looks good. The quarter sawn white oak you used looks much lighter than what I get here in California. Is it a different climate?
can I have your rockler hardware? lol
but seriously, can I?

Thanks Ra! Honestly its pretty hard to estimate my time in any way that might be useful to you, unless you plan to build one and film yourself while you do it. That tends to slow things down dramatically. All told it took about 2 weeks.

I’ve watched all 4 vids, and I’m impressed, and can’t wait for the day when I can build something similar.

How long all up did the project take? Like, how many days, or hours?

Thanks for being there, Teach.

Ra.

Mark,

The chest turned out beautiful, as does everything you do. Thanks for the great videos, especially this series.

Dropping everything to help another woodworker like this is a Class Act.

Thanks,
Roger

Hey Tom. When I first released the video, it was mis-labeled at part 5 when no part 5 exists. Part 4 is the last episode. You were one of the few folks that actually downloaded the video in iTunes before I fixed the wrong label. Since you already downloaded it, iTunes had no knowledge that the file was fixed.

But no worries, you are all caught up.

Wow totally missed this question Wizer. Sorry. I actually did not find any other options yet. People sent me links but I haven’t had time to run through them yet.

And the white board is for writing on. lol

Hi Marc – My episode 85 podcast in Itunes lists release date as 4/5/09 and says it is Pt. 5 – I think if you had released pt. 4 my Itunes would have downloaded it and my pt. 5 does cover the application of the finish and hardware – it is definitely the end episode – maybe this was just labelled wrong or did you have 5 parts?

Just caught up with this Marc. Great conclusion, I really think the end product is great and I like the Tansu hardware. Did you find many other options for ‘off-the-shelf’ tansu hardware? What about a pair of leather strap type clasps for the front?

Also, I have to ask. What is the purpose of the little white board by the door to the house. Nosey? Moi?

Good Luck Duane

I agree with Zac. The quality of your video is comparable to the tech ones I get from revision 3 and cnet and Leo. So keep up the good work Marc. Some of the woodworking ones just don’t get have the quality of production that the content deserves. In fact some of them are unwatchable.
