When you attach the knee blocks to the front and side of the legs is there anything you have to address, like the two blocks touching? Do you just leave a space between them or are they mitered? I wasn't able to see what the underside of yours look like.
Why do you not glue the top of the kneeblock?
Because it would be cross grain to the rail. There is plenty of surface to the side of the leg.
The golf glove tells all. Pure mastery.
Where does one purchase a piece of mahogany the width to accommodate the Walker table? What type of mahogany is it?
I bought mine from a fellow who had the large mahogany piece for years. You can always find a piece that is 1/2 of what you need and glue it together. One of the 2 museum piece is 2 pieces
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your videos on this stepping stool. Inspirational to me to the point that I made my own! Thank you
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
good morning sir. I have searched the internets high and low and you are the only other human who apparently has had this issue to fix. thank you for documenting your process! I inherited a 120 year old dresser and had to replace (non-original hardware). When bending the bails for the convex handles, do you ever heat or anneal them in anyway post bend?
@kevinclary8479 no, never have
For the algorithm.
Was pleasantly surprised to see you back to work.Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Thanks Russ
Glad you are back!
Thanks
Good to see you again. Thanks for posting the videos.
Thanks Walter
Thank you for taking the time to produce,edit and mostly teach with your videos, David. A tilt top table such as this is next up for me, so I am watching with great interest and appreciation! Also, LOVE the silent shoutout to SAPFM! Be well - Diane
SAPFM is a great organization, I have learned so much from them and continue to do so
Do they even have mahogany trees that large anymore, or was it glued together?
This is one piece. You can still find wide mahogany, but it is old stock.
It’s good to see one of the finest craftsman around back on the scene. Keep it going.
Thanks Mark
Good to see you back Dave! Hope your doing well. Excellent work as always.
Thanks Nick
Can't wait to watch. Glad your back at it .
Thanks
Yes, glad to see you back. I have always been impressed with your work.
Thanks
Welcome back! Glad to see you are doing well. thanks for the videos.
Your welcome
I haven't seen you in a while. It's great to see you yet again
Thanks
Glad to see you back
One board at 30" wide, that's gotta be hard to come by. Nice to see you back.
Thanks Chris
Glad your back
Good to see you back! Love how in depth you go on the technical aspects.
David your voice was cut off at the end, no harm no foul, after-all your fine woodworker not David lean This is going to be very interesting
Thanks Ralph
So glad to see you again. I always enjoy your videos and have missed seeing your work.
You are welcome
Out of curiosity, how does the level of hardness to carve this compare to ball and claw foot? I ask because I’m currently taking an evening carving class and am doing a ball and claw. Will re do that at least once and then thinking to go to the fan next. Would like your thoughts. Thanks.
The flat fan is easier than the ball and claw. The undulating fan is about the same.
@oeff Thanks David. Can't wait to carve one of this. Has to be easier than the ball and claw. My first ball and claw is likely mid-way through and looks like a drunken beaver gnawed it out. Practice, practice, practice. Learning a lot.
Sure have learned alot watching your videos. Getting close to starting one of those. Why couldn't you make a radius template to use to periodically check while carving the ball portion? Thanks for taking the time to film and offer your craft to us.
That was early in my carving of ball and claw. If you watch later videos you will see me use a molding profile device which holds the profile of the ball so it can be copied.
Do you offer the plans or templates for this chest?
Yes, I distribute the drawings free to members of SAPFM. Org You can sign up online if you are not a member
David, wonderful work as always. Truly inspirational. Curious if you are a member of SAPFM ?
Oh Yes, for 16 years
@@DavidBoeff one of the founding members. 👍👍
@@johnedwards6939 no, but shortly after
Wow, that’s some kinda air hose man .
Ended up here as I’m learning about different finishes as I get into stripping paint & refinishing the old cherry veneer doors in our house. But I admit I didn’t hear anything you said while “Appalachian Spring” was playing. ❤❤❤
Sorry about that, try one of my other videos
@@DavidBoeff No no. What I meant was that I loved that you were listening to that piece while working/filming. It’s my favorite instrumental piece.
“We’re going to be careful when we do that “. Thanks, I’m a better woodworker now .
Dang , that’s nice work !
Thanks
Hey folks, you have found the best master woodworking source on the web .
STUPID ...!!!!!
Hi David! Your content is amazing for aspiring woodworkers. I have a question, I recently bought some mahogany logs that I milled in different measurements, one of them being 4/4 + 1/8. To my dismay, the sawmill guys left some a bit thinner that that, around 1 1/16 and 1. These are wide boards at about 25 inches, they are dead flat though. Do you think it is feasible to hand plane them to 7/8s? Many reproductions use that size as a standard and I'm concerned if I will be able to get them there. Note; The lumber is dry and very flat. Thanks in advance for your valuable help!
I would say you should be able to get 7/8 or 3/4 from those boards. That should be enough for most 18th century furniture
@@DavidBoeff Hi David, thank you so much for your reply!
Ok thanks you.
David are still posting your videos on UA-cam? I very much enjoy your work and skill
I would if I was doing something but right now not working on any 18th century furniture
That string you used for sizing the ball appeared to be weed whacker trimmer line. It was fairly stiff which worked well. If it wasn’t, I think I will try my weed whacker trim line for such measurements.
Yes, also you can use a molding profile device to measure one that you have to make others identical
David what is your opinion of clamping pressure when gluing up a panel say? I’ve come across different opinions and with your skill level I’m curious as to what your approach is? Thanks
I just clamp enough to make sure the joints are closed and the glue squeezes out
I may have missed this but my question is why Waterlox? I’ve never used it before and I’m curious why it appeals to you. I tend to use a lot of General Finishes products.
Paul, it is popular with many wood workers, I is a slow process to use but very durable once completed
@@DavidBoeff thanks! I’m using arm r seal on a desk I’m making. It’s the first time I’ve used it. Believe it’s similar to waterlox. Love the stuff you make. You are an amazing talent 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful!! Are your plans available? I would love to make that Beautiful piece. You've done a wonderful job.
Are you a member of SAPFM?
@DavidBoeff No sir but I will take care of that tomorrow and get back with you. I love period furniture. Your work is Amazing. Can't wait to watch your content. You've already taught a few things to me .Thanks.
@chrispokorney6801 I have some pdf's which are free to members. If you join I can send them to the email address in your profile. Where do you live
@DavidBoeff I live in Bluefield WV. If I had to guess, you live a million miles from me. I don't think there are many woodworking craftsman that live in WV. I will get joined when I get home from work this evening. Thanks.
@DavidBoeff I'm a member now. I would Greatly appreciate if you would send me any plans and or information on that Beautiful piece of furniture you crafted.
Sure wished you lived near me. I would love to learn from you. Great Job. And Great explanation of a complicated process.
Thanks, where do you live
@DavidBoeff Bluefield WV. I'd say your 50 hrs away. Lol Every craftsman seems to be. No one in my parts.
The scrapers you make from putty knives do you turn a bur on them or leave them flat?
There is a bur from grinding, I leave it on
Next time try making a square wood or plastic base for you Router, that fits in your jig. You had to much play using you Router.
Was the stock you cut the leg from 4"x4" or ?
3 x 3
Enjoy watching your videos. I see you haven't posted in a while. I hope all is well by you
All is well, downsized to a garage space. Just don't do videos
@@DavidBoeff Thanks for the quick response glad all is well. Hope you will be able to post some videos in the future
Do you make your working drawings by hand or a computer? Thanks
by hand
The drawer sides for narrow document drawers are they are pine ?
Beautiful 👏👏👏👏
Do you use a burnisher to put a hook on the putty knife scraper?
Sometimes
