Would a butterfly or bow tie joint work in this case or would that have the same issue when it comes to wood movement?
I appreciate that when you explain something, you briefly refresh us even on the simple terms we all "should know." When I first started watching woodworking videos on RUclips I asked one of the other popular channels on here what a butt joint was, because it was mentioned in the video but not explained, and they told me to go look in the mirror.
They must have forgotten that not every mirror has been framed the same way their mirror is.
@@hj8607 Pretty sure he was just joking. lol
@@RAndrewNeal like one hand clapping ?
@@RAndrewNeal Maybe, but it's not a useful response.
@@showalk I was replying to a since-deleted comment reply. I don't remember what it said now.
First time I've understood the term "loose tenon joinery." Good stuff.
Yeah, I liked the explanation for it's use
Here's a tutorial on it: ruclips.net/video/Bx1Mg2mTMO0/видео.html
I swear that I learn more in these 7-10 minute video than I would in a whole semester of a woodworking class. Now I understand why you don’t glue these joints and what loose tenon actually means.
I'm just getting into woodworking and I really appreciate how your channel spells everything out, doesn't assume you know everything, doesn't treat you like an idiot, and gets straight to the point. Wood expansion and accounting for it in joinery is one of those topics that is talked about often but rarely explained as well as this.
Excellent video and well explained. Just what I need for a desk project. Thank you from the UK
I recently came across an 8-minute tutorial on "A common mistake of connecting corner desks and counter tops", and it was a breath of fresh air. The creator Stumpy Nubs has done an excellent job of packing a lot of useful information into a short timeframe without sacrificing clarity or quality. The flow of the video is seamless, with well-timed visuals and explanations that enhance the learning experience.
He gets straight to the point, delivering the content with an energy and passion that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The video makes excellent use of visual aids and editing techniques to ensure that viewers can follow along without any confusion. The explanations are clear, concise, and accompanied by just the right amount of detail to be informative without being overwhelming.
This is a prime example of how to create educational content that is both informative and enjoyable to watch. If you're looking for a tutorial that respects your time and provides a great learning experience, this is the one to watch.
Wow I'm really glad you made this video. I was going to join mine with dowels and pocket screws. I have never done a project like this, so now I'm going to have to learn how to use biscuits. Thanks.
I don't work with wood, but honestly... You make me want to.
Good stuff.
Awesome video. You’ve explained things even a newbie can understand.
At 58 and thought I was burnt out on woodworking I am reinvigorated to continue woodworking for the rest of my days. I grew up with Norm and always learned by books and magazines. These videos are priceless to me. I can’t thank you enough.
That was one of the greatest RUclips videos I've ever seen. Great language, comprehensive, very nice subject and tackling it for beginners even though one would realize about these problems later in their careers. No fluff or anything, just great woodworking. Thank you very much!
What an awesome explanation of how to establish miter and butt joints!! Completely understandable!!
These videos are informative without being cryptic or condescending. Excellent presentation, sir.
Those dog bone connectors look really interesting!
Your site has improved so much since you stopped trying to be funny. It has become one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips.
You are batting 1,000. I have learned something important with every episode. ‘Excellent’ does not do your channel justice. Thank you for teaching me things I should have learned many years ago.
Now I see why my large miter jointed outdoor table failed so quickly in a really humid environment. I'm still learning a lot, but this was a major eye opener to the mechanical power of swelling wood.
Cheers Stumpy!
No one covers the topics as you do sir.
You’re the right person at the right place. 🙏
This is some high density information. You are extremely efficient with your words. The clear and concise manner you speak without wasting any time is very refreshing. In a 9 minute video I learned a lot and I appreciate it.
Great explanation about which way the grains expand. I never knew that.
I didn't understand the level of learning I was getting into starting this video. It really opened my eyes to joining pieces. Fantastic work. Thank you.
I use hand tools, so other woodworking videos talk about machines so don't make any sense to me or how I work. You have one of the few channels which has great info for all kinds of woodworkers. Thank you!
If you like hand tools you should check out Roy Underhill.
Another brilliantly done Stumpy Nubs video. What a lasting woodworking legacy they are!
Your explanations are always so concise, clear and complete! Thanks.
Your videos are so thoroughly detailed in explaining what works and what doesn’t. Thank you so very much.
My favorite thing about your videos is how much background information you put in. I have rewatched a few videos because there is just so much to absorb, but I love it! As an information nerd and a budding crafter, I just love your style of mentoring. Very calm and well mannered approach. Thank You! and Happy Holidays!
I love the clear concise language. I love the editing and the visual demonstrations you tie into the narration. Grade A teaching material. I seldom do woodworking but you're so good at teaching I just enjoy being here. I get an appreciation for the work that real craftsmen do and the reminder that the few projects I did do, I did wrong.
Absolutely fantastic video. No wasted words, video is just as long as it needs to be and I truly appreciate that.
I've gotten a growing interest in woodworking and your channel gives me so much information that I never knew about and haven't been told of and I'm feeling confident when I'm going to finally start working on my own projects that I won't be struggling. Thanks for making these :D
I appreciate all of your tutorials and have been watching your videos for a few months. I’m just getting in to woodworking and because of you yesterday I just received my Harvey C14 and Harvey 110LC-36P.
Thank you I’m very excited about the new chapter in my life.
You are concise, clear, confident, and complete in your explanations. Thank you for your sharing of expertise.
Yes! Always excited to see a new video from my favorite woodworking channel!
Love the detail and explanations behind the choices. These kinds of videos help people apply principles not just copying steps. Bravo!
Love the shout out to Carter & Sons! I use mine with Stuart Batty carbon fiber handles... they're super quick to change out and have a nice feel to them.
I’ve been struggling to understand how to make a corner countertop for a while now. This video explains the solution and makes it sound easy. Thanks a ton!
You always goes beyond than anyone else! Guess who cleared my extra doubts after I saw your series about the kitchen counter top? Thanks a lot !!!!
The quality of the information in this video is quite astonishing. Thank you.
Great Topic! Thank you for taking the time to explain the difference in techniques and why you choose one over the other. A very informative 8 minutes! Love you videos keep them coming!
Love this! Most practical and economical video I have seen thus far for building an L-shaped desk. This is a fantastic looking desk! Thank you!
I don't do woodwork. But your videos are so relaxing to watch that I always click your videos if they appear on my RUclips home.
Quality work, on the joint AND the script. Really impressed with this channel.
This channel is such a wealth of information. You explain so clearly how and why problems can arise, then give all the options to overcome them and get a great finish. Thanks for these many nuggets of woodworking gold.
I’m still squarely in the newbie category however this video gave me so much *usable* information on wood movement, decision on joints and reasons for fastening that I didn’t even know I didn’t know.
Thanks very much for that 👍
Getting ready for a few wood projects and this helps me understand why things are built a certain way and not a different way. That different way would be my way, leading to inevitable failure in the future.
Thanks for saving me the headaches of the future as I now know what each project needs and why.
I'm so new I have yet to tackle a true woodworking project. While I'm building up to that stage, I find your videos so informative and valuable. I really enjoy your teaching style and your format. Please keep it up and once I get "settled in" a little bit better I will be sure to sign up for your newsletter and all of the other content you produce. Take care and have a good one :D 🖐
I love how you try to teach us to ask the right questions.... And then show us how to create the right answer....
Thanks James. While I do not have any similar projects in the works, this is a great piece on dealing with wood movement. Thanks for making me a little smarter today
Great video and explanation, I have been looking for that information for a few weeks now and struggled to get a decent explanation. You published this video just in time for me starting my kitchen renovation. Thank you.
Thanks James...awesome as always. Only 12 years too late...I built my bookshelves and wish I'd known this back then! Your ability to impart knowledge is superb and simple! The best way to teach! As always - a must watch!
Thank you for your concise clarity. A real boost to my meagre knowledge in wood slab desk and countertop making. Thank you
Your videos are solid gold. I am always so excited to watch the videos once I get notified one has been released. Keep up the great work.
I'm glad you made this video. I just bought my first house and am in the planning stages of making new countertops
This brings back memories of myself as a kid watching new Yankee workshop. Good times thank you.
You guys have no idea how much this video means to me. I'm about to start a project making an L shaped desk out of pine and I had no idea what would be the correct way in joining the 2 pieces. Thank you so much for this! Definitely earned a sub from me
I have to truly admit I learn so much watching your videos....great and yet simple to understand for us layman/noobs 😉 .
Another great video. Thank you so much for the care you take in producing these. I learn something new every time.
Very high quality technical material here. Awesome!
I've just learned a lot of important things I didn't know. I didn't know about not using glue at those joints and because of this I was about to do this mistake in a personal project I'm doing in the near future. Thank you.
It's not often that I loosely google what I think I'm looking for and then find EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Quoting a mitered butcher block counter top and this vid answered all I needed to know. Thanks!
Excellent information! I have always wondered why those dog bone bolt connectors were used in mitered corners in countertops especially. Now I know!
That was very informative. I like the joinery methods that you showed. I have never seen that before. Thanks for all the great videos.
Man, the timing and mind-reading skill is awesome! Have just sanded my 2x2m desk top, and was wondering how I should join the two pieces together, since they are to heavy to mount forehand. You just made my day!
James as always very informative and professional! Thank you for your time! Appreciate you.
Excellent tip. I think I’ve always tried to glue those joints. Both of them with biscuits for keeping both on the same plane. Excellent information.
This instructional video was spot on! Very well presented making the material easy to understand.
Outstanding video! I am working on a project where I have to deal with conflicting end grain and your video helped me better understand methods to deal with this issue!! Thank you for posting this helpful video!!
Your videos are all very clear and well thought out. I’m not a wood worker and still enjoy them.
That is the clearest explanation of a quite complex decision point for woodworkers that I have ever seen. This is days of tutoring in an apprenticeship.
Thank you so much for these informative and enjoyable videos. I’ve learned so much from many of these clips. This channel is a treasure.
I enjoy your videos despite being a woodworking layman.
The way you explain the items is both easily understood and provide a way to navigate around common starting errors.
I don't even do woodworking, but this was still entertaining and informative. It's cool to know the thought process behind choosing joints.
Great video. I always learn grate tips and techniques from Stumpy Nubs. Thanks!
I'm finding these videos extremely interesting and informative. I may never use these skill but knowing they exist means I can better talk to tradespeople about my needs.
Thank you for your videos. You always present in such a clear way.
As I've said before, I'm not a woodworker ... yet, as you were talking about the different joints, I thought to myself I wonder if a biscuit joining would be appropriate....and then you answered my question! As usual I've learnt something, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!
this was SO HELPFUL. I get so frustrated trying to find the information I need but don't know I don't know? and then some places just say "well this is what you should do!!!" but don't actually EXPLAIN it and then I can't help but think, okay well what if I DONT?
Have watched your videos for awhile now and always appreciated them. This one sealed the deal. New subscriber today. Thanks for sharing all your insight and knowledge!
This video was very useful, so glad I found it before doing the project. Love your stuff Stumpy
Very useful, and I watched this at a good time for me. (Completely by accident, as I was not specifically looking for the information.) In a couple of weeks I am going to be doing a cabinet and countertop project. Now I know better ways to connect the pieces! Thanks.
I appreciate that you teach that there is an appropriate solution to each unique challenge and that a properly thought out approach will result in a project with a long, useful life.
Marvellous video as always I am just about to make an L shaped desk for my partner and this answered all my questions about it. Thanks
Excellent video. I've been woodworking for many years but I learned A LOT from this video. Very clearly presented and very intelligent. This is what makes you one of the very best on RUclips and a world better than when you tried the comedy approach. You're great.
Really useful rationale for choosing the best option, and handy info on appropriate fasteners that I wasn't aware of, thanks!
Wow, very interesting and useful. I'd seen those dog bone connectors on commercial furniture before, now I understand them better!
Excellent lesson, James. Thanks for sharing. I've used those same "dog bone" connectors for years and they've really improved them greatly over the years. Do you remember when you had to use a proprietary driver for them? I'm glad they continued to refine them over the years. Scott
This is great, really enjoyed this video.
Hey! I like your stuff.
Upon your recommendation I purchased the dowellmax.
Very happy with the purchase by the way. Thank you.
(I also purchased the BCT Joint maker Pro. Happy there as well, although that was an expensive episode😎)
I’ve used the dowellmax to make many mitre joints (deep and narrow also broad and flat) and have been very satisfied.
I’m about to start building 2 L shaped counter tops for a customer. So glad this video was just published.
This is so clearly explained and concise. Love it. Thankyou!
Iv been thinking about exactly this for about a week and thank god I watched this video had no idea about half of this stuff!
Nice content and appreciate the correct term for the"dog-bone" connection. Keto the great content coming. 👍
Well presented explanation on both applications of joinery on large slabs. Very well done.
Clear & Concise instructions! Really useful video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Dropping some very insightful carpentry knowledge. I very much appreciate it! Cheers!
This guy knows what he's talking about! It's great when an expert can communicate clearly with learners.
This is an excellent treatment on panel joining. Thank you for sharing it.
I used a miter on a large basement bar, almost identical to your methods, including cutting with track saw and dog bones. I did decide to glue the joint, and haven’t had any problems with it opening, but I took a different approach and allowed one end of the bartop to float on the bar, allowing for movement. No regrets, five years later. It was the reason I bought the track saw…not sure how I’d got along without it!
Thank you for the education. It was informative and succinct. You have the teaching gene.
I love this, I'm an a novice wood worker, I know the fundamentals. But this information is very interesting. Thermal expansion is one of the worlds most difficult engineering problem
