Well done Morgan.
Thank you!
With this design of the shelves, the load on the glued seam is unsuccessfully distributed.
Everything else is beautifully designed and impeccably executed. It's finally just beautiful.
Great job, great result. Like.
Absolutely beautiful. Those dovetails are as good as the master maker at Colonial Williamsburg.
Wow, thank you!
Gorgeous piece. Great work.
Thank you very much!
The door corners with the outside runner look awesome.
I know right! Definitely a subtle feature but one I'm going to try incorporating into more project!
Amazing job dude!
Mike Pekovich is the man!
He's been a massive inspiration since I started woodworking, love his work!
A beautiful piece of work. You go beyond wood working and create a wood art form that reflects your tastes. 👍
Thanks!
The panel is a strikingly beautiful centrepiece and the contrasting drawer interiors are an appealing extra.
Thank you, I've been saving the piece of wood I used for the panel for a while and just had to find the right project to use it on!
Great design, great execution, and great documentation of the process. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for watching!
Actually I find your commentary to be very helpful in helping me understand the thought processes of a project and the nuances you run across, thank you.
Thank you Dean, I really appreciate you taking the time say that!
James Wright would approve of your use of white on. Just stumbled across your channel and already thoroughly enjoying it.
They’re not mistakes, they’re happy little accidents😉
If I've learned anything about woodworking it's that the mistakes are what makes a project really special!
Glad your enjoying the channel and thanks for watching!
i am a student and just saw tthe video! lovely :D
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Now that's one of the best pieces of old style furniture I've ever seen.. incredibly done.. a source of inspiration 🙌🏼
Thank you, glad you like it!
Beautiful timber selection...so rare to see...well done!!!
Thanks, I haven't seen anything this good since I got this board! Every once in a while when you're at the lumber yard make sure you dig through the pile, these ones are sometimes hidden at the bottom of the pile!
Absolutely beautiful job! I am a fan of your work flow, this is exactly how I would love to build furniture, power tools for the majority of the cut then come in with nice hand tools to sneak up in the fit while just enjoying the moment
That really is the best way to do it! I've tried doing everything by hand and it takes way to long, do everything with power tools and it's hard to get those perfect joints!
Very well made, simple and beautiful. Bravo, from France.
Glad you like it!
now that's very nice looking. Amazing job.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful once again. I have now finished all your previous videos. Took a week. Well worth it.
Nice, I really appreciate you going back and watching my videos!
Good job on a beautiful cabinet. I think your fixes made for some really appealing details.
Thank you, I honestly love it when I screw something up because it's always fun to try and find an interesting fix!
Nice project and you have a good technique. Thanks for sharing with us, Steve
You are very welcome
Nice build. The door fix was elegant. As you know, woodworkers are the only ones that would ever notice such a tiny flaw. The majority of people will never notice, and I have learned to not point them out.
That's exactly why I've been trying to have more fun with the "fixes". Especially this door, it really is something that only woodworkers really notice!
I must say this is my favorite cabinet on RUclips I tried one the same and used Walnut for my panel but it's not a warping. I also use copper for the handle which I love bit large but it works
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
I love the idea of copper hardware on walnut, those colors would really look amazing with each other. Did you make the hardware yourself or do you know a place that makes the hardware?
Wow, great contrast. I love how the darker figure of the crotch panels is brought out even more by the touches of walnut. This is something I have been wanting to add to my bathroom and take down the Home Depot oak cabinet in there. I'm not a big fan of oak, but I do have a lot of maple and walnut. I think that will look ok. I want to replace the trim around the existing recessed medicine cabinet, but now I think I will make a new one that matches the cabinet too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad I could help, a maple and walnut cabinet would look really sweet!
hi im from phillipines , im a painter and carpenter, ilove wood woorks and paint works, if i had a tools like that i work everyday making wood and paint job , i wish i had, god bless to your channel
Best thing is to start small and get tools as you need them. What's most important is having a love for the craft, which it sounds like you have!
Amazing skills, you are very big talent bro!Nice skills with hand tools!You are amazing!!!
Thank you very much!
Very nice Morgan. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stunning! Love the grain design and variety of wood type used. Thanks for sharing!
I still haven't seen a more interesting grain pattern since this project!
Looks beautiful. Great job brother.
Thanks for working your way through my videos!
Love it, I watch this at work wishing I was in the shop.
I think the reason manufacturers make dado stacks a little less than the stated size is because the manufacturing process is imperfect, and you can always shim it out wider, but you can't remove material to make the blades thinner
Great point! It would really suck if you set up a dado stack for a 1/4" and it came out .01" over sized. It really is way better to add a small shim to the undersized blades to dial in the width.
Good looking piece.
Chiselling into your hand doing the hinge made me wince a bit.
Not convinced about your drawer bottom grain direction (I'd make ply if I wanted to show grain running front to back) or the breadboard ends (Since they're the pieces that'll move out of step with shelf and sides, I'd prolly fasten at the front and trim them shy of the back)
Thanks!
The drawer bottoms are small enough that any wood movement is negligible, and I can safely say after two years that there hasn't been any issues.
This video is great! The piece is beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing. I have been addicted to woodworking videos on RUclips for the last 2 years and I have NO IDEA how I had never come across any of your videos until tonight. I subscribe to about 40 different RUclips woodworkers, and now you as well. How in the world do you not have more subscribers and how do your videos not have more views?!? I am about 10 videos deep into your channel and it is clear that you are a great craftsman. Well done, Sir, and I am so glad I found your channel.
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad you're enjoying my video! Hopefully it won't be much longer until the channel takes off, but until then I'm just gonna keep working at it slowly!
Wow! So beautiful! 💪💪💪
Thank you!!
Outstanding job. This cupboard looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome job! Thank you for showing the errors and how you overcame them to make this look so good!
I always love making mistakes on projects, although in the moment it really sucks, it usually leads to some pretty cool results!
Absolutely beautiful! Great work
Thank you very much!
Thank you, we really enjoyed a job well done
My pleasure!
Gorgeous!!
Beautiful wood and a really great job. 👍👍👍
Glad you like it!
This was very in depth. Great video
Glad you liked it!
By the way: Why the heck do you have so few followers? You deserve way more. Keep it up!
Honestly, I'm just really bad with social media!
Hell of a job!
Thanks!
Beautiful work, I love the breadboard ends on the shelves. I wasn't so sure I would when you started but the results are beautiful. I am definitely considering doing that on a similar project.
The breadboard ends on the shelves definitely seem a little overkill but they work great and even a year later the shelves are still perfectly flat!
That looks fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That is a really nice craft cabinet.
Thank you!
Very nice work!!! keep it up buddy. Look forward to seeing more of your projects
Thank, I appreciate that!
Nicely done.
Thanks!
Great work! You inspire me to try some more difficult projects. Loved the video.
You can definitely do it, on each project try to add one technique you want to try and pretty quick you'll be making some great stuff!
Perfect job as always ❤
Thank you!
That's some nice cabinet
Thanks!
Another great build Morgan 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Well done
Stunning! Thx for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I as well just found your channel brother. STUNNING!!!! I can only hope to be able to make pieces like that one day. Thank you sir!!!
Thanks and welcome!
Very nicely done.
Thank you!
Glorious.
Thank you!
Awesome piece!
Thank you! Cheers!
That piece is so beautiful I could not stop looking at it. You or at a level in wood wooding that I would love to be at Liked and subscribed.
I love doing projects like this because they are pretty simple and what makes it beautiful is the wood! Best way to look at it is just a big box, it's really not that complicated and if you take it slow you can build anything. My best advice is on every project you do, try something new whether it's a small detail or a massive change to your normal style, and really quickly you'll be making some sweet stuff!
Very nice work.
Thank you very much!
So gorgeous 😍 💖
Thank you!
Just to make a suggestion with fitting the door. To get it to a perfect size use a hand plane to size it. You will get a perfect finish that way. And if you have any unevenness you can adjust the plane to take that into account.
Yeah, using the table saw was the worst mistake I've made in a while but it lead to something pretty awesome! I do typically use my handplane for fitting up doors, I think I was just being lazy that day.
enjoyed this. Nice work!
Thanks!
Great work! Just discovered your channel! You deserve way more subs!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Liked the build, just found the channel and will have to do some more watching! I've been watching David Barron videos for my dovetail skills improvements, if your bored and looking for something to watch.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to checkout his channel!
that is a beautiful cabinet. Well done! New Subscriber.
Welcome and thank you!
Im starting to really like epoxy for glue ups. It has a huge open time, lubricates the joints, gap fills. The only add to titebond is that you can keep working in 1h.
That's really interesting, I've been using hide glue more often because of it's long open time and lubrication, never thought of using epoxy for just a normal glue up.
@@morganhurst_redridge You also dont technically need clamping pressure. Its great for those long stressful glueups.
ever thought about marking the pins before removing the tail waste? or using the offset method for marking? love your work!
I haven't heard of either of those techniques, but I'd love to hear more about them!
Espectacular
Belo trabalho e ótimo ensinamento, parabéns!!! Robertson (Brasil)
When cutting dovetail pins I do not measure them I just cut them by eye. They do not need to be super accurate.
How you then transfer to the slot/cutout is really where the magic happens. When you chisel out the fine finish of slot you can make it a perfect match for the dovetail pin.
I'm a little obsessives about the tails looking uniform, especially on a project like this, but defenitly on something like drawers I agree with you that having the perfect angle doesn't really matter as much as the woodworking community seems to think!
@@morganhurst_redridge
I prefer the individual looks of the pins that is a traditional method. The main problem with dovetails that look uniform is that they can be mistaken for machined work. I think that if all the effort is put into making them by hand why not make it obvious. I suppose it comes down to a personal choice.
@@bighands69 That's a really good point, looking at the dovetails cut with the jig they could very easily be mistaken for machined dovetails. You've definitely given me something to think about for the next case I do with dovetails.
Really nice build with some nice saves and tips along the way. I made my drawers with sapele on the inside and my father said the same: shame for the nice wood 😂
I caught a small "mistake": the wood grain on the drawer bottoms goes the wrong way, it should span the drawer by its width thus allowing for wood movement. Most probably you'll be fine as your drawers are small but on the larger ones when using solid wood that can cause serious problems.
I'm new to your channel and I like your work so I subscribed.
Suggestion for a nice book: Essential Woodworker by R.Wearing (Lost art press). Fantastic book that will definitely make you a better woodworker (it definitely made me better). Greetings from Croatia 😊
Not a mistake but a very intentional design decision, because like you said the drawers are small enough, wood movement is not really a concern. There's plenty of room in the grooves to supporting the bottom for any expansion that may happen. The most important part is that the two drawer bottoms are also bookmatched, so when you have both drawers open you get a pleasant surprise.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes though, it's always fun being able to explain some of the decisions that go into these projects!
@@morganhurst_redridge It is exactly why I placed "mistake" in the quotation marks 😊. Happy holidays to you and your family 🎄⛄🎄
While the walnut trim around the door was a great solution, what would you have done differently to fit the door as initially intended? Asking because I might be running into the same problem, haha.
I should have only used my hand plane and not the table saw. With dovetail casework like this, it's usually not going to be perfectly square on the inside. With the hand plane you can intentionally taper the sides of the door to fit the non-square cabinet, giving you a perfect fit.
I got lazy, then messed up, but also got kind of lucky with having the opportunity to get creative with the fix!
White oak with ribbon grain
I'll have to try finding some more of that beautiful white oak!
Beautiful cabinet. Have you ever tried fuming white oak with ammonia ?. It produces a rich brown color
I have, but I couldn't get nice results. On the pie cupboard I did a while back, I wanted to fume the center panels on all the internal shelves to create some contrast but I couldn't figure out a way to get potent enough ammonia to have an effect. Locally, the highest I can get is the cleaning stuff from walmart, so I'm still looking into it to see if I can get better stuff!
What a wonderful job! You nailed it. Your attention to detail is a joy to watch. Btw how deep is it? I may make one similar. Thanks for video
It's about 9 1/2" deep, which is fairly large for a wall cabinet but makes for a lot of storage space!
Nice
Thanks!
Calgary has a wood shop called the Black Forest Wood Co. Have you tried shopping there?
I started by buying wood there but most of their stuff is very overpriced, plus I would be very careful buying machinery from them because their customer service is interesting to put it nicely.
Wonderful project! It looks amazing, I do have one question tho. Why put the spacer piece in for the door? I don't understand why cutting the mortise into the side panel would prevent the door form opening all the way
The main thing is that if you screw up the mortises on the side panel then there's no good way to fix it without having to redo the whole case. With the spacer you have unlimited tries to get the mortises fitting just right.
The spacer also allows the door to be inset slightly (about 1/16 inch), which if you didn't use the spacer would cause the barrel of the hinge to bind against the sides.
Beauty Beauty Beauty
Thank you
Awesome Cabinet. Just curious how thick your french cleat is? Thanks
Thanks, on this cabinet I used a 3/8" cleat. Typically I'll make my cleats between 3/8" - 1/2" depending on how much weight I expect it to be holding.
Wow. Looks amazing. What finish did you wipe on? Everything about this cabinet is beautiful.
I used Tried & True Original oil, it by far my favourite finish and I use either it or the Varnish oil from the same brand on every project I do.
I stumbled across your channel that sucks you don’t have a lot of followers cuz you do some awesome work I’ve already shared this video so hopefully you get more people to subscribe to being more content
Thank you, I appreciate that! I'm in this for the long haul and I'm looking forward to watching the channel grow!
use power tools for coarse work use your hand planes for fitting and fussing.
Exactly, makes the job much more enjoyable.
Beautiful. How is the cabinet attached to the french cleat?
Thanks! The cabinet part of the cleat sits inside the rabbet that also holds the back slats, then there's three #8 screws holding it on.
Absolutely beautiful and brilliant job. Loved the finish product. Great job at the filming too. The only negative i found is that there was too much talking. Don't get me wrong, there should be a narration of the build process and the thought process behind the steps. But it felt like you didn't even stop to take a breath the whole video 😊. Please take it as constructive criticism. Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks for the advice, watching the video back I do agree with you that I need to take more pauses throughout the voice over. I think during the editing process I got caught up in making sure the voice over covered the whole video. I'm going to work on being more "to the point" in future videos.
The talking is fine as it gives us his inner working.
Absolutely beautiful piece of work! Out of curiosity, how many hours go into a piece like this when all is said and done?
Honestly, I have no idea how many hours it took, with a project like this I try not to think about the hours that go into it. That being said I started recording this project on September 6th and the last clip is from October 29th, some of those are full days of work others I didn't touch it at all which makes it hard to even guess at how many hours.
@@morganhurst_redridge fair enough! I really enjoyed your process and the explanations that went into each step. I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you for documenting your art!
I just found your channel through this video tonight. I watched the whole video and subscribed. We have a ton of the same tools and even the wall cabinets in your shop! I appreciate your careful and conscientious approach and wish more content creators knew what they were doing like you. I will likely start to incorporate some of your style into my own videos too! What are you going to put in the cabinet?
That's awesome, I'm really glad you like my work! I highly recommend the Great book of craftsman shop drawings, it's been a big influence on my building style.
I might use the cabinet to store my camera gear but I wanted to make sure the French cleat held strong so I haven't loaded it up yet!
@@morganhurst_redridge the French cleat will hold just fine…. Load that sucker up bud!
I see a dragon on the door. )
That's a good one, I see can see it to!
Mistakes create failures for newbies and design opportunities the for the more advanced.
Exactly, as I've grown with woodworking, I love making mistakes. I can't count the number of project I gave up on when I started just because of a small mistake!
Beautiful work! How did you consider wood movement when constructing the door?
The only part of the door that is going to experiences noticeable wood movement is the book matched panel, so to combat that, I made sure that the panel is floating in the frame of the door. The groove that holds the panel is 5/16" deep and the panel only sits a 1/4" inside of it so over the whole width of the panel it can expand 1/8" without touching the frame. The frame of the door won't experience enough wood movement to cause issues since all the pieces are about 1 3/4" wide and rift sawn.
Frame and panel construction, like this door, is by far the best way to deal with wood movement because you can freely let the large panel move as much as it needs to while keeping precise dimensions with the outside frame. You can also scale this theory easily, which you can see in the Blanket chest that I build where the lid is a frame and floating panel.
For the waste removal trick do you think I could use a 1/4 shank 1/4 od spiral bit as a flush trim without a bearing or do you believe a bearing is critical for flush trimming?
I had a look at the video you mentioned. He leaves a little protective wall of waste to protect the pin and just uses a spiral bit and listens for the spiral touching the wall of wast before he just removes it. I guess alternitavely I could protect the pins with a double layer of tape. Disregard my last question, the cut length of the bit makes it too deep for most dovetailing, a quick search of whether you can flush trim without a bearing warned of scorching or using Vaseline to prevent it but with the side effect of getting Vaseline in the pores of your work piece. Great channel by the way!
I'm glad you were able to find the video. The best thing to look for is a short flush trim bit on amazon - www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08PVD6NCP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This is the one I use now and it's pretty cheap and makes quick work of cleaning up the base line.
👍👍👍
If this were for sale, what would you determine it to be worth?
That's a hard one, I've actually tried listing this a few times on my website but keep taking it down because it has alot of sentimental value for me.
The price I figured was fair for it given the build quality and the specialty materials was around $1300 CDN, at that price I don't think I would ever actually be able to sell it at this point in my woodworking career.
@@morganhurst_redridge I can understand the sentimental value for sure. I honestly think $1,300 is too low, especially if it’s your “I don’t want to sell it” price. I’m new, so I’ll keep looking around your videos.
Can you link to Mike Pekovich's palm router dovetail technique?
Here's the link to the video: www.finewoodworking.com/2020/01/07/ep-5-fitting-the-dovetails
The video is apart of a series on fine woodworking magazine that Mike Pekovich did about building a small cabinet, you can watch some of the videos for free but most you have to pay for a subscription to the magazine.
Nice job overall but totally disagree about hand cut vs machine dovetails. Using a jig yields a joint that is tight but uninteresting.
It's a hard debate, I go back and forth constantly and now it just comes down to whatever method I think suits the project.
Hermoso
Gracias!
What type of wood do you use?
I mainly work with White Oak, Ash, Walnut and Cherry. I've been starting to work with some of the other domestic hardwoods but those four are my primary.
Great work , which need not much words. Please don‘t talk so much.
The whole purpose of my videos is to explain the project and that's not going to change on this channel.
Feel free to checkout my second channel, which has some of the same projects but with no music or commentary.

Tight bond 3 is too dark and dries gummy. In my opinion.
What kind of glue do you use? I'm always looking for more options!
Hand crafted?
Are you asking a question? If so, yes this is a handcrafted cabinet because I made it with my hands.
