Hi Working Man, What amazes me about fine handcrafted work, is your level of patience. Some joints are amazing. Fine joinery was borne out of non-existence of metal fasteners for many centuries. Speaking of "open time", we can't use Titebond ll in Arizona summers, it dries in seconds. Rush Rules. Recently listening to The Offspring. Movies...T1 and T2 both excellent entertainment, I worked in North Hollywood/Toluca Lake where much of the filming was done, so i recognized much of the background. (Surrounds Universal Studios).

@MikeFarrington

5 жыл бұрын

They call me the Working Man. It does take patience, no question. Thats one of things I have learned over the years. It has taken me many projects to develop patience. Rush is great, The Offspring is pretty cool too. I grew up in Orange County, so I am somewhat familiar with the surroundings of the Terminator movies as well.

Come for the woodworking and stay for the humor... another great one in the books

When people say "biscuits are for alignment" I don't think they are implying that they don't provide any strength, just that generally speaking when you use biscuits (making panels), they don't add any practical strength because glue is already very strong. The idea being that many newbies seem to think if you don't put some mechanical helpers inside the joint it won't be strong, so it's important to clarify that the purpose of biscuits in that case is just to help you align, not because you *need* biscuits for it to be strong. I agree with you they are plenty strong though

@MikeFarrington

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you Chris. I think you are correct in general, but I have heard a few say they add no strength to a joint such as a face frame, which is of course hogwash.

@chrisjohnson6482

Mike, I just got done watching your entire catalog of videos. I must say the one thing I hate about your channel is that you don't have more videos. Your work is impeccable. It is an inspiration to watch your work technique because it reminds me that I should always slow down and take my time. The results always turn out better that way. Also, I laugh whenever you say "do you guys think that I should do a video on..." Because the answer is yes. Always do a video on that, whatever that is. Congratulations on all of your successes, keep up the GREAT work, and for the love of god, please make more videos! (There must be some KZread algorithm that applies downvotes to videos. I don't understand why anyone would not like yours)

As always mike , great job ., so I have a customer who had a 150+ year old door that already had a mortised lock in it . I have an old house that I bought and am almost done remodeling it now but when I did I found a great antique mortised exterior door/lock set . So my customers door handle was all sorts of messed up . They had no lock cylinder in it , previous owners had put this cheap apartment lock. On it and another regular deadbolt lock from a modern lock set . So I showed her mi lock and she loved it and wanted me to fix the door and use my lock set for it , no problem easy 100 bucks on the lock, problem was her lock set mortised part I’d much longer than mine and the holes weren’t the same , which is fine also so I removed all of the old hardware and used the Dutchman method to cover all of the previous deadbolt holes and existing holes from her old set , mortised the spots I was using the Dutchman,got everything all glued back together and planed down and sanded , pi us d a filler block in the old mortise to make up the space to make mine work , a stalled the handle I sold her and everything looked great , last step was to ( I know ur going to be like WHAT ) bond-o all of the old nail holes and some of the rails were separated but solid so just fill all of those sand it out and paint , ( she is painting it , it’s mad of fir and painting would look soo much better , ain’t no bringing it back to lof unless she spent real money on it but she had a budget of 500 ) well I got the new lock I sold her all looking good shut the door , lol I accidentally had it on backwards lol and theses are all special holes drilled in the door where each component attached to the lock set ... so tomorrow it’s back to re mortise out the door where I already added the Dutchman and keep it moving . So I say that to say this . Shit happens lmao . Most people would have screamed or something but I felt silly and it’s no big deal it can be fixed , I normally didn’t have th patients for this but honestly from watching your vids it has slowed me down quite a bit . Because when you take your time , even if u make a mistake , the project will come out perfect . And there is no better feeling than overcoming an obstacle . Maybe I just needed to get that out . I feel better . Great vid , I feel like biscuits do add strength , your essentially fusing the wood together , how can’t it be stronger ? Why no kumiko , how did you come up with your verdict on not using it , it still came out sweet
