Happy birthday, Mike! Lovely shelf. I'm sure that your wife will appreciate the sartorial elegance of beer steins and bowling pins. And, lovely shelf, by the way!
Thank you very much.
MIke, lovely work as always. Great to see you in Fine Woodworking, as well!
Thank you very much.
The inside of it makes a good hiding place for valuables. 💰💸
Thats a good idea.
3:01 stealthy Dad joke... nice 🏌♂️🌌
Ha! Thank you.
I like the gold pin & the beat up USBC pin in the beginning. Once I get my shelves done, I've got one wall dedicated to my collection of pins, awards & bowling related pictures. BTW, good instruction, thanks
Thank you. That was the 4 pin from my first 299 game.
@@MikeFarrington after I commented, I thought it was from a 299 but thinking a stone 10 lol
I'd love to make a shelf like this, but I don't have a motorcycle. Nice photos in the shop and out on the road!
Possibly my favorite comment of all time.
@@MikeFarrington And you still didn't "like"/"thumbs up" it?
@@smattt Not sure where you got your info, but I did give it a thumbs up.
My bad then. Thought viewers could always see if the creator liked a comment cos if the red-heart icon showing up when liked. Guess that's not always true?
@@smattt lol, you policed him right? He commented under it saying that he loved it. It's good enough brother. You don't have to jump on him, it's all love.
I laughed at the "tight like a tiger" comment way too much 😂
Ha! Thank you.
Excellent trade craft and video. Need to place on shelf a picture of “The Dude” from the movie “The Big Lebowski” 🙃
Thank you. That would be a nice addition to this shelf for sure.
There is no such thing as bad lumber. Only inadequate plans. Great job.
I like that. Good one. Thank you.
One of the greatest woodworking quotes I have seen ever! Thank you Sir! Yesterday I was amazed at how water always finds a way around an obstacle, so too with wood if you give it time and thought
10/10. The only negative I can think of is if a burglar broke in they might think it has a hidden drop down compartment and tear the shelf off the wall. Yes it is a bit of a stretch but I have a mind that never shuts off.
Thank you.
smooth like peanut butter
Ha! I like that.
Nice gaps on those bevels! Those are always tricky!
Thank you.
I like it when you state the obvious (like putting the knot to the top) because for beginners its not obvious until it's too late! So... Sending you a great big thanks! 💖🌞🌵😷
I think those might be my favorite tips cause anyone can use them.
Great build, extremely shallow cleat angle, glad you reinforced with screws
Thank you. Yeah, thats normally about half what I do.
Great work and good work incorporating the Young Frankenstein & Goldmember references!
Ha! Thank you.
Whatever one's creed or faith, or lack thereof, an annual retreat is good for the soul and brings you closer to the divine. It's not about getting 'away', it's about getting closer. I always love watching you work and I enjoyed seeing your route as well. Very cool.
Well said. Thank you.
New Yank…”The Boardroom” 🙌🏻
Ha!
Happy Belated Birthday Mike!
Thank you Nate.
The majesty of blue tape? who is this guy?
I'm me.
"Abby Normal"! I do believe that was the name.... Classic! New level of respect for you for dropping that line!
Frau Blücher
@@williammoore4101 lol! I know what I'm watching tonight!
Haha! Such a great movie.
You telling yourself to shut up after the celebration of draining the tape ball from downtown, absolutely classic Great work mate!
Ha! Thank you.
Beautiful work. Thank you for the video.
Thank you! Cheers!
Good idea with the power feed!
Thank you. Its a helpful tool.
this shelf looks sick
Thank you.
Nice job and very jealous of the cycle ride!!
Thank you. Its a very nice ride up there.
Excellent!! Oh ,on a side note ,South Dakota is beautiful!
It sure is!
Beautiful Indeed
Thank you.
Wow. The fact that you have great technique, the best dad jokes on the internet, and have responded to almost, if not, every comment under this video... subscribed.
Thank you. Great to have you onboard. I do my best to respond to all comments.
I hope you enjoyed you're time in the hills! SD is a beautiful place to live.
Thank you. It may be one of my favorite place. The thought of building a home up there has crossed my mind more than once.
Probably the best 15 minutes of my life 👍
Wow, thank you.
Oh, like the LACK from IKEA. Nice job Mike. And Beastie Boys never gets old.
Thank you.
Best sense of humor on youtube.
Thank you.
Had to pause the video to for this one!.... GREAT SONG RECOMMENDATION 🎵 🤖💿
Ha! Good call.
Dakota is a cool vacation spot huh? Oh and nice job on the ancient bowling presentation project, they offset your German Beer Jugs nicely...
Agreed, such a beautiful place. Thank you.
This is like meditation for me - the calming shots from your motorcycle trip combined with your voiceover and editing style are appreciated. Oh, great floating shelf as well.
Thank you very much.
@@MikeFarrington Hey Mike! quick tip. It's a lot more handy if you position your piece sideways when doing scribers, in such a way that you can actually see what you're doing with your planer. Great video!
Good example of a finish project with less than stellar lumber.
Thank you.
AWESOME JOB MIKE!!!
Thanks!!
Great job ,thanks 👍🏴
Thank you.
Crooked wood made straight, then made crooked again to match the wall and turns out looking straight. Good job.
Thank you.
Looks great now I've been given a work order
Ha! Get to work!
Nice! Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks
Thank you.
Dad jokes... yes, well you have dad shorts and dad socks too. Haha, great project and video!
I'm the complete package when it comes to dad jokes.
I don't know why it tickled me so much when you said that your wife, "put in a work order". 😂
Ha! Thank you.
Abby Normal is my favorite scene from Young Frankenstein. The shelf looks very nice, and every digression in the video was interesting.
That really is a good scene, how it escalates is brilliant.
A work order haha Fantastic work!
Yes! Thank you!
Good work, Mike.
Thank you.
The blue tape on the compass scriber....Genius!!!
Thank you. Thats a good tip for sure.
New Yankee back on the air?! Mike Farrington as host!? Sold!
I wish.
Good stuff Mike. I like the cut of your jib 😀
Thanks 👍
It looks as if you just dragged a volume of wood into the corner. Gives it a contemporary-modern style. I like seeing the monster jointer machine in the background holding the heavy frame boxes to the big bench.
Thank you. I bought that jointer with the idea that I would restore it. I got it working, and I don't like it. It has a smooth grind on the table which creates more friction than I can to push against. My current jointer has planed tables, they are a joy to work with. So eventually I will sell the project.
I appreciate any reference to Young Frankenstein.
Great movie.
Enjoy your videos...Great workmanship ! From Western Pa.
Awesome! Thank you!
Country Roads.... Take me Home --- To the Place ... Mikes Workshop !
Love it. That was one of my Dads favorite songs.
Mike no Project is too small I love watching all yours and your entertaining comentary and humor along the way brightens my day in and out of my shop Keep making videos ans Sawdust .
Thank you Jonathan.
Looking good Mike 👍
Thanks 👍
Happy Birthday emoji!!! South Dakota is a beautiful state. First time I rode my motorcycle there, I was fighting a side wind for a couple hours……Totally worth it.
Thank you. I head out onto the plains frequently with my motorcycle. Wind is certainly ever-present.
LOOKS GREAT!!
Thank you.
South Dakota is a beautiful state.
I agree.
without a doubt the best woodworker on the Tube. Thanks for another great project and song recommendation
Thank you very much.
Hi Mike, great project and perfectly done. And thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures from South Dakota
How can anyone dislike your vids? The foresight to angle your drill when pre-drilling those holes ... brilliant. Love the (mostly) self-documenting landscape shots as well.
Thank you. Everyone has their own opinion.
I'm from South Dakota. I love seeing the Homeland in your videos 😁
Thats a beautiful part of the world.
Excellent, as one might expect....
Thank you.
I definitely want to get into doing floating shelves as I get better at the basics. This one is something to strive for...
Thank you. They really add something nice to a room.
@@MikeFarrington The possibilities seem endless with floating shelves, including different install methods. I have some black poplar slabs drying (so far it's been 9 months - not quite there yet) and one of them is a bit narrow. I will be ripping it down the middle and turning it into floating shelves.
@@RobDucharme Agreed. Sounds like it will make a nice shelf.
You did exceedingly well, Sir! And thank you for interlude of lake scenes, beautiful country sides etc. The day you come to Johannnesburg let me know, you deserve free accommmodation while you tutor me on basic woodworking for as long as you want. Once again, well done and thank you boss! I could have liked this 10k times💯/💯
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much!
Now I have even more respect for you knowing you ride a motorcycle! What a beautiful part of the country to explore on a ride. As usual a clean and tidy build and install! I wouldn't expect anything less! Happy birthday!
Thank you very much. I've been totally in love with motorcycles for 25 years now. It is a very neat area for sure.
Nice work. I always pick up a little something from your videos. You'll know your dad jokes are getting through, when you daughters start making them too. I am a proud papa.
Thank you. Lets see if the little one starts copying me.
Great job Mike!!!!
Thank you.
Very nice work. Ilike to add a bit of sawdust/glue mixture to the 45 corners to fix my crummy cutting ability. Then finish off the 45s with a burnishing...
Great tip!
You are The Dude!
Right on man.
Well.. you did an excellent work... very nice ..
Thank you! Cheers!
Very Smart. Good For Me. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done Master Farrington, you had the force with you to straighten the wood....
Ha! Thank you.
It was nice to see you safely avoiding using the camera while riding the motorcycle, but I would still have loved to see more shots of the motorcycle, and you riding it.
Thank you. I always go on a spring trip too, I'll collect more footage then.
Mike, Best floating shelf vid on the tube !! And done correct "thumbs up"
Thank you.
You are now entitled to a “Shmoke und a Pancake” or a “bong und a blintz” your choice.
Though, choice.
I didn't know South Dakota could look so good!
That is one of my most favorite places.
Nice shelf
Thank you.
Nice work Nor...I mean Mike :) And Happy Birthday!
Haha! Thank you.
Nice job mike! Good to see you got out on the gs too!
Thank you. Two wheel therapy is needed a couple times a year.
Looks great. I expect nothing less from a man such as yourself.
Thank you.
The shelf turned out great! And beautiful footage from your road trip! My favorite Beastie Boys tune is Sabotage! The video is awesome!
Thank you. Thats a great tune as well.
Awesom shef, thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Nicely done
Thank you.
As always..."Well Done!" (and you can..."quote" me)
Thank you!
Again great Mike! Very nice
Thank you.
Very nice as always! I was hoping for a shot of the bike…nice camera shots!
Thank you.
Beautiful
Thank you.
Great work and demonstration. Will try out using your method. Cheers Atin
Thank you! Cheers!
Top notch as usual!!
Thank you.
A nice clean design for important memorabilia, Mike.
Thanks Phil.
Nice shelf!
Thanks!
Great song!!
Thank you.
Well done!
Thank you.
Bravo, Mike. In my house, the personal decorating effects would last less than a nanosecond!!! lol
Same, I don't even think the camera had cooled.
The shelf turned out beautiful! I'm amazed at how you were able to use those warped boards to make something so straight and nice. Looks like you had a fantastic bike trip......gorgeous scenery, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much.
It s the clever bevel ish details on the wall mounting strip and counterpart, that will make me to leave away the metal mounting profiles next time and try all wood again.
Thank you.
Well done project and video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Those wind farms do wonders for the landscape..
Ha!
Very Nice work.. Loved the road trip shots.. some beautiful country.
Thank you.
