  1. Most the woodworkers this week did something with bending wood. They all in cohoots! ๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. Yeap they all bending the rules and Reno a property I guess itโ€™s a sign to watch hg tv again

    2. I noticed the same thing, including the use of the sander that attaches to a drill for sanding rounded corners. I don’t remember seeing it before and suddenly it’s in several videos though only talked about in one.

    3. โ€‹@@JamesSmullinsI could be wrong but I think that might have been a tool he bought in a previous Temu or Facebook video…

    4. Lol and my next project I’ve been planning for a couple weeks now is also exactly this, a media cabinet that has rounded corners using the kerf being method with a tapered router bit.

  2. Most important question. What keyboard?

    You should see the Jerry rigged keyboard table I have in my studio ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜‚

    1. I’m using a Novation Launchkey as my controller. Main synth is a Prophet Rev 2. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. That wa a fun little pivot. I’m really enjoying your new style with these vids. Just enough talking to work through highlights or details, but showing clearly how you do every step, ehch is what helps me the most. Thanks for sharing!

  4. Well done David & I really appreciate how you think out of the box when doing these projects! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

  5. David, I understand the “aha” moment. Four years ago I started out to make one of your two drawer file cabinets. My wife had the “aha” moment and I turned it into a six foot long desk with two of the file cabinets (now three drawers each) as the legs for her.

  6. I like this style of narrative that flashes back to you talking instead of a voice over narrative. And the build, the way you pivot midstream to see the vision and create the bench from the other two shows the thoughts of a creative mind. Beautiful ending creating the bench

  7. You can calculate the curve dimensions. After cutting the curve slots into the plywood there is a remaining layer (the outside veneer or two depending on the depth of the cuts). The middle line of this layer is the neutral curve zone that will not compress or stretch on bending. Now it’s only a matter of radius at this line and finding the midpoint of the circle to this radius by offsetting your curve template radius by the depth of the curve slots plus half of the thickness of the remaining layer.

  8. Dude, I don’t know specifically what you’re doing different with the camera and the production, but this was a straight up beautiful video. Not to mention a great project on top of it. You had me captivated the whole way.

  9. “shortcuts are the enemy of quality.”

    Man so true!! But also..

    Perfection is the enemy of “good enough.”

    ๐Ÿ˜‚

  10. I really love the way your content and channel have evolved over the years. This is some good stuff

  11. I don’t know how you continually make your videos better each time. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

  12. Fantastic work, Dave! It turned out amazing!!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
    Stay safe there with your family! ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ˜Š
