I saw Erik Curtis wearing short shorts and drinking AG1, so I bought short shorts and AG1.

First sponsorship segment I haven't skipped in - well - forever.

You should set up a companion channel called ENBackyard Woodworking for those of us without access to professional woodworking equipment but have back yards. I am sure it would be a money maker, if you are interested in that sort of thing 😊

Best sponsorship segment I have seen in a long time! Well done mate! Active greens should be very happy with that!

Love "build with what you got - real world" projects. Appreciate your "non-snooty" approach to methods like glue-on edge banding and "Norm Abram biscuits" to get the job done :). Proof again that the maker is far more important to beauty and quality than the woodworking equipment available. Thanks!

Slotting the whole shelf with a biscuit joiner is genius! Always great to get tips for tools that would otherwise have limited usage

Dude, I was seriously watching this and then the nutricion part started, almost pissed my pants laughing, freakin brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You should definitely make this a series for people with less than ideal tools.

As a guy with a single car garage as his workshop, who also parks a car in said garage, learning how to use outdoor space with basic tools is a must! Love this content

I had to pause mid video for this but I have to say, most people don't like commercials but they was Superbowl level Great Job!

I hated when KZfaqrs saying stuff like, ‘I used this $80,000 Dragon Slayer’s joinery magic wand but you can use a circ saw and dowel 🤷’ .This video showed me actually how a job is done with DIY level tools combined with some creativity and well planned executions. Now I learned that I can make decent stuff once I get a biscuit joiner.

Really like the little Q&A with your friend, of why biscuits, why a zero clearance!

Well folks, That is how it is done!! Short shorts and a bit of 80s nostalgia for the win!… oh and nice cabinet

Great basic cabinet build. Used this one to show my wife how I'm going to build our new kitchen. Explained it 50 times but this video did it in 1. Thanks mate 😆

Probably the best AG1 sponsor ad I've seen on KZfaq. The woodwork was pretty awesome too

As others noted, that slot tip is top slef! Oh, do more videos with your friend. She has a great sense of humor; you balance each other.

LA? Running around in a t-shirt in November. Must be nice. We got an inch of snow overnight. I won't be working outside anymore this year. Not that I can't, I am the son of a well driller and worked to finish a well in six inches of snow 50 years ago. But I'm retired and don't have to. I'll add that her she shed seems very well equipped and supplied with clamps.

This video was awesome. I have every tool in the world BUT I use the excuse “I need a new tool to be able to do that”, to justify new stuff. The biscuits attaching the shelves is dynamite ❤ Kristie is purrtey

Come for the woodworking and stay for the commercials! Nice job!

Yeah, I’ve seen a few good sponsor segue, but a montage to defeat your nemesis in pickleball is another level. Fantastic. The music got me pumped and invested.

And that's why they call it a busman's holiday! Keep on rolling!

Best sponsored ad I have ever seen 🤣. I just subscribed to your channel because of it 😍

Thankyou very much for this vid, as one of the many who have a fairly basic set of tools this showed some very good tips and what's possible with basics.

This series has been fantastic. I loved the 80's montage with pickleball happy feet. Great way to start my Sunday.

Enjoyed the video. Your friend, Christy was a delightful addition.

Hmm,I never considered using the biscuit joiner for a sliding shelf install. Handy tip👍

You rocked the pickle ball fashion.

Haha I was done starting @ 6:18! 😂😅😂 Im here for the woodworking comedy show. I enjoyed seeing this other side of you, boo. Made my Saturday night. 😅😊❤

You should get out of the shop more often! That AG1 commercial was hilarious 😂

As someone who recently went all in on woodworking as a hobby AND found love in pickleball, this is my favorite video ever.

‘I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make content while out on the West Coast.” Makes content weekly. Lol. Love your schtick. Keep it up. You should have 10x the following.

10:00 That cutting board needs some love.

@ENCurtis That biscuit alignment method for the shelves -- sliding it in -- was just brilliant, never seen that method before and will certainly incorporate it into my "I don't have a Domino" arsenal of tips and tricks! Great build.

Loved that AG1 spot!!!!! 🤣

This has the best AG1 add in any video I have seen haha

If somebody puts that much effort into making you laugh with a sponsorship segment, it goes from whatever to funny and deserving of respect. 😆👍

Is it wrong if I watch this completely through just one more time.. the music speaks to my soul. Oh , nice job on the project as well.

I can totally relate. Back in the day I used to build custom kitchens in the clients garage. you can absolutely make them look as good as shop built with a contractors table saw and basic tools. if I needed a 23-5/16 cabinet that's what I made I rarely made fillers. I recently went back and visited an old client 20 years later and the cabinets looked like the day I left them. I now have a shop full on cnc equipment but the DIYer can do this for sure and you're not cut any corners.

Always enjoy your content and love how you use basic tools to achieve a great result, we are never too cool for school and any tip learned is a good one. Hi from a 60 year old joiner from England.

Thanks for building something that didn’t involve a domino! The common man can afford a biscuit jointer! Also, took me a minute to realize you were doing an ad! 😂 hilarious!

While a training montage and woodworking aren't the first thing I think of together, I loved it lol

Your partner in crime is hilarious. Good team. I hope to see more collaborations between you two.

That groove in the shelves with the biscuits was slick! Never thought about doing it that way.

Wow. I never knew I needed a throat plate or a pink headband. Seriously tho. I’m down with the pink dude 🤙

I don’t know what is more entertaining, the video or the ad read…keep up the great work!!!

dude- i would never have thought of using a biscuit cutter like that- cool!

Blessings Eric, loved the humour with the info add.🤣😂 Cabinet looks good. Cheers from West Aus. 🇦🇺

as an owner of a rigid jobsite saw... be glad it was the "heavy half inch" and not the 1/8in metal ones

Wow Mr. Prius Man gone Hollywood, who would have thought that. Seriously, Erik, nice work with limited tools. Your friend will be proud to show it off. Semper Fi bud, real nice.

Not sure if I want AG1 any more than ai did before, maybe less, but genius idea to build a vanity for a vanity. It looks really great!

Fun fact for Christie: "biscuit" is the Anglish word for cookie. I know, a biscuit is something you put gravy on, but the Britons have done crazy things with our language. 😉

Okay You ruined my excuse. I told my son I would build him a kitchen sink and dishwasher cabinet but couldn't because my laguna tools robland x31 (a 5hp saw planer jointer shaper) was in storage 3 hours away and I only had my bosch contractor saw and dewalt planer and a ton of framing tools but my cabinet making stuff was in storage. Obviously I was lying to myself and making excuses especially since all my own cabinets for my old place were made with a circular saw and router (not even a track saw) At least I know my son and his roommates will have a good Christmas and new sink and cabinet soon. Thank you for all your.videos and getting me off my fat butt.

I have a biscuit joiner and have yet to use it. You’ve inspired me.

Thanks for these videos. I work out of a 10x10 canopy, and this gives me a little more confidence.

Great build! Outstanding idea cutting a continuous slot to slide that shelf into place! And, tripping over the pickle ball net was the cherry on top! Cheers!

You can sing bro!!!! 👌

I liked watching this build man, it kinda gave me hope with my utterly tiny shop! Oh and yeah, I kinda think the little lady is in to ya man!

Such a great, motivational video. Made me feel like I can take on the world. One pair of shorts and one AG1 filled shaker bottle at a time. PS. Loved the cabinet build too. 🙌

13:45 oh, the zen of sanding!

Great build and great video as always Erik. I love the biscuits. They get a bad rap undersevdly so. Awesome Ratchet and Clank poster 👍

Absolutely great video as always love the AG1 sponsor add was the best and the cabinet turned out great

Recently had a melamine project and used a zero clearance insert but still had some chip out that shows more than I'd like when edge banding was on. Finally got absolutely perfect cuts with zero chip out by raising blade just to do a 1-3mm scoring cut, then raising blade to height and repassing again for through cut... Was a little laborious dropping and raising blade with each cut, but a lot less than the effort and time to repair chip outs ;)

Got 'er dun! Nice! Thank you both for posting these. Take care & stay safe.

Definitely an upvote for the obscenity near the end, even if bleeped out. I can relate.😁

Great ad bit and really enjoyed the vid. Made me smile and I learned a new trick for my biscuit joiner!

Good series. Thanks

Good and practical project.

The sponsorship segment should get you a Webby or Youby or whatever they call it! Dude, as us hockey guys say “You’re a beauty!”

Enjoyed all of this, great humour and my mild ocd goes like that

Hahahahahaa😂😂😂😂😂 6:06 i rarely watch sponsorship but this was funny

Ha! That was like watching a woodworking challenge game show! Nicely done!

Another enjoyable 'Down-n-Dirty' video. Loved the montages, almost as good as a David Chappell slow-walk. Your friend seems like a good sport, so I'll forgive her for not having any adhesive backed zero insert tape on hand.

Ok I stopped at 5:35 to write, THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD

I used to run a custom cabinet shop and now i'm an engineer for many cabinet shops. Woodworking has solely been paying my bills for 10 years. My first profitable business model was using very few affordable tools with high skill to remodel people's homes... Similar to what you did here. Nothing wrong with that. On another note, if you have the right blade like a 90 tooth -5 degree atb blade, then uou dont need to change your throat plate. Of course your throat plate will wear over time but if you just get the correct blace for the job then you just need to make sure the blade doesnt get too dull.

That Ad though 😆

Absolutly fantastic your video. Thank you for it.

As a new subscriber I'm finding myself catching up on your content with my morning java. I believe that when you retire from Woodworking and Custom Furniture you'll always have a future in stand up comedy. Please take this as a compliment.

I'm curious on what little things (like clamps or the right angled jig) you added to The She(D) for you to do this at the level you did. I don't see her already having a biscuit joiner for basic DIY. You are leaving her with more capabilities for later. As with others, I liked the training montage. While it was obviously the sponsored portion, it was still a pleasure to watch.

Excellent adaptation to the situation. And yes, the gods of bathroom cabinetry require that existing cabinetry either be modified or removed for almost all projects. Nothing makes working with plywood more productive than a zero clearance insert. I still cringe when I think about all those years I thought blue tape would help.

Look like that fence has seen some blade action. Great work. Give a howler if you need tools or help.

The MUSIC played in this video ROCKS! Where can I find this music??? 🥰 The short guitar riffs while he works. 13:04 and 15:30.

Loved this type of DIY video!!

I’ll make it shortly: Nice work and really fun to watch👍 thanks! Congratulations on the shoutout by Mark btw🙂

Great use of the space and a very unique design!

I woodwork out side but my nicest tool is a Thicknesser or track saw I don’t have a table saw or miter saw.

The Rocky montage was worth the price of administration to watching this video, even if it is free to watch

Catch the chicken, Rocky!!

Cool shed build 👍 I think you can drag cut (if I got it right about what you call drag cut) with this Makita but you have to remove the 2 rubber pads before ;)

Don't forget to support your fibers folks

I saw you on the netflix show instant dream home!

Outstanding job all around Erik! The training montage was on point!

Really useful content, funny, down to earth love the pacing!

Nicely done Eric,just goes to show what can be done with limited power tools. Also really impressed that a young lady has useful tools in her shed, so not just a pretty face. Thanks for the video.👍👍

Looks great! Nice job 🎉

Skilled, confident, fit, ambitious. My boy must be 5’5” to end up with her. Hypergamy is destroying the west.

Those shorts 🔥

I love how someone felt the need to place a giant round sticker on that Ziploc bag to let you know that it's a "resealable package". 😂

thank you EN. great work

Great job working with backyard tools. It's said in golf " that it's not the arrow but the archer". Still wondering why you didn't get at least a new table saw blade. Guess you really like that lady...

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Mrs. Erin Geraci
