How Strong Are DOWELS vs DOMINOS vs BISCUITS? Strength Test

In this video I test the strength of dowels, dominos and biscuits. This is a follow up to my "do biscuits add strength to a glue joint?" video which you can find here: http://bit.ly/biscuitjoint

I got a lot of feedback asking me to test dowels too, and now that I have a Festool Domino it's time to test them all out! I also test the wood glue on it's own.

Making A Cat Bed Cabinet / HiKOKI Limited Tools Challenge

In this video HiKOKI challenge me to make a project with limited tools. To make it a little more interesting I decided not to use my workshop either! I make some cat bed cabinets, but they can also be used as bedside tables / night stands, vinyl cabinets to store records or for book storage. The cabinet has an oak top made from salvaged oak worktop, legs made of salvaged hat and coat stands and a carcass made of 18mm hardwood plywood.

Plans & cut list for this project are available on my Etsy or free to my patrons on Patreon (see links below)

Making A Custom Mixing Board Case

In this video I make a mixing board case for an Alice 828 mixing board for my friend Jason at The Crunch Recording Studio in Badersfield, Norfolk. In this one I use some sapele veneered particleboard and make the edge banding from solid sapele and I make a wrist rest using some foam and faux leather.

How To Price Your Work - UK Woodworking

How to price your work as a maker! In this video I talk about my method for pricing woodworking for both woodwork commissions (like bespoke furniture etc) and the items I make for sale on Etsy etc.

Here's how I figure out what to charge!

Mid Century Bookcase Cabinet - Extreme Makeover Before & After Part 2 of 2

In part 2 of converting the teak veneered mid century modern bookcase cabinet, I make and fit a leg assembly for the base of the unit, make and fit the cabinet doors using some euro hinges, remove water stains using oxalic acid, re finish the parts that needed tidying up, and cut the shelves to length - and that's it done!

Mid Century A Bookcase Cabinet - Extreme Makeover Before & After Part 1 of 2

In this video I convert an old teak veneered mid century modern bookcase cabinet that has some structural problems as well as stains and wear and tear in to a slimmer, taller cabinet. I completely disassemble it, add a leg assembly, remove the drawers and convert the bottom section in to a cabinet with doors, and also address some of the worn edges and take care of the water stains with some minor re-finishing works.
