Subscribed yesterday and talk about a breath of fresh air. I’m up here at the Outer Banks, NC. It’s such a joy to see a lovely young lady following her craft and making dreams come true. Wishing you GREAT SUCCESS and looking forward to your next video ! Stay safe!
Same here. I never think veneer as anything thicker than maybe a 16th of an inch. I guess 1/2 an inch still qualifies, though it is less than that after running through the thickness-planer.
@@thomasarussellsr I guess veneer is more about the application than the product. I suppose as long as it's a superficial covering, the thickness doesn't matter!
Just subscribed and I'm so glad I did. Retired finish trim carpenter and finally getting my shop set up. Love Ashley work, and look forward to her videos. Thanks for the inspiration Ashley..
Looking good so far! Now you can get a plywood core with MDF outer layer with veneer on the outside. So it’s super smooth, strong like plywood, lightweight like plywood, smooth like MDF, stable like MDF (no waves). It’s a plywood composite hybrid.
Liked this. You have a very calming way of presenting too, which makes this all the more enjoyable. I know my Wife would love to learn wood turning from you. It’s just a shame that we’re in the UK. I’m going to continue to watch the other videos in this series. All the best.
One of my favorite things in this video was watching Ashley use a WormDrive Saw to break down the material , I’ve been using a Skil model 77 for over 35 years , at one point in my life I lived in a Condominium that had a4foot X 9 foot patio I had to utilize as a temporary Wood Shop when I worked at home everything I used had to be portable and easily stored in a small closet I didn’t have the ability to have a nice Cabinet table saw , large Jointer so therefore everything I built I used a Circular Saw and a Porter Cable Router that I did my Jointing with straight edges beleive it or not half of the fun of building Furniture. Under those conditions made it more fun for me I of course broke down all sheet goods with my Circular saw !
Hi Ashley, just stumbled across your channel, looks like a great project. Tell Charlie I have total tool envy for his workshop. I'm waiting to see how these doors turn out. P.S. mind your fingers on the table saw.
The walnut is so beautiful. It was kind of sad to see all those dark brown walnut shavings/sawdust being dumped in a waste bag. Isn't there something you could do with all that?
Dang, thought I was going to get the first comment for once.... Can't wait to see how the doors turn out ! Love the way you are expanding your artistry in wood to new adventures !
I love watching the two of you work so well together! For those not lucky enough to have reliable shop partner.... I make a small band saw power feeder in kit form (mine is usable on table saws and router tables too) that would make this kind of work much easier , providing steady feed as slow as you need. @
Very nice production and editing; well done! I guess we will have to wait to see how the doors get assembled next week, but so far, the stuff that is being called veneer really isn't, based on industry and common practice definitions. 1/8th of an inch or thinner would be 'veneer'; if these boards stay at their current thickness, it really going to be more of a lamination than a veneer covering, and even if the panels are balanced (same (not) veneer on the front and back), at 97" tall, they are definitely going to want to move. Once wood is as thick as those panels, it starts to exert significant force on the substrate it is glued to as it gains and loses moisture seasonally, and it is a real challenge keeping a 97" panel flat in ANY type of construction. (We have four closet doors exactly that height, and double your width, in our house; BTDT...) At the very least, please use five evenly spaced hinges to hang the doors; that will help. Looking forward to the next installment!
You are so cute , and intimidating . The way you "man-handled" the boards and plywood during loading and unloading , wow ! your so strong. Miss Harwood , you are an amazing teacher and very cool to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing .
I am left wondering if the thickness of the veneer is for the over-all thickness of the doors or to have some thickness to do some shaping/router work on the doors. Can't wait to find out on the next video. I love walnut for doors. I cant wait to see the finish popping out the detail of the wood grain. Best part of a project for me. P.S. Tell Charlie I have shop envy. Thanks
I am wondering the same thing -- because 1/2 or even 1/4 inch is not at all thin for a band saw (even for an amateur like me, 1/8 or 1/16 is easy to cut). Since they know what they are doing, I will assume the 1/2 is not just for door thickness or other unneeded "waste" of premium material.
OK, Ashley. I saw that you had nice yellow push blocks to use on the jointer. Please use them for the table saw too. I know, you’re professional and all that. Thank you.
Just a heads up that dry lube has Teflon and will really mess up your wood finishing when time comes. I know of ikea production shops in the US that stopped production due to a tech using Teflon spray on a table saw and it messed their whole finishing process! Crazy.
Ashley, I think it’s time for your own TV show! You have a great woodworking talent, on camera personality, and so many women are getting into the trades now...Your time has come to share your talent with the world! Love the videos! Good luck in all you do!
My friend Ashley .. you have a beautiful, calm and strong personality .. And your videos are meaningful and useful always. You have a higher thumb .... Ali from Basra
Put a bag in the dust bin with a bag holder sleeve. Put the sleeve in the empty bag, and pull it out before taking the full bag out. No mess, no fuss, no holding the barrel over your head, no dust flying in the air.
Hope this is taken the way I mean for it to. I'm 65, retired in NC. I'm subscribed and have seen all your videos. I think compliments should be given when deserved, so I want to tell you you and your content is top notch, very professional! There's one thing I don't understand though...how a successful, beautiful, smart, energetic, successful and just smoking hot young lady you are is single! Maybe you're not but no ring. If I was 30 years younger, I'd be singing up for your classes. Love watching your channel, will follow you as long as I'm here!❤😷
This a looking to be a beautiful build. Would it have been easier to use walnut veneered plywood? Seems like from everything I’ve heard that the walnut veneers will have movement in it?
Never thought about the repetition of it, your always looking at the surface and how it is going, but looking back your right the actions are repetitive, the results hope fully are but the patterns are ever changing. Tell you friend "nice shop" for me.
Yes Jon, but the hearing and eyesight protection was there, which on so many videos is not. Also, camera angles are important and sometimes misleading, but I agree, maybe a word or two about safety would be beneficial. I know I would appreciate it.
I'm surprised to see 1/2" veneers. I was expecting 1/8". However if you want 1-3/4" doors then two 1/2" veneers plus 3/4" plywood will get you there, or at least close.
Ashley, watching you helping on power tools is absolutely terrifying. You ripping plywood on the table saw made me cringe. If your hand slipped, you were lined up for the blade. Yikes! Your jointer and bandsaw operations scared the hell out of me too. In terms of instructional video, you might want to work on a shop safety.
Yeah, I will agree I was a little nervous watching, but I've seen much worse on youtube. There is no need to put your fingers that close to the blade when ripping. She just needs some more practice and someone like Charlie to give her some hints.
Yes, that made me more than nervous and wondered why a woodworking teacher was allowing her to put herself at risk and where the table saw blade guard was...
@@stephenbezanson4633 , Well to be honest, a lot of us don't use any guard on the table saw ever. I have made a living as a woodworker for over 35 years and counting. At 70 years of age I have to be extra careful, always thinking where my hands are and the stability of the piece I'm cutting. I don't take any chances with strange setups. I often have my hands close to the blade, but never behind it or certainly never in front.
@@tomruth9487 I don't use a guard on the table saw either but I have a strict set of strategies to keep my hands clear of the blade. I was put to work at the age of 13 in my brother's shop and 45 years later have had no major accidents. That's because my brother taught me strategies that I still use to this day. I'm not meaning to come down heavy on Ashley. She scared me and I think she should consider being careful to demonstrate safe practices in her videos. A person's life can change in an instant from one false move. Nuff said.
@@jonmars9559 Yes, I agree with you 100%. I have contacted others on youtube videos for the same reason and they have responded to me in a very positive manor. Not wanting to come down on anyone as we are all still learning, trying to get better and staying safe.
Ashley what is the point of having a dust extractor that you have to then empty the bags into something else and you are breathing in all the dust and obviously the bits that come out of it went into your eye, it would be better to have a plastic bag inside the top that he was using so all you had to do was pull the plastic bag out or just fit a plastic bag around the dust extractor so all you do is carry the plastic bag out and not have to empty it . Whenever there is dust you should be wearing mask
seems lime a lot of wasted material, you dont need half inch veneers to do a door, id use half that thickness and run it through a drum sander after every pass.
Safely is not on size fits all. I have been working with wood for 60 years, I do a lot of things people would consider unsafe. What I consider safe for me may not be safe for you. I still have all ten fingers and have never been injured woodworking. I know my equipment, I know what causes kickback and catches, so I don’t do those things. I do wear eye and hearing protection faithfully. I never wear gloves, and because my skin is tough I rarely get so much as a sliver. Ashley is a master. I see lots of comments that say she should no do this or that. Since she obviously has all ten fingers and no visible scars. What you consider unsafe may not be for her. She has thousands of hour experience, let her do it her way.
I am concerned with the way she stands behind the skillsaw, I was taught to stand to the side incase of kickback, I've seen a worker get cut in the leg from kickback...
I love your balance of narration, following work, and real time audio. The production is a joy to watch.
Ashley...you are a patient listener....and absolutely adorable...please keep posting...everything you are building is very interesting.

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! I was expecting paper thin veneer, this looks much more substantial. Thanks for sharing the process!
Same here. I never think veneer as anything thicker than maybe a 16th of an inch. I guess 1/2 an inch still qualifies, though it is less than that after running through the thickness-planer.

HI Ashley those doors r going to b super cool. love walnut wood.
Charlie! He’s one of my favorite folks in this community and is such a talented woodworker. Great to see him on here!
Haha! Thanks puddin"

Great video Ashley, loving what you do 👍🙏👍 x
Walnut is going to be beautiful Ashley !
That is an awesome bandsaw!!! Those were some pretty straight cuts!!
Wonderful as always!
Loved the video Ashely, oh and I trust you to use the tools correctly. Your experience shows (thumbs up emoji) :-)
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out! Stay safe!👍❤️
Wow, can't wait to see the finished product!
Hi Ashley, I from Argentina....and your videos is amazing and your jobs, the this videos, congratulations Ashley
Looks great, can't wait for the finished product. Thanks for sharing, be safe! Beach, NC
Great Video, I really liked the way that walnut looked. Those doors are going to look gorgeous. Looking forward to see the rest.
Those are going to be nice looking doors! Can't wait to see them.

Peace and love, Tim
Interesting video Ashley, keep um comin, Stay Safe and Thank's for the share !!!.

You looked really comfortable using potentially scary tools that you don't use often, Great Job!
Ashley you scared me a bit when it looked like your hands got close to the table saw blade, but it could have been the camera angle.

Hi Ashley and yes of course gloves ones that fit quite snuggly around your pretty little hands
Charlie you’re the coolest person I know
Ashley, I'm a fan of yours and also a wood turner. Your lack of safety in this video is anything but 'professional'

Seems pretty thick for the plywood to stabilize them. Those can make the plywood bend and cup a loot

Still subscribed.
They need to go to the home center and pick up some red rubber cement trowels for the jointer and even table saw for sheet goods.
watch that hand placement on the table saw....
There always seems to be a problem with guarding. The ex factory machine has the guard provided so why not use it!
