I reckon this piece is more like a work of art in wood than a book shelf or a cabinet. Maybe someone with a very expensive watch collection would want it to display them in this. The added lights would make it work well.

Working with UV almost every day, I have two recommendations; 1) Wear UV blocking glasses. Even short exposure can lead to uncomfortable itchy eyes and other transient (but not permanent) discomforts 2) Determine the wavelength (in nm) of the curing light. Odds are, there is a cheaper alternative that's marketed as germicidal or used for curing finishes in other fields (for example UV cured windshield chip repair, or UV cured 3d printing, perhaps germicidal UV, etc). The light you're using looks pretty lavender, which is closer to the far end of the UV spectrum

One of my classmates was a recently retired Army CW3 CID agent. The subject came off classes we’d attended and CID attends a lot of the FBI classes. For his forensics the agents egged them into asking the instructor about “the dress” because she was the principal technician who had worked on it. The long and short of it was that she could confirm that Wild Bill’s sample was on the dress, along with something like 4-6 OTHER donors whom had also been identified but she was not allowed to disclose. So apparently it really was her party dress!

Hey Cam. These portable drum sanders can be a pain. But a trick i came up with somehow is to spray a light mist of 3M Super 77 onto the bare mandrel. I turn the sander on and just lightly spritz the mandrel. Then wrap the sand paper strip. It will go on a lot better and it will stay put a bit better. It also helps to keep the paper tight to the mandrel while you’re happily struggling to get the paper into that second clip. To clean between sandpaper change outs i just LIGHTLY dampen a rag with a solvent like paint thinner. Turn the drum on and carefully touch the rag to the spinning mandrel. It will clean the old adhesive off nicely.

I'm a gunsmith here and I'm taking high end woodworking to my stock work. But let's talk about the cold bluing real quick. Personally I apply with a small brush because it's a generally ugly and patchy solution instead of a full refinishing using a slow rust or fast rust bluing. Chemical bluing (cold) has some steps First you should prep your material. You should sand the material starting at 120 grit and working up to 280 for a matte, 320 for a medium shine, 400 for a slightly brighter shine, and going up to 1200 can give you a moderately reflective swiss shine (or swedish I always confuse the two lol) though this is better with slow rusting technique. Next make sure you degass or do oil removal with acetone, I like to soak milsurp for around 4 hours after heating at about 320 for 45 min. But again this is more for bluing or cerakote. You would want to colder than 320 for applying but a warm temp should be acceptable. Then apply with a sponge making sure it's lint free. (There are a lot more steps if you slow rust or fast rust) Neutralize the process again lint free Finally I like to set up shop towels put a small amount of motor oil (you were right about that). I then pour motor oil completely over the entire barrel/action I use a bin to collect the access. Then lay it over the shop towel, lightly coat the metal in the oil and I then wrap the metal up and tape the shop towels and leave at least overnight but on a high end product I can leave up to 72 hours.

Cabinet masquerading as a display unit. Absolutely beautiful piece of work. My favourite of yours so far.

It's a cabinet, too deep for a bookshelf. Wow, Cam, this is unbelievable. So glad you're really exploring the artistry of your work. That is fantastic and well worth the effort. Congrats! And love the finish, really brings out the color of the walnut and has a stunning effect with the lighting.

also too rounded for books, unless you were going to place a single old/rare book on a shelf to admire.

As always, you've done some of your best and worst work while outside your comfort zone. Definitely makes for some fun viewing!

Cabinet. Looks like something Fred Flintstone would use. Absolutely brilliant, the radiuses corners a similar to a mid century modern inspired media center I built, but yours is way much more difficult. Congrats on seeing it through, it’s is fabulous and so organic looking!

Fascinating video. My favorite projects are always the ones where I don't know exactly what I'm doing, new tools, new techniques. Mistakes are made along the way, lessons are learned, and in the end it looks beautiful.

This piece is absolutely incredible. The astounding fact that you were forced to wing it in some places is mind boggling. The in laid lights are also a great touch.

If you plan on using the UV cure finish more frequently you should probably buy some sort of protective UV blocking glasses that work for the UV wavelength emitted by the UV flashlight.

It's funny how many comments of people telling this dude what he should and shouldn't do. You think maybe he's made it this far because he's a smart guy and takes risks? Safety Sally type folks never can quite get their feet off the ground ( it's dangerous) good grief.

Bookshelf. Go to 28:39 and he has BOZ glasses on for that exact reason. You were probably typing while that part went past.

Recently found your channel and have been enjoying watching the back catalog. I watch Four Eyes and Shaun Boyd a lot but I particular like your format. I think its the banter between you and Scott that sets your channel apart.

hey cam, just wanna say thanks for making today so much better and I really liked this piece. I don't do woodworking myself and I am also 12 but from watching your videos, I have learned so much info that I feel like a wood worker. I would love to see more pieces like this from you in the future. I really like when you use Mappa burl to make any piece so please keep making vids with that wood. Ps. it is a shelf for the floor

As someone who used to build custom cabinets and millwork for high end real-estate I gotta commend you on your work. Truly a beautiful piece of furniture there. As you learned it takes a certain mindset to do that kind of work full time. thanks for posting this vid, really enjoyed it.

I have yet to learn about cabinetry, tools, workmanship, etc. I couldn't build my way out of a paper bag if my life depended on it. However, I am absolutely enamored by the artistic quality of your work. It is absolutely stunning!

This shelf unit is stunning! I watched the whole project over a few days. You actually got through that sanding ordeal!!! I’ve sanded a few things before and hated it. I don’t know how you managed to stay with it. Your design is very beautiful. Even though it has simple lines, it’s very complicated with all those pieces of wood and rounded angles. The shelf unit is smooth and so very elegant.

Whatever you want to call it, its absolutely amazing craftsmanship and looks freaking amazing. Great choice with the blue ginmetals look with bigger dents. That looked such much better swapping out the copper.

A piece of art….. I would use it as a cabinet but add one item in each section. A minimalist look - not to take away from the piece itself. This piece is my absolute favorite. So original - your talent is just shining through this piece, Cam.

Definitely a bookshelf, cabinets have doors. You were right to go with the steel, it looks much better! Given how hard this was to make are you planning on making anything like this again? Hats off to you for keeping going. I hope you had fun along the way. It does look beautiful.

Cabinet. Only because when I think of a bookshelf, I think of something with square lines. But either way, it's a work of art. I do have to be honest, though. I would have left it open on both sides. The wood is so beautiful that I don't feel the metal is necessary. Love your work!
