came out great!! well done!
Love all the white oak builds you’ve done, as well as every, freaking, thing else you build. Great work as always. 👍👍
Beautiful!
When are you getting a saw stop?? 😉
𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕞 🤘
Oh no, you don’t have a $1500 Festool Domino joiner? But how will I, average Joe YouTube watcher, know that you’re a serious professional woodworker? No man, great job. Simple explanations and good videography.
Another fantastic build. This is fine wood working at it’s finest.
Seeing your baby, a video about good solid wood furniture with a lid that is heavy, had me hoping you built in a safety measure to save their fingers. :/
Lovely build 🙂
Awesome job! That looks great!
You do simply amazing work. Very admirable of all your work and videos.
what was that you spread over the top and sides then buffed off, grain filler? Looked like that little clear screw or drill guide for the hinges gives you an overhang, how much do you have across the front and back??
Great build and video👍
Very well done, love that white oak
Love it
Супер
I was wishing I had a nice jointer like you…and a planer. 😅 thank you for sharing. I am making a crib for a grand baby and you’re giving me lots of ideas. I’ll also make a matching chest
Another great video and awesome build. I just read a comment from someone saying they are glad you actually build things in your videos. I feel the same way. Thank you! I am appreciative of the dowling method you use. Pocket holes are okay in their proper place, and not everyone can afford (or wants) a Festool Domino Joiner. Thanks again.
Hola amigo, un placer como siempre ver tus videos, trabajos, siempre me inspiras a seguir aprendiendo, un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Someone told me about your channel a while ago but I mixed your channel with another one and basically just started watching. I’m loving your builds. A good binge watch is in my future.
It is not a Rabbit it is a Re bate my god you Yanks can not speak English.
I just found your channel and can’t believe the amazing content I have been missing out on! You do amazing work and can’t wait for more videos!
I’m just finishing up the dresser from your plans (thought I made a couple small changes). Need to ask if he wants a toy box to match, or if he still wants a big boy bed to match his dresser.
I’m looking at using those hinges soon. The back of the chest is flush with the outside of the legs, is that because the hinges wouldn’t work with a set-back/reveal on the back? If so I’ll have to see about a bevel or something to allow the top to open. Looks great, John.
Another great video! I really appreciate your channel…you make awesome stuff without all the ads and other garbage. The other thing I appreciate is that you actually BUILD stuff. So many other YouTubers don’t build anything anymore…just pitch products or the same “tips” that everyone else has done a video for too. Your channel is pure quality. Thanks!
Very nice…..curious about the total cost of materials….?
Tip: Cut copes first, profile removes tearout, otherwise you need a reverse backer board for 1/2 of them 👍🏻. Good job.
Wow, it turned out beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your process and the beautiful toy box.
What thickness did you plane the panels down to?
So beautiful!! He will enjoy this toy box for years to come!! Stay safe!!
Great build. I appreciate no corny outtakes.
Just imagine you were able to build without festool and sponsorship.
Great job, thanks for sharing. Nice shop setup .
Love your videos and awesome build like always!
Beautiful build.
Beautiful work, as always.
Good Job
How long did this project take? Very nice
Is this video actually for carpetners who have personal factory at home?All those machines i dont even know names,tables,tools..i taught there are videos for ordinary people who want to make "simple,easy" project..🤔😒
Wow!! Nice build. I’m subscribed after watching this video.
Love that you used the drill press….simple and effective. Nice job john!
Another awesome project 👊🏻 keep up the great work
Nice

Thank you for including the glue scraping.
John, how do you like the Delta Cruzer miter saw?
Will this work for outdoor patio storage?
I really wanna build this now. I just finished your crib plan.
Another great build job. I’d be very interested in a workshop tour. Esp those Milwaukee tool boxes at 2:07 and what you think of them and how you kitted them out.
Beautiful build as always!! Can’t wait for your next project!
I browsed the internet high and low for a build exactly like this a few months ago and couldnt find it. I ended up throwing my own plan together but definetly wish I would have seen this first for a few changes. Very similar to what I did tho.
