Yes, soft close. They are a must, especially with kids in the house!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha so true! Six year olds are mini wrecking balls.

[@emmojo3428]

What you said at 18:28 is so true. I'm a beginner woodworker and had a lot of trouble following the plans. I cut everything exact according to plan but sometimes it doesn't add up correctly. When I started following the dimensions on the workpeice instead of the plans, it all started coming together better.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Yeah buddy! It’s the best way to get a proper fit.

[@philgray4780]

Yes , soft close. I agree with you 100 percent. While a little unusual and unique it is very beautiful. all the elements you mention contribute to th end result . Congratulations , very well done

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Yes, it’s a bit unorthodox, however as a whole I think it works well.

[@MrAlbrimm]

Soft close really adds a smooth touch to a project. Great job!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

It steps up the quality a ton!. Thank you, cheers!

[@matthysloedolff]

Yes soft close hinges. I usually disable the soft close function on one or two of my sister's kitchen cabinets whenever I'm over for a family meal or something. It's hilarious to see her reaction when the doors close quite loudly. Great build, Shane. This is such a unique piece and very creative.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, that’s awesome. Thanks man!

[@diegocastaldo]

Yes! Soft close always. Adds great value for a small cost. And since most of my clients prefer to pay that little difference, I buy them in large quantities for even cheaper.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@howler5000]

Yes, soft close. Thanks for the video!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Awesome! Not a problem!

[@atomictyler]

yes and no to soft close. I like having one hinge with soft close. I find two soft close hinges is too slow of a close. Of course I always end up putting two soft close hinges in and then turning one off. I really should start buying both types and just install the one, at least for stuff I build that's staying in our house. love the walnut and white oak combo. I'm thinking of doing something similar to yours in terms of the two woods, but in reverse. Mostly white oak and some walnut accents. If there was an award for always cutting where a domino is I think I'd have one. I never fail to miss cutting where I have a domino.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Hey, I can totally get behind that. Some times you just want to close the door an move on. I think the reverse combo works really well too and don't worry, you aren't alone. 😀

[@joesenn8910]

Yes, soft close. What a beautiful piece of furniture. I really enjoy watching you build it

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Great channel! I effing love the jokes. Great placement and timing. You'll make it to a million subs. Great woodworking. Wish you the best. You're killing it!

[@hexa-b]

No........YES! Soft close. Every time. Awesome work. Love your videos. Keep it up.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha you had me there for a sec, I think they're still great too. Will do, and thank you!

[@flboy77]

Yes to soft close. Those angles look hard. I'm still trying to master 90, let alone 45, let alone those splayed leg angles.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Yeah, they were tricky. Even with a rough plan, I was quite relieved when everything lined up.

[@jackdelancey248]

Nice piece, I might have mitered the back in. After 47 years experience use soft close.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Oh, that’s a great idea too. I didn’t think about that. And thank you!

[@jimrosson6702]

Yes! Soft close for sure. Another beautiful piece of furniture wasn’t sure about the design in the beginning, but in the end, you tied it all together very well. It looks amazing

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I really appreciate that! Thank you for giving it a chance, I know it’s a little different but I too think it all came together in the end.

[@chefgoldielocs]

New subscriber here 👋🏾 Love the craftsmanship and jokes❤

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you, and welcome to the channel!

[@mattelias721]

Soft close, but only if I HAVE to do cabinet doors because they suck to install. Also - yes, I over-engineer everything so that my pieces will survive the Sun's inevitable death. Your design isn't in my range of preference, but what I enjoyed was seeing how you arranged all that complex cutting and assembly - underappreciated skill there, dude. I noticed your dad joke hand is still powerful, and now you've upped your game with Dad/Coach shorts... This Is The Way.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha thanks man, yeah this one was a lot trickier then it appears on camera. I had a lot of mimeograph relief when pieces came together.

[@jackdelancey248]

You might want to consider a planer blade or glue line blade for your table saw. You can glue up directly off the table saw.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I use a WWII for ripping which is really nice, but I still prefer the jointer since I have to use it for my initial set up anyway.

[@dobystrock9404]

Really incredible project! I love the MCM feel of the design but more updated. I think you nailed this one and I really like how you treated the legs. Another stunner! I'd love to see another combo piece like this.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I'm glad to hear that! Yeah, the legs were a fun to play with, I hope to do more like this.

[@biscuittreewoodworks]

That is a really neat idea, great job Shane!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks man! Glad you like it

[@5280Woodworking]

Yes soft close. Beautiful piece. I’m struggling with the rounded waterfall on my current project. I have a perfect waterfall with lovely walnut grain and I’m afraid to lose it. Did you consider rounding just front and back?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You will get a little distortion when you round over the miter but it’s not really noticeable. It’s just the nature of cutting into the middle of the board. But if you’re worried about it, just try the front and back and see how it looks. For me I think the rounded case made sense for the overall all look.

[@howieblack8958]

I love your designs and this is another killer one. I couldn’t figure out how this was going to work but you I think you pulled it off well. I like all the curves. Oh and yes, I still love soft close hinges. Your content is so good buddy keep up the hard work, it’s an inspiration for guys like me.

You had a dream and masterfully made it a reality. However, if this is what you dream then I do not want to see your nightmares. I do not understand what I am looking at but it is beautiful and I am wondering if I could use a tabinet...

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you for the eloquent response. I am happy that you enjoyed the video, and quite like the Tabiniet as well.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Sweet, welcome to the channel!

[@mensnightout08]

yes soft close. Hate to say it, but I think this baby needs a brother, maybe for the other side of the sofa! Hope you kept those angle measurements!!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, luckily I wrote down the angles on some scraps just in case. I should go find that.. But I don’t know about a brother, I was more thinking the chair to accompany it.

[@CreativeCarpentry]

Liked and subscribed so keep it coming 😊

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

You got it!

[@huck344]

Yes, Soft Close - Great Build. Was this commissioned? Or just a wild idea?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Not a commission, just wanted to try something different.

[@chriszen4128]

Yes soft close. Great project and video. I ordered Carbon Method via your link a few weeks back. Impressive so far. How are you liking the product so far?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! I’ve had zero issues with Carbon Method, everything is holding up really well. I’ve applied the carbon glide a few times at the jointer and table saw but that’s about it.

[@marmiz923]

Enjoyed the video and your jokes, thank you! I’m new to woodworking and I would like to ask a question: in this project the back of the cabinet is glued to the shell, so unless I’m missing something, it may not be able to expand and contract, correct? The same situation is with the shelves that are glued to the sides and their grain direction is perpendicular to the sides. Is this design going to work in the long run? Thank you

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed it, and welcome to the craft! As for your question, the rear panel though, snug isn't so snug it can't move a tad. The shelves however are another story as they are in pretty tight. But in this case wood movement isn't really a concern. The amount of movement that may occur is negligible, and each panel should move with the other. This isn't to say that some small gaps won't form over time, they probably will, as they would with any piece of furniture. Here though, it wasn't a concern.

[@marmiz923]

Thank you for replying. Best of luck!

[@elmaestro35]

Yes soft close. This was awesome loved the dad jokes, was not sure about the design and application of this project - but damn it still came out great. Also it took me a few rewinds, to get the highlander joke and then I got to my final dimension jajaja. And just like your cabinet, There can be only one. Great job.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, Thank you so much. I know it’s not a conventional design but it’s definitely conversational. Besides I think it gives me a reason to design a chair to accompany it.

[@elmaestro35]

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks smart move to think ahead, create one thing and then make another complimentary project.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Gotta keep the ball rolling 😀

A pair of them would look alright as bedside tables or couch side tables.

I'm working on a small ppe cabinet I'll give them a go see how it turns out

Yes soft close. On everything. Hinges, drawers, toilet seats, …

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha, that’s a new one. I think I’ll have to look into some toilet seat upgrades now.

[@Hiksan5]

Interesting and unususal design. I wish you had show it in a situation where it is in use. Now that you have lived it a bit, do you feel your design brief was sucessfull? End if not, what would you change?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! I think overall it was a success, though the design does require a specific placement for it to work properly. But overall I wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks for the great questions! And I’ll be sure to add a few in use shots in the future.

[@Mike222554]

9:28 what are those hold down clamp that you were using at the table?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

That is the Veritas hold-down clamp, I absolutely love them.

[@richdbolduc]

What does a "Maybe soft close" count for?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I can see where you’re coming from, sometimes the action gets in the way of just wanting a cabinet closed.
