I am a hobbyist woodworker in Southeast Texas with a full time day job that loves to build things in my time off. I worked as a framing and trim carpenter during my college years, and I love to build furniture. For the last 15 plus years, I have mainly been a pocket hole furniture type of guy, but I am developing my skills and moving into the realm of building fine furniture with traditional joinery. I am also in the process of converting my family's two car garage into a permanent woodworking shop. I figured I would start a KZread channel to document both efforts! So I hope you enjoy and and subscribe so you can follow along on the progress. :)

    @@themeblvd glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment! So, I’m sure you could use plywood instead of MDF, for sure. However, I chose MEF because it is very stable, very flat and has a good amount of heft to it, which I believe makes for a better top and sub surface for the Formica.

    Thanks so much! And yes, for me, I simply have to do that to ensure I am keeping everything together and as organized as possible. As you will see in the part 2, I didnt do that on my drawer box pieces. So even though I did set them up on the table grouped by each drawer, I failed to label them and it bit me in the end. Which, in my opinion, makes labeling and marking them up even that much more important. Thanks for the like and the subscribe! Greatly appreciated.

    Awesome video. Enjoyed light music in background. Narration and oration perfect. I find the posts weird because the wood core might eventually open the miters a little bit. It’s 2 inches so it’s only going to expand in the tree outside ring demo soon maybe a tenth of an inch or less. Over time sort of thing but maybe the glue holds it too.. makes me want to do it just to see. Probably look just a tiny 1/16 gap on one miter edge after ten years.

  • @oilcitywoodworks
    @oilcitywoodworks4 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the encouraging feedback on the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Honestly, I did think about wood expansion on the internal pine within the legs and I do think it could definitely open up the gap in the miters at some point in the future, I just have to think it should be minimal, or ~1/16" as you said. And for a shop table, it was something that I was okay with, but for sure if it was a client build (which I dont have at this point) I would have to think about the long term effectiveness of that method. But great point and observation!

    Just a suggestion; when I’m doing glue-ups, I keep a cheap shop towel (harbor freight special) in my apron upper pocket that hangs out just a bit (so it doesn’t get in the way). Then you have a handily available rag to wipe glue on while doing glue-ups. You can also use Scott shop towels (heavy duty paper towels) if you prefer.
