Aw, well thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

Sometimes it's nice for us woodworkers to be reminded that something nice can be built without breaking the bank! Good job!

Hi April, I love the fact that you don't over complicate your builds......if you don't need the drawers.....why build them :) A nice straightforward build, and a really nice looking piece of furniture that would look great in any home......Great work!!

Simple and classy looking. Thanks for posting! Btw, for someone that didn't want to do build videos, you're doing a great job at them.

April, I love all your videos, always informative, interesting, and motivating, and always a nice finished job at the end, and the music you use it just the best, good job you.

I really enjoy your videos. I like the voice over style instead of having annoying music playing. The project was just what I needed. I made two changes to fit my needs. There are only two false draw front and the legs are tapered on four sides. Keep up the great work!

Love your enthusiasm!! Your excitement at seeing it all come together is infectious!

Very nicely done April. The top turned out really nice.

great job,you're an amazing carpenter.

I know its five years later but....just replicated this table. Thank you so much for the video. Just what I needed. Made the whole table with "rescued" wood. Instructions were perfect. I will definitely look at you site for more blue prints.

Very nice and love the display. I understand the drawers being personal preference. My personal preference was to eliminate my original walk way table because of the drawers and because I wanted to build something for the wife. I enjoy all your videos and enjoy ur commentaries. Happy and safe building!

Great job you are doing April. You seem to be a natural at this stuff.

Great looking table, I have to admin that I got tickled watching your dogs lay around the shop and when you knelt down two of then immediately ran over wanting attention. You gotta love dogs, they sure make you smile at the most unexpected times. I apologize for digressing but I think the table looks fantastic in the entryway with what you did to the wall. Keep the great videos coming, I love the DIY projects. Regards, Bob

Hi April, Well you've done it again. Excellent job on this practical and decorative piece. It ties in with your white wainscot and stained wood doors perfectly. I appreciate all that you put into sharing these projects with all of us, because they are two projects each. The woodworking part, and the video making part, which I know must burn up alot of time. And you do a brilliant job on both. :) Thank you so much for sharing Ken

April, really like you entry table. I have been wanting to make one and you have demonstrated how I can accomplish this one. I am very thankful! Keep the videos coming. Look forward to every one.

Awesome job. You just keep getting better and better with every video. That looks like the kind of table I need at my back door, we use the back door more than the front.

I really like your videos. They are succinct but informative. You inspire me to get in the shop more. Thanks for what you do for the woodworking community.

Great project video. There are a LOT of channels that make stuff that is really not all that easy to accomplish. You've filled in a space where anyone who has a saw can probably do. I'm actually glad you didn't make tapered legs, working drawers and other touches that can easily go wrong.

Great job! Fits in perfectly in your entry. Good idea to take the first side in and make sure that it works before finishing.

Excellent project. You've given me some great ideas. I've been a hobby woodworker since I was a teen, some 45 years ago. I'm impressed that you've gotten so good, so quickly. Keep up the good work. Very nice camera and audio work as well. The pace was great and the voice-over made it very clear and understandable.

Beautiful table. The pre stain conditioner did an amazing job to let the pine take that stain in so evenly. Hopefully you wont have any movement issues with expansion as its screwed down to the base. Polyurethane looked amazing as well.

What else can I say that hasn't already been said? I'm a bit jealous that you can come up these really cool /simple designs and can execute them almost immediately and I can take up to two weeks and struggle to finish the job, not because I'm not capable (I'm above average at woodworking) but because I put too much thought in it!!

Enjoy watching your work. My type of project. Using the wood we all ready have love to re-use as much as possible

Love this table! I was just thinking there was too much white on your wall from your last project and then you were a couple steps a head of me with a great table to solve that. I will have to pull my Kreg jig out again and see if i remember how to use it. I know my wife would love to see your videos so I sent her the link, but I am afraid she will take over my shop with the inspiration you provide. Keep up the great work!

Nice entry table April! Making the drawers functional would be a nice asset!

It's neat to see how your videos have changed, and how they've NOT changed, over the past couple years ;)

Probably the nicest project I've seen you do.

Nice work on the table April. For someone who didn't want to make build vidoes, you're doing an awesome job - an awesome job for someone who does want to make build videos too. Keep up the good work!

Ever thought about doing a tile-inlaid table or end tables? Don't know if your into that stuff. I just got into tile and quite enjoyed it!

The finished look is fantastic and looks like it was a much more complicated build than it was actually. Very well done. (And the doggos couldn't be more cute!)

Love the design on the fly from a rough conceptual idea, and testing the size in the space it will go. It looks great and the video was great also.

Another great project. From start to finish, you made it simple and doable.

Really like the finish. The stain and paint really make it look classy. Good stuff! Thanks for creating and sharing.

Yep, this looks great. I'm jealous of your workshop, so clean and tidy...

Glad to see an experienced lady handle a lumber project and power tools .

Finally got around to doing this project. Painted the frame black and used red cedar for the tops and drawers then finished off with crystal knobs. Thanks for the simple design. Took about an hour worth of work and maybe $25 in materials which I used scraps from other projects so really only cost a couple bucks for the knobs. Yours turned out awesome by the way.

I was wondering about the design & finish . . . it looks perfect in it's final spot. Great job.

Awesome job April you certainly show that with a little imagination and a lot of ambition you can turn out some beautiful projects and the videos are great as well.Can't wait for the next one Harry from Canada

Great job and a wonderful use of wood just laying around. Time for vacation yet, you're awfully white like me from lack of sun and outdoor activity. Keep these coming.

Really great design, and I like the contrast of the two finishes.

Love it April and love the decorations you have used great job

Really nice work on this. The only thing i would recommend is to apply the stain and varnish before fixing the table top and shelf to remove the potential for getting paint on the surface. The finishing process is coloured with much cursing in my workshop when I forget this.

That table is really nice. In my cabin I need small scale furnishings. I would make the drawers real because I never have enough storage space. And I like the two-tone finish.

Well you know a lot about doing this type of thing by the looks of things, that's a beautiful table that you have made, I like it. I made one some years back with Queen Anne style legs on the front legs about the same size, and used flinch polish on it, we'll done young lady. I loved the video as well. Cheers April. Desmond.

Great execution and finished project April! Finish work and hardware really looks nice in the space, and clever use of the ratchet strap too btw!

That's a nice lumber storage. Keeps everything out of the way. Killer idea of putting the one side in the house to test for depth. Nice table. I like using wood conditioner on soft woods. Keeps it from getting splotchy.

Another great job, April. Looks awesome. I'd make one if I had an entryway with room. Keep up the good work.

April another great project! Simple in and perfect for what its intended to be used for. I admire your "plan as you go" spirit I think we all need to get back to that now and again.

That turned out really nice. Great color combo and I really dig the bike!

Thank you for sharing this. I love the pointers and details you provided...I just found my next project!

My latest project for my wife was a cabinet, 31 inches tall and 16 inches square with an open top with one divider in the middle and the bottom of the open top is 8 inches down from the top and on the left hand side of the open top is a metal piece i bought from amazon that holds a hair dryer, curling iron and makeup brushes. Under the open top I made a 3 inch deep drawer and the open space remaining under the drawer will be used for her hair curlers or rollers, whatever they are called. I make a lot of furniture and have been for a while. I enjoy watching you as, of course, there isn't many young ladies into woodworking, and then, watching you, reminds me of me and how i use to do things when I first started out. Keep up the good work April.
