    The fact you used a pocket hole makes me like your work even more. I believe all joinery has its purpose and place. Just as unsightly nails were perfect on the bottom, the pocket holes were also perfect in their place. Cheers, and keep the videos coming!

    When making my own dowel pins, I usually run the entire length of the dowel rod along the disc sander to create a flat on the pins. This allows for any air or excess glue to come out without cracking the wood. Cheap plywood is often "porous" enough where it is not much of a problem, but certainly can make assembly easier.
    Also, the assembly of the cabinet with all those dowel pins certainly required the doweling jig, quick thinking, and quick working. You pulled it off wonderfully. Always a joy to see what you will come up with next. Keep the videos coming.

    Mattihas,
    1- Beautiful child...congratulations to you both.
    2- I like your lumber supplier, same as mine. I carry a rechargeable drill, driver bits and small sledge in my van at all times for "lumber selection". Also a fine place to "shop" for drawer guides, drawer pulls, glass and mirrors.
    3- Nice simple jig for short term application.
    4- Back cutting laminate surfaces first to limit tear-out.
    5- Good tip on slipping a piece of material against guide, in cut off sled to square up material, then remove to align piece against cut guide.
    6- like the no fuss efficient manner in which you "set the depth" of the drill bit.
    7- clever jig to repeat cut dowels to length
    8- good tip on aggressively tapering the dowels for easier alignment on final glue up.
    9- Use of pocket holes.... Too funny!!...you do love to "poke the bear"....equals sense of humor and entertainment value.
    10- And ending comments on changes you would make to improve said jig next time.
    This my friend is why I never miss one of your videos no matter what your making.
    Thanks

    First off, loved the video as always, It is one of the highlights of my week to see your new video. Second, what is with all the negativity in the comments. If you don't like the shelf or think the shelf will not last long enough, nobody cares. Matthias was nice enough to take the time to make an entertaining video that was better than most of the crap on TV today. He used scraps and garbage, and the end product was nice. On top of that being a new dad takes a ton of time, he not only took the time to make a shelf for his child's books but also made a video of it. Keep it up, the haters just going to hate.

    @Campitor 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Nothing wrong with pocket holes if used judiciously in the correct application such as compression vs shear force. And to the dude that said Matthias' furniture looks "IKEA-ish" you need to understand that Matthias is an inventor/creator in the likes of Benjamin Franklin. Matthias is more interested in the practical application of science and invention versus the more esoteric parts of creativity and furniture building. But I would say that a lot of his builds are beautiful if you actually consider the genius of its design.
    Well done Matthias - another cool video with practical applications in woodworking.

    4:51 if there's anything I've learned from ikea crapniture; always put the dowels in the ends of the boards not in the side holes on the 'walls' -- the most likely hole to be too shallow (or packed with sawdust) will be the end-on ones. That way comparing heights on the deeper dowels lets me know they will all fit safely. (without punching through the side when I start hammering)

      +Nick Moore Usually marked on the bottle... Pot times, Open Times, Clamping Times...
      In the case of regular wood glue you normally have 10-15 minutes of open time depending on temperature and humidity. If you get past that, the glue will skin over and won't stick worth much of anything to anything. 15 minutes might seem like a lot, but getting glue everywhere you need it, assembling and clamping up the joint can take quite a bit of time.

      @@meelis79 The way dowels are used already make for a less than ideal joint. Pocket holes instead of clamps would have softened the joint even more.
      If, at all, drive some screwns through the sides, than mask the screw heads with plugs cut using a hole saw from some similarly looking wood. The result would be a much stronger joint.

    Man, way to find wood to recycle and save money (I mean the world). And that was a great example of a diy dowel jig for the side boards. There are really good subtle techniques that can help in the shop.

    I had to watch it a few times at 3:00 to see if you maintained the same index edge for the jig. This might not have been obvious to everyone, though probably it is. When working with this kind of jig if it isn't indexed consistently off say the front, the assembly can be a nightmare. If one eyeballs the jig one is likely to think of it but a really accurate jig can lull one a little. But the there are some small discrepancies.
    Krenov did his doweling with a wooden jig.
    About 30 years ago I made a similar case, I used biscuits at the time, and actually double stacked them for more area. It was a very tense assembly, plus there was one set of dovetails. I made the case for VHS cassettes, and now wish I had mostly used movable shelves.

    Haha, when nailing the bottom shelf, "nobody's gonna see" :D
    Yeah, nobody short of 53k people so far, sir, *WE SAW IT IN HD*!

    Excellent job recycling someone else's junk. That looks far better than most of the KD stuff you get these days.

      +Bigelow Brook Farm (Web4Deb) What is KD? Do you need to be American to understand this? I think there are lots of people watching this whose English is their second language.

      SE45CX Sorry. It's "Knock Down". The type of stuff you buy at Walmart of Ikea. ;-)

      +SE45CX It can also refer to Kiln Dried, Kraft Dinner, Kevin Durant and/or Khaki Drill.

      +WootTootZoot What about Bigelow states he meant knock down?

    Very nice. And pocket holes have their place. I liked this video. Thanks.

    I seriously doubt that shelf unit is going to hold more than 2,800 pounds of kid's books.
