That’s a just wrong the top will expand and contract across its width. Screwing it to the frame is bad construction. Not just Alder all woods need this consideration. The color looks awful . Alder doesn’t stain well. But Looks great natural.

WOW - this is so amazing. I build guitars - and I'm always looking for new ways to design and finish them. The 'new thing' now is for guitars to be sandblasted - to get the ' ceruse finish' - and to achieve this - obviously I had to buy a sandblaster and all the associated accessories. I'm SOO glad I found this video. Now it appears I can achieve essentially the same result - MUCH more easily. Thank you so much for uploading this. Fantastic technique - can't wait to try it myself. You have a new subscriber! Thanks so much. Cheers.

Maybe a small routered groove between the squares would be better than the large chamfered gap. I like to slide pieces when I play & I'm not sure about the playability of this board. Looks like the pieces would catch or hang up in the wide groove. Board does look beautiful and is a top quality build though, just not sure about it being very practical.

That Alder is really grey! Here on the west coast we always use Red Alder, and I have never seen any other variants. That grain is unmistakably Alder though. Really a nice wood to work with. It sands/machines/glues really well. Sorta soft but thats OK. The real bear was getting a blotch free stain finish. 10 years ago Alder was really really popular here in new homes, and "older" carpenters couldnt believe it when they heard we were building custom homes/kitchens/doors out of Alder because it used to be the wood of choice for pallets. So they thought it was garbage.

I really enjoy your videos, Wes. One of these days, I'm going to try a solid table or counter top ... don't have the 'guts' yet.🤣 One question for you ... this is the second time I have seen you use that electric sprayer. Are you really satisfied with its performance and is it REALLY easy to clean up after use? I want to get into spraying finishes on my work and don't want to mess with air. Thanks ahead of time for any counsel on this. Marty

Hi Teacher Wes. Would you explain how you elongated the screw holes? I understand the principle but not the technique. Thanks again for all your advice and help. ✌🏽🙏🏽
@lainielooentertainment2 күн бұрын
I have a quick question. I realize that the frame is underneath and won't really be seen but is there a reason that you didn't invert it so that the pocket holes would be up against the bottom of the solid wood top and, as a result, would then be completely hidden?

@lainielooentertainment2 күн бұрын
@@truckguy6666 if you look at my question, I acknowledged that it wouldn't be seen. However, since it would have been just as easy to invert it, I was wondering what the rationale was for not doing so. In other words, trying to learn something.

He could have flipped it either way. I probably would have put the pocket hole side against the top. But I thinks it’s just a matter of preference.

Hi Wes, great video. On all of my panels I stain and finish all sides before assembly to minimize any possible stability issues. I really appreciate that you demonstrate most techniques with average shop tools showing us all that high quality work depends on quality workmanship and knowledge as much as anything. Sure the fancy tools do save a lot of time if you’re needing to go fast, but it’s not always a requirement. A question for you sir: when I utilize my thickness planer to clean up panels after glue up, I’ve found that my surface is very crisp and I can go straight to 120 or 150 grit sanding depending on the medium. So far it seems to be very effective and saves the effort. Am I missing something by not going to 80 grit first always?

I enjoyed the video, however, I am curious as to why you didn't "spray" just the "white" onto the other side of the door? I believe I wouldn't want the golden oak to be shown off when opening my new cabinets. Could be personal preference. I have been thinking about eliminating my "golden oak" kitchen cabinets, too :) Thanks for the assist.

I love the result and how clear you are. One issue is that, especially beginners, should not be holding wood when routing. It's too easy to slip and do damage. Clamp them down, vise them down.

Hi Wes! Do you think I could use this All-In-One paint as the base coat for your cerusing technique? I watched your videos where you used the ProCoat Hardwax Uroil as a glaze. Do you think those two products would work together and not require a polyurethane topcoat for kitchen cabinets? Over the last few months I have watched all the videos you have put out about cerusing oak cabinets. Thank you for the wealth of information you have shared. I'm hoping to tackle refinishing my kitchen cabinets this spring!

That is how a cabinet shop sets up a table saw. I have two saws as a saw set up like yours isn't the best way for small work as you have to move around the saw putting some moves out of reach. The saw set up like your saves a lot of time on larger work.

I like the warm honey tones of the natural grain of many beautiful woods. Darker woods with minimal stains to bring out the grain. You can stain or paint the lesser woods and they to can be enhanced.
