Thank you! Cheers!

Matt thank you for the kind words! The best investment for the shaper was a 1/8” collet as the bits are so cheap! But honestly I haven’t snapped any bits because I z-touch the bits by eye not automatically and I take .01”passes at a time.

Thank you!!

Thanks Peter! Hammer coming inbound to ya!

Thank you Steve!

The stock ring box it came in was ehhh so I figure if I’m going to make something, might as well make it unique! Thanks again Rich!

Thank you Rich!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Took a while to amass them but they do make the job easier!

Nope

Thank you for watching! I have 3 projects I’ve filmed and now just need to edit and and post them!

I’m glad you found it useful! Thanks for the sub!

Lamme know how it turns out!

Thanks man for watching and dropping a line!

Thank you Steven! Thanks for watching!

He employed several styles of wedges over a long career.

Thank you for watching and commenting and also noticing the little details! It’s hard to make something rectilinear not look so monotonous and so I hoped the little angles and facets would make it a bit more interesting. And basements are another level headache but they’re pretty common in Virginia. Where do you live?

Thank you for watching and dropping a comment!

That’s probably the best compliment I’ve ever gotten if Ishitani and kobeomsuk don’t give you chills! It’s comments like these that push me to make more videos. One coming up soon! Thanks again!

@@briantheprion both are awesome, don’t get me wrong. But the detailed filming and satisfying assemblies with tight fitting joints are a joy to see. Keep ‘em coming

@@niels5145thank you! Ok will have some stuff out soon!

Dude!! Don’t think that! We all start somewhere and we just get better with time and practice! What are you working on these days?

Thanks a ton and thanks for the sub! I have a few projects coming together and a shaker lap desk will be out soon! 100k seems impossible tho lol

Thanks so much for watching and tuning in! Got a few vids coming out including a shaker lap desk soon!

Wow, thank you! Coming out with a shaker lap desk soon!

Thank you! Stay tuned got another build coming out soon!

I’m not above using a random orbital sander but sometimes a plane just makes for really accurate adjustments to parts fitting and it’s fun to use too! Thanks for dropping me a line! Do you make furniture too? What kinds of things have you made?

@@briantheprion I do actually, I started when I was nine years old. I make tables, desks and some smaller stuff for my corporate clients. Lately I’ve been making a few things out of slab wood but those are more experimental. Recently I’ve upgraded a bunch of my machines, I now have a Laguna CNC, Hammer C-4 sliding tablesaw/Joiner/planer/shaper and a big Laguna laser. I’m using the new machines to do the slab experimentation. BTW, I saw you on my daughters account, this is her father, Michael

Hi Michael. Wow you got some legit nice upgrades with the laguna cnc and the hammer combo machine! Thanks again for replying and letting me know the type of stuff you do!

Thank you for watching and commenting and absolutely feel free to use any elements of this table in yours! I borrowed a lot from Mr Ishitani as well. I’ve always been interested in building a piece of furniture that I hope will last for many generations and hopefully yours will too! If you’re on Instagram send me a message on it. My ig account is BrianThePrion and I can def answer any technical questions.

They are made by Jet and sold through woodcraft.

Let’s see: it’s 30 inches tall (76 cm), 36 inches wide (91.5 cm) and 73 inches long (185.5 cm). Thanks for watching and commenting!

Finally someone who understands exception to rules and not just blindly following mantra. Agreed about leather or thick work gloves; they’re the kiss of death and a quick way to be on disability.

Haha Tim you know how important that is in our line of work lol

My man Ben. Finally someone with common sense. You explained that perfectly. You got the same Jet Lathe eh? what kind of stuff have you been making? post some vids i wanna see!

I was thinking of making a tongue in cheek video of the year 2030 and me dumpster diving and fishing an epoxy table out from the trash just to salvage the wood in those tabletops to make proper furniture haha

Thank you kindly! I’m glad you think so!

Shane hi! Thanks for your comment and revisiting my video! I’m definitely still learning and trying out techniques as I go and I feel honored you think my skills are at the level of a craftsman! Also don’t despair! I look at some of the works of people who work with curves and it makes me think: dang, now that guy has it all figured out. If you haven’t already check out the work of Garrett Hack and Tim Rousseau. Those guys are what I consider true masters.

Also don’t ever feel lowly or compare yourself to others! As long as you’re improving and making better furniture as time goes on than you should be proud of that.

Thanks Ethan! How’s med school going?!

Thank you JoJo!

He is a rare type with great eye for design as well as a steady hand. He was one of the reasons I went into woodworking!

Thank you so much and thanks for following along!

Thank you brother!

Thank you! Parts I used the original for: after creating the rippled pattern on the larger board, I used the origin to cut out the rabbet and grooves to fit in a dado on the upper lid. I could have done this by hand by first sawing and then using a marking gauge to get the correct thickness using the bottom as a reference. Does that make sense? Since the ripple creates a nonuniform surface I would have to use the bottom as a flat reference if doing it by hand. I would use a shoulder plane to get the thickness right. But the origin just allowed me to make that in one easy setup. The second part I used the origin for was for cutting out the leaf and also creating the mortise for it. Doing it by hand is tricky because of the ripple pattern: you would lay the leaf down and scribe by hand and chisel/router out the waste but because the leaf is sitting on an irregular surface, this would have been harder to do but still very possible. I hope that explains the parts I used the origin for. Unfortunately I built it with a deadline in mind and so I didn’t get to film it but I would def reconsider building this box again in the future and I’ll def film!

Thanks you so much for thinking that! How is your table? Is it getting a lot of use? Thanks for following along!

@@briantheprion yeah unfortunately progress has been a bit slow recently, we had a very sudden passing of our dog a few months ago so I took some time away from the project. But things are starting to look up. I'm actually in Japan now and am on a bit of an unexpected woodworking journey. Lots of cool tools and traditions here that are inspiring me to get back into it when I return.

Thank you so much and thank you for following along!

You betcha! I swear I’m just a clip or two away from something and then life gets in the way 😅

I built this box under some time restraints and so I sadly didn’t take many other pics or vids except what is shown at the end but I may rebuild this box in the future and I’ll def be making a video about it!

Thank you kindly and thanks for following along!

Thank you Rich!!!

Thank you Eitan and thanks for following along!!

Thank you for watching and dropping a line!

Such a great question. I thought about this after I finished the project about how I could have made this easier on myself and I found that there are peghole reamers for guitars and violins but the overall size was too small and the taper too steep for what I needed. There are some automotive reamers that are closer to what I needed on Amazon. Admittedly, if I did it again, I’d prob get those reamers and then make the pegs fit the reamer vs the other way around but my method shows you a solution to a problem I created or if you only have a small amount of wood and can’t afford to loose length by turning it on a lathe.
