Woodworking : Recreating Colonial Corbel : How-To

[@Captblue715]

How many of us, appreciate your honesty in your work, process, and how your shop looks so real! Thank you for your inspiration and proof that your skills and ingenuity trump expensive tools.

Yes, they could have been made on a CNC, but that would have been far less entertaining to watch. I learned a ton from this build. Many thanks.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

I learned a lesson throwing tools in frustration: I threw a craftsman shopvac down on the floor...yes, I was THAT angry-whomever designed it with crappy wheels that wouldn't rollover its own cord.... The vac bounced off the floor 2 feet and was unharmed. The floor deflected enough that the nails popped on the sheetrock ceiling below. Lesson to me: the townhomes in Bucks Co PA have shoddy construction and the rockers never used "glue and screws". Oh, Loved the Toboggan work! Re: CNC, in the time it takes to setup, you already made a jig-I've researched them and unless you are doing production work, a one-off jig is simpler. Now, I have considered getting one (take up dimensional space) as to sub-out work for a contractor I know. Welcome to Restoration!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

That's good to know about the CNC. My floor is concrete so the jigsaw didn't bounce hahahahahaha.

[@petedazer3381]

I use a jig saw almost every day to make rectangular holes in steel and stainless steel electrical panels. After burning up two of those cheap dewalt saws like you have, I finally spent 50 more dollars and bought a new, really sweet Bosch saw. Much better, imho. Great video as usual! Oh, and of course, happy Saturday!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

I have used a Bosch one before and the are really nice. When I finally get sick and tired of dealing with this one that's probably what I will get. Happy Saturday to you too!

[@grahamparsons6620]

They turned out great, I too suffer with impatience at times especially when waiting for things to dry, I love the way you break things down into stages so what might seem a daunting Project becomes more manageable, also I am glad I am not the only one who thinks things can get done far quicker than reality allows 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Yeah drying times KILL me hahahaha.

[@yvonboudreau3932]

I love how your problem solving methods are well thought out and very creative. Have a great day.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@Paulo01111]

Another great project, thanks for sharing. Absolutely agree re' hardware on timber, I've had to replace most of the newer balustrades on my house because a nail gun was used to tack on the balusters. The older parts of the house (1900s) the original builders used dowels and false tenons and they are as good as new. Hope your valentine have something nice planned for this weekend for you.

Greetings from Pennsylvania!

Très joli travail bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

[@tdck6186]

Normally I would have walked away from something like this but you always make it where it wakes me up to start thinking more about breaking it down into small processes to achieve the end goal. Great job. Always look forward to your next video.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks! Recreations like this can be one of the things I enjoy doing the most. figuring out the process is a fun challenge. And a nice change of pace.

[@halkester9368]

Hals Wood Shop. Thank you for a lesson in jigs and routing. Nice work. Usable lesson in corbells for mantles and trim.

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

This is a masterclass in problem-solving and technique - thank you for taking so much time to let us see your work. It's hard to imagine how any of your videos would be too long to watch though I am mindful of the time you need to edit them. I am curious as to how you quote a price on such bespoke pieces bearing in mind how often things took longer than you expected?

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

This was a funny one because I had just watched an old episode of This Old House on KZbin and Norm talked about replacing corbels on the house and how much the company charged. Like two weeks later I got contacted about this job. I just marked it up a bit because it was an older episode and went with that.

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

@@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks Great timing! That's interesting, thank you.

[@jimkelly8473]

I see no dust protection..Awesome work n thinking your problems through... Thank you so much for sharing..

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Yeah, I don't remember if I had dust protection at that time.

[@northroadwoodwork8616]

"My jigsaws not that great....I've definitely thrown it a few times" LMAO. I tend to throw the work piece, not the tools, but experience some shop rage nonetheless. Cool project, we do a lot of architectural millwork, so right up my alley. ✌

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Yeah, need to work on my counting to ten skills.

[@davidkraiger4377]

Nice job. They look great

[@andrewlussier1201]

Nice job

[@Thomas-wn7cl]

Speaking of the jigsaw, "I have definitely throw it a couple times." That's my type of carpenter. I usually beat the hell out of something with my hammer as to spare my tools.

[@kimallen6604]

Would you mind sharing how much you charged for each of those. Thank you

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Since I still have four more of these to make I haven't invoiced this out yet and don't have a final price for it honestly.

[@moonlightsnowfall6734]

Nice work thanks.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@kimallen6604]

Will you share what you charged?

[@scottmcfarland1177]

A C.N.C. would speed up the process but it also equals unemployment! And what skill does that require and what pride does one have in doing something if the machine creates the whole piece! Figuring out the process in the build equals skill! Nice job I noticed a lot of the Fir had Quarter sawn and rift sawn grain they should be real stable and last quite sometime!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Very true about the CNC.

[@clydedecker765]

"Ridiculously impatient ..." -- Just think what you could do with patience! (And a shop with real machines!) But you loved it anyway..🤣🤣

[@scottstoner1576]

I enjoy watching her adapt the build process to fit the machines that are available.

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

So impatient with painting hahahaha.

[@jorgealexandru7561]

👏👏👏👏 👍

[@cabman86]

This kind of work is why I bought a scroll saw.

[@cabman86]

That's the same scroll saw I started with. These are gorgeous!

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Thanks!

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi, I hope you checked for lead content before you started removing the paint, it can be quite dangerous

[@HoneyBadgerWoodWorks]

Lead content is a good thing to point out. I didn't take this down to bare wood or sand this so there wasn't a huge concern for lead dust but for sure it would have been smart to test for lead.
