Early American is one of my all time favorites and most used stain colors. It just a classic. Your grandpa picked a good go to stain color haha. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend!!

Thank you so much! Black accents are my favorite 😍 modern, clean, and industrial-ish haha. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you! It’s such a versatile piece! I really enjoyed building it 😊

Thank you so much! I love that it’s versatile enough to use almost anywhere! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching and following along. I hope you have an amazing weekend! 🙌

So glad you enjoy the projects and the simplicity of them! Happy building!!

Thank you so much! I got the joe cool shirt from the Red Cross after donating blood. It’s my new favorite! 🤣

Thanks so much! Black and wood are my favorite combination 😍 simple and classic. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

I appreciate you watching and hope you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend!

Thanks so much for watching! I was really excited to come back and revisit this from the early years haha. Also, that’s so awesome to hear! Thank you for your support of my small business. I love to hear you love it 😊

You were one of several! I should have redone this a long time ago 🙈 it is still one of my all time favorites all these years later. I’m glad it finally got the attention it deserved 😅 and also that’s a great idea for a series…project revisits! I’m going to have to think on that. Ps bubby looks better with age. I’m not sure the same applies to me 🤣 so I kept that out of the video haha!

Thank you so much! I always try and make the plans as easy to follow as possible. Hopefully they are haha! Yes, the weather here is driving me nuts 😂 I started building this in shorts and I went out of town for a week and came back to work on it again a little in a hoodie then I went out of town another week and came back to work on it in a coat again. This week we are back to shorts. It’s a roller coaster. One of these days it’ll level out and get hot and I’ll wish it was cold again 🤣 good luck with your carport repair! Hopefully it stays cool for you…I’m sure working on a roof in the heat isn’t ideal. Anyway, thanks so much for watching and I really hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much! That’s exactly how I feel about a lot of things…if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it! Haha I’m glad you enjoyed and I really appreciate you watching. Have a great weekend!

@@WoodshopDiaries You're welcome! You too :).

That’s such a great idea to do a whole series! I’ll definitely have to think on that and see what I can do!

Thank you so much!

I think Bubby liked it but he was a little irritated he wouldn’t fit on the shelves 🤣 Things are finally starting to warm up here…hopefully not too fast as I dread the summer heat haha. I hope you’re having a great weekend and I really appreciate you following along and watching. Thank you 💕

@@WoodshopDiaries Bubby will have to go on Weight Watchers so he can squeeze into the shelves! Bet I dread the summer heat worse than you as our summers are 110+ degrees here in AZ. It's a dry heat and that does make a big difference but it's still HOT!

Haha 🤣

Thank you!

Plans doodled on graph paper are the best! Those are the plans I use myself haha. Then I draw them in sketchup after they’re built so make “actual plans” to share. I’m sure that will be a great project. Happy building!

I do agree with that 100%. Imperfections are often intentional style details.

Thank you so much! It could definitely be used for lots of things. That’s one of my favorite things about it! Although it does make coming up with a name for it a little challenging haha 🙈

@@WoodshopDiaries Do it all cabinet! 😂

Thanks so much for watching! I truly appreciate you following along and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you so much! I love pocket holes for building and especially for cabinets and plywood projects! I’m glad you find the videos and the instructions helpful 🙌 for what it’s worth, I love the Kreg rip cut and accucut guides and use them on almost every project. They’re life savers! I have a guide to using them here if you’re interested: www.woodshopdiaries.com/cut-down-plywood-sheets-with-circular-saw/

@@WoodshopDiaries I ended up getting the Kreg rip-cut and also the Accu-cut. Just finished breaking down a sheet of maple plywood using both of them and am very pleased with the results. It was a little "new" but became more and more familiar with each cut. Thank you for putting me onto this system in your video! My woodshop was too crowded to set up in so I set up in my tractor shed so that I could back the truck right up to the sawhorses and slide the sheet off. I will break down the remaining sheets in the same manner. As a 70+ year-old, every labor saving step is welcomed. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This would be a great nightstand…I didn’t even think of that! I hope you have a great weekend as well and I really appreciate you watching and checking out the plans! Happy building!

@@WoodshopDiaries …. I’ll show the video to my wife. I’m sure she’ll want some for the cabin. Also, your vanities I built are working great! Everyone likes them. Today, I built and installed the second sliding barn door on the bathrooms! Thanks again for all your great diy videos! You’re the best!

Haha it is quite a mess. It’s got quite a few pieces from quite a few half finished projects in there that I need to deal with. The lumber rack on the right wall and plywood storage cart in the back are both really helpful in there for wood storage. It’s all the other random assortment of things I’ve thrown in here that have made it a mess 🤣

The great thing about building it yourself is you can customize however you need! Happy building!

Thank you! I did debate on the knob placement and ultimately decided at the top so I didn’t have to bend over to open the door 😅 haha.

…Kind of neither? The shelves aren’t deep enough to stop the door but the hinges don’t stop them either. If I pushed the door, it would swing in a little. But the hinges are “stiff” enough to hold the door in place so I just close it where I want it and it holds. If that makes sense.

Thank you so much!

🥰🥰

Thank you so much! My shoulder is kind of constant bothering me anymore. It’s been that way a few years now. I definitely think it has to do with the way I drill and drive 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️ driving screws upward always makes it worse 🥴

@@WoodshopDiaries we never learn do we? Lol

I am using a SurfPrep sander with vacuum system. Before it I was using a Mirka with vacuum system but it died and I switched to surfprep. I like it a lot but it’s pricey. I also have a cheap $100 Bosch orbital sander and it works just as well and you could just hook it to a shop vac for basically the same set up.

@@WoodshopDiaries thanks. They are pretty pricy! I'll have to hold off on that purchase...😂

Hi! First, it’s important to take your time choosing the best boards you can. I suspect that’s likely the real issue in most cases. I discuss that more here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-buy-lumber/ Then, make sure to shave off factory ends so you’re starting with square ends for your cuts-for example, shave a blade width off the end of your 2x4 board before measuring and cutting your first piece. That way the ends are both cut smooth and square. In many cases, I square the rounded corners off my 2x boards like shown here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/woodworking-tips-square-edges-make-your-own-2x2s/

That’s true! There are several projects I need to go rebuild so I can make a video for it 🙈 maybe I’ll start a new series!

Check them out in detail here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/cut-down-plywood-sheets-with-circular-saw/

Hi! I haven’t had any that was sticking fine just start unsticking. In other words, I haven’t found time to be a failure factor. However, I have found that if I didn’t properly apply it, it would show up when applying a finish. Any section that isn’t properly glued will bubble when finishing. That’s when I learned you need to apply heat until the glue melts (don’t just quickly run the iron over it and call it good) and make sure to PRESS IT DOWN while it’s still warm. Since I learned that (pretty early on haha) I’ve had this on kitchen cabinet doors, my workshop, and projects all over my bathroom (moisture prone areas) and not had any start peeling. I have a guide to how to apply it with links to what I use here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-cover-plywood-edges/

@@WoodshopDiaries Good to know - thanks!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching.

Hi! It’s a ridgid 12” compound miter saw. It’s linked the tools list in the video description 😊
