Cabinet Scrapers - get a dry wall joint compound knife and use that for stock - they are inexpensive and the steel has been tempered, but is still workable with a file etc.
Spokeshave - as many have done - make your own... most of us have older 10" or 12" saw blades which cannot be sharpened any longer, but the plates are very nice steel for spokeshave or draw knife, hand knife, marking knife etc. (a stiffer joint compound blade might make a decent marking knife as well)
Mood lighting, I love it. Great for a sip of whiskey. 😏
Awesome John. Nice background for the Whiskey Shed as well!!
Hey Mr McGrath.... fellow Irish man here. Sourced some timber is the same place you did. Thanks for that link. I’m having the same problems you had with the UJK Parf system. I think the problem is a round up or round down error that becomes more exaggerated the bigger the table. It’s not the systems fault it’s you and me!!! The pins collar needs to sit into the ruler. But to be fair it’s not easy to ensure that. One mistake and off we go on a wiggly waggily path!! Well done on the channel
I'm getting a western saloon vibe from it. Its excellent, I love it!
It has that kind of feel to it
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed you've inspired me with the contrasting woods anyway, I might just go for some wood dye, its cheaper 😂
Well done John. That is looking Fantastic!!! Like your joints positioned on top as well.
Thanks 👍
If you're trying to get a symmetrical freehanded curve like that John, try getting some plasticard (thin stuff will do grand) - modelling shops like Marks Models will have it as will a lot of arts and crafts places - draw the curve on the plasticard and then cut to the line with an xacto knife, and now you have a template that you can use to draw the curve on one side, then flip it over and draw the same curve on the other side.
Flexible rulers can do it as well, but if you slip and bang the ruler off something while flipping it over it can go sideways and the plasticard can be (a) filed away for replicating it later; and (b) has a straight edge to reference off.
Thanks for the tip Mark
Nice one John that wee bit at the top fairly finishes it off and the lights.
Thanks 👍
Hi there John have to say I’m new to your channel and I’m enjoying everything so far and you have gave me some ideas for my shed as I’m looking to put my tools up onto the wall but it’s to help me with my ptsd mental health issues so keep the videos coming keep safe and well 🏴👍🏻
Good to hear Scott, I'm glad the videos are helping!
Looking good John...
Great project, well done!
Glad you like it!
Thank you for taking us on the tool cabinet build. I really appreciate that you dont have every tool, yet you find a way to do the job! This approach reflects more accurately the reality of most hobby wood workers. Also, the use of hand planes to dimension the sapele is a good choice, you were able to show it isnt that hard, the process and a good end result. A couple of suggestions you want to try, 1) put a back bevel on a dedicated plane blade will take care of most of that tear out. 2) the suggestion to use an old saw plate to make a scraper, good video idea for you. The card scraper is better than sand paper for tear out. 3) make your own panel guage, very needed tool that is easy to build, another great video idea.
Great video!!!!
Wow that's awesome bro. 🇫🇯🇫🇯
Cheers man
Looks great mate. Hope to see an other update on the front part of the cabnet.
Coming soon!
You could always use a chalk snap line to give you a straight line
I've really enjoyed these videos John, I am mid making a tool cabinet - not quite this grand but its been good to watch. I love your honesty about the fret saw, I would have def used the bandsaw! Great work, great videos.
Glad you enjoyed it
Meant to ask, which no 7 plane do you have / recommend?
@@att20831 I have a Quangsheng no 7 they're great planes for the money, available from workshop heaven
Very nice job. The cabinet is getting some special character .
Another good episode of an excellent series.
Thanks Jonathan
I'm going to make make something similar soon it looks so good
Go for it
I built two smaller cabinets of a similar design years ago. They have served me well.
Nonetheless, I wish I had built them in the way you have because your design uses space more efficiently, in my opinion. Terrific tool cabinet!
BTW: I had to smile in sympathy as you recounted your dovetailing error. I have made the same mistake. I, too, have learned that fatigue does not enhance precision. Nice repair.
The sound of your #7 on that sapele is like music to my ears. Sweet! 👍
P.S> If you would like a scrub plane (equivalent) one good way to do it is to get a used Stanley #4 or #5 (my preference) camber the blade edge, and open the mouth a bit with a mill file. This setup works like a charm and it is more versatile and less expensive than either a new or used scrub plane.
A good video project for you might be making a bow saw, which is much better for this type of work than any coping saw.
Great video. Thanks!
I like your balance between decorative and utilitarian. And that your hand tool use is for fun, so you're ready to use the bandsaw. A turning bow saw would be faster than a coping saw, and a heck of a lot faster than a fretsaw. In the US the Gramercy saw is a good choice, but I'm sure you have good options.
One hand tool comment: I find it liberating that hand tool methods do not require making all faces flat and square. One face, one edge, and the two ends to fit your cabinet would be enough.
Love the lights, an excellent touch.
Glad you like them!
I actually don't mind the longer videos. I was just having this conversation the other day about the current younger generation and their need for instant gratification. If we aren't careful no one will take the time to go slow and make things right. I much rather see a good 30-45 min video that a decent 15- 25 min video. Keep them coming my friend.
Nice work young man. I enjoy your attention to detail John. Keep up the great work.
Thanks 👍
Great series. Some people use glass for scraping. Haven't myself.
The cabinet is looking brilliant, John - instead of flowery patterns, though, I think you should carve your channel logo or your name into the pelmet, otherwise you might have the missus getting ideas about moving the whole thing to the kitchen to put teacups and plates on display ;)
Good man John!!! Ya have a surface planer and a thicknesser, but still chose to use hand planes......ya legend :) But I dont blame ya for using the bandsaw to cut it out, id do the same if I had one :P Youre bang on right about the finish from a hand plane, theres no grit of sandpaper that gives you a surface like a plane will :) Sapele really is a beautiful wood, its hard and strong, looks good and ages well too........it can be painful to plane with its interlocking grain, but im always happy when I make something with Sapele....it even smells good when ya plane it :P
Enjoyin this series Mo Chara.........I like longer videos too, so make em as long as ya want as far as im concerned :P :)
It does smell good
Hi John, you could put a push to break switch in between the light and plug so the light comes on as you open the cabinet but you can still switch it off at the socket if needed. Looking good 👍🏻.
... in part 6: adding the sound of singing angels when the doors open and lights come on :-)
Really fabulous job John, so well done!!! Laughing at Brent Glover :)
Looks very Awesome John, looking forward seeing what your going to do with the front of the doors, great job mate
Well done!
Lots of spoke planes on Amazon uk in stock. How good they are I don’t know but look reasonable prices to get you by
love the lighted tool kit! looks great! you keep talking about your carving, and doing more of it, get to it buddy! because i think you can get me to get back to it also, im kinda stalled right now.
Great stuff John !
Hi great work john i got the quensheng spoke shave at xmas brilliant tool
Must get one when they are in stock again
Good video, thanks
Maybe you can put Whiskey Shed decor on the other side of the doors so you can have a different background when the doors are closed?
Thanks for sharing this video I have watched all of the videos on the tool cabinet and I was wanting to know what is the size of it over all, height, length and depth? I am going to build one and think I like the size of yours. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great stuff John.can't see a space for the whiskey bottle.
I'll get one in somewhere
The other way I have fixed dovetail gaps is with slivers of wood hammered in and planed smooth. Its completely invisible as the texture is end grain and exactly the same as the end grain sides of the drawer front.
Brilliant build series was just wondering what you intend doing with you're old tool cabinets
not sure yet
Just to check, have you tried closing the mouth on the plane down really tight and taking really light shavings to deal with the tear out?
John sounding core amazing I am so gutted I can’t see it. Had a dream cabinet to put all my old vintage tools in would be quite nice and quite quirky. Couple of things spokeshaves have you got Facebook or do you know someone with Facebook as on marketplace people selling on their quite regular. Old Stanley is an awesome bit of kit. Use them in Greenwood working. And can I suggest for the carving what about a hand plane a chisel it will tools carved in the plinth that would look really smart I think it look quite quirky.. And you could pencil in a little picture of them 1st to help you you can get quite dipped carving that would look absolutely awesome
Im always awake Mo Chara ;) :P
It’s really looking good John! Let me know if you need, I’ve a couple card scrapers I could send you. And a real cheap, but “serviceable” spoke shave I could send you. The spoke shave is one I quite using because it clogs up with shavings all the time. But, it’s better than nothing! Happy to send along to someone that needs and will use it.
Thanks for the offer Sandy I'll keel that in mind
Really beautiful work, John! It's looking better and better! 😃
Question: did you use 1/2 inch plywood or 3/4s?
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Gonna steal your idea John and make my own. Hope thats okay 😉
Go for it
Oh, and if you can't buy a card scraper, no worries - grab an old jobsite saw and cut the card scraper out of the sawplate with an angle grinder. It's how they used to get made "back in the day" and it's the best thing to do with old saws that have induction hardened teeth. Plus you can cut the curved-edge-rectangle shape that Schwartz was going on about a while ago (it really does work well). And the rest of the sawplate can be used for scratch stock material : www.stochasticgeometry.ie/2018/07/08/those-five-minute-jobs/
I think it’s illegal to use ply and hardwoods together but a nice cabinet to be fare 😍😍
🤫
Haha I´m not that much of a sadist :D Nice one mate :)
😁
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed That was litterally my first thought when I saw you starting off with that puney little saw, "mate why are you doin this when you got a bandsaw, thats gonna take ages, are you some kind of sadist!?" :D
Hi John! Another great vid, love the tool cabinet and the process of making it. Just one question, why didn't you use a marking knife instead of a pencil when marking edges of the board to get it parallel? keep up the great vids love your work for a sparky you make a great chippy!
Hi john just wondering how much more u have to do cause i am very intrested in the plans.
Your doing nice sharp tasty work👍🏻
I have the front door to make and a few more small parts
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed what shops in ireland would you suggest for buying power tools
For a spokeshave you can go to Paul sellers video of how to make a poor mans spokeshave.
This might be me taking it too far, but how about little magnets under the rulers so they don’t rattle around when opening the doors? 🙈 definitely overkill.
yeah might do
Are the 2nd and 3rd box from the left in the right spot? Seems like they swapped places. The grain pattern looks a bit off.
no they are in the right order
Great video John. Where did you get your Japanese rasp from? Peter
can't remember but the are readily available just do a quick Google
Axminster.
@@jlmfoy365 thank you Jim. Peter
John I am going to send you a mail. You have many of the same tools as me and as woodworking hobbyist and not wanting to spend a lot of cash on things you will seldom use. I can send some advise on things I have that make life easier
Cheers John
Ireland???? Allways thought you was scottish 😂 need to learn my accents i guess
Scottish?? 🤣😂👍
