Paul Timberman's Workshop: Curio Cabinet
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Paul Timberman welcomes viewers back to his woodworking show to finish a pine curio cabinet. His confident instructions on securing shelves and using safety equipment give way to increasingly disastrous encounters with his tools. A break for his own nail-gun commercial offers little relief. Bloodied but determined to complete the demonstration, Paul returns to show off the finished cabinet before his composure finally gives out.

Once that screw's in, it's in.

hi there. Welcome to Paul Timberman's Workshop. I'm Paul Timberman. Today we're going to be finishing up the shelves on that white pine curio cabinet that we started last week. So, let's get at her.

You know, white pine is just a wonderful woman of a wood, a real fine country lady. So you're going to want to be sure to take your time and be gentle. I like to reinforce the joints with these three-quarter inch wood screws. Now, I'm gonna place a screw right on the tip of the drill like this here and position it on the side of the shelf like so.

Now, when you're doing this, you want to keep the shelf real steady because once that screw's in, it's in.

Okay, I think...

Okay, I think you get the idea. Let's go over and make us a top shelf. But first, I'm gonna put on my safety goggles. Now, I can't tell you how many letters I get from folks who've injured their eyes due to a nasty chip of wood or whatnot flying in there. Now, I got a 10-inch wide board, and I'm gonna split it right down the middle. Now, here we

go. All right, now you see why these goggles are so important, because you've got to keep your eyes on the wood at all times. You can't be looking up here, because...

For the purpose of time, I'm going to cheat a bit to show you the finished jewelry. This is just great for showing off little knick-knacks or touching family momentum. And I'm sure you'll agree, this is the perfect piece for the living room or a child's bedroom. And it's not only functional, but it's something beautiful to look at.
