Your comment around the 30:00 mark about design serendipity is O-so-true. You never know when the design muse will strike; pay attention when it does. As you said, it may not be applicable for the particular piece you are working on, but it may very well work someplace else.

Thanks for another very info-taining video. I always appreciate explanations of your inspiration. I once wrapped a maple vanity with 2 parallel padauk veneer strips that ran across the top and "waterfalled" down the door. It looked amazing. My inspiration - the red racing stripes on a white Dodge Challenger. They ran the entire length of the car via the hood, roof and trunk. Thx again.

I really like the idea of veneering MDF for a cabinet build, you have straight edges and it’s way cheaper than plywood, plus you could make your friends jealous if you give the impression that you “really” build all your workshop cabinets out of walnut 😜

“Poplar veneer”, now that’s a phrase I thought I’d never hear. 😉 I’m surprised 1 inch MDF is hard to get in Philidelphia. Even in the tiny town I live in my supplier has it; maybe with a day or two delay if they’re out if stock and need to truck it over from their location in the big city.

Poplar veneer is great for adding thickness to material! Been using it for years. 1" MDF is easily available but I need 7/8" and planing MDF is just about the worst thing I can think to do 😂

I hope your neighbor with the sliced hand is fine? The tapered part of the doors looks nice, i really like tapered stuff. Also the idea of going over the cabinet edge could be a nice if it is done with accentuating design elements. This reminds me somewhat of the handle that flows in the leg in another fascinating woodworkers project.

It looks great. It’s a shame we couldn’t see the finished piece so if you’re not going to video the rest of the build maybe you can just include some pictures in the next video. Btw were you using a Home Depot gift card to spread glue? Lol What was that?

Just curious, instead of matching cauls for the bent laminated part, can you just use one caul and apply pressure on the other side by putting it in your vacuum bag?

Absolutely could... if your bag is strong enough. But I bought my bag and pump years ago when I didn't have much money and bought the cheapest one I could afford. The bag would probably be fine but the pump is not strong enough to pull 5 lams down to the form.
