    Since you asked, absolutely leave the mistakes in the video! I've had a rough day in the shop today. Everything I touched I messed up in one way or another. First I cut a dado on the wrong side of a rail. Fine; just flip the rail. Except that I'm doing castle joints so when I flipped the rail, front leg and back leg were fitted to the wrong ends. So then I snapped the end of the rail trying to get it out of a joint that was too tight.
    Left that gluing and went to a little side project. I started spraying an oil can I began restoring last night. I finally got to the clear coat whilst my glue was drying and promptly dropped it in the dirt. Start again (on that part at least.)
    The whole day has been like that. You're video is at least making me feel a little less alone in my disasters.
    Appreciated.

    Please do leave mistakes and if possible, some time stamps on how much time it took you to do a certain step. I think that's one of the things which seems missing from many of the videos from the woodworking creators I follow on youtube. I think many of your audience are probably hobby or weekend wood workers who wanted to learn a skill and create something unique. But we feel bit frustrated many times on just how much time a certain step might take. I recently milled rough cut slab to be used for the project and I was doing it for 3-4 days! (just couple of hrs a day though). During that time, I felt many times if others are taking same amount of time or its just me. Same goes with mistakes. Am I that clumsy that after measuring 5 times and still made a mistake. Such videos give us hope that its ok to make mistake, but skill is to step back and find a solution to the mistake. Thanks again for covering this aspect of woodworking.

    • @wittworks

    Snorkel…. One thing I like to do is make candle holders out of branches around 6 - 8 inches thick. I cut them 9 - 24 inches long then rip them up the middle so I can bore holes for tealight candles in the rounded part. Before I cut them I let the air dry outside in the garage for a year or two then after I’ll tie them up in garbage bags and stick them in the deep freezer for a couple weeks to get rid of any bugs. Next I’ll take them out of the freezer and let them warm up for a couple days then I’ll put them in the oven on convection at 150 degrees for a day and a half to take care of any eggs, spores or other microscopic life. After that I let them sit dry in the house for another 2 or 3 years maybe baking them a couple more times along the way to make sure they’re not turning into a home for anything and maybe squeeze more moisture out of them.
    Unless I’m greatly underestimating the size of that wood I think you could’ve done the same thing especially when you had it in 2 chunks. Don’t get me wrong nothing beats having it kiln dried but if you want to go down the road of milling and drying your own chunks of wood for the satisfaction of knowing you created something going from a raw chunk of green moisture saturated log to the final masterpiece before our eyes, you might want to give that a shot until you finally get one of those vacuum kilns :).
    On another note, showing the mistakes and solutions you came up with is EXTREMELY valuable. I personally LOVE how you showed just how HUGE of a difference a 32nd of an inch can make because I’m sure I speak for a lot of us when I say people just don’t understand why we need to be “so perfect” like we have some type of complex about us when NO the whoooole entire project can go off the rails over a tiny 128TH OF AN INCH which makes a 32nd HUGE. So it helps for things like that to be shown so when people close to us are watching TH-cam videos to get ideas for things they want US to build they can see how things can be trickier than they think because let HGTV tell it ANYTHING can be done in 3 days when in reality we need longer than that just to let one of several things fully cure before moving to the next step.

    So So sad that youtube waited 9 days to put your video in my feed. : ( I literally never miss any of yours, because while I really enjoy the woodworking aspect of yours, I more-so enjoy the dry and sarcastic humor and also the cleverness of it all!
    I'm a newly proud owner of one of your routing templates. ALSO - PLEASE NOTE!!! I think I'm just across the metroplex from you (though not absolutely sure). I wanted to let you know that I have a 400x400 fmd printer that you're welcome to anytime. If you want me to print anything for you at all, please don't hesitate. I would just ask for you to supply the plastic. no charge for anything else! Literally it just sits at my place of business not being used much. I have another 2 printers at home that I use a lot more. By the way, I welcome any ventures to you making 3d printing related woodworking videos for sure.
    One question i have for you, have you gotten into the rabbit hole of making gridfinity stuff or anything else in that vane (sp?) for organizing? I know you've done the track saw covers, saw that.
    Who in their right mind would say they don't like Jon over at Lincoln? So we know exactly where you are on that--- out snorkling. (see what I did there, waited til towards the end).
    Lastly, just two weeks ago I did the self install of my very own 12btu Mr Cool system for my garage, and I just love love love being able to remotely turn the unit on ahead of me coming home from work so that it drops from 105 inside to 80 something by the time I need in there.
    If you want to take me up on 3dprinting anything for you (large items), hit me up. 214 area code with 6824318 at the end.
    I know I said 'lastly' ages ago, but 'back in my day' we also called it 'bad' for 'good' but at the next level we called it 'bad ass' for some reason. (still use the 'bad ass' part regularly at 58 years old).

    Firstly, your “mistakes” are nuggets of wisdom for us watching so I appreciate them. Secondly I’m so so thrilled you’re working with of all badass woods: Pecan! I had no idea pecan and hickory were that closely related, explains why I’ve been obsessed over hickory which isn’t the easiest species to work with especially when using fasteners but it’s well worth the effort to use more complex joinery I’ve used to work around its ability to eat metal. I grew up with a headboard, bedside table and dresser set all made of pecan. It has these angular shapes in the front as decorative trim and nice deep drawers, definitely shaped in mid century taste with its tapered legs and simplicity and anyways I think they were pieces built by a great great of mine and because of that, because pecan is stunning like hickory and because I’d like to replicate my lost headboard and the gorgeous dresser my dad stole from me it’s amazing to see pecan being used in this video! Now I still have to build the router table for the kit I bought from you… I will get on it I swear and I’m looking forward to all the perks of having it. I have to say anyone who needs a small router table setup with a handheld router this is the kit to 100% go with! The quality, craftsmanship and thought behind Wittworks router kit is unbelievable and I’ll get another one when I get another router because it’s that essential now! I do need to make the table portion but being able to collect dust and chips off a handheld router is amazing and the convenience and genius of Wittworks kit is award worthy really! It really is a godsend for someone like me that’s serious about building but has a day job and other commitments first and who primarily uses handheld vs the big Bosch. And I just don’t have room for a big router table so this truly changes the game for me

    The mistakes are one of the most important aspects of a useful video. For one thing it shows that doing what you're doing isn't easy or quick, which is very important in the fake social media world we live in. It also shows us things we should look out for or think of without having to go through the pain of making the same mistakes ourselves.

    If you ever want to get back to milling your own, Matt Cremona has some good insight into bug control, drying, etc. One thing that does help is spraying with a boric acid based buggy killer before putting up for air drying. You could also find a spot for a solar kiln =p
    Working slow is working deliberately. Speed comes with experience.

    Pecan is one of those woods you really have to watch. Its best when milled green and then dried, it can lack figure, Trees that are milled when they are dieing or already dead are often full of rot(thats why they are dead) but can have quite of bit of spalting. Pecan is a wood that can go from great to "oh no" pretty quickly when fungus gets to it.
    I built my home and used wood from a pecan that my great grandfather planted around 1920. On that tree it was living and i fell it and let it sit there 9 months before milling it. It spalted beautifully and was used in our secondary kitchen. I made a panel/sign that hangs there with it to pay homage to the tree and my ggf.

The reminder that you are mortal, make mistakes, and still make great projects is also very valuable. I've heard that even expert wood workers make mistakes, they just know how to hide them better.

    For the 3D printing question: file/.stl/etc part design, I know you said you had your buddy do this template, but I think with things like Bambu printers basically being plug and play now, it is all about finding, creating and repurposing designs to print. Seeing how to best do this, in a variety of programs/etc would be helpful for the community I think.

I've just started out, and so far I've made a zero clearance plate for my table saw, glue holder, some sanding blocks, and what I think has been really cool was shims for when I make cabinets so I can get the perfect reveal around the edges. Oh, and magnetic dust collector fittings. And if you leave out your mistakes, it would mean you're not challenging yourself enough. Mistakes are how everyone learns.

    Great story and video. I had a very simillar situation with a beautiful spalted pecan log. I built a round table with a starburst top which allowed me to use smaller wedges of wood so I could avoid the unusable areas. It was the most difficult project I've undertaken between the math and the precision required for cutting the wedges, but the result is staggeringly beautiful.
