On this episode I build a TV Stand / Media Console based on an Credenza I had built on the channel about 2 years ago...the Bad Larry. For this build I had help from a friend and fellow KZreadr, Shaun Boyd from Shaun Boyd Made This. He showed me a few new methods for using templates to make pieces, and using some fancy drawer hardware.

I am finding this hilarious because this video is the culmination of my day. I have been listening to you, Mike, and Ben all day on the Modern Maker Podcast. I started working on my square space website and put credenza on one of the links because it is the word that popped in my head while playing around with the site. First link on youtube when I look up credenza is yours! Next video is Mike's! Just wow.
Hello, I worked in a furniture factory and your videos remind me of the perfection in which they asked us for each job. Your videos are excellent and your work is wonderful, greetings 🇲🇽
Brilliant piece. Completely agree re: golden triangle and 'rules'. I really appreciate your explanations about cutting pieces close but too big and cutting down to 'fit'.
In the next 2-3 years I will be starting a class, buying the tools and converting my garage. I am a designer and have designed furniture and bars for others in the past but I want to build for and by myself now. Thanks for your vids. Absolutely love your style.
This video leaves no doubt in my mind that you make by far the most well explained woodworking videos on KZread.

Lay the top and bottom panels next to each other with the smaller bottom panel centered on the larger, clamp them together and then cut your dados across both of them at the same time.
Awe sweet partner love. You guys do this so well, from an editing, narration, and storytelling standpoint. I can't speak about the woodworking but it looks very sound to my untrained eyes and the pieces reflect that too. I know this is an old video but it's been neat to find your channel the other day and work backwords.
Wonderfully done. I've watched this a few times. Very nice video and narrating.

The jigs Blum makes are great, a little spendy but makes the clip install easy and that hole in the back fool proof. One cabinet job for someone selling their work and it pays for itself easily. Also, the notches on the back are super easy on a band saw prior to assembly, just personal preference.

i'm not an engineer either, but the force down on the ends of the "long" legs does not push the centre up (or in). but because it is a lever the effect is reduced.

In regards to your base, equal and opposite forces are definitely not being applied between the two upper contact points of each of the legs. The only force present through those two upper contact points is the weight pressing down on the base, due to gravity. That force is counteracted by the normal force, which is transmitted through the only portion of the base touching the ground. Since the lower and upper contact points through which force is being transmitted do not line up, that portion contacting the floor essentially becomes the fulcrum point about which the downward force / weight is applied. With both upper contact points, through which that weight is transferred, existing on the same side of that fulcrum, they are both are acting to apply torque (a twisting force) about that fulcrum in the same direction - i.e., they are not counteracting each other.
@Foureyes.Furniture
5 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the thorough explanation. Some others have said basically the same. So I guess it works just because the weight is distributed along enough area that it isn’t too much of a load. I can say... a fairly light amount of weight focused on the center joint will break it loose. I know this because Shaun tester with his foot 😊
@logdroppersavant3683
5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I did a quick Ctrl+F for 'force' hoping that it would have already been mentioned, but I didn't scroll through to load up a bunch of the older comments. It has more to due with the distribution of load along that fulcrum, more so than the area through which the load is distributed (assuming that you're talking about the horizontal area of contact through which the downward force is distributed, rather than the vertical area of the joint, which does have a significant impact, insofar as it provides the surface area through which the adhesive works, in which case, the greater the surface area, the greater the resultant bond). The upper area of contact towards the center of the legs will require the least amount of force applied along the fulcrum to create a given amount of torque (which is the twisting force that is essentially trying to rip apart the joint). Conversely, given that same amount of force, the upper area of contact farther away from the center (i.e., closer towards the portion of the base touching the ground) will result in a significantly reduced amount of torque (i.e., there is less twisting force trying to rip apart the joint). Therefore, by also including the second upper area of contact closer to the portion of the legs that touches the floor, you are reducing the amount of force that the joint through which the adhesive must act essentially sees. Put another way, the downward force of the weight applied at the center of the legs is like holding a torque wrench at the handle (like a normal person), which results in force multiplication. Whereas the downward force of the weight applied closer to the portion of the legs that touches the floor is like choking up on a torque wrench and holding it nearer towards the head (like a fcuken serial killer). The same amount of force applied by your hand on to the wrench in each scenario would result in two very different force outputs - one high, one low. In the case of your legs, it would be as if you've taken that same amount of force and distributed it between the two methods simultaneously, resulting in a torque somewhere in between. Perhaps, during your mental calculations on how the forces would interact, there was some assumptions that subconsciously crept in about the points of contact between the legs and the floor being basically static, almost as if, for example, the legs were screwed down to a sheet of plywood. In that case, yes, the downward force would then be directed in towards the joint, pushing them together (as well as trying to pull out the screws from the plywood). However, in this case, the legs are static only insofar as the friction of the contact patch between the legs and the floor can withstand the resultant forces from the weight applied along the fulcrum, which is much more easily overcome (as to become basically negligible) compared to being screwed down.
I’ve made a few drawer boxes and found that it’s easier to just rip the back side all the way through when cutting the slot for the 1/4”. Saves time cutting the fancy notch out, and no one will ever see it. Unless, they watch your video. :)

About the forces on the support, think about the points about which the beams try to rotate, when a force is applied on each of short support studs. I do believe the stand is plenty strong enough.

I've done that before. It works ok. But even if you end up 1/16" off and you're going for 1/16" gaps. You've just doubled your gap. It's one of those things that works in theory, but when you actually do it, little errors happen. I stand by the way I did it. because you can literally reference a known right angle as you finalize positioning.
