Early Access Video: Make moldings with basic tools.
Added 2020-05-30 11:01:01 +0000 UTCFriends:
Many of us want to cap off our furniture projects with decorative moldings, but these can be expensive to buy or difficult to make. Whether you're a hand-tool or a machine-tool person, you're going to need a lot of specialized tools.
Or not!
In this video, I'm going to show you how to make 7 lovely molding profiles with just our basic Woodwork for Humans kit. Once you've got the basic techniques down, you might discover even more shapes. I'm sure I didn't cover them all.
Happy Saturday!

2020-07-01 19:09:42 +0000 UTCNo problem! You can see that I used molding to cover some less-than-amazing joints, so we all do it!

2020-06-12 13:08:34 +0000 UTCAnother great video, Rex. I just happened to be struggling with how to finish off the office desk I'm working on - you might have seen that conversation in discourse about the top - and this comes in perfectly, as I've decided the easiest way is to just put molding around to cover up my beginner mistakes! :-) I do not want to spend the money to buy all that molding, so this is great. Thx again, man!

Martin Hartley
2020-06-01 13:34:14 +0000 UTCRough it out as a series of steps then make a convex moulding stick and glue sandpaper to it. Use that to finish off the concave moulding. Other possibility is to use a dowel the diameter you want and glued sandpaper.

2020-06-01 12:18:11 +0000 UTCThat's awesome! I hope you post it over on the Discord!
Rex Krueger
2020-06-01 12:18:00 +0000 UTCWell, a few other people have done it. That's how I'll figure it out!
Rex Krueger
2020-06-01 12:16:53 +0000 UTCYou too!
Rex Krueger
2020-06-01 12:15:48 +0000 UTCYou're so welcome!
Rex Krueger
2020-06-01 12:15:43 +0000 UTCIt's true, but making it yourself seems pretty easy.

2020-06-01 12:15:35 +0000 UTCHow to get rounded concave moldings?

2020-06-01 09:56:28 +0000 UTCI am inspired to put my current project of a set of drawers for the back of my 4WD on hold once I get the frame built, and build the rabbet and grooving planes so that I can use them making the drawers. Decorative molding sounds good for my next project but I am not sure it would really fit with an overlanding 4WD.

2020-06-01 02:23:07 +0000 UTCOk, not TOTALLY traditional, but similar enough for lotso uses. The central dip would be a v instead of a curve... ok, yippee another todo list..

2020-05-31 14:47:59 +0000 UTCThanks. And the website is great, was just checking to see if there was a master list already prepared. In my short period of involvement, I have really enjoyed the videos. I am very inexperienced with woodwork and I am impressed at how well you simplify and bottom line everything while keeping an eye on the budget. Having a blast and can't wait to start the Roman Bench.

2020-05-31 13:59:52 +0000 UTCHey Brad! Welcome! I guess I suggest going through them in order. There's a playlist. I'm also going to be redesigning my website soon and I think a lot of things will be clearer then.

2020-05-31 12:58:31 +0000 UTCRex, I accidentally stumbled upon one of your youtube videos a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Started watching more and more and soon joined as a patron. Built a mallet and ready to tackle the next challenge. However, I have one request or question that is probably answered somewhere but I haven't seen it. Is there a list of the advised progression through the projects in the Woodworking for Humans? I am sure you have laid this out already but I haven't seen it and getting a little disoriented going back and forth from Youtube, RexKrueger.com and Patreon.

2020-05-31 02:22:11 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2020-05-30 23:24:22 +0000 UTCI think for that I'd need a single molding plane. A hollow. But the rest of it is doable. I'd love to see someone do it.
Rex Krueger
2020-05-30 23:23:53 +0000 UTCa biiiiig like.
Mihai Luţescu
2020-05-30 22:46:27 +0000 UTCI wonder if I can figure out how to do a traditional Crown moulding with just your home made planes. It should be possible, Just set the guideboard make a 45ﾟ guideboard in clamp it on and move it down I think time to go play

2020-05-30 16:27:18 +0000 UTCThis is very very good and helpful. Thank you again

2020-05-30 16:04:52 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the paint video. Linseed oil and paste wax is nice, but some jobs really need paint. Oh man, I can't believe how much good quality paint costs these days!
Martin Hartley
2020-05-30 12:45:17 +0000 UTCGreat video! For making your own paint I can really recommend this book: "The Natural Paint Book" by Lynn Edwards. Recipes include ones made with soured milk or eggs and of course the good old linseed oil. I tried one on an IKEA bed with really nice results, and another one even on the walls in the attic.
