I want this unit soooooo bad.

[@socialdrg6061]

Keith you have come a long way since you began keep up the great work, a real pleasure to see the progress you have made as a carpenter.

[@shannonsell6006]

Dylan is such a chatty little thing!

[@ConwayT91]

Oh man, this is great! i've been thinking about making something like this myself! Excited to see part two!

[@tylerirwin9932]

Hi Keith. Really enjoyed the Dylan break. 'cat interlude' - He's such a cutie, maybe he wants more camera time. :) Instead of the brackets, might try using a piece of either plywood or solid wood cut in a triangle for the shelving support. To make it a little fancier or matching of the mid-century look you could make the long angle on the triangle sloped (or arced). Would still give the shelf lots of support but would take a bit of extra room. Thanks for making these videos, it's enlightening to see your thought processes and how you troubleshoot while working.

[@user-oy4gf6ck5u]

I like it so far because it doesnt look like a box . Can t wait to see it finished . !!!

[@b_pa55]

Love the design

[@markgoode4109]

I like your design; It goes very well with the other furniture in that room. Looking forward to seeing part two of this build. Best wishes :)

[@elizabethamizdail7939]

I love your cat.

[@CasualDIY]

Really cool design and great video!

[@tooljunkie555]

That's some nice plywood..never seen or knew that was sold..only knew about maple,walnut, cherry,birch,aspen etc..but never mahogany that's awesome looking so far!!🍻

[@alisonhill2210]

Looks great. You should see the shed shelves I built in my allotment yesterday. You barely notice that they slope a bit... I admire your measuring technique, and your excellent cat.

[@macguyo]

nice to show the process of routering calculations

[@jackfive565]

Looks great, some valuable tips as well, thanks.

[@jasonkerr8377]

Great video Keith it will look the part when it’s all done

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Thumbs up #120. Easy to follow and understand, why I love watching.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Keith! Thanks for sharing.😎👍JP

[@juliodifelippo]

Beautiful worķ! Waiting for the 2nd part. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@AliDymock]

I always pick up some great tips. I liked how you moved the pencil then the speed square up to it 👌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Ali

[@karloflaherty]

keep on keepin on man ,great work

[@RiaanOliver]

Cliffhanger end! Really like the build and your detailed explication. Dowels might of been a good choice for the shelf’s, but like you said you can’t see the brackets. Awesome buddy can’t wait to see the end result.

[@harrisoncraven5785]

Good video can’ t wait for the next video from Harrison

[@cbacaa]

Awesome Project!

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Steven Spielberg will be proud of the camera angles...I like the design of this project, great interpretation etc...Nobody is going to like brackets.. lol...

[@erik.reinert]

This a beautiful build.

[@theriggsworkshop8606]

Another great video.. Nice one..

[@JAMikdiena]

There are special furniture available to connect boards to each other without using any angle bracelets .Hidden and cheap.

[@ericmarcadal7898]

Hello, I would like to know where you bought your 300 mm square. I only find with the imperial measure. Thank you

[@360virus]

Hi great vid where do you purchase the boards from?

[@aaroncastellanos3421]

Good project so far! Question (or vlog request): what stationary tools and furniture pieces (besides storage) do you highly recommend for a small shop? In the near future I'm building a shop similar in size to yours, so I'm planning on the things that would be most needed. I already have a bunch of power tools, including a table saw, planer, and miter saw, but what else is recommenced? For instance bench-top grinder/buffer, drill press, bandsaw, etc?

[@kimpierre7977]

Nice!

[@Master_Blackthorne]

Love your moggy, mate.

[@bogsdolics]

Hi Keith ,Matthias said to cut half way through on the mitre/chop saw then flip over the wood then cut the rest , is the cat looking for the dog /cat bed

[@shannonmariefine8517]

i love a cat in a shop! and i really like you channel

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith,nice to see you getting to design and make thing's, I think particle board is nasty stuff,but is very inexpensive compared to wood,you have to be vary careful when working with it,which you are being,can't wait to see part two,take care

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Colin. Me too! If it was a “paid” commission I’d have probably used nicer material!

[@petershevlan2513]

Nice cat break as well as a stylish project.

[@eoghanpurtell4346]

You should try using 6mm dowels in replace to the brackets

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I considered it but wasn’t convinced they would adhere well to chipboard, so went for brackets and screws for better holding

[@anthonydean1577]

great project Keith but those brackets....... I agree with some of the comments on using dado joints and dowels for the top and shelfs. I have put together enough flat pack furniture to know that they are plenty strong enough for the purpose. keep up the good work.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Dowels do not adhere well to chipboard

[@anthonydean1577]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown I beg to differ I'm afraid. while I know you want super strong joints it's only as strong as the chipboard itself. wood glue has an amount of water which will swell the dowel a little filling any voids around it into the chipboard. therefore strongest possible..

[@Jack-ws3os]

Where did you get that sapele board from? These are great videos your producing! Your an inspiration!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It was given to me. I think it’s quite old stuff!

[@petercurtis9297]

Looks nice. Did you consider dowls to secure the top?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! Yes I didn’t think they would adhere well enough to chipboard

[@chrisvidamour4264]

Hi Keith just a quick tip for future reference when dividing up cabinets etc if you take your gap and deduct the thickness of your vertical partitions then divide it by the number of spaces you end up with perfectly spaced openings thats how we space things out in our workshop not that it matters here but might be handy down the line Really enjoy the vids by the way keep up the good work

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@johan5628]

Hi Keith! Are you happy with that router? Looks handy! Planning to get myself a new one.... And say hi to the cat!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yes very happy with the router 👍

[@daisyj3812]

Dylan’s little white toes! How cute!!

[@christinecahill2874]

Hi keith, I couldn't help notice that you use a sharpy marker on your layouts. Wouldn't a pencil or even a pen be a better choice just in case you make a mistake? Cant sand veneer too much... lol

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I used marker for the purposes of the video so that you can see it on camera. I wouldn’t have used a marker if I wasn’t filming it

[@christinecahill2874]

Oh ok, that makes sense. Good video by the way. I enjoy watching your channel.👍

[@adamcasselman311]

Keith, how do I get in touch with you to quote a custom piece of furniture?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Hi, drop me an email (link in description) thanks

[@007mavrick1]

Hi. Where did you get those corner clamps from. Many thanks

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Amazon

[@RagnBoneBrown]

[@davidwilliamson2115]

The mallet which you found in your van

[@nesleyheiney3111]

Flip your work piece over on the miter saw to get double the width of cut. Also a split dado/ half lap joint would have worked out great for the divider/ support pieces. Just a few suggestions for next time maybe.

[@brindmusicnerd]

All videos should have cat interludes!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SirBenJamin_]

Interesting. I have just been watching a video explaining how putting the tape on the cut makes no visible difference in regard to tear out. Might be an interesting video to see your results with and without the tape, if you have any offcuts?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’ve never actually tested it on like for like material but it certainly seems to work. Maybe I’ll do an experiment in future

[@SteifWood]

Colin Knechts WoodWorkWeb kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWrRgXmlrcSha7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4WamJl5oN1rm9k

[@esskayrepairrestoration8265]

It’s the underside where you’ll have chipout issues as that’s where the blade exits the cut with a circular saw.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

The blade cuts upwards!

[@esskayrepairrestoration8265]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown My bad, got circular saw and table saw cut directions mixed around. Don’t drink and comment folks... 😀

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

By now you should know that a meow from a cat means stop what you are doing and play with me?. You should also know the cat is the boss.

[@telosfd]

Maybe an MDF cover with venire will be much better for the cuttings. By the way, nice job.

[@KINGJ3R3MY]

By dividing the shelves how you have the central space is slightly smaller than the two outer shelves... you need to take the internal dim then take off the width of the two widths of the dividers then divide this figure by three in order to get 3 equal compartments. I found this when doing drawings on Autocad and my dims weren’t the same!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No it isn’t, because the measurements I used were for placement of the centre of the dividers, not the edge of the dividers. All the sections are equal spacing when you work to centres

[@KINGJ3R3MY]

That’s right if you started with an overall dim from the centre of the 2 outer rails (the side panels) but not if you took the starting dim from between these... as the centre compartment has 2 half’s of a divider and the 2 outer ones only have 1

[@fatbox100]

Awwww Kitty Kat wants some attention.

[@taitelennox4514]

your cat is so cute =)

[@esskayrepairrestoration8265]

Hi Keith. I noticed when you put the bit into your router it looked like you bottomed it out against the collet and that can be dangerous as it can cause the bit not to fully tighten - www.finewoodworking.com/2014/07/15/how-to-install-a-router-bit. There should be a mark on the spindle showing where to stop but they can rub off after a while. Can’t be too careful with those beasties!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Ok I wasn’t aware of that - thank you!

[@ModBay]

I didn't know that too! Thanks!

[@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK]

This was going to be my comment too. Fan of your chanel Keith and I'm not in the business of finger pointing other youtubers booboos....so please just consider this a well intended caution observation. Just back those router bits out about quarter of an inch.

[@taitelennox4514]

tape does very little to prevent tearout. A much better way is to take a very thin cut through the veneer either forwards or backwards through the blade to cut through the veneer on the bottom, and than make a second cut to fully cut through.

[@taitelennox4514]

The technique is very similar to when you cut veneered stock on a mitre saw, you first score the veneer, and than cut through. The tape worked on the veneered chipboard, but for thin veneered plywood, you will not get a better cut with tape.

[@keithbaker2641]

i all your videos you do a great. but you put your bit in the router to deep, hit bottom and pick up 1/4" and if you clean your bit they will cut better

[@gustavoarossini]

Hola, me gustó mucho los encastres pero cuando pusiste las escuadras no me gustó para nada

[@thebeardedartisan]

Keith, I don't see your name on the list of KZbinrs attending Maker's Central. Not your thing?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’ve not been asked but yeah also probably not my kinda thing !

[@RagnBoneBrown]

They did ask me if I wanted to “exhibit” but then said that “prices start at £550”

[@thebeardedartisan]

Crikey, start at £550?!?! That's a lot of commissions/sales just to break even! They have attracted some top KZbinrs so will be visiting 😃

[@ericmarcadal7898]

why not put pan screws ? it's more beautiful to hold the supports

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I didn’t have any

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Also the brackets aren’t visible so it doesn’t matter to me

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

Dillon break!

[@colh5910]

Hi Keith, love the style of the unit, but a better material in my opinion would be plywood which is stronger than particle board and easier to fix together. I´m afraid I agree with several others that the metal brackets are just not right, dowels in plywood work very well but you can use them in particle board too. Another option would be to use slim wooden supports glued and pin nailed. Please don´t take comments personally. People have different views and should be encouraged to express themselves and you don´t have to agree with them. You are an inpsiration to many of us who also like working with wood. Keep up the good work.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Dowels wouldn’t adhere well enough to chipboard in my opinion... the brackets will be stronger. I explained at the end re: the choice of material. Thanks

[@handcraftedbyadam3737]

1st

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

bugger!

[@beenwandering]

Stop what you're doing and pet that cat!

[@pauldonkin1964]

theres no such thing as a steel 'ruler' if it is steel it is a rule!

[@espjason]

I dont like the brackets lol

[@CerberusVelvet]

Pretty sure you meant to publish this one on April first? Because them brackets have got to be a joke!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Why?

[@CerberusVelvet]

Because usually your stuff is quite nice. Those brackets are a total bodge. Look at the screw heads standing proud on them for one. Never mind the fact that aesthetically they are awful, you’re going to catch the album sleeves on them and cause damage. Please tell me you used them to see what people would say? Also have you noticed how much the speed square moves when using it to guide the router? Can’t be great for your accuracy. Keep up the good work, I’m a fan. But those bodger-brackets are beneath you.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

What are you suggesting would be an improvement for the joinery then? Dowels would not adhere well to the inside of chipboard, hence why I didn’t use them. Biscuits are useless. I don’t have a domino. Screws through the top would look rubbish obviously. Glue wouldn’t be strong enough on its own especially if someone lifts it from the top. That’s why I chose brackets and screws to add strength. So come on, what would you do? Theres about 40mm gap between the top of the records and the brackets so no chance of them catching! If you were truly a fan of the channel, your comment would be less offensive and rude, and more constructive criticism.

[@CerberusVelvet]

I would have used confirmat screws. I haven’t been rude or offensive yet. Maybe try reading my comments with a different tone of voice? I’m sure you’re not made of glass.

[@davidcollier6180]

Accuracy sorry mate your using a felt tip 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RagnBoneBrown]

If I used a pencil or marking knife you wouldn’t be able to see it on video

[@davidcollier6180]

You did use pencil and we could see 🖒🖒

[@RagnBoneBrown]

When the camera was close. You wouldn’t when the camera was far away
