Making a beautiful display case from off-cuts

[@paulcurran5048]

I especially liked the use of the flat headed screws and aligning the slots parallel to the edge of the hinge. That’s real attention to detail.

[@DJlegionuk]

I have watched people like Frank Howarth and John Heisz for a few years and I am so glad the £13,000 turntable popped up on my feed, now I can add your videos to the list of amazing craftsmen to watch. Also appreciate the no fuss, no music just workshop sounds and love the subtitles.

[@asvarien]

That's the same video that got me into this channel ^_^

[@plainnpretty]

It was the door repair that got me here very nice work thanks for sharing

[@krenwregget7667]

uhhh.... Russ is miles ahead of those two and doing some of the most impressive work on all of KZbin.

[@photographylightandmagic3050]

I'm 54 and have been designing and building hand crafted furniture from the age of 16. It's a pleasure to watch you cut those mitered hidden dovetails. You don't get craftsmanship of that caliber very often. A beautiful piece that I'm sure your client will love it. Well done.

[@nickmacdx]

Those were beautiful and actually made my head hurt trying to work out how you would do that The piece looked fantastic and I can imagine that the customer was indeed over the moon with it Now to watch more ...

[@mead6754]

Trades men like you are very scarce, top quality

[@prezzeruk4054]

After reading the comments we can all agree, the workmanship is of the highest calibre. Made even more elegant by the lack of obtrusive music! The silence only broken by the sound of the wood being worked. Beatuful cabinet and video! New subscriber here!

[@badlarry172]

no music 👍

[@iancarroll216]

Even the hinge screws aligned!...love that 👍

[@SWERVE191]

I think out of all of the woodshop channels I subscribe to, you might be my favorite. There are plenty of amazing woodworkers out there with shops that make you drool but looking at your setup, you can tell that it is about the love of the work and not about having a sparkly clean space with the highest end of everything draping your walls. It's more...approachable.

[@krenwregget7667]

You clearly don't know anything about tools or been in a real production shop that earns money because his vintage woodworking tools are better than anything you can get now, plus he has a lot of Festool, which are the best. This is what a real shop looks like where a guy earns his living from working, not just Youtubing.

[@t.e.roberts7851]

My own wood working is conducted in what I call my "thankfully sheltered workshop," and its quality is not even a measurable fraction of what you demonstrate. It's a pleasure to see such loving attention to detail, design, and execution. I am glad you are a young person who promises many years of fascinating viewing.

[@jean-philippelafont4577]

One the many reasons that make me watch your videos, other than the lack of useless words or ambient music, is your subtitles. They are utterly brillant and often very funny. Thanks for them, and carry on sir !

[@gavincutler8889]

Bravo. The fact that there are features carefully and flawlessly incorporated which the customer will never see is the mark of a true craftsman.

[@louisepanton7344]

Love watching your work. My dad who would've been 95y but sadly died at 41y would've LOVED your channel. He was a master carpenter as his hobby. I really enjoy your quirky comments 😂 e.g "walk of shame" 🙈 From Jeffreys Bay South Africa🏄‍♀️

[@KevinRay_man]

It's ridiculous just how beautiful your art is. Add in the functionality and it's just borderline absurd. Your intelligence and abundance of talent absolutely shines through your work.

[@wandamcgiboney5141]

I could watch your videos all day , your so patient and sure , I’m new and each one is so fascinating to watch at master at work .

[@woody1320]

Sir, not familiar with those cards but realize that this display case has much finer craftsmanship then most peoples finest furniture. The dovetails blew my mind. You are a very rare treasure, please keeps the videos coming, (love your humor too!) Awesome work.

[@babbetto1]

Absolute insanity. I can’t even count how many different ways I would have mucked all that up if I had tried. Beautiful job.

[@davidcrossley7145]

An absolute pleasure to watch a craftsman doing his work 👍👍

[@kevincorbin6273]

For sure this individual is the real deal, impeccable craftsmanship

[@iansharp1171]

"Customer was over the Moon" - I bet! Outstanding, incredible, sublime. There are no superlatives that can express my admiration for your work.

[@RayMrRobert]

Your artistry and care show you love your craft. I admire you so much.

[@hughjasole9336]

So glad there are still people out there that take pride in their work. Thank you.

[@matthiasnicolai8306]

My cat just agreed: Purrfect work. Especially the hidden dovetails are absolutement extraordinaire. Beaucoup de chapeaux, encore!

[@167curly]

After several years I enjoyed rewatching this project even more than before. Small wonder your client was over the moon!

[@robertkirk4387]

No substitute for craftmanship, Thank God (whichever one) for people like you.

[@crabtonia]

So very meticulous and a JOY to watch the process...your concentration is admirable...thank you...dgp/uk

[@Mokq]

the professionalism goes so far when client gets the screwing guide for the wall

[@rayholmes931]

Not only is he extremely talented and skilful, his comments are hilarious!🤣

[@bobolander]

pretty ingenious with the glass! also the captions are hilarious. love the dry sarcasm.

[@ceb964]

you mean "wry"

[@Paty-dives]

Amazing craftsmanship. Your eye for detail and perfection is inspiring!

[@sylviawhittington7877]

I bet he was over the moon.So classy.Especially when he can say hand made by a craftsman.That's a bonus.Very well done.

[@ÐÞæ]

I can totally imagine your customer was over the moon; it is truly a work of art. Looks amazing!

[@johnvanstone5336]

A genius of a craftsman at work, I like your humorous comments, and you admit little mistakes, a great channel and a real pleasure to watch you anytime 🇬🇧🤘☀️👏

[@kkygeek]

The amount of work is incredible! If anyone complains about the cost of handmade furniture I shall show them this with a speculum in both eyes...

[@exileinderby51]

Amazing skill but the icing on the cake for me was when you lined up the slots in the screws in the hinges!

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

Totally agree! I get called a perfectionist for doing this but to me it's simply pride in doing it right, and it's pleasing to the eye.

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Been around for years originally used to allow paint to drip and not build up in screw slots. (Before the days of the Phillips and the hammered in screws on sites.)

[@loejets]

Simple stuff that. Those dovetails mitres were a thing of beauty though

[@Progettodinizio2020]

@tug onrye ¹9bi

[@rickw4160]

The first time I saw that was on se fine furniture competition. One of the judges commented on someone's screw not being in line.. I was shocked they pay that much attention to detail.

[@donaldadams1644]

It is absolutely spellbinding watching you produce your magic. Every step you take is compelling viewing, perfection and a joy to behold. Nothing distracts from watching each precise and exact step you take, perfectly in tune with the sound of all of the tools you work with. Don from South Aust.

[@alastairchestnutt6416]

Fabulous workmanship. Enjoyed watching this build and the jokes.

[@TheHuizenre]

What a relief, just professionalism, quiet and relaxing. This video gave me a new idea for my planned tool cabinet. Hope for more like this. Thank you.

[@patriciabockenstette6550]

Your patience and great skill in accuracy made a beautiful display case for a very happy customer. Thanks for sharing.

[@pcmlm631]

Always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman.

[@ianoliver3879]

Brilliant. This should be compulsory viewing for anybody who wants to post a video. On any subject, not just cabinet making.

[@ianoliver3879]

Though may I add that a small headlight on the canera rig might meke the pictures even better?

[@lwoodt1]

Outstanding. Tedious attention to detail is the mark of a true craftsman. Well done.

[@scottstilwell4596]

So I see the title and say, "I'd love to make a card display case". Yeah, I don't have the skill for this, you are truly very talented. As many have already praised, your patience, attention to detail and just overall knowledge of the craft is amazing.

[@anniehartley8851]

What a beautiful piece of engineering, WOW, cool, nice to see a real crafts man

[@CraigH999]

Those hidden dovetails were amazing!

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

I dearly love to see sharp chisels, I do.

[@duczman76]

i love those older machines - green,heavy and nearlly indistructible.with good care the last that long again

[@jamespyacek2691]

Pree-shizzen on the hinge chases there. Seriously, I se the patience here and am reminded to take it slowly on my own projects.

[@stevehood10]

Beautiful, you don’t see people heading their screws often and it makes a huge difference for no effort.

[@luis_pg]

Great job, a good experience to see a great professional at work, I liked the detail of aligning the screws.

[@HM-pu9zc]

Absolutely incredible craftmanship. Beautiful work and very ingenious design. Your design was forward thinking in terms of cleaning the glass periodically, genius.

[@alanwetherall]

Nice to see a true craftsman at work

[@cobberpete1]

GREAT!! I used to have dozens of those cards as a kid. 😃 When you built that bench, you knew you needed the drawer at that height just for this project. 😎

[@brucepottorff6870]

You are so meticulous that I was surprised you didn't clock the mounting bracket screws. Really nice work.

[@cdey8512]

I must have said "craftsmanship" twenty times while watching this. Very nicely done. Congratulations.

[@roysmith119]

A beautiful piece. Of workmanship he must be very proud of his efforts as I am .

[@larryduncan6756]

COOL JOB,THIS AND THE DECK!--SOME DECK,EH? I MUST SAY,YOU CARRY A REMARKABLE LIKENESS TO ONE OF MY COUSINS DOWN SOUTH-ONLY YOU DONT LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO BE HE,NAME OF STEVE SAYERS,HE'D BE ABOUT 67 NOW. WELL DONE FELLA!

[@WTCreations]

Great work, especially on those hidden dovetails. If you want do another frame like that on the vacuum table just run a bit of rope or cord from the inside of the frame to the vacuum holes on the outside and it will vacuum down as one. The rope gives the air somewhere to escape. Good use of the ladies too!

[@c.a.chambers68]

So much detail and every little thing taken care of its a beauty

[@jamescook1364]

Outstanding as per your fine quality craftsmship. Well done. And i bet the customer was over the moon, this art gallery.

[@gholmes182]

Thank you for showing these different techniques. I have learned a lot. Wonderful workmanship. Thanks again.

[@mitnoxin]

Nerve racking moment when you dry fitted that first one. All the grooves line up; great success! That's the point where I would be planing the edges flush on a plain square frame. Hats off to you sir.

[@CreativeCarpentry]

I was delighted to see another video from you and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I enjoy your witty commentary and watching the skilled working that goes along with it. Jig for positions of mounting hardware is class and I can imagine how quick and neat installation was. Please keep making nice things 👍

[@jameswilliams5982]

Love the fact you have no commentary..👍

[@Wu2u22]

That corner joint is ... amazing. I've never seen that before. Now I have to try it. Which is as likely to fail as you might expect! Well done!

[@kiwi_kirsch]

your precision and accuracy are unbelievable.

[@قناة_أهل_مصر]

I do like your care for small details. Great work, and good sense of ART.

[@igavinwood]

You demonstrate so many skills in making this cabinate. Not just the obvious, but also tools and finishing with matching drill jig. Fabulous stuff. I really wish I could visit your workshop and learn a thing or two from you.

[@freepress8451]

You are a craftsman, seeing the finished item mounted and with the vintage cards, was amazing - thanks for sharing

[@quinnabun1173]

Absolutely spectacular job❤ Love that it's a one of its kind!!! True brilliance.

[@jayatkinson1152]

I could watch you all night... and usually do! Thank you. You are an Artisan! X

[@trickster11300]

I have just found your channel. Wow what a find. Being a Yorkshireman myself and living abroad, I love the humour and your style of presentation of the videos. I find your skills extraordinary and learn something every video. Its wonderful not to be watching an American woodworker who never demonstrates joint cutting as you do! Thanks for sharing this wealth of videos.

[@jagdishprasadkhaitan4815]

I like your video watching always. Because your work is so minute and finishing work.

[@peepers4763]

The customer was over the moon? I was too. Mad skills and craftsmanship!.

[@billrobinson3203]

You are certainly one hell of a tradesman

[@terrystephens1102]

A beautiful job, such precision, a master craftsman 😁👌👌👏👏👏❤️

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

awesome craftmanship. I have a display case to build. This was just in time for me.

[@TwickersMandM]

32:00 all the hinge screw heads parallel - wonderful attention to detail throughout, but that was special

[@Kurgosh1]

I love your zero clearance supports. I've seen a lot of videos of folks spending a lot of time an effort to make zero clearance throat plates (for instance), which work great, but this seems so simple and easy.

[@Greygon313]

Wow! Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is amazing. Excellent work.

[@glennphilipson7231]

Really classy workmanship. There are only a few others that I can count as top notch craftsmen and you are definitely right at the top. Those mitred dovetails were beautiful. Superb mate

[@williambrooker4580]

Love your craftmanship! I spend far video's but that's OK, I worked until I was seventy-six. Laid up for a couple more months. A new hip will allow me to work on some personal wood working projects. Thanks for the great attention to detail!

[@rodneydelaney9227]

Craftsmanship on a whole new level. 👌

[@colinbradford7949]

It is a pleasure to watch you at work, keep it up great videos.

[@liroso]

Amazing attention to detail - shear perfection!

[@tardismole]

Love the corner joinery. That is a piece of art in its self. A pleasure to watch, sir. I could have done with a few of these cabinets myself over the years. Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon and Doctor Who Battles In Time cards look better on display that hidden in away in boxes in the drawer. Two thumbs up from me.

[@andyfarmer759]

Awesome, I loved the dovetails hidden in the corner.

[@Tonyblack261]

I remember those cards from when I was a kid. There was also a set of equally gory American Civil War cards. Great job of the display case!

[@oldreprobate2748]

Indeed you are a craftsman sir.

[@johnmackay7789]

Superb job. Haven't done hidden dovetail mitres since making a coffee table in technical college 35 years ago.

[@donaldadams5342]

Another display of superb craftsmanship to bring delight to all of your viewers including me. Your attention to detail is amazing both in construction techniques & the finish is superb. Don from South Aust.

[@redbed1604]

That's gonna be one heck of a display cabinet!

[@joseramos7476]

Your craftsmanship is amazing

[@WildeFyre69]

And another excellent project comes to a close! I love the style and color of this specimen, it blends well with the baseball cards. Cheers!

[@BigmoRivera]

Nicely Done Great Dovetails Details Craftsmanship Work...Nice And Lit In The Workshop... THANKS!!

[@jeffforbes3772]

A lot of respect and justice to that case and those cards.

[@paulosborne6517]

Wonderful - good to see you back. Your videos are very tranquil.

[@peterdelaforce2346]

Really enjoying your videos of a craftsman at work, your attention to detail is fantastic, stay safe and keep em coming

[@redbed1604]

Very precise workmanship. Kudos

[@tbuc2920]

All that beautiful interior miter joinery work for the most part goes unseen after the glue up. Kudo`s to Russ , I guess he likes to challenge himself. That was incredible craftsmanship just on the four corners. Another mind blowing project that the custom was over the moon. I say out of this world.

[@k13ehr]

You have a better spraying technique than some vehicle refinishers I know.

[@chris33661]

Hi, I am not wondering that customer was sa happy with these display unit.It is so beautiful.

[@nickyork8901]

Great work, especially the meticulous finishing stages - very professional, high quality!
