Billy, dude, I watch a lot of woodworking videos…and I mean a lot. But you have to be one of the best woodworkers I’ve seen. Always challenging yourself, but at the same time producing beautiful items in a safe way.
Definitely a beautiful piece. I was thinking when you cut out the form you used the wrong piece. Normally you use the inside form to bend your veneers over it to make your lamination. You would put some holes in the form around the perimeter to clamp the veneers. But I digress, you made it work how you did and it came out exceptional. Love walnut so it was a treat to see the final piece.
Really cool project and loved seeing how you did it! Also, why is it so satisfying watching you turn the piece to clean up the edge of the lamination on the table saw?
@@NewtonMakes but if it was half as satisfying to watch as it was to do, I'd be finding excuses to add things like to project to be able to do the cut. Lol
Hey there, I’m not sure if you’ll see my comment but this video was super helpful 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I just have a small question is it possible to glue mango wood together (make it thicker) just like what you did to the mdf and then try to cut strips to make it bend? Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
Wow! Beeeautiful! Enjoyed the problem solving and your step by step descriptions. I was left with one question (well...yeah, I did have more). How do you use a French cleat and get it to fit flush to a wall? I expected it to be off the wall by the width of the material. Thank you.
I have my back panel recessed about 1/2"; the back panel isn't flush with the back edge of the cabinet. I milled the cleat board to that same thickness.
That turned out awesome, the figured Maple drawers really pop. I did want to ask about your router bit choice. I just recently got back into woodworking and it seems like the spiral upcut/downcut bits are all the rage, though a single bit can cost as much as some bit sets. I noticed you were using the standard straight bit, is there a reason you choose to use the straight bit? I'm trying to decide if it worth sinking the money into a set of spiral bits.
Straight bits are great. Spiral bits will typically get you a cleaner cut and allow you to plunge into the wood. But as you said, they can be pricey. I used a straight bit because it was the right size for my shelf. If I had a spiral that size I would have used it.
That looks so cool! I don't have a table saw (yet! I'm saving up for one) so I can't rip thin strips but I'm thinking I could probably do some bent lamination experiments using 1/ 16" constructional veneers - do you think that'd work?
Also, I found your channel recently and I've been loving your content! I've mainlined a ton of your videos, now I'm watching some of my favourites (like this one!) over again - I'll try and remember to comment to let youtube know how I feel :D
Awesome to hear that you're liking the videos! Hopefully you'll dig this week's. 1/16 veneer should work great. That's basically what I made. 1/8 was too thick to bend to the shape I wanted so I had to go thinner.
What do you use to cut the brass dowels flush to the box? Saw another video of yours where it looked like you used nails with the head cut off and later cut them flush.
Really beautiful end result and I truly like that you are taking us on your "design as you build" journey. For additional challenge you should do inlayed French cleat instead of that "savage" screw on solution 😛.
Okay, so I watched the entire video and im still perplexed…. I feel like there has to be a way to skip the “rig” and just create the arch. Am I wrong? Your end grain is showing on the final piece so by simply using layered plywood the end result would maybe be similar but save you a ton of time and effort?! I don’t know. Just a thought.

Too kind. I really try to push myself. This one was a fun build.
That is absolutely gorgeous! I have always been curious on how you could bend wood like that. Super impressive man, well done!
I bend wood with pure will power and awesomeness. And lots of clamps.
Looks fantastic. The figured walnut and brass is a beautiful combination.
I'm so glad I used the brass. Complete on the fly decision.
That turned out AWESOME!!! It's so unique and the walnut/brass combination looks fantastic!
That's brass turned out beautifully!
Wow! That’s a show stopper for sure!
Beautiful piece
Sparkly beautiful. Wow.
Turned out spectacular
Thanks!
WOW is what comes to mind!!! Awesome build.
That is a beautiful cabinet, Billy. Thanks for sharing this cabinet video with us.
That is absolutely beautiful, great choice of timber and those brass handles really finish it off
WOW , that is awesome . Thanks for sharing .
Man that turned out awesome brother nicely done, that figured walnut was definitely a great choice with the brass, great video too of the process
That walnut is bonkers!
Gorgeous. Great work, man!
Thanks! I'm thrilled with how it turned out.

that is so great, been wanting to do something with a curve and that is a beautiful project.
Thank you!
Really nice cabinet, Billy. I like your math figuring out how many laminations to make the arch (lol). Take care.
Bill
I rounded up! Haha
top job + excellent presenting style and vid production 👊🙏
That turned out really nice 👍 I believe I’m gonna give it a try
Brilliant as always man. Love your videos
Thanks!
Very beautiful! Put some doors on it and it would make for an awesome jewelry box as well.
That thing is beautiful man I love it
This is so beautiful!!!
Simply Amaziing project - love it.
Thanks!
Amazing work!!!

I know, right? Pretty weird cut.

Чудовий проєкт! Дякую. 👍
Great project and great video!
Very nice indeed.. Well done!!
Looks amazing! Keep up the good work. Extremely impressive
Beautiful job! I wonder what it would look like if the shelves were a tiny bit shorter so you could didn’t see the dado cuts from the front.
Very nice 👍
Nice work!
Thank you!
Stunning!
Wowowowow! Beautiful!
Beautiful
Billy: That looks AMAZING! I’d love to build something like that but I don’t have a workshop or clue on how to start putting one together.
Hopefully we have some sense of a clue after watching the video 🤣🤣
Thas purdee awesum dood!
great video and well done!

Dude you’re Fn awesome!! 🤘🏼
how come you didn't just make the shape on a single panel and then use the router to follow the edge of the previous one to cut the next piece?
Wow! Beeeautiful! Enjoyed the problem solving and your step by step descriptions. I was left with one question (well...yeah, I did have more). How do you use a French cleat and get it to fit flush to a wall? I expected it to be off the wall by the width of the material.

I have my back panel recessed about 1/2"; the back panel isn't flush with the back edge of the cabinet. I milled the cleat board to that same thickness.
That maneuver on the tablesaw sketched me out so bad, I don't think I'd ever trust myself to do it lol
It's a tough cut for sure.

I was probably using aluminum dowels in that video. Check out my sharpening station video from a few weeks ago. I show how I cut them. Super easy.
Really beautiful end result and I truly like that you are taking us on your "design as you build" journey. For additional challenge you should do inlayed French cleat instead of that "savage" screw on solution 😛.
Hello great work some information about your circle cutting jig please !
It's a milescraft jig. I'll try to put a link in the description.
Needs more walnut 😎
ALWAYS
❤️👏👍

yeah cool but i dont have $20,000 of sawing equipment at home

Thanks for following along and providing so much support.
Too much work while you could’ve just made it hallow like the big box stores
You lost me at 500+ cuts…
