You may have guessed by now, but my name is Donny Graham.
I’m a husband and a father of 2 beautiful little girls.
I love working with my hands and building something from nothing.
I have over 6 years of custom woodworking & DIY renovation experience, tackling everything from cutting boards and dining room tables, to tile work and drywall.
1. Great video. 2. Reinstallation will be much easier if you remove the door pins instead of the hinge screws because the holes could get messed up and make it difficult to reuse or reinstall. Mask of the brackets prior to painting the door. 3. You don't have to be perfectly straight with your cut line because the cut will be covered by the frame on the glass insert (just make sure not to wander off the line too much).
@@phonyjabroni sorry - the paperwork came with the door frame. Not sure where it would be located online. Thanks for checking out the video, good luck with your project!
Love it, great work. Would love to see the picture after finishing! Checked your instagram and couldn’t find it. I guess if you want to make the gains continuous throughout you can do the top and bottom frame lines from the same board. I am thinking the dividers between the drawers and doors can’t be a cross cut from the big board. It feels wrong, right?
@@lisabroaddus4737 haha appreciate the positivity and feedback! This is a fairly older video though, maybe check out a newer one to see if I’ve improved ;)
$90 is steep. I'm afraid to buy the plans and then not have all the tools to make it. I do not have a table router, bandsaw, spindle sander or domino. Do you think this bed could be made without those?
@@number6803 it would be tough, but I don’t think it’s be impossible. I’d say you need - table saw, handheld router, jig saw, and then either a doweling jig or pockethole jig of some sort
Shellac would have been a better finish option. Maybe not as big of a concern for a toddler bed vs a crib. Shellac is almost the only non toxic finish. For a crib where the child may chew on it it’s a bigger issue than a toddler bed. But congrats on the toddler bed, looks great and what a satisfying project.
My recommendation is for true Scotch not Whiskey, I suggest Glenlivet 12-year single malt or Glenfiddich. They have smoother tastes and are good starter scotches. I like your storytelling and have subscribed!
I found your video looking for ideas for a similar build for myself. First, let me say that watching and learning from your mistakes is hugely comforting. I am entirely self-taught, mostly through watching videos like yours. I hope you never cut out those portions of your builds because I feel like they give incredible learning points to people like me. Second, you'll find that whiskey and bourbon are incredibly like woodworking videos. Everyone has their own taste. I'm a solid 90 - 100 proof guy. Anything over that I do not enjoy, typically. You'll find that to be your first thing to determine. After that, you'll start to explore the more-corn or the more-rye tastes. I think your choices for the cabinet are solid. Depending on where you are located one of my favorite daily-sippers may be hard to find but Traverse City bourbon is my recommendation. After that I'm a Colonel E.H. Taylor fan for the nights I'm feeling all James Bond-ish.
Hi there! A mini-split is essentially a miniature version of your standard HVAC. But uses a ductless system instead of a traditional duct-base system. Thanks for checking out the video!
A contractor cost is why I can't get this shower. I am not a DIY person. This helped and I MAY try and find a cost effective person or small co. Labor is gonna mess me up, since I have to get others. I'm elderly and a walk in is good for me, I've already had a major fall and it's an issue. THANK you for this it is an eye opener 👁👁✌🏼✌🏼
Looks awesome! Most of these smokers (yours included) have a small fan on the bottom of the hopper to pull air from below and feed the burner. It looks like you sat the bottom of the hopper tight to the concrete, which basically blocks the airflow. Did you modify this afterwards from the end result shown in the video to pick it up off the concrete?
@@jransum thanks! Yeah, this is definitely an older video before I really learned how to edit sound better - I’d definitely invite you to check out a more recent video and see if the improvements are noticeable !
Great video and best review one could hope for! I recently bought plans for the glenn lounge chair. I would probably make one from cheap pine first before using expensive wood :D hopefully that should build some confidence. I am planning to make a bed as well (queen size) but using inspiration from thuma bed with castle joints. I am planning to use ikea metal central support beam along with their slats instead of making it out of wood. My experience with wood support beams has been mixed at max. The curved nature of ikea slats and metal support beam is tried and tested! Thanks again!
Idk has answered your question about how or when what stage of development is the shower surround installed, but it’s installed not long after interior walls are framed up but definitely before drywalling and door trim is installed.
What happens if you pull out the surround and find the wall is water-damaged underneath? We're pretty sure that's what we'll find in ours since the other side of the wall has some bulging...
Thanks! I really appreciate that. That pretty well captures the heart of my channel's DIY videos - to truly see if from an average home owner/weekend warrior's perspective. Mistakes and all haha
You could definitely beef it up with 6x6s. Not sure what you mean by ‘PT’. If you went the longer bench route, you’d likely need a middle support to prevent sagging. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you for this video. I've been looking at my outdated shower and could not find inspiration to do it after I got quoted $6k for a reno. This was great for me. Thanks again!
Not mixing concrete and doing dry pour like this will get you about 15% of the strength and vastly extends the cure time, in 30 days half of the thickness will still be uncured.
No stain, just helmsman - though, it dulled really poorly after about 2 years. I’d recommend using a fence stain/sealer instead. I refinished these ones with Cabot canyon brown and they turned out 💯👌🏽. Thanks for checking out the video!
After several months of struggling to get ideas and getting those ideas rejected, this is perfect for my eagle scout project I am working on! Thank you so much for this! This is actually a blessing!
