It’s nice to see that even a wonderful woodworker such as yourself runs into little issues in glue up. Makes me feel way better about my projects! Also, love the bandyclamps, probably my favourite rockler product.
I had a visceral reaction to watching that glue up. I know that feeling, especially the bouts of frantic movements where you don’t quite know what to do in that moment. Thanks for sharing, that’s a feeling every woodworker knows.
I love the fact that you showed the 1st glue up and then shared the lessons learned. Those of us that use these videos as much as instructional as well as entertainment can use that for our own learning and process improvements. Thanks Micahel, great video.
I was looking for an interesting and well-made woodworking video. But then, it turned super-interesting when a dark grey systainer with a light grey lid was lifted onto the workbench table! I love!
Hey Michael! These came out great! Here's a thought for you. I pre-sand the interior of my projects before assembly. To keep them clean during glue ups, I use more blue tape along the edges. This is especially helpful on pen grain woods. I look forward to more of your videos!
Thank you for showing that first glue up. It’s inspiring. It lets me know that even amazing woodworkers like yourself can In fact struggle at times. Thank you for that!
It's so good to see the little issues you had with that first filmed glue up, that stuff always happens to me. It's just refreshing to see a video with bits like these included 👏👏👏

Hello friend, Unless you try the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.
Absolutly love this design. So nice. First glue up is so recognizable. It's a relief to see an artist/maker like you also struggles with those things... thanks for sharing!
Hello Michael. I really like how you’re using the Shaper Origin as a “smart” router. It saves a lot of set up time making templates. I use mine to cut circles, and I loved the tip last week using yours to cut shelf pin holes. You’re a hell of a builder!
Love your videos and your style! I'm really fascinated by coffee tables that transform into dining tables, but I feel like they never look stylish. I'd love to see you tackle something like that--I feel like you'd have a creative solution and it would look incredible.
That first-time glue-up was almost slapstick in nature! Your videos always make the process look so smooth and effortless with amazing attention to detail. Thank you for being open enough to show us that you are human too :)
i’ve never had an in person viewing of Judd’s plywood sculptures and not been amazed by the intensity of accuracy- - all of his works are amazing but his furniture goes well beyond where Rietveld left off
@@MichaelAlm the ZigZag chair is a work of defiance of physics. what else is furniture for? Clarice Lispector gave me my only explanation for being a furniture maker- and i paraphrase - whoever invented the chair had a lot of self love
I would like to see you build a plywood gaming table. Ideally with a recessed play area using the aesthetic of the ply's in the table design. These tables are used for games and also serve as a dining table with many have rails for added features, cupholders, player desks or other game specific attachments. I have been planning a pentagon shaped table for this purpose but really any shape would be great to see what you do with it. These tables can be expensive because they are usually built out solid wood and plywood would be a great model to bring style and affordability.
Thanks for this idea Kent! I could definitely see that working. So many games use hex tiles, and a lot of my patterns are based on that. I'll give it some more thought! Best of luck with your build!
Love seeing the mistakes. Realy humanizes the video and makes me appreciate how difficult it can be even for a person like you with your experience and talent. Thanks.
I really like these! Thinking how great they'd be around the patio door kids. Even they're in some cheap rgb LEDs so they could 'claim' a chair by assigning it a color
Nice project Michael. Goes to show there is a lot involved to make something look that simple! If it were me, I'd add a coat of paste wax and buff out to a low sheen. The white oak looks a little dry to me with that Rubio whitewash.
I have not laughed for the day...until now! That glue-up was so you-are-only-human funny! I thought you were kidding! You do fine work, this was no different.
just a quick tip from a pro, next time you glue up mitres like these boxes, do not apply glue on the inside edge of the mitred saw cut, but stay about 4 mm away from the edge. that way you only have to deal with glue squeeze out at the outside parts of the mitres which is easily sanded and you don't have to deal with chiseling away glue residues on the inside of the boxes. 19 mm thick plywood has 26 mm mitred cut so no worries if you only glue a 22 mm wide glue strip, it will be plenty strong. I just made 15 mitred boxes a spared a lot of labour not having to deal with glue squeeze out.
Those came out really nice. White oak was a great choice too. Might've been cool to add a bluetooth speaker to one of them, but I guess that's up to the customer. Great work. Oh and your first glue-up was like ALL my glue-ups! Ha ha.
These are just beautiful, and your work is inspring as always. Liked and subscribed now... I'd love to see you do some speaker cabinets, maybe a custom build to replace some crappy MDF cabinets or something. The challenge there would be keeping the audio response where it should be, or maybe improving it. As an example, my mom is a real music buff, but hates her ugly black speaker boxes. I'd love to make her some cabinets that fit the decor of her living room, after watching YOU do it!
Great build, Michael. I also prefer the rounded corners on the back panel. After seeing the first glue up, I feel much better about myself (lol). I thought you were going to do a full Shaun Boyd and lay across all 3 boxes. Take care and stay safe. Bill
Michael - we've all been there on glue-ups. It honestly helps to have a second set of hands sometimes. As per ideas for new videos ... would you ever consider making a minimalist Euro plywood platform bed with integrated storage and exposed endgrains? I would love to watch you do something like that ... especially with a patterned plywood headboard. That would be *Amazeballs*!
I would totally tackle a platform bed. I've built a couple, but before RUclips. Maybe the right client will come along, and I'll get to make another. Thanks!
A comment, a question and a request. First: these are gorgeous! Second: why didn’t you apply finish to the pull out piece on the back? Third: could you include more first glue attempts? I never would have understood why you glued them in that specific order for the second cube without seeing the problems with the first. I like it when people include their mistakes and how they fix them. It’s how I learn. I know many talk about their mistakes, but as a visual learner, it’s easier to understand when I see it. Hence RUclips :) Thanks!
1. Thank you! 2. I did apply finish to those back pieces. They look a bit different because they came out of another sheet of ply. I think they look higher contrast on camera. 3. Definitely, I agree, it's important for folks to see.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Cason Ryder i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great to see your only human like us during the glue up😂Collab with Ben paik from won't design? Making some live edge pattern ply with epoxy could be cool...
While this isn’t my style, I must say the craftsmanship is incredible. I’ve learned quite a bit from your videos. Would it be possible to add a timeframe for completion? I’m just curious how long these builds take, because it would take me months.
Thank you! This took me about two weeks with filming, but I could probably knock them out in a week if I had my head down. That said, I used to make pedestals for art museums and so this build is very familiar to me.
Great quality work as always. Not my taste, but beautiful in their own way. Perhaps a Jewellery box as a project? Your patterned ply would suit that well.
Thanks for the first glue up scene lol, thats me all over. However I have this weird thing where the first time i do something normally goes well and its the second one that goes mental
Love the video. Thanks for posting. Do you have an affiliate link for the metal pieces under the corners of the band clamp? Didn't see one in your list. Thank you!
Thanks Andrew! Those metal pieces came with that old ratchet strap clamp. The closest thing I can find is this amzn.to/3s42sXu . Not sure they make the ones I used anymore.

Thanks! We all go through glue up stress... It's part of the process.
I felt that glue-up scene :D perfect
😅
@@MichaelAlm Challenge: A power-carved plywood bathroom sink. I think the patterns would be beautiful. 👍
I had a visceral reaction to watching that glue up. I know that feeling, especially the bouts of frantic movements where you don’t quite know what to do in that moment. Thanks for sharing, that’s a feeling every woodworker knows.
Oh man I can tell I was in lizard brain mode during those clips. The panic is real.
I love the fact that you showed the 1st glue up and then shared the lessons learned. Those of us that use these videos as much as instructional as well as entertainment can use that for our own learning and process improvements. Thanks Micahel, great video.
First glue-up, oww man, I feel the pain 🤣. Glad to see it's not me but also that YT-ers feel it. Your face spoke the truth. Thank you 👍
The best glue up ever.
Great tip on taping around the gap to prevent wood filler from filling surrounding grain.
Thanks!
I was looking for an interesting and well-made woodworking video. But then, it turned super-interesting when a dark grey systainer with a light grey lid was lifted onto the workbench table! I love!

the glue up had me DYING! glad it happens to the greats too :)
Cool piece of furniture.
I have never even considered painter's tape to mark pieces. That's genious! Thanks for sharing!
Despite having watched several videos on the Shaper Origin, including yours, that machine is as close to real magic as I've ever seen.
you should totally show more of your first attempts and fails, it's really instructive
Absolutly love this design. So nice. First glue up is so recognizable. It's a relief to see an artist/maker like you also struggles with those things... thanks for sharing!
Sure thing! Thank you!
Great tip for edge banding.

Thanks Joe! Yeah, that's been a really affective way to use the tool in my shop. No more one-off stop dado templates for me!
They look amazing. The attention to detail is just amazing.
Love your videos and your style! I'm really fascinated by coffee tables that transform into dining tables, but I feel like they never look stylish. I'd love to see you tackle something like that--I feel like you'd have a creative solution and it would look incredible.

It's crazy that you mention this. It's in the works!! Thank you 😁
@@MichaelAlm No way!!! That's so exciting. I can't wait!
Glue-up stress is so real - thanks for the validation. Wonderful channel - keep at it!
Great video and beautiful pieces. The first glue-up was awesome to see.
Thanks 😅
Absolutely love the look of these. That white finish on the oak is beautiful!
Thanks Johnny! Yeah, it makes staining SO easy... It's nuts. No lap lines. None! Highly recommend it
Killer work on these stools, Michael! Love the videos as always!
Thank you!!
Thank you for showing the glue up. Keeping it real.
Really love the finished product scene, so much work gone into those shots and they look great!
Thank you 😅
I love when you leave the frustrating parts in the video…makes me feel better about how my glue ups go 😂

Hahaha! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work. Very cool to see someone using the shaper origin in the workflow in a natural way.
Thanks Phil! Yeah, I find i most helpful for the operations I'd normally have to build a jig or a template for, and I hate making one-off jigs.
I prefer seeing real life situations, then a polished video. It shows that even the highly skilled woodworker may run into unforeseen issues.
Found your channel today, I've been binging you for hours now
i’ve never had an in person viewing of Judd’s plywood sculptures and not been amazed by the intensity of accuracy- - all of his works are amazing but his furniture goes well beyond where Rietveld left off
I don't think I've seen them either. See tons of metal and acrylic pieces. I really want to make a Rietveld chair at some point!
@@MichaelAlm the ZigZag chair is a work of defiance of physics. what else is furniture for? Clarice Lispector gave me my only explanation for being a furniture maker- and i paraphrase - whoever invented the chair had a lot of self love
to clarify though - i have been to Dia:Beacon to witness Judd’s work. i meant i’ve never seen it and not been AMAZED
These would make great bluetooth (wireless of course) speaker boxes. Add some custom square cushions to the tops, and you're all set! Great project.
Honestly a bit refreshing to see that the glue up isn't always super easy :)

Beautiful and simple design. Congratulations.
Such an incredibly cool design! Streamlined design with so much going on when you actually think about it...super cool!
Thanks Ethan! Yeah, sometimes the simpler it looks, the more work it is to build 😅
I’ve had super expensive therapy that wasn’t nearly as effective as watching that glue-up. 🙏🏻
Hahahaha
Really beautiful work, Michael! They look amazing! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love seeing the mistakes. Realy humanizes the video and makes me appreciate how difficult it can be even for a person like you with your experience and talent. Thanks.
Really nice to hear, thank you!
Great film. Beautiful peices. Excellent work. Mahalo for sharing!🙂🐒
Thanks so much!!
I feel like those would be a really cool spot for some speakers as well
Small details can make a difference. Good call on the rounded corners for the back panel.

Dooooope! I have built a couple Judd tables.
Great project. Big fan of your design aesthetic. First time I’ve seen the Rubio white. Turned out great!
Thanks so much! Yeah that Rubio makes staining crazy easy!! I'm really impressed.
Very cool video. Love the glue up scene. Makes me feel better about myself. 🤣 I'm pretty fascinated by the shaper and how it works.
Thanks! I'm fascinated too! I still can't believe how accurate it is...
Great craftsmanship!
WOW, they look great!
I Will like to see some more pattern plywood ideas, because that's why I came on your channel
More to come! I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon 👍
Shout out to DUST for creating the original design for these cubes. Check out their incredible work at www.dustdb.com/
Dust is an awesome firm - great collaboration Michael.
Great extra seating when you have a crowd for a party. Maybe with some loose cushions?
Dude that freehand router cnc thing was so cool. I've never seen that tool before
Oh man, I love it! I've got a video on Origin if you want to know more ruclips.net/video/hMgFFlDhTbA/видео.html 👍
Simple is elegant
2 things:
1: Thank you for showing glue up #1. Story of my life.
2: Thank you for keeping that back panel rounded 😂
