ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This is the hardest piece I've ever built. From the slab top to the curved from doors, to the trapezoidal cabinet. This was a lot to pack into a single piece.

The Most Frequently Asked Question I'm Getting on this video is: *@**24:21** Why didn't you just flatten the entire top of the side panels on the CNC. Here is my response:* Two main reasons: 1. I was worried that if something went wrong...it would go VERY wrong VERY quickly. Doing it this way, if it didn't work out it would be much easier to salvage. 2. My sides were off, but perfectly symmetrical. Using the CNC to flatten it, it would be very difficult to ensure they have the exact same amount removed because of the way I had to hold it in position. If I could have thrown the whole thing up on the bed of the CNC that would work...but how I was doing it on the pallet stacker thing...would not be nearly as accurate. Trust me...the floor of my shop is far from flat and level. Doing it this way I could zero out the bit before I cut each plate recess. So even if the way I was holding it caused one end to be 2" higher than the other (that's an exaggeration,) the process would still work. *Couldn't you have made the curved fronts by running them sideways across a tablesaw blade instead of using the CNC? Using the circular shape of the blade to make the curve.* You could do something similar. For anybody not familiar what they are talking about is called a "Cove Cut" on a table saw. Doing that you're limited to the radius of your blade which is 10" (I think) on a table saw. I did the math and to make these particular arcs, in the drawer front you'd need a blade with something like a 29 foot diameter.

Then I got home, ate dinner with my wife and baby, and watched 30 minutes of woodworking from one of the dudes (and Shaun!) who inspired me to really make it my career now. Pretty cool, still love it.

I think this is what differentiates your channel from others.

@jasmeralia 9 ай бұрын

I agree. I know some people really enjoy the maker videos with absolutely no talking, but I'm the opposite. I love hearing what their intent was, how they planned to achieve that, the frequent cases of what went wrong and how they compensated for those unexpected challenges, the inner thought process of working through the build, and the just overall knowledge imparted during the course of the video. And I'm not a maker myself; most of the maker content that I watch is something that I'll 100% guaranteed never actually try myself. But I don't care that the knowledge gained has no personal use for me; I enjoy learning the details solely for the sake of learning itself alone. It might be truly irrelevant to me and my life, but I vehemently disagree with the concept of any form of knowledge being worthless.

My biggest problem with woodworking and imposter syndrome is having learned on KZfaq. The HOURS you stand there just looking and analyzing. Working through a solution in every way to ensure the part both fits, looks good, and doesn't get in the way of the order of operations. Everyone on KZfaq just "instantly" has the answer. Thank you for highlighting the 2 hours of standing there just to perform a 52 second operation. Hrmm... Story of our lives, am I right guys? HAHAHA But yes, keep up the excellent work sir!

It's a huge part of building. Many times I just set something down for the day, and think about it while I go on my nightly walks, etc... Some people prefer the "make one cut then figure out the next" method. I like to think about the next few steps, then start making cuts. Most of the time.

About 5 minutes ago, I was saying to my wife how I know conceptually how to install some wires and posts for a vine to grow along and to support pear tree branches. I already have bits and pieces of brackets that I could use to do the job now. But... I'll need to stare at it and meditate on it and pretty much pray for how to do it with elegance so it enhances what we see as we look out of our window and what people see as they walk past it. So far, we have succeeded with our house so that people who come to visit and people walking past feel uplifted by the form and function, stop to chat, and build connections. These videos are an example of that intention

Would have to been to leave a bit more of the lighter wood on the walnut to allow a more gradual blend of the two different type of wood.

I'm an artist and when you talked about the "bad" slabs I feel like I get it. My work is very different but in this case sometimes working with limitations or restrictions enhances your creativity, in a sense knowing your boundaries almost forces you to think more deeply about what you can do within those boundaries instead of starting on a completely blank canvas or a perfect slab, you're not just working around it's flaws, you're working with them, and showcasing these "flaws" as a unique feature that gives your work a personality and character, and the slabs being cheaper is just the cherry on top being able to turn boundaries into inspiration is one of the most valuable things anyone can have in any creative profession, sometimes I even have trouble saying "no" but I must because my waiting list can't go on forever sometimes you just look at a problem or limitation and say "I have an idea" and it might not always be the right call, but when it is it's such an empowering feeling of intrinsic validation that grows as you get better at making creative decisions

So shipping could be done through a third party, though it would not be free. What the legal/tax/accounting implications that might have for Rockler is for the specialist to figure out.

The advice at the beginning is so spot on. On you first project, aim out of your comfort zone, try new things. If the whole thing is new and seems simple enough...add some details. I did a resin chess set this summer. It's not great(some minor flaws, but also some impressive bits), but I learned a LOT with multiple colors, pours, inlays....along with all the side-experiments with UV resin and epoxy resins and silicone mold-making, etc. Learned enough I molded and then made a part for my fridge handle, repaired someone's eyeglasses and some other misc odds and ends that turned out fantastic. Aim big, you'll learn more. Screw up? Say, "Good, I learned something." and move on. [Thanks Jocko Willink] You will always come away better than when you started. Either you did more than you thought you could, or you learned and improved yourself along the way.

It always amazes me that there's a section of KZfaq commenters that believe that any use of a CNC or epoxy isn't "real woodworking." They make it sound like epoxy and CNCs are basically cheats that make the build super simple and require no skill. I don't get that at all because they pretty clearly just don't make it simple in the slightest. It might require a different set of skills than using solely hand tools, but mastering resin or how to fully leverage a CNC are 1000% skill based... there's just so many ways things can go wrong, and it requires great skill to make the machine do what you actually want it to do or have the resin give the desired appearance.

This is so beautiful bro! I am a video game composer and I love taking breaks from work to get inspiration from other creatives in other fields. I always feel refreshed and inspired from watching your videos, seeing the ups and downs of your creative process and ultimate triumph when you finish a piece.

Really enjoy watching your videos. Not just for the end result (but partially that), nor simply for the techniques (but again, partially that). I like the way your videos look, and your narration sensibilities. Also why I watch videos from a large portion of the others you made that content creation course with.

Considering the messages you mentioned about "using epoxy for everything.. etc", this video is an excellent example to show that it's not that simple. It can be a complex case where things get wrong, and you need to get 10 steps back, rethink, and use it as an opportunity to improve the original idea. Kudos to you and your team, sir. You've been doing fantastic work!

Thanks Thiago...appreciate the kind words. It is definitely not easy. And it's given me a new appreciation for panels. I don't enjoy making them, but when I do I think..."thank god I'm not flipping a huge slab of wood over 30 times"

Fantastic piece!! I enjoy your honesty when it comes to your struggles. So many other makers ignore them in their vids. Thank you.

I may not be a woodworker, but I do a number of creative things myself, from writing to cross-stitching, and I think much of what you say here is universally true. Trying things that I haven’t done before and am not sure if I know how to do - that I really want to do - is how I’ve learned everything I know. It’s the best, most effective way to learn. And also it’s just fun! You get to solve new problems for new situations, and sometimes you fail, but often you don’t. Anything worth doing is worth risking failure for.

Amazing build. It's great to have clients like Scott. Highlighting the seam is a real pro move. All about the reveals. Curious why you don't ever use a biscuit joiner. I think I know the answer, you have a domino and are comfortable with it, but I own both and the only time I don't reach for the biscuit joiner is when it won't do the job. It's faster and cheaper both in terms of the tool itself and consumables and the side to side slop of a biscuit mortise is really handy when you only care about alignment in one direction.

@Foureyes.Furniture 9 ай бұрын

Thanks. And you pretty much guessed the answer to your question. I don’t own a biscuit joiner either. Actually never used one. Might not be a bad thing to grab for panel making. Heck. Just the savings on wear and tear to the domino could be worth it.

For the epoxy pump: if you don’t use it for a while the resin can gum up inside the metal tubes, idk where I saw it, but someone made little plugs to put in when they weren’t planning on using it due a while. Also, unless they’ve updated the design, you need to pop the lids a smidge for air flow when pumping.

@Foureyes.Furniture 9 ай бұрын

Good warning. That will probably happen to me. I go several weeks without using epoxy typically.

well done! sometimes we can get bogged down with details and complex processes, it's always good to get an outside perspective when hitting a block. Doesnt always help or end up your final solution, but will often lead you down a simpler path. I havent seen your full body of work to say if this is your best or not, but it's certainly an amazing piece. I really like what you did with the wave style door faces. Keep pushing yourself deeper into things you enjoy. It shows in the end result.

Great work! I’ve always loved woodworking for at least 2 things: 1. You can’t screw up) there is always a way forward) 2. You can get to the same result by so many different ways/tools and techniques. Btw i had a project where i used the same technique for the top but i had 2 almost identical y-shaped slabs and i spited one in two halves and added them from the sides to the second slab making it wider. But i didn’t have a cnc)

I like your videos not because they are well done but also the craftsmanship you have and the process. Although not all of your work is not my preferred taste, but that's the difference between not liking it and admiring the talent, creativity, and the show of passion you have towards your work and that's the reason I watch. Again, I love your content and work so keep up the spectacular pieces you build!

Amen to your last quote about the most beautiful is not necessarily the hardest thing you've built. My nicest piece was a plain walnut with perfectly arched sapwood mantle. With 10 coats of sun baked in beeswax as a finish. Flipping out of this world!!! A couple of saw cuts to square off the end and sanding.

I've been watching your channel for many years, IMO you are very creative. I do have one suggestion: The sooner you realize that anyone's opinion that you are not sleeping with or putting money into your pocket doesn't mean $hit. You can easily recognize people who respect you and offer helpful suggestions. Keep trucking!!!

Great! Now you just outed me for sleeping with this commenter. Good point. And don't worry. I don't worry about the opinions too much. I only talk about them when they make for good conversation in a video. Gets boring if you try to fill up 34 minutes with. Cut this, cut that, type VO.

I love the "slap back" humor you use. I think it's great that you take a stab at people who make comments or point out obvious things that nobody cares about or are even paying attention to. I like your work. At first it took me several videos to learn to enjoy your videos. not because they aren't good. They are fantastic. I already have a bunch of others I watch. And IRONICALLY some are in that course you mentioned. 😀 But I have grown very attached to watching your videos. There is so many reasons so I won't keep babbling. Keep it up. I enjoy your craftsmanship and your "humor".

@Foureyes.Furniture 9 ай бұрын

Hey Alfonso...thanks for writing this. It's good to read. It's actually something that I think about a lot. I put a lot of extra work into these videos, and sometimes wonder if I'm almost doing myself a disservice. Like, would MORE people like the videos if I just presented them slightly more "straight forward"? I don't know. All I do know is...as soon as I sit down to make an edit, it's very hard to not fall back into being the natural me...which always veers into the goofy sarcastic side of things. I'm glad that people can enjoy that.
