Achieve maximum visual impact by using Live Edge Joinery for natural wood slabs by eliminating a typical straight glue line that disrupts natural flow of wood's vibrant grain patterns. Live Edge Slabs joined with the process shown in this video can be use for any project from the cabinet doors shown here to tables, bar tops... pretty much anything! Since there's plenty of videos out there for making cabinet doors I don't go into that process in this video but focus on the method I use for joining 2 sequentially matched 18~20 inch wide elm slabs into one uber-wide slab which got cut into the 4 individual doors shown in the video thumbnail.
Here's that Amazon Influencer's tool list I mentioned in case you need something to make a live edge joint that you don't have and can't find it locally: www.amazon.com/shop/nextlevel...
Note that purchases made through these links are the same low online cost to you but Amazon pays small ad fees to Next Level Carpentry and I really appreciate it!
Don't forget the exclusive 15% Discount Code for viewers of Next Level Carpentry. Use code NLC at checkout for 15% off any and all of the excellent Starbond CA glue products I use and recommend!
bit.ly/3DzbHpj and tell 'em I sent you!
Official NLC teeshirts, posters, mugs and stickers are available through Teespring here: teespring.com/stores/next-lev... where sales generate small profits which help support video production too... thanks!
Here's a link to Collector's Specialty Woods in Denver: cswoods.com/
If you follow that link, be prepared to be amazed. If you ever have opportunity to visit CS Woods warehouse/showroom, be prepared to be utterly amazed! In addition to an eye-popping, mind boggling inventory of gorgeous wood slabs of every species and on a grand scale, everyone I encountered in the business from the owner to warehouse/sales staff were as enthusiastic as they are knowledgeable about wood. They were well able to dial in to what I was looking for to the extent that I felt each person felt a bit of 'ownership' of the project and worked to make this Live Edge Joinery project happen. However you interact with this next level business I hope you'll tell them you learned about CS Woods on Next Level Carpentry.

When M. Jackson talks, wise people listen! Yes, I modified the old E.F. Hutton slogan to fit here. Matt is a great teacher and takes the time to go in depth for those of us that thirst for the knowledge he is graciously giving us. I have a strong dislike for those whom try to snuff his personality and spirit by posting negative comments. Most of us including those Negative Nellies watch many other youtube carpentry channels as well. I won't mention any here but I know for a fact through being mentioned in their videos that many of our other beloved youtubers look up to Matt. Matt is a master and his Mattisms are what make him interesting. Shine on my friend!

That is what I call "stressful fun". When things come out like you envision them, there is a real sense of accomplishment. More stress = More Satisfaction. As you may know, I am an artist and taught art for 35 years. My specialty is fine art photography. People have asked, what is more satisfying, creating or receiving praise? I don't need praise. I know when I have achieved or exceeded my goals. And, the process of creating is what I like. Creative work involves problem solving, and problem solving keeps the brain working. Woodworking provides an endless number of challenges.
