How would you go about making this fancier for higher end customers?
Love how you showed your mistakes.
What type of 1x6s you used.
Kl
I finished my 2 they look great! Thanks for the plans!
Evening! Question about material count. The plans call for five 1x6x10 for end table. I sat down and streamlined a cut list to reduce waste and if my math is correct, it only takes two and half 1x6x10 boards?
Hey matt, Whats the tooth count on the table saw blade you use?
I appreciate the video which helps a beginner like myself. After purchasing the plans, I think the BOM needs revised, I noticed item "D" and "E" lengths may need to be swapped? I could be wrong Thank you again!
About how much board ft do i need for this?
As many others have commented, love your down to earth approach and explanations and humor.. Definitely a huge help. Your video make every step seem easy. Keep up the great work.
I’ve watched a few videos so far. Awesome channel. But I’d like to know in the videos what type of lumber you’re using. SPF? Knotty pine? Cedar?
For Example, this video? Are those 1×6 knotty pine?
Hey Matt. These are awesome and I bought the plans. I have built the coffee table but think you have a typo in the plans for the coffee table in the cut list. You call out Label B as the top side rails and they are 5 1/2 by 12 but the bottom side rails E are called out as 2 1/2 x 11 1/2. The top and bottom rails have to be the same length. Label C and D also have the same issue. If you assemble per the plans, the rail heights are incorrect and the lower table will not fit correctly
Great tutorial for the drawer, I hate installing those
"sneak up on the cut" might be my new favorite phrase
Enjoy your videos. Nice to listen to someone that isn’t too full of themselves. Keep up the good work. Thanx-.
Yeah can use that idea when I able to get it done 👍..thank you for sharing your skills an knowledge..
How would you recommend to do wood to size without a table saw? All I got is a miter saw and a couple drills
I used to live in Valdosta, GA and my vet could pass for your twin brother.
Hey Matt. I made all the cuts per your plans and I only used three of the five 1x6x10’s. Am I missing something? I have two boards left over.
How much can you sell it for?
Hi Matt. I recently subscribed to your channel. On the top, how do the boards stay flat without using c channels? Thanks
How many 1×6 did it take to build that ?
Hey Matt. I just completed this table after purchasing your plans, but I only needed 2.5 1x6x10’ boards; not 5. Also, I think there might be a mix up on your measurements on the side pieces. Mixed them up. Anyways, it turned out great and I used the same paint scheme you and I both used on the Country Coffee table so they match. Wife loves it too. And I have two boards left over now to build something else. Love your ideas. Thanks.
Quick question… I know why the tabletop needs the Z clips, but why doesn’t the bottom shelf need similar room for wood expansion?
The only thing I wanted to know was about the Drawer and he doesn’t show it
It appears that you got the D and E pieces mixed up. I had to redo those after they dried. I think I got it right now but thought you should know.
Good technique and I love using the 1 x 6. Look at Ana Whites method for installing drawer slides and drawers. It works so easy. Up here in MO if you need some timber from here on the farm.
Dude you rock, love your videos since you actually explain what to do…keep up the good work!
Great instructional thanks! Curious though. You keep referring to a Tuba-six. What’s a Tuba-six, because I may have played one in Junior High band.
I just built a set of these and used barnwood pieces for the top and bottom shelf covered in resin and they look amazing!
With this info and video…..
I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! BWA HAHAHAHAHA
Hey Matt. I think the 11.5” measurement you listed in the cut list for the bottom (E) side rails is incorrect. It should be 12” just like (B). I came up short and had to recut.
Just finished my nightstands, and they turned out great! I used three pieces of rebar evenly spaced across each side, rather than the "X" and stained with deeper gray, sanded, then some brown, sanded, followed by transparent gray. It turned out very nice (wish I could post a photo). God bless.
Love your videos…I am new here found this video by accident… now I am going to watch them all
Black Lives Matter
What does a set of those cost
Do you still use pocket holes to do the tops and bottoms or just glue?
17:02 – Looks like it will fall over if you don’t hold it..
How do you like the rigid brad nailer?
Ok, I’m slow but I don’t see any plans, cut list or material list in the description….
Matt what would you sell this for?
Safety question. It looks like the delta cruiser literally throws a ton of cutoff debris right at your face every chop you make. Not safe on camera perspective. 2:07 & 2:25 examples. Looks like you lean away from it as you cut. How do you feel about this over other brands in terms of user safety?
When building these, how much thought do you out in to wood type for your projects? Most look like pine.
Well if you cut the legs at 24” when you put the top on now it’s a 25” table.
I cracked up when you said pocket hole haters turn your head😄 I’m almost finished making my table. You put together a very good video. Much appreciated. 😊
Just bought the plans for this build and I’m gonna be building 2 of them. I just finished up building a farmhouse coffee table and a couple end tables to match it will look awesome! I’m still a noob/intermediate and I’ve been doing woodworking for almost a year now and I’ve been subscribed to your channel since I started. Thank you for a good descriptive detailed video and the plans
do you poly before or after assembly? Just curious. Thanks for the video, gonna purchase plans. Looking forward to the project.
“How ever big I need it” Best line!
Is a 1 ba 6 sort of the same as a 2 ba 4?
Man I love your videos! I love woodworking! I just started but ive always worked with my hands framing and such doing finish work is awesome! Keep influencing people like myself to get out there and build it!
