Shara, I'm dog sitting and chicken sitting this weekend. So I'm a bit late watching your video. I believe everyone should develop their own style of woodworking so I don't do everything as you would BUT I can't believe how much I do do as you would. I found myself paying most attention to how you trimmed out this project because right now I'm close to trimming out my home office project. I find your use of cedar very interesting because I'm considering using it for my door fronts because it takes stain differently that the plywood I've used which hopefully would give me a nice contrast. Enjoyed seeing both Bubby and Lucy make appearances. I'm sure you'll be giving them both lots of hugs and kisses. On this project I'd advise anyone who was going to build it to purchase your plans and the hardware you used to get a rather remarkable result. Hope your having a great weekend. Thanks for Sharing!

Dog and chicken sitting sounds like quite the weekend! I am so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope the trim here gave you some neat ideas to use on your own project(s)! And about the cedar...You know the old saying--great minds think alike! But, I don't claim to have a great mind, so I'm not sure if that applies here haha. I'm sure whatever you go with on your projects will look amazing. Happy building! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

OK I love everything about it Great video, I love watching you build stuff from the comfort of my couch... The engineer in me has to comment... I could be wrong but brad nails into the front of doors that are pulled on to open offer extremely little additional strength and are really only necessary to hold the pieces for the glue to dry. Once glued, the glue is a stronger bond than the wood itself. Just my thoughts may save you a few brads and a trip to HD in the future. Clamping while the glue dried may have helped more. Armchair quarterback here. Keep making great videos, Thanks

@WoodshopDiaries Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for watching! Also, yes, the brad nails don't provide much strength--although they do provide a little. However, nailing at alternating angles will provide some additional holding power. I needed the nails for the door in the next step, anyway, plus some stain and paint trays for another project, so not a completely useless trip to town haha.

Hey, this one is sort of an amalgam of several different Woodshop Diaries design vibes... and I love it. The sliding barn door is a real space-saver and visual interest element. I personally like the little angles on the front legs... and you might think about chamfering the other three sides of the legs to help with splintering if the piece gets moved (especially since we're using our favorite SPF lumber - who sez you can't make fine furniture from 2x's). I had to watch twice... once for the build and a second time to play "spot the animals" 😁

Thank you so much! I hope the tips about the X trim come in handy one day--I've used that "trick" so many times and it saves a lot of figuring and calculations haha. I got a new video camera about 3 years ago--a Sony a6400. It took me a good while to figure out how and when and why to change the settings on it, but I think I've figured it out for the most part. I'm definitely not an expert (I don't really enjoy video, so I want to know just enough to get me by haha), and I often forget to change the settings for the morning (when the sun is shining in the shop) and the afternoon (when it's not). Other than user error (haha...me), it's a decent camera for what I do. But I'd much rather be taking still photos haha. I hope to keep the channel and website up and running as long as I can.

That is a really cool piece. I love the cedar. Did you put any finish on the cedar?

Really enjoy your videos, Ive only seen a handful, but really enjoy the knowledge you give, I have a question, I see that you use pocket hole joinery a lot, which I do as well, I don't see any glue being applied along with the pocket hole, Just a preference of yours?

I actually reference this in my latest video. In most cases with pocket hole screws, glue won't hurt, but it may or may not actually help. But it will make things much messier. I don't use glue often (I do some when it seems necessary), and a big reason is because I recycle my projects--take them apart and reuse the wood to build something else.

Is it painted white or cream/off white. Which ever still looks awesome.

Such a cool build! Did you put any kind of finish or top coat on the cedar pieces, or did you just leave them raw? Thanks.

Thanks so much! I added a coat of Minwax Helmsman on them--It probably wasn't necessary, but it helped smooth the surface out a little bit more.

Do you ever use glue where you’re using pocket screws or would this be overkill ?

@WoodshopDiaries Жыл бұрын

I do in some cases. But in most cases, it doesn’t add much of anything except a big mess to clean up during assembly. When I only use one screw at a joint, I always use glue. Otherwise, usually not.

Hi Shara hace a question you just simply used a 3/4 plywood for the top piece and edge banded?

@WoodshopDiaries 11 ай бұрын

Yep!

Just have a question for you. How come you don't build drawers with dovetail joints? Instead of pocket hole joints? The dovetail joints are stronger. And will hold up better over time. Congratulations! It is a nice functional project though.

@WoodshopDiaries Жыл бұрын

Dovetails are great. But I’ve never had a failed drawer using pocket holes either. They’re quicker, easier, and more approachable to others who are looking to build the same. There’s plenty of ways to build a drawer box and most of them work equally well for the application they’re used in 😊 thanks so much for watching!

How do you avoid pieces to move when driving pocket holes?

I have seen you use pocket hole screws on many projects with out any clamps like in this project, but I'm not sure how you do this with out the peace moving could you give some deteals on how you do this because the wood allways moves when I try that.
