Bending wood into one-of-kind furniture.

So, the big question is…do you prefer curved lines over angular or straight lines? Countless studies have been done on this topic for centuries and the research unequivocally shows that people prefer curvature over rectilinear shapes as they tend to be more beautiful and calming. While visiting my good friend Paul at Copper Pig Woodworking, we were brainstorming potential project ideas that revolve around the Stadium shape that he frequently incorporates into his work. This geometric shape has such a soothing construct with so many potential applications in furniture design. We were discussing how it could be used in a larger cabinet and not just in smaller boxes that he had made numerous times over. And that’s when he pulled a sketch for a whiskey cabinet out of his back pocket that I immediately fell in love with…the shape, the design and the endless opportunities for customization of the design. Now, I don’t drink, so in my head, I just replaced the word whiskey with coffee or seltzer. But it took all of about 3 seconds and I turned to Paul and said “let’s build it.” And that’s when the 2-1/2 year journey began. Sadly, I accept full blame for that, but that’s all water near a bridge…

This is my favorite type of comment and we appreciate it so much. This is really our goal, to build something using the vernacular of craft, but can illicit emotion to the point that a human being considers it more "art" than craft. Our other goal was to spend time together and enjoy each other's company. I'm happy to say both goals were achieved!

Keith, what a wonderful video. The cabinets are beautiful and it was fun watching the journey of them being built. With regards to the brass turning green when exposed to shellac, it may be that the shellac is slightly acidic in pH, and when it contacts the brass (which contains around 60% copper), it oxidizes the copper to form a copper oxide that is green. Think about the statue of Liberty which is greenish in color. Copper turns green when oxidized, and that copper oxide layer actually protects the copper from further oxidation. David Marks taught a class where he showed how to gild wooden pieces with copper or silver leaf, then apply sulfide based chemicals to the metal to form beautiful colors (called interference colors). While not exactly analogous, it is similar in that the process forms deposits on the surface of the metal which add color. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos.

My daily struggles include: knowing when the project is done, seeing the forrest through the trees, and being objective. Sometimes it just kelps to hear someone tell you you're doing a great job and you are. Also don't beat yourself up with comparison! I watch your peers too and I enjoy you every bit as guys like Jason and Cam. Your projects are things I'd love to tackle in some form one day. People watch Cam bc no one is going to spend $5k on a slab and stress about screwing it up. So we watch Cam to see if he will. No one is going to build a cow trough boat so we get entertained by Jason to see if he drowns. I get more substance from your videos on how to woodwork and am entertained and I learn.

Hi Keith, Great job, great collaboration. I’m not a wizard of design, but one of the lessons I’ve learned mathematically is that harmonizing curves is not easy, whereas rectangular forms can be made to look harmonious almost by intuition alone. So I wasn’t terribly surprised that you abandoned your firs design, and settled on a more linear approach. And hexagons follow naturally from circles, so you hit on the right solution. In fact a hexagon can be constructed using just a compass and a straight edge, so it’s bound to harmonize with the semicircular ends of the stadium design. And speaking of mathematics, I guess that you used N+1 clamps, where N is the number that fit comfortably. As usual, the video production was top notch. Cheers, Keith

Absolutely gorgeous work, and it's great seeing Paul on KZfaq! I've often wished he had a channel, but I understand he's a little too busy as a scientist to mess around on KZfaq.

@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Ай бұрын

Thanks man! Yeah, it's unfortunate that Paul has zero interest in creating content - it takes the fun out of woodworking for him. I guess I'll just have to keep roping him into collaborations! 😜

Finally someone who understands!!😅😂. If I made KZfaq videos my production would crawl to a halt. Keith is really the genius behind all this videography and telling such a wonderful story. I much more enjoy just making things, The recording of videos and taking a pictures and editing always feels like a chore to me. With life being finite I try to prioritize what I really enjoy doing 🙂. Thanks for understanding mate

@505Daniel Ай бұрын

@Copper_Pig_Woodworking yeah that makes sense. I mean, for me I love editing and recording video and audio (I'm actually an audio reporter/radio journalist/whatever for the local NPR outfit), so half the fun would be content production, and the other half the building of beautiful objects, as Eric Curtis might say. But, to each thier own. You could always go the Blacktail route and hire a videographer/editor. But that's just me wanting more good content. 😅

Everclear is a great all-purpose thinner and solvent. Besides cleaning brushes and tools, it's also ideal for de-icing your windows in cold weather. Just mix it 1:1 with water in a spray bottle. and it will melt the ice on contact. If you use distilled water, there won't even be any residue when it dries.

Great tip! I wonder if distillers had these other uses in mind when they started making their devil's nectar...🤔🤣

isn’t shellac bad for things that have alcohol around bc if you spill alcohol it will leave marks? only asking because I’m trying to figure out finishes for a project of my own

@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Ай бұрын

Yes it is! I totally forgot to mention the at I coated the drink trays with multiple coats of a ceramic coating to prevent any adverse effects of spilled alcohol on the shellac. 👍🏻

Keith, I love the dancing avocado! IMO, the original door design might have worked with a narrow border, perhaps even better split. The metal inlay was very nice. Two and half years! You guys are a fanatics! Tip of the hat for the dedication and the fab results!

I was actually really surprised that you used shellac for these cabinets! Don't get me wrong, it's my favorite finish by a mile, I love it. Just hope nobody with shaky hands is ever pouring good stuff 😅 As for the shellac/epoxy issue, I'd have to look at the formulation of the epoxy to let you know for sure, so this is a guess: Epoxy doesn't react to most alcohols, so it's gotta be the shellac itself, and if you're using dewaxed shellac (which most people are) the main products left are basically resin acids which could partially redissolve the epoxy. It's definitely POSSIBLE that they tarnish whatever you used to get the brass color (these are weak acids after all), and you could test that by mixing a small amount, but my guess is more that after the epoxy is partially dissolved, it mixes with the chemicals in the shellac and discolors. You could test THAT theory by shellacing some undyed epoxy and seeing if the color gets wonky.

@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Ай бұрын

The drink trays were sealed with multiple coats of N3 Ceramic coating, so spillage won't be an issue. Unfortunately, I neglected to mention that in the video. And thanks for your insight into the epoxy/brass discoloration...sounds like Paul has some experimenting to do 🤣
