i don't build my inlays like that bit by bit i put the whole image together on rice paper then just plop it in,rice paper up,outside i think its easier then one bit at a time(no including scribbling lol),sorts all your glue lines in one go no need to fiddle about balancing it later,,xxxx ooohh FESTOOL nice not cheap quality you get what you pay for if im thinking of new PTs i would need to use it a lot to invest in FS,S, i like the floating tracks dont need to clamp them down and the power extraction nice to

for one offs i never use routers by the time you've jigged up worked out the math could of roughed it out with a fosner bit and chisel making 4 10 then saves loads of time,i cant do half the stuff i used to ill health still plenty of stuff ive built around the house and friends relatives,to keep my eye in,i still have a good stock of old woods veneers hand-cut, that's the good thing about Europe we have thousands of years of history,where in the states its 450ish so not so easy to break out broken stuff down for repairs, like inlays,splicing into carvings, matching grains ect

could of just edged over that back gap with solid end-grain or veneer or blinded it with filler then lacquered it, its the back brother xx the veneer on tops really nice nice flow madulory rays maybe,, dont know about the leaves but it WAS YEARS AGO, we learn by doing brother,still nice and clean dont think u would use the high gloss polly varnish now,maybe shellac warmer softer,sorry i keep forgetting its years old ive been woodworking decades

that JB well you could tell it was a long tine ago,we only get better with practice Bob de wood xx if you love wood work aint work living the dream Mark ,,xxx nice clean inlays maybe sand shade the flowers for depth, im sure your well more sophisticated now ,,Liverpool uk ,xx

I bought the same exact plane last week. It's a good plane if you prepare it carefully and patiently. Mine's sole was crap. So I spent around 3 hours on 120 grit sandpaper to flatten the sole and another 15 mins to prepare the blade (the blade on mine was not that bad in a shape out of the box). It works like a charm now. Thanks for the video.

what type of glue do you think the manufacturer originally used?

Harbor Freight has a no questions asked return policy within 90 days and their lifetime warranty covers anything just hold onto your receipt. I typically laminate my receipts with packaging tape this way the letters don’t fade. These parallel clamps have worked wonders for cutting boards and things like that, I only have the 24 inch models.

This is very useful. It's no wonder that these dyes haven't taken off versus staying the amount of information that's out there on getting the colors you want is almost non-existent. I just ordered the keda powder kit, assuming that there would be instructions and found out there is no instructions even on their website. Honestly a little annoyed. It looks like those pre-made wood tone colors are the way to go rather than mixing from scratch RGB with no supporting data

The lock down on the stop is nice until you put on a sacrificial board. You'll need a slot the length of the board and a longer tool to reach the dovetail slider. (and BTW, the slot needed to move your stop around is where the sac board attached to the rail so...

Such a beautiful home. I wish the boys that enjoy this gem would learn to properly dust the wood. That is what the Greens architecture is all about. Thank you for this video. I am obsessed with the Gamble House and its nice to know this one is in the Bay Area. Again, thank you

Marc i'd be happy to take those pen kits and stoppers off your hands. Will even make you your own personal pen.

OMG Marc, we have an almost identical cat! Ours is Socks. Our timber farm was adopted by a litter of feral kittens. We have domesticated them. The only one that feel comfortable making the trek up to my shop (semi converted barn, WIP) is Socks. But if I use any power equipment, he bolts. Almost 30% of my shop time, if not more, is used for furniture repair & restoration. I like the challenge but wouldn't want to do it professionally

I was not impressed with Red One....But I use a machine to cut dove tails

BS in Biology here……only good for getting into Med school or picking a new career

Just FYI, there is no limit. That’s one thing harbor freight is really good about.

come on marc, love actually is a great film

This has been incredibly thorough, fair and helpful, thank you! I've used Rubio a number of times on furniture for my home, but the cost just hurts. I can't wait to give Natura a try for my current project!

Nope, unless it's mine

You could have made metal caps like on the front and it would be good for the life of the user and then some.

Greetings from more than 8 years in the future! I've been subscribed for a couple years now, but this is the first time I've seen this video. I love the general idea of not wasting scraps, and making something beautiful is the best way to do it.

Gotta love the man who will show you his bias before charging head first into testing.

You should review osmo 3099 cutting board oil.

Harvey is exactly why the most expensive option is not the best option.

Thanks

I like my Bessey. The Irwin pipe clamps are 👎🏽. My older craftsman one handed clamps are great in the larger sizes but not so much for the tiny ones. A have dome kobalt that push and pull with just a flip of a lever, they are very handy, I should have bought more of them.

I like it a lot

What a nice thing to do

Check the shop lighting. I have a Benjamin Moore store around the corner and EVERY thing in there is too green. I take samples and color chips outside to use daylight to match. This applies to the box stores too. Non-full spectrum bulbs, fluorescent, etc...

Hey Marc, thank you for this video. I’m curious if you still have all of those samples and especially curious if they still look the same. I’m a little freaked out by the thought of UV light messing up the color of my expensive wood and hard work.

"practices technique" on $250 slab of walnut. Lol. In my dreams. Good video. I've used this tool in the past. It's a lot of fun.

I purchased the Festool 578509 DOMINO Joiner DF 500 Starter-Set - Limited Edition for $1299 . Estimated delivery date 12/20/24 , I picked the DF 500 because it will fit better for what I do smaller projects and only 1 day a week available for shop time…..

What are the widths of the breadboard ends and the tenons that go into the breadboards? Why did you choose to use long continuous tenons rather than 5 shorter tenons with a continuous haunched tenon?

Why don't you use box joints? Aren't they a stronger joint?

I worked for a place called Rhoads Furniture in 1996 in Austin, TX repairing furniture...couldn't afford to stay, yet enjoyed repairing the funiture.

This would have been more valid with assorted wood types. Wood is distinctly different in regards to grain, density, etc. These all affect how the finishes are absorbed and retained.

, you funny , ha hahaha ha,, ,

Sooo.. Skip all this and use gel stain? Gotcha 😜

Good dude move. Enjoyed it.

I just put a block kit on my Grizzly G0555 LX I have had for a while. The blade is 3/4” wide and the way the adjustment works is similar. Maybe I am stupid or very gutsy, I very carefully adjusted the all the guides while the saw was on, except for the centering the blade on the wheel. I had not seen this video before. Saw works great.

How dit Durogrit hold up thus far? Does it chip or scratch easily? Or does it soak into the wood a few mm

That was very nice of you to fix the lady's husband's chair and share how you did it with everyone. Thank you

I have 6 of those chairs. They are old restaurant chairs from the ~1950's. They're super sturdy and normally take a beating. The casters on mine broke years ago and were never replaced which is why they probably lasted so long

Thanks Marc. I'm going to build one of these over the holidays.

Use a scroll saw if you have one?

I disagree from the very beginning. I’ve tried his method with the teeth at the center. The way he does it, the tension IS on the teeth. It works well enough with a narrow blade, because with that, it doesn’t really matter. But with a wider blade, it doesn’t work. You will get drift. The blade is no longer running parallel to itself. That is the rear of the blade on both sides of the wheel will run at a slight angle, meaning the rear edges will be closer to each other than the front will be. It’s a tiny amount, but it’s there and it’s stretching the front of the blade more than the rear of the blade. Anyway, the rest of what he does is what everyone else does. Though he isn’t as concerned that much about getting the slot in alignment with the blade, which really has to be done before worrying about the fence

Not everything the FDS approves is healthy. Look at seed oils for example.

Thank you, Marc. Very informative. Really like your presentation style.

Good job 🎉❤❤
