This Desk was commissioned by me as a gift for my mother. It was a long time in coming but well worth the wait. The piece is unbelievably well maid and we are extremely pleased with it. My compliments to Matt. John Cantlin PS - Thanks for making this video!
@@florentinobautista8511 precise expensive? If you count time needed X whatever amount per hour plus materials. Lets just say it takes 80h to make something, times just 10$ per hour, it's already 800$ with no material cost. And 10$ is dirt cheap, sure not what you pay for such craftsmanship. So is it expensive or is it just fair price? For me it is fair price. Now, consider machine made parts, just glued and polished a little with the same price tag. Do you consider that expensive? I do and i refuse to pay it. Sure, machines and sharp blades for them etc. cost moeny too but you can produce way more in shorter time so this should spread out nicely in terms of turnover. So despite Jacobs answer that it was expensive, i don't think so. I think it was fairly priced. Hope this helps you look at the prices in a better way.
@@evilrose412 cabinet makers also use machines! I doubt every single stage is done by hand with resawing done by machine saws, planer/thicknesses are used, dimensioning done by table saws etc. Granted the joints etc are hand cut and the final finishing, but a lot of time is saved by machines even with this company I'm sure. That said, it's obvious this furniture would be expensive compared to the mass produced MDF/chipboard variety and whether you consider the price fair of not, this is only one piece. What do you put in the rest of the house? If you can afford hand built furniture in every room then clearly the buyer is a man of means and being so, would want to express that in his belongings. So in that regard you could argue any price is fair. Any price IS fair if you feel you have recieved value for money.
When I was a young man I worked in a butcher shop. The owner always told me that he was a meat cutter and that I was a butcher. Well Sir, You are a woodworker and I am a butcher! Thanks for the vids and as said below I could watch them all day.
As an old fella who's trying his hand at dovetails, my hat goes off to you sir. Your skill level is simply amazing. I'm so happy to see that you have kept the old skills alive and well. Thank you and I can only hope you pass these skills on to the younger generation.
The music was awesome! The craftsmanship...SUPERB! Excellent choice and selection of wood. "Cherry", in fact. Thank you for sharing your gift with us..it is indeed a gift to watch your work.
Most talented master woodworker alive today. If there is a more talented craftsman, I’d love to see their work. But I don’t think you’ll find anyone better than this guy. Unreal talent.
this may sound odd, but I can almost feel the love for the wood this man is working on... and as Joe basementwoodworking said, I could watch hours of this... this is the sign of a master craftsman....working his trade without running off at the mouth....
You are the best furniture maker I have ever seen in my life. But I have not seen your furniture anywhere. Must be because I'm poor. But boy I would love for you to build me a beautiful gun cabinet one day. If I ever get rich I will do so. Good Lord willing.
You Sir, are a true craftsman. I've been working with wood off and on for about four decades, but after viewing a couple of your videos I am convinced I am not worthy of the reference, "Woodworker" You do beautiful work and like many others, I appreciate your taking the time to record/post your videos.
Love watching you make your dovetails, they fit so well. The shells are very graceful and the work is clean and crisp. These are the hallmarks of a true craftsman. Very well done sir! Steve K
Watching your movies is already part of my breakfast, once for a moment while I go to my work with wood. What you do is beautiful and very accurate. If something makes us transgress ourselves as people, it's definitely the kind of meditation I see in your work. Thanks for this.
All i can say. Is you are the best furniture maker in the world. Keep up what you are doing. This is the way all furniture should be made. Yeah it cost more. But my god look at the quality.
Very nice! What a valuable asset you are, I hope you are passing your trade on to our young people today, may it never be lost! BEA-U-TI-FUL!!! Thanks so much for sharing I crave for more!
Amazing! Beautiful craftsmanship and the obvious pride and care you take with your work is there for all to see. I wonder how many future generations will appreciate your work? And there’s not many craftsmen we can ask that question about their work. My wife has an early 19th century drop leaf desk and I can yours lasting at least as long.
It is always a pleasure as well as a learning experience watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. Your style and respect for the wood and your craft are inspiring. Thank you Jack
It is very beautiful. You are a true master in the wood. I am happy to have seen a job like yours. Seriously , it's beautiful . That expertise has touched my heart... Great... no! Perfect work.
Absolutely beautiful !! When I'm checking my favorites I always look for a new comment for Doucette and Wolfe and then I get excited wondering what the next build is. I started woodworking too late in life I"m afraid, but I love going out in my garage and making a complete mess of some perfectly good wood. I'm so envious of your talent, your shop and combined with Antoines incredible talent as well, it makes for the best 15 minutes of my life every time you grace us with another upload. Thank you !
Ciao,dirti bravo e dirti poco,la tua credo sia un arte non un lavoro ,sono apassionatissimo di falegnameria ma un video così bello non l'avevo mai visto ,i miei complimenti
I would only dream for skill like this. Even I'm wood worker, but this is so fine work that could be so hard for me to reach that level .. thanks for sharing the video.
The tool (big square plane) that you are using to plane the final surfaces of the dovetails and other parts, can you tell me what it is and brand? It looks like a great tool. Thanks again for this wonderful video.
Hi, I'm intrigued by the large square block(?) plane. In 50 years of wood working have never seen one like it. What is it called and are they available?
Miraculous. But that jointer... Some odd choices...use a vertical mortiser, but an "old woman's tooth" hand router for hinges. And is that a scratch scraper (or whatever those things are called) doing edge forming of the dividers? Beautiful, gorgeous, crisp shell carving. 100% museum quality except that the real 18th c. cabinet makers cut many more corners, left rough anything that didn't show, weren't so meticulous. You're so good at emulating machine made...too good. Sotheby's used to have a restoration workshop on the upper east side over by FDR drive. Run by John Stair. I worked there briefly in the early 80's. You have completely mastered the whole RISD thing. To develop further you need to study someplace like that, where *real* Chippendale, not "reproductions," regularly cycles through. Eye opening. Good luck.

Good choice. May I ask ,was it expensive?
@@florentinobautista8511 no you may not ask that. Yes it was expensive.

Wow, now I know why furnitures are expensive because it was made with love. God bless you👍😇
I guess he was one of the last woodworkers that when they sayed their furnitures are hand made, they really meant that
Wow, this is just so good. What an absolutely beautiful finished piece.
I think you left out that the tree has the ability to warp with a large width. Your work is admirable !
Absolutely amazing :). Your videos are incredible. I'd love to see the finishing process sometime. Keep sharing :)
your skills are far superior, than any videos of youtube.
you star .your hard earned competence and tenacity are outstanding .
thank you
I could only hope to ever produce something so beautiful! Nice work.

WOW that is beautiful!
Love the low angle jack plane. I've been contemplating acquiring one, I typically use a 4 1/2 smoothing but you have my interested piqued.
Brandon M Sweet It's an amazing plane. I have the rabbeting block plane and the low angle. They're probably my most used tools.
The tool (big square plane) that you are using to plane the final surfaces of the dovetails and other parts, can you tell me what it is and brand? It looks like a great tool. Thanks again for this wonderful video.
Awesome work!!!!
Thank you, you just make my Friday evening )
Denis Skorski Thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Superb job....
I can´t believe my eyes ! This craftsman must be a robot.
Is this in any way a family business? Where did you learn your art? Truly inspiring and motivating!
Hi, I'm intrigued by the large square block(?) plane. In 50 years of wood working have never seen one like it. What is it called and are they available?
Superb !
Excellent work !!. That good edge have those tools, remove the wood as if it were butter. Sorry if my English is not good. Greetings from Argentina

amazing skills!!!! I am speechless
realy fantastic work
Sir, what type of plane is the one that looks like a dealers shoe?
Very very nice
