As a custom knifemaker, I use lots of epoxy, and if you set your mixed epoxy container in cool water, it lengthens the working time of the epoxy. Just be careful not to get any water into your epoxy mix.

As a computer programmer, I have long known to continue breaking down large problems into smaller manageable tasks and steps. Yet I failed to apply this to my woodworking, so I very often limited myself to smaller projects where I could hold the entire task in my mind. I have started analyzing and planning wood projects as I do programming projects, and now have complete confidence in taking on bigger projects. With every step written down, I always know what to do next, and can schedule subtasks as I have the time or materials ready.

Another option for planing curved surfaces (another boat builder trick) is to use a compass plane, which has a sole you can adjust to match the desired curve. This works grand on larger curves, allowing a consistent curve. The spoke shave is great for working smaller curved details. Spoke planes are very common in chair building shops, and is one of their most used tools when shaping chair parts, after roughing them on a shave horse and spoke shave. Cheers

I love your work and your down-to-earth style. Your practical tips are always super helpful, thank you! I restore antique furniture. When determining whether or not a piece can be repaired, reversible glue joints (made with hide glue) are often the deciding factor. Your beautiful work is going to mean a lot to your kids & grandkids. If way down the road they want to repair or restore a piece to its original glory, those epoxy joints are going to limit the possibilities. And the quality of your work IS going to last generations, I guarantee it. NOTHING is more stressful than a hot hide-glue clamp up, I totally get it. But I would love to see you teach the world how to do them. Thanks again for all your excellent content - you seem like a lovely person.

I love watching woodworkers work and seeing all the little differences in the way things are done. Having been a professional woodworker in my early years at which time I did a lot of dressers, apparently the techniques have changed quite a bit. One technique that we used on our early american dressers was to use hide glue, giving us more time to do a careful assembly. I don't remember a time when we'd not check for square in all directions and adjust clamps clamps to make sure that the "box" was perfectly square. But I don't see any videos showing this finishing technique. How do you make sure? Or is the technique still used but not shown?
@biscuittreewoodworks8 ай бұрын
I did check my drawer boxes to ensure they are square once I put the clamps on and before the glue dried. It just might not have made it into the video. The great thing about using dovetails, especially with a jig like this, is the joint makes the boxes pretty much self squaring. If the joints are tight, it has not option but to be perfectly square. I also don't use hide glue, but will use epoxy if I need more time to work than I get with regular wood glue.

@biscuittreewoodworks6 ай бұрын
Hi John! Glad you enjoyed the video! The main reason I don't apply finish to the inside of the drawers is it can take months or even years for the smell to dissipate in an inclosed space like a dresser. Especially if you are using an oil based finish. Even worse, that odor will permeate the clothes as well! For this reason, the inside of most cabinets and dressers are left unfinished. If you wanted to apply some kind of protective finish I would recommend shellac. Shellac will cure very quickly and shouldn't produce an odor after the mineral spirits have completely evaporated.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! As for your question: No, I'm not worried at all. Here's why. Rubio Monocoat is a polymerizing oil wax blend. It is very good at sealing the wood and preventing moisture intrusion. Also, the cherry I used is very stable and not prone to cupping. Third, even though I live in a high humidity climate, our home has centralized heating and cooling which keeps the humidity pretty low throughout the year. Thanks for the question!
