TULIP POPLAR BOOKSHELF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- A simple joined shelf using tulip poplar boards attached using wedged through tenons sitting in a housing dado.
Boards are about 7/8”X12” and wedges are red oak.
Finish applied is raw linseed oil/citrus solvent followed with a beeswax burnishing using a grass polisher.
I just wanna say thank you for not putting some annoying music over your vids. The sound of the sharp tools is all we need. Nice job.
Yeah. Some music selections are atrocious. Besides, the shop ambience is the best audio anyway.
Tom Fidgen from the Unplugged you mean? :)
I'm pretty sure Tom uses his own music... which sort of makes it worse.
I agree
Amen!!!!
As far as I can tell, from the video, that's not a bookshelf, it's a cat shelf.
well you do need to store your cats as well. 😁
Beautiful work, excellent soundtrack.
I'm brand new to woodworking but this shelf realty caught my attention. So, I made this as my first actual woodworking project.... except I used pine because it's a lot cheaper(in case I messed it up too badly).
I stained the sides a dark walnut and just used boiled linseed oil on the shelves and oak tenons. It's not nearly as pretty as this one insofar as fine details but I think it turned out pretty great! I have it full of books in my man-cave now and it stands up straight and holds them so that's a win, to me. Thank you, Mr. Chickadee, for the awesome idea and video.
I think that's awesome and good luck to you on your next project whatever it will be. :)
Wood shavings have only one natural enemy... the domestic cat. Nice work.
Nice to see Charles doing his job and giving it the final inspection and approval. Far too many cats 🐈 don't earn their keep these days. Nice to see a hard working kitten for a change.
Grass polisher?, is this like a whisk broom fibers? What plants are used, or is it just any hay, brome, or straw-like grasses? I've made very similar tools to yours to get into the crevices but they always left tiny bits in the finish that only showed in the right light :( Nice work as always!
I am curious about this process as well. I have not seen it done before.
He's using a pollisoir. trestore.wkfinetools.com/finish-wood/Polissoir/Polissoir-01.asp
I happened to gather some tall tough grasses which grow high in the Andes of Peru while living there with my wife, the locals use them for brooms. Any tough grasses would work.
I'll admit that my first thought was the same grass which polishes my mower blades, but it sounds like a chisel. My tool was an old whisk broom with tapered and crumbling ends and blue electrical tape. If only I'd flipped it over. Native grasses are right over the fence from here, next time. Thanks for the clarification.
otra opción es hacerlo con fibras de bambú
Mr. Chickadee you are a true student of the craft! I JUST posted a video of a VERY similar bookshelf build a week ago with through tusked Mortise and Tenons like that. I'd be honored if checked it out and let me know what you think. I use hand tools for all the joinery, but I'll admit there are some power tools for some things.
Thanks and great job on your shelf. For me at least the more I unplug, the more I find my skill and understanding of the material increases, but I understand its impractical for some.
Mr. Chickadee Thank you very much, and I totally agree. Hand tools and traditional joinery make one a much better wood worker. Thank you for all your great videos!!!
There's something so satisfying about wedged tenons, I use it wherever I can.
Mr. Chickadee I use few hand tools, but you, Tom Figden and now even Mr J Bates recent foray into some partial hand tool projects are making me desire a quieter and more natural work space. Thank you.

Very nice and I see the inspector approved as well.
Stephen Francescon I'm no cat person, but ever since Charles was checking out the nail flushness on the staircase build, I find myself grinning a little when he shows up everytime since.
The cat knows his stuff.
Absolute wood porn! Love the noise of a plane effortlessly removing stock
Subscribed bc u look like the coolest guy that ever lived
a true old school craftmen very nice work
I love that you show how frequently you stop to care for your tools and what an integral piece that is to the process. Excellent video. Thank you.
Beautiful project. If I may ask, what were you doing at the end when you were using that brush to scrub the shelf?
Its an old finishing method where you rub beeswax into the wood grain.
Could you elaborate more on that? Are you filling a knot with beeswax? Is it pure, or did you mix with oil? What is the brush/tool you are using made of?
I've got a lot of walnut from a tree that grew in my grandparents back yard, and much of it is highly figured, and quite a few boards are pretty knotty... I've been casually keeping an eye open for an old school method of filling knots and general gaps with something natural. I really don't want to ever use epoxy in my shop...
I'm assuming something like boiled linseed oil @ 9:31? But what was that last step?
Never mind. I see Michael Young has answered my query below. The use of the polissoir seems to be more in tune with nature than other modes of finishing as well as being the most pet friendly. Charles certainly seems to agree.
It passed the Kitty Approval Test. >^..^<
Could you do a video on how you sharpen your chisels?
BTW, I'm impressed how you can use a hand saw and cut a straight line with it. I can't do that to save myself.
Ive shown that in two videos, most recently here…
ruclips.net/video/-ar6ikn4EVc/видео.html
I guess I missed that one.
do you take your raw logs to a sawmill in order to process them into lumber or do you do that by yourself?
Ive done a little of both, much easier to just buy green wood from a local mill
Love the bookshelf! It's beautiful. Finished just in time for Mrs. Chickadee's birthday!
Mary Alice Stevens , well then, Happy Birthday to Mrs. Chickadee.
Roy Underhill and Norm Abrams would be quaking in their shoes if they viewed this video. Josh, you are an inspiration to us "wanna-be's" who watch your videos and wish we had the gumption to follow in your footsteps. Please continue to live your dream and keep the videos coming.
Thanks. I learn something new every time I watch, any of the videos you put out. Nice work.
This man basically just said "Frick you IKEA! I'll Build my own dang shelf!"
No project is ever finished, until a cat sits on it..... LOL. My cats are exactly the same.
And I love tusk tenon construction. I've built a lot of stuff with those from bookshelves to bed frames.
Fantastic work , as always.
Semper Fi, brother.
kitty approves.
Very very nice Mr. C!
Simply incredible.... love the through mortise and tenon and pegged. Adds a whole layer of craftsmanship to this build. Also, I loved hearing the sharp tools.
Wranglerstar's head is exploding..l.
Just read your comments, disregard previous comment.... DUH!!!! I'm dumb!
Great job! First time I saw your channel and signed up. Thank you very much!
Cat approved!
Very nice! Grain pattern on both vertical pieces really add to the quality. Great job ! Cats seem to like it too : )
Plot twist;
The downvotes come from IKEA and power tool manufacturers
What are you doing at the end of the video using (???) with a wrapped bundle of (???) and bees wax? What is the purpose? Final finish? Removing fibers? Just wondering as I have not seen this activity before.
absolutlet beautiful bookshelf. wish I had that kind of skill. would be awsome to see him make a hope chest
Very nice ❤️ Did you ever make a video on making your door? Or is that a window shutter? How about a dutch door, split one? Would love to see?
Seems it passed final inspection, Very nice work !
I'm curious to know if you got the "knife wall" technique I see you using from Paul Sellers?
At 10:25, what are you doing with the small bundle of sticks? Bookshelf looks fantastic. Splendid work.
He's using a pollisoir. trestore.wkfinetools.com/finish-wood/Polissoir/Polissoir-01.asp
Your video of the medicine chest is wonderful and inspiring thanks
Wow you dont see many things made from the tulip poplar but I like the book shelf
At around 5:17 what is that thing you're using? I've never seen it before
beautiful. made with thought and care.
What is there to dislike about these vids. I guess there are people jealous of people with real skill
Beautiful work
are these joining methods good for building a wooden bench?
Can you please do a video on how you cut logs down to planks and smaller stock.
You just gotta love that ksshhhh ksshhhhh ksshhhh sound a sharp bench plane makes.
Cross fit has nothing on this. You should sell hand planes to gyms.
Shop cat approves. 'Nuff said.
Lovely! And kitty-approved!
Nice bookshelf! Where's the little doggie???
Thank you, she passed away last year...
Aw I'm sorry to hear that. She was lovely. I used to watch just for her.
wonderful payment of the cat tax
What is it that you use to seal you wood products
its seem like you workout without gym
Amazing Work !!! Love your videos !!! Never stop !!! Big Hug from Portugal !!!
Beautiful video, no screaming music, no talking, just the sound of wood
Now subscribed, keep them coming
veri good

I always come back and look at this. It's just very beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you.
Beautiful book shelf. What was that scrubbing tool near the end, a bundle of straw dipped in bee's wax? Did it pass the kitty's inspection?
Thanks, please see the description for finishing. Luckily we passed final inspection. ')
Your videos are among my very favourite on YT. I just always feel GOOD when I see your beautiful works. Thank you and great job guys, on the beautiful little shelf, and on the beautifully documented journey.
Awesome build! A beautiful piece built with great skill and care.
man you are seriously making me want to reconsider my "no buying prohibitively expensive old-timey hand planes" policy...
Beautiful! Any craftsman from any age would be proud to claim that workmanship.
I swear you must be part Amish because your handcrafting skill is astounding. What was that silver Stanley tool, was that a manual router? Anyway, amazing work as always, keep up the good work.
Thank you, it was a stanley router plane
Wats that thing u do at the end.. Wat is that?
So simple but so very elegant, Marvelous work, cannot wait for you next video
Wonderful workmanship! Absolutely a work of art master. Thank you!
Due to your choice of how to live and craft, using many traditional techniques and tools, you have a fairly unique perspective on hand tool usage in a wide breadth of woodworking applications. I'm curious if you have a tool that is just a joy to use every time you pick it up? That one tool you'd give up last, if you had to give them all up (perish the thought!). Secondly, if there is a relatively obscure/lesser-known hand tool you use that you think hand tool or hybrid woodworkers should add to their arsenal, if given the opportunity?
Oh boy, making me pick between my babies?! Thats really tough…I guess as far as the most pleasurable to use…that would be my try plane, she effortlessly removes lots of wood but leaves a finish I can see my reflection in…obscure tool thats very useful to many? Hmmm Id say my sumipostsu, or Japanese ink line, it really revolutionized my timber framing.
This video made Wranglershill go back to scrapping jeeps!
I don't do this type of work myself but I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Nice job and video, I agree with Keven about annoying music, also loved the kittens they are so inquisitive at that age. I just found your channel on "Jays things around the web", I like the way you do things so I have subscribed and added you to my watch list.
beatyful job, hanks for the vid . and keep them coming . great watching you work.
Beautiful job! I like that you left the poplar it's natural color. Love the grain and color of poplar. I particularly like the gentle use of force in your projects. Carefully inserting wedges and applying just enough pressure to seat the joints. As a descendant of Early Appalachia settlers, I enjoy watching the application of traditional methods. Suggest you visit the Magoffin County Historical Society in Salyersville. They have gathered various historic traditional buildings you might enjoy seeing.
nice bookshelf my friend it turned out awesome.
Man your videos are a work of art. The content is of course. But the method.... brilliant! Please give my props to whoever's behind the camera and editing the footage.
Thank you! Such a beautiful piece of furniture. Nice to see workmanship this day an age!
The tools you use are cool! Where did you get them? Do you have a vid about them?
2:26 Thickness question: When you're doing this are you establishing the edges first and then planing across the grain until you start to take shavings near your scribe line? This is one of the hand plane skills that still baffles me. BTW, I love poplar, it's my favorite wood to view and to work with, and I really enjoy how it pairs with red oak or cherry.
Thats right, as soon as diagonal cuts hit the line, you either leave it that way or flatten it more with the try plane depending on desired finish or application.
I see you have to bring everything to the cats approval. she inspects every joint very carfully. . keeps you towing the line. nice work. never get tired of watching you work.
Hi i love youre videos, you are realy skilld. what are you doing at 10,40, polish?
Yes,, traditional beeswax polish
A wonderful mastery with traditional instruments. Congratulations.
this is so fucking beautiful. be my dad and teach me everything, I wanna grow up like you
sortysciaofiscia the first lesson should be proper and polite use of the English language. The "f-word" was not called for in this comment. You could have said it is really beautiful, ir quite beautiful. Contrary to modern ease of use of "foul" language, using it still makes you sound (read) like an un/under educated buffoon. You are free to say what you like in this country. However, proper English and loss of the cursing improves peoples perception of you. God bless you with the control of the words you choose to use.
always watch your great work, and I like all the videos. Thanks for doing this , I believe that I can build this myself. Probably the only thing that I can build that you have shown us, very cool.
Beautiful work! What's happening at 10:30?
Oh, your description explained. sorry I missed that
That is a neat project. I have been thinking of a large tool case and I may snitch your design.
I used to like working with poplar. Somehow I became sensitized to it and the dust breaks me out in a rash.
Nothing like watching those shavings fly.
Thank you for the video.
Binged watched Mr. Chickadee! Awesome Work!
Thank you Mr. Chickadee for sharing this work with us. The video is pleasing
Finished case is "Kitty Approved", must be OK.
Love tulip poplar! It darkens to a beautiful tan/brown color. Niece piece of furniture!
Oh my god oh my god.master. gretings from México. Que hermoso trabajo.
we're admiring your simple design. beautiful.
*Very* nice video job, awesome craftsmanship, my hat is off
Looks great and should be of good use for a long time to come. Very enjoyable. Thanks for your hard work in bringing us these great videos!
Minha mãe adora seus videos, ela tem 75 anos. Por gentileza mande um abraço pra ela (minha mãe)!
Te elogia dizendo : este que é homem... !! kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Well done sir.
Wonderful a new mr. Chickadee day to bring some serenity to my day!
Are there any guides on how to use these type of planes?
I have one that's been in my family for generations but I haven't the slightest idea how to set it up.
I'm still learning how to set up my Stanley's, this wood one it's a complete mystery to me.
I'm not even sure what to call this type of plane.
well there are many types of wooden planes, Id recommend Roy Underhills books on basics, though if its a double iron bench plane you will need to set up the chip breaker correctly so they work like mine. Here is a good video, its a series of 3, that shows how to set up the chip breaker to prevent tear out.
The simplest explaination on setting up an old plane is, take out the blade, clean the rust and sharpen it, if its got a chip breaker set that up as in the linked video, then flatten the planes sole, I soak the whole thing in raw linseed oil till it wont take more, they might drink several cups, then try it out. You may be fine from there, you may need to bed the iron, where you use something like a marker or candle soot to see where the blade touches the plane body and gently scrape or pare down the high spots till it sits well. I have never had to do this last step but it might be needed.
Thats all for a bench plane, like a smoother, jack, jointer or try plane. If its a profiled moulding plane or something similar, you will need to make sure the blade matches the sole profile, if not grind the blade to match.
