"Drahs". My best friend says it the same way. Your channel is always amazing. Thank you for the inspiration. :)
been my biggest peeve and only real gripe about Tamar since I started watching a few years ago, lol.
It's interesting, because i'd expect that pronunciation from someone with a New England accent, where a lot of the final "r" sounds get lost. But i'm not noticing anything else that she's saying falling into that kind of accent.
Drores > drahs
I think it's a nice pronunciation.
I came to the comments to see if I was the only one who thought that pronunciation was odd.
I can't tell you how much I respect the "...fair warning, this was my first time ever doing this, so, this is not a how-to video". Wayyy too many makers in this space does something once or a few times and pretend to be an expert on camera. The urge to push out content is very real. But being open and humble is much appreciated.
Just documenting as I learn!
😊😊👍
OMG, Tamar! You can't hit us with the 'draws' in the first 10 seconds of the video! I can't wait for the full build video, that table looks like it's going to be EPIC!
😂😂 I can’t wait to finish it!
First 3 seconds!!!
“This isn’t a how-to, it’s a learn-along-with-me”. That’s the best kind of video. I want to see the process as much if not more than the result.
Well you’ve come to the right place. Ha
The best lesson: drawer fronts, a jig, and the clamps that hold them together are heavy.
In for hearing Drawers said 100+ times!
Me too ;-)
I should have a drawer counter on the bottom 😂
“Drahs”… just one of many reasons we love you Tamar!
No click bait here! Watching you work and hearing you say “drahs” over and over totally delivered! Thanks for sharing and really looking forward to that table build.
Haha! Hopefully I can finish it soon. But you know… life!
I would never have thought to glue up the inside and outside peices at the same time. Brilliant! Keep up the great work.
Worked really well!
Well done! It's excellent technique to use 1/2" plywood with 1/4" grooves in drawers of any reasonable size. Much stronger and not much extra work or cost. Lots of old plywood drawer bottoms are wavy and/or falling out of their grooves. The space underneath a thin bottom is wasted anyway, might as well fill it with wood.
Yeah! I did it out of necessity here but I’ll prob do it again in the future!
100% agree here - BUT be careful of the types of slides you are intending to use. BLUM under-mounts for example need that space for the slide hardware. For side mounting slides its a no-brainer, gives you additional gluing surface on the bottom and simplifies sanding/finishing the drawer. Costs probably go up a little but does reduce the types of ply in your inventory.
The more you say "drawers" the more I like your videos! Well done!
😂
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen, and I am a new fan. I love the “bloopers” at the end. I haven’t seen anyone else do that.
Haha thanks
This was so complicated . What a truly talented maker/builder you are. So creative.
☺️
I feel like I’m a kid again and watching This Old House. ❤️
Haha!
You have truly advanced your craftmanship. Outstanding!
Thanks so much! ☺️
Hi Tamar,
Thanks for sharing.
Making a round table is certainly not a challenge for you.
As far as the drawers are concerned, I was thinking for a while, but you solved it.
What I liked very much, were your fantasies about the different ways to solve your problems.
By the way, when you started talking about it, my first idea was immediately to double the front and you came up with the same thing, nice.
Keep it safe, it is not over yet.
Willy from Belgium.
😷😷😷
Glad you liked it!
@@3x3CustomTamar I like all of your vidios.
Willy from Belgium.
✨✨✨
I like that you have no fear. Just dive in, learn and adjust. Show folks that and they can avoid the mistakes. Makes you a grand teacher and a downright great carpenter.
I learn by doing!
I absolutely MUST see a collaboration between you and Marie of DIY Montreal making an apothecary cabinet.
That would be cool
You have a remarkably sharp mind for visualizing how these complex shapes will fit together! It gives me a headache! Lol
😂
Got to hand it to you, Tamar-you go for the challenging projects. Nice work.
Always up for a challenge
I think your approach on how to create a curved drawer is fantastic. I have not tried curves yet, but I plan to. Your video is full of great ideas. Thank you so much. You are a very talented woodworker. I will be referencing your video many times during my curve build.
So glad you found it useful!
I really like how on all your build videos you will recap at the end with thing(s) you would do differently and other methods to accomplish the same task. Could be very valuable for some people who don't have those same tools. The extra thought is much appreciated 👍🏻
Glad you appreciate it!
BRAVO! You really have a mind/talent for problem solving and construction.. its very inspiring and I always pick up some ideas when watching your projects come to life!
Awesome to hear! Thanks! ☺️
Great video (again). When I make plywood drawer boxes, I always use 1/2” Baltic birch for all components, and I glue-in the bottom for extra strength. With the rabbetted edges of the bottom, you can also ensure the squareness of the box. The resulting boxes are incredibly solid.
👍👍
Those turned out great. Top notch idea and workmanship. 👊🏼
Thanks so much!
A magnificent channel, a year full of good videos in which we have learned and enjoying the projects you have carried out, greetings.
So glad to hear!
This video was really inspiring ... I really enjoy watching you identify and solve challenges in a project that is obviously demanding from the start. You really are a natural at this. I look forward to the final video on this project, it's plain to see that it's coming out well. Cheers and thanks again for sharing your talent with us.
So awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!
Tamar, it's extremely difficult to keep up with you as your creativity and skill is infinitely superior.
Haha!
Great video! So much information! (But I'm convinced you did this entire project to see how many times you could say that word that you know we love)
😂😂😂 maybe….
That's awesome! You really simplified a complicated process!!
Glad you think so!
You're so smart. I love the behind the scenes part at the end
😂😂
I like how you say "drawer". Awesome video and project!!
😂
I enjoyed that , well done .
Keen for part 2 , keep the videos coming.
Pete Australia 🇳🇿
Thanks so much!
Many good tips here.
Tamar, constantly brings her A game!
Glad you liked it!
What an amazing woodworker you are Tamar, thanks for another great video!!
So glad you like it!
“That’s easier than I thought it would be” …. Famous last words 😀
Haha!
One of the most fun youtuber! I get a tutorial on how to use the program to design these projects all most every video. Its easier to watch your vids just for the tutorials lol, but the wood working is like the added bonus!
Hah thanks!
I read some earlier comments and I agree, your ability as a woodworker has become professional quality. I can't wait to see the table video. Excellent work! Keep using those straws 👍
Thanks!
Your work is so incredibly clean! 😍
Thanks!
Curved drawers....wow....very impressive effort
☺️
This woman is absolutely awesome!!! I just woke up, my eyes weren’t fully open and she just woke me up with a eagerness to go to work and build cabinets I need to have done today. Thanks Tamar!!!
Awesome
Tamar!! You always teach me something, and your always amazing! AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO HEAR YOU SAY DRAWERS :)
Hahah!
Yeah the woodworking and videography is amazing as usual but the pronunciation of drawers -- *chef's kiss *
😂😂😂😂
Very nice, skills, execution, and planning. It looks like it will be very nice when finished.
Thanks!
Howdy! A little tip from a cabinet maker, you don’t need the screws on the draws. Your strength comes from your glue joint. Simply glue the joints and tack them with a brad nailer just to hold the joint until the glue dries. I tried to take draws apart built like this and the plywood breaks before the glue joint gives. Otherwise great job! Love your videos!
Thanks!
The more I see this channel, the more I like it and learn from it. I'm an ACTUAL newbie woodworker and be sure that this stuff is gold for me and for the rest ot woodworking junkies!! Have a great Xmas time!!
Awesome to hear!
Jewelry work! Milady. Congratulation!
Congratulations on the beautiful work!. Have a year of 2022 with great health and success!
Thanks! You too!
Great looking design, always out of the ordinary.👌
Thanks!
A sudden thought. You should try adding a mirror (acrylic mirror) to the end of your crosscut sled so you don't have to bend over to adjust what you are cutting to the blade like at 7:48
👏👏👏 Can't wait for the rest of the video.
I can’t wait to finish this project. Ha
Beautiful work as always! What I love most about your videos is that you are not afraid to show people that you are human and make a mistake now and then. So many people edit those out and try to be perfect.
Haha we all make mistakes!
Such raw talent!
☺️
For such a project you have to be at least superwoman. I take my hat of for you and bow in deep respect!
💪😂
You definitely have the heart of a teacher. Excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video on a difficult build. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Fabulous build !
Stay original.
Thankyou
Thanks!
I was shocked as all heck with this build. I saw that I had a notification that Tamar put up a new video. I opened it, expecting the "normal" Tamar kind of stuff, which is not that normal, but you know what I mean. Then, I was confronted with a circular table build! You really went for the gold on this one and knocked it out of the park. I am tremendously impressed. Is there anything you can't do? Your husband got a bargain when he got you. I hope you are appreciated. LOL.
Haha I didn’t get a bad deal either 😉
@@3x3CustomTamar LOL. Neither did I. We've been together since 1974. We were friends first and still are.
Tamar, I always admired curved drawer fronts because it changes the piece from something that is built by a machine to something that is created by an artist. So after you get by the math (ha!), I love the way you molded this piece into shape. Hopefully, you've inspired many of us to give it a shot ourselves. Thanks for Sharing!
I hope so! Agreed. The organic shapes really take it to the next level
You have a very effective thought process, very enjoyable. 😎🎙🪚✅
So glad you enjoyed!
As a nashville native I love the way she says drawer "draws" 😆
😂
Very cool Tamar!
We really got to get you a jointer. Are you listening Powermatic? Great advertising opportunity guys...step up!
Thanks! Hopefully I’ll get one soon! They are all on backorder now… crazy times. Ha
I'm sure I speak for many when you say "this is more of a come along with me video..." we are excited to learn along with you. Thank you for doing these. Personally they mean a lot to me, I see the how as well as the suggestions not to do.... Thanks
So awesome to hear
Very nice as usuall, great ideas and workflow. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!
YOU CAN ALSO RUN THE SCREWS AT AN ANGLE
Thanks!
That looks fantastic. And the choice of push-to-open hardware just makes for a cleaner look IMO. Handles always seem to snag on something.
Thanks! I had these slides for like 3 years waiting to use them for a project. Ha
Love this video! Before you remove the front from the bending form, you could use the flat side of the bending form with a flush cut bit on the router to cut your first square edge, then run the other side through the table saw. Also, angling your screws parallel with the drawer front would allow longer fasteners without blowing through the face.
That totally could have worked
I was thinking the same thing while watching her do it, those screws need to be angled.
Hope your holidays went well, Happy New Year.
Very busy! Always a good thing!
great stuff :-)
you could add a hole in the front if the curved sled jig, to clamp the board to the jig.
Thanks! Yeah, wasn’t really necessary though.
Exactly what I was thinking. Even a piece of tape would probably do it. Just so you can’t accidentally shift it while you’re focused on something else.
You are the best Tamar! Great job! ❤️👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Great video again Tamar, I love curved projects and your table is beautiful !!!
Thanks so much!
Can't wait for the table build vid
Me too. Ha
Nice process great result well done 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Excellent video. Love "watch me figure a thing out" content!
Glad you like it!
Argh thank you!!! I’ve been trying to make a curved drawer at college with bugger all tuition and it’s driven me crazy but now I have this video ^_^!!!!
Awesome
Nice table. Looks like a good challenge.
Thanks! It sure is. Ha
The undermount draw slides Bourbon Moth uses are awesome. You can probably get some free ones from them instead of using ones you currently pay for (don't get paid to use).
If you're like me, making furniture or trim pieces in curves is very challenging yet satisfying. You'll probably need a little extra room for all the bending forms. I sometimes think I've missed a calling as a shipwright where everything is curvy and wavy (chuckle, chuckle).
Haha yup!
Made almost the exact same MDF bending form for a project my brother and I did. And went through all the same struggles you're going through! Kinda funny actually lol For the cuts at 5:24 ... You jig is good. We weren't going to do that though (even if we had thought of it) I came up with clamping the piece to the fence along the miter saw... put the clamp in the middle. And then measure how far each end was from the fence, and tweaking the clamp until each end of the curved board was the same distance away from the fence. That's how I knew it was square lol.
awesome as always! thanks for the book recommendation! Perfect Christmas Gift!
Awesome.
Yay!!! More Draws!!!!
😂
I played the drinking game this morning. Every time you said drawer, I drank. I'm glad I was drinking coffee this morning. lol Thanks for the video!
😂😂😂
I haven’t heard you say “drawers” in so long so I forgot how you say it, so hearing the way you say it right at the start hit me like a truck 😂
😂😂😂
I did my first project with bendable birch ply in a college ww class in 1999. I ve learned a few things...
1. Adding glue to the forms is recommended. Some students did not, and the mdf layers on their forms did move slightly. Even a little is enough to introduce a slight warp.
2. PVA glue isn't ideal for the lamination because it does creep a little over time. Epoxy or urea resin glue is ideal, although not as easy to use.
3. Kickbacks can be dangerous when cutting curved parts on the table saw. It was bulky, but I used the bending form as a sled on the table saw to provide more support. It also kept my curve 90 degrees to the straight edge.
That's a really good idea to use the form as a sled (or more likely the lighter version), but in this case wouldn't the height of the piece be an issue? I feel like you would have to raise the table saw blade that even if it fits it would be very sketchy.
Good tips!
@@justin.booth. definitely. I had a 90 degree bend in mind and when I tried to rotate it while I cut it on the table saw, it kicked back and ruined my chair seat.
I actually think I wound up cutting some on a table saw sled while they were clamped down flat on one side then flat on the other.
The chair backs were more like these drawers. I actually cut those on the bandsaw while they were on the form.
I always look forward to any video you post. I find that I can apply stuff I learn from your videos to projects I'm working on. It's always a good day when I learn something new.
That’s awesome to hear!
This is very impressive !
Thanks! ☺️
As soon as I saw this was a video about DRAHs I had to watch it immediately!
😂😂 hope it didn’t disappoint
@@3x3CustomTamar most definitely not.
Loved this one!
Thanks!
The scream when you pinched your handddd lmao.
I'm extremely jealous of your flush cutter, gotta get one. I have been using a small diameter straight flute bit and it's miserable.
Really wonderful project. Looks like it's going to be a cool piece when it's done!!
Hahah! Thanks! It’s really an awesome bit
Among UA-camrs of your sub count, I think you’re the only one that doesn’t have a Saw Stop table saw. That would solve your arbor issue. Surprised they have not reached out to you since I think several others have mentioned that Saw Stop hooked them up with a free saw.
Things are happening. Don’t worry for me 😉
Darlin you are a very sharp cookie !!!
🤘
I already loved your content and now knowing that you like eddie vedder makes my heart even warmer while watching your videos. Thanks for being awesome, Tamar!
Haha I miss the 90’s….
Drah’s I love it, reminds me of my family in Maine, I’m from Texas! Nice use of jigs!!! I learn something every time i watch you work!!! My Clamps are heavy to!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year!!!
Haha thanks! You too!
What a great video! I just built a curved front vanity with a poplar false drawer front and poplar door. Managed to carve them both on my CNC, turned out really sharp!
Sounds cool!
your work is always inspiring us. Wondefull job. congrats
Thanks so much!
Amazing work. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
You are the best. Thank you so much.
Glad you like it!
15:25 Bleep! I am wondering, was this heavy? 😂 🤣 Great job, Tamar, can't wait for the full build video!
Haha it was bleeping heavy!!
At my workplace, we use Thermoset adhesive (Epoxy etc) when making anything curved, Thermoplastic glues like PVA tend to open up over time depending on the temperature etc.
👍
Beautiful project Tamar!
I am so glad you chose to laminate your curves, excellent choice because they are typically stronger and not as heavy (vs solid wood), also not as likely to crack because of seasonal changes and time.
I think veneer laminating would be most ideal for control and consistency overall, but the thin ply definitely works for quick simple (get it done) projects.
The reason I say control and consistency is because when you use plywood, you have to assume that their glue will last as long as yours and there are no layer holes in their lamination. When you use solid wood laminate sheets you can guarantee all the layers have no gaps, plus, if you want to do some engraving, you can basically treat it like solid wood or be creative (like we know you would, lol) and use different types of sheets for a unique visual affect.😉
Because you are using a double front, no need to relief cut the box front, just butt cut it to fit inside the sidewalls to maximize your front screw thickness and all you need to do is slightly angle the preholes from the 'draw' wall through the front into the middle portion of the curve which will keep the screws in the thickest section of the front.
Predrilling with course thread screws gives you the best grip on the joints in every direction, of course thickness will always determine the type of screw. I try to use finish head screws in those type applications because you are pulling against the shaft of the screw rather than pulling against the screw head, as a butt joint. Besides, the outer finish piece can be glued on or attached with screws from the inside of the 'draw' anyway, covering the whole face.😁
The other nice thing about finish head screws is no need to countersink because you control how deep below the surface they go, so no slide interference.🙂
Predrilling is definitely a must for a tight fit and to prevent separation of the plywood or lamination.
Can't wait to see final project results.😁👍👌🤙
Good tips
That was a very informative video of what could be a very complicated build. Can't wait to see the finished project. Great job!
I can’t wait to finish it. Ha
