Great job! I always appreciate your honesty and kind approach to your projects. You saved some old boards from the landfill and from ten feet away, who would not believe your shelves weren’t absolutely perfect. Very inspiring to us novice woodworkers. Bravo!
I was going to say the exact same thing! I feel like a video of a common project build with all of the mistakes / solutions would be super informative!
Peter Millard... The Monty Don of woodwork. My wife ( a keen gardener ) is mesmerised by your gentle manner ( despite understanding NOTHING! ) as I watch your tutorials. Keep up the inspirational work :)
I think that was one of your most enjoyable videos because you showed us your mistakes. It showed you are human, like the rest of us mere mortals and you showed us how to recycle some scrap wood into something useful and good looking.
Grandad was a time served carpenter and later became an accomplished builder. There were no power tools then and one day he was making a scarf joint on some 9 x 3 timbers and I was watching him avidly. He turned to me and said , lass, take note, measure twice and cut once, tother wise, you will cuss thrice! I always remembered that, though even measuring twice, sometimes, I still get it all wrong and cuss thrice for sure! Thanks for a brilliant video Peter!
Great project. Every time you make a mistake and show how you fixed it, it's a good tip for everyone. We all make mistakes, and it's great to see how to resolve it. Thanks Peter ! Love your work.
At 1:04 "... cutting across them so the kerf of the blade cuts both ends." THAT is freakin' brilliant, I never would have though of doing that! Super simple way to get perfectly matched edges so there's no issue when joining AND very tight/neat joints. I'm totally stealing that technique.
hi peter its simple ! most days you are spot on . then we all get the days were not a thing goes right for you . it proves that even the best have off days you are not a robot . i think the good bit is how do we get around are mistakes thats what makes us skilled peter i enjoy ur videos and your honesty unlike some whom never show us when it all goes pear shaped all the best keep on making the great vids . kind regards mark
hi Peter. One tip I learned on another youtube channel is to not use round dowels but square ones so you allow the excessive glue to escape rather than the glue wanting to push the dowel out again
Another Awesome Display of your Craft Peter , great use of Recycling , and One thing which i have learned from you is " use your scraps to make jigs to make you work Smarter , as for the Mistakes , everyone makes them , your honest enough to show them , Absolute Legend Peter Thank you
Another good bid where I learnt something new - the use of the power blade kef to marry the board sections - very clever and neat. I would also recommend using a tape measure with a viewing window on the tape body for internal measurements ie Stanley panoramic. Old fashioned I know but easy to read. Thanks for producing the channel.
Hey Peter, i enjoyed the vid, particularly in how you overcame the errors. Most of us home diy'ers would tend to make a lot of mistakes, so knowing how to fix it and press on without it becoming a stumbling block was very helpful.
Peter wow not like you to make my mistakes but fair play holding your hands up respect to you and working with recycled materials is never good I do it all the time but sometimes wonder if its not economical and shame on you throwing screws out🙄 in your old world you could pass the cost on but in our world you can't loved the shelves though
Great video and I really appreciate your honesty in showing your mistakes and not edit them out as you could have done, the 100mm tape mistake made me smile, a chap who worked for me retired on Christmas Eve after 21 loyal years service and he was,and is,a brilliant cabinet maker, highly talented...but...from time to time he still made that mistake in forgetting the 100mm like your good self, which just goes to show even the best and experienced amongst us are only human after all!
Brilliant. If you're still making schoolboy errors after so many years experience it certainly makes me feel a lot better about my own silly mistakes. Thanks! :D
Now this is organic building! Use what you've got in the shop. Love it. You need to get the bigger Domino machine. Those shelves would be really strong. I've made several doors and table tops with it.
The shop is looking better! The making of mistakes...the recovering from mistakes...it's all part of the process. Nicely done! AND, that tape measure, I just ordered one. Now I can make mistakes too! Haha
Love it, love to see videos like these. I built 2 cabinets in my bathroom recently using purely off cuts from other jobs or my own house. Had to get really creative. The plinths and the lower face from on the other one are skirting board turned back to front and upside down. No one would ever know. I even made a bit of a mix to spray the inside of the shelves out of various dreggs of various brands of water based paint I have, it's turned out brilliantly.
As a wise person once said " You can never have enough clamps".....or tracksaws from the looks of it lol. Finally took the plunge (pun intended) and purchased the MacAllister track saw from Screwfix based on your recommendation. Can't fault it so far. Very good for the price. Thanks Peter for continuing to help us diyer's.

Looking very good Peter 👍. It's great that you show your mistakes, (as does Keith Brown), because we all do it, but may not come up with some of the clever ways you overcome them, so we all learn from you, like stop throwing things out, as they really will come in handy one day 😂.
you made a right pigs ear of making those shelves, but the art of making a cock up is getting over it, thay turned out well in the end, and after all they are workshop shelves. Always entertaining and informative as all your vlogs are, learning a lot from your channel
I remember being in woodshop in middle school...one of my classmates says to the teacher, "Mr. Griggs, I've cut this piece 4 times and it's still too short"....LMAO! We all make mistakes and it's nice to see even the people we look up to aren't perfect. Thanks for the great content!
The sign of a real pro - how well they handle their mistakes. I just wish I didn't get so much practice. :P I really love those lights. Think I'll have to steal that idea.
For being a real patchwork it sure turned out great! Truly an inspiration for the scraps I've got lying around thinking I'll never use for anything. BTW, I just got a Wolfcraft dowel jig that's a 660mm rail with 32mm spacing between its holes and bushings for 5, 6, 8 and 10mm holes. 5mm is for shelf pins. After seeing your dowel jig video I think you'd have a great take on that jig if you ever got the time and found it interesting. Anyway, thanks for the video! Love seeing how your workshop gets increasingly fancy.
Yes! Love the franken shelves! Next week the Parkside Plunge Saw is on sale over here. Don't need one guess what's going in my shopping cart next week ;-) Have a good weekend #teamgroef
@@10MinuteWorkshop This is the reverse 'butterfly effect' - if you had kept the screws, you would have measured the shelves correctly, and not needed them
Sunday Times today and a very positive, well-deserved, mention !! - have to say for a couple of the others listed I'm not quite so sure about them, perhaps just not to my taste?
I also love my hultafors (makers of talmeter) tape measure and unfortunately I've made the same mistake once or twice myself, glad to see it happens to much more skilled people than me :D
Making mistakes is of little consequence when you know how to correct them. The shelves are great and extremely useful. I can't say I'd go to the length of the backlighting though!
As ever, excellent, simple to make jig! I just hate those sexy, ultra-versatile numbers that take twice as long to put together as the actual job at hand! Yes, sometimes it is worth it, but I just want to get on with it, and the jig is supposed to speed things up! Thanks for sharing!
The Talmeter, yes... Let's just say I've also made a few, very exact, 100 mm too short pieces. The Talmeter is, however, sturdy enough to survive a few meters hasty flight - don't ask how I know.
Keep off the red! I've almost done it. But what a fantastic accurate and useful tape measure. It makes the others seem so second rate. I have the 3m one. It's one of my tools that will be replaced as and when I kill it :)

I got the 3m talmeter on the recommendation of Matt estlea, and I don’t remember making that mistake yet. It’s got a sliding bit to hide the thingy, and it only took me 3 months to figure that out. It kept springing loose. I did find a wooden ruler by talmeter, was happy to take it with me.

Great shelves Peter. Appreciate the honesty with the errors. That’s akin to many of my projects - cock ups and cures. All in all though they’re very solid and probably much better than any IKEA chipboard rubbish or finger spliced softwood stuff that many people pay a lot of money for. The workshop makeover is coming together nicely. All the best. 👍🏻
A master furniture maker once told me "It's not that you make no mistakes that qualifies you as a master builder, it's how well you hide them that matters. Finish it and know one will know."
Moving from client work to working for your workshop there are two possibilities: a) you will suddenty achieve a higher standard than ever before b) your standards will go to pot Which do you prefer least ;-)
How the heck are you getting your dowels and dominos matched up so perfectly? It looks like you're placing them quite casually, but they fit perfectly. PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
My favourite "wrongle scale" story: I had a client who'd ordered a custom carpet to to fit his rectangular studio set. When it arrived, it was perfect in one dimension, but about two and a half times too short in the other. He was furious, asking how the maker could have got it so wrong. The invoice had the measurements on it, and it was as per the carpet. I measured the set and to no surprise of mine whatsoever, it matched the invoice dimension... but in inches. I asked if, by any chance, he'd quoted centimetres in one dimension and inches in the other, then ordered in cm. He thought about it for a moment, then remembered that was exactly what he'd done. He then tried to sell it to me as a corridor runner.
All of the sudden I realise that the Franken-made trend on TH-cam may have started on this side of TH-cam. Good to see though that you can get by with recycling or using scraps. No reason to think the outcome wouldn't just be as clean as with new materials.
Thats so strange, my next video is workshop shelving with shallow cabinets at the top. All made from salvaged hotel skirting boards. Took an age to sand all the paint off before i could use them. Didnt wanna risk running it through the planer thicknesser incase it damaged the blades.

Great shelves Peter. Appreciate the honesty with the errors. That’s akin to many of my projects - cock ups and cures. All in all though they’re very solid and probably much better than any IKEA chipboard rubbish or finger spliced softwood stuff that many people pay a lot of money for. The workshop makeover is coming together nicely. All the best. 👍🏻
Thanks Paul! Yes, I was pleased how they came together, but furious at myself for the noob mistakes. Hey ho - it happens! 🤷♂️👍👍
A master furniture maker once told me "It's not that you make no mistakes that qualifies you as a master builder, it's how well you hide them that matters. Finish it and know one will know."
A man after my own heart! 😂👍👍
Moving from client work to working for your workshop there are two possibilities:
a) you will suddenty achieve a higher standard than ever before
b) your standards will go to pot
Which do you prefer least ;-)
😂 😂 Jury's still out Stephen! 👍
How the heck are you getting your dowels and dominos matched up so perfectly? It looks like you're placing them quite casually, but they fit perfectly. PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
My favourite "wrongle scale" story:
I had a client who'd ordered a custom carpet to to fit his rectangular studio set.
When it arrived, it was perfect in one dimension, but about two and a half times too short in the other. He was furious, asking how the maker could have got it so wrong. The invoice had the measurements on it, and it was as per the carpet.
I measured the set and to no surprise of mine whatsoever, it matched the invoice dimension... but in inches.
I asked if, by any chance, he'd quoted centimetres in one dimension and inches in the other, then ordered in cm.
He thought about it for a moment, then remembered that was exactly what he'd done. He then tried to sell it to me as a corridor runner.
😂😂 Classic!
All of the sudden I realise that the Franken-made trend on TH-cam may have started on this side of TH-cam. Good to see though that you can get by with recycling or using scraps. No reason to think the outcome wouldn't just be as clean as with new materials.
Thats so strange, my next video is workshop shelving with shallow cabinets at the top. All made from salvaged hotel skirting boards. Took an age to sand all the paint off before i could use them. Didnt wanna risk running it through the planer thicknesser incase it damaged the blades.
If only those skirting boards could talk! 😱😂😂
