It's good to see experienced people can still make mistakes. Thanks for sharing and being honest, makes the videos worth it I think

The mistake, miss thought or what ever you name it, was the added valeu to this video. Not always process is straight forward! Thank you.

Great job Shara no need to apologize we all make mistakes thanks for your honesty. It turned out amazing can’t wait to see what you do next

What a really nice piece (even with these strange woodworking materials and techniques like oak, dowel joinery, and rabbets 😆). That thing you called a "Whoops" is what I call a normal, everyday occurrence in my shop... you recovered like a champ and that's all that matters. No one will ever know except you and a hundred thousand viewers. I really like the "Aged Barrel" stain and the little reveal at the bottom is a top-notch detail.

Great recovery Shara! Turned out beautiful! Thank you for posting, your the best!!

The “perfect fit” chanting of victory is so relatable XD ❤️

big fan, I love that even when you do a mistake you show it on here, all of us trap in that little details which is nice to see what you do about them, it was a nice one, cheers

OOOppsss... Happens to the best of us. Thank you for such a nice looking project. How an oops is handled is important as sometimes a solution isn't obvious to a novice like me. Have a wonderful weekend, hope the winds/storms have died out for a while. Until next time... Build safe.

I agree with you regarding red oak - for me, sometimes the grain can seem a little over bearing. But your choices of design and finish mitigated that here. And regarding your challenges with this build...thanks for keeping your videos real! Thumbs up!

Shara, I am so glad you kept your "struggle bus" times in. It is so very comforting to know you still have those moments too. I really like this cabinet build! The simplicity of the design while still keeping it classy is a huge winner. Another fantastic teaching video with a very doable build. Love it! Thanks

Hello Shara, I also hate using a router by hand so I built a router table and cabinet and now route rabbets and dados without the angst. I also now router the back of each piece separately before assembly and do not have to worry about chiseling out the corners for backing board. I also got caught with the European hinges thing and saw that you would not like the small strip for slides. Me, I left the smaller strip because I did not want to pull drawer out again and just glued small strips to case the same height as drawer. Your idea about mounting drawer knobs lower was a great idea. Also one more point about router table, I can setup and route my own trim pieces for cabinets and it makes it easier to make picture frames.

@WoodshopDiaries

Жыл бұрын

That sounds like a great set up with your router table! And also a great idea about adding small strips instead of removing and replacing the drawer spacer blocks. Thanks for sharing!

Nice design and concept. Very inspirational what you come up with. Could you have just replaced the existing cup hinges with Everbrite 165-degree full overlay hinges available at Home Depot? They also have the soft close feature. In the context to prevent the "reconstruction" of drawer box and additional filler pieces? Door would have swung wider giving more clearance for the drawer/door interface junction. Great demonstration of perseverance to overcome an oversight during the build process to get back on track. Thanks for another great build.

Thanks so much! I'm sure there may have been another hinge option, but I had these on hand and was trying to finish up as quickly as possible so I could get the video out--so I just used what I had on hand vs ordering and waiting for something else. In the future, I'll probably think ahead to order different hinges for a project like this before building. In my mind, I just swore that when I've installed overlay doors in the past, they completely cleared the opening when they swung out, but I just didn't bother to double check that was actually the case before getting started haha.

That turned out beautifully. And thank you for sharing your mistakes and showing how you fixed them. There is educational value in those as well. Looking forward to more of your projects.

There’s no “rule” as to when to use which. It’s just personal preference. In many cases when I’m using hardwood, I use dowels only because hardwood requires fine threaded pocket hole screws and I don’t usually keep them stocked in my shop and never want to drive to town to get any haha. But in some cases, I’ll use them in any kind of wood if it’s in a part of the project that the pocket hole would be visible if I used pocket holes. I’m any case where the pocket hole would be hidden or I’m using plywood or soft woods, pocket holes are my go to.

Blum sell 0 projection hinges for those purposes.
