  • For those saying that dowels and biscuits have no strength should actually watch the videos on stress testing between different joinery styles. It really comes down to look and intention. How clean do you want your surfaces? How long do you want it to last? Material costs play a big part in a production shop as well.

    As far as strength, I am 215 lbs and I built a small chair with nothing but glue and dowels. I can jump up and down on it with no cracking or seperating. Alignment helps too.

  • science does not back your claims on these joints being bad and weak...." Independent testing found that a pocket screw joint failed at 707 pounds when subjected to a shear load while a comparable mortise and tenon joint failed at 453 pounds – meaning that the pocket screw joint was approximately 35% stronger" other studies have shown MT to be stronger. End of the day these joints have their place even in the best furniture.

  • Not bad... I think the only I would do different is use a single notched storyboard sitck when putting in the drawer separators, rather than using the same stick as a spacer over and over.

    Good job.

  • @lexugax Haha yeah i know im a carpenter/cabinet maker. My workplace only make custom cabinets with melamine and mdf though. There are a few places that make pine wood or jarrah furnitures but all have a hefty price tag on them.

  • @d24isDURIAN As an amateur woodworker I can tell you that you can find good furniture made with real wood, but it is going to be expensive, because hard woods are expensive, and a good hand made piece of furniture requires quite a lot of work and experience to make, but also it's something that you will be able to pass down to your children if you take care of it.

  • awesome vid!

  • Its hard to find cabinets that are made of quality these days. The majority of cabinets are all made with MDF or Melamine wood. You seldom see any cabinets made of raw material now and if you do it would be quite expensive.

  • @voon100 True.

  • @wks1978 At least it's not flat pack crap.

  • @MrAtlanticstar72 Don't you wish to throw a TV instead? After all that's what all negro wants when it comes to looting.

  • Brilliant !! Just what i was after.. cheap crap easy to build- lasts for a few years and then i can throw it off the balcony onto a passing negro when im finished with it.
