DIY Live Edge Cabinet | How To
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I've been wanting to build a live edge cabinet for the longest time and finally got the chance to do so with a beautiful oak slab! Even cooler, it has adjustable shelving to house electronics and board games. I'm so stoked on this build and hope you guys love it too!

If you are going to paint over it, you can use this product from Bondo: www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Bondo-12-fl-oz-Wood-Filler-30081/206680651 It is a two part chemical that you mix, but it dries completely, ready to sand in about 15 minutes. It only has about five to ten minutes of working time after you mix it, so make small batches. They say it is able to take stain but I have not tried that. It works fantastic for painted surfaces.
This is a beautiful cabinet. Please, continue to make videos like this.

@@diyhuntress I enjoy doing woodworking myself but my job takes about 98% of my time and I dont have many woodworking tools anymore after my divorce. But I plan on getting more and doing more woodworking
Great project. Great video. I'll be using these plans to build an outdoor cabinet for my bar and smoker supplies. To weight down the center of large glue-up panels and boards I bought 25-lb bags of lead shot (available on Amazon). The don't take up much room in the shop and will conform to odd shapes when necessary.
This is perfect! Thank you for sharing your builds with us!

You need to also oil the bottom of that slab to help preserve the wood. Otherwise, the top and bottom of the slab will move differently and you will get a cup shape to the top because the bottom will absorb moisture and expand while the top is sealed and remains more stable. Voice of experience.

If you prime with a Shellac based primer it is helpful in both ply and edge banding absorbing moisture and bubbling from a water based latex top coat, and it sands nice to give a really smooth top coat. Good looking project!!

excellent video. I like the way you show your mistakes, we all make them. where did you score that slab? I think on the other half of the slab you should try using Nakashima style butterfly to stabilize it instead of the epoxy - you are ready for the challenge. and lastly I find it incredibly awesome that you respond to all comments!

What! This makes me so, so stoked! Thank you so much for all of the love! I vote you start with a miter saw or circular saw, drill, and sander. If you’re willing to hand sand, I’d swap the sander for a nailer. You might have seen them, I have some three-tool projects that are great starter projects for limited tools. Good luck on your journey!

Looks awesome but my I suggest next time you paint use Valspar paint you get 3 price options a low medium and high price go for the medium price you can get a paint and primer in valspar and usually only need 2 coats and have complete coverage withought a separate primer But like I said looks beautiful
