Making a Sloped Front Drawer - Desk Build Ep.8

[@kairon156]

Nice to see you are willing to use screws when needed. Awesome desk so far.

[@ifirexx5673]

You got me at the dovetail joint!!

[@bbbbbdddbbbbbdb]

you really show such a great view of workflow thank you

[@VORONM]

Man! How do you succeed?! I admire you! It 's a real upper-class carpentry job! When I watch your hands, my breath stops. It 's the best joinery work I 've seen in recent times online.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! It's not that hard, just take it little by little from the beginning, have the stock squared, good marking and measure then the sawing and chiseling will be very easy :)

[@britneyfreek]

Adrian Preda and sharp tools! learned that again the hard way a few days ago.

[@lasabras506]

Simply gorgeous

[@caprehsun]

your craftsman-ship is honestly so incredible. the precision it takes to build this kind of thing is only something I can dream of.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

Hello my friend. very nice. bravo. thank you. so much . be happy

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

[@StanCrafted]

This is such a great series...beautiful design and flawless execution...can't wait to see the finished desk...

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it, hope to make more in the future with bigger projects like this.

[@StanCrafted]

@@AdrianPreda Looking forward to that!

[@alexchiperi]

Bravo, Adrian!

[@AdrianPreda]

Mersi Alex!

[@DomBloch]

I thought you would never use a power tool! I loved it! hahaha! Thanks for the video. It makes me so calm and relaxed. I forget I even exist! Can't wait for the top build!

[@AdrianPreda]

Glad you liked it!! Haha, I have a manual drill, but is too long to fit in those spaces :)

[@peternewman9713]

I thought you would never use glue! Beautiful work!

[@klemens1346]

Over the top!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Awesome! Very good dovetails and compound angles! Thank you for sharing.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Robert!

[@homeandgarden7688]

Looks so nice. I love the design. I think the shadow gap will look great. Keep on going and share with us. I really enjoy your videos. I think you are one of the best woodworking video channels on KZbin. Greetings from Germany

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks very much! Yes, I think looks more nice with those chamfers extended. I didn't opted to make a perfect flushed miters with the rails and the drawer front because for sure things there are not perfect, even if the top will get twisted just the bit they will not align, so I decided to extend them and make a design feature from that

[@roosterrugburn]

Whenever I use a shooting board I get terrible tear out. Awesome job.

[@AdrianPreda]

If you mean on end grain, that end split, is because the fence got shortened. On long grain I got too when the grain is changing, otherwise I look always to match it but not all wood is constant. Thanks!

[@roosterrugburn]

Adrian Preda I still have a long way to go, but once I cut my dovetails by hand I was hooked. It’s all just practice from here. LOVE your channel though. One of my favorites.

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

The creaking noise at 7:14 👌👌👌 love that sound

[@AdrianPreda]

Yes, but after a million push in pull out I added few drops of glue to keep it secured😀

[@Ashe_Fenrir]

@@AdrianPreda I'm not a glue/nails/duct tape hater so I will not protest your mastery of Japanese joinery just for that haha

[@AdrianPreda]

Haha :) Btw I just made a stock with some nice looking forged nails, thinking now for a project to make

[@eddiestipe2009]

You are such a craftsman. It is enjoyable to watch you work. Look forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing. Please take care and be safe.

[@AdrianPreda]

Gracias!

[@Tom-rc7oy]

Stunning work, as always!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@DanielVeillard]

Very tasteful ! On my desk I did the drawers in a similar fashion but dovetails runs from bottom to top, drawer front slides down in position, can't fell if join becomes loose and the mortise are hidden as a result. Nice work as usual :-)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! I noticed that too, it seems somehow unnatural, but let's say that it will loose and fall, the plywood will hold it in place.

[@DanielVeillard]

@@AdrianPreda right it won't just fall, that's a solid design :-) !

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Absolutely incredible detail.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! Lucky here I use only the sunlight, nice natural light, but it can be pain too, I stop when cloudy🙂

[@humancorrector-473]

Great series. Didnt you want to make side rails for drawer a bit thicker in width, so drawer would pull in or out not so sloppy but pretty straight?

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! They are about 0.5mm thinner than the slots just to compensate any miss-alignments.

[@LeoNovel]

Amazing job! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@christianestrada5362]

I really like the use of different woods. Would the use of wood rails at some point tighten the fit of the drawer? I'm still learning about these things so I don't know very much about this type of work.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! If I had more walnut I would have done the entire desk from it :) Now this was mostly a prototype and something to experiment, that's why I used that cherry. Probably the rails will expand a bit, but I've let them a bit loose just for that plus when I will be fitting the top for sure there will be some movements there, twists, etc and will alter the tightness

[@christianestrada5362]

@@AdrianPreda Interesting. Thank you for replying. :)

[@britneyfreek]

what’s that little router plane at 8:54?

[@AdrianPreda]

It's a Veritas Miniature router plane

[@britneyfreek]

Adrian Preda crazy. they have a complete series of mini planes as small as a finger. cute.

[@AdrianPreda]

Yes, I have four till now. This router, plow plane, chisels and the low angle smoothing plane. Hope one day to get them all :))

[@AdrianPreda]

And they are very functional too, one more, one less, depending on the work, but the router I believe is the most used, it's a great companion close to its bigger sister, or mother whatever :))

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

Mesmerizing and amazingly done as always! Do you ever use sandpaper or is it straight up planes that's used? And if so, why? FYI I got my planks yesterday! They are sooo beautiful! Now I just need to figure out what to do with them, have a carpenter help me maybe or something. 🤔

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! I do use of course, mostly when I am not capable to have it smooth directly from plane, tearout etc Here that cherry was very permissive, I was able to plane it easily. Not the same with ash or others devil's woods :) Great, you can try plane it yourself, at least do the backs of the slabs.. If you think you will screw them at least they will not be visible, then take them to a workshop

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

@@AdrianPreda - Ahhh I see. 🤣 It just struck me that I didn't remember seeing you sand ever. Haha. Then i would have to buy a plane, and if I need a carpenter to work on it then I would have bought a plane for no reason other than trying it out. 🤷‍♂️

[@AdrianPreda]

Maybe you'll get the taste for handtools, then get into the never ending pit of buying woodworking tools :))

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

@@AdrianPreda - I already have the taste for both hand tools and woodworking in general, I just don't have a space to do it in. I live in a 41 sq. m. apartment and don't have a workshop. :(

[@makena70danielmascas]

Meserie! Direct like 👍 și aprecieri 👏

[@AdrianPreda]

Mersi!

[@Roma-mr1ry]

Admire your work, Adrian. But these sharp corners underside of tabletop can be a real pain to your legs. It isn’t just an opinion, but an experience)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Ah, maybe the inner side of the drawer front will be problematic, mostly if you sit cross leg on the chair :) I will have a small armchair using it, so it will be lower than an usual desk chair

[@Roma-mr1ry]

Ive made such drawer to my table recently, simple rectangular. Sitting isn’t a problem. You may hurt yourself when you gonna stand up.

[@willd2609]

Ugh this is far and away my favourite series on KZbin yet. Any chance of you doing an FAQ at the end? Even if it’s just written answers on a medium article with accompanying jazz playlist? 😆

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! I was planing to make a blog post explaining more details about the design, techniques I choose etc This project was more of a learning experience, during build I got other ideas for future desks :)

[@joegee1699]

Frickin' 5£ for a plough plane... what a deal!

[@AdrianPreda]

Yes, got it from a old, vintage store in Uk some years ago when I was in holiday. Just gave it a polish with a drill brush and changed the rails (it had some freaking plastic tubes) with 10mm bars like those used in CNC/3d printers.

[@britneyfreek]

Adrian Preda wtf. do they not know what they’re selling? here they go only on ebay for at least 100€. used!

[@AdrianPreda]

Ah, not sure if it goes to 100. I remember I looked on ebay and saw them at about 25-40 euros with blades also. Mine was naked. Probably a 15euro/pounds was more suitable. But this 44C plow plane is not the great of all, it was a common sold plane in the 70-90s I believe, there are other types, dont remeber the no., better built quality. The Veritas plow plane is 150 euros :)

[@Brickzie]

Sometimes I doubt if your projects are even real. I mean, you put so much effort on precision and perfection, surely they are priced too high for anyone to buy...are you doing this just for youtube videos?? I mean furniture projects. It's just way too high standard!

[@AdrianPreda]

No, furniture projects I make only for myself, at least for now :) Products I make for sale are small, like Japanese lamps, Shoji Panels, Keepsake boxes etc, those I made clips in the past

[@Brickzie]

Adrian Preda your dedication inspired me to continue pursuing woodworking even though I'm from a different field. Really excited to see future projects big or small. This may sound weird but can feel your dedication through your videos haha so great work in both your projects and your videos!
