Starts out as just a power saw and a drill. Then: clamps, tape measure, speed square, respirator, ear muffs, goggles, extension cord, table saw, saw horse, palm/orbital sander, drill bits, mallet, hand saw, hammer, router, drill press, forstner bits, paint roller/ cover/ tray, hammer drill... I drive past all the big box hardware stores and always go to True Value. Great job. Subscribed.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ru-vid.comUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I've been watching a LOT of woodwork DIY lately, and while I've come across some real good makers, I think this video was easily one of the best: You showed us what you were making right at the start, no-fuss and to the point, clear instructions, enough explanation for your decisions, good suggestions for alternative techniques, wonderfully shot both visually and instructionally, and as a designer, I even appreciate the illustrations to illustrate how you're about to tackle the project which gives a good overview to understand it all. Even the music, while I'm sure is generic stock music, is appropriate, calming, and I'm partial a good relaxing guitar. And I appreciate how you even implemented your sponsor in a tasteful way that respects the viewer. The ending little dialogue was also really amusing to me! lol
Thanks Keto wolf...appreciate it. Hope you enjoy the other videos too. Not all are this DIY, but I've definitely got a handful of DIY type. Just put out two DIY desks in a video today :)
You 100% nailed the message of True Value... I work at a small one in Aberdeen, NC... We have been around for 97 years and we stand by our customer service... It's something we all care about and really love doing
Hey Chase...that is cool to hear. My comments didn't come from corporate or anything like that. More the feeling I've always had when shopping there, and the sentiment that I got from my conversation with Scott who co-owns my local store.
Cheers for this, been searching for "woodworking plans wood shelves" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yiyli Yeyavid Booster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.
It's interesting to watch Chris' earlier videos. A job site saw, dewalt sander, and no festools or sawstops. It's really cool to see how far he's come along with not only his equipment, but his designs and editing. Keep it up.
The production value you put into your videos is stunning and pleasant to watch. You and a few other content creators with similar values really have inspired me to begin my own channel this spring. I truly appreciate the work you do and the effort you put into making these videos.
The way You're putting ads in videos are simply... THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. RU-vidRS FROM AROUND THE WORLD... LEARN! Great video, i'm gonna build this in my home. Thanks!
I use that same dewalt table saw and stand for work. When setting it up I extend all the legs while its standing on end and just grab the handle and pull it over. I've had the one I got for almost 2 years and I haven't seen any adverse effects to the legs they're still going strong try it out, it's way easier, especially when you're by yourself
This has truly become one of my channels on RU-vid. Great craftsmanship with excellent story and content wrapped up in every single video. Well done sir. I really do appreciate your style and art.
Considering the work you do today, it's really inspiring to see you doing 6 years ago what I do right now using simple tools most of us have as a beginner. It's not that we all aim to build 10k slab tables, but nice to know that we probably could in a couple of years if really wanted to.
thank you True Value and Scott for supporting Chris and and your community. I practically live at my True Value (Zellars Napa, CA). Chris is an excellent wood worker and while creating value for his community by creating a place where people can come and learn. However For me Chris is a strong clear voice of what for me America is about. His method of clam story telling is inclusive and educational especially for young people off to start a life aventure. His word play is the draw for me, his banter is captivating. No he is not my son and if he was I would be beaming like the Sun.
The video that inspired my first real woodworking project which ultimately led to a passion. Thank you FourEyes! Amazing to see how much your craft has grown since posting this.
I remember the TV shows of true value when I was a kid,make me love doing, fixing etc stuff in my house that's true value your the first TV show of diy
Chris - I absolutely love your work; the irony is that I'm not a fan of "mid-century" design. But, what you do...and how...and why...aren't stuck to just one style. The heart and soul of it can wear an exterior of mid-century or arts-and-crafts or williamsburg or georgian or what my father called "early attic." Thank you for sharing your particular flavor of manliness! :-)
We Just built this TV Stand. Thank you so much for putting this out in the world. We decided to make our own panels(our first panel glue up ever) which made everything take way longer. But these plans are solid and the build itself took almost no time and looks great!
@@SilverSparrow5 We built this from wood we already had(reclaimed wall paneling). The only thing we bought new was spray paint and some panel clamps, so maybe $80. If you bought the wood to make this I would think several hundred dollars depending on the size you went for. We loved being able to use old scrap wood though, so keep an eye out and see what you can find. Jointing, planing and sanding had us sink a lot of hours into it though.
Unlike last time this was too long for toilet viewing so I watched this in bed and I'm sure ur proud to know that ur calm voice and casual music didn't wake our sleeping baby. Well done you.
Wow dude, not sure if you were trying to make it seem more possible for us with less experience but you made that look so easy with the contractor saw, circular saw and drill. I don't know what my excuse is anymore, you took them all away!
it's not that hard man...you can do it. Just think things through, have patience and you can do it. Obviously you'll make mistakes, I still do plenty, but overtime you get better and it gets easier :)
Wow it’s really good to find a video that starts with only need circular saw and a drill. Most videos I find are made by people with huge workshops, which isn’t accessible to me starting out. Thanks.
Amazing job as always. I really like the graphics to walk through alternate designs and show why you choose this shape and size, and showing all the color options is a clever touch.
I came here from a toxic wasteland sometimes also known as reddit just to say, once again, that I love how it turned out. I love many of your designs, they just click with me, and this one is no different.
I really liked this one, You are explaining everything very well for a beginner, I appreciate when ppl are making something that they dont use every fancy equipment that they have to do a nice piece. thx
Man, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am looking to move into my own pad and currently dont have furniture. Shopping has shown me how expensive quality or modern design furniture can be, and quite frankly, I cant afford it. This has inspired me and illustrated how simple it is to design and create. Thank you and merry xmas
Digging the more instructional style. As an FYI if you have some more circular saw projects in the works upgrading the battery on that saw makes a WORLD of difference.
Thanks Patrick...already did it...went and bought two of the bigger batteries. I was amazed at how quick the others go dead. Like not even full 3 rips of the sheet and done :)
The ONLY tools you need, are a circular saw and a driller. Yeah. Okay … Or… if you have one, a table saw. And… glue. And clamps, yeah clamps. Like a lot of them. Short ones, and… yepp, really long ones. Let’s say four. At least. Better six. Or eight. Okay, and you’d need a shizzle and a grinder. And a milling machine and a ryoba and, may be… a workshop and an education as a woodworker could help. But basically ALL you need for this cabin is a circular saw and a driller!!! 😂 Love your vids dude!
Thank you for this! I messaged you a few times about sliding doors and this helped a lot. Oh and I have a DWE7491RS as well. Really like it. Except the small work surface.
Let's be honest here: If you want to do a halfway decent job, it takes more than a circular saw and drill. You also need clamps, saw horses, a router, and a sander at minimum.
:) Put on your seat belt, and hold on tight...b/c it's going to be a prolific January. 3 more videos coming in as many weeks. Then things will taper off a bit.
“All you’re going to need is a circular saw and a drill” Proceeds to build credenza with a table saw, bar clamps, wood glue, drill press, palm router, palm sander.....yeah 2 things....
Really Really well done. Solid build and elegant video. Nice feature on the hardware store in the middle. Well implemented. (First time finding one of your videos) I may actually attempt this build in the spring. Pretty excited about it. Especially the coloured sliding doors.
Very nice build, easy to follow! I’ve been wanting to build something similar for my own TV so this was very helpful, especially regarding the sliding doors, a feature I wanted to include! And, I had no idea you were I So Cal until your trip to True Value. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the Fullerton store and have always found their staff to be super friendly and helpful!’
I liked the team color idea; of course, that means replaceable doors depending on the season. I believe SoCal is four season (football, baseball, basketball and May). :-)
I like that you can paint the doors a different color on each side and just flip them around when the season changes or as you change things in the room. I like the thought of mixing wood, paint, and metal by using brushed aluminum vinyl wrap on the doors.
Chris, awesome work as usual and loved seeing you get to work out in the sun on your driveway (ah, I miss California!). Good build, my wife is asking for something very similar; I'm on it... now.
These videos have such a calming ease to them that if I wasn't a woodworker I would watch them for its soothing qualities. Awesome video, but I did notice the slight struggle when you were cutting on the table saw, and with that struggle made the video lose its soothing quality but just a little lol. Could you possibly do a video on how to make a portable outfeed table for your saw. Just a thought. Thanks
Another home run Chris! Great video and the ending..lmao! We all need a break from the spinners. Always appreciative of your safety tips through the video. Never hurts to drop knowledge for the novice or a refresher for the veteran woodworker. Can't wait for the next vid!
I've watched a handful of these videos and think there is a lot of great insight on design and build. I do think it would have been a bit more efficient to cut the center shelf before locating the vertical partition. If you were to cut the shelf to half of the length of the top and bottom. Then scribe a line on those pieces to define the location. As long as you don't put you partition on the wrong side of the line you shouldn't need to cut the shelf more than once. Maybe I'm missing the reason it was done this way, I just thought I would throw it out there. Thanks for all of the great design insight, I love the "Let's talk about design" vids.
VERY GOOD video and beautiful TV stand! I really liked your editing and video shooting skills! Nice, low-key, not over-the-top production (like so many youtube channels are these days. Keep up the great work!!!
This is perfect!! I'm just about to build something exactly like this. (haven't seen the video yet but I'm sure it's great and gonna give me all kinds'a tips before i start)
Withought the doors and using the hairpin legs... a 3/10 difficulty. With the doors and the wood legs, a 5/10 or so. In other words, it isn’t hard... just large. And if you can cut out rectangular pieces... you can handle it.
Very nice video Chris! I like how you offer options on how to construct it and on design. Also, it is helpful to a wider group to see that these projects can be made with box store quality equipment. I really don't know why people are so critical, your videos are fantastic! People, put yourself in Chris' shoes, he works full time, has a family, and videos/makes these projects in his "spare time". Of course he wants to (and should) partner with sponsors to re-coup the cost of this limited time.
wow! i found your video through Reddit and thank god i did. your calm demeanor, perfect voice and narration, great quality in both content and camera work, as well as the acoustics and amazing choice of music has me excited to binge your content and look forward to more. i am now a subscriber and i hope to see more of this content from you. thank you for the video!
Awesome job Chris. Nice simpler build that is more approachable. EVERYONE else complaining about the lack of dados, the simplicity, or the different tools. It was all part of the build. It's suppose to be a simpler more approachable project with typical DIYer tools. Chris talked about it on his podcast. Check the modern maker podcast out and get your insider info on. As always brother great job.
Thanks Emmanuel. Here, they are on the slightly more expensive side of the brands you find at the hardware stores...Bosch and Makita are right around the same price...some of the other brands are a little less typically.
Hi from Australia!s Mate! Looks great. I've made a few things at home... coffee table, dining table, hall stand. But they are all designs where i didnt have to cut ultra straight and none would be the wiser. Me and the misses are looking at combining our tv cabinet and glass cabinet into one long unit and i think this will be project for it. Thank you for the quick tips on how to cut large pieces straight, im pretty much always lost on how to get 90 degree cuts. Ps. Da Bears!
Awesome TV stand and video! Clean, simple and interesting by the visible layers of the veneered plywood. Think I'm going to build this stand myself! The coating you used works very well with the walnut veneer, did you used the Arm R Seal Urethane Top Coat again? Keep up the good work!
