Nice add with the little one. My baby daughter will be 40 in July. Her father's day card this year thanked me for all that I taught her. Your reward is coming over and over. Nice table too ;)
You are the only woodworker on RU-vid I have ever seen who uses the table saw correctly by turning the blade off after every single cut before removing the cut wood
These turned out great man! I love the gunstock oak color. I havn't had much experience with wipe on shellac. I'm going to give it a shot because this looks really nice. Very precise and professional. Nice work!
Thanks! A good reference for a real good build up of a shellac finish is one of David Picciuto's old videos. I think he called it his favorite finish. I didn't put the effort he did. But, it dried quick and you can get a lot done in a short period of time. Take care!
Im a little worried that there wasnt room for bottom shelf to expand. It may end up blowing that table apart. Otherwise really nice job!! It looks great
@russellmitchuk9105 I left an 8th inch at least in my notches across each set. I also didn't glue them in. It's been close to 5 years and they don't move at all! I think the wood stays really stable in an air conditioned environment. I was more worried about the top and everything's been good.
You have a great personal narrator voice. Very calming. Looking forward to trying a shaker project. - BTW in the video title you may have intended "Bedside". just sayin'
Thank you, I appreciate it! My thoughts are these tables could also be a side table near chairs or ends of couches so I didn't title it bedside. I do believe I added tags as such though. Thanks, good luck on your project!
Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of building a very similar table and was looking for ideas of how to attach the shelf. Do you have any concerns about wood movement with the shelf fixed to the legs like that?
Top is 17.5" X 17.5" Body is 16" x 16" Drawer is 14.5" long by 13" wide Shelf is 14" x 14" and is 6" from the floor. Legs are tapered 5" from the bottom
I do actually! However, I did not glue those joints and my mortises that hold it in are a bit loose which will help. I think the wood stays quite dry in the house as well. So far so good! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work! I noticed your brass corner braces at the very end which are for the small pieces you used pocket holes on. Were they for extra strength or do you think you could get by without them?
THANKS! No plans. I measured the space between our bed and the wall and the height of the bed to make them level. I just decided I wanted a 4" drawer and added and inch to the top and bottom giving me a 6" apron. I winged the hole job and got lucky!
I use stain. No problem. Oak stain makes your pine end table look good. I stain my pine too. What's that? You put oaK stain to stain oaK to make your oaK look more like oaK? Oh, umm 🤔. Nah I'm just making fun Looks great man!
Really looks nice, great build. Not trying to be a safety Nazi, but if you ever saw a board fly out of a planer, you may want to reconsider having your daughter stand to the side next time.
