That's a beautiful piece. Bravo. One thing I was impressed with was your lack of whining about sanding your work. Practically every YT builder seems to take pride in the fact that they hate the sanding and finishing. As a painter, I know how important that step is to determining the luster and feel of the finished product.
I'll never understand why in almost every video, people feel the need to add that "sanding sucks but you have to do it" line!
I do cheat with my sanding which does make it more tolerable, I use my hand planes for most of the surface prep then finish with a 180 hand sanding, works perfectly on most woods and shortens the monotonous sanding part of every project.
You go man! great piece of heirloom grade furniture, looks great, the commentary is spot on, I also like the background noise / music / voice combo, it simply works for me :)
Keep creating content of this grade and you will surely get where you want to !
Much appreciated!
A pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. I like the commentary explaining why you made each design choice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, that is a gorgeous piece~! Love the Walnut & Cherry together.
Thanks! It really is a nice combination, especially after a year now as the cherry has darkened, the colors are very rich!
So going to try this. Thanks for the video.
Love this! I’m in the early stages of building a very similar chest, using mortise and tenon joinery. This gave some great design ideas that will make it so much better!
They are such a fun project and the mortise & tenon makes them very solid!
Well done.
Thanks!
Every piece a work of art inside and out, top to bottom.
Thanks, one of my favourite things is spending time making sure a piece looks good from every angle!
absolut beautiful!
the piece of furniture and your video!
thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the book matched vertical walnut framing on the front. Awesome build
I'm glad you noticed those, it's a small touch but every time I see them it makes me so happy!
The effect from that cove bit on the panels is super slick 👌 Really beautiful work 👏
Thanks, that's been one of my favourite details to add to my floating panels!
I can't understand why you have such little subscribers when you do such quality work
That's the fun part of RUclips, it likes to keep some of us as hidden gems!
Hey Morgan, I'm a fine furniture maker located in Texas. I spend most of my spare time looking for furniture porn on RUclips. (I've been told I have a problem and should seek help) I thought I'd seen everything RUclips had to offer. Glad when I see new channels pop up, because I know precisely how much time it takes to document your work. (The reason I didn't try to do my own channel). I subscribed to show my support. Beautiful stuff bro! Keep it coming.
Sadly there's no support group for that kind of addiction, just people like me who enjoy feeding it!
Thanks for subscribing Colin!
Absolutely beautiful work! Nice job!
Thank you very much!
As I’ve said before it’s a really great piece of furniture, I think the difference with your projects compared with some others is the time you put in and the quality of finish. Again great project and looking forward to seeing what you do next. Thanks for sharing Morgan 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting on my videos Steve! It really helps to keep me inspired to make more videos!
Awesome job!!! Your a man that definitely pays attention to detail..
Thanks, the details are my favorite part about woodworking. Just trying to find those spots where you can add in the little subtle touch!
Beautiful heirloom piece
Thanks!
Stunning ❤❤❤
Very proud piece of form and function.
Thanks, I've always like blanket chests for that exact reason!
What a beautiful piece and great craftmanship!
Thank you very much!
Nice video on a great build. Been thinking about a chest like this. Thank you for sharing.
Love the hinges.
They really are a fun project, not to complicated but very useful!
And the hinges are my favourite part, the hand forged look is just amazing!
Excellent product
Thank you!
Just perfect!
Thank you!
Beautiful build. Looks lovely.
Thank you!
Nice work! I do also like the way you cut the Cherry into strips, looks great and probably way more stable.
Definitely more stable, since I started using that technique I haven't had the same issues with wood movement that I've had on normal flat sawn panels.
@@morganhurst_redridge nice! That is a great little "hack" to keep in mind in the future! Thank you for letting me know
Great work, very fun to watch it all come together, also have to admit that the breadboard ends and use of dowels is super appealing. Keep it up!
I meant the use of breadboard in your other videos, you decided not to use them in the end on this one obviously!
You may have noticed I'm slightly obsessed with breadboards ends, I mostly just love how they look but the fact that they also keep the table top flat is just awesome!
Thanks for watching my videos!
Such a beautifull box!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
sir
I must say you are a master
Thanks for sharing
So nice of you!
thank you
Wow, that is spectacular, great job!
Thank you very much!
I stumbled onto your channel and subscribed after one video. You're a man of many talents, my interest is in the woodworking. I'm glad you speak to your mistakes and explain how to correct them, and also appreciate the multi-part series with a 'capstone' summary video. I'm commenting in this older video because you mentioned how much you love your chisel mortiser. I have the same Powermatic model and - to me - it's frustrating to use... alignment, securing stock, etc. I'd love to see a video if you have time on tips and tricks for that specific mortiser... and of course more wood projects! -- Thanks from Virginia/USA
Thank you for your kind words Matt!
For the mortiser, I put this video out a little while back ruclips.net/video/Xvz3aY20E0g/видео.html , and it's basically everything I know when it comes to setting up and using a mortiser.
If you're just looking for setup tips you can start later into the video with this link ruclips.net/video/Xvz3aY20E0g/видео.html
Let me know if you need anymore info!
@@morganhurst_redridge Very helpful - waiting for your next woodcrafting video!
Fantastic 👍👍
Thank you!
masterly work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful work, Morgan. I was recommended your channel by Mr. RUclips, so thought I’d give it a watch.
It’s nice to see a channel that shows all aspects of joinery and makes it as traditional as possible - granted, machines do make life a little easier and faster, but it was nice to see more hand tools.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and show you respect for such a well thought out, detail rich and stunning project. All the best to you. Chris, UK.
Thanks Chris, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
@@morganhurst_redridge. You’re welcome. Keep up the great work.
That was absolutely beautiful! I've been watching tons of woodworking videos because I
want to learn. This build was amazing, congrats man!
Thanks!
If your interested I also have a detailed build series about this chest that goes alot more in depth on some of the techniques used. ruclips.net/p/PLjQuOMkmdluaE3cNO7YB0FFw9UxIBipUR
@@morganhurst_redridge Hey thanks! I'll do that! I'd love to be able to build a chest like that someday! Take care my friend!
Hi I just found your channel. Very very nice work sir! I love the dowels it’s a nice subtle touch.
I've always loved how good joinery is not only beautiful but also functional! Thanks for watching!
Amazing work and I really appreciate all of your explanation throughout. Just discovered your channel and subscribed.
Thanks and welcome
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
Was trying to count the word “walnut” being said. After a minute or two i gave up. 😂
When I'm using walnut, I'm going to make damn sure you know it's walnut!
Instead of dowels I would have used either brass or copper pins. They look very elegant with walnut and it would have eliminated the dowels breaking problem...just a thought.
I've wanted to try that for a while now, I've just had a really hard time trying to find brass/copper stock that is accurate dimensions to fit drilled holes. I bought some nice stuff from a knife supplier, which was pretty expensive, but is definitely something I'll try at some point!
That is a great piece. I think I'll just use balsa. No, all kidding aside, that is a very nice video and will be extremely helpful in taking my work to the next level. Thank you!
Balsa, at least around me, is more expensive than walnut, that would be one pricey but light chest!
Thanks for watching!
How’d I miss this one? Nice build brother👍 I like the two tone!
Thanks! The two tones has really become a staple of my woodworking style, I love how certain woods blend so perfectly together!
Feeling kinda dumb here. I made myself a Norm Abrams style panel sled a few years ago and use it all the time... it never occurred to me to turn my Kreg miter gauge around to achieve the same. 🤣
I had the same feeling when I saw some use their miter gauge this way in a video, I can't remember who it was but I remember thinking it was awesome!
You have created a beautiful chest! One question I was hoping you could answer is about the legs. I see that your dado cut goes from end to end on the leg pieces, but I don't see the dado on the small exposed bottom section of leg on the finished piece. What did you use to fill in that exposed length of the dado cut and how did you apply it?
I just fit up some small filler pieces and glued them in place to fill the groove. I prefer doing it this way because I find it's easier than trying to do a stopped groove with the router.
New subscriber: Great video! I hope you stay with it. I'm sure it can be frustrating when starting out on youtube. I would like to make one suggestion {and this is just my opinion}, don't do those super-fast shots. I know a lot of woodworking youtubers do it, but it really breaks the mood. Instead of planing a whole board at super-fast speed, just cut the shot down to a few strokes at normal speed. It would keep with the overall tranquil mood of your video. Again, thanks for posting your work, and good luck!
Thanks for subscribing!
I do agree with you about the fast speed clips, I personally don't like adding them to the videos but sometimes I feel like have to in order to convey the idea and fit the RUclips style. I'm working on improving my filming/editing techniques and as I get better I hopefully can stop using those sped up clips.
HI, I was wondering if that crosscut sled is an incra made one.? The chest amazing!!
It's the incra miter express, if you already have a miter gauge I highly recommend it!
I would really love to learn from you 🙏🏻
Someday I'm planning to put out full online class, so you might just be able to!
outstanding workmanship! one question - source for the hinges? can't make out the detail information from the video.
They're from Horton Brasses, in their hand forged iron collection. They're pretty expensive but defenitly worthwhile if you're planning to build a chest.
www.horton-brasses.com/item.asp?PID=12798
Wonderful looking piece! Any plans for this chest?
I'm currently using it to store all of my outdoor gear since it's big enough to hold my backpacks, tents and all the clothing!
okay, you better store some really, really expensive blankets in there
Sadly I don't have enough expensive blankets to fill it so I just store thousands of dollars in outdoor gear instead!
What is the dowel maker that you used? I’ve never seen anything like that before. Thanks
It's the Veritas Dowel Former, it works great and is definitely something I'd recommend getting if you're looking to make dowels.

I live in the Calgary area as well. I’m very curious where you get your wood from?
The main place I buy from is PJ White (4033 11 St SE, Calgary, AB T2G 3H1), they have good prices, a decent variety and you get to pick out your own stock. You have to be careful buying walnut from them since most of it's rough sawn and it's hard to see a difference between the heart and sapwood, but it is the only place in Calgary I've found walnut that is not steam dried so the colors are much more vibrant! Also with their 8/4 white oak, most of the boards I've bought have had intermetal stress cracks from improper drying, so I try to avoid buying that from them.
The other place is Formations Inc. (3916 70 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2C 2K1), very similar prices to PJ but you don't get to pick your own lumber and I've gotten some pretty garbage quality stuff from them. Their walnut is filled with knots and defects, so your way better off taking the gamble at PJ. Their Cherry is pretty much full sapwood on one side and the white oak was horribly milled and well under the 4/4 thickness. These guys are my backup option when PJ doesn't have what I need, only because their prices are better than having to go to Black Forest.
I don't buy lumber from black forest mostly because their prices are insane, and their floor staff which is mostly guys my age are very condescending.
Wonderful design touches.. where did you find those hinges?
They are from Horton Brasses, www.horton-brasses.com/item.asp?cID=97&scID=242&PID=12798
They are very expensive but well worth it!
What are your thoughts on adding aromatic cedar to the interior
Personally I really don't like aromatic cedar, mainly because it looks horrible and I really like inside of the stuff I build to look nice. Secondly, the only way it releases a smell is if you don't finish it, which then lets the wood dry out and crack. The smell also doesn't last, I've looked at alot of chest and cabinets that had aromatic cedar lining and most had only a barely noticeable smell.
My secret is a scented paste wax, basically when making a paste wax at home you add a few drops of scented essential oils (I like apple pie or cedar) then apply that to closed areas. This holds the good smell for longer and you can re-apply it whenever the smell starts to fade or change it when you want something new!
Ok I am looking at making a chest but I was curious about insect protection for blankets being out in the country
I've only heard some talk about insect repellent but I was able to find this article from wood magazine that kind of busts that idea.
www.woodmagazine.com/materials-guide/lumber/moth-repellent-cedar
The cedar might work for a little while but it's not a good long term approach, the essential oils should have a similar effect since they are extracted from cedar.
Here's another article with some good ideas like just putting fresh strips or blocks of cedar in every so often.
www.spacecentrestorage.com/blog/how-to-keep-pests-out-of-your-storage.html#:~:text=Add%20a%20Repellent&text=Some%20non%2Dtoxic%20insect%20repellants,sheets%2C%20linens%2C%20and%20towels.
All that said it's really up to you, if you like that look of the aromatic cedar then it's a good option. These are just some of the things I've looked into since I'm not a fan of the wood.
I love this piece so much that it will be my 1st real attempt at a fine piece of furniture once my mortiser gets here Margan my friend.. I'm going for the same Mortiser u have. I was pricing some of the powermatic tools up like their table saws, Jointers, etc.. They're expensive enough tbf but are they worth buying as an option. Is it an American company? Powermatic I mean? Are these tools made in the USA? I like the idea of that bro. Or CANADA even.. I want to know that the parts are top quality and u will never get that from the Asian markets imho. I've spent enough money over there in the past to know they don't use the best materials when building their parts or machines..
I'm in the process of kitting out my workshop and money is tight right now Margan mate so I was wondering how to begin? I'm getting the mortiser like the one u have but I'm willing to wait on the Table saw for a while bcos I have enough saws to be able to do cuts on woods for now. I will get the table saw in a few months if money allows it but I want to get me one of those cheaper Planer/Jointer Thicknesser from ErBauer .. It's just a quick fix for now while I'm learning about some of the techniques I need to learn before spending a large sum of money on the 6/8" jpointer/Thicknessers out there..
Could u give me a heads up on a great set of wood chisels to buy so I'm not wasting time buying a loada crap???
BTW I loved the video of the smaller wall cabinet u built with the bookend design on the door.. It was a stunning piece mate..
I also love the contrast u managed to show between the 2 woods used in this piece too Morgan..
Cherry goes so well with the Walnut on this project. I loved seeing the extra details u put into the edges of the wood too.
One more question if it's not too cheeky on my part bro...?? What was that router bit called that u used to get that nice touch on the edges of the cherry panels?? I know u can sometimes get a similar design with the table saw but the way u did that was lovely jubley..
Thanks for a brilliantly informative video. Most ppl don't bother to let us see their techniques so much but u allow us a peak in.. I love that about the videos u make bro and I hope they continue in this form..Keep up the great work and best of luck in the future and I'm hoping ur channel grows much bigger so maybe u will be able to do some online woodworking courses down the road a piece Morgan .. Salute to u from IRELAND..
Apologies for the very long comment too btw.. LMAO It keeps happening to me that I can't stop typing ... EVEN NOW! Again Apologies bro
All I can say about powermatic is that the mortiser is pretty good, other than that I don't have any experiences with their other machines so I can't honestly recommend them. It's important to keep in mind that almost all machinery/tools are made in Asian but certain companies like Powermatic and Sawstop require a much higher standard from those factories, compared to the generic brand. I don't know what you have in Ireland, but in Canada we have brands like King Canada or Craftex that are your typical cheap import machines, stuff like that you want to avoid wherever possible.
For setting up your shop, just focus on buying tools/machines when you need them, if you need to thickness wood get a planer, if you need to drill lots of holes get a drill press, etc. It's important to not over buy at the beginning because you'll end up with more machines than you know what to do with and as you advance with woodworking you'll learn what features/specs are the most important to you. If you watch my recent series on building the bed frame, I went over some of the ways you can mill lumber without all the fancy machinery.
For chisels, again I don't know what brands you have access to but I have a set of Veritas PMV-11 from Lee Valley and I love them, they came perfectly flat and ready to use, but there are also brands like Narex (also available at Lee Valley) that are slightly cheaper and will take some initial work to flatten but I've heard they hold a good edge.
The bit I used was a Cove Raised Panel Bit from Lee Valley, you can find a few different styles of this bit for a more decorative touch, I like the cove because it's a simpler transition visually.
Hope that helps and good luck getting your shop setup!
Question, after edge jointing, why did you rip on the bandsaw? To have a smaller kerf waste?
That first pass you'll see on the jointer is meant to get the edge straight to reference against the bandsaw fence. Then I use the bandsaw to cut all my stock to rough width, then I go through the normal milling process of jointing, planning and cutting to final width on the table saw. I like to use the bandsaw for my rough cutting because my stock doesn't have to be perfectly flat, like it does for cutting on the table saw.
@@morganhurst_redridge i really like your work. I love traditional joinery, i despise pocket holes. I also like how you record the amount of time per project, puts it in perspective.
What are the thicknesses of your panels and stile/rails?
Both are about 3/4" thick with a 1/4" groove on the rails & stiles. I used a raised panel bit on the panels to bring them down to a 1/4" on the edges. I did it this way so that the overall face of the trunk is flat inside and out while still having some visual detail.
@@morganhurst_redridge thank you! Do you have detailed plans available?
Can you post a link for those hinges? Those are awesome!

@@morganhurst_redridge th aka man. Horton Brass, I’m from CT they are pretty popular here 🤣. Got a quote from them last month for two cupboard latches and two catches, $450 in unlaquered brass!
Love the video but the background music is way too loud. The best videos don’t have it at all and your content is so brilliant, it would be nice to hear just your voice and the shop sounds, in my opinion. It would also help the harder of hearing folk to focus on your voice. Thanks for great videos 👍👏
I do apologize for that, it's an issue with the way that youtube compresses the audio. I've been trying to figure out how to avoid this issue and on my newer videos I make sure to check them after upload in case I messed up on the something. I also am trying to do more video with just shop sounds now, because I agree with you, it's nice to hard some of the different machines and tools.
Thank you for your comment, I really do appreciate it!
Great work, just too much commentary for my taste.
Thanks
Well done.
Thanks!
