What kind of person would give this a thumbs down. Shame on you!!! This guy is an absolute master woodworker. Thank you for these amazing videos. Please don't stop making these.
@GKeeper316 you don't have a friggin clue, better to be silent & thought a fool than open your mouth & prove it...
@GKeeper316 no you can't
@GKeeper316 I’m afraid that your choice of words has managed to successfully hid a genuine point. If you had been able to translate some of your thoughts into a reasoned sentence, then perhaps you would not have managed to become the object of multiple shaking heads.
Style is personal; skill is eternal. There are some items that D&W make that do not suit my aesthetic. There are many which I love. I am guessing that the product is a combination of D&W style and customer choice. In a world where making bespoke furniture profitably is incredibly difficult, then I would understand any maker making anything that makes them a profit. However, no matter how the piece pleases my very personal taste, I appreciate the supreme craftsmanship involved in every single one.
I have been woodworking for 40 plus years and had a side line business making bespoke items. Now retiring, but still making slowly.
You are clearly not a woodworker. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but don’t be ignorant about it. Grow up
I keep hearing people say these days that there are no real craftsmen like in the 'old days.' And then I remember Doucette and Wolfe, and show them :)
Truly an inspiration guys. I'll never be as skilled as that but I sure give it a try, with extra motivation every time you post something!
Thank You Rob!
What an amazing job. Such a pleasure watching step-by-step the creation of a new masterpiece. Very rewarding to see that old cabinetmaking cratsmanship is still alive, thriving, and with such great quality. Thank you for sharing the meticulous process of your craft. Much appreciated. Cheers from New York.
That is not furniture. That is ART, and it is incredible.
Also, very nice work on the production video. Thanks for showing all the details that went into these amazing pieces.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching
I’ve tried to master woodworking for years and I beliefe one of your master skills is sharpening (beyond many others). Your blades are amazengly sharp. If you don‘t mind, would you please do a video on sharpening your way?
I subscribe to your channel, I am 61 years old and I mostly fix broken furniture and antiques every once in a while I get to build something nice. How I wish I was very young and started my woodworking career then in the past four years or so that’s when I started my woodworking
This guy is King of the Dove Tail Joint.
Relatively, dovetails are easy. It's the curved work which never ceases to amaze me.

How I wish I was very young and started my woodworking career then in the past four years or so that’s when I started my woodworking Adventure I guess you can say I have a knack for it, young man you are a very talented woodworker I love looking at your videos. Keep those videos coming thank you for sharing your work.
Gorgeous furniture, gorgeous work. Please keep making these videos. I for one really appreciate them.
Привет из Крыма, смотрю ваши работы постоянно Сам реставрируют мебель . Ваши работы просто класс Мастер!!!!!!
Я тоже из Крыма постоянно смотрю эти работы это шедевры а инструменты супер
Edem Medzhitov два земляка на одном канале отличного мастера это здорово
@@user-db7wh9id9u Это единственный мастер на всю планета земля только его смотрю по несколько раз !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting. Goodness you have some hours in those pieces, they look fantastic.
I can never decide watching your videos whether I'm more envious of your amazing skills or incredible tools collection!
It’s crazy that 3 people put thumbs down. Really. This video showcased beautiful craftsmanship. Great work.
I'm sure the thumbs down people are looking for a step by step instruction manual. Not going to happen here, but if they just pay close enough attention, they can learn an immense amount from these videos. This guy is an absolute master.
@@awsumsum or just jealous
Fantastic! Truly a Master's work. You make it look so simply.
Excellence sir! The only thing I ever received an award for in HS was woodshop. Cherry entertainment center. My only regret I didn't focus attention on the craft for the next 40-ish years. Enjoy your craft as I see you are! Blessings
Watching this construction process, I imagined the old-timers who executed their craft in Colonial days, making sure everything was just right. When these artistic pieces that were made back then wind up on "Antique Roadshow", the Keno brothers appraisers see them for what they are, transcendent examples of the highest degree of craftsmanship. D&W are continuing in this historic tradition. Initially, I was a bit irked there wasn't any dialogue, but soon came to appreciate the process itself was doing all the talking. That said, it would have been nice to see the final staining applied and custom brass hardware fabricated and installed to complete the build from soup to nuts. What an achievement!
It is great to see such a fine craftsman still doing it by hand , no machine can match him.
Wonderfully illustrated. Real Craftsmanship.
That wood is insane! You must have been really excited while making these. Outstanding work!
Yes, Its always exciting to work with amazing material figured or not. Thanks!
I always look forward to your videos.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

magnificent!
Wow beautiful

Excelente
Great !
Amazing!
Thanks!
That tiger maple is stunning. I loved the chest of drawers. My only criticism is the drawer pulls. They do not suit that beautiful wood.
As usual, beautiful work. But why 720p and not higher resolution?
Wow!
there's awesome, then there's AWESOME.... holy F$%K wow!!!!!!!!!
What type of plane is that? I have looked around and cannot find any reference to that type of plane..
Did you drill holes for the Keyhole Escutcheon or did you dye the wood black behind it?
Omg, that tiger! I cut down a silver maple (for safety) in my moms yard a few years ago. Had about a 32" trunk. After it was felled, I noticed under the bark that the cadmium was rippling. I immediately told the landscape guys to leave the bottom ten feet of the trunk. Had a sawyer come out the next day and mill it. It's had plenty of time to dry, but I don't have the workspace anymore. Meanwhile I pay $90/month for a storage locker. 😅 I could probably make a couple grand selling the slabs, but it's a tree I grew up with. It will be furniture for my children. Some day...
At any rate, what do yo use for the drawer carcasses and dividers? Looks like poplar?
Poplar is a traditional secondary wood for this type of furniture
@@billystray7007 yes, that's what I use. Cheap and comes so well milled from the big box stores.
Thanks Brian! Very cool story. I am sure the log will make some nice furniture for your kids one day. On these pieces we used poplar. 1/4 sawn poplar for the drawer sides for extra stability. The 1/4 sawn is not necessary if it is not something your supplier carries.
Phweee!👍
In your experience, how much does solid wood sheets bends over time? For example, side panels.
One thing I noticed about your construction; I rarely see you use glue. And when I do, it looks like your using hide glue. Do you rely on the fit of your joinery alone to keep everything held together?
I always use glue on dovetails. For the videos it’s easier to see the joinery when the joints are dry during the fitting process.
I see a lot of shell shape design on your pieces, any particular reasons?
Is that a low angle / bevel up smoothing plane you're working the maple with at 1:38? How do you sharpen it? And what kind of plane are you using at 3:15?
The plane at 3.15 is a Lie Nielson no. 9 miter plane.
beautiful work, where would you recommend a beginner hand tool wood worker start?
Weekend warriors
Amazing work! The final orange/reddish color is only shellac or is it stained or dyed somehow? It would be very nice to add the finishing process on an upcoming video!
Thank you! Aniline dye followed by Shellac then Royal Lac
Hats off! You guys are amazing. Are you looking for an apprentice? ;-)
A true masterclass. However, what plane is that that is being used @3:20 on the mitre? I haven't been able to find anything like it
to add to Juan’s answer sometimes they are called a miter planes
Been waiting for this for a while!! Did you renovate your workshop, or move shop or something? Background looks a bit different on each video.
Thanks For Watching! I moved shops a couple years ago and the new one has been a work in progress.
Do you ever have issues with cupping or warping of panels that wide
I normally will mill wider parts a couple times to get to final thickness along with letting the pieces acclimate to the shop. This has worked well for overall stability.
You should show a draft of the furniture?
A suggestion if I may - instead of speeding up your videos, why not make them in two parts?
Wouah
Who many time did you sped to make one of this?
Beautiful work!
Curious as to what angle is your smooth plane set to?
Low angle smoother is approx. 55*, the #4 is 50*
Lovely work. Was that a Cosman saw? Thank you for uploading
You bet, that saw is a Lie Nielsen
I've asked 3 times but again what kind of plane is that big boxy one?
It's a Lie Nielsen No 9 mitre plane (piano maker's plane) copying an earlier Stanley version. www.oldhandtools.co.uk/lie-nielsen-no-9-iron-mitre-plane-1
Salo Kin is correct, a NO 9, also called a miter plane, sometimes you can find older Stanley version.
@@Doucetteandwolfefurniture thanks I've been wondering that for some months now
