    So I’m looking at this amazing build and saying to myself, I’ve got that tool, that machine and that machine so yeah, I can do this. Then I went to my drawer of skill and knowledge and realised how empty it was. I mean it echoes in there. Probably should have invested in the tool between my ears first. 😛

      I can't tell you how complimentary and refreshing that comment is. The usual comment is "yeah, I could build that too if I had all those tools." People seem to forget that tools don't drive themselves, nor do they take into account design, joinery layout, wood movement, grain direction, etc. The tools only do what we tell them to do...well, most of the time...😂

But now that my kids are older and I have more free time, watching your videos makes me want to create again. Thanks so much.

    I really enjoyed the door movement part. You don't see those kind of advanced techniques as often. I don't know if I could justify that extra time for an almost hidden detail (unless those doors really expected abuse) but it was fun to see how it's done.

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking  2 года назад +1

      I absolutely love these doors. I've done some similar (but much more crude) techniques with dovetail battens for a few pieces around the house and for friends, AFTER I saw this video for the first time.
      It was a great technique and I've enjoyed using it to up my own game and build some more skills.

    Great video and project as usual. A tip for cutting elongated screw slots using the Domino that I've found very helpful - layout Domino center lines on opposite faces - cut a 10mm slot on the top face using the medium width setting. Then cut a 5mm or 4mm slot on the opposite face (again medium width setting). Manipulate the plunge depths as required. This accomodates a #10 or #8 wood screw (washer head type) nicely. I posted process on the FOG (Festool Owners Group), if you're interensted.

    GREAT content. Inserta hinges are a game changer. However when I use Blum's push to open mechanism (Tip On) on hinged doors I typically use a "free swing" hinge which pops the door open way further than the soft close hinge and also helps not have to manually push the bumper in before you close a door that has soft close hinge on it.

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking  3 года назад

      Thanks Taylor! Good tip! These hinges allow you to turn off that soft close mechanism, so if the client doesn’t like the way they operate currently they can turn it off. 👍🏻
