Thank you very much! 🤎

Thank you and I agree! 🤎🖤

Thank you so much! 😊

Veneer comes in various thicknesses, so it’s important for anyone sanding it to use their own discretion. In my video, I started with 120 grit and then decided, based on my own judgment, to go down to 80 grit. As you can see from the final results, no veneer was harmed, damaged, or blown through. Regarding your comment about saws, it should go without saying that safety and discretion are key when using any tool. That’s exactly why I demonstrated what not to do in a panic situation and emphasized the importance of stepping back to assess for a safe and effective solution. I hope you had the chance to watch the video in its entirety before commenting. It pretty much covers these points.

@thecolibri... I did watch the entire video, and I should have stated the the end result was impressive. You are correct about discretion in method and choosing sanding grits. I just don't choose 80 grit on veneer. I tend to work on older pieces with a eye for refinishing, or refreshing. I do a lot of hand sanding. I learned from my grandfather. As to the saws...they're your fingers, Darla n'! In truth, I carry a healthy respect/fear of saws, lol. You, on the other hand, are fearless! Forgive me if my comment was reactionary and lacked grace. I have been known to speak before thinking. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

@@lisaharrod8386 No worries, hope you have a great holiday season as well! 🎉

Haha, thank you! 🤎

Thank you so much and I’m happy you’re here! 🖤

Haha, I'm glad you like it! I'm obsessed with the base as well. 🥰 I agree, the drawer feature on his cabinet was a really nice touch!

I'm so glad you're here! 🤩 Now lets see if I'm able to maintain keeping that container of wood organize 😆

Oh gosh, neither did I! I was sssooo pleasantly surprised!!! Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so much Andrea! 🤎

Awe, thanks! It was actually my favorite out of all the "math" classes 😂

Awe, you're too sweet! Thank you 😊 Oh yes, I hope you get exactly what you asked! You will love it!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you so much Lisa 😀 I try to challenge myself each time I create a new base build! I'm not sure how I will top this one 😆

@@thecolibridesign It's gonna be hard!

Awe, thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰 Welcome to the Colibrí family 🤎

Thank you so much! We just moved into this space, so we’ll see how long it stays organized 😆. A bandsaw is such a game-changer, you won’t regret getting one! I have the WEN bandsaw, which is a great entry-level option if you’re looking for something more affordable. I usually start with budget-friendly tools to see how much I’ll actually use them, and then upgrade to something higher-end once the first one wears out. I’ve had this one for about a year and am still using the original blade it came with. The only issue I’ve run into was the adhesive on the rubber piece between the wheel and the blade giving out, but it was an easy fix with some new adhesive. Since then, it’s been working perfectly!

Thank you so much! That means a lot! 🥰🤎 I was surprised that it didn’t had major damage under that paint!

Thank you Ashley! I'm so happy with how it turned out!

Haha thank you! 😆 I'm so glad you loved the doors! They were truly a lucky find!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you love the base! 🥰🖤

Thank you so much Brenda! That means a lot 🤎

Hmm, well I have a Kreg plunge track saw and we've been enjoying it. It's more pocket friendly as well vs. the Festool. (yet the Festool may be better, I'm not sure) If you only plan to us it a few times out of the year then I think you would be please with the Kreg plunge track saw 👍

Thank you so much! I hope you find the right one to refinish soon!

😂 You're entitled to feel the way you feel!

And I'm entitled to think that no one cares about P_foots opinion 😅

Thank you so much! This was actually a commission piece for one of my clients. It now lives in her spa!

You're totally right! Some people are unaware and safety always comes first! I always make sure my client's are aware, even if I don't mention it on the internet. Thank you for your kind words! 💛

Thanks for the feedback! My client and I were inspired by another creator’s work, tagged in the original comment, which is why we went with this design. I also used threaded inserts on the sides, so if she ever needs to separate the two pieces, she can do it easily with just a flathead. I always appreciate hearing different ideas, it’s fun to see how everyone would approach a piece differently!

@ well here are two more observations and recommendations. I may be wrong but it appears you used Red Oak for the lower piece. Oak tends to have a pretty course texture to it with a very prominent grain when finished. I think Birch would have been a better match. Also adding facia across the front along the bottom shelf would provide additional support and improve look.

Haha, I can totally see what you mean, it does have a fun, compact look to it! My client is using it in her spa to display skincare, so it works perfectly for her. But the coffee set up would of been cool! Oh yeah, I did recommend mounting it in its permanent spot and sent her a link to some mounts to help with that!

Lol, good thing I told my client to bolt this into the wall, right? But hey, thanks so much for your concern!

Thank you so much! 🥰💙

Thank you! 💙

Thank you so much! Happy that you are here! 🖤

Thank you so much! 💙

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! 😊 But I totally get where you’re coming from as a fellow lefty. It can definitely feel like the world isn’t set up for us sometimes, but once you get the hang of it, it gets so much easier. Don’t be intimidated. With a bit of practice, you’ll find your own rhythm with it. I know you’ve got this!

Thank you! It just randomly came to mind one day 😂

Isn’t it so convenient? 😆 it saves so much time!

Thank you! ☺️

Awe, thank you! ☺️🖤

Hahaha the world may never know! 😂 Thank you so much! 🖤
