RUSTIC OAK NIGHTSTAND

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2024
  • Reclaimed old growth white oak primary and tulip poplar secondary wood went together using only traditional joinery to build this nightstand. No glue, nails, screws or clamps are needed just a few well placed wedges and an understanding of wood movement.
    A bit of raw linseed oil thinned down in citrus solvent really brings out the color and grain of this great old wood.
    The tight grained, slow grown old growth wood is a true pleasure to work with, much better than the stuff generally available today.

    The patched trousers reminded me of a craftsman I worked with in a New England shop, who had three kids --- all got college scholarships. Came to work same time every day, walked home for lunch, boiled potatoes, wore patched clothes. He and his wife were Mormons from South Korea, and anytime anyone did anything right, he'd say, "Verry Goood ______________!" And it was a good group of people for 4 years.
    Verry Gooood, Mr. & Ms. Chickadee!

    Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! After about 30 videos from Mr. Chickadee I've watched, at 14:05, he slips and makes a mistake. He leaves his error in the video.......... shows how humble and down-to-earth he is!!! Thanks for another GREAT video. Your chisels and planes are so sharp, can't believe how well they shape wood.

    Nice piece. I really appreciate your videos. While watching this nightstand being made I was looking at a Woodworkers Supply catalog in the section showing all the glues they sell. During my woodworking career gluing and screwing was the preferred technique in our "quick and dirty" scheme of making cabinets. Sometimes we got to use dados or Lamello biscuits on the higher grades of cabinets. Today I mainly use epoxy on the knife handles I make. I did use your pinning technique using an offset hole and a stainless steel pin to attach a stabilized mango handle on a Japanese gyuto blade. It really cammed the blade into the handle and makes for a monolithic knife after the epoxy sets. I like your use of the nail stained oak top.

    I almost had a heart attack when you tapped the wedge into the dovetail joint but as always it turned out wonderfully and your skill is always apparent. One of the best channels on RUclips in my opinion.

  • @fonhollohan2908

    Just throw that old board in the garbage. What? hold my beer. Love the Idea of using the old barn boards with this Piece looks like it was build years ago instead of recently. plus it gives it character. One of my favorite pieces Josh. Looks great. The dove tails locking the piece together with the light pine wedges causes the contrast to look amazing.

    I've never seen that done with dovetails before, that's a very cool idea to make the joint without glue. Nice touch with leaving the scrub plane marks on the outside of the nightstand.

    Love the use of wedges. I expected the end tail of your drawer sides to split with the wedges but they seemed to hold. Nice details too. Cat supervision is always important.

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  7 лет назад +7

      Thanks, its very important the joints are very tight at the bottom of both the dovetail and the wedged tenons on the top, this squeezes the wood together and prevents splitting

  • @TermiteUSA
    @TermiteUSA 6 лет назад

    Mr Chic, you work is excellent of course. Your drawer pulls have the same profile on the inside as 'trunnels' used in planking a wooden ship. Look for a 19th century schooner recently extracted from a remote beach in New Zealand named Daring. She went aground in 1866 and hull and framing is remarkably well preserved. As they were just starting to get her into a preservation area where she can be kept under spray one of the crew took a picture of a particular plank. The joint is solid after all those years.

    Absolutely LOVE IT!!! You are the man Mr. Chickadee. I love the devotion to hand tools, I love the simplicity, the simplicity and leaving a lot of the tool marks is what gives it so much charm and beauty! Most of us wood workers get too caught up in getting perfect surfaces, but the tool marks give it way more character. Let people who see it know it was worked by someones hands rather than just machines. But I was perplexed to see you leave those pencil marks and finished over top of them. I would have at least sanded those away!!! haha.

    Absolutely beautiful, as always. Thank you for leaving in the "saw slip". It makes me feel a little better that if a master like you can have a boo-boo in his woodworking, I am not so bad when it happens to me too. I absolutely love the wedged dovetails, no need for glue with any of your joinery on this magnificent piece of furniture.
    Oh, and I love that the ends match the style of your bookcase a few videos back.

    Another great piece of wonderful craftsmanship and beautiful furniture that will last a century! Put a little saw cut in the other three corners of the drawer face and it will look like part of the design (that's what I do - haha). I also put my finish on heavy and wipe with a cloth to smooth out the drips.
    Might you have the time, in a future video, to slip in how you sharpen your chisels and planes? They are amazingly sharp as seen when you cut crossgrain so smoothly!
    The cat seems to like seeing itself in the camera viewer - haha.

      Nothing wrong with mixing wood. The contrast looks great and the reclaimed old growth oak is better saved for parts of projects that are more visible than the shelves.
      On this one the shelves match all of the wedges.
