Whelp. There it is folks. I didn't know if this one would work. But I think it does. I think. But if nothing else, it's a sweet little cabinet. And I'm never mad at a nice whiskey cabinet. Cheers.

The juxtaposition of not just the houndstooth to the "stud" drawer sides, but more so that graceful carved sycamore drawer front to the sides really sets it off. Also, the restraint used in the cabinet works well because of the houndstooth and the wood selection. I can imagine in person it almost looks understated, or dare I say boring, from afar, only for the details in the grain, the joinery, and the subtle curve up front to pop out once one is close, to then be greeted with that sycamore upon opening and the stud drawer sides upon even further inspection... You're telling a narrative with how the piece unfolds. Well done, and it definitely deserves to be in a gallery.

@m.d.d.3051 Күн бұрын

The thing I like best about this cabinet is that it isn't over the top. You did what I strive to do in my own work - let the wood speak for itself. And that 5% aesthetic you were going for? Nailed it. I just wonder, in a gallery environment, whether anyone will notice it, depending on how it is displayed.

In my day job making chairs and sanding literally thousands of seats and backs, I have found that using two stacked Mirka interface pads in between the sander and your discs makes an extremely high quality surface before finish. The two pads also let the disc spin more freely eliminating swirls.

I watched to the end, and totally understand what you mean by the 5%. But I think you have "over thought" it. The name of the brilliant furniture maker who hammered a nail into the side of his amazing cabinet to make a statement about "over precious" cabinet makers ( me being one of them ) I thought was brilliant. I think your result would have been much more effective if you had been a little more subtle about it, a bit more in the " Biedermeier" traditional. This won't stop me watching your process 😊

First, the cabinet is stunning and the design choices achieved, in my opinion, what you wanted to achieve. Second, it would be interesting to learn a bit more about how to make knobs and pulls from metal blanks without a metal lathe. Lastly, a question: doesn’t sanding after handplaning clog the ends of the wood fibers? I took a surfaces class years ago with Garrett Hack who talked about cleanly cutting (with a VERY sharp blade) the wood fibers was how to get maximum chatoyance. Not playing gotcha, but seriously curious. Thanks.

One question, one comment. I noted you changed over to a dado blade in your regular table saw. Is there a reason for not having a dedicated dado saw set up? Shared with your shop mate. I have to say it was one of my best splurges to get a used table saw just for dados. Took me 20 years to reach the "What was I waiting for" point. I absolutely love the idea of your discussion with your shop mate and would like to see more of that. It instills in newer woodworkers the advantage of just talking through your ideas with someone else, even if you don't change your mind.

@ENCurtis Күн бұрын

We've actually talked about that for almost a year. It's a square footage issue more than anything, as I already have a spare table saw. But we may get to making that happen in the future. Re your comment, I'm glad it has some value. Hopefully I can convince her to be on camera a little bit more!
