Maple and mahogany Bookshelf making

Bookshelf made of maple and mahogany, wenge handles, finish - tung oil with the addition of desiccant (siccative) and dearomatized white-spirit (do not forget to properly dispose of sponges and napkins soaked in oil to avoid spontaneous combustion. That is, soak them in water or burn them). There is tea again. It also happened for the first time that when one drawer was closed, another one opened!
As usual - a lot of work with hand tools, plane, chisels and hand saw
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Regards Yurii🤗🇺🇦

Most of the woodworking channels I’ve watched have been mostly if not all power tools. Being honest I didn’t know there were woodworkers that used only hand tools. They have recently been coming to my feed. I love it! The sheer talent and artistry you have, being precise on details. As I’m watching when using your hand planner and the pieces curling up so thin I could imagine the pure satisfaction you must get from your work. My career is in making dentures. While I’m good and I get satisfaction from a job well done I have seen others with much more skill and talent. Not that I don’t constantly work at it and after 42 years I honestly am proud of the work I put out but watching this is inspiring and motivating. I just started doing a little woodworking but seeing this just thrills my soul! Thank you for sharing your talent and the beautiful work you do. Now that I’ve found you I will be watching all your videos!

There really is something so soothing and peaceful when working with hand tools! It seems the modern woodworker is enamored with machines and there is a place for them, but the satisfaction of a hand tool project is just different

Jawsome video! LOL! I appreciate your videos so much, my friend.

Watching the joinery being made is so satisfying

One of the most enjoyable woodworking videos I’ve seen on YouTube. Just the sights and sounds of your shop. The tea break and the thunderstorm were the icing on the cake. A wonderful reminder to me to be more reverent of my own work, space and craft. Thank you!

Love your hard work!! It’s just beautiful, and the best part is there were no loud noise of power tools…just the right sound…so peaceful…great video!!

[JamesWHurst]

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL presentation here -- all of it. I can only imagine the time/work/expertise this took - including your video-editing and the music-selection, etc. Thank you.

[DaveWrightKBMNM]

This is a nice change from all the other videos. Very relaxing. Getting sleepy...ooo..thunder! Even better!

There is nothing more incredible than woodworking in the rain. I hope to live in a rainy climate in the future and experience that unbelievable peace.

It's impressive that you got it air-tight like that but maybe you should put a hole in the back so one drawer isn't affected by the other.

Hi 👋, GR, That was a joy to watch, And very interesting to, Exquisite Craftsmanship, I started back in the 70s self-taught specialist jointer-cabinet maker . Restoring Fine Furniture, making tables and chairs bookcases. I injured my self and I had to go and work for a organ building company called Walkers, for 10 years, in the last 20+ years of have been making specialist doors and windows, I am English now retired living in France, I still have a lot of my tools and equipment, I do wish I was still at work,
I hope you have all the success for the future, Stay Safe, keep your tools sharp 👌, and you will be successful.
Phil from the moulin France.

Потрясающая ручная работа. Эстетическое наслаждение смотреть.

[remyvallieres]

You are a real artist! Every piece of furniture you make is just amazing! Piece of art! I watched every video you’ve made and can’t wait to see the next one! Continue to inspire us !! Thank you

[franciscoluna]

what strikes me most of your work and videos is the simplicity and minimalism of your techniques and tools. It seems all you need to make all these beautiful projects area couple of Block Planes (home made), your nice Clifton number 4, some chisels, some inexpensive Japanese saws, and look the amazing work you do! See, here in United States people have tons of expensive tools, huge shops packed with all sort of expensive machinery, they boast to know it all, but at the end you don't even see the results. We try hard to impress others with tools, nice shops, fancy workbenches, and thats all. Americans believe that buying a $20K Piano makes of you a pianist. Great work man. keep it up!

[dmtaylor]

Such great skill and patience. I stopped what I was doing and watched the whole thing, something I had not planned to do. Beautiful!

[ngiles]

WOW The beauty of the old school. Stunning work

[stephengilroy]

You are only the second ever woodworker I've ever seen get such a good fitting on a set of drawers that by pushing one in no air can escape and the second one opens, the other was a master Japanese cabinet maker well into his 70s who probably started as a young child. I can only marvel at that level of perfection

[chrisb]

Very satisfying to watch. Very peaceful, reminds me when i sit and pray. Very inpressive hand work. Thank you for sharing.
