Keys! Free handing bow ties is wild, thats a bit over my abilities. I really like how you broke down each section of your process, you made this feel super approachable. I love how the final desk turned out too, excellent work as usual! You're easily in my top 5 youtube channels.

Awesome build as always. Great tip for butterfly keys is to bevel the underside edges so that it is easier to both seat initially in the mortise and also easier to drive all the way since it gives the glue a bit of space to squeeze into.
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks 21 күн бұрын
Thank you! Good point, I try to use a really light amount of glue for that very reason but chamfering the underside is a good idea.

Keys for me as well, which I think is the current trend in woodworking anyway, exposed dovetails, in your face joinery, etc... everywhere you look on IG, YT wherever, people are flaunting their build process in the final product. I bet there will be a swing the other way eventually, and people will start going more shaker and hiding dovetails behind moulding or what have you. anyhow, looks very clean and modern brother. Flexispot really is trying to get in on every YT channel they can these days. I hoope they paid you well though... you deserve it for the consistently quality content you put out. One question: Where do most of your pieces end up? are they commissions? or do you just build for the channel and then find places to put the pieces in your own house/give them to friends and family?
@TimberBiscuitWoodworks 21 күн бұрын
You're not wrong. I think exposed joinery is a lot of fun, too. I just like the hidden aspect on certain occasions. Most of the pieces I build are for myself, family, and friends. There are a few exceptions to that, but with the timelines I have to work with, building commissioned pieces isn't super practical.

I'm an amateur/hobbyist who is just getting into woodworking, so it's daunting and equally amazing to see such huge pieces being built while all I've really learned to do is make small boxes. But I hope I can make big pieces like yours with hand tools. I especially love the 45 degree chamfer on the forearm area in this piece. Gives me a few ideas.

Keys. But also no keys. I think with your situation, putting the key on the bottom and filling the small check on top makes sense. With something that has more and larger cracks, the keys can add to the aesthetics without being major players. With your desktop, the key would be a distraction.

Me either, but the butterfly locks the check in place with the cross grain placement and prevents further expansion. Epoxy would only fill the crack, so expansion would still be an issue.
