When I was a young finish carpenter, I was ripping a piece of 1x6 pine with a Skilsaw, and the wood snapped shut on the blade as I neared a knot. I was ripping one-handed and the saw, heavy as it was, jumped straight towards my face. I blocked it with my other hand, and cut my thumb half off. Fortunately I had nicked the tendons but didn't cut through them, and the thumb healed up perfectly usable. In spite of the doctor laughing when I asked how long it would take to get feeling back in it, it did happen after a few years. But to this day almost fifty years later. accidentally banging the scar on a sharp corner will drop me to my knees with tears in my eyes, because the cut was into the bone.

Our hard Maples are Sugar Maple and Black Maple, both sold as the same thing.

@wittworks: Mitt, I love this video. I'm from Hungary, where hardwood is extremely expensive, and most furniture (kitchen cabinets and mostly all storage type furniture) is built from 18 mm MDF. You can get anything for the right money, but the average person has a hard time to buy real wood furniture made of pine, so I'm happy that you have included this type of wood. To be perfectly honest, pine furniture isn't that frowned upon in Europe as it is in the US.

I live in Fort Worth, and I had always been curious about the Plywood Company. You mentioned them in a previous video, and I decided to be brave and give them a shot. So I bopped over and drove in to the bay in my tiny little truck, and ... WOW. Incredible products, incredible prices, very nice people. I had been jumping through hoops trying to finish a shop project using only wood I had on hand, and I realized for $40 I could get new, gorgeous red oak, thus saving myself TONS of time and effort for much nicer-looking final product. So be brave, fellow amateurs, shopping where the big boys shop is tons of fun! So, thanks, Mitt!

@@a110100 very hard but try old masters gell stain. Analine dyes work as well. Mohawk has a very good line of professional products. Next time you are staining try Old Masters, is is far above that home depot crap. Sanding pine for stain you want to finish down to a very fine paper grit like 220 or even 300 range. This keeps the stain penetration even. 120 leaves the wood pores more open and staining can be harder.

I find beauty in Mesquite, Bradford Pear, Oak, Hickory, Black Walnut, etc. Like you show the natural beauty of hardwood lifts the soul. I really appreciate your work and what you are giving back to the community. Hoped and prayed for even a slight break in the clouds for the eclipse today.

It's only going to be another 300 years before a total solar eclipse will be seen in Dallas. Have you tried sawing a Bradford Pear. It is unique in the at the Cambrian layer and inward it is curly. When cutting boards from the bark to the center it looks like tiger stripe maple. Pear is soft until it is dried and becomes very smooth and light in color and can be easily finished and oiled to make maple and other hardwoods look cheap. You are specially blessed and will continue to find greatness. Sorry to take up so much space, 86 yr old who just celebrated 65th Anniversary last week. Ride High!

Try this also. If someone has small straight Basswood logs, you can peel the bark, and make some cool looking logs, that don't split all over the place. I believe it's soft enough, that the wood cells distort, instead of the bond between cells, so it has a tendency to have minor faults in the round. The only problem is it doesn't have a beautiful grain, and it will rot quickly if exposed to the elements. I have some giant pieces of Basswood, or Linden.

Thanks for a great video. You give an excellent presentation. I especially appreciate your showing the difference in ways of showing wood. I started my life as a woodworker in the late '60s, working for my grandfather. Back then, we wrapped sandpaper around a block of wood. So sanding a walnut dining table was an all day task. But it had advantages. The table surface ended up perfectly flat (if you wanted that). But what I liked most about it is you get to slowly see the features of the wood appear before your eyes. Walnut, especially, has so much in natural, subtle colors and shades. I've had a hard time understanding why woodworkers often complain about sanding. I'll continue to watch your videos.

Im 100% in full agreement, but one thing I remember when I first started is I had this weird thought that I wanted to use cheap wood because I thought I would ruin the project. So if I messed up it wasn't a big loss since it's "just pine". Once I had a little co confidence I started using hard wood. Great job as always.

But when i got there and asked how the process works they gave me a tour of their lumber yard and a comprehensive list of all the prices and species they carry and then they brought over the stack of cherry and let me rifle through it pick out the boards i liked. They even cut the boards down to size to fit in my car. (Went to the one in South Austin). Great experience (they also sell better grades of plywood than the big box stores)

UK native here, I am flattered by the extra credit you give us. I can say I certainly don't deserve it. but I can tell you from my opinion, you really don't need to worry. I typically don't think at all about somebodies accent in any media, I am always thinking about the whats, whys and hows. what they are physically doing goes such a long way in my mind. there's tons of filmed projects out there where not a single word is spoken, but the work created sings one hell of a story in itself. that also goes the same with any media where somebody has taken the time to break down their work and explain as they go. especially fun when there's more of a human element when people show their mistakes and more importantly how they got over or around them. even, how they would approach it differently the next time I think it helps sometimes to think, there's billions of people on this earth. millions of woodworkers, and even less of those film it, let alone present it in an interesting and engaging way. so after all that there's only one of you, making this project, making this video. that I am sure tons of people will see, forever. that takes balls most physical creators don't have (I know I don't, at least yet) and that part, is where I see intelligence more than in someones accent. its the picture they paint, and the people they teach. that's going to live forever, and that's kinda the whole point right? leave things better for whoever is next.

I guess I'll start with "mit". I have a question, although I don't know if you read the comments. I'm a wood newbie and although handy, am lacking in wood knowledge. I made a table a while back using a 4x8 sheet plywood and glued a layer of 1/4" mdf on top. The legs I made out of construction grade 2x4s that I spent ages picking the best and straightest, doubling them up and using heavy duty screws to hold them together in an X pattern under the table. It looked fantastic and I sanded, smoothed and prepped it for paint. Before I could buy the paint I noticed a wobble.... the table was no longer square. The boards were warping I didn't know what to do with it. It sits as an eye sore in my basement now as a reminder of "I don't know what I'm doing with woodworking". Anyway... the question... for the legs, what would be the recommended materials that won't warp? There's 2 main legs at either end like upside-down "T" and then cross braces. I see now from this video the mistake of using the construction grade 2x4s.

Actually that is incorrect. Every speaking style changes over time. The modern British speak is not the same as it was pre Revolutionary War. There are many linguists that have solid theories as to how most modern Brit’s speak in a way far from the time of the colonies and that Americans and Canadians speech sound more similar to the time of the colonies. The problem is that every speaking style changes and no one has a recording to the original speaking style. We all have accents and when you are in a country of similar sounding people, you have the accent. When I was in Ireland, Australia, England, Germany, Spain and Greece, my English was with and American accent, because I was the foreigner.

My favourite wood from what you used is the Oak. My grandfather was an architect, and made furniture as a hobby. His preferred wood was oak, and our cottage is full of that light coloured oak furniture. Tables, chairs, lamps, book cases. He had no trouble getting piles of the stuff back in the 50's and 60's. His shop had a huge table saw with a 10" blade and gigantic electric motor, a lathe, a huge table router, a jointer and a drill press. Strangely I don't think he ever had a thickness plainer. He also liked the oak for carving. It would allow detail and not crack or chip off. He would hand carve relief details into the furniture, something we never see anyone do today. Seeing that beautiful table and oak grain really brings back memories.

My dad used to mill his own lumber when I was a kid. He helped a local cattle farmer a couple times a year with ear tagging and other things and in exchange he got to hunt on the farmer's 1000ac property, and also take off fallen trees. Dad knew a different guy 45min in the other direction that had a lumber mill that he got to use for free so I have a lot of childhood memories playing around outside while dad loaded up fallen trees milled them, plus all the time in the truck driving back and forth. I loved it though. All that being said, milling your own lumber is a lot of fun and very satisfying but it is down right painful having to wait on it to cure for a couple of years. I would love to buy a second property that is heavily wooded so I could slowly mill down some lumber over the years

Hello Mitt, first time I've watched one of your videos. I was born in Minnesota, and honestly, I would never guess that you are a Texan. American accents are disappearing fast as we learn to speak from watching videos on our phones, is my opinion. I guess a better way to say it would be that our accents are homologating. In my youth, I spent some time working with habitat for humanity in the eastern coal country and at that time I was astonished by the way they spoke, same with nearly all of the road trips we used to take as a family when I was young. But of course, that was before even the dawn of dial up online internet for the masses. All that aside, walnut is such a joy to work with, and look at. And if I could manage it, I would never enter a home depot again in my life, but there are reasons to go there despite all evidence to the contrary, gosh darn it.

It has been thirty years, but I redid a formal "living room" into a study with raised paneling in European Ash, including some 9-ft bookcases, and all of the veneered plywood was from Plywood Company of Fort Worth. It was and remains the place that I will go to if I need to buy sheet goods. There is (or was, at least, I am not the continual woodworker) a great spot in Dallas for hardwood lumber, Hardwood Lumber Company. My projects were fancy chess boards as gifts and some cabinet facings, but they have a bunch of nice lumber at prices lower than the big boxes. (But you have to mill it - they offer the service to get to S4S, but the price delta from the big box gets thinner.) Overall, it looks like you did good! And welcome to DFW! (Lewisville, here.)
