiding future timber movement. I would then obviously edge band with solid timber. If my boards had to be quite thick (50mm and over), then I tend to make torsion boxes which are so much cheaper than solid timber; so much lighter and, again, no movement. But that takes time. I firmly believe that Festool, when developing the domino system, went all out to see how stressful they could make a glue up. Trying to align more than a few dominos at any one time! When I am attaching two substantial pieces at 90degrees, I have gone over to routing dados in each and insert a single loose tenon. Glues ups are much easier amd I don’t think the loss of the additional glue area of a domino makes any real difference on the thicker boards. I do think that, in those situations, the dominos are much more for alignment than strength. None of this is, in any way, a criticism; just insight into another way. There are many right ways to get an excellent result - only outnumbered by the number of ways to get a poor result.
Hey thanks for the comment. I appreciate your thoughts. If I did the conversion correctly, I think I paid slightly less for my walnut but typically it would be in that range. For this build, the weight of everything was the real tricky part. I’m not sure veneered plywoods or MDF solved that. The torsion box would but then there’s a lot of veneer to worry about which I’m not we’ll versed in. I usually stick to 3/4” thick cases; this one at 1.5” was a bit of an anomaly. This was my first project with the Domino. Like many have commented, I definitely used too many. The glue up became very stressful. But luckily the epoxy bought me plenty of time to get it all together. No offense taken by the way. I appreciate insight like this. Thanks a lot. Take care!
@@parillaworks I agree about the weight - mdf particularly probably weighs more than the equivalent solid wood. Although I can make veneers down to 0.5mm thick(slow on a bandsaw with new blade and rollers as feather board), I tend to cut mine much thicker. So, if I want a 18mm board, I would use 12mm mdf with 3mm “veneer” each side. That gives me meat so that I use a rebate joint at the corners. Uses a lot less solid timber but saves nothing on weight. I’ve seen how you cut thin slices and you’ve shown it is very achievable although a good drum sander definitely helps. Jointing them onto the substrate is no more difficult than joining thin pieces of solid - and, again, you’ve shown how that is done with very good results. If you are sensible, you are always learning and that learning can sometimes mean going back to something you did years ago. I must admit that I fell out of using dowels - for no good reason. Thanks to you, I am now back to using them as an alternative to small dominos or small loose tenons. Style is personal; quality ought to be universal. For me, your clean aesthetics resonate. After function, they show the timber to be king. But customers are the decision makers on this. What they want and can pay for, they get. Even if the aesthetics grinds personally. Good saying - the customer is not always right; but they are always the customer. I’m personally pleased at the lack of overt joints. There does seem to a prevalence to regarding dovetails as somehow the pinnacle of fine woodwork - it seems almost macho. As you know, with practice, they are fairly standard to make but I wonder why they are used. Dovetails really originated at a time when fastenings (mechanical or adhesive) were poor. And so a mechanical joint was needed. It took time but labour was cheap then. Now that we excellent hidden fastenings and adhesives stronger than the timber, do we need dovetails? I tend to think it’s only woodworkers who want dovetails as a sign of their skill. I’d offer the comment that in pieces like yours, dovetails are not only unnecessary for fastening but would seriously detract from the clean aesthetic. I would ask proponents of dovetails whether they thought that Chippendale, if he had the use of those modern day fastenings and adhesives, would have wasted money on having dovetails made. I think the answer is fairly easy - the makers of past generations made pieces to the best standards they could using the best equipment, fastenings and adhesives available to them - in their time. I’ve only ever had one customer comment on dovetails - I had designed a keepsake box with dovetails and she asked me what those ugly things were and could I make the box without them. Very happy to. Apologies for the long response. Result of not being able to get out to the workshop and do things. I hope you, your family and all your subscribers keep safe and well in these quite unprecedented times.
To make your life a LOT easier with the domino: make one side on the narrow setting as you did (with about half the dominos being enough anyway) and on the other piece use the medium-wide setting for all but the first one from your reference (!) edge. That way you'll have everything perfectly lined up and strong but the sides pop together without any effort at all.
This is a great project, properly done. Congratulations, feel proud of yourself, it takes a lot of dedication to get something like this done. And congratulations for the lovely family, that's something to cherish! Keep those projects coming!!!
Plenty of useful tips that I have never seen anywhere else. Fantastic! The wood grain on the drawers also ligns up perfectly. I do hope the wheels are just a temporary measure to transport the cabinet.
Fantastic work 💪 had a look through some comments? don't let the negative comments put you down 👍 you could build this with 2000 year old tools and no modern tools insight for 100 miles.... certain people would still hate, disagree or have there own opinions. Reality is you can't please everyone. As long as your customers are happy (clearly they are or you wouldn't have repeat sales) that's all that matters, trolls gonna troll and haters gonna hate. Imagine a world in which everything was done the same way? Where everyone had the same tastes, like/dislikes. Now that would be a sad world. Luckily we live in a world full of versatility. Not everything will be to everyones taste but kudos to you for the time, effort and craftsmanship in not only your furniture but the youtube content you share also. Keep up the great work 👍
Beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful I envy you because I have to wait for grandchildren to get myself a cute little helper like yours. She's adorable.
Domino tip: You dont actually need to put a domino in each hole! You can cut them to use the pin for the next one, but when it is time to glue up, you can skip a few and it will make it easier to align the top piece. I did not see the bit you use for the dados, is it a spiral? If not, you really need to try them: night and day in cut cleanness and speed vs straight blades.
Thanks Alan! That’s a great tip. The router bit was actually a 5/8” straight mortising bit. I like using my little plunge router and it only accepts 1/4” shank. So using this but let’s me knock out the 1” wide dado in 2 passes. But yes, I usually prefer spiral bits when possible. And now that I think about it, I do have a couple nice 1/2” spiral bits. But I hate my bigger Dewalt plunge router. Need to get a new one.
@@parillaworks all I read there is that you need to buy a new 1/4" spiral bit ;-) I have the Festool OF1400 router, with a pistol grip. I like it very much, very comfortable and precise. I got it for 200$ but I dont think I could/would justify the current price. BTW, I wasnt sure then you did the round overs, but the result really adds a level of refinement!
Beautiful work!! The grain on the drawers and the smooth finish of the wood is gorgeous! Love watching your process here. Love seeing your cute daughter too
Nice work, beautiful result. I'm using SV-SYS D14 (for the D700) or KV-SYS D8 (for the D500) when assembling structures like that. Plenty of strong and less stressful.
Thanks! That’s a great suggestion. I had considered it briefly because I had another lady project in the queue that could use them. I might have to try them next time.
Ya it was a beast. Really heavy and hard to move. The initial request was for 2” thick casework but I suggested 1.5”. Looking back, 1.375” would’ve been worked too and saved a lot of lumber.
13:06 - DANGEROUS crosscut. You're just ASKING for kickback. 19:18 - Beautiful end product, great job on continuous grain across the drawer fronts. Make sure you number your drawer backs.
Thank you! That cut at 13:06 is just cutting a 9”x9” square. The main force pushing the board is from my right hand. The left hand is just gently guiding the board.
Awesome build, I really enjoyed this. Way beyond my capabilities as a novice, but I have to say having watched this fully now three times, I have picked up some useful tips that will help me in some up and coming endeavours, once again, as a subscriber from across the pond, here in the UK, I doth my cap and salute you sir for sharing your knowledge with us.
I love your work. I don't know why it took me so long, but I subbed today! I really appreciate your understated presentation ... letting your gorgeous work speak for itself. A true craftsman!
Excellent job. Just a suggestion, while this time around it may not be noticable, you may have the issue in the future. When spraying, you want the spray gun 90 degrees to the surface, otherwise you will find that you are laying down more material at the edge of the fan pattern closest to your work item. Less noticeable with lighter stains, but very much noticeable with dark stains or paints
agree! But I can appreciate how hard it is to try to be productive and be your own studio. It is very difficult! But yes, you are correct. His videos are awesome it’s like a little treat when they finally show up!
Holy mackerel. The front of that is incredible. Beautiful work.
“No thanks, I’ve got too many clamps already.”, said no woodworker ever. Great work and great problem solving!

Holy... you could park a truck on that... matching the grain across the drawers is very clean. awesome work

When the finish goes on Walnut there's a magical reaction that takes place.
How could anyone thumbs down this video? I’m thinking it must be the folks who have zero skills.
Beautiful craftsmanship.
the woodgrain flow on the front of the drawers is incredible and really grabs the eye.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen

Beautiful attention to the wood grain detail placement on the front of those drawers. They all line up together. 😁
Those should have been golden handles! Really great looking anyway, can’t get enough of that finish
I have been wanting something like this for many years. Going to get tons of pallet wood and going to get my hubby to help and make me one.. thank you for sharing
Great job! I learned that you can never have too many clamps!
Those are truly beautiful.

I love this build. My favourite part was watching your daughter help. Amazing talent and obviously a good father.
Thank you!!
You deserve way more views for this. Holy cow it's a beautiful piece.
My name is Gean, I live here in Itaquera, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil
I admit you did a wonderful job, congratulations
This is heirloom level, my dude. Strong work.
That is beautiful. On a side note the M12 installation driver with the selectable clutch settings with pre-drilled holes that size you go to four and you won't over tighten anything and it is so soft that it won't even cam out, it just won't turn.
Remarkable work. Let’s also give some credit to the beauty and workability of walnut.
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture I've ever seen!
Thank you!!
What a build! Beautiful work and hope you were paid handsomely for all of that effort! You make it sound easy...but we all know it is anything but.
Thank you!
That’s looks amazing. It is wonderful that the patterns on the front of the cabinet continue across the entire surface. Amazing job sir.
Wow man, as a fellow woodworker and furniture designer I really appreciate everything you put into this, beautiful!
Thank you!!

I recommend extension tables for the jointer/planer, they make a huge difference with longer pieces.
And there’s always a place for extended family to sit and eat at gatherings….! :D

Thanks Morgan!
Supporting, encouraging, impressed, thanking.
I love watching you build these cabinets. You are masterful.
Thank you William!
That is massive and absolutely gorgeous! Looks great. Thanks for sharing?
Wow the grain match on the drawers is amazing
can't even begin to imagine how heavy that is, but wow, it looks great.
What comes to my mind.....Traditional Chinese Pharmacy Cabinets .... nice 👍

Dá uma inveja. Nos EUA as ferramentas são baratas. Aqui no Brasil nem nós profissionais conseguimos ter estas ferramentas
Ohhh wow thats a work of art
A very beautiful cabinet. You do very good quality work.
Beautifully done. The front looks _incredible_ .
WOW ! Just amazing ! Okay it's walnut but it's so beautiful ! Good job.
Beautiful piece and greatly appreciated that you've shared. This has given me some excellent ideas.

Awesome build, I really enjoyed this. Way beyond my capabilities as a novice, but I have to say having watched this fully now three times, I have picked up some useful tips that will help me in some up and coming endeavours, once again, as a subscriber from across the pond, here in the UK, I doth my cap and salute you sir for sharing your knowledge with us.

That is some damn fine woodworking, sir.

I love your work. I don't know why it took me so long, but I subbed today! I really appreciate your understated presentation ... letting your gorgeous work speak for itself. A true craftsman!
I really appreciate it!!
Excellent job. Just a suggestion, while this time around it may not be noticable, you may have the issue in the future. When spraying, you want the spray gun 90 degrees to the surface, otherwise you will find that you are laying down more material at the edge of the fan pattern closest to your work item. Less noticeable with lighter stains, but very much noticeable with dark stains or paints
Thanks! That’s a good tip. I’ll keep that in mind next time!
Greeting from 🇩🇿

My only complaint is that he doesn't upload more often, I'm kinda addicted to these videos.
Haha that's one of my complaints too!
agree! But I can appreciate how hard it is to try to be productive and be your own studio. It is very difficult! But yes, you are correct. His videos are awesome it’s like a little treat when they finally show up!
@@PrimalEdge I totally agree with you!
