    why are you thinking of this as a temporary measure? I think it is very useful, versatile and a tribute to your skills. When we built our first house my husband fitted out the kitchen and we kept it for 35 years - we loved it so much, we love the memories of each attempt to do it right, I didn't want to part with it.

    • @kathleencollings7021
      @kathleencollings7021 4 месяца назад +14

      I agree, my husband made me a smaller version of this that sits under the worktop. The baskets are used everyday and as it is on castors, it can be wheeled out when the whole family come over and we need more work surface in the kitchen. I would never changed it for a more “perfect” one. Perfectionism can sometimes get in the way of life.

    • @MAKEDOGROW
      @MAKEDOGROW  4 месяца назад +29

      Mostly because it’s not the right shape for how we want to use the space (can’t reach the sockets on the wall for example).
      We’ll use this prototype to work out how we want our final table to be (shelves or drawers etc) and later this table will get moved somewhere else. It will still be used, just not in the kitchen

    As a former apprentice to a cabinetmaker and a veteran of diy, you’ll never truly be able to sand dried glue off wood. The only way is to wipe the glue off as you do the glue up. Damp rug in warm water and wipe as you go. Don’t worry about getting the piece wet. The glue inside will hold. Been doing it this way for decades.

    The absolute joy of woodworking is the process. Stretching your brain to find solutions, the feel of the wood, the smell of fresh sawdust, learning new skills - there is nothing like it. Don't worry about the minor imperfections. Every project I have ever done has had minor imperfections that only I know about and I have made some very nice pieces of furniture. When someone praises your work resist the urge to point out these imperfections! Just bask in the awareness of a job well done. Confidence will come in time. You have made a wonderful start!

    Love the ginger kitty, my little sweetheart, now 10 years old, is a ginger, but with no white, and he's an absolute love. My husband built a few pieces over the years, bookshelves etc, basic but functional and very sturdy, with very basic tools. Through the years and many moves, and lightening the load out of necessity, the only piece I have left is a large blanket chest he made out of pine almost 40 years ago. As creative and handy as he was, he was not great at applying the finish, so that was my job, and I still enjoy refinishing small pieces to this day. Your project came out great, and it reminded me of way back when...thanks guys, been with you since the beginning and enjoy watching your progress...carry on! 🌸

  • @SwimCoach8
    @SwimCoach8 4 месяца назад +52

    OK here are some of my 50 years of wood working suggestion. Glue squeeze can be 99% cleaned with a slightly damp rag at glue up.
    Don't forget your table saw can produce incredibly accurate, repeatable tenons for joinery.
    For larger glue ups, I use pipe clamps. They use cheap black pipe as the bar. I have a selection of 3, 4, 6, and 8 foot sections of pipe. 4 sets of pipe clamps and a selection of pipe is like having an entire selection of clamps.
    If clamped properly, wood glue will stick. Gluing both sides of a joint just causes more squeeze. Most of the glue you apply is wasted when it squeezes out. Your clamped joints are incredibly thin, almost invisible.
    When ever possible, carefully align all the pieces for dowels. Use your square and a sharp pencil to make identical marks for your dowel placement. Makes placement of individual legs or pieces less critical.
    A dado blade for the table saw is an amazing addition.
    A tenon jig is also incredible.

    You don't have to apply glue to both surfaces in order to get it to bond correctly. You just need to apply enough glue before clamping. Always use a damp rag to wipe away excess squeeze out glue any stain applied after will not stain the wood. It looks good when painted.
