What a frame indeed and the ‘dead lucky guess’ is down to seventeen years of dedication, know how and sharp tools. Speaking of which, tell me which tenon saw you’d like and I’ll buy you one 🌞
Dead lucky experience, the more I practice the luckier I get Edit: re tendon saw recon Ollie could drive a Irwin saw a get a decent finish looking at his hand tool collection
I am a carpenter ( finish no where near your caliber ) however ; absolutely just nailed it work ! You should be proud of your skills and charge appropriately!
I have said this on everyone of this door frame build video; you do such fantastic work. Can't wait to see it installed and the door build. Thank you for sharing.
Once again great content Ollie. May I just put it out there, if there is any joiner/ woodworker who can produce such amazing work please, post it as I can’t get enough of such incredible skills.
Most people have no idea why bespoke joinery costs so much- I’m so glad you’re putting out these vids, might educate a few clients (and most certainly a few joiners as well!) Looking forward to watching the glue-up….and be glad it’s you, not me! Cheers, Ross
Magnificent Oliver. Now I know you’ve gone over this point before, but the more I see of this epic frame nearing completion, and seeing all those glorious, shimmering sections of grain direction changes, the more I just keep thinking what a crying shame it is that those beautiful timber details are going to be covered over with paint. Out of curiosity, have you shown the client any close up images of this piece part completed? It got me thinking that if they saw the almost holographic effect grain details they might very well change their mind and ask for a clear finish. But then again, you might not want to … Just imagine all the extra sanding and you’d end up doing to ensure it all came up to your exacting and commendable standards if it were all going to be on show 😂 🙌 🙌 🙌
Looking brilliant mate! I hate putting skittery little peices through spindle, always skippy / sh#t finish I worked out on little bits and bobs pieces if you just run small piece through with a bigger section of exact same thickness, the feeder pulls it all into fence lovely, and you get one up on the spindle as you’ve fooled it into thinking it’s a normal piece! 😜 But that solid bit of ply is a great idea! Always a nightmare trying to clamp something. I think I’ll copy this one! Just got to find hardware that will bolt to that big slot on aluminium sliding table 👍🏻 Ps. You should try those torquata dado blades I mentioned before, fantastic for the money! Super clean ‘flat’ cut ( no ‘vee’) and available in all sorts of of common bore holes ( get your mind out the gutter) Cheers 👍🏻
Fascinating. And beautiful work. What determines when you decide to cut a rebate using the circular saw, rather than the spindle moulder? I notice you were mostly feeding the spindle moulder by hand.
Great video again Ollie... btw, you got another recommendation from Keith and Matt on their Workshop Banter Podcast (worth a watch or listen guys) Cheers Paul
The worst thing you can do is finish something - building frames / shells go up quickly - boat hulls get built quickly BUT the minute you start to finish the building (interiors) or fit out the interior of the boat your productivity goes down.
Abit off topic… i bought a festool countersink the 5mm one, it doesnt fit in my centrotec chuck, the square bit on the shank of the countersink seems slightly to large to fit in the chuck, do you have the same problem?
I'm not worthy to even watch you do this - let alone attempt it myself. - I would already have screwed it up 20 different ways before you go to this point.
I never quite understand what you are talking about till you start doing it. Always scratching my head wondering what you mean. Too funny. Watching you always reminds me that so many of these things just require time and effort. I know it sounds obvious but you can make jigs, have the tools and all that but often you just need to slow down, creep up on things, stop and think ahead, and take your time to do it right. Often there is no quick fix or easy way out.

Brilliant Carpentry

It's outstanding. Outstandingly complex, outstandingly huge and outstandingly beautiful. So glad you posted in this format.

I'm so in this amazing job, if you filmed 3 hours of sanding I'd probably watch it.
Will test that 😂 cheers bud.
I think I've just watched 3 hours of sanding in edit.... After spending all day sanding FML
Time. The most expensive part of any job. Excellent work as always. Looking very crisp. Cheers. Jim
I hope you're on time + materials. I also hope your customer appreciates what he gets
6.05👌perfect!
Devils in the detail and you're certainly nailing that! Its looking 😍
I love the paint brush wiper on the tenoner. I'm definitely going to steal that idea!
Im in awe of your skills there, superb work.

Wow. You sir are a true artist. Fabulous workmanship

For a million dollars I couldn’t have kept track of the joinery.
Still extremely impressing craftmanship
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Looks Fantastic !!!!! well done
Beautiful work 👍
Would be interested to hear what paint you use and why, and why you might not use something else etc. Awesome video, awesome work!
Gorgeous work mate

Is it the camera or is it only 5ft tall? It can't be for a hobbit hole becasue it's not round... 😁 Amazing Ollie!
🤣🤣 hopefully it's not 5' tall 🫣
👍🥳👍
Loving it so far, looks awesome! Please get a fitting video. Even if it’s just a Timelapse ❤
Mint are you making the door aswell
Looks like it’s all dovetailing now if ull pardon the pun
👍👍🌴🇨🇦

Are you employing anyone
Just wondering .....why use such a beautiful wood if you are going to paint it
Amazing work! I'm with you though, such a shame to cover the lovely wood with paint 🥲

You are a talented man , lovely to see the improvisation , i havent seen a hurdle you cant jump yet :)
As a past member of the Institute of Carpenters one can fully appreciate the craftsmanship that has gone into your work. It was a pleasure to watch.
Ton of detail! How much is a piece like this? Seems like you would have a few weeks of labor in it, plus all of the materials.
Probably looking around £10k when all said and done
Another 10 / 10 mate 👍
NICE
LOL @16:00 does your bandsaw play any other tunes?
Haha, she's a tuneful old girl. Not to everyones taste though 😂
