⚙️ SHOW NOTES - EPISODE #105: Flush fit drawers are nice but you can take them to the next level by adding cock-beading, a raised solid wood bead applied to the edge. Just yesterday I was asked how to add this type of bead and realized that with several flush fit Shaker drawers in the works, this is the perfect time to show you. I’ll demo the tips and tricks I learned thirty years ago to make an easy and beautiful job of it. Enjoy! (Closed captioned)

I know this was 2 years ago but I just love your instructive style, humor and true artistic ability. Love your videos. Your camera ( man) does a great job also!

Thank you so much, means a lot to me. I think the style is just born of trying to be as authentic as possible (as much as you can be with a camera in your face) and doing something I love. It’s a pleasure to share our lives with people like you 👍😎

Ive just discovered your channel and absolutely love it. I'm a furniture maker myself and really appreciate the level of your work and the teaching resource you are providing. I also recognise the wail of anguish when a cut goes wrong and the painful but ultimately instructive way our mistakes teach us. Sometimes a happy accident can show us something that we never would have thought of. On a purely subjective note, I think, if you bring the cock-beading flush with the drawer front, it looks even classier. Thanks Tom, I'm hitting your archive randomly and can't wait for what turns up next.

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it and the channel! And to your last point I agree, a flush line inlaid around an edge is a great look too. When flush it’s called edge “binding” and I have done a few videos on this topic. Cock-beading by definition is proud of the edge. Thanks again! We have a website too you might like to check out for fun: epicwoodworking.com 👍😎

Loved your story about getting to a certain phase of the production and executing an action that belonged to another phase. At least you had a chance to fix it so that no-one else would ever know. Try doing that if you're an actor or an opera singer.

😂 Yeah, your right about that! Now that I’m doing “live streaming” I’m feeling more aware of that performance kind of mistake happening to me too, but there will always be someone for whom it’s a bigger deal! Thanks for watching! 👍😎

@@EpicWoodworking I think it makes drawers look very professional, aswell as adding some interest to it :) until I seen this video I wasnt even sure what the exact name for this beading was heheh :P So not only have you taught me how its done, youve taught me what its called too :)

You can send that beautiful 12 year chest my way.. I’ll gladly keep/use it and won’t even wheel you off to a home, haha. Not sure where you apprenticed down in NC, I’m down in Jacksonville NC and don’t really know anyone or of any wood shops that need a person with my disabilities hanging around. I can’t work but I would love to spend some time just being a fly on a stool in a wood shop and metal fab/welding. I would be lucky to make it in twice in a week….. maybe it would help my self isolation and anxiety issues.

@EpicWoodworking Жыл бұрын

Yes, thank you JK. I agree, getting out even when you don’t feel like it can help. We aren’t meant to be alone, so thanks for joining me on the livestream when you can…it’s not really being here but the next best thing 😎 My 12 yr chest is now a 13 yr chest, I’ve got to get that into the house soon! We lived in Wilson NC, 1990 - late 1997, and I apprenticed with Pug Moore in Rocky Mount NC, on 2800 Sunset Ave…there’s a Sonic Burger there now. 👀😎

(1) Seeing the seams is a bit unseemly, or so it would seem --a comment that is not the least bit seamy. Sorry. I could NOT help myself. (2) As to the moment you realize you have screwed up, despite many such experiences over the years I have never become enured to this feeling. Passing strange. 🤔 (3) Using the veneer saw to finish removing the offcut for the bead is an excellent technique. Nicely done -- and thanks for the tip. (4) The hand work on the miter joints of the beading is very cool. Another great technique. A great session and video, as always. Thank you both.

Thanks Jerry! Seams you got a bit carried away 😎 So glad you enjoyed it, I love this bead detail, adds so much and relatively fast and easy to do once you get the hang of it. Thanks as always for watching and being part of us! 👍😎

Doing this without a table saw, is it possible? I don’t have a router or router table. I have a hand router but I think that would take forever. I don’t know why I thought this style beading was just a pre cut piece of banding glued or tacked onto the front face of the drawer. So, if you wanted to do this on the face of a drawer with a bulging center your stock would either have to be very wide to start with or do it in sections and plain it down?? I just need to get a table saw I guess. I don’t know why I’m so worried about using it.

@EpicWoodworking Жыл бұрын

Yes, I think a tablesaw makes the process quite straightforward. And it’s true, a curved drawer requires wider bead stock. If you do pick up a tablesaw, take it slow and practice on scrap making light cuts at first. It also helps to wax the tablesaw table to make the workpiece glide easily on the surface. Have fun! 👍😎

Spectacular! Thank you for this, Tom. I've been curious about cock beading recently but really had no idea how to go about it. I would have made something up, and it wouldn't have included any of the really great tips you demonstrate! I'm really looking forward to trying it.

Excellent, I’m glad you found it useful Charlie! It’s a great embellishment detail and not all that difficult once you’ve done one 👍😎

Great video Tom. I really enjoy your Thursday evening shows. I do have a question for you. What is the name/type/model number of the plane you used on your shooting board? Thanks.

@EpicWoodworking 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Scott, I’m using the Lie Nielsen #9, their miter plane version of an older Stanley model. Unfortunately I learned they are no longer making this plane. However, you can find other types of nice miter planes by doing a Google search. Hope that helps, thanks for watching! 👍😎

Hi Tom, excellent SNL session, I always wondered how to go about adding cock beading to a drawer, now I know. Tom I thought about my question on the bead holder jig Thursday night, I think you were referring to the fence on the table saw to cut the slot. Did you cut the slot first ,then the 45 degree bevel? Thank you for sharing the beading process, see you next week.

@EpicWoodworking 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve! I rip the center groove first then cut the 45 degree bevels on each side. That way you have greater stability through the initial center groove cut. Glad you enjoyed it, I always like the look of this added detail! 👍😎

Yes, that certainly works as well, I’ve seen it on quite a few older chests. Sometimes simpler is better! 👍😎
