It is good that you show that you are human and showed your mistakes we all make mistakes but I guess that a lot of RUclipsrs do not show their mistakes.
Nice video. I think I'm going to try this to make some night stands. My wife has been wanting some new night stands and I really like the way these slide close and open. It looks really nice IMO. Great job and keep up the awesome videos! Sub'd and liked 👍
Very nice looking piece. Furniture stores don't have the quality of a nice homeaid piece, built by a master craftsman. Keep building your own designs,you are very good at it.
I can’t help but wonder if it’s the solid 1/2” sheets of plywood that are really your resistance? I’ve always seen it done with slats attached to leather or drop cloth. Looks very nice, hope it works better
1 -- I like the picture-in-picture effect showing what part of the build you are working on. Nice touch. 2 -- you might run the runner space further into the back side of the setup, allowing you to put a fixed back-panel onto it, which the doors slide "in front of" (from the front view). This would allow the thing to stay somewhat fully enclosed, rather than open back or open front, as currently designed. Such enclosure might possibly be desirable with, ummm, "stinky shoes".
Great job! Very interesting design and building techniques. When I first saw the pics of the build I did not realize the curves were sliding doors! I think the veneer will eventually crack with use. But to get the same look maybe you could redesign with the ends being fixed kerf cut plywood and the doors made as tradition tambour panels, as on a roll top desk, but sideways.
That is a very good idea! Prototype looks awesome! I remember seeing something called bendi plywood? Or something? Basically it is a flexible plywood. Might work here as a veneer or kinda.
@@GeometryBuild can't glue the ply to the curved shape because once it needs to straighten to pass the front or back it won't as it's set to the curved shape from using the glue
i thin if you put a sligh chamfer on the back edge of the doors , it would have slid better due to less contact frction. but then that nay have put more pressure on end end of the kefrs causing cracking. you have some serious skills
Looks good , if the gap filler on the base does begin to bother you, I have a Suggestion sanding sealer and flat black paint for the base, you won't be able to tell it's been filled, and the Flat black finish will make a nice contrast. I've hidden more than one unplanned "feature" that way over the years ;) .
Didn't you think to add second panel in the back of the chest closer to the middle so there is no open way for the dust to seep into the chest when slide is closed?
Did you have any issue getting the multiple dowels aligned? I've always been concerned I'd get one off by 1/16 of an inch and then the pieces wouldn't align.
DUDE!!! Once again blown away by your kerf ability and design. What spacing did you use between kerfs? Also going to check out that Grizzly dowel drill. Never saw that before. Keep on with the great videos!
@@JARMade That’s awesome. Just an FYI… why not put a slot in your sled with a thin scrap to 3/16” so you can slide over each kerf rather than look over it from the top and over the blade? Kinda like when making finger joints so they are evenly spaced and you don’t have to risk being above the blade. Just a thought… 🤔💭
Congrats on the build, buddy, subbed! Great that we can learn from your mistakes :D These doors are just amazing, that's too bad they don't slide well. Any improvement in the past few months?
I'm sure you already know, but just starting the video: Make sure you get the rights to anything you design that you wanna sell! Otherwise, companies will steal them from you in a flash. Has happened to other RUclipsrs before

Did you consider screws instead of glue to fix the bottom to the rest? It may have let you avoid cutting the door track.
That's a great idea! I did not think about that
Plans not available anymore. Thanks for the idea though!
It is good that you show that you are human and showed your mistakes we all make mistakes but I guess that a lot of RUclipsrs do not show their mistakes.
Using Mold release might help the gliding action 💡
really cool concept and you executed it very well. Good job Jesus!
Thanks Scott!! Really appreciate that 🙏 🙌
You should go into boat refitting, love your ideas, on a boat this would be a game changer for hidden storage especially in the living ereas
Was looking for a tambour door idea, and found this video. Freakin brilliant. New sub!
Not sure if anyone does this, but i would consider fitting some hidden roller bearings to reduce the resistance.
Exactly what I was thinking
I dont care what critics say... this is the best DIY i ever seen. Looks easy but i am sure i can take a year doing it 😂😂😂😂. GREAT JOB MAN.
Thank you!
That's still the coolest Kerf project I've seen yet!

Most honest wood worker for the average Joe. Subscribing for the tranparency.
Welcome 🙂 and I'm a little embarrassed how many mistakes my next video is going to have lol 😆 but that's how we learn
So in loooveeeeee years! 😍 Just watched your YT video and so impressed! Im going to use your kerf vids for a future breakfast nook tutorial!
Nice work, if it was mine i would like to have a back for the middle square shelfs, but it's just a personal preference
Good thing it's a prototype. 😁 Still a very nice piece that you should be very proud of. - Chris
Definitely am. Thank you 🙂
Very nice looking piece. Furniture stores don't have the quality of a nice homeaid piece, built by a master craftsman. Keep building your own designs,you are very good at it.
Thank you so much!!
I love your approach to your videos
Thank you!
Nice job! Enjoy your honesty about your mistake and then your ability to problem solve.
Thank you! I appreciate that 🙏
I like the project! I also think it’s cool you don’t hide from mistakes you made.
Absolutely! Mistakes is how you learn the most
Looks amazing! Just add an inner wall at the back that will prevent showing up the empty back or items falling out the back 👌
That is an insanely awesome idea.
Awesome video Jesus! This looks amazing
Thank you Chris!
Awesome channel! You won a new subscriber
Awesome dude. Thank you.

Great video. That's is very unique.
Thank you!!
I love it!!!
This is awesome
Brilliant work, dude! It turned out beautiful! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video 🤘
Looks awesome man! I'm sure the cost of the plywood made up for at least some, if not all, of the milling time solid wood would have required.
That is definitely a good way to look at it.
Great job. . It may be a prototype but looks great to me.
Very brave experimenting with that expensive plywood.
Haha go big or go home right? Haha 😄

Yeah I am already seeing cracking on the doors unfortunately
@@JARMade still great job having the courage to experiment.
That is a very good idea! Prototype looks awesome! I remember seeing something called bendi plywood? Or something? Basically it is a flexible plywood. Might work here as a veneer or kinda.
Yeah I actually have bendi ply in my shop but it's super thin
@@JARMade you could glue it to a regular ply and then cut grooves, maybe?
@@GeometryBuild can't glue the ply to the curved shape because once it needs to straighten to pass the front or back it won't as it's set to the curved shape from using the glue
It's a great idea, but almost for sure will break in one of the kerfs overtime. Unless you don't use too much
Good work :)
Looks awesome man. 👍🏻
Thank you!
i thin if you put a sligh chamfer on the back edge of the doors , it would have slid better due to less contact frction. but then that nay have put more pressure on end end of the kefrs causing cracking. you have some serious skills
Could try small recessed rollers to make it easier to glide.
Looks good , if the gap filler on the base does begin to bother you, I have a Suggestion sanding sealer and flat black paint for the base, you won't be able to tell it's been filled, and the Flat black finish will make a nice contrast.

Good idea! But I can't even notice it
Ball Bearings??? might help
Hey nice Video, Quick Question: Now a Year later did the Dors Hold firm or did they get damaged over time just by using them?
They are still holding firm, but I haven't been opening and closing them haha they pretty much just stay open
This is from a whole year ago? Nice work - are you still Cuttin' Up?
Didn't you think to add second panel in the back of the chest closer to the middle so there is no open way for the dust to seep into the chest when slide is closed?
Yes I did. That was the original idea actually, but I ended up leaving it open to air out the shoes 👞.
definitely a beautiful piece. how much would you sell that piece for?
Around $1000 if I was to sell this.
Did you have any issue getting the multiple dowels aligned? I've always been concerned I'd get one off by 1/16 of an inch and then the pieces wouldn't align.
Yeah I worked out in the end. But I would use a different method next time
How do you like the grizzly? I'm extremely tempted to buy one but have seen very little for reviews
So far I've used it on 1 project. This one. But I did like it! I'm working on a review video for it. But it might be a few weeks before it comes out
Perhaps a insert plastic runner?
DUDE!!! Once again blown away by your kerf ability and design. What spacing did you use between kerfs? Also going to check out that Grizzly dowel drill. Never saw that before. Keep on with the great videos!
It was a 3/16 inch spacing but that's over kill you can space them out more lol and yeah I just found out about the doweling jointer lol 😆
@@JARMade That’s awesome. Just an FYI… why not put a slot in your sled with a thin scrap to 3/16” so you can slide over each kerf rather than look over it from the top and over the blade? Kinda like when making finger joints so they are evenly spaced and you don’t have to risk being above the blade. Just a thought… 🤔💭
I didn't think of that lol great suggestion!
Inspiring work! Well done. What's the yellow tool used on the edges?
Edge banding trimmer. This one is made by BAND-IT
@@JARMade Thank you!
Hi mate, yes a few mistakes, but still looks good, well done
Congrats on the build, buddy, subbed! Great that we can learn from your mistakes :D These doors are just amazing, that's too bad they don't slide well. Any improvement in the past few months?
To be honest the doors just stay open all the time haha
For the love of God, watch some videos on how to use a table saw properly while you still have thumbs!!!
Any recommendation? 🤣
you were fine
with repeated use, aren’t you worried the surface cracks would show up and sooner or later it will split?
Yes I am. That's why I Made the doors removable just in case that happens.
@@JARMade love the idea and execution!
Probably late but that gap could turn into a drawer and you could put shoe horns in there
Tambor is a better choice
Tambour does look good !
counter clockwise for right handed woodworkers. clockwise for left handed
First off nice table secondly you do know that router bit are highly unlikely to imploded on you?
We
It may be that your slot needed to be wider as perhaps the tolerances were just too tight.
So because there are to many kerfs the gap isn't a problem. They don't interfere
If the dowel joiner doesn’t cost a $1000 I would take the time to get the hang of it.
Dowel jointer was around $100 when I bought it.
the poly probably just stiffens the wood
It sure did lol
@@JARMade Would an oil finish moisturize the wood and keep the fibers flexible?
I'm sure you already know, but just starting the video: Make sure you get the rights to anything you design that you wanna sell! Otherwise, companies will steal them from you in a flash. Has happened to other RUclipsrs before
Good to know. Thank you! How would I go about doing this?
That's a fantastic chest.
