My son and I were watching this weekend and he said his first “Total Boat Baby” I laughed and my wife was looking at me like I had a 3 rd eyeball! Great stuff keep it up.
The drawer stop idea is pretty clever. I'm adding wooden drawers in sort of a hutch style to my desk and won't be using metal slides. I hadn't thought about adding drawer stops since the drawers basically slide on the desktop itself. But this is so simple and effective I may just throw it in just to try it out.
I’ve been watching woodworking channels for many years. Stumpy nubs, cosman, encurtis, 3x3, heise, etc. why did it take so long for the algorithm to bring this to me?
I like the idea of including small challenges in details, like new techniques or unfamiliar materials. I tend to try and invent a whole new concept and technique for each project, which is ridiculously overoptimistic and impossibly ambitious.

The drawer stops are brilliant. I am going to upgrade to this idea and retrofit my old way of screwing a piece of scrap wood on toe back of the drawer box.
May I suggest setting those stops further back and put a face screw on each them almost as a micro-adjust mechanism if you ever need to adjust the depth of the drawer.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Cool idea. Mostly I want to stop the drawer from flying out. My wife likes antique furniture and tho old craftsmen must have kept chunks of wood in the drawers, unlike my wife who keeps crystal dishes in them. Crystal does not do well when falling on tile.

Wow!!! Always a wow, I don’t know how you come up with these builds and the details… the way the grain wraps around your mitres and loved seeing all the jigs again!

Awesome work as always, one of these days I will replicate a piece you’ve made and preferably with the copper and epoxy… something about liquid copper powder in anything recessed or even knots in the wood… why not because everything could use a bit of copper in it

Hi Keith, A couple of comments on your very nicely done table. A 45°sled will speed up your miter cuts with no loss in accuracy. I love mine. Cutting metals with woodworking tools is no bueno in commercial shops due to risks posed by flying shards/shrapnel. A bandsaw with a metal cutting blade is far safer. If you must use a circular saw, metal specific blades are available, but the speed of rotation may still be too high. I liked the drawer pull treatment. Nicely done. One can also use a bowl cutting bit to get a hole with rounded corners, if that fits your esthetic better. And finally, how do you keep cat hair out of your glue joints? One could date my furniture by examining the hair inside the joints and matching it to the color of cat that I owned when that piece was made. Cheers, Keith
Thanks for the comments, Keith! A miter sled is a great jig for these types of miters and eventually I'll make one 😜. And a bowl bit is a great idea for those recesses. And suprisingly, my cats don't shed that much in the shop because they leave it all over the couch instead 😹
Came a bit late to this video - to my mind this the best work I have seen of yours, both the build and the video (though it was a shame to see less of Lola and Jerry). More than that though, I saw it a very low level of motivation to make stuff (three weeks of workshop re-building will do that) but this got me straight. Thanks, Keith.

Keith- really appreciate your content, yet another very entertaining and informational video. To your point about the Domino- I am currently building a large case with through wedged tenons, different types of dovetail joinery, and other joinery methods. I got to the panel doors and was going to do haunched mortise and tenons, but alas, I was wanting to quickly move on to the next task and opted for the Domino. As much work that has been put into the piece I felt justified and appreciated having the tool to help expedite the process at that moment.
I liked the yellow tape idea. I have been working with black walnut and it is difficult to see my cut or mortise pencil lines. Also, check out my recent mid century modern chair build where I use wedged through mortise tenons. Way ahead of you!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I judge good UA-cam videos on how good they are by how fast they can put me to sleep!! So if I say your material puts me to sleep, please accept it as a compliment and not an insult! 😉😂😂😂
Thanks Jamie! Track saw can be unreliable at times and I've never built a dedicated miter sled because I don't do them very often, so the L-fence is a great alternative.
Love the look of copper with walnut! Q: How do you keep the copper from tarnishing? I've heard a coat of shellac can do it, but seems like it would wear off pretty quickly on a drawer pull.
Unfortunately, if it’s something that will be constant exposed to the oils on your fingers, the pulls will tarnish over time, which I kind of like. You could spray it before install with a lacquer, which may protect it longer. You can keep them looking fresh using sunshine polishing cloths.
Thanks Matt! Not sure what I was using back then, but now I use the Accurite greenwood blade by Carter Products. It’s 5/8 wide .032 thickness and 3TPI.
Always an upvote for Jerry and Lola. Fine Woodworking recently did a comparison of finishes and thought Rubio was good but not better than some more affordable options. Any opinion? What gap do you use between the drawer and the opening? Love the table and the angles. Looks great.
Thanks Bob! I think Rubio is very affordable for what it does and the ease of application. I can finish 3-4 pieces of furniture with one small can. It’s also repairable. I don’t know if they were comparing it to other hard wax oils or film finishes. I usually do 3/32” gap for doors and drawers.

The only issue with air drying is that it really cant get much below about 15% depending on location and climate. The best wood is air dried to equilibrium and then finished in a kiln to get it under 10%.
Well, if somehow I were transported back to the 50's I might would like that style of furniture. As I was born in 1968 and grew up in the 70's and 80's that style was past it and we had stuff that looked like that that we were ready to replace asap. Clear up to the early 2000's the Dr. I saw had that kind of furniture in his waiting room and so naturally I now associate that type of furniture with being old and ill, LOL! The funny thing is, my favorite styles are even older. Colonial, Federal and Victorian and even some Shaker depending on the piece.
How do you estimate the time it takes to make a piece? I am opening my own woodworking business and am having difficulty in estimating labor costs. Any advice for a fledgling woodworker would be awesome.

Lola and Jerry sure make some nice furniture.
They went through an intensive apprenticeship when they were kittens. 😺😺
Wedged M&T's look so sharp to me. I like a bit more contrast in the furniture I build so if you're asking for a vote, my vote is yes.
100% on the wedged MT's - they are a very nice detail 😎
How have I missed you!!!!!
I’m back, baby!! 🙌🏻
New camera? Footage is looking great!
Some snippets from the available online course, but next video will be with. New camera 🎥😎
Thank you< KJ Sawdust
You are welcome! 😁
Stunning
Thank you!
I couldn't tell... Why did you need the angled tenons?
The rails were angled
Guy is an artist
Thanks dude! 🤙🏻😎
Love your furniture but I've got to disagree on walnut and copper. Now walnut and brass... That's a nice combination
We all have different tastes! I love brass, too, but the copper edges it out 😜
Idk. That intro is still a little spicy for me. This is a kid's channel, after all.
In actuality, it’s specifically NOT for kids per checking the box when posting 😜😂
I convinced my kids to let me watch this instead of minecraft videos by having them spot the shop cats every time they're on screen. Pretty epic shot at around 25 minutes of maybe Lola? crossing the garage door.
haha! Yes! Good eye. She was on her way up to her 2nd floor loft 😹. I'll try to include as much Jerry and Lola as possible to keep your kids interested!
The editing on this video feels a little different than usual. Not bad; just different. As always, love the channel and projects!
Cool, thanks! Some footage taken from the online course 👍
Love it!
Thank you!
Beautiful 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
