Really looking excellent - well done Matt! Those diamonds sort of put me in mind of the really old barns which had small shapes cut through the walls for the owls to fly in and out of... your swoopy-bird-wing shape above emphasises that (in my weird mind anyhow!)

Love the grain and ray fleck - and really enjoy the process. Just finished white oak cabinets in the kitchen, and made them like furniture. Turned out great - especially the multi-layers of finish. 3 coats of color, and 5 coats of clear give it that 'flop' depth. So much fun to walk past them in the kitchen, and see the grain 'change'. Waiting on the final - long process, but so worth it!

Awesome work Matt, the leg looks great and the grain pattern combined with the diamond cutouts looks amazing! 😍👍🏼👊🏼

@MikeC19100 3 ай бұрын

The grain pattern really looks interesting, and it goes well with the diamond pattern. It's funny, that when you were first assembling the legs and rails I thought that that's a lot of chunky pieces (chunky in a good way) and then when you stood the assembled pieces up you said, "it's chunky", which made me smile. The grain on the center panels really gives it a lot of character too. Once again, very nice work and it is always interesting to hear your thought process throughout the wood selection and build process.

@mrpesky163 3 ай бұрын

You took the diamonds pattern that initially to me looked a bit cheesy/cold in the design drawing and made it come alive in an artistic sense with the beauty in the wood grain. Beautiful!

@erinmoore9681 3 ай бұрын

What’s interesting from my perspective is seeing how a woodworker selects grain orientation. For so many years I’ve seen ‘less rustic” grain orientation with an emphasis on hiding knots. You celebrated them here, and I am pleased with how it turned out. Great job. It’s a tree!

Matt. As always, you made part of my Sunday better with your video. You are one lucky dog to be able to go to the woodpile and pick the parts of the tree you want to use.

I didn't even think of making a comment on how you visualize grain structure in your last video, but I can see how it makes the overall piece have a uniformity. I'm usually constrained by whatever wood the store has... Maybe why I seem to be a fan of knotty pine for some variety? On a side note... I can't wait to see what toys your kids hang from the diamond holes! 🤣

@MaddHatter 3 ай бұрын

One thing I am curious about is when you choose to use what tool and why. It seems to be when you are rip cutting with large stock you prefer the band saw, even with 1 face jointed. But for final dimensions you use the table saw. It also seems like when cross cutting you usually use the big circular saw, but in this video you used a jig saw. My guess is that is because the jigsaw was within reach.

The contrast of the wood grains, the cove legs and cutouts are really superb. I think you should archive this whole remodel 'thing' and put it a corner stone type capsule where the owner 100 years from now can see your work. Where'd you get the magnet type spacer blocks? Oh, welcome back.

Amazing how dry it is there...where I live in Coadtal NSW, Australia, average humidity for most of the year is around 70%, slightly higher in late summer, up to 80%, slightly lower in early winter, about 65%, but it never gets lower than about 40%, year round, and often gets up to 98%...so pretty muggy!! That means, for us, 12% is actually dry timber 😊

Lay the mortiser on its side to remove the base. No need to juggle parts. The only thing you need to handle is the base. Get someone to hold the riser and start the screws. Once the parts are snugged in, you can finish tightening the bolts. Round up the kids for some forced labor for 5 minutes.
