The editing is amazing on this and absolutely hilarious. The finger condom in the wallet was amazing and the car drive almost had me in tears. Great work guys.

Got really excited when you talked about this video on the podcast. Seemed affordable as something for me and Ali to do. I gotta tell you, you DID NOT disappoint, sir! I know you've decided to not do more 2x4 into fine furniture projects and that's ok! I think this is going to be so inspiring for us to come up with our own projects! Great job and keep 'em coming!

That is really something. Taking the most basic of lumber and making art. Nicely done sir.

You do not talk too much. Your narration is what make your vids so damn interesting. There are others that talk too much but def not you. Keep it up and we’ll keep tuning in! Thanks for the vids.

As much as I've enjoyed previous episodes, how you continue to elevate your editing takes this episode to the next level. Great project and awesome storytelling!

Looks like you had a blast making that! Turned out great! I appreciate how experimental your projects are!

You are quite the guy!! I am 71 years old and have built a bazillion things out of 2x4's, some small, some big, but NONE of them looked like this cabinet. Well done, Sir. Art from Ohio PS; I used to have a 1968 Impala SS fastback - 327 365 hp - turbo 400 - floor shift w/console. I am sure you know it is the twin to your 67, only real difference is the tail lights.

Actually the nicest peice of 2x4 furniture I have ever seen! Inspiring!

I heard about this project on your podcast and am blown away by how nice it looks! Thank you for yet another highly entertaining video, David. I love your creativity and thought it was refreshing to see a KZread creator make nice-looking furniture out of something other than walnut for a change. (Most of the things I make are pine, so I identified with this video quite a bit.)

My father used to make furniture from orange box wood 2 X 1 planed down ,it was in the 50s in UK not much material to be had ,no such thing as an electric drill etc he had a hand plane ,a hand saw,a hand drill and chisels. He would finish the furniture with French polishing and like you he could create fine furniture from nothing. Built a desk for my older sister that eventually became my pride and joy lasted 50yrs it was destroyed in an accident whilst moving ,broke my heart. Thank you for reminding me of the times I used to watch him work and wonder what he would have done with all your magnificent tools.His favourite joint was dovetailing.

I appreciate this vid. There are so many of us starting out and with the way things are now (financially in the US at least) we have to make do with what we can. And I’ve made some amazing (if I do say so myself) stuff with box store lumber and always feel a bit put down by some woodworkers comments on YT. I imagine you are doing this video coz you know most of us are struggling so I encourage you to do more if you see fit. Thank you.

I love your videos. I love that you 'talk too much'. I don't like the videos where there's no talking. I always enjoy your banter. This is beautiful!

The anticipation on the sanding scene about killed me and “sand in the place never played” 💀

If you’re gonna use your fingies for glue, make sure you use protection! Great video dude!

I don't think you talk to much. I like hearing the thought process.... it helps me when I try to build stuff to have the knowledge of your process.

As the viewer of these videos, I must say I love when I hear sanding noises and have a Pavlovian response anxiously anticipating R.E.M. to start playing. Well done, training complete.

Amazing timing on this video! ... I just made a very nice stand for a Nord Piano5 out of fir 2x4's. At Lowes I found the 10' 2bys to be the cleanest needing very little picking through the pile to get just the right boards. I am very happy with my results. The piano stand cost about $25 in materials and about 6hrs of work.

“Festool Biscuits” made me laugh.

Sweet! Nicely done. I don't think you talk too much, normally I would; but you do a great job explaining your process and I love build videos. I started like many others, watching Norm and learning how to build a project, I love that you include your design process,. I lean toward your videos over any others I tend to skip around through. Keep on keepin' on!

I almost spit out my drink when I heard the dial up sound. Great project David!

In fairness I recently built a small nik nak box using cheap spruce wood and after sanding it completely flat and going through the sandpaper grits up to 400 I was left very impressed. The surface was smooth everywhere and felt like glass to the touch. When I applied danish oil it left me with a box that not only shimmers perfectly in the right light but almost reminds me of maple. I never realised how attractive spruce could actually be

Speak your mind. It makes me.feel better cuz inalways feel like I should know what I am doing in the garage and rarely do I have a clue. It's nice to see other woodworkers talking to themselves and working stuff out!

I think it's weird that people comment on how you use a Festool and then switch to Harbor Freight clamps because every woodworker I know, including myself, has a shop full of mismatched brands. What I think is even weirder is that they're commenting on your mismatched tools and not the fact that your shop looks like a techy-type shop instead of a woodworking shop. Yours is one where I would expect to see the tools of your trade being computers and robots ***cough, cough, CNC, cough cough*** instead of saws and clamps. I love that you don't have wood panels for walls and a mostly brown background because it gives us woodworking viewers something different and unique to look at. And by the way, you can never use too much walnut, damn haters 😉. Keep up the good work, man. I also enjoy the banter between you and Daniel. Reminds me of a talk show dynamic where you, the host, talks to the announcer over at the podium. Now we just need a few shots of Daniel while doing his thing during your banter, manning the camera and lights or whatever the heck he does over there. 🤘Rock on, fellas!

This video was a double whammy. One , a great looking table and second, a sweet ride. Love how you are driving around with it in park. My father had a 67 Impala super sport back in the mid 70's. Red with black interior. Table looks so nice. One of these days I'm going to have to try using epoxy.

That looks amazing. I made a Williams-Sonoma inspired bench out of 2x4s and glue for a friend of mine.. The William Sonoma site sold it for about $2000... It cost me about $25 in materials and I sold it to her for $70 (a freak-ton of sanding was required)

I love that you keep things fresh and fun! Keep doing you and thanks for sharing!

I made 3 chairs as a total rookie woodworker. First 2 were out of pallet wood and 3rd was strictly 2x4 wood. I made them for work so people could have something to sit on at breaktime. They loved my chairs so I got offered the maintenance position and a raise. I just love it =)

I love the driving part of the video! When you first started it I was thinking “It would be really funny if he did other backgrounds too...” and then you did! Haha so awesome! And the table ended up looking great!

I think I laughed most when you held your hand out to catch the panel then just let it drop. I always enjoy your videos for both the humor and learning new techniques. Love you, man!

This little cabinet is beautiful and quite a creative design. You did use a tool that most of us don't have, but this project could be done with 'regular' power tools that are in most shops. The build would take longer, but it could be done. BTW: I love the cherry stain and the pentagons on the top. Thanks for the video.

I've been a web developer for 25yrs...going to the shop and working with physical things sounds like a dream.

Lol I'm surprised that Festool didn't break down and start laughing when you put it to an orange store 2x4.

Ok, the timing of the old "sand" joke made me smirk, but the green screen car trip absolutely sent me.

David, I like the way you said you'd modernise the piece, then promptly used a 1920s style on the doors, and the pentagonal tile goes back to 1918, and is called the Cairo style. Love it.

the finger cots in the wallet.....oh my gosh. This video is next level entertainment. From the words on the screen popping out to the jokes, to Bill Murray getting busy in the background. Very nice project too. Your shop seems like the kind of place I'd like to spend some time.....just how it's put together. Very happy place. Thanks David.

The green screen had me rolling and “don’t make me turn this car around” was the absolute perfect way to end it. I’m still laughing. Way to go, David. You hit a home run with this one.

Great Video! I love how groundhog day was just playing in the back. One of my favorites!😍

What the heck, Daniel? Pallets too good for this project? But, seriously, this was a very nice project that raised construction lumber up a couple layers. The pentagonal treatment of the top was fantastic. I, myself, am sort of obsesed with Louis Cubes, but your pattern was great. Nothing says loving better than something coming out of a vacuum bag. GOOD STUFF!

I have a bag for firewood on the workshop. A lot of my projects goes in that bag, at least one time , before I take it back out and find a way to fix it.. ADHD, unmedicated and bad impulse control, is not a great mix. But leave the project for a bit, go out, touch grass (or snow this time of year) go back and see what can be fixed. Don't let motivation be destroyed by minor fault. If it can be hidden out of sight, or only be seen if you point it out, then consider it as perfect!
