Using the router to get that edge square to connect the tables was such a great idea. I never would have thought about that. I will have to tuck that away in my memory. This really turned out amazing. And I have learned lots of tips and tricks. I’m sure I’ll be saving this and coming back to watch more. Apparently I was already a subscriber to your channel. But I do not remember when. Found you again today. Really enjoyed the videos. Went to subscribe and realized I had already. But… I did not have the bell set to all. I do now! Still can’t find any previous videos of yours that I watched. LOL Oh well. I’ll be watching now.
Thanks Angie! TH-cam goes in waves of unsubscribing me from channels or having them not show up in my subscribe feed - it'll be good for a year, then dozens of channels disappear, then a year later they reappear. At one point I had a second channel and found it very funny when TH-cam unsubscribed me from myself 🤣
I have the same tracksaw and yes the not-cutting-square thing is very frustrating. Fixable but it depends on a grub screw bearing against a plastic component.
That turned out really amazing! I really like the shelf mechanism, it looks great and does exactly what it needs to do. The finished effect really shows off your games.
Great looking cabinet. It feels like you have stepped up the production value a lot. Changes in tempo, pauses, shifting between narration and talkin on camera, all works well and gave me the feeling of being in the shop there with you for a litlle while. Well done
...and here I was complaining about making 40 2-piece yoga mat hooks... that's a lot of repeated cuts. The end result is epic Paul, very patriotic in green and gold ;) I had to google what a Kallax is. I think you killed it ;)
Beutiful design, especially the "hidden" seems for the top caps, and just lovely, practical and well thought out construction. Every video just gets better and better mate, officially jelous of your home and abilty to improve it, but it also gives me hooe i can get to that phase sometime soon too. Keep it up matey, love from Sydney.
I’ve never sprayed acrylic with my hvlp gun, the additive you used was news to me. I only spray acrylic with airless, which has its pros and cons. Keep up the good work, your content quality is refreshing.
at least your benchtops were the same thickness :D i did the same for a hall table a couple of weeks ago, and found that either end of the benchtop were 3mm different in thickness
Wow, those shelves look amazing!! The slat shelves may not look the strongest, but they also will only hold a couple of games each as there are so many shallow shelves. It's a bit different than bookshelves but it'll work perfectly for the intended purpose.
Thanks! If you switched the slats out for a solid panel, I think you'd be able to hold plenty of books per row too. The cleats/vertical stands seem to be able to hold a ridiculous amount of weight for the size - and could always beef it up to slightly thicker standards to hold a few encylopedias per row :)
Really nice build, mate! What made you go for melamine/chipboard for the carcasses vs. mdf? Was it just cost, or are there some other attributes of chipboard that made you choose it? Would you have done the same for a kitchen? Or how about a built-in wardrobe? "Asking for a friend" :D Cheers and thanks for sharing.
@@NomadMakes melamine for carcasses means just edge banding, no finishing required. Big plus, especially since - imo - the interior really should be white for visibility of most cabinets. MDF would have been heavier too. In Australia, HMR melamine chipboard is the "standard" (for better or worse) for all cabinets in kitchens, laundries, bathrooms and wardrobes! Next year some time we'll be doing over our laundry and it'll be melamine again there because it is cheap and durable, especially if you use thicker edge banding tape
WOW. What a mammoth project. And turned out Stunning. Love the saw tooth. I first saw it many years ago being made by Paul Sellers. Games 3-5 times a week? Do you own a TV? I have not watched TV in over three years. If you lived close to 'Kuffy', you could have grovelled to him to do those big cuts for you 😁.
Thanks Pete! We have a TV but like you it gets very little use. I had to make sure we even owned an aerial cable when the cricket was on, it was the first time we tried FTA since we moved 🤣 Board games or video games are just so much more interesting and sociable than watching TV! This is the third time I've used the sawteeth design, they're great - I think its the only way to have a 'pretty' adjustable shelf
Haha, a bit of everything! January was "ugly but good games month" - games like Tigris and Euphrates (the ugly pegasus spiele german only version), hansa tuetonica, Powergrid, and the OG 'big box' version of El Grande. If it looked pretty, it sat on the shelves in Jan. We're still deciding the theme for March 🤣
Very surprised you used the domino on the bottom face of the bench top. Didn't think the prefab tops would be too accurate. The green and brass looks great. Nice to see more boardgame storage options out there.
When sanding there was a slight seam with the dominos - a hump in the middle mostly - but a few passes with a #4 plane and then sanding blending it surprisingly well. I find the thicker (30mm+) prelams are *usually* OK for flatness, but the 25mm and thinner tend to go like potato chips as soon as they're out of the bag
My favorite kinds of comments on woodworking videos are these super helpful suggestions from things you watched on some other YT video. Very helpful person, keep spreading valuable information!
@gothud I'm a professional carpenter and I've been making fitted furniture for 20 years. My suggestions and comments are intended as helpful advice. Yours, on the other hand, are cuntish.
Is preparation tape basically just a paintable edge banding? Australian trade suppliers are often seem to be of the mindset that the internet is just a fad and will blow over any day now, so I haven't had any luck finding it locally. Do you know if it goes by any other name? That'd be so much quicker!
@TheWoodKnight Yes, it's a matt 'paper' but thick and sandable. The glue never fails and it paints brilliantly. I actually prefer MR MDF for everything these days.
So much room for activities! That green looks great :D
I'm pining for more things to paint green. It really towers over the other colours! ;)

Love the door colour and the steel capped safety sandals.
With temperature regularly reaching 40-45c in the workshop, closed toe boots arent always an option.

That is a very kind, lovely thing to say, thank you. You've made my day 🥰
Looks great Paul! Workshop is looking great as well.
Thanks 👍
Awesome result. I build commercial cabinets in Tassie and some of the products you are using are new to me, so thanks!
Haha, awesome, my overthinking and over-researching is working out well 😁
I'm curious - what were the new to you products?

3mm? oof, thats a bit brutal - once its at the full benchtop width, its not like you can thickness it without industrial machines too :(
"Adorable and borderline useless spanner." - I feel like you were speaking to me.
No comment 😂
I was wondering if you could make the angled shelf holders on the table saw. I like the idea.
Wow, those shelves look amazing!! The slat shelves may not look the strongest, but they also will only hold a couple of games each as there are so many shallow shelves. It's a bit different than bookshelves but it'll work perfectly for the intended purpose.

Ok 🤩
I don't think most North Americans are familiar with the strength of Australian hard woods.
what are you playing lately?

@@TheWoodKnight very nice, judging by your collection we have pretty similar taste in games!

@@TheWoodKnight I've seen 16mm melamine faced MDF vary by 1.3mm.
Not fun when you need to join that.
I would suggesusing MR MDF. The edges polish up really easily and paint lime the face. Alternatively, edgeband with preparation tape.
