      @@AdamKirbyMusic I dont think that is the case. He stated on more than one occasion that he loved the interaction and intimacy from the smaller audience in the daily videos. My guess is that a bathroom renovation isn't really video worthy to his channel, so he had just been working on that without filming. 🤷‍♂️

    I have to say, when you were test fitting the pieces, I was thinking, " You know, if the ends were chamfered, it would give it an Arts and Crafts 'look'...". Lo and behold, what do you do...... I was laughing out loud 😂😂😂!!! Cool frame just as is, simple!

      The bit has a little bearing on the dingus end that rides against the flat surface of the board, preventing the bit going farther into the material.

    • @Zack-xz1ph
      @Zack-xz1ph 3 года назад +1

      unless it's sliding and has a depth stop built in, it really isn't feasable to do half laps with a miter saw. if you don't have one, pick up a circular saw, used or new can be pretty cheap

    • @robertbeisert3315
      @robertbeisert3315 3 года назад +2

      I'd get a cheap router with a straight bit. Using a simple jig to frame your cut area, you can get excellent results.
      Personally, I think a fixed-base router is a must. Depending on your creativity with jigs and bits, you can do a surprising amount of things.

  • @jeffreystewart6571
    @jeffreystewart6571 3 года назад

    Smoother, rounded edges are more suited for bulk handling. When selecting multiple 2x4s from the lumber yard, the slightly rounded edges make it easier to pull individual pieces from the stack. Boards with rounded edges are also easier to slide into the back of a truck.

  • @leiwa100

  • @jamestrowbridge
    @jamestrowbridge 3 года назад

    Steve, can you talk about wood movement with this project? I'm never sure when I should be concerned about wood movement or not. Usually with half lap/rabbit type joints there is nothing on the other end so movement is less concerning, but this is has material on the other side. Is it not a concern because it's such a small piece and won't expand much? Also, is movement more of a concern in a sometimes humid environment, like a bathroom?
