People forget what dedication filming takes. It’s not just the woodwork, it’s moving a camera or three, talking to the camera (and sounding fluent in every take), and just, well, having a life. Chapeau, Mr J. Two beautiful cat perches, ahem, tables. I’m always a sucker for a sliding dovetail joint.
Boy I know this is true. I took like 45 hours of video of a couple of my projects and I got everything I needed for making RUclips videos and I started with a short to get me warmed up and I think I had 3-4 hrs into my 1 minute short and I haven’t had the guts to tackle a long video yet. Respect
@@dreambuild2022 The struggle is real. It's always best to have too much footage rather than not enough, but it can be overwhelming at times. Just take it one bite at a time!
I’ve been planning on getting a 3x3 jig but I have SOOO much other stuff to get before that. Hey JKM - when are the router planes going to be back in stock? Thanks! Love both you guys! Thanks for the inspiration.
Sleep is productuve because the brain consolidates memories, and resolves issues. It like a plane blade. its never going to be in use 24/7, but sharpen it, and look after it and the plane it sits in, and when your ready to use it, it will be productive to use and cut well. That's my 2 cents doing nights and rotating shift work for a couple of decades.
Great workmanship as always Keith! And I absolutely agree that the fillet at the top of the table looks nice, and protects the edge. Love seeing Jerry taking an active role while Lola observes from her thrown.
RE; threaded insert install. Since you drilled the holes for them in the drill press, chuck up the approprite size Allen wrench in the drill press, and use the chuck to install the inserts. Machine shop trick!
You can certainly do that, but I also find using a T-handle Allen wrench works very well. And some drill presses don’t have a deep enough throat to accommodate the position of all inserts since the back post limits how far you can push your material back on your drill press table. 👍🏻
Oh my Garsh, when the cat threw head back and coyotes howled, my German Shepherd took off out the dog door and went running to the hedgerow, where she expected to find mama coyote and her babies.
Your tips were all gold in this one, man. I always walk away from your vids with a few new tricks stored in the memory bank. Thanks for the effort and killer work as always!
I love all your content Keith. Having the right tools for the job goes a long ways. That being said I’m slowly collecting the good tools. Keep the great ideas coming.
i think this was a good challenge for you as you're used to taking your time with client work. looking forward to your non-client work content this year!
Look into the jasper hole jigs. Not very expensive, extremely accurate, you can make circles/holes in 1/16" incriments, and it would be significantly faster than building a jig everytime. Highly recommend!
Thanks for sharing Keith. Learned some things and got a really good refresher on some other things. They came out awesome. You are right about using the original wax paper. When I would run out of dry mounting paper I would use Reynold's wax paper. Always held everything in place. Now I need to talk my wife into making some cookies.
Thank you for the video Keith. What do you do with the center cathedral pieces once discarded? Do you have a good use it? If so, what do is one example if you don't mind.
I would love to see you build some walnut speakers for a vinyl console, I think that with the quality and dedication you put into building each piece of furniture they would look great you should consider it 😊😊 i love watching your videos keep uploading more pleas😁😁
Keith here is a tip I hope you will use next time. Use some thin strips of cardboard in between your hose clamp and your material, it eliminates the marring of your material.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I don’t know how you do it! It’s one thing to build for a living but to film too! I’m just so glad you do though and I learn a lot so thank you
Keith, I love that walnut that you used, but I like more, how you played with the cuts, to fit the grains. You have some beautiful little tables and Jerry seems to have passed a good quality and comfort check. I will not tire of telling you that that monaco blonde looks beautiful, to see a beautiful grain in the wood. Although you can't do it with a paint gun. Happy new year and a big hug.
Fantastic video Keith! On the timer you should have stopped it when you weren’t working. Then you would have built them in 48 hours! Anyways, I learned quite a lot. I have never thought about grain direction and how to cut the boards to get the grain to match on the legs! Thanks for sharing this!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I hope you do. There's great power and learning when we challenges ourselves to do things we don't normally do. And it's good entertainment too!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking another question, I am building a fliptop cart. I wanted my router table to be on one side. I thought about cutting in dog holes and using dog clamps to hold the router table in place. I am not sure if dog clamps work upside down though. Any thoughts?
You should get your self a can of woodslide from wurth, spray on the planner bed and wipe of any excess if needed. I also spray the spiral cutter block with it as is stops pitch building up on the knifes. Fast easy and convenient especially if needed half way through a project.
Regardless of whether they are expensive or not, they are still basic tools in a woodshop. Tablesaw, planer, router… All standard tools. Brand and cost do not matter.
He explained about 1 minute in that he was using rough-sawn lumber. He could have used S3S or S4S and skipped the need for a jointer and/or planer. I'm sure he also would have hit the time goal had all that milling not been part of the job.
Keith I love your channel and your work is top notch but there is no way you can say that with a straight face. The cost of a jointer/ planer and many other tools absolutely matters. Cheap tools can work but it takes a lot more skill and work arounds to do so.
Damn Keith you've gotten so darn good at this Woodworking thing. Those would have taken me months 😂. Great looking final result, I love the straight grain look as well that technique you used to achieve it is a good one.
6:57 - wait, isn't it the opposite? (if the sharp edge is under your fence, you will be cutting slightly bigger than expected, so you'd want to compensate by making the fence read a bit tight?)
Hi Keith, Catchy name, that. When I saw this vid’s title, I thought « 48 hours, huh? That’s six working days in my shop. Should be doable. » . But you surprised me by working well into the evening. Nearly made it, too. Cheers, Keith
Wouldnt it be easier to make the upright out of one piece then cut the angled sides? Even if you had to glue a few pieces to make a big enough piece for the solid upright.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I have 11 lol. I can't find 9 of them! I have the green one and I put them everywhere and somehow they go poof! Haha dang elves.

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the comment. 👍🏻
So good Keith. Love all the stop blocks! a 3x3 trim router jig is on the way so you don't have to make those circle cutting jigs every time ;-)
THanks JKatz! And yes, the 3x3 jig is perfect, but wanted to show people how to make a quick down and dirty one 😜
I’ve been planning on getting a 3x3 jig but I have SOOO much other stuff to get before that. Hey JKM - when are the router planes going to be back in stock? Thanks! Love both you guys! Thanks for the inspiration.
That router jig is $$ it basically stays on my router
@@CloverWoodDIY Nice! The 3x3 jig is fantastic, BTW!
I would still call this a win. You can't count sleep in productive time! Not even big businesses do that. You earned the win!

haha. Maybe I will! He's definitely not camera shy 😹
Great job, Keith. I've been watching Joe Thiele for as long as I've been enjoying your videos. Great to see you working "together".
Awesome, thank you Eric! Joe is a fantastic furniture maker…just wish he lived out in the east coast so we could do a build together!
Oh my Garsh, when the cat threw head back and coyotes howled, my German Shepherd took off out the dog door and went running to the hedgerow, where she expected to find mama coyote and her babies.

Right on, Brock! Thanks man. Building a workshop takes years so enjoy the process!
Jerry's gotta be a paid actor, his timing is impeccable!
He's such a ham when the camera is on 😹
I really like the look with having the small flat above the 15 degree bevel. Even if tooling wasn't an issue I would still want it that way.
Right on! Definitely a matter of taste and preference on that detail. I like both, but it’s a total coin flip for me 😂
i think this was a good challenge for you as you're used to taking your time with client work. looking forward to your non-client work content this year!
Thanks man! I was on a mission with these tables. Luckily, nothing went horrible wrong 😂
Lola and Jerry are so worth running over your deadline 👍🏻 gorgeous little things
Yes they are! And you're right - totally worth it! 😻😻

Really Nice job !! 48h … lol
At the price of the hour in carpentry it is not saleable.... It's sad.
