This only takes Three 2x4s. Huge Profit 

What an Awesome Tip! I will definitely use that trick. thank you for sharing

So cool, thx

Great tip -- I been schooled.

Thanks for sharing this awesome tip! & I wonder how many of us are saying to ourselves right now "how come I never thought of that?" lol

Nice!

😂 so true.

You can find them, but they will be all torta by the time you get them home.

Easy... Start with a pile of 300 and just keep digging... XD

I bought three 2x4s for this project. They were so warped I ended up making a few bows. Guess I am now a Bowyer instead of a woodworker. Thanks a lot Home Depot!

@CoderSal DCLXVI LOL I was there today and asked a guy working where they kept the straight ones. He said at the lumber yard.

Truer words have not been spoken before.

Haha never heard that one before. Love it!

Prayers for your strength, I hope you are able to reach a lot of young people and give them a lifelong love for woodworking. It's one of my favorite escapes.

Kudos to you mate. Hopefully a few of your students fall in love with woodworking and go on to making a strong career out of it.

That is great! I would love to hear if you did this and how they did?

😂😂😂

That is a beautiful bench.

These are the types of projects I built for years as a beginner. They are still fun to build and share and also sell great as well! Thanks for your comment.

I’ve got a question for you as a novice level woodworker… what are the best blades for working with pine and/or how do you keep them from gumming up? I keep having to soak mine in Simple Green to get the resins off and get them cutting properly again… but it barely lasts a couple or boards. Really getting frustrated by it.

​@@30AndHatingItI'm definitely no professional at woodworking but I've cut alot of timber in my life and pine is definitely extremely aggravating to work with over all the sap that's in it. I don't know where you're getting your lumber from or if you are using your own materials that you cut down like I do. I have found out if I'm gonna do any kind of wood working with pine I make sure my pine has been cut and laid out for about a year(this is a complete tree I've cut and dropped on ground and let the entire tree season and dry up) that has always been a long enough period of time for the sap the dry up and practically all be gone. If you're buying wood from someone or somewhere just make sure you buy the kiln dried pine and it will be practically sap free also!! Hop that helps!

@@30AndHatingIt Make sure you are purchasing kiln dried dimensional lumber. Should be very little resin in these boards.

One of the very first videos i made was a micro accurate table saw fence. So cheap and easy to adjust...you may really like it!

Wow, thanks a lot Kevin! so glad to hear that. Thanks for the sub and following along. Have a great weekend

Takes courage to admit you are a plumber. But.. it takes a mountain of courage to admit you are a plumber who watches woodworking vids in his spare time. Very strong and brave.

Plumbing school? Now, that sounds interesting.

A table saw can not only cut a finger or hand OFF, it can impale you by launching a blunt 2x4 into your stomach !!!

He was pushing boards through with his fingers, not a recommended approach.. 🩸🩸

Pussies

I didn't know that 😳 thank you!!

I don't have a table saw - are there other ways to remove the rounded edges?

@@shreyasdube If you also don't have a planer or jointer, you try stacking several pieces together and either sand them or use a hand planer.

Omg never knew this

my brain knows this but id have absolutely forgotten it if not for your comnent

I am confused. He didn't show anything special. If anything his video is a lie. This cost way more then 3 2x4's. This cost 10k + investment in tools like he has............................ That table saw he shown is 800$ alone. That is more then 3 2x4's. Then he starts to talk about using your band saw...................... ehh...... Which lets be real. For a crap band saw is like 600-700. The one he has. is most like min 1500-3000 range. I would say over 2k range. He is using way more then 3 2x4's. I see only a faker pretending to give advice to people, but yet really is in it to make videos for profit onto himself and pretends his channel is here to give guides for people or some dumb PoS logic like that.

​@fighterpimp any recommendations of other woodworker channels that started from the bottom on limited equipment and start making things for profit eventually?

I have done this before although it was with a saw blade with carbide teeth. any reason the one without carbide teeth would work better? maybe the carbides are a little to aggressive?

​@@BradyHommel Brittle. Carbide breaks easily under shear stresses. Steel teeth are safer to bend and use for this.

Sounds like heaven. Be careful rripping 2x4 because it's very dangerous and not recommended. He should have used a band saw to rip them.

Awesome! Really appreciate your comment. I have many videos planned like this one so stay tuned! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Hitting it with a light chain works pretty good also

You can do the same technique with a circular saw. Great effect!

ya but if you find one good product that sells it takes a lot less time to make in bulk and you can start to make real good money

I don't think any video creator would take offense especially to constructive comments like yours. I myself ask the viewers what they would do differently and it helps me along with everyone else who is genuinely interested!

Glad you liked it! Thank you

Your welcome! Thanks for your comment!

Imagine how much doll house furniture you can build from one 2x4

No not 50k. Few hundred could do it.

Projects will pay em off and then some pretty quick.

@@sickwilly1171what kind of projects like Facebook marketplace or how do you do it?

And don't forget $20 worth of consumeables (top attach hardware, sandpaper, glue, drawer pull, stain, poly, leveling feet). Unless you are in a HCOL area you would be lucky to break even on this project, mabe make $10 for your time. Plus that pine is gonna move like crazy so you customers will pe pissed about 6 months down the road. Bet you spent more than an hour building it......Target pays $11.00/hr in my area.

@@sickwilly1171 If getting cheap ryobi, you are looking at at least $350. The wood is already the cheapest part of the build, makes no financial sense to not upgrade the wood quality and then you could ask for much more. I built a beautiful butcher block and black iron pipe desk and the best offer I got was $100 because I used distressed pine.

Thanks Michael!

In your opinion, how much could these tables sell for as a pair?

Yes! My wife and I have been working on this project in our spare time and would highly suggest a cut list! 😂

He describes all cuts. Rewatch and take notes.

@@Biker118347 we did, he’s inconsistent with his measurements. States one length, next scene the measurement has magically changed.

Awesome! Thank you!

​@@BradyHommel where does one go to sell such things you said huge profit after all meaning you didn't intent to keep these yourself right

@J S I sold these as a set on marketplace the first day I listed them for $200. Next time I'd bump it up to $250 because I has so much interest.

@@BradyHommel i keep forgetting things like facebook market exist

All sound like great technique you recommended. I definetly will be trying them. Thank you for your comment!

@@BradyHommel . I did learn a few things from your videos well keep up the good videos I will be watching all of them when I can. Thank you for sharing your videos much appreciated..

I used to work at a period woodworking shop and we'd use cinder blocks to distress new stuff. Just smash a new cinder block with a sledge hammer. However it breaks, use that rough/jagged tool to distress your work.

​@@BradyHommel cool cool now uhh where do i sell these at?

I think a little wood burning in places that would get abused would add character, and some depth of color.

Thanks a lot! Haha give it a shot they are nice little night stands. Appreciate your comment!

Ikr?! Why say it’s “easy and cheap” but forget to mention they have hundreds of thousands dedicated in just tools and equipment. Whatever, I’m not going to let that stop me!

You can have all of my woodworking tools for just 6 million 🙂 But keep in mind, the lumber's gonna cost you atleast 2 million.

I was thinking the same. Typical American woodworking video. Wood machining really. Huge clinically clean workshop. Every power tool known to man. I work in my garage with a fairly limited set of tools. I could do this project but it would take a lot longer. This doesn't invalidate the video - the idea is good - but for most of us it is not quite the bish-bash-bosh-and-it's-done affair portrayed. Big investment in tools and space needed to do that.

WTF you talking about. He literally is using 10k+ of wood working tools and doesn't show us 1 time how to make anything without them. Is your brain RERE PoS???????????????

Chop saw, table saw, sander, power drill. Under $1k in tools tbh. Can't make a cake without an oven and mixing bowls.

Awesome! Thank you for subscribing. glad you liked it!

Do you mean put 2 & 4 together? Joking... 😊

Great feedback for me moving forward. Thank you!

Doesn't it get ding marks easily?

Awesome!

@@b3arwithm3 ding marks =character

@@anitabellefeuille7362 it depends on the look you go for.

Just had that happen several days ago was ripping 1-1/2 strip from a 1x6x12 Cedar as it was coming off the saw the strip started bowing badly , I threw it on floor an came back couple days later an that strip had bowed nearly 2 foot from end to end 🙄

It's happened to me with framing lumber that I bought and let sit. I have heard (can't prove but makes sense) that lumber isn't kiln dried like used to be. It's quicker and cheaper to steam straighten, which is steam bending in reverse. They heat with steam then straighten boards, then of course as the wood dries it will return to original state; or worse. Check out banded lumber stack at Lowes, then look at a pallet recently unbanded. Note the boards on top and edges show bending and twisting, whereas middle ones do not. The middle has weight on it still. Now pluck a few out, take them home, and let sit a while and see what happens.

Put some weight on them and it will be alright. Blocks, paint cans, whatever you got.

Structural lumber is case hardened at the end of the kiln drying process. They actually steam the wood to reintroduce moisture at the surface of the boards then flash dry the wood. This harden the surface which is good for holding nails but induces internal stresses in the lumber that if you rip or resaw will make the new pieces move to balance out the stresses. New rule: If you want to make furniture out of structural lumber DO NOT rip or resaw. Use it as is or only take a little off of each opposing side by the same amount. That is if you want a 3 inch wide board take 1\4 off each side or if you want a 3\4 inch thick board take 3\8 inch off each side. Its waistfull but there won't be as much bowing, warpping, or twisting in the new dimensioned piece. Also, taking grain direction into account during glue ups will keep wood movement to a minimum as will adding additional pieces to the design like stretchers near the bottom of the legs. 2x4s are cut from the smallest, poorest quality logs of the poorest quality wood species and will contain the most defects and poorest grain. Making furniture from this stock and expecting anything of worth to result is like trying to make a.silk purse from a sows ear. It would be far better to buy 1x pine from a big box store and learn to cut out knots and glue up thicker or wider pie es as needed than use hem\fir structural lumber.

Agreed! Thanks for the sub!

It can still be heirloom, a specially if you make this together with son/daughter.

Such a great tip!

Great to hear! Thanks a lot for your comment and i am glad that you found the video helpful! Your comments encourage me to make more videos so thank you!

you can add those screw-in levelers on the feet.

Hey that does sound like it would look really cool & simple to do on top of that!

Great idea. What exactly do you mean by a wire disc? There are so many things out there I’m thinking of right now.

@@vineyardguy8094 , I use a coarse wire wheel that I can chuck in to my cordless drill. Welders use them to knock rust off there steel.

@BradyHommelwoodworks I know this is a 6 month old comment but same boat - new to the channel and would love to start getting into spraying finishes, but I'm a noob in that world - seems sooooo much easier than what I do though. A spray finishing vid would be awesome. A couple sprayer options, basics of how to use, what can and cannot be used in them. Either way love the content.

That's awesome to hear! Thanks for your comment!

safe during the cut at least . reaching over the blade to pull scrap will get ya

1/4" plywood for the bottom. The drawer video show it. I first saw the drawer build on Jay Bates' channel but I imagine Jay learned from some one else. That's what most of us do.

He only used 3 2x4’s as per the title of the video. The drawer bottom is clearly made of 2x4, three to be exact.

In my high school woodshop class we also used chains to distress. We also attached different types and sizes of nuts, bolts, and washers along the chain to tmake many unique scars and dents. Works great looks naturAl

same, bike chains for the win

Great idea!

Awesome. Glad to hear that!

Appreciate that. Thank you!

Thank you!
