I was in need of some new nightstands for the bedroom, and I figured why not make them float right off the wall? And why not make them match the valet stand I made earlier? This video shows you how to make some fantastic-looking floating nightstands that are actually very simple to assemble. This is a great beginner to intermediate project for the hobby woodworker and my step-by-step plans on my website make it even easier!

How do you not have a million subs? Between the quality of the projects. the detail of the procedures, and the hilarious commentary, you're way better than most of the other makers on YT. Good job Drew!

@FishersShop 7 ай бұрын

Thanks, I appreciate that! A lot of work goes into each video. But I guess to answer your question, I don't release videos fast enough to keep momentum and grow faster. That, or YT hates me. Could be both.

Whenever you pulled the stud finder out, I quietly hoped you would make the obvious joke. I was not disappointed. Thank you. Now that you have these excellent, black walnut floating nightstands, you now also need an excellent, black walnut, fourposter bed frame to go with them.

As usual Drew a Cracking video from you those two Floating Nightstands look beautiful, i always enjoy watching your videos both what you are making and the funny commentary that you do, oh, and of course the Outtakes which i had to laugh at the one with the CA Glue with the bit of dirt/dust, plus the last one where your wife was standing there and the sheer look of shock on your face, like you had been caught with your Neighbours reading material (shall we say) which you found on his porch, while you were leaving him your other Nightstands, was just a classic.

You know what I recommend for filling small gaps. Apply some poly where the gaps are and sand with higher grit like 220+ without the vacuum on. The dust bonds to the poly and fills the gaps. Poly won’t stay on the surface. It’s super fast and works great. Don’t be shy with the poly. Make sure it’s worked into the gaps very well.

Hi Drew, love the channel! One thing I wanted to request that I've seen done elsewhere... If you're able to include a list of the tools you use in your description it would be awesome. I know you do for sponsored tools, but I really mean listing every tool. I'll often see some little square or other small tool and think "that's cool, where do I get one of those?" Would be awesome to have a list included in each video description. Keep up the good work!

Hey Mr. Fisher, I watched a guy using a routing table loose his Left Index finger. It happened in an instant. Fortunately one of his co-workers was near by (I was not close at all, being in another department in the shop) & got him to where he could be taken to the hospital for a repair. He lost the finger & he adjusted. After what happened, safety protocols were examined & modified so this wouldn’t happen again. Just thought I’d let you know. That was in 1973.
