I love the fact that you showed the 1st glue up and then shared the lessons learned. Those of us that use these videos as much as instructional as well as entertainment can use that for our own learning and process improvements. Thanks Micahel, great video.

the glue up had me DYING! glad it happens to the greats too :)

Thanks for the glue-up scene! It made things real for me in a great way and an even bigger fan.

They look amazing. The attention to detail is just amazing.

Hey Michael! These came out great! Here's a thought for you. I pre-sand the interior of my projects before assembly. To keep them clean during glue ups, I use more blue tape along the edges. This is especially helpful on pen grain woods. I look forward to more of your videos!

Despite having watched several videos on the Shaper Origin, including yours, that machine is as close to real magic as I've ever seen.

It's so good to see the little issues you had with that first filmed glue up, that stuff always happens to me. It's just refreshing to see a video with bits like these included 👏👏👏

Great tip on taping around the gap to prevent wood filler from filling surrounding grain.

I would like to see you build a plywood gaming table. Ideally with a recessed play area using the aesthetic of the ply's in the table design. These tables are used for games and also serve as a dining table with many have rails for added features, cupholders, player desks or other game specific attachments. I have been planning a pentagon shaped table for this purpose but really any shape would be great to see what you do with it. These tables can be expensive because they are usually built out solid wood and plywood would be a great model to bring style and affordability.

@MichaelAlm

Thanks for this idea Kent! I could definitely see that working. So many games use hex tiles, and a lot of my patterns are based on that. I'll give it some more thought! Best of luck with your build!

I Will like to see some more pattern plywood ideas, because that's why I came on your channel

@MichaelAlm

3 жыл бұрын

More to come! I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon 👍

just a quick tip from a pro, next time you glue up mitres like these boxes, do not apply glue on the inside edge of the mitred saw cut, but stay about 4 mm away from the edge. that way you only have to deal with glue squeeze out at the outside parts of the mitres which is easily sanded and you don't have to deal with chiseling away glue residues on the inside of the boxes. 19 mm thick plywood has 26 mm mitred cut so no worries if you only glue a 22 mm wide glue strip, it will be plenty strong. I just made 15 mitred boxes a spared a lot of labour not having to deal with glue squeeze out.

Love the choose to use hardwood edge banding.

These are just beautiful, and your work is inspring as always. Liked and subscribed now... I'd love to see you do some speaker cabinets, maybe a custom build to replace some crappy MDF cabinets or something. The challenge there would be keeping the audio response where it should be, or maybe improving it. As an example, my mom is a real music buff, but hates her ugly black speaker boxes. I'd love to make her some cabinets that fit the decor of her living room, after watching YOU do it!

Those came out really nice. White oak was a great choice too. Might've been cool to add a bluetooth speaker to one of them, but I guess that's up to the customer. Great work. Oh and your first glue-up was like ALL my glue-ups! Ha ha.
