• 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.
I would like to give you bonus points for giving Mr. James Hamilton (Stumpy Nubs) a shout out. He's good people!

Love that you had UHF playing in the shop!
UHF is such a great movie. Nice problem solving showing multiple outcomes. You get to drink from the fire hose!

How do you know we are old? When you recognize that you are playing the Weird Al Yankovic masterpiece UHF on your TV in the background. As usual, great build video!

@@AlexanderElse UHF is a must see in my opinion
I absolutely love UHF! Such a fun movie. Remember watching this a bunch of times with my dad as a kid. Also love that Emo Phillips scene. Especially when he is mocking Weird a bit at the beginning.
One of my favorite movies, it’s dumb, but so many good one liners
My suggestion: Imbed angle brackets typically used to support extended counters. Route the back and bottom so it’s flush and can’t be seen.
I love this series. I love makers that actually make things. Too many makers have just moved on to making videos talking about tools or work benches, instead of actually making something. This channel is all about making something. CHEERS!
UHF - you're such a legend. Saw one of your older videos the other day which had tge Spatula City advert, love it.
Getting the screw started before drilling. That’s the handiest thing I’ve learned from this channel. 😅
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.

"French Cletus"...from rural France, obviously😂. Another great walnut video! Thank You, sir!
What is Weird Al for the win, Alex! Great shelves David!
Omg. You at the table saw. Your shop looks so cool. The aesthetics screams fun!
Was that weird Al, love your vids bro they make me feel good and laugh and that's what I needed right now
That’s my mop!! Nice design change to support the shelf!
Night Hangs look great.
As I sit here in front of the warm woodstove, pregaming for Turkey Day festivities, my wife peeped over and noticed your new nightstand. Now this stand has moved to the top of my honey dew list. Thanks Dave!

I love your night hangs.
I built some drawers on the weekend and reinforced them with dowels. The whole time i chanted "drill some holes, pound some pegs" my kids looked at me like I'd been sniffing varnish
French cleats can make wiring tricky. It can be a good idea to leave a gap.
Funnest projects ever!!!
Well, now I have to dig out my UHF dvd. After the video of course!
Amazing, the second video on floating night stands today in my subscription list. Fishers shop released a video of him making some modified from design his wife sent of some made by DIYHuntress. Not complaining I like the different takes on them. And the different host styles.
Excellent movie on in the background!
Love this design and execution.
Excellent project, and love the series. Can't wait to see what comes next. Cool to see you also watching UHF on the shop TV! 😆 Emo Phillips is a genius.

Agreed!
I am a huge fan of mid-century modern so I am super glad you are doing this series. I look forward to all the episodes and furniture designs you come up with. What a great idea you had, I think it will be a big success. Maybe I'll be able to stay in that house after it is finished.
It's beautiful.
I’m cursing myself for never thinking of that trick for miters. That makes so much more sense
"Drill some holes; pound some pegs" is my favourite.
I legit forgot that "window" was not a real window. That's a really cool effect!
The nightstands turned out amazing. Can’t wait to see everything else you build for the house
Beautiful design, David! Great adaptation to your original design!
Thank you @makesomething for including other was to do stuff, it is always helpful but this time, you saved my butt. I was about to crosscut panels to final length and found out my cheap track saw is cutting way off the line/splinter guard. The tip about using miter gauge in reverse was what I needed. It was such a coincidence to watch your video just before heading to the shop.
Sure the side tables are nice. But UHF on the TV is even nicer
Dave I am so excited for this series! Thanks for taking us along for the journey!
Scoring the plywood before the through cut; that's a great tip👍👍
I'm so hyped for this series! Looking awesome!
Great looking Lt Dan shelf
UHF FTW!
I am really glad to hear that you are still liking the crosscut sled extension you made. It looks so awesome.
Love the nightstands they look great. Nice job David.
I really like the handle design, it brings it all together.
I’m loving this new house series
Awesome to see how you problem solved this floating nightstand. It would be interesting to see, knowing the end result now, how you would do all the joinery and glue ups if you were to make one again.
oh shit, I love UHF! I completely forgot that movie existed
Nice design and build

spatula city! SPATULA CITY! SPATULA CITY!!!!
I love the house and look forward to your videos and you fill it with your creations!
Emo Phillips - comedic genius.
I see beef coming between Clamp Champ Bob and Tape it Dave :D
Simply a great looking project. Love this channel.
Nice job David, love how you matched the grain, sweet.
What a nice idea! I just finished my own floating nightstands and saw your video immediately after that. Very very cool idea 😎👏
dude. loving the overkill 🫡
Looks amazing 😍😍😍
I like the added arc shelf supports,l. I think they help bring the two parts together nicely. Also excellent movie choice. Red snapper, good fish. Thanks for sharing!
Wish I had your workshop instead of the front path of my house tiny house in Oxford England 🏴
When adding a spline to a long miter joint it would be stronger if you make the saw kerf closer to the inner side than in the center of the miter. Nice project though and I am sure will be inspiring to your viewers.
Great video on a fun project
Really cool idea! We will be visiting for sure.
The number of times I forgot to get the screw started first. Good reminder.
Very nice they look great and a great idea
Excellent design David! Looking forward to what you come up with next. I hope that you and your family have a very nice Turkey Day! 👍👍🦃🦃
It would be cool if the loch ness monster appeared in your lake occasionally.

Nice night-hang :) (Yes I listen to the podcast)

Amazing work, those really look great. This series is going to be 🔥🔥!
How awesome 💖💖
This is great
I believe that I would have made both backs as one.the shelf and the drawer back.
Funny, 30 minutes before watching this video, I was talking to someone about the movie "UHF." A real plate of shrimp moment. IYKYK.... Also, great project/video.
Very cool! This is a fun video series - I'm looking forward to more!!
I love what you are doing, David. Great project and vid. The house as a saeries and art gallery is a fantastic idea!

As a fan whom would be interested in staying here in the future. May I suggest creating QR code stickers for each piece you make, so renters can quickly find the associated video for each piece?
Yes I knew you wouldn't let me down, Drill some holes, Pound some pegs.
I like the use of French cleats,the mrs wants to nick your design instead of the metal rods that we were going to use.
Nice work
You could totally buy a lock cutter router bit. This way the two pieces will lock together like a jigsaw piece, instead of having to use a piece of wood to reinforce the mitre. We Axcaliber make the bit I'm referring to, if they sell in the US
I was just about to comment about UHF, and then you beat me to it😅
That was beautiful, and I want to thank you for Milanote. I just took a quick peek at it and it looks like the way my brain works ❤😅
Nice! The whole house thing is a good idea too. It would be cool making a project together too as you talked about
They came up ripper ,if you’re doing more 45s on the router table, may I suggest a 45 degree lock mitre bit, plenty of gluing surface and a really strong joint ! 🙂
Bonjour, c'est tres beau !
UHF was filmed in my hometown!!!!!!!!!!!
Came here for the wood project, stayed for UHF in tge background.
Love the front drawer (draw) pulls! Yes miter+fence+through cut =bad. I’d hate to have it go through my TV, ahem, I mean window too 😂
i indeed as a woodworker love the band overkill. 🙂
@makesomething me gustaría un curso de parte tuya trabajas muuuuy bonitos felicitaciones...
These turned out great. Love floating furniture. Definitely the best one night stand I’ve ever seen lol. Also whale nuts haha! Keep up the good stuff!
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.
