      Nachos! Great video! I just started working at a company that installs stairs (banisters, rails, balusters, treads, kick & skirt, wall caps, end caps, base shoe, etc.) and I've learned a ton in the two months since I started installing. I installed paint grade crown moulding and other interior trim for about 15 years prior to starting this job and I've wanted to become a real master carpenter for a while now. There's so much to learn and I'm basically a beginner but nothing good comes easy I suppose, huh? Anyway, keep up the great work. I believe this is the first or second video of yours that I've watched and I like your style. Very educational and informative while also being entertaining and well produced. God bless brother.

    "Wood stain is a lie" brought back to memory of a customer that wanted a solid cherry set of cabinets. So the cherry was ordered and the cabinets for an entire kitchen were built and installed in the home. When the customer walked in they had a fit "those are not cherry cabinets" she exclaimed. She was assured that they were. Which made no difference in her mind, because "they were not the same as the cabinets in her sisters house". There was to much grain movement and the wrong color. Cherry she said "is a plain looking wood." So back to the drawing board I finally figured out that her sister had been sold a bad bill of goods and what she had was a set of birch cabinets with mahogany stain. (hideous) But that is what she wanted and so that is what she got. I ended up selling the original set for the cost of the wood to recoup some expense and keep the contractor I was working with happy. You can tell people something but you can't tell them much.

    • @CarlYota
      @CarlYota 7 місяців тому +9

      Yeah you have to show your clients samples of what wood looks like. People care about color, not so much wood or what finish is on it. So you have to show them what Cherry with poly on it looks like. What walnut with wax oil looks like. They only care if it’s the right shade of brown. You also have to make sure they understand that wood is natural and unique and they have to be cool with variation. If not the. I wouldn’t even work with them. Obviously cabinet builders are different than custom furniture makers though. People don’t see kitchen cabinets as unique pieces of art even though they are still handmade furniture.
      If she wanted exactly what her sister has she should have told you that up front so you could deliver that. You must really like your contractor to eat you labor cost when it was the customers fault. If the contractor requested Cherry cabinets and then didn’t accept I would definitely make them take some of the burden or I would be cautious working with them again. But I’m assuming you have a long history and this is the first time this happened.

    It's nacho concern what color the customer wants it. You shouldn't even worry about whether you like it or not. I just remember they are paying me to do woodworking and I get to do something I really enjoy and support my family. I'm also getting the opportunity to give the customer what they want, which hopefully improves their lives. I hope this doesn't come across condescending or like I'm wagging my finger at you. It's just something I've thought about a lot while I'm working in my shop.

    • @johnsrabe
      @johnsrabe Рік тому +16

      Exactly. It’s a good lesson for all of us. There’s no accounting for taste - even our own. And the fact that they’re contracting with a small maker says something good about the customer.

    • @PikkaBird
      @PikkaBird Рік тому +16

      I definitely agree. It's fine to mention that the wood choice and stain colour is by the customer's request but you shouldn't openly rag on it if you disagree with their personal taste.

      Nice video and build advice about working with the tools you have or can improvise. That is what keeps it challenging and fun.
      About that front bottom shelf support piece … yes, a simple board can be fitted there … but maybe it would be interesting to make an oak “cheese wedge shaped” center foot that would have the curvature of the shelf and would be about the width of the side “legs” … set it back about 3/4 inch to give a “reveal” under the front edge of the bottom shelf.
      A challenge for corner items like this is the baseboard offset that creates a distance between the wall and the corner unit.

  • @davidcarson7542

  • @pierrec1590
    @pierrec1590 Рік тому +6

    For the epoxy cake that you need to remove, you can remove a lot very fast using your router. Adjust the router bit depth by letting it rest on a small piece of cardboard or metal shim when standing on a table. That will reduce the sanding to the thickness of the shim. The shim should be thin, so never use a shim made of nachos.

  • @bmmcwhirt
    @bmmcwhirt 6 місяців тому

    NACHOS There is a formula for the number of clamps you need: {clamps needed} = {clamps have} + (2 x {clamps needed})
    This is an old video so I don't know if your setup has changed, but when using a hand/trim router with no dust collection, I just clamp or tape down the hose of a shop-vac in the area I'm using and it does a decent job. There is still clean up to do after, but it's far less and keeps the dust from floating too far from the work area to where I have to vacuum the whole garage.
    Space saving tip for getting a CNC router: Install some french cleats, mount the router to a board and use french cleats with locking pin to mount it vertically on the wall. Almost all your cnc work is going to be clamped to the sacrificial board, or your going to use the tape + ca glue mounting method. So vertical mounting works perfectly well. Then since it's on french cleats, if you do need to use it horizontal you can always take it down for that project.
    I also would like to say that I appreciate that you are using (at least it looks to be) p100 filters on your respirator mask. I only use genuine 3M P100. For anyone that doesn't know the P vs R vs N: N is for particulates that contain no oils, liquids or other aerosols. R is usable when oils or aerosols will only be present for short periods of time. P is specifically designed to handle oil and aerosol particulates. The 100 means it stops 99.97%(HEPA Equivalent) of particulates.

    I've been using charcoal to color my epoxy to fill these voids: the black dye was discoloring the wood pretty deeply sometimes and I'm sure that was user error, but charcoal doesn't cause the same discoloration.

    • @CarlYota
      @CarlYota 7 місяців тому

      I normally use black paint that I have in the garage and never had an issue with it dying the wood once sanded flush. But I use tabletop epoxy so it’s not a thin penetrating viscosity. It makes sense though if you are using epoxy that penetrates a lot the dye could get into the wood and stain it. It also makes sense that the charcoal particulate wouldn’t penetrate the wood fibers.

I have joined boards up to 12' on it (using an accurate outfeed table which is key). It has a small footprint and the motor isn't going to knock out the power. They come up used and I would recommend it. Heavy duty cast iron and I'm still on the same bearings. It has hundreds of hours on it and still going strong.

    I personally like the combo of red oak and walnut stain, I've used it myself. Red oak is fine for a lot of things, I really don't get why people hate it. It's relatively cheap, it's easy to work with, it's strong and it looks fine. Really what's important to me is the quality of work, not using a certain type of wood or stain. Also nacho...

I guess the customer actually would not enjoy watching this video after all.

    Hand tools work fine on epoxy. It’s just that hand tools are designed to take shavings measured in the thousandth of an inch. When you start getting up to 5 or 10 thou you’ve got a substantial shaving, about the max I would ever take for a rough pass. Usually we are talking about 1 to 4 thou depending on if it’s a finish pass. So shaving off 1/8 inch or more of a mound of epoxy obviously takes a bit. An aggressive sander that can clear the dust is obviously going to work pretty fast.
    If I was to rely only on hand tools and I overpoured my epoxy I would probably flush cut it with a Japanese saw. Put masking tape down if your saw scratches the surface. Then card scrape the remaining 50th of an inch. I say scrape it rather than plane it because you’re talking about knot holes and the grain is erratic there. Scrapers don’t care about grain direction the way planes do.

  • @jacobjennie2894
    @jacobjennie2894 Рік тому +4

    Nachos, that was a nice build in such a small work space, a couple of things from an older woodworker to think about.
    If you do a corner shelf like this again you could do the first cut for the shelves at a 45 degree angle you can have the grain going from wall to wall instead of wall to radius. Having the grain going perpendicular to the common line of sight in some cases can be very nice, but it also means extra waste. Some customers don't care about small details like this and some love having more detail options available, and the more tricks and options you have the easier it is to have your customers happy and satisfied.
    Something to think about regarding stain, we always considered stain the last bit of enhancing a project before the finish coat. Things like creating subtle contrast, like this project if the sides were a bit wider or a full back you could mix the stain a bit darker for that and the lighter shade will naturally draw the viewers eyes to what's being displayed on the shelf. Uniform coloring; if you're building 2 dozen display cabinets, a few tables, and a desk for a storefront; or the tables, chairs, wainscotting for a court conference room frequently your customers will want it to be as homogeneous as possible and a good stain job can tie it all together in a way that the wood may not be able to do on its own. Accentuating the grain, I think especially for smaller projects like jewelry boxes, if you can mix a good stain and apply it well you can have it look so natural that non woodworkers won't think it's stained; making the grain or spalting or a burl show the beauty and character of that special piece of wood you've been saving for a close friend or family member.
    All that said about stain; the walnut stained oak was a bad trend in my opinion as well, I don't think it really added anything that the right choice of oil finish wouldn't have done better. But that's my opinion and the customer's opinion is the one we are looking to satisfy.

    Nachos (Although I'll admit I fast forwarded a couple times because 1/2 hour is long video when you're trying to finish it on a 1/2 hour long break). Most impressive thing to me is that you manage to fit all your tools and supplies in a single bay garage and keep it neat, organized. Most of it looks accessible without too much digging or tripping over things. Making the most of a small workspace is an incredibly underappreciated talent. I wish you the best of success because it's obvious you've been planning this and putting it all together for a long time.

      I have done this and whilst it does a great job of quickly removing the epoxy there are two reasons I would never do it again.

      Naucho-sure you caught that he was "compromising" his "values", with the stain. So, i guess he was too distracted by the horror and too busy with the hyperbole, to use proper technique. I have always enjoyed his videos. The creativity with which he overcomes the challenges of a small shop, make his videos helpful and entertaining. However, i was very disappointed that he felt the need to take so many cheap shots.
      He was insulting to the folks that like colored epoxy. He exaggerated the negative opinion of red oak. ( those of us who have been building or involved in house design, for several decades, are kind of over the 90's computer desk look of red oak. But, we know it's an opinion. Eric used the word "hideous". He said it was "hideous", but would match the clients other furniture, which he has now called "hideous".
      Staining wood violates his "morals"(his word, not mine 21:35). But insulting someone's choices and tastes is okay?
      I know everyone likes to take the view, now a days, that people are soft & have their feelings too easily hurt. But, he didn't talk while working and have theses things just come out organically. He edited. Which must be awful time consuming and i truly appreciate all the work put in by content creators like Eric.
      He edited, did a voice over, remembered how he felt about colored epoxy and red oak and stain. And he shared it anyway. That's F'cked up. I can only imagine how much the client is paying for this custom build. If it was me, I would want to tell everyone how it was specially made for me and share the video build with them. Something, I just can't see them wanting to do now. Even if they can laugh at themselves, I hope they see how rude he was about it.

    Wine bottles need to tilt toward the mouth of the bottle if you are going to use good wine which uses corks. The bottle tips so that the wine covers the inside of the cork and keeps it moist and therefore expanded.

    • @JamalHeacock
      @JamalHeacock Рік тому +2

      1. It is a fallacy that good wine only uses corks. Screw caps actually more consistent and less prone to storage problems. 2. A full bottle laying on its side keeps the cork wet without having to be tilted downward.

      @newsnowriversidesgtrock8144 Рік тому

      @@JamalHeacock I have never seen a "good" wine that had a screw cap, ever! All Good wines (those that cost more than $250.00 a bottle ) have corks. I am not talking about pedestrian wines, but real fine wines.
      If the owners of these racks are going to have locally produced inexpensive wine, then that owner can store them in an old trunk and it will not make a difference until it turns into vinegar. A wine rack would not be necessary.
      The bottles are stored with a slight tilt as corks do breath if not saturated properly. When a bottle is just on its side the effervescence can escape through the cork. When stored properly with the bottle on a slight tilt the effervescence goes to the highest point in the bottle and is not near the cork so it cannot escape.

    Nachos: Having run a commercial shop for years, I've seen a lot of horrible designs come through. Just hold your nose and paint it pink if that's what they want.
    I did a job for a rich woman. A semi & a half load of beautiful Sapele. We made all of it into moldings, tongue & groove wall paneling and doors. She had it bleached and stained grey!!!! This was an out building on her estate for parties (next to her private golf course.) Her husband didn't care what she wanted.
    A few years later we did something similar for another large out building on the estate. This time they flew to Germany and picked out 6,000 bd. ft. German white oak. Had it flown to the states and hauled to my shop. Everything has come in the rough, often highly variable in thickness. We had to run some of it though the planer first to get it down to a thickness the top head on the molder (only 20HP) could bring it to 3/4±. Stained yellowish brown. What do you suppose the air freight bill was? I never heard. I agree with you about what method of connecting one uses. As long as it is strong enough who cares? We had Dominos, Lamello, Castle pocket screw, Maka morticer, lock miter, miter folding, dovetail and CNC doweling. Doweling is by far the fastest along with auto case clamping.
