A Desk Built For Two Again?

"A check-up from the neck up because my thinkin was a stinkin." I'm using this solid dad quote this week.

[@MikeFarrington]

Haha! All the kids will know exactly what you're talking about.

Laughed out loud at the "since my work is perfect, I've never had to use these". Classic!!

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thank you.

[@Matlock69]

The amount of Blum products in this video is euphoric!! I honestly think Blum is the only reason I don't detest making cabinets. Excellent craftsmanship as always Mike!

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! Thank you. I really don't like mentioning a brand like that all the time, but it is honestly what I use, I'm not getting paid for the mentions. I think with cabinet hardware, its a good idea to pick a brand and stick with it.

[@wmouser22]

“Since all of my work is perfect, I’ve never had to use these” …..I love this guy

Ha! Thank you.

@10:36, true Betty Botter bought some butter, But she said the butter’s bitter, “If I put it in my batter It will make my batter bitter, But a bit of better butter Will make my batter better.” Will Betty Boughter's bitter batter taste better? No because the better butter Betty Bitter bought was peanut butter! But the *MIGHTY* tongue twister that no one to date (that I've asked) have been able to do. Say "Toy Boat or Troy Boat" five times really fast. CAN'T BE DONE!!! And goodness gracious your attention to detail is SECOND TO NONE! Looks beautiful!

[@MikeFarrington]

Ha! That was great. Thank you.

[@bobbg9041]

This guys is a pretty good craftsman, by the video produced you can tell he pays close attention to details.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. I try to get the details correct.

Drawer spacing.....the bane of my existence... love this method and how you give product tips..

[@MikeFarrington]

Whats cool about this method is you can get the gaps as good as you want. Just depends on how much time you want to invest.

[@careyhenitiuk8423]

@@MikeFarrington What spacing do you generally try to get? Looks smaller than 1/8"

[@MikeFarrington]

@@careyhenitiuk8423 I normally cut parts to a 1/16" gap, then sand/fit that takes them to 3/32 normally, but I am ok with 1/8" if thats what happens.

Hi Mike, I have been watching and learning from you for a few years now. I probably would not have tought of buying a biscuit joiner if you had not showed it in so many videos. What a useful tool. Your finishing methods are second to none, and your subtle humor makes your videos a pleasure to watch. Cheers from Denmark

Mike, I don't know a thing about woodworking really. But your videos are so inspirational. The attention to detail and quality workmanship you put into all your products is second to none.

I always find it informative and funny at the same time when you share your actual “pro tips” vs the stuff that those diy style channels think are pro tips. The desk turned out beautiful, I love the contrast of the cherry vs the paint color.

Thank you very much.

[@premierpainting8921]

So happy you have upped your finish with Kem Aqua. It’s a fantastic furniture grade finish. They also make a surfacer to use as your undercoat. It’s water based so it won’t decrease the raising of the grain, but it will definitely cut your need for 4 coats down. It sands great and has more of a build to seal the raw material.

[@MikeFarrington]

I’ve used Kem Aqua off and on for a handful of years now. It’s a good finish with lots to like about it.

[@ohasis8331]

@10:38 Yes, you are right, if there's one takeaway from this is that prior preparation and planning prevents piss poor performance and results in a perfectly piled pile of parts presently prepared for further processing. All those drawer slides and stop locks etc would add up to a pretty penny percentage of the total pacakge price, no? That's a sweet looking unit and the subdued office colours really set it off.

[@MikeFarrington]
