A handmade bedroom set would be an amazing housewarming gift!

You are truly one determined young woman. All bundled up just to build these nightstands! What I like about your videos are all the little hidden gems you have in them which can be applied to other projects. Thanks for all your hard work and, may I add, excellent videography.

Your designs always yield attractive, solid pieces without the need for super expensive tools or twenty-five years of experience. These are no exception. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice

The available plans are very well done, reasonably priced, easily to follow and well illustrated. I have not found better plans for a hobbyist woodworker. I completed one nightstand and now my neighbor wants me to build one for their home :).

Love the build and your channel, you should get the right angle drill bit, it will definitely help getting into those tight areas

Shara, Happy New Year to you and what a wonderful project to kick it off. I built two night stands which we are still using but I have to tell you they took way longer to complete than yours probably did. Maybe I needed a Bubby for technical support. Barring that, I'd sure be buying your plans for a project like this because I've learned they really take a builder a long ways. It's been down to zero here making my unheated shop not so nice, but like you we expect some warmer temperatures. I understand you need a pause now and then to recharge and keep those creative juices flowing and it looks from that you're in full gear now. Hugs to Lucie and Bubby. Thanks for Sharing!

The nightstands look great next to the bed, perfect combo. Also, good to see you're back. Can't wait for next videos. Have a great weekend Shara. Steve

Thank you! Excited to be back after a later start than I had planned after the new year 😅 can’t wait to share the matching dresser shortly! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for watching!

I just watched this probably a hour ago. And I've just been thinking about it since then. I sleep with a cpap machine which is cumbersome and has tubing. For years I've wondered what could I get that was a nightstand, with shelves but had possibly a door? That way the cpap machine isn't always visible. Then I saw this. I think this would be a great option. It's possible that this could be made and I can add a little door on the front. And the cables can still come out of the back. I don't know why but no one hasn't ever addressed furniture options to store/hide things like cpap machines that are plugged in. But to me that's a whole untapped market. Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate it. Btw, I liked the bubs notification. What a cute and chill little kitty.

Great video as always! Always a simple approach to your build projects, which I admire & personally appreciate. Thank you for always providing us with your best. I know you’ve mentioned people asking/questioning why you don’t show your sanding process or even your cutting process. I’d have to stay all that does is saves you from filming & editing time along with providing more time spent building & explaining when we can the sanding & cutting on all other 99% of woodworking channels. Basically saying there isn’t a need. Keep up the great work! Thank you

Awesome!! Happy New Year!

Beautiful!!!! And I love when the kitty suddenly pops up ❤️❤️

Nice touch having the small shelf up high for books so you can keep books from cluttering the actual top. 👍🏻

Great project. I love how simple it is. But it doesn’t look simple. It’s a great piece of furniture.

This is great! Love these plans. I think I’ll modify them a little by adding a wireless charger in the top slightly routed under neath the top. Or maybe an outlet in the top with usb-a or usb-c chargers. Happy new year

I've just recently come across your channel, and every video I've seen has been great and to the point. A refreshing change to some of the other videos out there

Well, I know I raved about the design of the storage bed, but these nightstands just knock it out of the park. I am not kidding when I say that, once you publish the dresser (looking forward to that!) you should seriously consider submitting this suite to some design competition or magazine or something... this whole set is a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. "Elegantly simple." Things I love about the video itself: 1. the snazzy new animated logo intro, 2. the cool new subtitles with extra tidbits, 3. the unobtrusive way you integrated the sponsor bit, 4. some interesting new camera angles, 5. etc. etc. etc.... P.S. 6. Bubs, 7. Sock Monkey!!!!!!😁🤣😉 Happy New Year and welcome back!

I really like the light colored stain. Dark stains seem very popular on woodworking channels but I think the light shades bring out the wood and work better in rooms. Thanks.

I’m sure I have a lot of videos to go back and watch (as I sure you are aware, I can’t seem to watch one of your videos without finding some reason the comment!). I like those nightstands though, so now I need to go watch the bed build, and wait for the dresser. On the real though, I’m glad I’ve found my back to your channel. I’ve had a lot going on with the VA and my disabilities from combat, as well as just being a soldier, but hey, that came with the job. Okay, I’m not going to ramble too much right here.

Great video! How do you keep your pieces from moving when using pocket holes? I always struggle with them.

You do not always use table saw, are you still able to get precise cuts that are sufficiently straight/square?

Does the cold effect your staining?

Do you make your own dowels? And nice build on those nightstands!

Shara: Another great build!! Always enjoy your projects. I've bought several of your plans and am in the middle of building your 2 drawer filing cabinet. I did notice that, for this project, rather than using pre-cut 2/2's you ripped a 2x4 (I assume at premium 2x4). As a 'newbie" woodworker I'm struggling with the curves and twists I'm finding in 2x2's How have you dealt with that? Would you now recommend the method you used in this project. Rip a premium 2x4 to get a straighter 2x2 board. Thanks!

@WoodshopDiaries

4 ай бұрын

Hi! Thanks so much for your purchase and support of my small business! Yes I almost always rip my own 2x2s. You can learn more about why and how here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/woodworking-tips-square-edges-make-your-own-2x2s/

Those look great. Did you consider doing oak panels vs plywood? I know pricing in plywood has been coming down, but wonder if solid wood be comparable?

@WoodshopDiaries

4 ай бұрын

I didn’t consider it. One reason: wood movement considerations. Second reason: glue up time to make the panels. Third reason: it’s SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper (at least where I live) for hardwood plywood than solid hardwood. A 3/4” sheet of red oak is about $88 and the equivalent amount of lumber (4’x8’) in, for example, 1x6s would be roughly $575.

“Not strong” isn’t a measurement. That’s subjective. MDF may work fine for some applications and not work great for others. It really depends on what you’re using it for whether it’s a good choice of material. Personally I don’t like MDF so I don’t use it in much of anything. My experience with it is very limited.
