I found your channel back in March earlier this year and have been hooked ever since. I'd like to thank you for what you do and for taking the time to share it with us. I have picked up so many tips and have been shown a new level of meticulous precision that I'd personally aim to achieve being 25. These videos are incredibly relaxing, humorous, and visually appealing to watch, Big thanks for everything Mike😎
Mike, I mean this in the most complimentary way possible - you embody ‘dadness’. Your corn ball jokes always make me smile and roll my eyes at the same time.
I've been doing fine woodworking for over 40 years and I always learn something watching your videos. Thanks for making them and for your format of doing narration over the video; so much better than attempting to get it in while working.
Hello from Michigan I built two toy boxes a year ago, one of cherry, another of red oak. Hand cut 48 dovetails on each one. Great work Mike, you sir, are a true craftsman
I built two tables out of that & waited a month to get it! The customer was an Electrical Engineer and trust me he looked over those tables closely! But he was satisfied & paid the bucks! Smells good! Money that’s is !👊
While it's a wonderful thing to have all the tools and equipment that makes up a shop like yours, it's no substitute for skill, talent, imagination, and experience. You have it all. One thing I noticed in this video is everything is clean. Work space, benches, tools, hands... when you're working with high-end wood, it's not a good thing to have the work marred by hand prints, tool scuffs, work bench dents & scratches, etc. I really like the way you work!
I miss the reward for watching all the way through. 🙂 My dad had a chest of plywood when he was young and it was destroyed by black mold in the days of floppy disks, VCR tapes, and cassettes. 😉 I kept the hardware and vowed to create a worthy replacement. I may have found that piece. I’ve studied and enjoyed your work for a long time, Mike, and it would be great to have your influence share this father-son project.
I just used my Double Taper Sanding Disc yesterday. It is amazing! My project was just some 3/4 x 1 back banding to add to a bunch of door casing. It got rid of the saw marks and left the edges buttery smooth. It also revealed how much deflection I'm getting from my table saw blade. I highly recommend it.
Awesome wood to work with, cherry. It has been ages since I was commissioned to do a project with cherry. So the lumber remaining in my depot will stay there..... until I reach the age of Christian Becksvoort, way passed my retirement and then I can finally start milling with cherry again
Funny how things work. I always push cherry to my clients. Its not popular right now so its relatively cheap, unlike walnut. Often the difference in price can swing someone.
Mike- long time watcher, first time commenter. I think that ‘thing’ you can’t explain about the chamfer on the underside of a top, is the shadow line it often creates.
I appreciate your attention to the small details. Taking your time to make sure the cedar insert was square is an example of that. PS the new toy looks like a serious upgrade over a router table for the things it can do.
I am not sure exactly what it is, but something about your videos always gets me pumped up to get out into the show and make something. Very nice piece, and I totally agree with you about a chamfer on the undersides of tops like that.
That shaper is a beast! Wow. (Although it’s also slightly terrifying, given the power that thing must have 😉). Then you whipped out that bronze Lie Nielsen #4 and my tool envy went into overdrive… I had to rewatch that section a few times because I thought I might be seeing the ultimate unicorn: a L.N. Bronze 4 1/2! I have seen and held in my hands exactly ONE of those in my life, and damn what I’d be willing to pay for one if L.N. ever made it again…. Drool worthy. Great video as usual, and neat project!
Thank you very much. The shaper is nice. The bronze #4 is a very nice tool for sure. I have a cast 4 1/2, I don't like it, its too wide and takes too much effort. The unicorn in the bronze #4.
@@MikeFarrington Ah yes fair point! I have an old Bailey 4 1/2 that I restored with a hock iron and love using, but given the width I do need to keep it to a pretty fine shaving... otherwise it's quite a workout! :-) Dang it, this conversation has me visiting the L.N. web site now... My wallet is getting nervous. 🙂
Sweet and easy build 👍 I’m sure I say “easy” in part because you always do a fine job of foreseeing needs/improvements you can make to fit/finish/functionality (using the grate while intentionally opening up more cedar surface area, chamfering to avoid picks in fabric, going the extra mile to cut haunches, etc…). The number one thing I appreciate and have over these past years from you is not organization per se, but that you organize and approach projects and problems, in an organized manner mentally first; that makes the execution far easier. You’d have made a fine Operations Officer at the battalion level. Hope you and the family are doing well!
@@realityanalyst Ah. That makes sense. Thing is, it's probably why he continually gets better at his craft which is what we actually want despite what the algorithm says. I'm glad you commented because it gives me the opportunity to say that I wasn't belittling 200k subs, that's great! I just see less talented and less entertaining wood workers with 800k, but as you said, they post a lot of (watered down) videos. They are also talented.
@@anarablehill5691 Thank you. Mother algorithm has her demands, that is for sure. I think my channel will always be boutique because of the projects I tackle, the tools I use, construction methods, etc. Sometimes I wonder if I posted more would I get more views, maybe, but I'm trying to keep a good balance between work, and kids/family.
Your voiceover is Roman Mars on 99% invisible-level pleasant to the ear. Orders of magnitude above any other woodworking (and non-woodworking) channel on RUclips.
I see a lot of handplaning woodworkers clear the plane every pass so you're not weird about it! Awesome build, it looks stunning and the joinery was very interesting to see! :)
Awesome, Mike. I'm glad you did this project for yourself and family. Your content always teaches me something new, and I appreciate that you're willing to pass on you skills, tips, and woodworking hacks. Thanks.
Fun fact: I've seen tops with three wide boards and a sliver in back. The way they made this work is... Three boards form the top and the skinny board is fixed to the top of the chest. The hinges are then placed between the top and the skinny board. Depending on the hinges you use, this three + one board helps keep too much stress on the back and causing the upper edge of the back to split and tear at the hinge screws. 💖🌞🌵😷
Mike without fail always learn something new from watching your videos this one checking your off cut on the panel and add some CA glue to help strengthen it 👏🏻👏🏻 brilliant
I always loved working with cherry ... beautiful with watco danish oil finish (we used to buy in fifty gallon drums). I had a chisel point mortising machine (3/8 inch), and a single end tenoning machine to do the joinery. Blanket chests were always a pleasant project !
Hola! 🖐Really nice blanket chest! This is one of Grammy's (my wife) request. Once I have my shop up and running, this is definitely on the "To Build" List. I will be referencing back to your video for sure, thank you for sharing. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Years ago I worked for a wonderful cabinet maker and I remember asking him “ how do you know how much glue to put on?” Always hear his voice answer when I’m in a glue up,” just the right amount “ Words of wisdom from our mentors.Also, cherry was Jamie’s favourite wood as it gets ‘richer ‘ with time. I also love Osmo and ska.
Awesome project! And a nice new toy for your shop - the shaper! Take care working with it! It's not just a bigger uter table. I would highly recommend adding a safety feature like a Suva Frässchutz or a similar contraption from Aigner. Those might be hard to get in the states but since you are able to get european machines like the Felder you shold be able to find a supplier. I tryed to ad links but apparently it didn't go throu.
Thank you. I have a few more things one order, but they have not shipped out yet. Meaning, the look and safety of the shaper will change in the next few videos.
Great video. I too prefer to hand bevel the undersides of table tops and lids. Don't know why. More tactile perhaps? Winter is right around the corner. Time to get back in the shop and binge watch some Farrington!
Great build Mike! My shop is in storage while we finish renovating our house and I can’t wait to get it unpacked and start building again. Your videos are an inspiration. I love the shirt collection - especially the subtle reference to Back to the Future in this one.
Your videos are so entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to share these projects with us. Timothy Wilmots does not make videos anymore, but has an impressive collection of tools including a similar shaper. (Awesome machines) I sense a shaper cutter cabinet in Mike's future.
I design my own projects and have never used a "plan" for anything. However, I am buying your plan for this project simply to support you. I also bought your Kumiko box at Modern Bungalow in Denver. Keep up the great work!
My wife caught me lately saying a bit loudly: "f*ck yes", everything time you post a new video hahaha. I'm in the process of renovating our new house after immigrating to Sweden and I didn't have had time to set up my shop so watching you is a bit of a substitute to remedy the lack of doing shop projects. Thanks for the great content!
It’s his taper sanding disc and you can buy one using the link in the video detail. You can’t just use a normal blade or disc with a sanding disc stuck to it.
Love your t-shirt and cargo pants. Pretty much the same look I rock when I'm in my shop. Now I just need to put in a lot of effort to catch up to you in terms of skill. But at least I've got the wardrobe down, and that's a start! :)
The chest is absolutely beautiful. I love the design, and your build and attention to detail are top-notch. The aromatic cedar interior will smell great and looks great. One thing: recently I restored and refinished a small project for a family friend that was made from that aromatic cedar. I had to sand it down to remove old finish, so I got a lot of dust from the cedar on my arms, and it caused a pretty bad allergic reaction and rash on my arms wherever I got the dust on me. I haven't had a reaction like that from any other kind of wood. I had to go to the doctor to get some steroid cream to cure the rash (and the discoloration from the rash still hasn't totally gone away after a couple of months). Apparently, there are oils in that type of cedar that can be pretty toxic, so people might want to make sure they don't get dust from that kind of cedar on their skin. Not everyone will have the kind of reaction I had, but I just wanted to let people know that it can cause bad reactions.
@@MikeFarrington Living in the PNW, I've worked quite a bit with western red cedar, and it never caused any kind of reaction for me, other than sneezing, but the aromatic cedar sure did. Nevertheless, I am paying a lot more attention to not breathing any kind of sawdust (being much more diligent about wearing a decent respirator, especially when sanding) and also not getting the dust on my skin (wearing long sleeves, etc.).
Wauu... Tus maquinas, tus herramientas... Increíble, como realizas tu trabajo, siempre un placer, siempre soñare con tener alguna herramienta como las que tienes.. En mi país es casi imposible, sin embargo, me motivo y me voy a mi pequeño taller a cortar madera.. Un gran abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Yes!! Another video! Dude I hope you put out more stuff. I just recently discovered your videos and have been checking daily for new content. Keep it up man!
Had started to believe super rad was a figment of my imagination since no-one I've met has ever heard it. To hear it from the mouth of a court verified legend was sweet succour. Also lovely big box good job.
Thank you. I think if someone is going to take the time to watch my videos and comment. The least I can do is reply. I don't get to all of them, but I give it a good try.
I was looking forward to seeing that Shaper wiz up , I was just gonna try and find a large & powerful shaper , now I gotta have a slider ! Because I'm just a big copy cat 😜

The cedar bottom ended up gorgeous! Nice build - I'm excited to see what you do with the shaper once you amass some more cutters :D
Thank you. I have bought a few cutters, just enough to get going. Next up is a power feeder.
That Felder f700 is drool worthy. We did play the Lotto tonight for $1.2B so after I win, I'll be placing my order.

Nevertheless, I am paying a lot more attention to not breathing any kind of sawdust (being much more diligent about wearing a decent respirator, especially when sanding) and also not getting the dust on my skin (wearing long sleeves, etc.).
Ha I'm wearing those shoes right now. Super comfy.
Good stuff.
Next new tool? A saw mill. 20" wide cherry boards are easy to come by if you have one of those.
The problem with the saw mill is there are no logs were I live. Otherwise I would have already bought one.
Cluster fornication and khyber crystals sold me on subscribing ;)
Haha! Thank you.
Thanks Mike, great video as always!
My pleasure!
Wauu... Tus maquinas, tus herramientas... Increíble, como realizas tu trabajo, siempre un placer, siempre soñare con tener alguna herramienta como las que tienes.. En mi país es casi imposible, sin embargo, me motivo y me voy a mi pequeño taller a cortar madera.. Un gran abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Thank you very much for the kind words.
I love your Maruchan t-shirt 👕👕👕.
Its a great shirt, and a great snack.
Yes!! Another video! Dude I hope you put out more stuff. I just recently discovered your videos and have been checking daily for new content. Keep it up man!
More to come!
Had started to believe super rad was a figment of my imagination since no-one I've met has ever heard it. To hear it from the mouth of a court verified legend was sweet succour. Also lovely big box good job.
Thank you. Super Rad is a great song. Totally fun.
The new shaper! Also looking forward to Quick and Dirty opening for Ace Tone
Ha! That would be a great concert.
Well done, I love it. Thanks Mike. (Csaba from Hungary )
Many thanks!
Awesome build, as always! Your work and your videos are just amazing - I really enjoy watching them.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Mike. In lieu of Patreon, got the plans. And you helped me decide on which wood I was going to use for my entertainment center build. TY!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support.
Your old stomping grounds make the Saroyan Hardwoods shirt make more sense haha
Yup, this beach is about 8 miles down the way from Saroyan in Vista.
Mike is the best at replying to comments, so I’m just writing to see what he says back!
Thank you. I think if someone is going to take the time to watch my videos and comment. The least I can do is reply. I don't get to all of them, but I give it a good try.
Looking good Mike! I hope Felder picked you up as a sponsor, that would be rad.
No, I wish. I'd be willing to change the name of my shop the Felder Boardroom if they would be willing. I like their tools.
I was looking forward to seeing that Shaper wiz up , I was just gonna try and find a large & powerful shaper , now I gotta have a slider !
Because I'm just a big copy cat 😜
I think a slider is a must for a shaper. Really helps with long work pieces.
Great video Mike and a great blanket chest!!!
Thank you.
I always learn something from your videos. I have used Rubio on a couple of cherry pieces but had blotchy results. I think I'll try Osmo. Thanks.
Osmo and cherry are a nice combo.
