Adam reveals his surprise Christmas present for his wife--a set of custom-designed and built bedroom end tables! These cedar tables aren't just a woodworking exercise; they encapsulate all the aesthetic and functional design that Adam has wanted to put into this kind of furniture, including built-in lighting and power outlets. It's a multi-day journey to make the pair of tables in time for Christmas!

@IFS 3 жыл бұрын

Adam, having just seen your rant on "bevel cuts", one suggestion to resolve your issues with them is to make a V fence plate jig insert for your table saw cross cut sled. Make the V perfectly 90°, 45° each side of the blade, with the point centered on the kerf. This way you can make bevel cuts referencing each piece to the appropriate jig fence where even if your jig is out 0.5° the bevel faces will be parallel and the stock will end up in a 90° relationship, rather than trying to get the exact 45° referencing to a single fence. Alternative is to make a 90° fence jig for your cross cut saw, same principle, where you cut one end against the normal fence and the matching end aligned against the 90° jig fence. Essentially this would be like stacking the ends with the pieces in final 90° orientation, and cutting through both at once.

To REALLY do bevel cuts with the level of precision Adam (i presume) would like, a miter trimmer is the tool you want. Example: Lee Valley has one for ~$219 US - pricey, but when it's the tool you want it REALLY would make a difference. I do not own one; it's not the kind of woodworking I do...just passing on acquired wisdom...

Brian and Branden Moseley Your comment struck home for me, in regards to my Pop. In fact, i had gotten through the entire project without a single sniffle and was feeling rather proud of myself for it. UNTIL I SAW YOUR COMMENT. Half a box of Kleenex later, i tried to recall every single wood build my Pop had done just for me, some of which i still have (i’m 62…hoard much?). And then, there’s the unfinished sailing ship that lives in a storage shed here on my property, that he did from scratch, no kit, and all the individual strips of wood he cut for it that remain unused. The ship itself is 3 or 4 feet long and a couple of feet or so high, counting the masts and all. It is my dream to find some talented soul who is willing to undertake the completion of this vessel, which is probably just that: a dream. Adam, if you are ever up in Mendocino County (about 150 miles north of San Francisco), i have a project that’s got your name on it! Free of charge! Yours to keep! Make it so, Number One!!

"Miter cuts" :) And remember, rather than doing them by hand, if you don't want to bring out the miter saw, you can always do them on the table saw, you just have to make sure to get a solid 45 on the blade. And actually, you could probably "Adamify" it and do them on the Bridgeport.. That could be a good time. :)

Maybe they just need a stop to prevent the drawer fully opening.

It's great and nicer than anything I'd make but there are two things really bugging me about the lighting system: 1) The USB ports are upside down! Once you know the proper way it's really irritating when things are backwards. 2) There could be an extra layer of insulating paper around the switch terminals to help prevent shocks. Fortunately both of these points could be addressed without much work.

One trick for making sure the legs are always square to the floor is to set them on your table saw bench and then using a pencil on a flat surface, mark all four legs for square cuts. And if you haven't tried it, I really, REALLY like finishing the feet of furniture with little pieces of leather. It's easier to keep free of dust and hair and junk than rubber or felt feet, and is a great way to use up old scrap leather that we often have laying around. As an amateur woodworker myself, it was fun to see someone who isn't a genuine, experienced woodworker themselves do this kind of work. It's always so disheartening to struggle with something but see a video of someone just make something and have it all fall together easily and effortlessly, when I'm terrified and struggling in a bunch of different ways. Was one of your best videos to date!

Just realized how scared Adam of the table saw, to the point of using Japanese saw to cut that 6x6 I don't blame him!

Oh and hearing that lovely Japan saw was so sweet!

The much anticipated end tables. They have arrived.

"Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?" I think the original quote uses buy instead of build, but it still works.

AS a guitar builder, I love that a Japanese pull saw is chosen over a power tool...I have been scratch building acoustics for 30 years, and have sill never used a table saw. Thanks for all the riveting, (sorry), episodes that have made the pandemic less claustrophobic. The way you break down a build process is really an art. Cheers,m from far off Santa Cruz.

“This is the final build” *checks* only half way through, sounds about right

Can we Mythbust whether felt works as a coaster? Where does the moisure go--against the wood? My concern here would be the bedside tabletops getting stained and mildewy.

Those soft close full extension drawer slides are what my shop uses for most drawers, I love them.

Wonderful project, thank you so much for sharing! I love the way your end tables turned out. I must say that one missing element was the ability to see your wife's reaction upon the presentation of your gift. In any case, I daresay she was thrilled. And btw, although I am neither expert nor professional in building things, I've been attempting to for decades. I would love to engage in mechanical projects, but most of my forays have been into the Land of Woodworking, where I feel I can grasp the problems at hand and solve them to at least a respectable degree. (As reluctant as I am to take on mechanical projects, I'm downright petrified of plumbing projects and refuse to go near them. Let's call it plumbophobia. One of Dante's 'circles of hell' should be plumbing projects.) Anyway, tung oil has long been my finish of choice for indoor furniture and objects; I just love its quality and the way it allows the grain to come through-especially when applied with patience. Cheers!

I must admit, it felt refreshing to see you pop a breaker with the planer! Happens to me too often in my woodshed/garage! :D

@maverickhusky4165 3 жыл бұрын

I don't know much about woodworking, but wouldn't you have wanted to dry them before putting them in the planer to avoid dealing with warping from drying?

@nickhenscheid369 3 жыл бұрын

If you plane an equal amount off all sides, warp is usually fairly minimal, especially with thicker pieces

@bigblob1030 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed. In most cases I would agree with your point. However, as Nick said, the thickness of the wood is going to prevent most of the warping that you would have to worry about. Also, wood normally flattens out when it dries anyway if it was cut properly.
