I built myself a small cabinet to fit in a nook in my house last year. I had been a viewer of your channel for a bit, and I happened to catch another video of yours where you were using a story rod to mark the location of the door hinge mounts, and you stopped to explain what you were doing and why. Well, that made sense to me, so I did the same thing for my cabinet, and it worked like a champ. I appreciate the extra effort then and now.

When I stumbled upon this channel, I was impressed by the woodworking skills shown in the videos. The narration and editing is always done very well and makes it fun to watch. But I have to admit, what really puts a smile on my face every time is the kiwi accent. From one professional woodworker to another: keep doing what you are doing, Joey. You are very good at it.

I was listening to The Shop Stool Podcast today and heard mention of the possibility of you making your videos private and/or deleting the channel altogether. I want you to know that the reason I consume your videos, many of them several times, is for the sake of learning the craft. I completely agree with you on the aspect of adverts taking over everything and content creators only being in it for the content creation. No arguing with that on many of the channels. Why I enjoy yours and other channels like Squarerule Furniture is the simplicity of it. You are creating artwork called furniture. I don't care if it's just a bunch of boxes that eventually become a cabinet, or fine detail like your cabriolet legs. I enjoy watching these videos because I'm learning while I watch. These are your creations, and if you decide to take down or make your videos private I will most certainly not hold it against you. I just wanted you to know how I felt about them. They are a great source of enjoyment, and I appreciate the years of work you have put into them.

I started with a Graco sprayer like yours and eventually worked out that you lose about 50% of your material in overspray. So, I invested in a Fuji Q5 hvlp sprayer. Not only do I much better results and finer control, I only lose about 10% material to overspray now, possibly less. With material shortages, maybe that would be a good option for you to make the most of your paint supplies.

Hello Joey love the Chanel. I’m just a hobbiest wood worker but i was interested in your comments about the top and bottom of a carcass. as you say partical board does not hold fixings well . i have a different take in that if you are using mechanical fixings they are much less likely to pull out with excess load if put in laterally rather than vertically which is why the manufacturers go down this route it carries a higher failure load
@KingPostTimberWorks
@KingPostTimberWorks 3 жыл бұрын
Your right about the way the fixing works, but. The fixings are there to hold the carcass together not to take the working load. With the side coming down onto the bottom panel the plywood is doing all the hard work.

For the doors with regards twisting. Do you get your lumber, machine it down to oversized and then leave it for a week or two? To see if any internal tension in the wood or any excess moisture would make it twist at all?? Here in Ireland the timber we get is said to be "kiln dried", well I can very easily say that it has never been within 10 kilometres of a kiln, so warping and twisting is literally a constant issue for me.

Hi Joey. You glue and screw cabinets rather than using biscuits, dominoes etc. Is that your preferred method?
@KingPostTimberWorks
@KingPostTimberWorks 3 жыл бұрын
Typically I just screw the cabinets together. Biscuits or dominos can be useful in some cases but generally don't add any strength to the cabinet. Typically the panel you are using (plywood) will provide plenty of strength in it's own. Things like built in cabinets , once installed are under very load or stress if assembled probably and don't require things like dominos.
