Beautiful work, great craftsmanship. It’s so nice to learn from you, I think partly because you don’t come across as a ‘know it all’. Thank you sir

It is nice to see the extra step, and the buyer will notice.

Hope you do more videos like this one. Loved it! Entertaining but instructive. Thanks!

Wow, that's beautifully done! So much attention to detail!

I just wish I could ``click`` the like button twice...awesome work man.

I doubt that I will ever put that much effort into a drawer bottom. I will however take the time to watch the whole video just to hear “keep it to yourself pal”

Thanks for this, was a great way to spend coffee time on a Saturday morning. Always enjoy your videos :)

Nice fit , enjoying your videos , thanks for sharing.😊

Wonderful work. ….. nice Phish reference

I subbed your channel because I'm a power tool dude expanding into hand tool work. Like someone below said, I'm forcing myself to plane left and right handed (I'm a righty), but I've also found that you can spin the plane 180 degrees and pull it like a Japanese plane... assuming your setup is good, blade sharp, etc. Not great for aggressive plane cuts, but does work very well on small pieces.

You made the lesson fun. Good pacing. In my plywood phase I added glued a panel into a drawer bottom create the rabbets and stiffen up the bottom. Shop projects but used daily.

Thanks for this detailed view of how to raise a drawer bottom. This answers so many questions I’ve always had about this process. I really like that you did the rabbet to fit into the dado. I know that’s not traditional, but the OCD in me really likes it! IMHO, it really makes a nice fit. I’m aware no one will probably appreciate that little touch, but I think I’ll be incorporating that in my future projects. Thanks again!! :)

Great video! Love the content.

Thank you for sharing 🥰🥰

Great clip thy.

Masterclass again R.C. Thanks!

I need to get one of those center finding rulers!

Wow, lovely work. Great detailing tips. Cheers.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

I always learn something new while watching your videos! Thank you.

Nice work and good demonstration. Not quite sure why you chose walnut for a drawer bottom; don't recall ever seeing that before!

It's what I had a lot of.

Another great video. Learned a lot as usual. Question for you: I often see you setting your planes down on your bench using a shim to keep the toe elevated. What does that gain you?

Some woodworkers think you shouldn't put your hand planes directly on the bench top for fear of dulling the blade. I'm skeptical of that, and I know how to sharpen, but I do it anyway so I don't mark up my bench top so much. 😄

Another great video! I like that apron too - it’s like my nail apron, but full torso. Can I ask where you acquired it?

Texas Heritage Woodworks. I did a whole video on it if you're curious.

Nice video. Informative and entertaining. I taught myself to use the plane left or right handed (better with right). It overcomes grain direction mostly. None of what you did is overkill. It's called professional. How thick is that board?

I'm not home to measure but I think it's 15-16mm.

*just a comment for robots. When planing along the grain, one can work in comfortable position and switch to awkward one just for a last few passes with a smoothing plane.

Is there a pactical reason to do a raised panel rather than only a rabbet all around?

Not that I can think of. It's more of an aesthetics thing. If all that matters is the bottom not sagging, just rabbeting would obviously save a bit of time.

@@gharel396 Assuming weight reduction isn't a factor, I'd guess that this approach would be more accessible to someone with only hand planes, since you could (in theory) plane down to a line such that the rabbet isn't necessary but the groove still is snug on the panel... maybe? Or, it looks cool to some people?

Why but for aesthetic reason making a bevel if you cut rebate anyway ? Beautiful drawer anyway 👍
