Making a Stunning Walnut Whiskey Cabinet Build | Woodworking

[@zebrone4837]

Very nice build. I use that exact same finishing process too. Excellent choice

[@vanvleetwoodworking]

I love making cabinets like these. There is so much detail packed into such a little piece that you really have to pay attention. It also gives you some freedom to try some thing at the same time. This piece is fantastic!

[@GM_Design]

Thank you very much! 😀

As ever, I am mesmerised by your work and the cabinet is beautiful! Thank you.

[@GM_Design]

You are so welcome! 😀

Hi Gary, I loved the treatment you gave to the panel in the door. It really did "pop" out that grain! Brilliant. And now I have a bad case of "Tool-Drool-Envy" - LOL! OMG, those tools! Great videography as always. 💯 👍

[@GM_Design]

thank you so much 😀

[@ischgl9972]

I just watched Eric’s whiskey cabinet video yesterday, now yours this morning. I think the whiskey gods are telling me I need to make one too lol. Great job on the cabinet!

[@GM_Design]

thanks 👍 everyone needs a whiskey cabinet 😀

Only a few minutes in and I can say, I like your work.

[@GM_Design]

thank you 👍

[@thefishingwoodworker]

Nice work..I made one just the other day. I did copy Eric's coopered door, it was a lot of hand work, but really enjoyable. I also use his finish, and has quickly became my favorite. Really enjoyed your video.

[@GM_Design]

thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😀

You sure it's a drinks cabinet and not a shrine to Eric 😂 as always loving the projects

[@GM_Design]

thanks, you might be right 😀

[@shaunbailey1033]

Beautiful build, I’ve subscribed and I also love Eric just a little bit 😁

[@GM_Design]

Awesome! Thank you! 😀

[@jimshaver898]

I always enjoy your videos, your woodworking represents a lot of what I do as well, although I am more handtool than you are. Nicely done… I’m trying to figure out the general dimensions height with length? Thank you.

[@GM_Design]

thanks, so pleased you enjoy my videos 😀 The dimensions are roughly H700xW230xD150mm, hope that helps 👍

[@jimshaver898]

@@GM_Design Great ratio's Thank you

[@georgedennis2719]

could you link to the white marker you use on dark woods. I've been using white colored pencil from the art supply store, which often break and don't hold a point very long. Oh, and the cabinet is gorgeous. Thanks

[@GM_Design]

thanks glad you like it 😀 It’s a pica pencil, here is a link www.amazon.co.uk/Pica-Pencil-Longlife-Automatic-Lasting/dp/B002X7Y90U?th=1 You have to buy the white refills separately but it works a treat 👍

[@anthonymcroberts2760]

Looks like you've watched a few new Yankee workshop videos then gone to Axminster and spent an absolute fortune on everything they recommend you'd need to get started

[@GM_Design]

might have bought the odd thing from them here & there!

[@anthonymcroberts2760]

@@GM_Design is it your day job or a hobby

[@GM_Design]

it started as a hobby but from that I’m now working part time for another woodworking company while also doing my own stuff 👍

[@anthonymcroberts2760]

@GM_Design No offence but I thought you had started as a hobby a few things you did gave me an incling but your finished job didn't look to bad.👍

[@KilgoreTrout4343]

Gorgeous. Do you use a hybrid of traditional European and Japanese cabinetry techniques?

[@GM_Design]

thanks 😀 yeah I’ll use whichever technique suits the job at hand 👍

[@wtxrcdog]

What kind of hand held router are you using? Nice work

[@GM_Design]

thanks 😀 that’s a Bosch router www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/products/gkf-12v-8-06016B0072?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA9YK1suoxXBdq-U_EwJGJk3KGPwS2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwuG1BhCnARIsAFWBUC00NBpsHAgUZMJZ5xAQ2MxHEmdNN-UTiL23x8GskrGAjQy7zqvM2okaAmRsEALw_wcB 👍

[@theofarmmanager267]

Very nice box - and very nice work. I must try that red stain option. Interesting about hand tools. If you are making for your own pleasure, then you can use whatever methods please you bearing in mind what tools and machinery you might have. If you are making for profit, then clearly time is money. Will people pay significantly more for a piece made with few or none powered machinery? Will people pay more because of the feature if it has not benefit? I think that it’s commonly accepted that using the phrase “hand made” doesn’t mean that every part is made without the use of powered equipment (be that machinery to fell the tree; bandsaw to rough cut; router, sander to finish; electric light and heat etc. etc). I think the common understanding that hand made means a piece where a human uses powered equipment to assist in the making but retains the strong element of hand tools. That seems sensible to me. In the pursuit of making a living therefore, I don’t think it would be practically possible or economically feasible to use only hand tools and no electric input. The other reason, as all of you will find out in due course, is that you as you get older and older, the amount of physical work that a body can take diminishes almost daily. I love the act of hand planing but can’t do more than a couple of minutes before my shoulders start screaming. So, I have to ration what I do by hand and what I subcontract to my machinery. All of this is, I admit, a bit of a rambling but I hope it just starts a conversation in your mind as to the question of what gives me pleasure; what is a feature and what is a benefit and the sheer problem of making fine woodworking a paying job.

[@GM_Design]

thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍

[@williamcooper5009]

I had some whiskey while I watched this….

[@GM_Design]

perfect combination 👍

[@HandcraftedByMPD]

Can anyone really blame you for Eric being your man crush?

[@alfonsocastaneda3830]

Hola por favor me puede usted dar el nombre del cepillo que usted utiliza para la testa de la madera y marca del cepillo por favor perdone las molestia gracias

[@GM_Design]

hola, gracias por mirar. No estoy seguro de lo que estás preguntando, creo que se perdió en la traducción. Si me deja saber la marca de tiempo en la que uso la herramienta, con gusto le haré saber cuál es. gracias

[@mccrich8094]

Gary, I really like your work. I like your focus on hand tool woodworking. I mean no offense but I would find it a little easier to watch without the "Dusty Boys" tabletop. It distracts from being easier to see the details of what you are doing. Thanks for making the videos.

[@GM_Design]

thanks, so pleased you like my work 😀 I’ll look into a plain worktop mat to replace the dusty boys one, thanks for the feedback 👍
