In this eye-opening episode, join me, Cody, aka Wranglerstar, as I face the music and own up to a massive blunder in my recent project - the Birch Bark Lockers. While constructing these rustic beauties, I made a critical error: installing the piano hinges incorrectly. My eagle-eyed subscribers didn't hesitate to call me out on it, and now, it's time for some serious damage control.
But fear not! Instead of wallowing in defeat, I've decided to turn this setback into an opportunity for innovation. Watch as I brainstorm and implement a brilliant fix to reinforce the locker bench, utilizing the very same piano hinges that caused the initial problem. It's a testament to resilience, problem-solving, and the unwavering support of the Wranglerstar community.
Join me on this journey of redemption as I transform a colossal mistake into a triumph of craftsmanship. Don't miss out on the valuable lessons learned and the satisfaction of seeing a project rise from the ashes. Tune in now and witness Wranglerstar's resilience in action!

When I seen the thumbnail my first thought was a question I was worried about a few days ago. As a master plumber who owns his own business and has been doing it for 22 years, I was wondering why there was no plumbing in the slab for the cozy cabin project. Still one of my thoughts when I see you upload. No plumbing in the cabin doesn't make sense bc I seen you ran water for it. Maybe you didn't film it or maybe I missed it but it has worried me since the last cabin video. Hope all is well, enjoy your videos. From an East Tennessee Farmer- I wish the best for everything.
For the finish on something like that it should be kept real light colored so maybe just a clear poly. If you stain it or use an oil finish of some sort it will darken a bit and that will make each area darker. Ideally just want it very waterproof and bright.
I think you should leave it unfinished. It is inside and really doesn't need anything further.
The Man Cave
for added strength for supporting more weight, you can put a vertical support under the back of each of those styles, transferring the weight to the floor, rather than to the glue and pin-nails.
Just something I noticed: before you removed the shelves, you could have marked where they were. Then when you put them back you wouldn't need to re-level them, doing work you've already done.
Love how your fans help with solutions to such a nice finished product! Love to see your creations to your specific needs. This is so stimulating. Inspiring to do more for my specific creations.
Pocket holes are a cabinet makers friend (construction grade cabinets)
Not sure if this was sarcasm
@@RatyTang it isn’t.
There are two holes on the Kreg jig so you can mount it once and drill two holes for a face frame without having to move it.

Looking forward to receiving my shirt. I've only ever subscribed to, and bought branded merch from 2 channels. Yours (I'm pretty sure I've been a member since day one), and the Taofledermaus channel because it helped my Dad (Danny). Glad you're sticking with American made and small business products. God bless you Cody, keep it up.
R.i.p. Danny! Sorry for your loss. It was a big shock when he passed. I've not been effected by the loss of a youtuber like i was with Danny.
@@ryangriffith1500 I'm just glad I can go back and watch his videos when I miss hearing his voice. Thank you for the kind words.
Awesome! Thank you!
My vote for a finish on the new cabinets would be a light stain or even just a clearcoat so you can enjoy the edges of that Baltic birch plywood.
Needs memory foam padding. It will hide the hinges. ; )
Maybe just a clear poly? I actually like the look of baltic birch, also the end grain part.
Very insightful monologue at the end, Cody! Thank you!
Your Blood, Sweat, and Tears are valued and appreciated, Cody. The community you've brought together around the channel has become an amazing force for good in the world and something to be proud of. Thank you for sharing and putting in the effort for the quality content.
I'm looking forward to a trip to meet up with Overton and Evan Roach later this month for a Montana ride; maybe reach out to him to see if you can join us?
Those support strips are called cleats. That was an elegant solution.
Pocket screws are almost an absolute necessity for projects like your lockers.
Good advice and a good solution for the seat “weak point “
Anyone who has tried to forcibly disassemble a piano hinge knows it’s pretty dang strong.
From L to W in 6 sticks.
Nice work Cody.
Let's go ProHo.
Thinking this would work really well in a race trailer as well.
If you like the raw look of the birch plywood, satin water based polyurethane would be a good choice. Recommend thinning the last coat 50/50 with water for an even finish.
I’ve also had really good results spraying it thinned out (HVLP).
Hell yeah!! Always delivers fun content
I saw the piano hinges and thought nothing of it. They have always been either end or stap mount style. I agree the seats are a bit weak, I was thinking that for another thing I would do to strengthen things.
I think “cleat” is probably the word you’re looking for.
+1 for the Kreg pocket jig; one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Looking great Cody! Some power outlets in each bay would be great for charging your devices that you need for your bike
Odies oil finish is generally what I use for most projects these days or Osmo oils are good durable finish
Great job on your cabinets. I would be proud to have them in my shop. I am proud of you and all your work. I can see your effort to make quality content for us. We appreciate you and your family.
Use the total boat halcyon! Spray 3 coats, incredibly durable and will look sharp
Cody,
What a great project. And yes, it shows in your work that you immerse yourself. The segment on the Craig Jig has sold me. So thank you for all you do. I look forward to watching your channel.
I saw that and said nothing, because I'm a carpenter and I know you're not, one little tip if you ever really need to screw into the edge of ply, predrill a hole and dip your screws in glue, only if you really need to.
Great tip
The fix is in!! Love your humility!!
I am about your age and have recently found you here. I really enjoy the videos. I did my senior paper on Hemingway, so I immediately got the reference...
I encourage you to fix the hinge before finishing. It's worth the effort. You'll be much happier with it, strength isn't an issue, and it won't snag on your clothing, etc.
It's the PROHO thing to do.
It's fixed,
@@wranglerstarthe piano hinge is showing
Easy there Timmy. Back to the basement with ya.
A true ProHo shouldn’t skimp. Don’t you want the fizz? If you’re worried about screwing into the end grain the replace those ply boards with solid wood.
I believe Hemmingway touched on the meaning of that quote. "Bleeding means revealing what others cannot see, what they have never seen, and what you might be afraid to see. You must not be afraid to be vulnerable."
Izzy Swan finish is my go to. By volume - 30% spar urethane and 70% teak oil, let it sit for 15 minutes and wipe off extra. It darkens the wood a little bit, but is long lasting and pretty tough. It penetrates into to the wood and is very durable.
Always love a good build video. Thankyou sir
I could listen to you talk all day man. Thank you for what you do.
I have built many cabinets with Kreg screws, even had 1 fall out of the back of my truck on the way to install at clients home, screws held, wood broke.
You call that a massive blunder? You should come here and work with me on a project. I'll show you a blunder.
Same. He could tour the country the rest of his life an barely see a fraction of ProHo blunders.......but iy be some fun content.😂
I grew up in a house where a elementary school principal added an addition. Unknown to us until a fatefully cold Thanksgiving, he framed the fireplace box with lumber which was faced with bricks.
After several hours of a roaring fire, smoke started pouring out around the mantle. My Dad bashed holes in the fireplace with a sledgehammer while I was in charge of spraying water in the holes. 😂
If it's any consolation, the support issue would be the same if you had screwed the hinges into the end grain.
I’ve made these before and I still place those seat supports regardless of hinge placement. So no big deal there! You may want some sort of screen to cover that vent space to keep the mice out.
Turn the whole thing upside down - it'll work then!
Im a custom cabinet builder and do these all the time. You don't need support on the sides. Only on the back (3/4 x 3 x L) glued and screwed to the underside of the top extending 3/4 into the lid section.
Great video as always, thanks for sharing such great content.
Cody, this is why you’re one of the best homesteader channels on this platform. Your humility to admit when you’re “wrong”, provide context for why you did what you did and how you go about fixing it, is second to none. This is true pROhO. I’m 30, and am looking to be moving out of Denver (liberal hell hole) and the last 10 years of watching your channel has set me up for success. Keep on keepin on! #PrOhO #Homestead #Wranglerstar
I'm not lockstep with your worldview but your authenticity and artistry are superb. Love the Hemingway metaphor and the vulnerability of your expression.
The way you make videos is perfect. The sounds, the edits the commentary. Its perfect
Thank you, Logan,
With the pocket screw kit. If you use a longer drill bit you can use dowls and glue for expose joints to add accent.
Those pieces used to support the lids are called ‘cleats.’
It isn't going down a mine shaft with a flashlight. It's still work, though. And work is work.
I concur with the load bearing observations. I used to make products like this and priority one was always point loading to support human weight; likewise if the purpose was to support significant weight like a large CRT television. I would not rely on end grain screws, even though that would be modestly stronger.
No one believes you don’t work and put in everything. You could literally hire a camera crew that would have a full time job! You do it all. Come up with the content (what you are into is always the best), do the project, film the project, edit the video, publish the video, and finally deal with the haters!
Love the Hemingway comments. You should take Mrs W and go see Hemingway's house in Key West. It is fascinating the history there. It's a museum now.
Add a few air holes in seat boxes? Finish the unit with BLO. Thanks for another great video.
Yeah i installed the piano hinge backwards on the corner cupboard. Great cheap and versatile hinge.
Installing into endgrain. Yuck. No. But if it was intended to be a bench seat it was certainly an oversight. I enjoy the process.
I would get new material for the lids and install the hinges the other way because you would have a cleaner interior cabinet and exterior look and no chance for the lids to collapse with hinges screwed into end grain . Keep the old material for a different project .
Great video Cody and awesome talk at the end. I think a good light BLO finish will complement the Doug fir on the wall. Let it dry before you put your nice equipment up there to prevent oil rubbing off.
BLO, I hadn't considered this, great idea,
I think your strengthening improvement there is a very good choice, that will hold up well. I can see people standing on those seats to look up on the top shelf if they are not as tall as you are and with your new addition they will be able to do this. I do think though that you need more ventilation in the cubbies than what you have. Very little air will get up through that gap due to its location. You need to allow air to pass through all the cubbies and out the other side. So I would have a vent on each end of the unit that passes through from one cubby to the next and out the far side. But that is always something you can add later if you find you need it. Great work and as for the finish I'm undecided on more USFS green or good old fashioned linseed oil. Leaning towards the paint as it will be easier to wipe down when needed.
More than once, I've seen this man admit when he's wrong. Having the ability to admits ones wrongs or apologize for mishaps is a characteristic thats a must for me to trust a man or woman... Accountability, self-awareness, humility, and being open-minded are as important as they are rare in people today.
A little tip with the pocket holes after you drill the hole running the drill back through one more time and you’ll get cleaner holes.
Looks good, very satisfying wood working in a cabinetry form. As far as the finish goes, I would stay away from any polyurethane, 2 in one type stains. Going the wipe on stain, then lacquer coat is a lot of work. I think I would get a HVLP sprayer and just do a lacquer coat, sand with 320 grit, then a second coat, and call it done.
My hat is off to you. Not too many people will put themselves out there like you do. Keep showing it all, the good and the bad.
As a former cabinet maker and furniture factory worker for strength you made the right choice you could go into end grain if you pre drill and use longer screws. Back in the day most kitchen cabinets were made of plywood. Nice project!
I would like to recommend "The Creative Act: A Way of Being" by Rick Rubin in response to your thoughtful take on putting work out into the world. You've contributed a lot to my life; and while I'm sure I criticize you on my own at times, the work you put out continues to add value - so obviously keep it up and thank you for sharing the results of your labor with us. It's a creative and generous act.
I wish some of the merch that I sold by creators were in tall sizes as well. And also I agree with your sentiment about the Kreg jig, excellent design.
Nice lockers and now with the supports you could do away with the piano hinge just drill a finger lift hole in the seat and you could then just fill and patch the screw holes from the piano hinge if you wanted a even cleaner look. If you want you could put a small ledger across the back. And I also have a track saw and I built a carry box for the track and parts I can send you pictures of it if you want Cody.
if you do the hinge hidden the screws would be in sheer, thats why its stronger almost wouldnt need to add support
Cody that would be called a cleat
Looks great! How about a walnut finish for contrast against the wall?
What are your opinions on the m12 batteries. I used them while working at a window and patio door factory, and my experience is they aren't as durable as the m18. Now, granted, all of the impacts and drills we used were beat to death on a daily basis. But i started to notice that after a while, the batteries started to malfunction. Usually, it ends up with the lights flashing and having to take out and put back in. That usually solved the problems along with the classic mag slap on the bottom of the battery. Be cautious of the contacts on the inside of the battery , what would end up happening was the metal pins that go into the contacts would bend or break off after continued use. God bless you and your family.
Yeah, I have a Kreg pocket hole jig that is so old it's made from Aluminium LOL, they rock!
Oh, and it's a Robertson, not square drive!
Love your dry and blunt humor. Stay in it!
Thanks! Will do!
Worried about screwing into end grain but builds the while thing with pocket screws lol if you don't want to see screws on the outside add end panels or biscuit it together, pocket screws are not very strong.
That little brad gun sounds like an old cash register without the ring.
As a carpenter, I never like piano hinges. They always seem to rust. I live in the northeast where it is very humid in the summer.
I like the idea of a shellac, that way you can touch it up later if you want.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and work with us.
Ana White has a ton of kreg projects and free plans online. Making assembly simpler for the common homeowner is a great thing.

I think I would’ve done the same with the hinges… wouldn’t the screw likely split the plies, and only be supported by glue?
Good to see someone using Patagucci for actual activity
1/4” round over on all the edges will go a long way. Prevents splinters and snagging on gear, and resists damage. Gives a professional look took.
We're here for you, sir. We're real though expressing digitally back to you.
And as father of more than a couple great young men and women, let me tell you this:
I've had a lot of adventures, taught many men and served the public in extraordinary ways. The resume is large. But you must know the profound impact and value you have on many young men. It's obvious and of immense value. Certainly you know this. So, as a digital reminder, know that you are a brave piper leading not rats to destruction but men to greatness. That should not be extraordinary in a great society; it ought to be common. But it is stellar because you pipe courageously when so few do in this collapsing culture. From all of us, a sincere thank you.
May want to put some plastic under the base to separate from moisture from the concrete
great video. keep these up.
Cody, you are very passionate about what you do, and it brings you joy. Dont worry so much about what others think. Take the criticism as learning but not attach the emotion.
Thanks for the follow-up video on a less than ideal project. Kudos.

I’ll tell the boys,
Nice fix. I am new to woodworking and carpentry. So many different ways to create and complete a project. Thanks WStar.
The layers of ply will split in no time on the end grain. At the mill shop if we wanted to put hinges on ply we would do a glue up with solid wood stock on the end that called for hinges and connect to that. It works well. You can use biscuits, a spline or tongue and groove for more glue up surface area. Your solution with the cleats is perfect. I would have beveled/chamfered the bottom of them that way there wouldn't be a 90 degree angle to catch things. There are two kinds of critics, the one who would never move beyond the fear to do something yet feel compelled to tell others what they've done wrong backed up with no experience. Then there are the critics who have words of wisdom gained by experience whos motivation is lifting others up. Love your channel and content!
It’s always easy to see others mistakes but not quite as easy to see our own mistakes.
What is the strongest wood glue???
God!, your wig looks amazing!
Yes, doesn't it,
I think your hinge work-around is better than shooting screws into end grain.
I bought the Kreg kit after you used one a few years ago. I use it a lot now. - Those gear lockers are awesome, definitely feel the fizz.
Great to hear!
You best described why I've never posted a single intimate thing, as well as why I appreciate you a lot Cody. God bless you and your family. You're a light in the dark night. For some of us you are the reason us millennials differentiate between boomers and X'ers.
Birch.... how dare you!
Be careful what you ask for. I needed to use a table saw to rip some pressure treated 2x4s into trimming to put on two different homes above the brick work where it bumps up to the siding. A friend whom was a old retired cabinetmaker gave me 288 lb old school non folding Craftsman table saw. Grandma said if some one gives you something you take it even if you do not want it because they my give you something you want later.
