Ffs, this is the most ridiculous series of videos ever made. It’s one f’ing drawer man!! What the hell??
Please, please, please share with me the name of the person holding the gun to your head making you watch? Who cares what you think? Go be a loser elsewhere ya bozo.
Go away Memo guy. This is a true professional craftsman sharing real life techniques. By showing his mistakes, he also teaches how to fix them. Those lessons are pure gold and learning those is the path to being a much better woodworker. I hope he never stops his format of video and his lust for helping the wounded heroes. Thank you Rob!
You live in a dark hole... wish you best memo1269. I hope you find meaning. Please do pick up a solid hobby that finds gratification. Godspeed bud.
Beste Rob: don’t waste your time with those who don’t deserve it. We are many here following your experience. Greetings from Nederland.
Critical people often hide behind a screen name. I prefer to let my name be visible when complimenting, criticizing (constructively) or asking questions because I'm careful not to respond in a way that I would be embarrassed to have people know it was me.
Please don’t rush. What else do we have to keep us occupied? When you do finally wrap this up I will go into withdrawal. Thanks again for staying late every night and bringing us this entertainment.
Pure gold dust. Tenacity and determination - remember it's not what you produce, but the way you do it. Only produce perfection, no matter what the cost, and the knowledge and experience will be off the chart - and ours will grow too by soaking this up. Keep producing these with included mistakes, Rob - priceless. Nobody anywhere ever made as high quality fine furniture as this without making mistakes, and often in strings, like this. Nobody. Long live the Purple Heart Project.
Please don't let a few people ruin it for the rest of us. Some people may be impatient but thousands of others are watching and enjoying and learning daily. Thank you again.
I don't want you to skip recording stuff just to get this series over faster. Watching your problem solving process is very helpful for carrying over to my own shop issues. I periodically end up with "design features" on pieces that started as a way of hiding or fixing something I messed up and seeing how you work through those things is a great learning tool.
I'm not in a hurry. I'm loving the education I'm getting from these vids. I'm retired and in stay at home mode. At 63yrs old, with any luck, I've got about 20yrs to spare. Keep going.
Me also, I'm retired and 73. I love this stuff.
I showed the writing box to my wife, she loved it, and we loved the hinge, so we are going to buy the hinge making tool you sell. Thanks for everything you do Rob!
Most expensive drawer ever! Love you sharing your expertise with us.
Really love the video series and attention to detail on the drawers. True craftsmanship. Really appreciate the transparency in demonstrating fix techniques for mistakes that we are all bound to make!
It is a true pleasure to watch an artist at work.
No hurry here Rob, loving it . I usually don’t see the episode until the next morning so I call it “coffee with the Cosman’s “ lol
Thanks for sticking with it, we are committed and here with you for whatever it takes
"Shoot Jake where did I put that..." You just described every step of all my projects!! And that's why this is such a good series!!
I can write only on behalf of myself, so give this comment whatever weight appeals to you. For me, the value if this series of videos is not learning how to construct dovetail drawers. Rather, I give the highest marks to the study these episodes gives to the thought process of a master craftsman. Nowhere else have I seen not only how to undertake a project, but also the painstaking process by which that project is thought through and corrections made on the fly. I won't be so frustrated with my own workshop shortcomings in the future. I will miss these insights when Rob and the crew find that they can no longer devote so much effort to creating and uploading videos like these.
Dont let the rest of us have to suffer and do without just because someone else doesn't have the time or patience to watch it.
Look after yourself and eachother Rob , and take care
Thanks Dave
I don’t think this series is taking too long at all. Each episode reveals several tidbit of technique. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned a great deal by how Rob deals with issues that arise during the process.
I haven't lost the faith Rob, thank you so much for all you do
I'm too emotionally invested in this blasted drawer.
me too😂
Ah, my nerves...
Ahhh, take your time!!! I enjoy watching the videos!!!! You and Jake are great!!!!
Rob, your patience is at a level beyond mind. After seeing the wobble at the jointer again, I probably would've tested this piece's boomerang abilities. :-)
This is a great ride and I'm in for the long haul~! I'll watch as much as you can publish on this channel~! It's great learning the task, but it's also another step up understanding how to cope with mistakes. Great series and awesome instructional info (as always)~!!
Yes, I too am in no hurry. Enjoying the videos.
I hardly leave a comment, but in this case I have to. Thanks Cosman Team! A simple but sincere and heartfelt thanks. For the videos, the tipps, the jokes, the stories. Everything. Again, thank you all!
Most welcome, thank you for commenting.
Its amazing that you didn't curse and send that thing through the drywall. I would have gone and gotten a cold beer, whilst thinking about setting fire to that drawer. Love this whole series. I've learnt a lot pushing for that Perfect fitment.
This never gets boring. 😎
Rob there will always be THAT ONE in every group, even if the group is 6 people. I still can’t figure out why they just can’t scroll on by if they don’t like the video. Must have had a bad childhood. Keep doing what you do, you make a big difference in a positive way for a lot of people me included
Definitely not dragging it out. The level of detail is fantastic.
Echo all the comments about taking your time and showing the detail. I just can’t help but wonder how mere mortals have any hope of crafting a Cosman-standard piston fit drawer! I look forward to the episode every day.
This series has been awesome, look forward to watching the new episode everyday. Hope there's another one while we are still in lock down. Cheers mate.
Always at least one person who feels the need to make a negative comment on invaluable , free, educational videos. If you don’t like them, don’t watch them. Thanks rob for being passionate about what you do!!
I think the rocking is due to the aircraft wheel ruts in the deck of that carrier! I’m awestruck by the level of precision in your work and inspired by the high standard you hold yourself to - thanks for modeling that kind of integrity - may we all achieve it one day! Also - has Jake got any drawers he’s made that he could show? We can tell from his commentary that he’s probably got mad skills as well!
okay everyone, be kind to me here but I wouldn't mind seeing some of Jake's drawers either!
@@befmx31 Yup and we don't mean UNDERWEAR
Rob in the mood of searching how making a drawer😂😂😂 nice to see you as a human Rob, love it, like you keep it in fun and easy, don't make too much about what you sail, make about the love you have for your job and the big heart you have, keep going whatever happen, hope a day I will come from Switzerland to see you close enough to thank for your Job and honesty! I m a woodworker and I wish to share like you do! Well done Dr Rob👍
Awesome videos! Keep it up!
Rob's new favorite flat surface is the 16"General. That jointer is Beautiful.
Wouldn't it be a bummer if he found out it had a slight twist at that end?
No, this is not taking too long. I enjoy every single minute and I now look forward to the video appearing on my subscription list.
That's it, I am cancelling my subscription to Netflix. This is where the action is!
I watched both ads all the way through. Remember, that’s how Rob gets paid for providing this great content to us. Watch all TH-cam ads all the way through for Rob!
Love watching these Rob! Take your time, don't rush! I wonder sometimes, if someone like you with your exceptional skills and knowledge, that a hack like me doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting a drawer to work out. Also, you have the patience of Jobe as I would have tossed the whole thing in the scrap bin by now! Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers.
You said it yourself. If you don't like what you see then don't watch. Keep doin' what you're doin'. These glitches happen to all if us in the real world. I love seeing how you figure out a correction or work around.
I like hearing Jake's comments.
Another great video........Thanks..Rob!
Your work is impeccable. You as well as us turners must remember wood moves and that could have happened during the time it took from the cut to the glue up. It's going to b fine. Keep on smiling.
When they made time they made lots of it. Keep doing what you're doing, it's just right.
Titebond 3 is your preferred glue? how about hide glue and its advantages? your thoughts? (Titebond makes a liquid form).
Thanks for the series, no rush, we're in it for the long haul 👍
I agree, don't rush. I don't think you're dragging this out.
Don't let anyone rush your talent.
From 29.30 I had fingers crossed on both hands.
Your not dragging this out, woodworking is all about managing and fixing issues
Awesome series. Don't rush - seeing this done for real is fantastic. How much of the alignment issue do you think stems from referencing the drawer opening which wasn't perfectly square?
Love the lap desk you showed at the start of the video. I think I may try to make one of those. Could really use something like that! Thanks
I need to start using it, maybe modernise it to accommodate an iPad. Or better yet, throw the iPad away and go retro-paper and pen!
Yes, get rid of that i pad. I love my pen and paper!
I know the drawer bottom slot was cut on the table saw in the interest of time (even though we're not in a rush), but wondering if a demo using a plough plane or one of those drawer bottom planes that were shown earlier in the video would have been nice alternative...and quieter. Drawer is coming along nicely. (edit: oops, commented before watching whole video, hope it works)
There’s still an audio problem. Rob still sounds Canadian. 🤓
Ron Michaelsen 😂😂😂😂😂
I like that comment!
You pronoonced soonds wroong
I like the way he said "OUT".
And how he says hoose. I love the Canadian speech though, and I enjoy hearing him on his videos.
I know the rabbet trick works well but I’m wondering if you’ve ever tried a dovetail alignment board?. David Barron is the most common design I’ve seen used for this but I’m not sure if the original idea is his. Maybe something like this would work better where the stock is narrower leaving less registration surface on the rabbet? Great videos I’ve learned tons watching this series.
No wonder Rob never made a living from making furniture, all joking aside fantastic viewing and great perseverance!
You need a kerfmaker Rob! Perfect for that application
I bet one pass over that aircraft carrier would get that wobble out. I'm enjoying this take your time fingers crossed till tomorrow morning.
Rob, wouldn't be more stable to put another piece of wood of same thickness opposite to the drawer, to support the plane.
Great in depth video by the way. I hope you do more like this (I can't go anywhere) :)
As a beginner I'm Loving the series it's got me motivated to get to practicing dovetails which I always saw as a little intimidating. I have a question though, I don't know i I missed your reasoning, but I notice you don't do a dry run of putting the drawer together first before gluing, is there a reason for this?
Rob a thought is there a slim chance after you prepared the walnut front / back it could have developed a very slight twist? It would be interesting to check them with winding sticks. That could cause the issue you had.
Don’t listen to the hater ( I pity them and their sad life) take as long as you want.
Take care.
I wondered about the problem so I went back and watched the earlier video again where you marked and cut the dovetails. I make no claim to be anything other than a total novice, so I may be way off, but when you offset the boards by the saw kerf did you reference off the top edgge? I kind of lost track of the top and bottom surfaces as you moved the boards around, so I may be totally wrong on which edge you used and maybe the top was the correct surface. I'm here to learn and I have no problem with someone telling me I'm completely off base. I hope to be able to put together the tools and make it to a training the hand workshop at some point in the future so I can tackle dovetails with confidence instead of fear.
Hey Rob! Any possibility the inexplicable twist in the drawer is due to the amount of time in between marking and cutting the joints and the final assembly? I’m guessing if you were doing this on your own, off camera, you could complete it in the span of one day. Since you’re doing it here over a number of days, is it possible the wood has moved ever so slightly in that time? Wouldn’t take much.
Real drama. Real suspense. Cliffhanger ending. How will our hero overcome this latest challenge? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode.
Rob loving the series, even the wife knows the primary and tersary bevels now. Just a thought but with the drawer front not being straight is the twist introduced when you are cutting the dovetails at right angles to the bench and not the end face?
Idea for a new series: finish all of the unfinished projects and repairs around the shop. You’re always saying, “I’ll get around to it someday,” and I always think, “No he won’t.” 😂
Love the video! One question: how do you sharpen a marking gauge? I dropped mine on a hard floor and it's got a ding in it now. Is it salvageable??
Yep, you only use a small part of the circumference at any time. Rotate it. To sharpen, remove the cutter and face hone it on a flat stone.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Thank you! Yes it currently leaves a line like "--- --- ---" on the wood, so I pick it up and re-mark to fill in the gaps. I'll try face honing it, thanks!
I'm not in any hurry...one of the best things in my life since retirement is the absence of production pressure. When I was still working I sometimes felt compelled to ask my supervisors if they wanted the job "done fast" or "done right".
I'm a novice in this so please excuse the question but why do you glue up straight away. Why not fit dry first to see how it all fits? And I think it's great that I saw how to fix a wonky draw. Thanks
I’m in no hurry . Who said that? I just want my surup and tee shirt .haha I swear I hold my breath on every cut now.
Rob - What do you think of the dedicated shooting board planes by Lie Nielsen and Veritas?
Jorgeson clamp might work better on next one . You wouldn’t need anything underneath table block wise.
The suspense is killing me!
the process is killing me!
Rob - Not being critical and I may be wrong but it appears that you may have cut the front of the drawer as fulll through dovetails and not the 1/2 blind dovetails as on the first drawer. This is not meant to be a negative comment and if I am wrong I apologise.
I’m old enough to remember when people would write with paper and pen 😕
Hi Rob, am I missing something, I thought these were half-blind?
He's going to veneer the front with a piece resawn off the first drawer attempt. That keeps the grain match across the front of the desk.
Thanks Joe, I feared the worst briefly!
Looks like the little gremlin is having a field day messing with your head. I can see why woodworkers drink a lot..
How do you sharpen the marking gauge wheel? Thanks for all the knowledge!
Unscrew it and lay it flat down on your stones. Circle it around a bit.
Isn't there another pair of hands to help you with that clamping?
when you fit the drawer back you offset on the shooting board with metal gauge, isn't that the cause of all this?
Nope, the back and front need to be the same shape and size.
Hi Rob, I am not being disrespectful but slow down a tiny bit. Old saying measure twice cut once! Have a plan before you start. The red paint on your beautiful timber from the throat plate from your table saw could have been avoided by using masking tape!
I love your series but hate see you rush and make mistakes! Take your time smell the roses and enjoy your day.
Silly question, but is that jointer top perfectly flat?
cbryantbear not a silly question, but one that you need to consider what answer you’re looking for. That Jointer is definitely flatter than my bench and my No. 8 Jointer, and it’s a little more flat than my tablesaw (because of the wings added on). So, even though it might not be “perfectly flat” it’s the best in my shop, and so that’s what I have my standard set at.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Ok. Thank You!!
Obviously the jointer table is out !
That is a time when it is difficult to hold onto your patience
If your having trouble with the videos taking to much of your time, then switch to something else. The rest of us are enjoying them.
Who's in a rush?
Who cares how long it takes? There is literally nothing to do or places to be, unless your State is opening up. Lucky you. Perfection takes time. Crap can be mass produced.
Seems like you would dry fit those boards?
Painful to watch you run out of hands but it makes me feel better that I am not the only one.
Might sand the problem areea
Half Blind?
my dear God....not again...lol
I wanted to try to make handmade drawers like this but after all of these problems from a pro there is no way i would even try it
Wrong effect! Give it a go.
And that right there highlights the dichotomy of this medium. Whilst providing legitimate content to interested parties, someone else sits there and watches something he obviously has little interest in, making him an armchair expert with a voice in the process. Me personally, I work with wood and appreciate the standard to which Rob works (I thought it was just me that uses feeler gauges!). Yes, I find it frustrating sometimes, as others have commented on, and I cringe when the penny has drops that he's erred, just as I do - and probably you do too!
This idiot though has grown up in an environment where limited syntax skills and rudeness are considered acceptable! He'll hopefully liberate himself and go and address his insecurities by watching something involving smoking tyres or half naked women, or both.
Let's look at it this way; hypothetically, if I was watching some fool assemble and disassemble a rifle only to go out and shoot at hapless animals for 'sport' for 22 episode, I'd be yawning for England, however, whilst I might comment on the futility of his activities, I'd respect that persons right to live out his fantasies... I just wouldn't watch to a point where I had to be obnoxious!
Rob, you do a good job! I'm sure you don't, but don't take it to heart; let's just ignore the distractors, crack on and get the drawers done!
Incidentally, why did you stop promoting the PHP stuff? I have a diagnosis of PTSD from my time in the police in the UK, If your guys have similar issues to me then you must do all you can to help! Again, if this attracts negativity, then so be it.
