Woodworking: Making a Valet Stand (A FANCY clothing rack)
My wife asked me to build her a valet stand. Admittedly, I had no idea what this was. Apparently, it's a place to lay out your clothes for the following day so that you can prepare your outfit. It needs a place to hang a jacket and a shirt, a place for pants, a shelf for a sweater, a drawer for undergarments, and a spot for shoes. I decided to make this piece look extra fancy and built it using finger joints with my box joint jig and some decorative bent slats in the sides. The finished product is quite possibly the prettiest thing I've ever made. Check out the build video and watch as this thing comes together and then just try to keep your jaw from dropping when the finish goes on.

Charlie Sheen! Ha! 😃😃 That valet is some beautiful work, Drew. 👍 And good job single-handedly keeping flat-head screws alive 🫡

Thanks, Marc!
That drawer bottom should be a little undersized, anyway, to allow for a tiny bit of movement with changes in humidity. Sure, plywood doesn't move nearly as much as solid boards, but it's still going to move a little. And it looks like your wife gives excellent instructions. You made it pretty.
Just beautiful, I don't know what else to say, just beautiful. Thank you for letting me watch. ❤

I enjoy your voice over among all wood working you tubers. The work you do is high quality, the out takes are needed. They remind and encourage everyone, regardless of skill to work wood, we all make mistakes, over coming and correcting them is hobby wood working. The end result is seen in the beautiful looking valet stand!

The curly maple is beautiful. I am in love with this build. I want one so much ❤
Really, really sharp. I think we will be seeing that style showing up in the wood working world a whole new style. Just beautiful. By the way, loved the Tommy Boy t-shirt - made me think about Tommy doing the Maniac dance at the gas station...classic. Well done as always.

Ok I'll agree that this is an absolutely stunning piece, however, have you tried introducing your wife to the wonders of the chair? You can place all your clothes there, if you get a wooden dining room style chair you have a "hangar" back, a rail for trousers, and a whole seat bottom to place bits and pieces! Better yet, you don't need to spend hours and hours making another bit of furniture 😅😅 Ok I'd have that in my house, I'd probably never use it, but I'd display it with pride!
You absolutely crushed the execution, you mad man!

Turned out very nice....love watching the outtakes, especially when you were trying to get the bottom out of the drawer. The whole time I'm thinking just run it through the table saw, or use a plane to shorten it. No need to pull it out IMHO...but it was funny watching you struggle. lol

Great video as always Drew! Beautiful piece too. When you were trying to take the draw bottom out you could have just shaved it down with a block plane instead of struggling. But of course then we wouldn't have had the outtake. 😀

I gotta say that I have no need or desire for a valet and thought them boring as they are normally too weak and frail looking. I watched the video well because its one of yours and therefor worth it. As usual it was worth more than the video's running time. Another great job sir. Except for one thing now I want one....

For the error with the drawer bottom where it was too long, just leave it in place and trim it with a block plane. Two or three passes and you should be golden.
