Absolutely. Maybe at some point we can do a sponsorship or something.

Wow, dude. Great execution. I love watching your professionalism while you execute your commissions. The fact that you make your drawer boxes out of solid material is a great indicator, and from experience I know just how much better the drawers turn out (structurally AND aesthetically). I always have to keep telling myself during your videos, "It's the customer's requirement, ignore the finish." Makes my eye twitch a bit to bury nice maple under paint, but... customer, right? Question: I've looked around at my local big box places and some specialty stores, but they don't seem to carry Codys... did you have to source your Cody online?

Haha thanks man. The drawers really do come out nice with solid maple. I totally get what you mean about the finish. Us woodworkers have a different appreciation for the wood itself. Although, as time progresses, I'm beginning to realize that it's all art and art is art. If the customer is happy then we are in business. P.S. Cody is actually AI. Just ask chat gpt and you can get one.....Thanks for Watching!!

Infinity makes an 8” by 1/4” flat bottom grind blade ! I rarely use a dado stack or as I say “ DD” dangerous Dado Stack! I make my drawers and all dados up to 3/4 “ ( more than that the DD goes on and a cup) ?

So it looks like you dado the face frame 1/4” deep by 3/4” wide to fit onto the face frame?

I dado 3/16 deep so that the pockethole screws have more to bite into. And the widths range from 1/2 to 3/4 depending on which panel is being connected

@FortressFineWoodworks

If I have 75% 1/2" then I will just leave the dado stack at 1/2 and double cut for any of the 3/4 cuts. If it's 50% of each, I will switch the stack

@danielrybin2006

@@FortressFineWoodworks no what I mean is we all know that 1/2” ply is not actually 0.5000” and that even between different manufacturers the widths will vary a bit. So how precise do you make your dado? Do you adjust the stack to be a tight fit to the plywood in hand each time (assuming slight variations)?

@FortressFineWoodworks

10 ай бұрын

That makes sense. I make it loose by about 1/32 or 1 mm . So it usually works to make the dado exactly 1/2 since the ply is slightly under

Cody...pay attention and learn from the Master! Oh yeah, and don't be late for work as your samiches will disappear and you will have only chips to eat. Might think about bringing your own TP and hiding it, too!

Sorry but this is a bad job. What is this ridiculous frame and that weird hinges for? It is ugly and not practical at all. 2nd, silicone? Really? On wood???. 3. And you never center the handles for the lower drawers. In your case only the top drawer handle is centered. The middle and bottom drawer the handle has to be up. The same distance to the top edge like your top drawer....

I really appreciate your insight. Those are great ideas. I didn't think about off centering the lower drawer pulls. Thanks for watching and I hope to hear from you again!
