Beautiful workmanship. Picked up some good intel throughout this build, though surprised you domino'd instead of dovetailing those stringers. Thank you for sharing with all of us!

@@branchandfoundry560 Agreed 1000%. I had every intention of dovetailing the stringers until I accidentally cut them short by .25” each. 🙄🙄. That was enough to make the tails way too small for stability. It was one of those moments where you just stop and stare at your mistake for like 10 minutes. I could have remade them but I would have had to use stock I was saving for the drawer fronts. It was a hard lesson learned. One of many on this build!!

Beautiful piece! You've provided several tips whether you know it or not on Dovetails I can't wait to try. I'm about to start a blanket/toy box in mahogany. Where do you source your wood? It looks lie good quality wood. Especially would like to know where you get your quarter sawn sycamore.
@RPBasilio3 күн бұрын
@@rjrotermund that’s great! Always happy to hear the video was helpful. Just about everything I have learned with dovetails came from watching others on KZfaq. It’s an incredible source! Most of my wood (especially the figured wood) comes from Hearns Hardwood in Oxford PA. Everything else, including the sycamore, comes from MSW hardwood in Sellersville PA. He’s got a good selection of the quarter-sawn stuff

@RPBasilio14 күн бұрын
Typically I do. I have yet to do dovetails where they all come out perfect. I have a feeling I will be chasing this for a very long time. When I fix gaps, I go with the old stand-by approach of wood glue and sawdust. However, for darker woods, hide glue works even better. Thankfully it’s small enough where the finish is not impacted
