Curved Front End Table 4 - Fitting Doors, Curved & Veneered Drawer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2016
- In this episode, I cut the curved door panels to size using the bending form I used to create them. Then I cut the veneer for the edge banding, and install it on the doors to give the illusion that they are a solid bent panel. Then install the hinges and hang them.
After the doors are hung, I can start working on the curved drawer front. I cut the face of the curve on a large blank and them create the half blind dovetails for the sides. I then veneer the face of the drawer front so that the grain flows though the doors in to the drawer, then finish making the drawer
As always, I welcome your questions and comments!

Guy - beautiful fit on the door panels. There are so many great builders on you tube, but your projects stand " Head and Shoulders above the Rest" what I consider Fine Furniture. Another great example is coming together nicely. Thanks as always for sharing your incredible skills.
+John Hamilton John, you're making me blush again. Thanks so much for your support, and the nice comment!
Great video Guy. Looks like it will be a great family heirloom piece for years to come. Can't wait for the next video. Love the way you kept the grain flowing thru the drawer into the doors. Keep them coming.
+Larry O Thanks Larry!
I tip my hat to you, Sir. That is awesome work you do, Guy.
+Sean Rubino Hey Sean! Thanks brother!
I learn something from every video you make. Thanks for your efforts and I apprecieate your craftmanship.
+Ed Stengel Hey Ed, thanks for watching and taking the time to write a nice comment. I appreciate the support!
Oh man! I can't wait to see that with finish.
+JD Fidler Actually the table is done now. Going to start the finish next weekend.
The drawers turned out awesome Guy! Nice work. Hey that Incra jig looks sweet! I love how smooth the adjustment seemed to go for the dovetails. Looking great Guy. Can't wait to see the finish.
+Mike Kapotsy Thanks Mike! I have used an Incra fence on my router table for about 16 years or so now. Worth every penny.
Coming together real nice. Looking forward seeing the next step.
+Tom Pritchard Hey Tom! I still haven't decided exactly how I'm going to do the top yet. I'll have it figured out soon enough.
Beautiful ! I'm really looking forward to seeing that grain pop when the finish is applied :-)
+The ShavingWood Workshop Tommy P! Thanks bud! Hopefully we'll get to see that quilting in all it's glory soon.
Oh I'm sure it's going to POP ! should be awesome :-)
It came out great Guy as always, I am looking forward to the next episode!
+Tamás Elkán Hey Tamas! Thanks!
Very nice Guy! Great job on the waterfall with the doors.
+woodworker 631 Thanks Brian! I never heard the word waterfall when describing the grain pattern. I like that!
This end table is really looking great Guy! Super nice work on the curved drawer front! Oh, and nice shirt!
+McCauley's Design HaHa. It's an awesome shirt! Thanks for watching Brian!
+GuysWoodshop This is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, with some really nice techniques, enjoyable to watch with just the right amount of detail!
Looking forward to the next video!
+Stuff I Made Thanks! I appreciate the support!
Enjoyable episode Guy. Your veneer work is very nice, and that's a great touch wrapping the grain along the top of the doors.
Love the furnace ;-) Or how about when your wife enters the workshop as you're filming - I now lock the door when the camera is running.
+Marty Backe Thanks Marty! Yeah, wrapping the grain came out pretty well, but the veneer was so weak, it did crack when the iron hit it and dried it out. I had to cut a little sliver and glue it in.
The darn furnace and air handler are within 6-8 ft of wherever I set the camera, and it always turns on as soon as I get the shot setup and start taping. My wife know now to poke her head in first. I wish I had a dedicated shop. Oh well, you make do with what you have, right?
Really learning a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your videos. Can't wait to see it complete and the finish on.
+David Clauson Thanks for the nice comment David!
Looking great! Hardly wait to see it with finish.
+John Conklin Thanks John!
I hope to be at this level of quality some day. Great work!
+Brian Noah Hey Brian! Thanks for the support!
Beautiful piece of furniture, Guy. This is one of those projects that I want to see the finished piece, but I don't want the series to end -- if that makes any sense.
+KSFWG Thanks Dave! Yes, it makes sense, and I truly appreciate the sentiment.
I have learned so much from your vid's. Keep up the fantastic work.
Oh Boy, oh boy, oh boy ;-) Stunning work very well executed Guy!
+Maurice Blok Maurice! Thanks man. Now I have to decide on the top. Have a couple ideas, just not quite sure.
Great progress Guy!! This is going to be a beautiful table.
+Steve Lyde Steve! Thanks brother!
Great stuff Guy. It's looking beautiful. Love that T shirt too!
+Grant White Thanks Grant! The Dusty Life is really becoming a great podcast.
I look forward to your videos. Great work!
+red corvette Thanks!
Amazing work
Amazing work, Guy. Stunning piece.....
+Jim Pell Thanks Jim!
Guy, fantastic video! You sure make me want to get out into the shop and build something!!! Can't wait to see the end product!
+Doug Nath Thanks Doug! I wish I could be in the shop now myself. HaHa.
Looking great!
+Cody Kniffen Thanks Cody!
That was a quick one to catch us up - haha! Thanks! I thought you had a bench, moxon or leg vice to get a good strong grip rather than those side clamps. The veneer matched up great. Nice planning!
+MRrwmac Thanks Mac! The clamps on the side of my MFT work pretty well too. My bench is pretty darn wobbly too. One of these days I may have to build a better one.
looking really nice guy.love your vids. I think I say this every time I learn something new from your videos each time I watch
+Joe basementwoodworking Hey Joe! thanks man, I appreciate it.
Looking fantastic
+Richard “richard the boss” sargent Thanks Richard!
It looks really good!
+Brad Hubbard Thanks Brad!
Great as usual, Guy.
+Built by Bill Thanks Bill!
Amazing job Guy! Really great fit on those doors and the drawer...
+Tomy Hovington Thanks Tomy! I was worried about the fit myself. Got lucky.
+GuysWoodshop I don't think it has anything to do with luck... Great craftsmanship on the other hand...
Thanks buddy.
Fabulous work Guy. Coming along very well.
+Bob Egbert Thanks Bob. You still building?
+GuysWoodshop Nope not anymore, maybe some day. I still enjoy watching, I have been devoting all my time to building an Amazon business after losing all my wife's income. I am selling books and donating as much as I can to Hospice and using some to live on. I am also building a website devoted to selling books and tools so when I am able to I will be converting sandhill woodworks to do that. When it gets warmer I want to start looking for the wood to build a new Moravian Style work bench and see where it goes from there.
i love your work
Thanks Jose!
Damn Guy, this is am impressive build! Looking forward to the next episode.
+Sean from SimpleCove Thanks Sean! I'm looking forward to what you've got coming up next too.
Nice work, Guy!
+Jack Bench Woodworking Thanks Charlie!
wow man it was a pleasure to see this!! awesome precision job! I liked your explanations. You make it sound easy! thanks for this :D
+Cactus! workshop Thanks Carlos! I enjoy the precision and the process. Thanks for watching my friend!
Nifty trick on flipping the jig to cut the door sides. That's a beautiful piece Guy. Very disappointed that the 1/32 gap is a bit tight at the top ;)
+Wayne Brown HaHa. Thanks Wayne. Yeah, it may be about 1/128 off near the top. I may have to start over....
Looking really good guy
+Mike Fulton Hey Mike! Thanks for the nice comment! You should come by sometime and see it person....
Good progress Guy. Did I really see a couple of hand planes in there! 😉
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD Hey Mitch! Yes, plenty of hand planes. No sandpaper was harmed in the production of this video....
The connection between the back and the sides of the drawer should be made with through dovetails.
Good job Guy, I like the way you work, it's very meticulous and it looks like it gives some nice accurate result. Have you thought about the movement relationship between the solid wood drawer and the veneer ? Do you think the drawer is narrow enough that it won't affect the veneer ? Cheers !
+Jérémie Asselin Thanks Jeremie. Yes, I gave a lot of thought to it. I have added veneer faces to drawers many times in the past, although they have been much thicker at 1/8" or thicker. This veneer is 1/42", so there is a chance it will crack as the wood expands into the summer months. I am counting on the fact that is is going to be in a climate controlled room in my house, and the seasonal movement will not be to great. Only time will tell really. Great question, and thanks for watching!
Fine work Guy! I learn and refine my skills with each of your vids. I haven't done any vacuum bag vaneering, any advice about gear and how much to start? Thanks
+Tom Lagatol Hey Tom! There is a bunch of really useful info on the tools and processes at venerrsupplies.com. Also do a search on You Tube for "Andy Pitts". He has a ton of extremely useful info in his videos.
Hi Guy, thanks for posting these videos. I'm learning so much from your posts.
When I'm making things (which I need to do as time allows) I often feel a bit rushed and make mistakes because of that. How long (roughly) did you take to build this ? Thank you and all the best
Great job, it's looking great. Any particular reason you didn't dovetail the back of the drawer too?
+Brian Prusa Thanks Brian! Over the years I have made hundreds of drawers. And not one of them has a dovetailed back. Why? I can't really answer that. I just find it easier and probably just as strong using the dado in the sides. Just the way I have always done it. Thanks for watching!
Your work is wonderfully professional! I was watching how you made the drawer, to see if you use metal sliders. You placed wood pieces as guides in the base area of the drawer. Was the bottom panel of the drawer notched to allow for the guides to fit the bottom panel? Thank you for your reply.
Thanks Denny! Nope, there are no use of metal sliders on this project. Just wooden runners.
How did you make the runner guides so there was alignment as the drawer moves in and out? Thank you.
Where did you get the cold press veneer glue? I working on a 6 drawer chest and plan
on veneering the drawer fronts. Another well done video.
+Julian Lech Thanks Julian. I got it at veneersupplies.com. I know Rockler and Woodcraft also stock it in their stores.
Guy a fantastic job I have a interest in your router table what kind is it?
+Milton Fludgecow Thanks Milton! It is an Incra router fence on a shop made table.
very nice attention to detail Guy, one question can you cross grain veneer on the drawer front to thick solid like that ? I've heard max thickness of veneer should be 1/16 assuming that is to be completely saturated and a part of the glue. I was wondering about stave core with 1/4" solid/veneer running in same direction (of course it would move to much in your application )
+Mark Me Thanks Mark. I don't think there is an issue with the cross grain of the veneer. The veneer is only 1/42" of an inch thick, and the cold press glue does not suffer from the creep that regular PVA glue would have. The shape of the drawer front and the fact that is a lamination should help prevent warping. There is a chance that the front will expand. Based on the other pieces in my house (controlled environment) which I have carefully monitored the expansion/contraction of for many years, my confidence is very high that there will not be an issue.
Fantastic video, Guy. Does the veneer saw eliminate all the tear out? If you would have made the doors out of a solid piece like the drawer front, what would you say the % chance that they would warp?
+Steve Collins Thanks Steve. The veneer acts exactly like, well, wood. So the saw can tear out during a crosscut since it's very fragile. Ripping is not really an issue. I actually toyed with the idea of coopering the door at one point (like staves in a barrel) and decided this was the way I would go.
+GuysWoodshop Thanks.
Wow Guy... Wow. (You didn't show how you cut the hinge mortises, did you just hand chisel them?)
+Jeremy McMahan Thanks Jeremy. Yep, they were chiseled out by hand. I cut that part out due to the video was running pretty long already.
Understandable. FYI: This project is inspiring. :-)
