I’m Shane, I design and build modern furniture and other woodworking projects. The videos here focus on tips, tricks & how-tos, with a few dad jokes along the way.
Woodworking is my passion. I enjoy the hands-on approach that working with wood brings to the design world. I draw inspiration from many places, and I try my best to make elegant solutions to fill my needs. I am always learning to be a better craftsman and woodworker. This channel is designed to share my experiences and inspire others to join the craft.
I know that people are at different levels on their woodworking journey, so I try to tailor my content to help inspire both beginner and advanced woodworkers while having a fun at the same time. I hope to create a community of individuals who support makers and allow them to invest in themselves.
I hope you enjoy the content I share and that it gives you the confidence to go out and build something!

How does that grizzly planer do with snipe? Better than average?
Once I got it dialed in, it was awesome. I get very little to no snipe at all.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks awesome, thank you for the info, and the lighting fast response!
Not a problem, happy to help!
Nice collection of woodpecker tools , what wad your first ?
Thanks! I started with a few of the pocket rules and it took off from there.
Risky or Safe. LOL! Very nice. I had a laugh at about 19 minutes where you see the wagging dog tail on the left edge of the video.
Haha, he loves his shop dog days
Your tools look amazing. Your work is clean and meticulous. Applause
Thank you, glad you think so.
Beautiful work.
Thank you!
You lost me with your pompous math analogy. Only a handful of people will get this. « Great opportunity for me to use in my next video » 😅😅😅
Word
The quality, humor and education of woodworking videos these days is incredible. Love!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
At last a carpenter that uses a glue brush and not his fingers 😊 well done
I go through more brushes then I care to admit haha, thanks mate!
No keys! I’m late to the show this time but this build was sweet dude! I really like how you did the forearm rest that’s a sweet touch. I’ve always wanted to build a desk too, hopefully when I get around to it, it’ll look half as good as this one. 😂
Thanks man! The forearm rest is super comfortable too, so it worked out perfectly.
Good video, but over narrated.
Thanks for the feedback. There’s a lot to cover with this one so it translated into a lot more verbal details.
@ 6:37 noticed a cool effect when your water mark popped on the left bottom, it looked like blood splattered and you walked away to bleed off camera. But yeh didn't it was your water mark not real blood. I'll finish watching now and I'll be sure to give you a thumb up.
Nope, if that was happening I’d probably have to edit it out haha
Risky, I love your content, keep up the good work. I have been woodworking for 0ver 40 years and maybe in the beginning I bought extra wood but only because that is what people told me. Now on that note I have screwed up and had to improvise or go buy some wood to finish and one time I could not find the right color variation and that piece got painted. That is wood working figuring out a fix for your mistake!!
Thank you, I appreciate your support! Yeah, I think that’s a good point. Woodworking is a lot more problem solving than many folks realize. My number one goal with problems is to make them blend seamlessly with my intentions.
Keys. But also no keys. I think with your situation, putting the key on the bottom and filling the small check on top makes sense. With something that has more and larger cracks, the keys can add to the aesthetics without being major players. With your desktop, the key would be a distraction.
That's true, really large keys stitching a massive check in a slab can add some visual interest. I agree that on the desktop it would distract from the other elements.
Keys .... no question!!
I appreciate the passion
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Thanks mate - really enjoy the channel BTW. Nice mix of machines, hand tools and good design.
Thank you, happy to hear that!
That is drop-dead gorgeous! Wow!!
I really appreciate it, thank you.
What type of hand saw are you using on this build? This is looking great.
Than you, it’s been an awesome addition to the shop. Here’s a link to the Japanese pull saw I use: amzn.to/3zl8EDI I tend to use these more than western style saws.
Are you a software engineer?
Nope, I work in advertising.
April 23, 2020 for me. I used Covid quarantine for good. I imagine people who didn’t go through this won’t understand why we all talk about it. Congratulations.
Heck yeah, great job! Yeah, not everyone will understand but that’s okay, the message hopefully reaches those who need it.
Keys. They lock and unlock locks. I like that about them.
An open and shut case
Safe and not, I’ve subbed just for the dad jokes. My daughter gave me a great Father’s Day present. A place to keep my dad jokes… dad-a-base
Haha! Welcome to the channel! I might be borrowing that one.
Keys for sure as always absolutely beautiful desk top . Have said it before you sir are a true artist and master craftsman. Keep up the amazing work.
I really appreciate it! Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
Keys. Do you feel like the woodpecker autoscale sled is worth the price you paid? Would you buy it again tomorrow if it needed replacement? Thank you for your guidance!
I love the auto scale and would 100% buy it again. If it broke tomorrow, the order would be in 15 minutes later.
Combinations… still rebelling against the engagement gimmick that i hate, but anyway… Nice call on the arm rest. I’ve never seen that on a desk and it’s a great idea. My son is autlst1c and is constantly moving and stands a lot of the time so I got him a similar desk and he loves it, especially pushing the buttons and watching it go up and down, that and watching things spin are really common for kids like him… even though he’s almost 21 now.
Haha, well thanks for still playing along. Yeah the arm rest is really nice, it's something that has always annoyed me with other desks. And that's awesome, I'm glad it works for your son too! I think being able to move around a bit is good for everyone.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Definitely helps him stay skinny, he is rocking nearly 100% of the time regardless of whether he is sitting or standing and at about 5’11” he only weighs about 125 pounds, literally skinny as a rail.
Safe, but as my skills develop, will probably still go with safe, because those extra pieces are still beautiful wood, and they inspire me to try another project. But sometimes I try to like xplain, and I like do it like Inkorectkly. Really like your videos!
Right on! Definitely better to be safe than sorry. I appreciate the support!
Keys Thanks for sharing another great build!
Thanks for watching!
No keys (for now) but I hopefully see keys in my sawdust future
Fingers crossed!
That joint is exactly how I built the base of my coffee table, except I built it out of square tube steel. It made for very clean corners though
Nice! Yeah, I love how minimal this joint looks.
Both - key/no key - depends, as always, on the application. Love this desk... I want to leave an epic, long comment commensurate with your effort, but as you pointed out, it's 8:30pm here, and more or less bed time... I do appreciate your content. If you happen to do your own closed captioning work, I'd like to commend you on the correctness of your spelling. Question: was thinking of an older video of yours - how is that mailbox holding up?
Thank you so much! Yeah, it’s definitely time to call it a day hahaha. And thanks, I try to do my best with the captions I think they are about 97% correct which is about as good as I can hope for. The mailbox is in great shape overall. The walnut is turning more blonde in the direct sun, but the veneer and miters are still looking tight.
Love the build! Why did you use a countersink bit for screws that went through the desk brackets?
Thank you glad you enjoyed it! I just used the stop for the depth and pull the counter sink portion up into the collar.
Keys or no keys. I have to say I am the type of person that will use use the keys when needed only. But the one thing I like to do is use contrasting woods to make them
I think if you’re gonna show them off, that’s the way to do it. Go wild!
Just wanted to say congrats on your sobriety, it is genuinely the best thing someone can do for their life. May 29th, 2016 for me. Keep it up man!
Thank you so much!
Keys. I would like to make them more seen, but I am not a big woodworker yet so when I start to do them they will be bolder. I'll use contrasting woods to make them stand out, they look very pleasing to me and they serve a purpose....... Win-Win
I think if you are all for keys you should go all in. Contrasting lumber and unique shapes for sure.
keys / thank you
Thank you for watching!
No keys -
Yes
Keys nice desk build. I like your use of hand planes to get superior results to power tools. Did we see the final result of the bow tie?
Thank you! Yeah, I love the fit and finish that’s achieved with hand tools. There’s a shot in the finish process but getting up under the desk was a bit challenging so there will be a photo or two over on IG of the butterfly.
Guess I'm oldschool. I absolutely hate visible joinery
I definitely prefer the cleaner, hidden look myself.
No keys- great build‼️ Walnut is just sooo beautiful
I love working with walnut, it’s always a joy. Thank you!
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks yes it is and you’re welcome!
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I really enjoyed the talking you did to go with work. I enjoy the talking because I like to picture how I would do things and learn from a different process. I gravitate more to videos like yours and will be back.
I’m glad you liked the project, it was a pleasure to work on. Thank you for the watching and welcome to the channel!
Keys for sure, I have three on my desk top. Excellent work as always.
Thanks man!
Beautiful desk 👍 No Keys I’ve always found them to be distracting for most applications, but I’m mostly old school.
Thank you! Yeah, I too prefer the cleaner look.
Keys. I like to celebrate the talent of others. I haven't tried much in the way of woodworking. Your pieces are so out of my league right now. ❤
I appreciate the praise! You should definitely give it a go, I find it to be very therapeutic.
Wonderful work! I would love to see more and get plans. Keep up your great work!😃
Thank you! If I do end up making plans for this one, I’ll definitely let you know.
Keys. Great video and project again. What projects do you water pop or do you do that to them all?
Thank you! I water pop just about everything. When it come to the interior of cases I do sometimes skip them.
Key when it is needed, not just for looks.
Oh man, those are the worst.
Keys have their place. For me, no keys unless they're underneath.
agreed.
Keys. I like the focal point of them, and they don't have to be bowtie shaped. You could always make something that is like an inlay but it has the purpose of a bowtie. Love your work.
Thank you! Yeah, I've even seen guys use a CNC to cut out Star Wars ship shapes for butterflies haha
Keys! I love the video and like your description. I have used both differing woods and the same wood as a key. I think it's a way to really put a little bling into a humble piece.
Thank you, happy to hear that! Yeah, I think you can really lean into making them a feature in some cases.
Keys, but only for the right piece. My current tabletop project has a large crack from drying. But for a live edge table, "leaned" into the crack and adding 6 different sized bowties to stabilise
Nice, that sounds like a fun solution.
Keys, nice work on this piece. Where did you get your crosscut sled?
Thank you! It’s the auto scale sled from woodpeckers.
Keys, should be on the show face....it shows your awesome workmanship....and is a conversation piece for sure....
I can see that point of view but I do like having hidden gems in too.
