I want to inspire you to build, fix and do things for yourself while learning and having fun along the way. Basically if it deals with daily life around your home or shop, I want to help! I sometimes review a variety of different products that most homeowners will benefit from having in their DIY collection.
I hope you find something I do informative, helpful and motivating. I am always trying to put out content that will interest and inspire. Also hit me up for any requests and I'll do my best to accommodate!
And I learned something new - there's a thing called milk paint... which sounds like a good alternative but, after a quick research, is not really available over here. Only found one source online and they want 105€ (154 CAD) for almost 2 Liters... yeah... not in my budget, lol. Anyhow, that concrete table top mixed with the wood frame looks really good! Now Slade needs a matching dog bed - with a soft surface of cause ;) Have a great weekend!
Milk paint makes some really good stuff, but there are other brands that make the same type of paints and finishes they do. Ooof, yeah I paid $110 CAD for this jug, but it's 4 liters. It's basically glorified Tung oil is all, I almost just bought pure tung oil, but this was on sale at the time for me. I actually really like how the concrete turned out, it almost looks like frost ran through the concrete or something. I was kind've going for a bit of a worn, weathered look. That bed is actually a great idea, but he is weird and likes to hang off of it, so I don't think he'd like it, but it's worth a shot. Thanks, you too!
Very Nice! Best I've seen done. I'll look for list of items used below. Thank You. Oh, and the color is Brilliant! It matches the chair perfectly! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸👍
Thanks! Glad you like it. Unfortunately Home Depot won't let me add links, but I can add the materials. I was really going for a good match, just glad it turned out!
Before this video i have seen more or less 30 videos but i can't understand anything finally i have understood. Now i will be able make easily . i think you are great instructor. Thank you so much for such as informative ❤
I am so excited to try this! How fragile is the surface when you're done? I'm assuming you couldn't treat it like a cutting board, but how careful do I have to be not to scratch it?
That's awesome! It's not fragile at all, it's stone. Once it has had a week at least to dry, it's hard AF. The only thing is certain acid foods or coffee can stain it if it isn't cleaned up right away, but I've never had an issue with that either.
I bought the plan but have problems with the dimensions because my English is terrible :-( I really like the design and have learned to love the game and would like to build it
I just wanted to tell you that I loved your video and I decided that I was going to do it. I am a 62 year old, 230 pound female and I did all of it myself. I took my pickup truck and bought all the wood by myself and hauled it home and picked up all the screws like you said and the glue! I used my husband's saw and cut all my own pieces. It took me a few weeks to do it because it was a bit exhausting because the area I did was 45 feet long by 2 feet wide. I wish I could post photos for you to see my finished project. I even went back and 'stained' all the wood after it was built (I wasn't too sure if I should do it before I started to saw etc...) but oh well. It is by NO MEANS as perfect as yours but I am pretty proud of it and it looks AMAZING!! Thank you for showing me how to do it step by step and for having such great ideas!
Wow, that's awesome! You did quite the sizeable bed by the sounds of it. You could email me the pics, I'd love to see it, email is on the channel "about" page. As long as you learned along the way, it doesn't need to be "perfect", none of them ever are, even mine. But you can always be proud of it! Thanks for sharing and watching
Question-why did you glue together the 44 degree pieces of wood but then just nailed in wall without connecting pieces beforehand for the other corner?
I was showing if you used a profiled board (not a flat board like I used, it was all I had) that you should use a inside cut and the angle to do it. But then I showed how to install flat board as they can just slide into each other and be installed separately
