The hidden key , to gain access to the Cognac hiding in the corner compartment - big like from me !

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Wally. You are always one of the first to watch my videos. Friday afternoon, so I may have to unhide the Cognac!! Take care. James

Wow. Great looking piece. Beautifully made. Well done.

[@onehandedmaker]

@Jamessmithwoodworking Thanks James. I'm sitting here looking at it as I respond. Still a stunning piece of furniture. Regards James

[@Kinnibari]

That’s really lovely! Also nice to see all your chiseling techniques, the magnet one was particularly nice

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks for watching. I need to make an adjustable angle magnet version. Stay safe James

[@onehandedmaker]

Another wonderful and encouraging comment. Many thanks James

[@newberrywoodshop3981]

I've have 2 arms and I couldn't do that! Absolutely amazing work!!

[@onehandedmaker]

I don't know! Anyone who plays drums, keeps tortoises and likes woodwork could give it a fair go! Regards James

[@Yarmles]

Love the hidden compartment, the over all design and execution were fantastic, great work 🥃

[@onehandedmaker]

I love opening the hidden compartment for visitors.

[@FallingSunAcres]

Excellent Build! Those tambour doors are slick!

[@onehandedmaker]

They were fun to make.

[@thisandthat7589]

Very nice cabinet James. I love the grain. Nice warm feel to it! The hidden area is a great idea too.

[@onehandedmaker]

The hidden compartment is seriously cool, I love opening it up for visitors. Love your channel FYI

@onehandedmaker Your welcome James, first video of yours I've seen I think. I'm going to watch your chessboard build tonight. 😊

[@ping170]

I love this secret compartment 👍

[@onehandedmaker]

Hi, and good to hear you liked the cabinet build.

[@EMWoodworking]

Beautiful piece. Personally I like the sound of of planing.

[@onehandedmaker]

You know what? Planing is a more relaxing sound now that you mentioned it. Now I can honestly say I love both! Many thanks James

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Absolutely stunning work again James. Love the design and the execution of the build is simply fantastic. Great videography as well pal, keep the great content coming 😀😀👍👍

Beautiful piece of furniture!

[@onehandedmaker]

So glad you liked it.

[@ChristopherTrybus]

Well done! Inspiring- Ive always wanted to do a tambour piece. this really brings all the details together nicely on this one. hopefully you dent tell wifey about he hidden compartment!..

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Chris. I recommend doing a tambour build on your channel. Jo owns the Cognac so maybe the secrets out!

[@320workshops]

Wow, that was really well done! I have never tackled tambour doors but would like to try that. I love the pace of your videos and your sense of humor! I have subscribed will be watching for more!

[@onehandedmaker]

Hi 320! Love your channel, reminds me of working in the early days of restoring furniture which was how I learned a lot by pulling stuff apart. Regards James

[@dylanbarfieldfurniture]

Beautiful piece! Well done.

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Dylan It was so satisfying to finally use the cedar 3x3s I've been carting around for 30+years! Note to self, never throw anything away, well not wood anyway! Loving your videos and look forward to the next one. Regards James

[@FixitFingers]

Awesome work James! sexy tambour and the perfect hidden treat ;)

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks James. It's been a lovely addition to our growing furniture collection.

[@coolabahwoodworking]

How did i miss this! such a cool project mate! what a talent man! Love the hidden surpries in the end!

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Tom. This one is such a joy to have in the house and visitors have shown interest in owning one. Your videos are getting better and better my friend. Regards James

[@coolabahwoodworking]

@@onehandedmaker thanks mate appreciate it. The only thing I would have improved in yours is to replace the cognac with a bottle os scotch 😂 great piece

[@WoodTalent]

That's Awesome project , love your talent 🤎👏

[@onehandedmaker]

Thank you so much for the comment and the compliment. This cabinet is sitting in my lounge room and still make me happy. I will be checking out your channel soon. Regards James

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Very nice piece. The key made sense but I was wondering why you needed to access it from the front. Then I was wondering about that wasted space between the support and the rounded end and you didn't disappoint with your surprise. I really like the detail of the dovetail with the miter too. I'm designing a credenza for a future build and was thinking dovetails but was wavering toward miters to get the look from the front I wanted. Now I realized, why not both! Thanks for the video!

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Keaton. Appreciate your support and very happy to read your comment. Will be watching more of your amazing channel!

[@MPLMWorkshop]

Niceeee, up to 12:30 I was wondering how you are going to insert the doors. Genius method. And the hidden part. So cool.

[@onehandedmaker]

It was so tricky picking it up and trying to get the bendy tambour in the groove. Would have been a good blooper.

[@jrutstudio]

What a cool build! I have been itching to make some tambour and probably will very soon.

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Joe. Highly recommend making a small tambour first. This build was mammoth. Love your channel FYI

[@spandexcore]

Great job. Looks amazing

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@nicodell6192]

What a great piece

[@onehandedmaker]

Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment Nic. Thank you so much.

Beautiful craftsmanship. Loved the video. Thankyou

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks, David. I will be visiting the wonderful city of Melbourne in April. Love your channel FYI

[@GlassonDesignStudio]

Nice work mate.

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks for checking out my work. Love your channel FYI.

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Fantastic build enjoyed that

[@onehandedmaker]

Thanks Grumpy. Love your channel FYI!

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Thanks mate appreciate that. Need to get back into the swing of it. Since losing my wife just over a year ago 2 days before Christmas I've kinda lost my motivation. But I'm determined to get back into it soon. Looks like you're way more skilled than me.

[@roberthaynie8473]

You sir are a hell of a hand! I don't mean that as a rude pun. Your work is amazing. I watched the video of the chess board 1st then hidden drawer and now this one. I really want to try a project with tambour and I love hidden drawers and latches. Thank you for the inspiration make some more videos please. God bless.

[@onehandedmaker]

Hi Robert, Thankyou for such a beautiful and welcomed comment. Just finished a Cajon build and working on the video. I hope to do some cameo instrumental work with the Cajon as part of the video. Keep well. James

[@MJLWoodWorks]

I have been waiting patiently for your next build and it was well worth the wait! Your techniques and "work-arounds" are outstanding and inspirational! Filming angles and your witty banter are a win also. The sound of chiseling is music to my ears. I often listen to ASMR videos of shop noise just to battle my tinnitus when falling asleep or during nap time...(yep, I said it, I', old enough to start taking naps again 🤪) Nice table saw trick for the finger pull on the handle and I was wondering how you were going to get the tambour door in after you had already glued up the cabinet. I learned a lot in this video! Muscle Pete is a good man! Happy wife, happy life! The cabinet is gorgeous! Cheers to the hidden Cognac compartment! One last thing...How did you fix getting the tambour door all the way in since the slot that you cut didn't work out at first?

[@onehandedmaker]

Hey Mike, Good to hear from you way over in the USA and thanks for checking out my latest creation. Love your comment and the need for a nap now and then, just hard to get to sleep when I'm dreaming up the next build! Well,.. the tambour slot, THE TAMBOUR SLOT! I just cut out a chunk of timber, top and bottom then made up an infill bit which was screwed in to fill the gap. I learned tambour only bends in one direction! Loving your channel content bye the way. Regards James

[@MJLWoodWorks]

@@onehandedmaker hey James! Thanks so much for the response and the compliment on my content! It’s no where as good as yours but I am trying to carve my own niche not unlike you tambour slot.. it may take a few tries 😀 Love your channel and keep making! And yes! I can’t sleep at night sometimes because I’m obsessing over something with what I’m building but lunch time rolls around, I have a bite to eat then I’m out! 🤣 Please feel free to keep in contact if you wish. Be well!
