    ...just gorgeous! And, I absolutely love flexing my brain - understanding of what is possible - by your non-standard build/methodology!!! Thank you : )

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    I really love your work. The blend of tools between the ones you made and have bought to the way you make everything seem so simple with beautiful results.

  • @ronnieboyett5413
    @ronnieboyett5413 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are about the only "maker" anymore that has gotten back to just sharing the build. This in my opinion is the best method to teach someone, let me see you do it and then I can do it. Thanks for your videos that allow the hobbyist to be taught.

  • @JohnnyUmphress
    @JohnnyUmphress 6 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    That's what I love about your channel. You do really beautiful work without all the high tech precision jointery and expensive tools. Keep it simple.

      @IBuildItHome  6 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      I could probably get some kind of deal if I sucked up to the right people, but I've got too much of the starving artist complex to do that. Oh yeah, and integrity - I keep forgetting about that.

    I really respect how you take tools and make other tools from them. The table saw as a point. Your reasoning for building or making a joint etc etc is so good. I like the attitude of this will work as it is more than strong enough. This build was plainly very smart and well thought out. Great job. I am learning so much from you, thank you for that.

    "Woodworkers do, but we're not normal."
    Well said.
    Nice work, innovation, design, and commentary John!
    This is one of the many reasons I like your videos.
    You thinking in a "bigger box" than the norm, i.e. outside the box of most people, but within the confines of your own philosophy. Good stuff!

    • @invictu4488
      @invictu4488 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes we're not quite normal... I obsessed over the finishing of a gift I'd made for a friend because I couldn't decide if a lacquer finish would look better than just staining it. So I did both! 🤣

  • @jhc500
    @jhc500 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    One my favorites from recent vids. The editing/commentary was seriously on point here, 12 minutes flew by like nothing and the footage was packed with info even beyond what you covered in the narration.

  • @thegentlemanmaker
    @thegentlemanmaker 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow John! Those are really nice doors. Having you as an inspirational guide and teacher is improving what I believe I can do - now I have no excuses to try making doors for my own house.

    @steveiv9250 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sir it was a pleasure watching your video very informative , sounds like you were really enjoying yourself. Loved the biscuit joint idea, also the small clamps you made from the 2x, and not to forget the zero clearance jigs you made for your mitre saw was ingenious. Thank you for sharing.

  • @devogle7905

    Thanks John, Beautiful work. I loved your statement, " Woodworkers are not normal people". I always like be abnormal, left me a lot more options in life.

  • @BillTiemann
    @BillTiemann 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job John. I have made literally hundreds of cabinet doors and have approached it using various methods but I have never thought of doing it the way you did it here. Looks like a good workable method. I really like the spline you added to the joint for strength. Excellent work. Also, thanks for the tip on dealing with the errant pin nail. I'll have to try that technique next time

  • @hazembata
    @hazembata 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Those came out very nicely. The biscuit as a spline is a great idea.
    I dig it.

      @thomaskleinbauer6518 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, but the miters in the close-up shots were cut with the miter saw ;-) Overall still better and more precise than anything I ever produced... or ever will. Amazing craftsmanship!

  • @forseeit
    @forseeit 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really enjoyed the video. I love the creative crap - the floor mats to keep work from moving while sanding; the clamps from 2x4's - all EXTREMELY resourceful. As I build stuff, I keep coming back to your videos for ideas (especially when I'm trying not to overbuild - like trying to use 1/2" ply for shop cabinets instead of 3/4" - your ideas and techniques are helpful). Some of your stuff looks like it will not hold up, but you definitely seem honest enough to own up to stuff that falls apart. You made me a big believer in glue (though I still won't use construction adhesive - but that's becasue I find it too messy)

  • @murphymmc
    @murphymmc 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great work John! I used to do similar fixes on the pin nails and other pneumatically fastened nails but now I just bend them over a few times until they work harden and break off(23 ga. to 16ga.). So far, a 100% of the time they break off below the wood surface with no tool marks and no trying to grab with a pliers or vise grip, with that being said I'll probably experience the exception some day. It really doesn't leave anything more than the original tear out and is much faster. Give it a test on some scrap, I think you'll find similar results. Keep up the great work, I always look forward to your vids.

    • @IBuildItHome
      @IBuildItHome  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You might want to look closer at where the pin was, since this is a pretty good example of the exception you are looking for. Of course I've wagged nails back and forth to break them off, but that wouldn't be a good fix here.
      I driven hundreds of thousands of nails, so I think I have a reasonable grasp of the ins and outs :)

  • @JamesBiggar

    Excellent. I like this method.

  • @eboyce24
    @eboyce24 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I really like the design, and thanks for sharing your work. I was looking for cabinet-making basics and came across this one.
    I originally thought that a back piece could be glued to a front accent frame as the most basic form. I realized that might not be the sturdiest construction though. For your design, I saw you routed out the gap on two separate pieces to give the front frame piece a nice touch, but it looked like the end result was basically what I was thinking in the first place, except kind of done in reverse--with the back piece attached to the miniature accent piece rather than the full accent frame for the main connection, but connected to the main frame on the edge. If you go with the two-piece accent (which does give those nice 45 lines), would routing out a gap on the main frame's rear to match the depth of the back piece make sense to provide a seating arrangement, so the connection at the edge of the back piece is connected on two sides (side and front) to the main frame as well as to the smaller accent piece? I get that cabinet doors don't typically get pressure applied to the main panel, but just from a sturdiness/adhesive perspective?
    I also thought I'd say that I really like that design, but I was thinking that it would look nice with those miniature pieces rounded/rising at where they connect at the corners. Not sure how to do that but if I get around to building I'll try it 😀
    Edit--oh yeah, and those corner half-moon biscuits are a really neat idea!

  • @forthofers

  • @rvamaker5152
    @rvamaker5152 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job John! The door frame method is brilliant. One thing I noticed is how you prepare the stock,(like most I've seen on these type videos), when you joint the face and put it down and reach for another. How about; joint one face and flip it around and joint the adjacent edge. After you finish those parts plane the faces to thickness, then reset the planer and plane the rough edges. Finally plane all the styles and rails to final width. My last pass is on the finishing speed that leaves a very smooth edge. To me that seems the most efficient. Not only are we woodworker a strange bunch but very opinionated!
