Not going to lie I am a new woodworker and I have never ever seen your videos but I saw the one with the classable bowl and I subscribed like THAT. Love the content.
Your project turned out great! It's always fun to see people working with steel for the first time and succeeding, it's by no means a forgiving medium. If you ever work with steel again, and decide you'd like some sort of natural steel finish other than mill scale, you can actually give it a lot of different types of finishes and colors without any chemicals or paints involved. The first step is to get down to bare bright metal with sanding, sandblasting, or lots of wire brushing. This is the first variable to account for, whether it's a matte finish, a shiny finish, somewhere in between, or something unique like a repeating swirl pattern or jeweling (and sometimes it looks so good that nothing else is needed). From there, when the steel is bright, you can use a simple propane torch or your oven to give it a fairly wide range of colors due to forming a layer of oxidation altering light refractions. You can get straw colors, reddish brown, purple, deep blue (like cobalt/indigo blue), peacock blue, light blue, and up to a grayish silver color. A good example of this is color case hardening. It's not super easy to get a consistent color with a torch, but it will give it character and a unique pattern...you can even give it a pattern, like zebra stripes or dots, zigzags, whatever you want. Make sure the steel is super clean to get the best finish possible, using acetone or rubbing alcohol to get all the oil and dust off. The colors change based on how hot you get the steel, and it goes more or less in the order I described the colors. To get a nice even blue color all the way around, heat your oven up to around 450F and simply place the steel inside (don't worry, it's not going to damage the oven or smell, it's the same as using cast iron cookware in the oven). Watch it start turning colors, remove it when you get the color you want, and use the torch if there's a spot somewhere that didn't quite get to that color. There's no going back once you pass that color, but you can start over and sand the oxide layer off...it's a lot easier to remove than the mill scale. If you want a shiny/smooth deep black, this is also possible in a similar way to how mill scale is formed. Allow the steel to get red rust (leave it in a bucket or accelerate it with a salt and vinegar solution on a rag). Once it has a thin layer of rust (don't let it rust too deep or you'll get pitting), you can turn it black by applying heat. Then, using steel wool, wipe off any loose/dusty bits of rust leaving only a thin layer of black behind. It doesn't take much to get a decent black but it's a longer process if you want it to stay shiny and get a dark black color like antique firearms. A mirror finish on steel will end up being kind of a satin finish in most cases. Experiment with some small pieces and see if there's something you like, or if it's something you even want to do on a larger scale. If you ever want to go back to the mill scale/blacksmith/wrought iron greyish-black finish, it only takes heating the steel up to a dull red glow and then dunking it in water. Any of these oxide layers can be protected with oil or wax and will last pretty much indefinitely indoors, even with the occasional spill or two.
Hi Tamara. Today was my record day. I managed to see all your videos. I can only say thank you. I am no longer young, but I am still a professional framer, but mostly a photographer and painter. Thanks again, you are kind beautiful, and you explain things in a way that even I can understand them. You speak like a machine gun, and sometimes my poor Englishman loses his temper. For a few days now, too, I have been trying to create another laboratory, within the one of frames. for fun. Unfortunately I am buying not big equipment, but decent ones. Times are difficult. I want to send you your 3 children, and your husband, my sincere greetings from Capri. A small island in Italy. Hello. Alexander
Great job on this! I don't think that your "roll up chair" was a failure. You learned from it and passed that information on to us. You are killing it and inspiring people to work out of the "comfort zone". As always, Thanks for sharing!
I just love how your projects are so personal. Most channels are just business of selling stuff.. It's very refreshing. It's what TH-cam was designed for.
Love the fact that you are not afraid to fail and share. Not that you failed, but you were uncertain, which is how we all feel when trying something new.
I always think that diy projects like this are 25% skill and 75% courage. You clearly have the right skills and enough courage to be successful with these creative ideas. Really nice work here!
The steel is a really nice touch. I'm curious to see how the Titan X holds up long term, I've only ever used cold press veneer glue and switching to something with a shorter dry time would be convenient.
I love each time I finish a project and things have worked out well; it feels really good. But the glow your on your face when you completed this and talked about it was very heart felt, the excitement of your kids must have made you feel very proud. And that little dance before getting the kids was priceless. Really good project and job well done. I think you will love learning to weld.
That anxiety you feel right before a big step that has no easy outs if it gets messed up, and then it WORKS... a big part of the draw for me in woodworking. so satisfying.
I much prefer the way you handle sponsorships, watching the busy/mindless work is much more entertaining than b-roll of a person pretending to listen to an audiobook
It's great how comfortable you are with your tools and skills. It is very inspiring to see you try things that you aren't sure are going to work, even when they don't always pan out. Thanks for the great content!
For vinyl flooring I have used a 2x4 wrapped with low pile carpet as a smoother to get air bubbles out. Love how you show your oopsies, we all learn more when there is an issue, if it all goes perfect, or we think it does, you don’t get to use your trouble solving skills .
@@3x3CustomTamar You've got 14 dados (top & bottom ends of 7 steel plates), all of which would have to distort for the system to rack. Sturdy design, looks cool!
I was also concerned about racking. Perhaps though if the steel pieces were at slightly different angles so they couldn't all "fold" together? It might make a cool effect too :)
@@jessicav2031 You only need 2 opposing each other anywhere along the piece at 5 degrees or more would be enough, 'V' out or 'V' in, together or apart. Great idea.
I wasn't going to watch the video completely because it was so long, but I'm glad I did. Your so inspiring, innovative, and willing to go beyond your personal limits! It was so helpful that you showed your "mistakes" along with the success story. Love is a powerful word but how I feel about this video is pretty close. Thank you SO MUCH!
Hey! I'm literally just starting out as a wood-work hobbyist, and I got introduced to your channel through the Great Guitar build-Off. I'm so grateful for your videos! You have an accessible way of working, and I really appreciate how much you take time to talk through your mistakes/things you learned that could have gone better. I'm grateful for you!
Flipping heck Tamar, this is so cool. What I love about your projects is the creativity you bring. Nothing’s out of the box, it just comes out of your head. Your ideas open the door for the rest of us to walk through after you.
Hi Tamar, This is a nice addition to your home, I love the combination of wood and steel. It was nice to see your twin sister, but she doesn't like working and talks a lot. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷
I love the emotional journey in this vid. The moment of horror at the mistake. The happy dance at the end. The family celebration for the success of the project. It’s got all the ups and downs and tropes of a Hollywood blockbuster.
I don't live in the north (any more), but I added heat to my shop this fall. That is a game changer. So much more comfortable to work out in a warm shop. Your bench/storage looks fantastic.
I love how you have no idea what you're doing half the time, but you're smart enough to plan ahead and figure the rest out as you're going. I really enjoy your content and find your desire to try new things inspiring. New subscriber unlocked.
That was fantastic. I took a welding class two years ago because I want to mix metal with wood. I love this no welding solution. I just bought a welder over xmas. I have not used it yet still working on setting up the space for it. I love your work.
That's an amazing piece of furniture. Looks natural and industrial _and_ minimal at the same time. I like seeing makers encounter problems and work through them. Keeps it real. Very inspiring for the up-and-coming makers. 😁
The Industrial design looks awesome. I appreciate the new techniques and products in this video that I've never seen before. It's a joy to grow along with you.
You always think things through. I’ve learned to trust your process and your material selections. I often choose your examples over others because I find yours so easy to follow and have confidence in your choices. Keep up the great work.
I can't explain how I am so happy about how real your content is. I subscribed from your chair video and watching this one... I'm a life long subscriber. Well done!
I love how you actually show the making from start to finish, with all the mistakes you might have done, plus you telling why you did what you did. I wish one day I have a garage and I can actually buy some tools and do some woodworking. I have plenty of ideas, but I lack the skill and the tools. Also I do hope you get to take part in the Great Guitar Buildoff of 2021!
I avoided watching this one because I thought I wasn't interested in the project. Just had a few minutes and watched, thinking you usually have something interesting. Omg. Love it! Inspiring!
Good looks, talent and a real DIY home shop unlike many other channels with their Sawstops, Festool and Woodpecker tools that most can’t afford. Keep it up with those fun projects Tamar! 👍🏼🔨🪚
I just found your channel earlier today from the roll up chair and I've been binging all your videos and I am absolutely in love with your content. Even though before now I haven't been into woodworking, your excitement and passion truly is contagious. You are doing a great job here, keep up the good work!
You are a wonder, Tamar. Your projects consistently show such creativity and great design. And you approach everything with such humility and enthusiasm, you make it a great pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you.
Hey Tamar, another great build. The weather looked awful and building in your home is not the best but useful to be able to. The mix of steel and wood looks great, hope the kids enjoy it. Thanks for sharing
Your level of woodworking is so far beyond mine that I often get lost watching your videos but I always love seeing your finished projects. I try to pick up tips as you go along, hopefully one day I can achieve a 10th of your level. Inspiring.
That's really cool Tamar. Solid timber would have been very expensive so veneering was the right call and achieved the desired result. Very well done. It's a "YES" from me.
Just a thought - I know you weren't making this commercially, or suggesting anyone does, but... the time taken in constructing the plywood assembly, plus veneering and edgebanding well outweighs the difference in material costs between two big oak planks and the other bits. Counting time as having a cost obviously. Your roller stand would come in super handy milling 10 foot bits of oak as well (and two person lift as well). Another fascinating project Tamar. Your on-camera musing and angst make it all so real.
Yeah for sure. I could have done this super quick with hardwoods. But I didn’t want to spend that kind of money on this... That’s the beauty of building it yourself 😉
I also like the combination of steel and wood and appreciate that you shared doing a piece that is so beautiful with no welding. I, too, have combined indoors, outdoors, and shop. To meet a challenge deadline once, I assembled a door on my bed because it was raining. That was a hoot!
I just love your energy and how you show the whole process, little mistakes and what you would have done differently. It just makes it that much more relatable and makes me feel like I might be able to do achieve that as well. Thank you!
That actually came out fantastic. Never would have thought of using metal like that. A lot of your project and tools are very interesting, can't wait for spring to start copying.
Epic outtake of having started the glue up on the wrong side. Also discovering the pencils and zoom in on them. Just great work on the video storytelling in addition to the great fun of your various projects.
I probably watch way too many build videos on TH-cam and this is one of the finest I have seen. Thanks for all the great tips and jigs and creativity and "build with what you got" and the courage to give it a go :). I loved the look when you realize you have forgotten the veneer :). Seems like I experience that exact sinking feeling everyday in the shop and I thought it was just me. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. Saw the article about you in Woodcraft magazine. Thanks again,
Great project, Tamar. That was quite an undertaking for one person especially with the running back and forth. Glad it worked out so well. Take care. Bill
Поздравляю с 8 Марта!!! В этот день искренне желаю вам Дальнейших Творческих Успехов, Оставаться ВСЕГДА-ВСЕГДА Такой же Молодой, Красивой и Желанной!!!
Your attitude is so awesome!! I found your channel this morning and I've watched so many of your videos, I really enjoy that your videos have so much personality! Lots of love
Great job as always!! Seeing you go back and forth between your house and garage in that snow makes me remember how blessed I am to have a heated building in these cold Indiana winters!
Thank you Tamar for taking us through your thought process and your design logic Love the finished article and learnt more than I thought I would have expected.
The bench looks great. Thanks you for posting. I'm working on an entertainment center for a friend. He wanted an oil finish without additives. Thank you for that recommendation too!
It was very therapeutic watching this video. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one to make mistakes! Also I always like starting on the backside while I’m learning something. I the best woodworkers are just better at hiding their mistakes than the rest of us.
You have this perfect combination of a great sense of design, problem solving skills and determination. It's a joy to watch you work
So awesome to hear
I absolutely agree on that.
Wanted to thank you for always being so humble and open about your mistakes, makes the content that much better. You're awesome!

Yes it is! #JKM, just received my stop block in France, it’s awesome.. 🙏🏼
Loved the reaction from your kids.
Oh thank god it was only the wrong side you were screwing into. My first thought was that you had screwed the whole thing straight into the floor! :D
😂😂😂 that would have been funny
that was my first thought too!
That was honestly my first thought too. Lol
I know that look too well, because I see it almost every time I try and build something...
That was my first thought too... Screw length is everything when working on surfaces you value. LOL

This is my first time watching one of your videos. And I'm so glad to see someone else using walrus oil. That stuff is amazing!
It is great stuff!
Just a thought - I know you weren't making this commercially, or suggesting anyone does, but... the time taken in constructing the plywood assembly, plus veneering and edgebanding well outweighs the difference in material costs between two big oak planks and the other bits. Counting time as having a cost obviously. Your roller stand would come in super handy milling 10 foot bits of oak as well (and two person lift as well). Another fascinating project Tamar. Your on-camera musing and angst make it all so real.
Yeah for sure. I could have done this super quick with hardwoods. But I didn’t want to spend that kind of money on this... That’s the beauty of building it yourself 😉
I also like the combination of steel and wood and appreciate that you shared doing a piece that is so beautiful with no welding. I, too, have combined indoors, outdoors, and shop. To meet a challenge deadline once, I assembled a door on my bed because it was raining. That was a hoot!
Hahaha! Do what you gotta do!
I just love your energy and how you show the whole process, little mistakes and what you would have done differently. It just makes it that much more relatable and makes me feel like I might be able to do achieve that as well. Thank you!
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Turned out great! No surprise you - and your family - were so happy with it!
Thanks so much! It was excited to see my kids as excited as I was. Ha
totally amazing. i could not "see" what the final vision was until the very end. when it was all done - it was perfect.
I had this in my head the whole time. I’m so happy it all came together like it did!
That actually came out fantastic. Never would have thought of using metal like that. A lot of your project and tools are very interesting, can't wait for spring to start copying.
Thanks! Yeah! I’ve had this idea fir a while. Glad I finally got to test it out
Epic outtake of having started the glue up on the wrong side. Also discovering the pencils and zoom in on them. Just great work on the video storytelling in addition to the great fun of your various projects.
I probably watch way too many build videos on TH-cam and this is one of the finest I have seen. Thanks for all the great tips and jigs and creativity and "build with what you got" and the courage to give it a go :). I loved the look when you realize you have forgotten the veneer :). Seems like I experience that exact sinking feeling everyday in the shop and I thought it was just me. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. Saw the article about you in Woodcraft magazine. Thanks again,
Awesome to hear! So glad you like it! We all have those moments. Ha
Congrats on the win, it's streamlined and elegant.
Thanks so much!
Great project, Tamar. That was quite an undertaking for one person especially with the running back and forth. Glad it worked out so well. Take care.

Yeah. My back hurts... ha. Thanks!
This womans motto is "If I was in my shop" and I love it!
Ha. Yup.
Поздравляю с 8 Марта!!! В этот день искренне желаю вам Дальнейших Творческих Успехов, Оставаться ВСЕГДА-ВСЕГДА Такой же Молодой, Красивой и Желанной!!!
What a Winner! Still always amazed at your willingness to go to the edge with new concepts. Great job Tamar!
Thanks so much!
Your attitude is so awesome!! I found your channel this morning and I've watched so many of your videos, I really enjoy that your videos have so much personality! Lots of love
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Inspiring project with a proper build-up when you epoxied the top onto the steel pieces - and I really enjoyed the resolution. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Great job as always!! Seeing you go back and forth between your house and garage in that snow makes me remember how blessed I am to have a heated building in these cold Indiana winters!
It’s the little things we forget to appreciate
wood and steel, what a beautiful combination. looks amazing
Thanks so much! I’m loving the combo
Thank you Tamar for taking us through your thought process and your design logic Love the finished article and learnt more than I thought I would have expected.
Awesome to hear!
The bench looks great. Thanks you for posting. I'm working on an entertainment center for a friend. He wanted an oil finish without additives. Thank you for that recommendation too!
Awesome. Good luck with it! Just remember about the dry time. It’s worth the wait though
It was very therapeutic watching this video. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one to make mistakes! Also I always like starting on the backside while I’m learning something. I the best woodworkers are just better at hiding their mistakes than the rest of us.
Glad you liked it!
Ты классная и все классно делаешь !!! Здорово, просто замечательно!!!! Очень классный формат ! И изумительные результаты ! Привет из России!!!
Can't wait for the fall series when you insulate your shop and install heat!
Haha! 🤞🤞
I was taught to start veneer in the middle and work to the ends.
Beautiful work.
BOOM! Good job! I liked how the top piece locked into the steel uprights with a satisfying "thump".
Thanks! Yes! So satisfying!!!
Always great designs, good technical skill and funny, down-to-earth delivery. Thank you for great videos!
So awesome to hear. Thanks!
Wow that looks great. I was worried about the side to side shearing but you said it was fine. Nice job.
Thanks! I was worried too! And surprised at how sturdy it was
I love wood working, making cabinet since my childhood..awesome girl carpenter..
Thanks Ma'am for notice..I'm from Philippines.
Great video. This is how our living room looked like for various veneering projects! Supportive spouse is key for that workflow.
Haha yup! It definitely helps ☺️
You did a great job, Tamar! Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
