What a sinfully tragic waste of life time and energy.
It always comes down to price. Giving a customer more than what they’re willing to pay for comes out of your pocket. For a hobbyist, it’s another story, what makes you satisfied.
The amount of time I’ve spent building custom speaker cable with braided sleeving and shrink tubing hiding that no one will ever see. But I know it’s there
I’m reality it’s your skill not the time you spend
My father was a master wood finisher, he was in the trade for almost thirty years. He would always say it was an art that can be enjoyed as you use it. Miss him 01/18/2021
100 years from now, your piece will look even better
There was a student in a 3D modeling class who was building a WWII airplane. He had one polygon inside the engine that wasn’t coming out correctly. He spent 7 days trying to get this one polygon correct when the instructor said, "It’s on the inside where no one will see. Just leave it and move on. No one will know". The student replied, "I’ll know".
Yes, best effort work ethic is that important.
But I am sure..it’s all..in the details! Framing a Burger King..is mindless..but fine woodworking is in the trim.
I get sanding the feet but why to such fine grit? This on tiles just screams sliding on the floor to me
the bottom of a chair leg is one of the most important parts of a chair imo. if it’s off by a bit, it might start rocking, or feel lopsided
I am listening to you and watching, and saying to myself over and over again ”Two flats, two cambers, why is he gripping that by the curved faces and not by the flats?”
Why don’t you use glue size or grain filler on the end grain?
Again, I catch myself trying to blow sawdust off, on a video… 😖
Just because it takes you longer to do the same job that I can do in a short amount of time does not make that fine woodworking. That just makes you lazy and slow.
I totally agree!!
I think everyone recognizes quality work. The difference between a professional & the average person is a professional knows /why/ they recognize the work as high quality.
And superior joinery!
I am no vegan and thus I try my best to not WASTE the energy provided to me from the earth. This is abhorrent.
I think a lot of people might never realise/notice why the difference, like that the leg is properly sanded, the edges are rounded, ect, but they *will* notice things like it moves better when you are sliding it across carpet, that the legs are stronger, that it still looks new 20 years after the other is in the landfill…
You do realize the client is ultimately paying for this time?
Good work truly shines when you see trash all the time i have this piece of furniture that i always admire and never have i seen anything like it to the finest details something most modern furniture doesn’t have it’s the fine details and quality that stands the wave of time truly marvellous you putting your all into your work well never go unnoticed and will truly be appreciated
Same for me.
Wooden table? Does it have to be made out of wood?
It’s all in the details……ALWAYS!
Take pride and don’t be prideful! I honestly appreciate an eye for detail! I do the same and have caught crap for wasting time and now I get paid for detailed work!
yes those details make a huge difference
A woodworker is a craftsman, and you have a beautiful talent to create something out of wood not only are you creative but the imagination to create to see what you can do with that piece of wood you put your heart and soul in the pieces that you create, and when they are bought and cherished and well-made they last forever how do I know I have a chest that’s way over 100 years old and trust me, there’s nothing you can buy on the market that could or would match it. It has such a deep drawers where you can put a lot of clothes in. I wish I had two more of those but it was passed on to me and I hope to pass it onto the next member of my family that would want it.
No; I grew up restoring furniture and that turned into restoring antique furniture. Here’s what I noticed. Fine wood work, from the grain, to the selection and type of wood, to the brilliant marriage of joining, design, and engineering; valuable on its own because of its rarity; not only tends to be sturdier but has a longevity. One is functional and disposable. The other has form, function, and is a potential heirloom piece. One is a product the other is product and art. It’s a lot.
everything is in the fine details.
you have two weeks to do one table ?
I mean is it wasted if you leave the bottom rough and it rips up someone’s carpet? A well finished product is never a waste of time
In sewing we call this finishing work. Finishing work is the details that make a piece finely crafted. Since I’m the end user of my own sewing, it’s easy to think I don’t need to do the finishing work. No one but me will notice. But I feel great pride when I take the time to finish a piece properly, and every time I wear it after that.
I notice and I appreciate fine work.
You know your shit don’t pretend you don’t
Looks like the makings of a wobbly table
Fine woodworking is to impress and delight other woodworkers, no one else cares about the details, really.
"Omg wHy is tHaT so exPEnsiVe"
It’s called paying for a professionals time 🤦♂️
Anyone else notice that he went the wrong way with his router, then corrected with the second pass?
And by “wrong way” I mean differently than his first pass. I’m not sure if this is mirrored or not, so I don’t know the true directions of things.
This applies to art so much as well
Details matter. That’s why we can’t help but critique every piece of furniture we happen upon for eternity.
Do what makes you happy my guy
Anything you do in craftwork is intended to satisfy yourself first and foremost. The majority of onlookers and even customers are often going to be dismissive about your skill or they will attempt to monetize your effort.
I don’t do woodwork and have no idea how to but i 100% notice the difference between fine woodwork and amateur woodwork
I don’t really have an exact opinion of this I cannot afford such high quality but I can see the value of it. But I will say this that much polishing on the bottom of the thing that just means that as long as a person doesn’t slide when it’s weighted that just means it won’t scratch your floor at least until you’re able to get some felt footies on there
I like that. "Not perfect. Just… my best". This is what drives excellence. Yeet.
The answer is ‘no’, and yes you completely wasted time proving a point.
Router it properly and that’s it dons, all those edges/aris/radius/curves/rounds are now off because we can’t hold a sanding block (especially 3 consecutive) as square as a machine and this point proving video would have been better demonstrated on a different part of that table.
I feel like like a Rick arguing with Rick 😂
Wayyyyy to much sanding over kill
It’s the stuff you can only talk about with other woodworkers. Like finish, grain and internal joinery….haha
Oh, you can tell. All the small details are noticed but not understood.
Isn’t sanding the bottom of a table’s foot counterproductive tho?
I get that you want it to be nice but making the table so that it does not wobble afterwards seems like a pain in the arse if you sand the feet
