Really appreciate that ! Yeah I don’t plan to stop. Last time I started making videos a couple years back I was in a very different place . It was a trial run. This is the real thing. Already have 3 more videos in the works . Although don’t expect them all to be equally good 😂

I am new to your videos, but it appears to me that if you are gluing together many boards to make panels from various solid woods your operation would benefit greatly adding a dedicated rip saw. Nice to see biscuits used for keeping boards aligned. Why do you hold or position the belt sander at an angle to grain rather than parallel? Ray Stormont

@cabinetwise 2 ай бұрын

Yes agreed! I just chose a few short clips to show belt sanding but in a scenario like this I’ll start at an angel to cut across the planks as that will cut through faster as I’m smoothing out the surface . then I straighten it out and run it back and forth with the grain . Then multiple passes with the orbital to ensure every scratch mark from the belt sander is gone . Yes running it at an angle will create cross scratch marks the needs to be removed . Perhaps it’s just my impatience but I like doing it that way.

Excellent video. What type of bisquit jointer do you use ?

I use a lot of walnut myself. I’m curious if it will be lacquer. I’m not fond of the ambering over time and so far the only one that doesn’t is a water based urethane finish which doesn’t bring out the grain much. Any thoughts?

@cabinetwise 2 ай бұрын

It will be a low sheen clear Gemini catalyzed conversion varnish . This is thicker than lacquer so it requires less coats while also providing a substantial protective barrier . Ambering doesn’t seem to be an issue but conversion varnish is difficult to do . I have a finisher who does it . The water based which dont have as much experience with , does give the wood a more natural look and therefore yes most muted grain. Also seems so be the thinnest and will offer the least protection as far as standing up to use over the years in my opinion. Probably will need many many coats but your correct it will amber less and will stay more brown if that’s the the goal between that and lacquer .

Awesome work! Why using biscuit versus your festool domino?

@cabinetwise 2 ай бұрын

Thanks ! Just wanted to show a different method and that there are many methods to arrive at the same result . Plus I’m sure more people have a biscuit joiner than a domino .

Do you have a video how did you make drawer fronts ?

@cabinetwise 2 ай бұрын

That wasn’t the focus in this video since I got these ones doors from cal door , my door vendor , but I’ll happily make a video on how to make these . It’s actually not that difficult. It’s basically a shaker door , with an applied moulding . So if you can make a shaker door and do basic trim work you can do it .

Taste is personal but skill is universal. I’m not a fan of the aesthetic of this piece; but so what? It wasn’t made for me and I’m sure the new owner loves it. However, the skills shown are extremely high. And that why I’ve just subscribed. I’m not sure it there is, or why there is, any difference between a cabinet and a piece of furniture. As William Morris said, try to have nothing in your house which is neither functional nor beautiful. Most pieces of furniture perform a function - if it doesn’t, isn’t that then art? A cabinet forms a function as does a table or a chair or a box. So, for me, there is no meaningful distinction. I do understand that cabinet makers are likely to use more flat sheets of timber and perhaps more man made pieces such as plywood. But that perhaps only means that some of their machinery and tools are more aligned to that. I’ve been woodworking for well over 45 years and I think the only pieces I’ve ever made which have function and maybe not a lot of beauty have been for my shop itself.

Yes this is all very well said ! And everyone’s tase and preference is indeed different. Each piece is made to fit the room /decor ( in this case existing wainscot paneling) and the client’s requests/ needs . I’m really going to think about what you said because I like this mentality and very much want to apply it to all that I do as I continue to grow in this craft. Thank you
