It would be an absolute pleasure to work with these two.

Am I the only one that was super impressed that that MDF strip they're using as a ledger board for the stretchers actually managed to hold the weight of everything? I did not realize how strong MDF could be.

Who in the heck is “disliking” this video? Norm and Tom are masters of their craft, hard workers, humble teachers, and nice guys to boot. Before television (and then KZread), you’d never be able to watch and learn from these folks. What a wonderful time to be alive.

How do you make the actual cabinets though? Did I miss that. They just cut to the whole structure being built. Is it just mdf shelved brad nailed to an mdf box? That seems pretty weak

Norm and Tommy: a lifetime's worth of combined experience and knowledge. Man, I wish they could build me a house based on just their preferences. I don't care, I'd trust them.

Stand the board where it's due to go, place a ruler horizontally up against the board, with the ruler's lower edge following the floor angle. Scribe a line on the board, following along the top of the ruler. That should reflect the angle you need to cut the lower board to.

Wonderful job guys.

Love it!! These guys are masters at their craft

wow, to be able to learn from them.. .what an honor it would be!

Amazing work! It looks so easy but there's a strong skill set that goes along with it. Tommy does an amazing job on any project!!

Couple old school guys making some great projects. I build cabinetry full time and I can’t imagine doing all that work on site, but that’s how the old boys always did it I guess.

Norm mentions a "hand plane" that he uses to finish the hard to get to edge on the 2 by 2 that the rail is in the way for. What is that? It actually looks like a finger plane it's so small.

Why change router bits when you have two router tables (shapers)!

Why would they not round the edges with the router before assembling it? Genuinely asking, not sure if the full episode explained why

@MixingGBP

2 жыл бұрын

Tommy said he originally wanted sharp lines on those legs, then after seeing it put together he decided on the rounded edges. Yes, if you want round edges, you would do those before adding the rest of the support structure. You would also want to sand to your final grit before adding those structural pieces. It would be more difficult if you didn’t, with lesser chance to ding the project.

why not route the legs first so dont have to use the small hand planer tool?

It would be nice to have videos specifically for scribing and other techniques for cabinets and built in projects. That's the kind of stuff that messes me up.

Well, you can kind of see those back corners when you look at the flooring. The legs have nothing else around them, so you can see a little bit of those back corners. I would have rounded the corners before attaching the structural pieces, but Tommy explained why he didn’t do it beforehand.

I would use glue on those joints along with the pocket screws personally. I’m still trying to comprehend how the whole thing is held to the wall with what looks like a few #10x3” screws in that MDF stringer under the bench top. They didn’t talk about how the case and shelves were attached to the wall so I’m assuming most of the weight is sitting on the bench top.

@MixingGBP

I am for my mudroom bench build. For stability mainly. I used solid red oak lumber on a previous mudroom bench. Looked awesome…until winter hit. The red oak ended up splitting along the grain right down the middle because I over constrained it with too much glue. My first build and my fault. Plywood is more forgiving for new builders and can look just as good as solid lumber. There is no growth and shrinkage to worry about.

Where is the "how to" part??? Dislike. Report for misleading.

Great job
