This piece features some very rock-solid joinery, Andy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. Andy, just a thought: another option for making the dado jig, would have been your CNC rather than using your tablesaw. It would have also been somewhat safer. (Just an idea from another designer-maker who's now a converted hybrid-plus woodworker). That was a great idea you came up with for raising the height of the desk after it was completed!

Oh well done on the drill press as a shop press. Nice idea! You gotta use what you got around. I've used a semi truck air suspension to press bearings on a shaft before now. Buddy in the drivers seat with the controls and me at the back under the chassis cross rail. Worked like a charm. Whatever it takes, man. Well done

Dude, thank you! Just bought our 73 Airstream Ambassador, and the door would not open from the outside handle. Used this to take see what it's supposed to look like. Turned out to just need two pins put in the door handle, but went ahead, disassembled, and cleaned everything up.

Mr. Rawls- thanks again for an awesome video and walking through the tips and tricks for this gorgeous group of furniture. Curious- I heard you mention that you did some seal coating w/ Z SealCoat. What was the remainder of your finishing regimen? Asking because I am currently working on a cherry cabinet and love the way yours turned out. Thanks again!

Beautiful suite of furniture. I loved the "fix" on the desk, although I probably would have used ebony$$$ or walnut...but that would ruin the classic style. Depends are where you want to end up. I enjoy watching your craftsmanship; it inspires me to try a little harder and build a little better. Always waiting for the next video. God bless.

I want to start a builtin for our dining room. Mostly to hold books. Lots of books. I will be using frame and panel, like you did, with maple as it will be cheaper than ply! For the shelves, did you just attach them at the four corners on the stiles? I wasn't sure if I should make my side panels flush on the inside for more shelf support or just attach to the stiles.

I added a strip of solid cherry on the inside to flush it up with the legs.

Great video Andy, as usual. I love that you show interesting techniques and talk about how and why you do things rather than just going through the build from start to finish, it's a lot more interesting to me to see you explain and cut joinery rathen than watch you mill lumber for 5min at the beginning. Love how it turned out too, well done.

speaking of sketchy dados about 13 years ago I was doing the exact same thing except it was a thinner board with a wider dado, that thing grabbed and flew to the back of the room hit the cement wall and bounce back right at me busting my finger open. happened in a split second. Never underestimate the power of those blades once they grab into that wood. Also your tenons were tight because it was visibly noticeable you could see a gap under the end of the rails as they were going over the dado blade. just needed some downward pressure by the blade.
@AndyRawls4 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing that. This does happen alot when cutting tenons on the table saw, if you don't keep that downward pressure the tenon grows!

Great video Andy! I truly enjoy your craftsmanship and attention to detail. It’s not the mistakes that make a true master, but knowing how to correct them. I typically put your videos on in the back ground while I’m working in the wood shop, but this one I couldn’t put down! Great build as always, and thank you for your honesty at the end of the video. We all run into clients/jobs/commissions like that. Where we dismiss the importance of other people. Jesus never did that, and it should be a reminder to all of us to not dismiss the smallest, or little jobs/requests. Because sometimes that’s where we have the most growth. Keep it up brother!

Well I love a long video jam packed full of really in depth information on the reasons why you do things and how you execute them. I hope you'll take no notice of those people who are so lazy and lacking in intellectual curiosity that they cannot be bothered to watch a video longer than ten minutes. I thought your admission at the end there was very gracious and supremely honest, well done. I'm glad you did your best to accommodate that lovely couple's needs and that you appreciated how much there was to learn from them. You did a great job there Andy, thoroughly enjoyed the video.

That Oliver morticer has a very similar peddle layout to my old Wadkin LM. Maybe I'm just short, but I find the top position is too high to be comfortable for me. I've just made a little 4" high duckboard (sorry, not sure if that is an English term that doesn't translate well to the US) and that has made it infinitely more comfortable to use and far less tiring. Not sure if that helps at all.

They came out great. The only thing i'd change, is i'd add a HDPE foot plate so the wood's off the floor. They always end up chipping. Rarely do the owners have the presence of mind to raise the furniture and put feet caps when moving them.

It helps also to chamfer the bottom of table and chair legs, it makes it less difficult for the grain to catch and split.
