There are so many maker channels that make it look easy, because they don't show the moments of frustration. It's self affirming for regular Joes to see the mistakes the pros make. Fisher's Shop does the same thing.
Was taught this in my apprenticeship days, a slight deviation on this great comment. "A great chippy isn't one that doesn't make mistakes its one that knows how to fix them."
You call these mistakes but they don’t even seem to phase you when fixing them. You’re a magician who makes the mistakes disappear. Let’s get to 1 mil subs!
Great build, Brad. This is perfect timing for me, my brother just asked me if I could build him a valet tray. Love the hidden drawer mechanism. Awesome stuff!!
This video is the one for which I've been searching forever. Thank you for giving a detailed step by step of your process. I feel more confident to make my own design after seeing this. Much appreciated!
The look of joy on your face when you come up with a solution is priceless! Very interesting topic and combining mechanical curiosity and woodworking is inspiring! Great video and I hope you have more like this in the pipeline.
It is totally AWESOME to see someone of your expertise and caliber being honest and showing that you are just a fallible as the rest of us mere mortals in the woodworking field!!! Thank you young Sir for helping me not feel so bad about my mistakes that I have had with my projects!!! 🙏🙏 🤜🎆🤛
I’d be really interested in seeing a hidden “drawer” type section of furniture (maybe a coffee table or something) that incorporates suspension. Imagine: put down a mug of coffee, the bottom of the table drops 🤔
@@dswaney1975 Yeah, that happens to you too? I thought they just packed extra screws in those kits for kicks... And I'd regret making the table top sooo heavy as it is now resting on top of my foot.... "secret drawer"?? how about an anti-intruder security coffee table that fights back?
I don't know how to do anything mechanical, but I think that if you have a scale underneath that sends a signal to electromagnets holding the bottom of the table up, it could work.
i watched this without sound today, and well, i am telling you the faces and joy, were precious. that was truly enjoyable. Love your channel, keep it up.
@10:43 nearly brought me to tears. "Bailed on the orange and we probably won't have a football season" you're right but what a shot in the gut. Go Vols!
I'm coming up to my final exams in woodwork and materials and your idea with a wireless charger is really awesome and Im going to try and integrate it into my design, thanks so much man love your work
Brad thank you for the candid video. Too many makers will not show the mistakes, but by doing so you show that you're human. It reminds me of the puzzle boxes that were sold in Turkey (early '80s) that were jewelry boxes. You had to move 2 or 3 pieces to get to the key and another to get to the lock. Did you consider a magnetic catch imbedded into the charger section?
@@Fixthisbuildthat Just keep the entertaining videos coming. I can appreciate the hard work that put into each project/video as I know that it takes time. Also, thanks to your wife for supporting you too.
Love the hidden feature videos you have been doing. Maybe something along the lines of a coffee table with hidden remotes, charging stations, etc... Or a lockbox for delivered packages
Love the design! With all the outdoor projects you were posting, what about hidden spare key storage? I'm new to the craft but trying to come up with key storage myself.
hello i'm brazilian and i don't understand english very well but i'm in love with your channel your simple ideas but that is very useful for our day to day, and you explain each detail very well thanks
Great build! Could you have drilled a small hole in the secret drawer to accommodate the longer pin? I'm thinking that would aide in securing the drawer.
I got the perfect build for you, because im already in the process of building it. It is a nice book hutch for a bed room. It has two cabinets on the bottom on either side and an open shelf in the middle. Above this is two drawers side by side. The top is 3/4 walnut plywood with edge banding. The book shelf is inset from the two sides 6 inches and 4 inches from the front. The feet run all the way up the corners to meet the top. There are two angled cuts on the feet one is from the inside corners runing to the floor. The other is only along the sides running from the base to where it meets the table top. Great video thanks.👍🤠
I've just found your channel. Thanks so much for not editing out the mistakes. None of us is perfect, and it's great to see how you think through your fixes. The finished job looks great too. !!
That's a beautiful project. I love the contrast between the walnut and the blue epoxy. The locking mechanism is genius, but the whole pull-reverse-push unlock is a little awkward. It also puts the longer pin inside the drawer when in the locked position, so it's likely to catch on or poke hole in some of the drawer's contents at some point. I would have liked it if the center of the R was a push-button release, like the button on your nightstand project. You could have filled the letter with blue epoxy to match what you used on the bottom, or you could still fill it with clear epoxy even now. Or, find some nice bright blue glow in the dark additive for the epoxy fill so the letter lights up in the dark.
That sure was a nice build. First time seeing one of your builds. Am so gonna check out some of your other work. Makes me want start making something again.
These projects are so much fun! Could you do a shelf with a hidden compartment in a linen closet or a book case? I don't know how you would do it I just think something completely unassuming like a linen closet would be a good place to have a hidden stash. Keep up the great work!
Great video. I'm with everyone else , the mistakes just verify that you are a real person and not some "edited RUclipsr" who never makes mistakes !! Awesome job bro👊🏼
Will you PLEASE post the plans for this or make them available for purchase on your website?? I bought all of your plans so far but I want this one the most!
I love seeing the mistakes, you aren't pretending to be perfect and it makes the videos much more informative (and entertaining).
I'm definitely good for providing entertainment at my own expense 😂😂
For us mere mortals, seeing how you cope with the whoopsies is really helpful.
I love the mistakes kept in the video and the work arounds that are come up with. I love them!
There are so many maker channels that make it look easy, because they don't show the moments of frustration. It's self affirming for regular Joes to see the mistakes the pros make.
Fisher's Shop does the same thing.
Be cause of this i love his chanel ☝🤗
Don't judge a man on his mistakes, judge him on how he fixes them.
Exactly! 💪 💪
That is some wisdom i did not expect from a youtube comment section.
Love this quote
Was taught this in my apprenticeship days, a slight deviation on this great comment. "A great chippy isn't one that doesn't make mistakes its one that knows how to fix them."
Don't judge anyone at all
You call these mistakes but they don’t even seem to phase you when fixing them. You’re a magician who makes the mistakes disappear. Let’s get to 1 mil subs!
When you make as many mistakes as me you get good at fixing them 😂😂. And 1M is getting close!! 🙌
I love that you said "Go Vols!" then followed it immediately by pouring those beautiful Florida Gator colors! nice project!
Those are Lady Vols colors 😉 much lighter blue
@@Fixthisbuildthat Well...you did pour a darker blue to make up for it...so...Go Gators :)
Almost a million subs worth of experience and this man still gets excited when it comes together! That’s why this channel is one of my favorites.
Still gets me every time!
Fix This Build That love it brother! Thanks for the content!

Nice Brad. I was already planning to make valet trays for all of my nephews for Christmas. Now they will be your design. Thanks!
Awesome, they will love them!
The look of joy on your face when you come up with a solution is priceless! Very interesting topic and combining mechanical curiosity and woodworking is inspiring! Great video and I hope you have more like this in the pipeline.
Turned out amazing. Thanks for the honesty and showing people that mistakes are how we learn and grow. Nobody is perfect.
Mistakes = being real & human = viewer acknowledges himself being real & human = inspired, subscribed & ready to do some projects!
That blue and walnut looks awesome. Love that combo
Yeah, I dig it too
So awesome the smile and laugh for every small milestone. Like watching a kid on Christmas opening his gifts.

Sounds like something I would make, but the bottom falling out would be accidental (I knew I forgot to glue something)

Your laugh when something works make me smile. I can totally relate.
Veramente bello!
Mi piacciono tantissimo gli scompartimenti segreti...BRAVO
Great Project. I am glad you went with the dark blue. Go Ole Miss, sorry couldn’t help myself. Bryan
hahaha, just keep it in the SEC
i watched this without sound today, and well, i am telling you the faces and joy, were precious. that was truly enjoyable. Love your channel, keep it up.
Mistakes are awesome. It shows your learning process. Everytime you make one, you learn and grow a little. Keep making awesome videos!
@10:43 nearly brought me to tears. "Bailed on the orange and we probably won't have a football season" you're right but what a shot in the gut. Go Vols!
I feel ya, man. I really want Pruitt to have a great year...but we'll see
I'm coming up to my final exams in woodwork and materials and your idea with a wireless charger is really awesome and Im going to try and integrate it into my design, thanks so much man love your work
Good luck! 💪 💪

Waiting to include magnets into future builds. Wanted to use just pure mechanics for first few

Dude, that's amazing, I really love the secret drawer stuff like you did with the night stand table, awesome build!!
Glad you liked it!!
That was super cool, love your honesty in what goes wrong as well as what works...
hello i'm brazilian and i don't understand english very well but i'm in love with your channel your simple ideas but that is very useful for our day to day, and you explain each detail very well thanks
Brad, what a great project! And the music, transitions, work shots just keep getting better! 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
That’s Awesome! Love the colors. Just like the wooden watches
A wooden watch would look cool with it 👍
Great new build! They're not mistakes, they are learning opportunities. Learn to fix it, make use of it, or decorate it! Life is about learning.
I respect this man for showing his mistakes and how he fixes them
Awesome project brad hidden drawers are sooo cool. Get idea getting rid of the orange. GO DAWGS
This is great, not just your build but the video and instructions as well. Keep this up man.
Great video. It is refreshing that not everyone on RUclips is without flaws.
Great build! Could you have drilled a small hole in the secret drawer to accommodate the longer pin? I'm thinking that would aide in securing the drawer.
Awesome build! Would have loved to see it where you press the monogram to open the drawer.
Totally need this! So cool with the epoxy and secret compartment!
hidden compartments and drawers are very cool. Great build Brad
I loved the simplicity of this locking mechanism!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!
Great project. You should drill a hole in the drawer bottom so the long pin will fit in and add additional security from accidental opening.
I liked this before even watching it lol. After watching, I like it even more. Well done!
4:13 giving me Portal vibes. Exact same colors and I love it

I literally cant build anything, but I'm in awe of your creations. Love it!
Probably the best how to video I’ve seen to date. Love seeing the mistakes. Thanks Brad
Wow, thanks!
Fantastic work, your reactions are on spot!
Thank you very much!
wow, that's cool! It's not an easy work. You are genius. 👍
I love how it worked when you didn't include the UT orange 🤣 Hello from East Tennessee!
Easiest subscribe of my youtube life. Not even 6 minutes in. Great stuff
Thats a beautiful valet tray. I love the hidden drawer feature! Great work!
Thanks so much! 😊
you have so much patience and ideas on how to fix mistakes, you could make a house!
Witchcraft! You, Sir, are a wizard. Awesome build! Subscribed.
Excellent project. Please consider making a passive speaker with some cool twist :)
Fantastic Design & Awesome Enthusiasm! Cheers for the inspiration.
I've just found your channel. Thanks so much for not editing out the mistakes. None of us is perfect, and it's great to see how you think through your fixes. The finished job looks great too. !!
Thank you for sharing your talents and skills. Very enjoyable and entertaining.
Awesome. Your channel is very real man. Love this!
Fantastic build, love the hidden drawer and how you problem solved to make that work👍
Just found your channel and have been binge-ing your videos...this was incredible!
This was a great project. The hidden drawer is ingenious.
Great build Brad!
I’d buy one, that’s awesome! And the nightstand secret compartment, that’s awesome too.
great pojects....wish i had a shop so well equipped ... love the channel...keep up the great work !!
What a beautiful shop. Oh and ,the project was cool as well.
Brad, dude. You crack me up so much. First: to call you "friend" is worth every epoxy *learning* moment. Second: this is beautiful!
😜 I have lots of learning moments
Do you prefer a specific card scraper or are they mostly created equal? Didn’t see it in the tools list of the vid... thanks for the creative content!
this is my preferred one amzn.to/32kf1TA
Great video! I'm learning new building techniques and this will help.
Loving these hidden features!
Me too!
Rall my projects include fixing screw ups. That is what woodworking is. Nice job!
Loved the Vols comment! Also love all of your work! Lots of fun projects
Really cool Brad, awesome job! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
thanks, Fred!
Awesome build on this tray
New to woodworking started when off for 6 weeks for pandemic. Really enjoy until I heard that Go Vols!! 😆 🤣
War Eagle!!
Best how to videos I’ve seen, u explain things to a t, thanks I enjoy watching and learning
man you are so awesome i like the way you dont pretend to make mistakes you are genious on your projects
That pretty cool! Like the idea of hidden drawer.
Very cool. Well done 👍
Thanks 👍
This is ridiculously cool! Do you recommend taking the top pad off of the charger to descrease the density the charge has to travel through?
That's a beautiful project. I love the contrast between the walnut and the blue epoxy.
The locking mechanism is genius, but the whole pull-reverse-push unlock is a little awkward. It also puts the longer pin inside the drawer when in the locked position, so it's likely to catch on or poke hole in some of the drawer's contents at some point.

That sure was a nice build. First time seeing one of your builds. Am so gonna check out some of your other work. Makes me want start making something again.
Turned out nice Brad good stuff
Thank you!
These projects are so much fun! Could you do a shelf with a hidden compartment in a linen closet or a book case? I don't know how you would do it I just think something completely unassuming like a linen closet would be a good place to have a hidden stash. Keep up the great work!
Love watching you make this stuff! It's so cool!
You're getting the mechanisms down for these secret compartments. I can't wait to see what's in store next!
Great video. I'm with everyone else , the mistakes just verify that you are a real person and not some "edited RUclipsr" who never makes mistakes !! Awesome job bro👊🏼
Will you PLEASE post the plans for this or make them available for purchase on your website?? I bought all of your plans so far but I want this one the most!
GR8 Valet build Mr. Bourne
I really liked this. Very nice job.
I'm really enjoying these hidden compartment builds, Brad! And I'm I right to assume that I've seen that leather key chain before?!?!
Boom! Making a cameo on the channel, bro!
Excellent. Does the power cable detach if you wanted it to
Very cool! Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool build!
Sensational! I love it!
Nice project!
Thanks!
Man, when you laugh I can't help but smile. I can feel your pure joy and happiness from your successes hehe
😊 thank you
Great job Buddy!
This would make an amazing D&D dice tray where it could hold your mini and dice below and be a nice open dice tray at the top.
