I'll be making a 1-1/2" thick waterfall coffee table and have been looking at what people are using for glue after mitering, doweling or using biscuits or dominos. The ones I saw from pro builders use epoxy on the joints, so I think that's the best route for the strongest joint. Just need to tape all around the joint to keep squeeze out from getting on the exposed surfaces. Fixing a separated waterfall joint that used wood glue would be a nightmare to make the joint seamless again. I have a sliding table saw. so the 45 degree cuts should go well.
I mean, if you already use doweling, you probably don’t need help with that step anyway. I have zero interest in having makers dumb down projects to cater to the least tool-endowed builders.
I LOVE how you overcame the issue of using your doweling jig at that angle. This is a lot better than seeing other "channels" that bust out a $1400 tool.
Have you done videos on sprayers? What would your recommendation be for entry level builders wanting to get into spraying? Great build! I enjoy watching videos where people present their building challenges and how they overcome them.
Yoooooo Elisha!! NEVER give up, NEVER surrender!! Way to see the cutting through!! You literally are always building the coolest things. Maybe just once (& only if he's OK with it) show us some of Bryce's portion of the shop & some drifting action. Absolutely NO WORRIES if not, I'm just always thinking about it since that one time you guys had mentioned it & see that cars in the background. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!
Mike!!! Thanks for the love man! Bryce is always working on something cool. Today, he's cutting up the frame of a 1950 Jeep truck. I'll try to sneak in some of his content.
There is another method for cutting thick, wide boards like in your case. Inspire Woodcraft found a safe way to use the tablesaw for that type of crosscut and it works! The video is called “tablesaw trick so crazy, it’s genius”! He also figured out how to make easy, perfect blade thick splines that I’ve personally tried and also works great for making splines like in long mitre joints
Great looking desk! We used butcher block from IKEA for our desks too. Could you please explain the "screwdriver" trick? I've never heard of it and don't know what exactly you used it for. Thanks! Great video!
Just in case she doesn't have the time to give you an answer. With as many subscribers as she has I imagine that it becomes quite difficult to read, and address every comment. She rubbed the rounded edge of the screwdriver over the joint edge gently crushing the wood fibers together to remove any gaps. This is just for closing up very wee gaps. Wood is wood, and you will always have irregularities to overcome when making joints, and this is a very good method of finishing the joint. Sometimes it's a good idea to mix some sawdust from the wood that you're working on with some glue then push it into the gap before you roll the seams together. Then when you do the inevitable sanding you won't be exposing the former gap. Take care.
That gel stain can be frustrating to use. If you put on too much before you start removing the excess it will dry and won't come off. You have to work quickly and do small areas at a time. Also practice on scrap material as much as you can first. Your gel stain application looked very good.
Hardwoods are not all "hard" my friend. Hardwood refers to a category of tree species (angiosperm) that have broad leaves vs softwood which are conifers. Although the American hard maple at 6,400 N is a strong wood it pales in comparison on the world stage. The strongest of the hardwood is the Australian Buloke with a rating of 22,500 N. As noted by the video author, butcher block comes in a variety of woods both hard and soft woods.
I too love how you cracked this problem using a basic doweling jig. Incredible work. Thank you for sharing.

Kudos to you for adapting and reusing. Turned out beautifully.
Finally someone on RUclips using plain old dowels and not some expensive bisquit joinery!
And regular tools instead of Festool…

You McGyvered it. Great job

Can you be more specific about what tool you’re referring to? Jk. We know what it is
A very sharp looking desk for your office Elisha! Plus, you did it without breaking the bank. 😃👏
Good morning 🌅, Nice job 👍🏻, France,

Great job! Nice use of the available materials.
You are my inspiration!! Im in my "learning phase" and your instructions are so clear, thank you
Those are cool sawhorses!
You’re getting very accomplished Alicia, nice job.
I love watching you content it’s nice watching you over come problems to get your awesome out comes.

Stunning desk! Really well done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice! I would like to see the rotating shelves.
Great job on the desk.
great video - could you expand on low price paint sprayer options/
Nice, looks good and pratical!
Espectacular, sencillamente espectacular
looks great! I'm wondering if you think the dowels are too close to the edge of the blocks ?

Milwaukee track saw solves all these issues.
The Festool doesn't have the power to cut 8/4 hardwood, but the Milwaukee does.

Превосходно 👍. Вы мотивируете заниматься интересными и полезными вещами! Спасибо!

Gorgeous and impressive.
And the desk is nice too!
Great hair!

Douglas Fir IS a hardwood....
Hi!! Do you edit videos yourself, or have you hired someone? I'm an editor and would love to discuss it if you’re interested.
didn't know you had a bakery in your shop
Ummm… butcher block is always made from hardwood. Typically hard maple. One of the hardest of hardwoods.
Butcher block can (and is) made from a variety of woods
