• Designing a Dream Vaca...
I'm taking on the challenge of hand crafting every piece of furniture for my house, starting with a pair of super modern floating nightstands for the bedroom. I delve into the complete process, from selecting materials like a sheet of plywood and beautiful walnut for edge banding, to overcoming stability issues and employing various woodworking techniques. I demonstrate cutting, gluing, and using a router for precise joinery, as well as integrating a French cleat system for wall mounting. Throughout the project, I share useful tips and tricks, such as creating clean cuts in plywood and using clamps effectively. The video also covers my design process and how I draw inspiration for my projects. In the end, I hope this video makes you want to try making your own nightstands, just like mine or with your own creative touch!

    Actually stumpy is the one who talked me into watching this channel. When I first saw Dave I hated him. I am a grumpy old man stuck in a 30 year old body and hipsters just irritate the hell out of me. I thought he was just a lame ass hipster . More KZreadr than woodworker. But I am glad I gave him another chance he’s entertaining very smart with his projects n a good woodworker.

    PLEASE DO NOT STOP. I love the way how you keep these kind of videos until now. I love the short and long videos. Other youtuber/woodworker stopped doing videos like this and they ended-up with crappy videos. It shows that it is not their passion to teach and entertain. I remember that you mentioned that you are not really a woodworker but a video maker. I disagree on you with that. You are a woodworker, teacher, entertainer and a video maker. Hats-off and salute to you! I wish you more power, to your channel and to your other endeavors.

    Love your designs and videos! As a new woodworking hobbyist, one of the most confusing things building different pieces is choosing which type of finish to apply. I know there are some videos solely focusing on finishing, but I think it would be really helpful if you explain the finishes you’re using and why you chose that specific type of finish for each piece/video. I think that would really allow the reasoning to sink in if we hear it consistently. Thanks for the great content!

    Polyurethane on anything that needs a durable finish like a table top. Everything else is whatever I feel like at the time. Sometimes it's shellac, sometimes it's lacquer and sometimes it tung oil for no rhyme or reason.
