My wife shouted ‘I’ll fineness your crotch later’ from the other room when she heard me watching this. I’d just like to thank you for all the effort you put into ensuring your viewers get the very most out of your videos, whether in the workshop or the bedr- .. or at home. Thank you.
All I have is WOW! I learned so much from this video. I was thrilled with the little details that elevated this project. Book matching, matching the grain on the base, dealing with the mistake, planing the doors for a perfect fit, adjusting the curves to be pleasing, thinning the look of the shelves without sacrificing strength, and so on. The base is where your skills really shine. I am the proud owner of a 130 armoire from English cherry wood and I see the same craftsmanship you exhibited in this build. AND, your camera work had improved tremendously. You have really elevated the craft.
Wow!! Unbelievably Gorgeous! I have to make my wife a bathroom vanity out of an old cherry tree we cut down a couple years ago in her grandmothers back yard. I am going to try to use this as a model for it but I am not that good. I have only made one large project prior which was a dresser for my daughter. Great Job!! You work is amazing!
Interesting comment about TiteBond 3 - the glue line dries dark and is less noticeable in walnut. Thanks Marc - I always learn more when watching your videos.
The most impressive part of this entire build was the fix that you had to implement to repair the measurement errors. Most of the time, what separates the men from the boys, is the ability to fix mistakes in an undetectable way. You did a fantastic job of recovering from that mistake. and Thanks for showing the errors and how you recovered from them. To me that's almost more educational than the build itself.
Lovey design - the curves understated and balanced with some subtlety, harmonious with the bullnoses, the proportions all pleasing. Such a combination of skill and art: always a delight to see your work.
Hello from Montreal, I know you built this a little over 2 years ago, I just finish looking at your video, all I can say : WOW!!! Incredible talented craftsmanship!! 👍👍
Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you for inspire me. I did enjoy the part talking about the mistake and how you resolve it. Sunny and warm regards from Haiti.
That was a tense build. So much going on. And for those people who don’t understand how to build, probably don’t appreciate the skill level that is needed. You said yourself that it was challenging for YOU. So I can’t imagine to many hobbyists would be able to build it. Well maybe BUT would not look as beautiful as this. Very impressed. And I for one appreciate that you admit and showed your mistakes . 👍 Will definitely be looking into purchasing your book as long as not to much $. As times are a bit tough these days. Thanks Marc for all that you do for the RUclips woodworking community.
You’re absolutely right about making mistakes. I’m really hard on my self when I get too in a hurry and make a mistake on my projects. That was a great recovery and it turn out beautiful!
crotch doors with sliding action and interconnecting holes. i would have never guessed that sentence would be related to a beautifully constructed media center. your intro made my day. thanks for posting.
Just a piece of advice Marc. @ 27:36 when doing raised panel and field, it's always advised to start on the end grain (going across the panel) because of possible tearout when finishing the cut. In other words, start across one top end, say, then just go round the board in clockwork fashion- only backwards. I hope I'm making myself clear. Thanks for sharing. Impressive workshop you have there. I enjoyed your shop tour. All the best from France.
That dangling little trap at 5:57 and the thumb just waiting waiting to be cut to length at 6:02 give me quite a wonky feeling. There are a few things we learned in carpentry first: don't stick any fingers out. Pretty much ever. Don't leave anything dangling around. Never go closer than one hand width to any tool-blades and stand securely on the floor. Although slower in the short run, and needing some getting used to, it is quite worth the trouble as it significantly decreases the chance of a serious injury. Also, really nice cabinet :)
Beautiful work Marc. Great video. I'm a fan of a U shaped shelf on the back to handle cables and cords. Great fix on the "issues." All work has "issues."
and just like that the assistant was fired. ha. Everyone makes mistakes, and you handled it better than I would have. Nice build man. Looks amazing, That book match especially. wow.
Very nice Mark, I love the arch on the top of the doors and the opposite arch you did at the bottom. That little detail really seems to dress up the looks of the cabinet design.
I have been doing woodworking for 40+ years, and till this day, I still make mistakes. Nice to see a woodworker admit to their mistake and learn. Keep up the great work.
I really like this piece. I need to build a media console and this gives me great ideas. While I might simplify the design, this is great inspiration. Love the commentary.
Great video! I made one several years ago, but with a drawer at the bottom of the right and left. This gave me room to put a false back and a shelf tucked in the back behind the left drawer for a battery backup power supply. All the cords go through the false back with a single "harness" coming out of the back that plugs to the wall power, HDMI and the banana plugs for all the speakers. As Marc said multiple times, for some equipment I had to install some fans to extract the heat so leave room somewhere for that.
What you do Sir, is pure art! I'm truly impressed with the craftsmanship of your projects, and, more importantly, with your detailed narrative. Great work, keep it up!
Awesome job! This turned out beautiful. The information you give for free has been very valuable to me in just starting out. Cant wait to get your book on joinery!
Absolutely love this project. I've been looking for a TV credenza to hide all the ugly control boxes. Thanks for leaving in the oops. Makes the me feel better when I see you make a mistake. We're all human. I make most of my mistakes when I start thinking too far ahead of myself.
Really outstanding video, especially for free-site content! I really appreciated the completeness, covering everything from grain selection to fixing the mistakes and finishing. The references to past videos with episode numbers are also really helpful.
I had been putting off watching this because it was a longer video. But I am SOOOOO glad I didn't wait any longer. I love this! Walnut is my favorite. But also I just love the joinery and everything about it. Sorry to laugh at your pain.... but the face you made before you put on your fixer hat... that was good stuff. My only problem with this video is that you make it look so easy. It really makes me want to make one. I love it. Definitely going to put your book on my wish list as well. Thanks for sharing. This is beautiful.
Good on you for including a mistake in your video. Me and my dad have a shop saying, "nobody is going to see that." Mistakes happen! And can happen to any woodworker no matter how experienced. Good job on this video.
I've learned so much from you over the years. You have always inspired me to keep at it. I really enjoy seeing you mistake fixes. This is an absolutely beautiful piece. Thanks Mark for all you do. 👍😎
That is the most beautiful piece you have every made IMAO. Walnut is by far my favorite wood. I would have mortgaged my house to buy that. You are an awesome craftsman.
Just ordered your book! I am excited to get into it when it arrives. Thank you for everything you do to help us along our woodworking journey. You are appreciated more than you know. Take care.
TWW: I thought this endeavor was outstanding and yet enjoyable, indeed. I especially enjoyed your sincerity regarding the errors and some forgetfulness, all part of the process! I am looking forward to more invaluable insights. Semper Fi
You have given me a great idea for the bookcases I build. I had never considered doing the "book match" for the sides of my cases. Can't wait to incorporate that into my next build. Also...while I'm sorry you had to do some major rework on the base, I appreciate that guys like you who are way advanced beyond my skills...still encounter "learning opportunities".
Really like how you did the sliding doors. Maybe a bead moulding in front if the bottom rabbit would secure it better and give a little more ornamental look. Also impressed with your repair job
Thank you for this awesome post!! And, especially, for the comment regarding woodworkers “fixing their mistakes” - I agree that the best policy is to avoid making them in the first place! I admire your going after the full fix on those side rails. I would have just cut the excess out of the center of each rail, possibly inserting some sort of contrasting/decorative element. But I’m lazy :)
Mistake? What mistake? I don’t see no stinkin’ mistake! I may not always be right but I’m never wrong! Marc, I don’t think you guys made any mistakes. I think this was a what not to do video. You guys were just showing what things could possibly go wrong... 😳😊😎 I’ve had that same stare! It’s like oh crap! Now what do I do?! But so far, knock on WOOD I’ve always found a solution. Your solution was an elegant one. How many possible solutions did you come up with before you decided how you were going to proceed? You guys did great a great job. It turned out beautifully. Have you ever done a video on your Incra Router table? I am in the market for a new router table as my neighbor decided to use my driveway and attempted to park her car in my garage and took out my router table which I had just been using 10 minutes earlier. She totaled my router table and damaged her car. At least she didn’t hit me! What do you think of yours? Thanks. Ron
Wow Marc, what a beautiful piece~! That was also a nice demonstration on fixing a mistake. I always love your videos and the ever clever narrative that you add. The Spag-pout was too funny~! My wife was watching over my shoulder and asked at that point if I was watching the "Wood Wimperer?" I had to Hi-5 her on that one. As always, thanks again for yet another installment in improving our "wood-ucation". (feel free to use that.) ;-) lol
I was on Amazon watching old season one shows and they are amazing! I've seen them all before, but I always seem to pick up a new trick each time I watch. The quality is actually pretty good considering, but Marks voice overs make them just awesome. Thanks for the years of filming!

I really like that you included your brother-in-law: just adds another interesting dimension. Very cool project, too. WELL DONE!
That tree is not dead my friend... You have brought it back to life. What superb craft man ship.! If only that timber was available in my country.
Awesome work Marc...and Thanks for not embedding those annoying ads that pop up every5 mins on most videos here.

Still...Excellent recovery. Very nice piece of furniture. Really Beautiful.
félicitations j'ai jamais vu un travail aussi parfait et bien expliquer (congratulations I have never seen such perfect and well explained work)
Oh my... This was so satisfying to watch. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you for inspire me. I did enjoy the part talking about the mistake and how you resolve it. Sunny and warm regards from Haiti.
Gorgeous job. Loved it. Sorry you had to cut the base again to make right fit. Thanks for sharing.
Looks fantastic! Very nice project. Thanks for keeping the mistakes in and showing how to correct. Lots of great tips too.
That was a tense build. So much going on. And for those people who don’t understand how to build, probably don’t appreciate the skill level that is needed.

So yeah, just ordered a copy off ej.com. been a fan for quite a while and have made a few of your projects. Thanks for being you homey.
YOU are the one that should have millions of subscribers
Awesome! Beautiful craftsmanship!
it's amazing what a few subtle curves can do to transform a relatively simple design into a beautiful piece of furniture.

U do amazing work. Ur brother-in-law is a lucky man getting to learn from u.
An absolutely beautiful piece of furniture that will last for a long, long time. Well done, Marc.

Nice job on the base recovery Marc. At least it was too wide and not too short. I just happen to need a media cabinet so I'll be getting those plans.
This is awesome. I have been looking for a media stand myself and this is perfect timing!
jfunkship same here. Love it, maybe a bit much for me to tackle, yet
I really like this piece. I need to build a media console and this gives me great ideas. While I might simplify the design, this is great inspiration. Love the commentary.
To err is human, to arhhhh is pirate. I thought you do with a little chuckle. Fantastic build
Awesome, I love all the details and curvatures. Nice recovery from your mistake too.
Great video! I made one several years ago, but with a drawer at the bottom of the right and left.

Hilarious blooper with Base Piece! Good job Fixing it. Good Design!!
Absolutely love this project. I've been looking for a TV credenza to hide all the ugly control boxes. Thanks for leaving in the oops. Makes the me feel better when I see you make a mistake. We're all human. I make most of my mistakes when I start thinking too far ahead of myself.
looks fantastic and great recovery
Great build. It's been a while since your last complete project not counting the table top. Good to see one again.
Thanks for the reminder! lol

Nice piece!!!!!! Great fix on the end rails of the base!
The credenza looks great, love the long format and the fixes of the mistakes
Gorgeous! And I did see a dragon in that one panel. Hate you messed up, but thanks for showing how you fixed it.
what a beautiful piece of furniture
Good on you for including a mistake in your video. Me and my dad have a shop saying, "nobody is going to see that." Mistakes happen! And can happen to any woodworker no matter how experienced. Good job on this video.
Woo hoo, a project video! Can't wait to get my copy of your new book and get working in the shop :)
Very nice...great details! Nice fumble recovery...
I've learned so much from you over the years. You have always inspired me to keep at it. I really enjoy seeing you mistake fixes. This is an absolutely beautiful piece. Thanks Mark for all you do. 👍😎
That is the most beautiful piece you have every made IMAO. Walnut is by far my favorite wood. I would have mortgaged my house to buy that.

Bravo to you for showing the mistake(s). Good troubleshooting for the fix. Beautiful work as always
Just ordered your book! I am excited to get into it when it arrives. Thank you for everything you do to help us along our woodworking journey. You are appreciated more than you know. Take care.
Great work Marc
I subscribed 8 years ago, and today I still enjoy your content!
Marc, @ 12:56....Mr. Snodgrass would not be happy! The side rollers are spinning like crazy!
You make beautiful fine furniture. I’m not there yet but hopefully will learn from you. Thank you
Wow. Really nice. Thanks for sharing mistakes and how to correct them
TWW: I thought this endeavor was outstanding and yet enjoyable, indeed. I especially enjoyed your sincerity regarding the errors and some forgetfulness, all part of the process! I am looking forward to more invaluable insights. Semper Fi
This is going in my bucket list of builds. I need to hone some skills but I will soon take this on.
Great craftsman ship
We all hate those miss fortunes , but it forces us to work harder to avoid them in the future
love this build
Craftsmanship is impeccable!!!
Beautiful piece of furniture!
You have given me a great idea for the bookcases I build. I had never considered doing the "book match" for the sides of my cases. Can't wait to incorporate that into my next build. Also...while I'm sorry you had to do some major rework on the base, I appreciate that guys like you who are way advanced beyond my skills...still encounter "learning opportunities".
It's amazing what you can build when you have the most high-tech, most expensive tools available. Beautiful piece of furniture.
A real masterpiece.Congratulations !!!
A really pretty product. Love the doors.
Looks awesome Marc. Really beautiful. The holes for interconnecting cords was a great idea. Something so simple I have never thought of.
I'm still working on getting boards flat and angles proper, but THIS is cool as hell! 😆 Very motivating
Beautiful job Marc - and thanks for sharing the "mistakes", very instructional!
Great technique for jointing boards wider than your jointer!!
Beautiful, I’m a subscriber of your channel from Saudi Arabia, and i love to tell you that I’ve learned a lot from you
Absolutely beautiful, Marc! Thanks for plugging away at the footage to get it released
Absolutely gorgeous piece!
This is great work. I love the end result! Beautiful!
Trick with wide board than jointer is simply (and) awesome. :D
Really like how you did the sliding doors. Maybe a bead moulding in front if the bottom rabbit would secure it better and give a little more ornamental look. Also impressed with your repair job
Wow! Makes me wish I had those mad skills and awesome tools. Beautiful piece sir.
I could make that too if I had that brother-in-law 😜
Great looking piece of furniture
I have a brother-in-law. No help there :)
The band aid was a nice touch
I absolutely love it! Great video.
Another really beautiful work of art there. Great job!
Thank you for this awesome post!! And, especially, for the comment regarding woodworkers “fixing their mistakes” - I agree that the best policy is to avoid making them in the first place!

Nice save Marc another great use for the Domino.

Absolutely beautiful. Stunning.
Man what an amazing piece! Thanks for sharing this!
That's some quality work right there
