I watched your entire video from start to finish. Learned a lot. Admired your skills as a woodworker and as a video producer. As I began to feel worthless as a human being I remembered your title that said it took years to learn your skills. That gave me hope as a beginner woodworker. Thank you!

Yes, it takes a long time to learn this on your own! That's why I put a lot of these things into my videos to help newer woodworkers learn it faster and start to make better projects!

As a computer programmer, I have long known to continue breaking down large problems into smaller manageable tasks and steps. Yet I failed to apply this to my woodworking, so I very often limited myself to smaller projects where I could hold the entire task in my mind. I have started analyzing and planning wood projects as I do programming projects, and now have complete confidence in taking on bigger projects. With every step written down, I always know what to do next, and can schedule subtasks as I have the time or materials ready.

@@biscuittreewoodworks do you have a sketchup of this project, by any chance? I'm going to try to build one like this as my first furniture piece. (I've done a few plywood cabinets, but nothing from wood yet.) I really like the simple but elegant feel of this, and after looking at many dozens of other, similar designs on Google ("Shaker dresser"), this one is still my favorite. Thank you, in any case.

Your teaching style made this vid along with strong attention to detail and point outs.

The mark of an experienced woodworker is in addressing and hiding mistakes....

@biscuittreewoodworks

Ай бұрын

Very true, but sometimes I would really like to be better at not making those mistakes!

When using caul clamps or just plain cauls, I _always_ put nonstick (paper that will not stick to glue) to prevent the cauls or clamps from sticking to the wood panel (or whatever). This is a big time saver: no messy dried glue on my cauls / clamps to clean. Great video...

I love your work and your down-to-earth style. Your practical tips are always super helpful, thank you! I restore antique furniture. When determining whether or not a piece can be repaired, reversible glue joints (made with hide glue) are often the deciding factor. Your beautiful work is going to mean a lot to your kids & grandkids. If way down the road they want to repair or restore a piece to its original glory, those epoxy joints are going to limit the possibilities. And the quality of your work IS going to last generations, I guarantee it. NOTHING is more stressful than a hot hide-glue clamp up, I totally get it. But I would love to see you teach the world how to do them. Thanks again for all your excellent content - you seem like a lovely person.
