Walnut and copper. Arguably, one of the best combinations in furniture. What are your thoughts? Maybe brass instead of copper? Either way, I think adding a touch of metal gives just the right amount of bling to a project. And soft metals like copper, brass and aluminum can be cut with your standard woodworking tools, so you don’t need any special equipment.

So, the big question is…do you prefer curved lines over angular or straight lines? Countless studies have been done on this topic for centuries and the research unequivocally shows that people prefer curvature over rectilinear shapes as they tend to be more beautiful and calming.

  • @jimryan3960

    I notice you didn't dampen the receiving piece when gluing up the lamination, which Gorilla glue requires. Was this because it was already damp from being soaked in the PVC pipe? I have also heard platic resing glue is used, but it seems to need hand mixing which concerns me because if you mix wrong it might be compromized. Any thoughts appreciated. Also, what you built is just amazing!

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking 2 дня назад

      Correct - there was enough moisture in the wood already for the polyurethane glue to cure. It only needs a spritz. And I've never worked with the 2-part powdered urea glues like Unibond 800, but I have used epoxy which is a 2-part mix and it works great - much more open time.

    • @jimryan3960

    • @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking
      @KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking 13 дней назад

      Unfortunately, if it’s something that will be constant exposed to the oils on your fingers, the pulls will tarnish over time, which I kind of like. You could spray it before install with a lacquer, which may protect it longer. You can keep them looking fresh using sunshine polishing cloths.
