Видео

Unsolicited camera focus advice: for those sitting still shots, auto focus once then turn off auto focus so it keeps the same focal plane the whole time you're talking and doesn't hunt around. Great woodworking though as always!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this video of yours. I have been planning some large rolling cabinets and I came up with that exact same joinery you just used in that door. Except in planning I doubted myself and trashed that version. If it's good enough for you then I assume I was on the right track because that method of joinery solved a bunch of problems for me.

I like mistake fixes. Probably because I screw up a lot. But these are inspiring and help a lot, even though every situation is different. How about a mistake-fixing compilation video?

Always so crisp and clean! Yes sir!

Festool notepad - $89.95 -- Hahaha

saving this

You had me at the ruler trick but lost me at “myriad.” Myriad is an adjective not a noun. Please never, ever, ever….ever use this verbal construction again. It is inaccurate and can cause bladder infections. So: “myriad ways of doing x or y” (correct). Never: “a myriad of ways to do w or z.” (Soulless and wrong). What’s done is done. Growth is never easy. Carry on. I believe in you.

That Festool notepad is probably the only thing I could afford under that name. That, and the $30 Festool pizza cutter they did a run of 🤣

How infantile and unable to focus has the internet and social media collectively made us that anyone would consider a twenty minute video as "long form"?

Do you use CA glue with the brown paper or just wood glue? Great tips!

Minecraft is the best, hands down...

Great video, where is th link to the veritas tool you use to hold the piece of wood ? It's not in the description :'(

I just had to do this on an ornate piece I turned on my lathe. It was finished and I was parting the tenon and it flew out of the chuck.

I have no idea if you're even monitoring these comments a year later but why are you using epoxy rather than wood glue? I know it's a door but something like Titebond III is waterproof. I'm not trying to criticize as I've learned quite a bit from your videos. I'm just curious about the thought process so that I might apply it to my own work.

That gave goodfellas vibes , pairing garlic 😊

are you off abernathy in ATL?

"Frankly, I don't feel like working today." His high paying clients watching his content who have been waiting for there whatchamacallit for six months - "Wait. What? Motherfucker."

Great videos! Would you share what you prefer about Old Brown Glue over Tight Bond II or III for these kind of projects?

Okay, I don't know if they were called pocket holes at the time. But I have a walnut dining table with three leaves, that is at least 40 years old. The skirt is attached to the top ,looks like pocket holes . The holes might be slightly larger for movement, but they are " pocket holes".

Loved the textured cabinet I can totally see it as a inspiration for a floating cabinet for a bathroom.

Great video!!! I had a lot of fun just watching it! New scheme: info, fun, fun, fun, friends 😁😁😁

While I don’t disagree with the first three, the last two bonus items miss the point and don’t make sense. Using a broom instead for the dust extractor is a silly one. How does that broom attach to your tools to collect the dust when operating them? I understand that you could simply let the dust blow out of the machine and then you sweep it up, but is that the safest and healthiest approach? I (and EVERYONE else) think not! Apples and Oranges my friend. And the hammer to replace a hammer drill. Car engine vs. tea cup! Completely different. Could you use the hammer to drill a nice round hole in concrete? A swing and a miss! Good video otherwise!

Common misconception. Dado stacks are not illegal anywhere in the European Union or the UK. What safety regulations have done there is mandate that saws under a certain size have short arbors that only allow a single blade to be fit onto it. The reasoning being fairly practical but of two different components. 1) Saws under their threshold are typically too small to have the mass or power to use a dado stack safely. They either don't have have enough power to spin the mass of a dado stack safely because the motors tend to be underpowered. This means that the saw could, and at some point will, bog down in the middle of a cut which could cause a dangerous kickback. Worse, or at least just as bad, the bogging down could lead someone to just push harder to get the wood through the saw which means a sudden release of tension when the wood does clear the blade leaving a good chance for fingers to go right into the blade. Even smaller saws might see their aluminum tops and/or frames twisting and flexing while being used under the tension being created. 2) Saws under the power threshold inevitably fall into the hobbyist and DIY owners category. This presents a problem as the people that own jobsite saws, contractor saws, hybrid saws and even the smaller end of cabinet saws tend to not be professionals. This also makes the naming of those types of saws a bit intellectually offensive but that's a whole different thing. Most people that own those types of saws are not professionals, have no real experience with power tools or making things with wood and these days likely only have RUclips University education on the subject which is often even more useless than a degree from Trump University. This presents a real danger as these people have no idea of the horrific amount of power they are now holding. There's a real social and economic benefit to minimizing the chances of these people doing something exceedingly stupid and dangerous that they don't realize is even really risky. It's the same thinking behind mandating seatbelts and air bags in cars. You remove as much danger as possible. Most people that buy let's say a jobsite saw to get into woodworking are going to make two or three projects before that little saw goes on a shelf in the garage to gather dust. Most people that try a new hobby never take it up permanently and that's fine. Those people have no business accessing tools that are just wildly dangerous when you have no idea how to use them properly. Case in point on the extreme end - DeWalt NEVER should have been allowed to release that tiny little jobsite saw that can take a dado stack. The people that do pick up woodworking permanently will have enough knowledge and experience by the time they decide to drop a giant pile of money on a good and very large table saw that they will be able to use a dado stack safely. The other group that would have access to saws that large are in an industrial setting where there are safety and training regulations to show people how to use those tools safely before they do so unsupervised.

Sams build video came up in my feed so I watched that and really enjoyed it. So now I am over here. Its good to see content creators still building stuff.

Love the collaboration pieces videos. Love the theory behind creating as well. Much appreciated to you both .

Um…… yo know better. That SMOKE is DESTROYING our planet and causing global warming. Shame on you MR !!!!!!

So, on the not worrying about removing pencil lines on a jointed face, on most pieces I make I do a little doodle on one of the joint faces (usually something very juvenile, you know what that means) just so my clients have a secret piece of art that they’ll never see or know about.

My first plane was a Stanley No. 5 with cracked handle. When building a Moravian bench with a laminated Southern Yellow pine top I was going to use a router sled to flatten. I looked at my No. 5 and said "I am going to give it a go". I put an edge on the blade and went at it, it was one of the best workouts I ever had. The top came out super flat and from that moment I realized I was going to be a hand tool wood worker.

I fuckin' love this channel. Mr. Curtis, thank you for the constant inspiration in my life. I couldn't thank you enough, truly!

How much is a couple of scoops of the wax? What does that look like in the jar?

Here’s a tip. Lower that saw blade. No more through the material than you’re willing to run into your hands. 1/8” is plenty. And yes I realize it’ll tear out slightly more on the bottom. Don’t care, what you’re doing is foolish and could cost you a hand.

Yes sir beautiful

Is David Bowen still making ceramics? I notice his shop is currently empty. Thanks, love the channel.

I just had to walk away from my shop just a few days ago. Things just weren't working out. It's the first time I felt mentally defeated in my woodworking. Luckily, I follow you and recently watched a video where you discussed doing something just for fun and not take it too seriously. It honestly helped turn me around and get back into my shop with a different outlook. Thank you 🙌

Lined up perfectly!

The journey to mastering something (a concept, a task, a skill...) is what makes it exciting, and why I keep starting something new. Learning is fun and exciting. I am glad you are emphasizing that we start off bad and work to get better. BTW, I love your channel.

Now is the time to make time to collaborate with other people that have good AC

Hay Eric do you have a video of that pop up stop block in your table ?

For the beeswax mixture, can Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood conditioner be used instead of the liberon beeswax? The Liberon brand is quite expensive.

Bro, I’m here trying to build and sell enough stuff to buy a domino in cash and you bust out a HAND-HELD CNC machine. Hand held. CNC. I’ll just save my money for the belt-worn CNC laser that just dices stuff while you stand there.

Yeah but what about showing us something that isn’t perfect and flawless! *sigh* Stop it Eric!

I dearly miss having the room to have a radial arm saw in the shop. It was far and away the best, quickest way to make tenons and half laps not to mention dados for shelves. However the sliding table on my new Harvey table saw might be even better.

I’m restoring an old pick up truck. It has the wood in the bed. I’ve made all new wood slats. Would this work if I used an exterior urethane with UV stabilizers in it Looking for something with ease of repair if I scratch it down the road

Is good. Is different.

I don't have a router plane, although it will be my next purchase, so I'm not really familiar with their operation. However, as to a clockwise turn raising the blade, that would happen with a regular threaded rod. Lowering it would require a left handed thread, in which case the JKM is not the odd-ball. I could be wrong, of course. I've never actually held a router plane. ;)

Ok, first let me say that you have inspired a 56 year old man to discover the art of wood working with only non powered hand tools. I recently moved to a small townhouse, and I am turning a room on my basement into a "woodshop". I can't explain the joy of being in my own little world, building and creating things. A few tools, a design and lots of mistakes in between, I am slowly perfecting a skill I didn't know I had. Thank you so much, truly you are the best. Now my wife asked me if I can make a sofa Lol, baby steps I replied.

Excellent presentation, thanks

this was such a nice vid, as a small-shopper its cool to see the potential. I'm curious if you've ever thought about doing a video on the books/resources you keep coming back to for learning/inspiration

I buy what I want.

Man the Shaper Origin would have had that thing done lickety split!
