@@passy707 definitely two dogs, you can see the movement of the second one raising their head, but it's not raised enough to see that it's its head.

Hey! This video has a lot of Adam Savage One Day Build vibes. Seeing you experiment, try to solve problems, and your genuine reaction to each step's outcome was so fun to watch.

[@KyleVeatch]

Funny you say that because he uses the same fancy tape dispenser that Adam likes!

[@toddgoode4600]

I’m only a minute thirty into the video, and I just want to say that it’s awesome to see you getting deeper into using a router, and for it to open up more options for your creativity. I’ve been watching since before the name change and its cool to be along for the ride 👍✌️

[@shaney2000]

That cabinet is class, but the bottom of left hand handle is out of line, it would drive me mad🤯😱

[@Curtis-Randall]

What a bad ass move to just reveal your formula for your finish! Great video by the way, looks super fun to move that wood with the neat joints. I always wondered how these types of doors worked. We had a desk growing up that opened with one of those slat doors. Thank you, Cheers!

Awesome build as always. You NEVER disappoint. I was wanting to somehow incorporate that breadbox door style into a project I may do someday and now I know how! I’m proud of you for using the router-your favorite tool and Red Oak? I thought you didn’t like that species of wood? Thanks ! Tim

[@lopaka76]

Not breaking new ground, but a couple of pices that are 8x8, 10x10 or 12x12 with a 12 inch black pipe on a flange with free weights, makes an excellent centralized "clamp" Great lòking project.

[@velocelt]

Interesting process for this build. I'm surprised you didn't make any jokes about Red Oak being "practice wood." Do you think you could've used something like 1/4" or 3/8" plywood and kerfed it to allow it to bend around the oval shape without having to have struggled so much with thin veneers?

[@djonesey5]

Here's what I'm wondering....Suppose you created these and wrapped them around a form and glued them. Might they stay firmly in that position? Here's where I'm going with this...I was wondering if a might create, say, a 5" high round table skirt, maybe with a 50" diameter, composed of a couple of 100, 5" pieces of this stuff, wrap it around a form and glue it. If that seems tedious, I'd argue, no more so that this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ-kia13nLB6m5osi=ohIvidLQHjqQXgXJ&t=81

[@RichardBronosky]

It makes me nervous to glue this thing together and never be able to access the Tambour ribs. To address this, I would drill a hole (big enough for the end caps to pass through WITHOUT their handles) in the bottom that goes through the slider slot. This hole would be located where one of the feet are attached. To the top of the foot that will cover the hole, I would attach a bung/plug that would replace all the material removed by the making the hole. The result is that by removing the foot, you have access to remove all of the moving parts. This would allow you to make future adjustments/repairs.

[@thedazzlingape2006]

think outside the box? but...woodworking is just making boxes??? if a woodworker were to think outside the box, that would be...blacksmithing.

[@woodrowsmith3400]

There is a school of thought that considers computer aided tools to be an abomination to woodworkers. I say "Bah!" Use whatcha got. I could...with considerably more fiddling...make the tambour slats. Have, in fact, done so without 'specific to the project' bits. Took three days to make a tambour for a smaller rolltop secretary. I have cut ovals using a funky jig technique with a string and finish nails, then cleaned up on disc sander. One of the purest styles of furniture ( in my opinion) is Shaker. Clean lines, simple forms, pure function. The Shakers got this bum rap where folk bunch them with the Amish. Nothing could be further from the truth. They used whatever tech was available to manufacture their furniture...hand tools, power tools, what have you. If it works, saves time, speeds the process...use it. From my understanding, the last of the REAL Shakers worked as computer programmers up into their eighties. There are also haters out there that are going to go off on you for all the cool stuff you have. The CNC router, the Shark router table, the comfortable and cozy workspace. Let 'em. If they envy you, let them work to acquire the cool stuff. If they just hate to hate, pity them. In the end, what it boils down to is the process of creation, and you have built a space that lets your creativity flow. Good on you, mate! That lil' table...cabinet...whatchamacallit...is cool as anything I've seen in years. You rock!

OK I've worked out how to achieve this result without selling your grandmother for $200 and change for the router bit set. Buy a Roman Ogee bit for the male profile one pass either side, cut slot with table saw then run ball end bit finish that side of the slat with a bull nose bit, job done and change out of $100. I'm in the UK and I have all but the Ball bit but CMT do a 1/4in one for £25.

[@rwilliams6409]

Hi, I find this project for tambour panels fascinating. Have watched it many times. Wondering how to purchase your router bit kit. Please get back to me when you can. Thank you.

[@chrisflavelle1200]

Loved this project. I just have one bit of advice! Lose the negative mantra of "Don't Forget" and instead focus on the positive mantra of "Remember To"! This was pushed into my mind by my wonderful Grandmother, who was one of the most positive people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Even in the senior's residence where she lived, I'm sure she went to every floor in the tower and changed the sign by the elevator from "Don't forget to lock your door" to "Remember to lock your door"! Such a message was never changed by the staff of the residence. Looking forward to see how your budget shop comes along.

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Dave! It looks fantastic indeed! 😃 Really well done! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@forestbirdoriginals4917]

You should buy some RIT dye or Mixol Universal Tinting and see if you can tint that wax or your finish in interesting ways. Teal or Purple would be awesome LOL.

[@vengervoldur6534]

You have a very Adam Savage energy in this build, David. (This is intended as a compliment.) Short of having a Daniel of my own, is your Daniel for rent?

Mick Jagger needs to watch this so he can finally get some SATISFACTION.

[@Dickie2702]

They want $214 for the bit set? Me thinks that's a touch on the pricey side, but a fun project and an interesting alternative to a regular tambour door. I think unless your choice of timber was very close grained hardwood it wouldn't be very robust.

[@DoubleDeckerDream]

I wonder if this joint could be used (maybe thicker) as slats for an adjustable lounge chair?! I've wanted to make an adjustable lounger van setup for years and this might be the solution to the bigger complications of that.

[@spinyuk]

I enjoy trying to work out whats on the TV almost as much as the vids themselves, thought it might be D Darko at the beginning, but did I also get silently rickrolled at 15:25 ? :) ah, my bad, it's the Jim Cunningham bit :)

[@shubhammajumdar8762]

Sir i am from India I request you something Can u able to give me a drill machine, I will be so thankful for your help Please sir any drill machine your choice I will be so grateful for your help Thank you sir

[@Sembazuru]

Because you cut your door slats to 9", the enclosure will be less than 9" tall on the inside because of the slots that the door will slide in... Not sure how deep you made the tracks for the doors, but it looks to be almost 1/2" inch deep? If so that makes the inside of the cabinet really close to 8", probably slightly higher than 8" (to give movement allowance for the doors).

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

I don't know if you do or not, but maybe you can add a check mark next to the designs you have made just for fun. I enjoyed your video. Now I have one more item on my Must Get List! That router set looks awesome and like a lot of fun! I have a few ideas already! ❤TYFS❤

[@cassidionline2002]

Do you think it would be possible to do captive ends for those tambour strips? When the video first started, I thought you had some cool, articulated, wood placemats. Of course, there was nothing keeping the slats from sliding apart, though.

[@peta1001]

Looks cool. It is also longlisting if you keep it in perfect temperature/humidity conditions and especially, and I mean especially, if you do not apply any stretch to it...never mind twisting.

[@tomspooner3436]

I followed the link for your planer, but it's currently unavailable. It suggested a hand plane which I thought was hilarious.

[@tedamy1698]

As an idea let me add three things #1- The door handle could be wood #2- The door could be only one, thus the handle used as a limiter on both ways #3- the door haven't limiter It would be perfect if u even show as how much pressure it could resist!

[@beth3914]

When you said you enjoy the resawing and milling process, you were being sarcastic, right? 😂

[@rickstetser8557]

Looks really great! Did I miss the part where you showed how to attach the feet? Also, can you tell me about your router table? What brand, does it have a lift (which one)? Thanks for any and all info.

[@jfinaz99]

Keee-rist, somebody please fix that sore-thumb handle! Otherwise, great job!

[@divinenonbinary]

OMG I want that poster you have! Can u add it to the store pls 😊 and instant subscribe. BEST vibes ever!!

[@MrNside]

So a few tips. First, take a little notch out of the top and bottom of the termination piece on the meeting middle edge. Then glue small pieces into the tracks slightly smaller than the combined notches right in the middle of the opening. That will prevent sliding closed too far and defines a true center where they meet. Second. Lightly chamfer or round all edges of the door pieces individually. Just touch it with a sander. That will promote sliding like a sled instead of digging in to the channel, especially in the corners of the channel. While it may slide well at first, over time a groove might get dug into the channel from a few sharper pieces of door. Also, chamfering where it meets the inside corner of the channel leaves a space for dust to go over time. Third. If you designed it in 2 pieces for each top and bottom it would be easier for repair or cleaning. If you don't want to take the whole cabinet apart, you could have made the center/inside section removable with a few screws on the inside of the cabinet. Since the opening is almost the full width of the cabinet, you should be able to get pieces like that in and out. Maybe a couple not glued locator dowels to make sure it's positioned right when reinstalling.

[@kevinwood9993]

Nice job well done, i would have preferred to have seen long tapered angled legs though, just my opinion not a criticism.

[@cernunnoskali]

Try bendy ply over a frame, then veneer or laminate. It's how curved furniture is often done commercially.

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

I bet you could make it so if you open one side the other side opens the same amount. Some strings and pulleys hidden in the lid.

[@christophrothert4340]

What a satisfying build. Great idea. I guess the position of the left handle is part of the creative process. 😅 It kinda triggers me.

[@j316finewoodworking6]

Beautiful but your right handle is crooked. At least looks that way

[@Zoltan13]

How do you think that joint would work as a flexible wooden place mat? Is there some way to stop them from sliding apart while still retaining their flexibility?

[@RDAUGIRD]

First thing that popped in my head was "chaise lounge", but the possibilities are endless...

[@RDAUGIRD]

@@jeremyspecce Yes, and maybe one or two in the middle to support the weight. They wouldn't retract.

[@jameslind6066]

Almost got divorced over some of the language I've used during a glue up...we feel ya buddy

[@bobbg9041]

The legs on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6q4Y2OpjbGYZtUfeature=shared are perfect for the table your making.

[@thedolphin5428]

Lovely. A little centre pin (hidden up top or bottom) to stop doors closing past their middle? And, imo, the egs should be a little shorter so they look like legs rather than some weird gap in the base.

[@RROOBBWWAANN]

Too big handles. And the left one is screwed on crookedly. It is better to join the veneer on the edge at a large angle, as it will not be visible. The vertical strips on the edge should be more delicate and flush with the outside of the bent side.

[@kevinmeachem2138]

Wry cool project! My question is, is the veneer side walls strong enough?

[@hsjawanda]

One of your best builds so far, loved it! Will the veneer lamination be strong to take the weight of whatever gets put on top of this?

[@JohnMadeit]

I want a Daniel, Where can i get one? Do most big box stores stock them?

[@gareth326]

Beautiful piece. For the doors, you could leave a small piece of wood inside the door track - part of the cnc cut - that would be a stop for the middle of the track in the front. So positive stop for the doors on close. Notch the end pieces on the doors so the doors fit over the stop in top and bottom tracks and ..... profit?

[@5280Woodworking]

Outstanding build, love it. Handles seem a tad heavy to me, but otherwise, great.
