In this video we'll show you how to build complex boxes, or cabinets for your woodworking projects. I use trapezoidal cabinets in a lot of my projects, and I get a ton of questions about it, so I wanted to make 1 video that goes over everything you'll need, how I simplify the process, and my entire workflow for building complex, non-90º cabinets or boxes...all in one place. This video has lots of woodworking and theory, but I think if you watch it once or twice you'll see that it's really not as hard as it might look at first :)

Chris, I know this video is a year old, but I subscribed and have been going through your content. You hit this out of the park. I find all your work interesting and entertaining. I especially enjoy the "live" work you guys occasionally show. You've said it b4 in a video. There are lots of mistakes made that are not shown, so it makes it look like everyone nails it 1st try. It kind of bums you out when ur making a project and struggle in an area. You guys are very entertaining, and your videos are excellent. Keep up the good work.

@Foureyes Furniture I saw a video where part of it was live. You give a lot of instruction in separate videos and that's great. I think sometimes people are looking for how you do some of the things you do. I guess more instructional if you will. I like a good mix. I also think changing you style from time to time makes it better for a more diverse audience. Kings woodworking does the same videos and I find them boring. Meanwhile James is a brilliant woodworker. I'm a fan so I'll follow how and what you do. I'm in the middle of getting my garage turned into my shop so when that happens I'll be purchasing some of your plans.

I think I'm likely wrong, but if you were to use you jig to make a square box it would come out square. Say cut both ends of the top and bottom horizontal, or at 44.9*, and the 2 sides vertically, or 50.1*, it would come out as a true rectangle. But trapezoid look better, so that's the better option anyways.
@Foureyes.Furniture 3 жыл бұрын
That definitely wouldn’t work. Where any two miters meet. They have to be cut the same way. So in you’re scenario, for example, where the top left corner would have one Bevel cut horizontally and one cut vertically. So unless your blade was a perfect 45, the two bevel faces would be different sizes. So the inside and outside corners of the bevel couldn’t even meet. Hope that makes sense.

With your initial cuts, I noticed that once you cleared the saw and released the jig, the piece angled to your left a little more (5:30). Was putting some clearance between the blade side of the jig and the table intentional? If so, how could you be assured you were getting the proper angle while cutting?
@Foureyes.Furniture 3 жыл бұрын
This is personal preference. When I built my jig, I built it so that the vertical pieces of the cradle don't touch the table top. They are a little too short. It was probably a bad idea in hindsign. Hence, I teach to build it so that they do. That means I need to keep downward pressure on the jig as it passes through. Otherwise it could tilt. if you build it the way I talk about in the video though...that shouldn't happen. I should rebuild mine....but I'm lazy, and so far it keeps working :)
@flowoodpiano717 3 жыл бұрын
@@Foureyes.Furniture LOL, thanks. You're so careful in your work that I wondered if this was deliberate or simply something you compensated for during the cut.

So if you want an arbitrarily perfect rectangle, set your blade as close to 45 as you can, then cut your horizontal pieces horizontally and your vertical one vertically. They’ll technically end up a trapezoid but will be indistinguishable from a perfect rectangle. Edit: I got to minute 12 and see you addressed this
