Coat Hanger with Secret Wedged Tenons
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2017
- Using one 10" wide 8' long yellow pine board we show how a simple coat hanger can be made.
As always, no nails screws or glue need be used here, just a three joints, a through wedged tenon, a japanese style Nuki beam wedged joint, and a fox or blind wedged tenon for the feet.
Finish is our old standby raw linseed oil cut half in half with citrus solvent.
glad to see you added the Mr. chickadee watermark, I've seen your video's ripped off on Facebook with hundreds of thousands of views with no mention of you and it makes me sad not only are you loosing money but also getting no recognition at all. hopefully that at least minimises people ripping off your property.
love the videos, watching these help me forget about life for just a while.
That wedging system for the posts locking into the feet creating an internal dovetail joint is absolute genius! I just love watching your videos for your ingenious way of constructing. You're abilities are amazing!
Your videos are going to be a tremendous help building my home off grid. Thank you for taking the time to make them while you're clearly busy with other chores lol✌️
Watching you work is therapeutic. Love it.
That blind wedge tenon was sweet. I could just see me doing it, but having it bottom out and wedge with 1/8" to go. Your precision fascinates and inspires me.
Enjoyable to watch these projects come together.
Love these videos. So relaxing and I learn something useful at the same time. Great job...Thanks.
9:28 Very smart, wedges that drive themselves in when the parts are put together.
The problem with the blind wedged tenon is that once the joint loosens up it is very difficult to repair. The joint may loosen with time but it will never come apart so the coat rack may get wobbly but not completely fail.

Master Carpenter once again ! Thanks for posting, God Bless !
I just realized how meditative the finishing process is for me in watching this. Whether I'm staining a door or painting a house, I do it in complete silence if I have a choice. The linseed oil carving trick is new to me. Makes perfect sense.
Another simple and beautiful project! Really nice job.
Every time I look your video's I'm totally impressed about the precision of your joint and all fits well without a nail or wood glue. On every video I learn something new, like to dip the chisel in linseed oil working with hard wood. Thank you so much sharing this knowledge with us. I'm also impressed how relaxed your cat is, when you are working near by. Best wishes and greetings from good old Germany.
hey your cat winked at me!
great relazing vid, perfect for just before bed...love your vids n work.
Awesome piece my friend as usual thanks for sharing.
I just had to say that I have been dabbling in woodworking for about fifty years now.....and I will never reach the level of craftsmanship you exhibit. Just incredible.
Thank you but Im sure you would given the time and references to learn. Im just blessed with time as a result of our very humble lifestyle choices.
Ambidextrous with the back saw, nice! Beautiful wood.
Very nice Mr. C. thank you.
Wow! Simple elegance.
Looks very good, the result and the process!
Amazingly accomplished and simple design. Love your work. Wish I had your design/woodworking references. Always unique and masterfully executed.
Thank you kindly! No too many references really…just Roy Underhill, which was enough for me. I find most woodworking authors use power tools and the glue and or screw methods of modern construction…which I done care for...
Fantastic video as always.
I've noticed many people request some sort of explanation as to what you're doing in the video. The description is very aptly in the video... Description, but might I suggest using the caption feature of RUclips to narrate your videos with text during the video. You can even have people submit translations which allow you to reach an international audiance.
Thank you guys, again for your hard work and dedication to creating something of such high quality. It's truly appreciated.
Great work.
very good craftsmanship. i have learned from your video's thank you. i would write more about your work, but my opening statement said it all. stay safe.
Mr. CHickadee, your videos are fantastic. No question about it. I realize that your silence in them is an important part of the overall aesthetic, reinforcing the notion of the importance of patience in work such as this, but there are times when I would really love a bit of explanation of your processes. For example, what is the liquid you applied to your chisel and why do you use it?
check description
Chisel
Probably oil,
Sliding part more soft ?
It's linseed oil, but you can use olive oil for example. Myself i use clothes soap (actual fat instead of synthetic fat for hand soap). Excellent to have a bar around when cutting with a chisel, saw, even for lubricating screws.
Thank you, its just some linseed oil. Its an old Japanese trick to help mortises, in this case the pine was very hard and resinous, the oil helped a lot keeping it from sticking.
Thank you for taking the time to reply!
The blind wedged tendon is amazing joinery.
Excellent work.................
simply awesome!!
I am surprised you do not have handmade hanger. Thanks for another well done video.
A beautiful coat rack for the Emperor.
After his first coat is hung on it at 12:28 we can see his entire wardrobe hanging on it at the end.
Thumbs up if you see the Emperor's new clothes too.
Yes, especially the robe on the left end.
Another beautiful piece, Mr Chickadee. As always, it's a privaledge to watch you work. And as always, Mrs. Chickadee's camera work is impeccable. I was kind of hoping to see you work at your lathe on this one, but the draw knife and spoke shave in the hands of a craftsmen were still quite enjoyable. Your channel is kind of like McDonald's... "I'm Lovin' It"!
amazing ! sinceres friendship from France
Ahh, the tenon with the wedge tucked inside of the mortice. Also called a hell wedge (jigoku-kusabi) in Japanese joinery, because of its difficulty. Well done, sir.
Did anybody else catch the pencil marks @ the top wedges that he just zerofoxed and polyed over ? Oh the humility . j/k Great job !!
Love the secret wedged tenons....
So great!
Yeoww dude....we've got Maria breathing down our necks here in PR....and she's pissed....but we always have some time for a nice video of yours.....thanks!
Parabéns!!! Muito lindo!!! Brasil🇧🇷
No wooden hangers? I really enjoy watching your process. Thank you.
Watching this craftsman depresses me. I have never seen such patience!! Wonder who sharpens all his saws, drawknives and chisels? Wow.......
I used the same hidden wedge joint on my cherry kitchen stools that you used on the base.
Are you planning on doing a tour of the house?
Great work, I love the content you make. Thank you!
Love your cat.
Its kinda weird to me that i have watched countless hours of this mans amazing work and never heard his voice.
Yes, there is such high intellect, such wisdom in the dialogue. It's one of my favorite parts of this channel.
Find his Q&A video
We’ve heard him say, “Ah, Hah,” once. In a frame raising video. That said, his narration is one of the things I enjoy.
Yes , all of his focus in the project , no time for talking I think 🤔 , amazing work indeed .
Thank you for all your hard work Sir. Both your RUclips content and and working skills are truly inspiring. I wish you all the success that others in this format have gained but seem to take for granted. I'm sure you would do better than buy a sports car.
Thank you, now what in the world would anyone want with a sports car? haha
I do love you videos though and that cat is so cute
So Cool....
I am not a cat person but I like the way she gets in the video and looks at the camera. Must be a reflection of her in the lens.
How dare you buy store bought hangers!! Just kidding! Love your work man! Great stuff!
BTW that needs hand made wooden hangers :)
John Hales how would You make them with the radius of a hanger hook? Some where You would have weak short grain
The only thing I can think of is steam bending but then the bending that tight of a raduis would be hard
I've never seen a sturdy attractive all-wood hanger.
@Walt Lars with a wooden triangle base and wire hook coming out the top
How about coming out of the top of the wood triangle base at a 45° angle and then three right angle joints with the 4th side shorted to allow the rod in?
Sort of a "3/4 of a wood diamond on top of a wood triangle"?
Nice video,
The clothes rack looks great.
I might have an improvement suggestion.
You dipped your hole chisel at the pin hole working out in oil.
I have an average tin can (diameter about 8cm and about 10cm high).
Then a fabric strip (example old jeans pants or other cotton fabric) about 10.5cm wide, the fabric tightly roll up, which fits tightly into the can. Then you will pour some oil on the fabric in the can, as much as the fabric can suck. Depending on the fabric type, it takes different lengths.
When this is done, you can use your chisels, planing, sawing barking and the tools are lightly oiled, which allows them to slide better over the wood or the saw glides better.
I studied woodworking in Japan and what you describe is similar to what they do. They use a large bamboo joint the way you use the can.
Hey, I really appreciate the effort you obviously put into keeping your videos well-shot, well-lit, and without any superfluous narration, music, or digressions. You're up there with Ishitani Furniture as my favourite woodworker on youtube. I wanted to ask, why you you rock the saw when you're rip cutting those boards?
Thanks, the rocking is a combination of just smooth body mechanics, your arm wants to move that way comfortably, and what you can't see is Im slightly lifting on the back stroke each time to release pressure on the teeth and not dull them as fast. Kinda like using a file and lifting on the backstroke.
You sir can cut straighter with that rip saw than what I can with a table saw.
And not only that, notice how effortlessly he switches between right and left hand (like, at 9:08 or so.) I know and have known a lot of first-rate cabinet makers over the years. I have never seen anyone with this level of ‘virtuosity’ in tool handling. What blows my mind is really how young Mr C is. From what I understand, he didn’t start out in wood working. It takes a life time to gain this level, and most will fall short. Amazing!
He could make an egg n cheese omelette and i would still watch and like it..
Whooa! Sawing left-handed ---- you musta' been sharpening saws.
Helps a lot to change it up, work much longer without fatigue.
Hay Mr. Chickadee, thanks for the vids. I am working on a tiny house ecovillage. We are exploring deep chair-size furos for the bathroom. Since you're a wood pro, also a Japanese enthusiast, I'm wondering if you can share a video or suggestions for effective ways of building one. Any info you share is appreciated! Thank you!
I just discovered your videos and as a mediocre cabinet maker I find your videos amazing and intriguing but I do have a question, if you have time to answer. At the 4:00 min mark you dipped your chisel in your linseed mixture. Was that for lubricant purposes or was it for some other reason.
Beautiful. How about wood hangers for it. 👍
Love it - another great video - are the pencil marks left on purpose?
I like to leave layout lines on all my work
Do you use different saws for crossovers and ripcuts?
yeah who needs a wood lathe when you've got this guy...
Great video (as they all are). Why did you dip the chisel in the linseed oil?
Thank you, its just some linseed oil. Its an old Japanese trick to help mortises, in this case the pine was very hard and resinous, the oil helped a lot keeping it from sticking.
This man could tug off a bear and still wouldn't get cramp..
No kidding, i've been sawing wood all the week, with a small saw, and left the big saw cuts for the end of the week hopping my muscles would be in shape...pfft. Nope. Got a cramp right along the back in one minute.
Though there is some strength and endurance involved, proper technique helps reduce fatigue, the saw should be held rather loosely, just tight enough to control it, with the forefinger extended, let the saw work, don't press down or force, imagine you have to find a pace and rate you can maintain for hours. It also helps a bunch to train yourself to saw lefty as well, I do that a lot.
I would like to know where I could find a marking knife like that think it's pretty cool you can also make a knife wall with it as well
I think this one was on sale at Woodcraft Supply maybe 15 years ago, its a swiss made detail knife.
I love how much you have studied the craft. Can you recommend a good source for some of the Japanese influence you have? I have not been able to easily find what I am looking for.
There are a few good books online, The complete Japanese Joinery, is one, though a bit muddled up in the translation I have been told.
Thanks, that one seemed to be a little more of a reference book than an educational one. If you haven't already check out James Krenov's books. His love affair with wood is legendary. I appreciate the response as I know you are probably bombarded regularly.
How do you sharpen your hand saws?
What was the actual build time? I really enjoy your videos.
One full day. Thank you!
I love how Charles the Kitty could care less you are sawing less than a foot from his tail.
interesting that you would lube a smaller chisel for mortise cutting, and not the larger one, where there is more force being applied, or on the deeper mortise for the feet.
On the smaller one he used a true mortise chisel - both sides thick & square to the back. Makes them stronger for chunking out waste and staying flat. Since the mortise was only as wide as the chisel itself there's more friction with the wood. The larger one was with a regular chisel with the angled sides / thinner edges and a hole wider than the chisel.
AJPlaysToday there is more force nessary for chopping out mortises
The broad flat chisel is for triming off that last little bit in the corner of the two saw cuts or flattening a cut
Thank you, its just some linseed oil. Its an old Japanese trick to help mortises, in this case the pine was very hard and resinous, the oil helped a lot keeping it from sticking.
What? No hangers made from willow branches?? HA!! Another fine job!!
Curious as to what you were lubing your chisel with when chopping the mortise.
honing oil
Do you ever make mistakes? I'd love to see your outtakes.
I was thinking the same thing. I want to see him slip just once and scream out an expletive! lol
Only all the time buddy! ;)
You can see he has a couple of scrapes on his hand in this video. lol
what did you dip the mortise chisel in and why?
Jake Ray I think it's 18 or 19th century Carpenter blood
To keep the sap from getting all over his tools.
Thank you, its just some linseed oil. Its an old Japanese trick to help mortises, in this case the pine was very hard and resinous, the oil helped a lot keeping it from sticking.
This is very hard work, but rewording as well.
You must have had high humidity in the beginning because all your saws were acting like they were dull, needed sharpening. On all of your videos I have been most impressed by how well you keep your tools.
I keep my saws very sharp, this was some very hard and thick pine, takes just a few strokes to cut through.
Then that was the problem I saw very hard thick pine. You still went through it with little difficulty. Very nice work.
👍👍👍🙂
The look on that cat's face is priceless!😂😅😆
Have you every had one of those why did I do that moment and had to start over a piece?
Oh sure, mistakes are part of learning!
Very disappointed at those black hangers...I want to see some spalted maple ones asap! Killer work! Joking of course.
The cat looks like he's about to break into song: Hello my baby, Hello my honey, Hello my ragtime gal!
Well try and catch him on camera the next time he does that. ;)
I would like to know what his is dipping his chisel in?
how much would you sell that coat hanger for?
Do you prefer to work with hard or soft woods?
I fall in love with whatever wood Im using at the time normally….hard woods have their durability and solidity, and take a great shine and polish right off the plane. Softwoods have their ease of work and lightness for their weight. I love both in their place!
congratulatio god work. in minute 4 is oil?
Thank you, its just some linseed oil. Its an old Japanese trick to help mortises, in this case the pine was very hard and resinous, the oil helped a lot keeping it from sticking.
Thanks for sharing the technique I did not know
I've noticed lately in many of the furnishings for your home you've been using a lot of wedge through tenons rather than actually joining the wood. Are you just doing this in case of a move in the future?
Not exactly for that reason. I really like the old asian system of joinery that can be tightened afterward, or pieces replaced and reassembled without destroying everything. It just seems more practical to me, and interesting, and of course if you need to move, VERY practical.
When are we getting a tour? 👍
Just as soon as the furniture is done...
It seems like you always include a 'new' (new to the series) technique. I'm guessing those blind wedged tenons are as permanent as the wood.
Good eye. Rather than just entertainment, I am "feeling" my way around in furniture joinery, seeing what I like and what I don't, with the end result being to have a good grasp on how to make most everything.
At 9:18, what is the purpose of drilling those holes?
Allows the wood to be spread apart without splitting, I believe.
Josh, you're messin' with us, right? Cheap PLASTIC hangers on your beautiful hand crafted clothes rack? Well played!
Those are velvet hangers.
Have you built old sailing ship things?
Just a wooden block and tackle.
Mr C if the ocean ever washes that far inland you will be ready.
Nice work. The cat freaks me out.
John Walsh blue kittie is very protective of His Daddy
Blues exsist in another reality, adjacent to but not quite intersecting our own.
I've known some really strange blues.
What you dipping the chisel in?
honing oil
@@MrChickadee thanks ;)
when your to bad ass to use nails.
CreatingtheReaper Actually, that's a VERrY good idea. Mr Chic, how about a traditional slope sided sea chest? They are much fun, like 4-6 degrees?
What ever happened you your little white dog? Also, you are a master craftsman
She passed away last year. Thank you for the comment.
I'm so sorry. Cute cat though. I bet they have fun with all the wood shavings!
Proč tam stále dáváš tu kočku?
Someone had to teach you in your youth
Did you have a wonderful grandfather

Great project and video, though I must confess: my chisels and planes have a tougher time with pine than yours.
Pine can be a bit tough from time to time, depending on species and growth. I love slow grown clear yellow pine, but have had to throw out some fast grown white pine with huge knots every few inches, actually chipped my plane iron trying to thickness the stuff!!!

I love watching these videos. Can anyone tell me what type of carpentry this is? Like, what would I search to find books on this? I've tried looking for timber framing or joinery, but don't find anything. The windows specifically were awesome, with the pegs, and I am not sure what to search to find how it is done. Thanks!
Try searching for books by Roy Underhill, he has 5, all with similar titles like his first "the Woodwrights Shop" his books and show are how I first learned. I think his second book has a lot of window information. THere is also an old but good book available from Lost Art Press called Window Making and Door Making. Great info in that one as well. You can see Roys Show for free online at PBS.org.
Might I recommend putting the watermark in the top right corner, rather than near the bottom? Too often in your videos is the work obscured by the watermark and, while I do see it's value, I'd rather see the work. ;)
