I've learnt more from this one video than from spending hours watching some of the bigger woodworking channels honestly my new favourite channel to watch
wow I am truly honored by your comment. Thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot. I make these videos with the intention that someone will get some value or insight from them, laugh a little, and hopefully learn from my mistakes, but I did not expect a great compliment like this! Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hi there. Old timer, woodworker here. Just a comment on your dowel drilling, for the top. That red & black Jointmaster that you were showing , actually drills perfectly in the middle of the wood’s edge. You were sliding it across the wood edge, but actually upside down. That’s what those four “ legs” are for on the other side of the Jointmaster. Put the Jointmaster on the wood edge, with those pins/ legs facing down. Now just twist the device till opposing pins lock onto the wood. PERFECTLY in the middle😊 Other than that, I enjoyed your humour. Many guys have forgotten WHY we started woodworking and come across SO serious, on their videos. It’s therapeutical, but also just relaxing and having FUN. Ps. Like the little “ subscribe” notes that you sneak into the video😊 Good luck with your channel, young man. Hannes
I actually just watched a video on RUclips that the manufacturer made and finally learned how to use it properly! You are absolutely correct, you can make do that. It didn't come with any directions (to be honest I probably wouldn't have read them) so I looked up a video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Hannes! I enjoy when older people share what they know! I think it is awesome, and possibly not as well respected, honored, or performed as much as it used to be. By the way, Jesus loves you! And He is coming back soon for a bride ready to meet Him. God bless you, Jason, and everyone who reads this,
Love your videos, you do research, and make it amusing, please keep them coming! Still want to see you build a bench....I currently am working on an all in one that will be done soon, table saw, router table, spindle sander/ belt sander, jointer, a couple banks of drawers, parts bins, miter saw with drop, to make more bench space, all electrical within the bench and dust collection, with an easy blast gate design...I have been working on this for the last year and watched many youtube videos to get to this point..... but, still, have a stand alone planner cart, that still needs an upgraded bed..... I'll show to if your interested once I am done...I spent, alot of time watching videos to get to this point and it maybe the best I can do.... it is about 11' long and just over 4' wide, which should in most garages.... please send me your contact info, if your interested
Been woodworking for 40+ years. Made mistakes all along the way but keep going and learning. That is why I am on you tube....to learn things I have not done or thought of. Have learned many things from new woodworkers. Great table. Thanks for the humor.
Just built my wife something similar, but she wanted both sides and one across the back with recessed upshot lighting and inset power. I went into it thinking no way I could make it look anything other than terrible, but it ended up being one of the things I'm most proud of.
That’s awesome! You really went all out on your build. Sometimes I go into most builds not knowing if its going to be a dumpster fire or a great build.😂😂 Thank you for the comment.
Hi from the UK, hobbyist wood worker, I worked in engineering as a detail fitter for a large chunk of my life, however, I find working with wood quite challenging, when you cut steel, by whatever method and finish it using a.file, milling cutter, or grinding, the finished state is not changed much by temperature, humidity etc, whereas wood particularly the softer variety is very susceptible to the vagaries of the climate, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this video, for the content, the presentation, humour, and for the education, good to see others making stuff that doesn’t just immaculately fit together after have been subjected to £3000, table saw, jointer, planer thicknesses, ya di ya. All in a workshop that looks like a high end surgical operating room, that in no way resembles my little garden shed. Thanks for keeping it real, and as for your project, well done something achievable for us lesser mortals, and also very useful. Take care,and be safe.
Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement. I would love to add some steel work to my skillset. If I get a bigger shop with more room I might add some steelworking tools. (i don't think steelworking is a word) 😂 I am a little nervous about doing steel work in a wood shop because it seems like a recipe for a good fire. All the sparks around my super saw dust coated shop might be asking for trouble. Do you think Its a bad Idea to mix the two?
The best part of the video is your message at 13:56 ... Reminds me of a good quote, "The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can't learn to drive in a parked car." :)
Thank you, now I wish I would have said something smart like you said!! 😂 I see a lot of videos where more professional woodworkers say not to use pine but I feel like when you are just learning its better to mess up a cheap piece of pine learning then an expensive hardwood.
Thanks @@jascogoods but ... I didn't say it. :) I quoted someone else. Who? I have no idea. :) What you said was perfect so ... there ya go. I enjoy your videos and subscribed.
Actually, I am 67 now, and at 14 years ole at my snappy age, I learned to drive in a parked car. And then, one day after getting used to the radio, seat, more radio, mirrors, more radio, checking all my blind spots, more radio….., and then, one day I got brave, and I backed up out of the “parkway” ( can’t call it a driveway as it was in the back of the house). Backed up into the lane way, behind all our houses, then forward, then back, a tad narrow, and then, I shot “like a bat out of hell” to the street, 70 meters away. Looked for suspicious folks, yup no cops around, and turned right, drove 300 meters, always checking my mirrors for those damn suspicious folks, and then turned right. Drove about 100 meters, turned right again ( this counters all those racing programs that turn left), and drove 300 meters, and turned right, avoiding this thick metal filled with concrete that safe guarded the corner of my neighbours garage. Then immediately turned left, then backed up, listening to the radio, then forward, listen to the radio, then backed up, then forward, ….. and then …… safe! Back in our narrow parkway. Phew, tomorrow, I think I will do two, turns in the lane way, but of course, looking out and avoiding those suspicious folks, that like ruining a fun time. I grew up in Toronto, Canada, and finally was legal to drive at 15.
@@jascogoods Thank you for that, and yes, I love writing/telling stories. Have been all my life. I am not from Canada, but came here at the ripe young age of almost 3, two weeks on a boat to Halifax from Greece. So that der englize was a total pain in my butt, in der schoole (german was easier to learn go figure). I failed englize every year in high school, and repeated it every year in summer school. You can imagine, part of my summers as a wee high school lad sucked, and not the fun type. Well, not so wee, as I was into everything else in school, sports, student council, clubs, etc, standing 5'11" by the time I finished. Oh yeah, englize, my nemesis, as all my other subjects, including learning German where no problem. Yet, would you believe, my memory was so darn good, that a week into the summer schedule, the englize teacher would be mad at me for being there, and yet would pull me onto the front as the assistant teacher. Why do you ask, because I could recite anything I read the previous year and failed at, and every test I took ( I still had to do the finals so the rest of the students would not bitch) I would pass between 97-100% correct. The teachers could not figure out why I was there. Kept trying to tell them, I am Greek, your damn language gives me a pain in the a...., and find it easier the second time around for it to sink in. Mind you, I am the only student the high school librarian looked for in our 15 year reunion, as I was her Hero, in that I read almost every book in that high school library, but that is for another time and story. So, what was I replying to again, oh yeah, doing YT content. I also should state , that I was a member of the photography and art club in high school, and after college I actually worked in the photography field for almost ten years. Yet during that time I would look at still pictures and thought, "hmmm, I wonder how they would look moving", aka shooting a video. Which back in those days, was not an easy or cheap alternative to the bucks I already spent on my Nikons, 4x5, and 2 1/4, plus all the equipment. Though now I am updated, and I do have a Panasonic digital camera, albeit a tad older then the current models, and a DJI 3 Pro drone, and a few other video/photography related things. Just is, not enough time in the day, with all my hobbies, and currently focusing on woodworking and making it a side hustle, as idle minds and hands, lead to forget evil, being m.o.f,.o bored. Though I enjoy the creative process in building and finishing things, not only just in an artistic process. Therefore, I would suck at telling stories and such on YT, with finding time to shoot during what ever I might be doing, and then the countless hours in editing the video. Similar to reading what I just wrote and going back and editing it. Phew, feel like I am back in school, not being paid! 😂Cheers friend.
Love the video. A tip for the cupped board you used for the top. If you place the board with the cupped side up you can squeeze it down with a clamp in the centre of the board. This way if the board splits the crack will be on the bottom of the board and you won't see it. Construction lumber will always twist, cup, or bow if you leave it on the shelf without clamping it down. You could also cut it into rough lengths as soon as you get it home and stack it with a weight on top.
Thank you for the comment and the advice. I need to set up a good place for letting wood sit to dry. I have a wood rack but its not set up to clamp the wood. Good call on the cupping direction. thanks
Definitely want to try and make one for my wife. Great job ❤. Just a suggestion, before you open the can of stain/paint, put a large rubber band across the middle on the bottom, excess to the side, open the can and stretch the rubber over the top in the middle, wipe your brush on the rubber band, this will keep the channel dry.
Hey there. I just stumbled onto your channel and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like a regular guy and not spewing bullshit. Listening to you talk is like hanging out with my friends and is refreshing so I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you I really appreciate that. Its really hard to not sound funny or stiff when you are making a video by yourself so I'm glad to hear its mostly in my head.
LookingGood. Plaining the woof and champer the enges will look good. I use good yellow pind and use the planer, joiner nd sancer. That takes away the "lumber look"
I love the fact that you show everything even the mistakes. I'm a woodworker also and most of my projects never come out like i intend them to. Lol. They are usually slightly off on everything some how. Lol i dont know i just go with the flow. Hey lifes not perfect why should anything else be. 😂😅
That is an awesome statement!! "lifes not perfect why should anything else be" I am going to start using that. I started showing my mistakes because I would have felt like a fraud trying to hide them and I didn't want anyone thinking I was pretending to be a woodworker because I'm not. 😂😂😂 Thank you for the comment.
Nice job. Some advice for all of those that are going to use the soaking wet southern yellow pine from the big box stores. Stack it with stickers and let it dry for a few weeks. Then mill it or have it milled to your final dimensions. You will be more pleased with the result.
Just found tour channel, really enjoying it. Province goes to Provincial the same way Torrent goes to Torrential. The 'ci' in the middle gets slurred into a kind of "ch/sh" sound.
Thank you I appreciate that, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to trick them by pretending to be a professional. I'm just trying to share ideas with other amateurs. Wish I had RUclips when I started.
Love the video and your sense of self deprecating humour. Pretty funny for a 'mercan. One tip I've found useful is to put your cut/milled boards into a plastic bag (trash bag) and close (seal with a knot) the end until you are ready to assemble. You get less moisture transfer that way and it reduces the amount of cupping/bowing in your stock until you get to assemble it, especially if you're cutting one day and assembling another. Nothing worse than coming into your workshop the next day and finding all your boards twisted/bowed/cupped. Don't ask me how I know 😀
don't worry, I'm American, one of our Presidents invented "don't ask don't tell" 😂 Thank you for all the encouragement and tips. I will definitely try that trash bag thing.
I know I was watching a condensed version of your build and specifically the finishing. Pro tip, make sure that when you add a coat of poly. or any finish for that matter, make the last brush stroke one continuous stroke from end to end or top to bottom, with the grain. Those brush dabs to get missed areas will show in the final product. This was a good build, congrats.
@@jascogoods Get some of those Wooster Brushes from the orange store, they are adequate for finishing. Also, learn to love the process of finishing. It is the finish that we see last but the recipient sees first. Good Luck
I love the humility and humor. It's refreshing to see someone on this platform admit to making mistakes and learning as you go. That's how I can relate to you. 😊
You Rock🎉 I miss working with wood and creating usable things.😢 I have some of the tools but had my table saw, miter saw and skil saw stolen. I found you today and watched your videos until i was cross-eyed 😵💫 You have reignited my love of building things so next year I will replace the tools and add a few more. Don't Change Who You Are! 💪🏼
First off thank you so much for the super encouraging comment, you are awesome!! Now you inspired me to make more videos!! 😂 Second, I am so sorry to hear someone stole your tools! I would be heart broken if someone stole my tools. Thieves suck!
I agree with you; I think it turned out great. You had me worried for a while about whether this would work out, being dimensional lumber. I like the style you did, and overall, it's functional and looks good in your living room. Good job.
The idea of using a furniture dolly for finish work is a good one. Probably most of the woodworkers you know are already using it, but it's a new idea to me. Thanks.
Just subscribed. Side table looks great. When I make anything I usually use cheap timber. At least if it goes wrong it hasn't cost too much, just time. Tip: I always use a riving knife on my table saw. Helps kickback, but to each his own.
Thank you and I agree on the cheap timber! My table saw riving knife is all part of this whole contraption that's supposed to sit on top of the saw. Its heave and awkward to use so I never have it on. I tried to find a universal after market one that would fit it but I didn't have any luck.
I’ve been woodworking for more than fifty years and I very much agree with your comment about learning with inexpensive, construction grade lumber. No need to buy insanely expensive hardwoods in the beginning. Loved the build. Well done.
No problem, I just bought more myself because I ran out. Thank you for the comment. I noticed you name. I used to live in different parts of Maryland when I was a kid. Catonsville is the only one I remember because I was so young.
I love the advice- practice and learn to use your tools! So many don’t try because they don’t know- none of us knew how until we learned!!! I’m not an expert but when I learned even the beginning woodworking, I loved it❤
You earned a click and subscribe because you are being honest. You showed your inspiration and need, admitted to using construction lumber and how to make it better. Your CA glue tips are on point. For your fence-if you hold the handle up and out a bit as you slide it to the desired measurement, it won't move on you when you lock it down. That happens even on SawStops-its just a thing with that style fence. Keep doing what your doing-you'll keep improving
Thank you for the sub, the comment and most importantly thanks for the encouragement, Its really appreciated. Although I'm a little disappointed because I thought when I got a new saw I wouldn't have to deal with this!! 😂😂😂 I'm still telling my wife I need a new saw!!
Well done! If you don't point out the flaws to anyone else they won't look for them. One piece of advice I can offer you would be to use a separate small container to put your clear finish in. This will prevent you from contaminating the large can of finish with any particles coming off the project. Also you should not wipe the brush on the inside rim of the can. That leaves the drips to congeal there and later fall into the finish. If you are going to dip into the original container it is a good practice to slap the brush on the inside of the can wall to get rid of the excess on the brush. Ask any painter and they will show you this method. Keep building I look forward to your next project!!
Thank you brother, you are 100% right. Its funny you say that because I normally say that about using another container and show it in my videos but being in a hurry I just used the can. I guess I should practice what I preach! 🤣🤣🤣
Looks awesome! Sometimes when I use dowels like you did on the top, I like to use a different color wood, and then go all the way through leaving the dowel visible, then cut it flush. If you did that here and left them unstained it would give a cool contrast and add just a little bit more to the look of the table.
that is a really good idea. I really like the look when you can see the dowels when its done right. I could have left the top unstained and used a walnut dowel to match the base. Thanks brother.
Nice work. I do like them. I have also subscribed to your channel . A little tip for you is when I taper my dowels I just use a pencil sharpener and it does a great job and quick to. 😉. Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God Bless from the UK.
Someone told me many years ago "the man who makes no mistakes, makes nothing". Just do as Steve Ramsey advises and turn the crappy side against the wall. Nice build by the way!
A good work around for the joint gaps due to cupped wood is to use a straight bit on your router and cut a shallow channel for the shelf to nest into. Just need to make some kind of sled for the router to set in so it cuts a straight channel instead of matching the cup in the wood. It also gives the joint a little more definition IMO.
Prō-vin-shall as in of the provinces. Really great video. I looks good, and I liked that you talked about the problems that can come up when working with cheap/soft wood.
That looks really good I liked it a lot I am wanting to build a couple of tables myself so thanks for the tips I was thinking about doing four legs and tapering them and doing it that way but I liked yours better it was a smaller table and it will fit just right thank you brother
Thank you for the encouragement brother, I'm glad you got some ideas from the video. Good luck on the table! RUclips needs to make a way for people to share photos in the comments so I can see everyone's projects!
You do the same thing I do, if I've never made it and I'm not rly sure what I'm doing, I'll practice with cheap pine or scrap wood. End result looks great! 👍
Thank you, I appreciate it! I guess great minds really do think alike. 😂😂 😂 I feel like the first time I build something I'm trying to figure out the best way to build it and I'm definitely going to make mistakes.
Just a quick FYI try using one of those glue brushes , they are cheap and it keeps your fingers cleaner , very reusable , let dry and peel the glue off.
That's so crazy that you say that because I ordered a pack of them after I made the video!! Not the silicone ones you are talking about but the disposable glue brushes. I added the silicone ones to my fathers day wish list.
Last weekend I made a rack thingy from old skirting boards, for my wife's herb collection. Used a small weedburner to char the grain. Was my first time and the rack looked like it was rescued from a burning building. Wife: ":\" Then I put some bangkirai oil on it and the magic happened: a beautiful deep orange-red glow, dark brown grain, angels singing and wife:" :)" Great channel, Sir. #subscribed
🤣🤣🤣 Dude that comment had be dying!! It is amazing what some oil will do for a piece of wood. If you're on instagram look me up at Jascogoods. If you have pics of the rack up id like to see it. it sounds pretty cool.
Definitely gonna try this! Looks great & easy enough for another amateur like me to do. Soon as you said "WEST SIIIDE!" you got a like & a new subscriber!😂 Love the humor & the learning! Thank you!
adding a skirt for the top of the table would help u hide the pocket holes and you would also be able to screw threw them to attach the top. Nice video!!
like the table, i might build one for the living room. I to am learning how all this works better, I just purchased a 12" miter slideing saw to help me with the bigger boards i have. keep up the great work.
Thank you! A miter saw is a great first tool to get. I use mine for everything I make. I'm sure you'll love woodworking. It can be tough learning but its so rewarding when you finish a project that you made with your own hands!
Great job! I named my side hustle shop "Perfect Imperfections" it's kinda the way I build or make things in my shop. I see the Imperfections in all my work!
That's a great name! I am the same way, it drives my wife nuts. She's always telling me to just slap wood together like she sees on pinterest and she thinks I overcomplicate everything.
I've needed narrow side tables for my bedroom for years. I can't find what I need in the stores so I know I have to make them but I've been procrastinating. Your video has gotten me excited to start up and make my own. Thank you!
A nice and clean functional design. I would have attached the shelf trim to the shelves, and shelves to the leg with wood screws / glue capped with short sections of 3/8" diameter birch dowels. Just for a small added design touch. Great job.
To make the sealing easier spray your surfaces with water and let it dry (a light mist is all that's required). This causes the loose fibers to pop up, and then you can sand those off before you apply the first seal coat.
neat little build. i always put the grain so that it will cup toward the inside of my cases and such. you won't have as many gaps like you had in your build that way. if you're looking at the grain from the side, it should look like a smile. the grain lines try to straighten as they dry. that lets you put a singe fastener in the center so the wood can move without splitting. i usually use two fasteners about an inch apart in the center on each side. the grain in your project is all aligned so you don't have to worry about it here, but if you are ever building a top on a cross grain structure it works pretty well. you can also rebate or mortise for where your shelves sit to hold them flat over time as well. more work, but doesn't have to be perfect. when you're working with rough materials like construction lumber, i think that rustic is usually the way to go.
wow thank you for all the new knowledge. I will definitely incorporate it in future builds. Whenever I build anything I mostly just try to put the best side facing out. The side with the best looking wood grain or maybe the least amount of flaws.
@@jascogoods it took building dozens of projects with plane sawn solid wood tops before i caught on. a video by stumpynubs really drove it home for me though. i'll see if i can find it and reply with it for you.
I'm amazed after reading through all these comments that no one has suggested to waterpop the grain before staining.... no need to drench the wood just spritz it with a waterbottle let it sit for 20 30 min then rub your final sand grit over it lightly and not to many passes you'd be amazed how little is actually needed before you've sanded to far eventually sanding what you've done and would need to pop it again... but once sanded should give you great results and possibly save a couple bucks on a unessisary coating of stain..... I'm very early and inexperienced myself learning by videos like yours and comments from the community. Great work my guy!
Thanks brother, for the comment and the advice! I tried the water thing before but it made streaks in my stain. Maybe I used too much water or didn't sand it enough! I'll have to give it another shot.
That came up awesome. Great job. Like you said, you learn as you go, we all make mistakes, that is how you improve, just came across your channel and love your content, keep it up 👍
I really enjoyed your humor and woodworking abilities! I am NEW to wood working. I don’t have any tools. I am going to look at getting set up soon and this might be the first build I attempt when I get set up.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment because the whole reason I started making videos was to share the little bit of knowledge I had with beginner woodworkers. If you do make this it would be awesome if you could send me a pic on my Jascogoods instagram. It would be cool to see how it turns out.
Canadian here, our version of states are called provinces, so we use this word all the time. "Pro-vin-chal" would be the easiest phonetic way to put it. Great job on the table!
I’ve watched about two minutes starting around the three minute mark and you are SO FUNNY!!! Your creative ways to ask people to subscribe made my lazy self get up and go get my iPad in the other room so I could! I can’t wait to see what other videos you’ve put out.
😂😂😂 Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I'm afraid of rejection so I have my toys ask for subscriptions, that way its not me getting rejected!! 😂
Love your work, count the day lost if you don’t learn from a mistake. Think I’m going to ditch my cheap K mart side tables and knock up a couple of these. Cheers Dave 🇦🇺
Ya know at first, I was thinking "why would you do that? Why wouldnt you just do this? That's going to look horrible" etc. Then you asked how maybe you could have improved because we are all learning, and you mentioned it being better than ikea - and I realized I was looking at it all wrong. You are 100% right. This is a fantastic, easy, inexpensive project that looks great at the end. Especially for not having any of those big tools! I'm going to build one just like it, actually (if I can find my tape measure). The only advice I can give is to orient the cup of the board so that the gap is in the middle instead of the edges. It's easier to clamp out a middle gap than an edge gap. And is more often more invisible in final product due to location. Good job man, love it.
😂😂 Thanks brother I appreciate the encouragement and advice. I think that's just a guy thing to watch diy videos and see how you could do it better. I fully expect and welcome it because I cant get better if I don't know how. That's a lot easier to say than to do when you hear the criticism but its a good thing to strive for anyways. I'd love to see a pic when your done.
Thank you, I haven't used the minmax espresso but I did try the Behr one and I like it. But colors are sooo different from brand to brand, Ill have to try it.
No problem, Thank you for the comment. It takes a lot of trial and error but I am sure you will eventually be able to look at something and figure out how to build it.
I don't think I got instructions with mine and I am the type to keep the instructions on everything. But you are still absolutely right. I watched a video from the manufacturer after building this and now I know what it is capable of. Thank you for the comment.
@jascogoods my apologies, I didn't mean to "bust your chops" .....I had someone driving up just as I started typing (I live in a very rural area and don't normally get unexpected company). If you bought the jig alone and didn't get the kit you may very well have gotten it without instructions. The Milescraft doweling jig is deceptively capable little device, I'm glad you found their channel and found out about its capabilities.....I'm betting you'll be using it a lot more now!
One of the best videos I've watched! Made me laugh a few times and your honesty made me "like" and "subscribe". Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I have plenty of tools now, just lack the confidence at times to face new challenges.
I am 100% behind you on this build. That's a great little piece! Unfortunately, this would not go well in a house with young children. Now, if some poor bloke wants to chance owning it and he has three rugrats running around, it's probably gonna get knocked over a lot. I'd say the demographic for the sale would be people with older or grown kids or no kids at all. I learned a couple of things from watching your video, even beyond what I knew already from the woodworking I have done. Keep up the good work thank you.
Thanks for the encouragement brother!! I didn't even think of the kids thing. My daughter is 21 so I don't have to worry about that anymore but I can see a kid trying to climb on this and it tipping!!
Looks really good. I really like pine as a wood, It has nice grain, takes a finish very well. Can't say cheap pine anymore these days, so might as well use it for things. Take a sub and a like, look forward to watching your other videos.
Thanks brother I appreciate your comment, the sub and the like. You are right, you cant say cheap pine anymore. The quality is the only thing that stayed cheap and actually got worse!😂
I've learnt more from this one video than from spending hours watching some of the bigger woodworking channels honestly my new favourite channel to watch
wow I am truly honored by your comment. Thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot. I make these videos with the intention that someone will get some value or insight from them, laugh a little, and hopefully learn from my mistakes, but I did not expect a great compliment like this! Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hi there. Old timer, woodworker here. Just a comment on your dowel drilling, for the top. That red & black Jointmaster that you were showing , actually drills perfectly in the middle of the wood’s edge. You were sliding it across the wood edge, but actually upside down. That’s what those four “ legs” are for on the other side of the Jointmaster. Put the Jointmaster on the wood edge, with those pins/ legs facing down. Now just twist the device till opposing pins lock onto the wood. PERFECTLY in the middle😊
Other than that, I enjoyed your humour. Many guys have forgotten WHY we started woodworking and come across SO serious, on their videos. It’s therapeutical, but also just relaxing and having FUN.
Ps. Like the little “ subscribe” notes that you sneak into the video😊
Good luck with your channel, young man.
Hannes
I actually just watched a video on RUclips that the manufacturer made and finally learned how to use it properly! You are absolutely correct, you can make do that. It didn't come with any directions (to be honest I probably wouldn't have read them) so I looked up a video!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Hannes!

I think it is awesome, and possibly not as well respected, honored, or performed as much as it used to be.
By the way, Jesus loves you! And He is coming back soon for a bride ready to meet Him.
God bless you, Jason, and everyone who reads this,
Love your videos, you do research, and make it amusing, please keep them coming! Still want to see you build a bench....I currently am working on an all in one that will be done soon, table saw, router table, spindle sander/ belt sander, jointer, a couple banks of drawers, parts bins, miter saw with drop, to make more bench space, all electrical within the bench and dust collection, with an easy blast gate design...I have been working on this for the last year and watched many youtube videos to get to this point..... but, still, have a stand alone planner cart, that still needs an upgraded bed..... I'll show to if your interested once I am done...I spent, alot of time watching videos to get to this point and it maybe the best I can do.... it is about 11' long and just over 4' wide, which should in most garages.... please send me your contact info, if your interested
Been woodworking for 40+ years. Made mistakes all along the way but keep going and learning. That is why I am on you tube....to learn things I have not done or thought of. Have learned many things from new woodworkers. Great table. Thanks for the humor.
Thank you brother, the dumber I was the more I thought I knew everything! 😂😂😂
Just built my wife something similar, but she wanted both sides and one across the back with recessed upshot lighting and inset power.
I went into it thinking no way I could make it look anything other than terrible, but it ended up being one of the things I'm most proud of.
That’s awesome! You really went all out on your build. Sometimes I go into most builds not knowing if its going to be a dumpster fire or a great build.😂😂 Thank you for the comment.
Hi from the UK, hobbyist wood worker, I worked in engineering as a detail fitter for a large chunk of my life, however, I find working with wood quite challenging, when you cut steel, by whatever method and finish it using a.file, milling cutter, or grinding, the finished state is not changed much by temperature, humidity etc, whereas wood particularly the softer variety is very susceptible to the vagaries of the climate, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this video, for the content, the presentation, humour, and for the education, good to see others making stuff that doesn’t just immaculately fit together after have been subjected to £3000, table saw, jointer, planer thicknesses, ya di ya. All in a workshop that looks like a high end surgical operating room, that in no way resembles my little garden shed. Thanks for keeping it real, and as for your project, well done something achievable for us lesser mortals, and also very useful. Take care,and be safe.
Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement. I would love to add some steel work to my skillset. If I get a bigger shop with more room I might add some steelworking tools. (i don't think steelworking is a word) 😂 I am a little nervous about doing steel work in a wood shop because it seems like a recipe for a good fire. All the sparks around my super saw dust coated shop might be asking for trouble. Do you think Its a bad Idea to mix the two?
The best part of the video is your message at 13:56 ... Reminds me of a good quote, "The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can't learn to drive in a parked car." :)
Thank you, now I wish I would have said something smart like you said!! 😂 I see a lot of videos where more professional woodworkers say not to use pine but I feel like when you are just learning its better to mess up a cheap piece of pine learning then an expensive hardwood.
Thanks @@jascogoods but ... I didn't say it. :) I quoted someone else. Who? I have no idea. :) What you said was perfect so ... there ya go.
I enjoy your videos and subscribed.
Actually, I am 67 now, and at 14 years ole at my snappy age, I learned to drive in a parked car. And then, one day after getting used to the radio, seat, more radio, mirrors, more radio, checking all my blind spots, more radio….., and then, one day I got brave, and I backed up out of the “parkway” ( can’t call it a driveway as it was in the back of the house). Backed up into the lane way, behind all our houses, then forward, then back, a tad narrow, and then, I shot “like a bat out of hell” to the street, 70 meters away. Looked for suspicious folks, yup no cops around, and turned right, drove 300 meters, always checking my mirrors for those damn suspicious folks, and then turned right. Drove about 100 meters, turned right again ( this counters all those racing programs that turn left), and drove 300 meters, and turned right, avoiding this thick metal filled with concrete that safe guarded the corner of my neighbours garage.
Then immediately turned left, then backed up, listening to the radio, then forward, listen to the radio, then backed up, then forward, ….. and then …… safe! Back in our narrow parkway. Phew, tomorrow, I think I will do two, turns in the lane way, but of course, looking out and avoiding those suspicious folks, that like ruining a fun time. I grew up in Toronto, Canada, and finally was legal to drive at 15.
Loved your story, you told it well! maybe you should be making RUclips videos telling stories.
@@jascogoods Thank you for that, and yes, I love writing/telling stories. Have been all my life. I am not from Canada, but came here at the ripe young age of almost 3, two weeks on a boat to Halifax from Greece. So that der englize was a total pain in my butt, in der schoole (german was easier to learn go figure). I failed englize every year in high school, and repeated it every year in summer school. You can imagine, part of my summers as a wee high school lad sucked, and not the fun type. Well, not so wee, as I was into everything else in school, sports, student council, clubs, etc, standing 5'11" by the time I finished.
Oh yeah, englize, my nemesis, as all my other subjects, including learning German where no problem. Yet, would you believe, my memory was so darn good, that a week into the summer schedule, the englize teacher would be mad at me for being there, and yet would pull me onto the front as the assistant teacher. Why do you ask, because I could recite anything I read the previous year and failed at, and every test I took ( I still had to do the finals so the rest of the students would not bitch) I would pass between 97-100% correct. The teachers could not figure out why I was there. Kept trying to tell them, I am Greek, your damn language gives me a pain in the a...., and find it easier the second time around for it to sink in. Mind you, I am the only student the high school librarian looked for in our 15 year reunion, as I was her Hero, in that I read almost every book in that high school library, but that is for another time and story.
So, what was I replying to again, oh yeah, doing YT content. I also should state , that I was a member of the photography and art club in high school, and after college I actually worked in the photography field for almost ten years. Yet during that time I would look at still pictures and thought, "hmmm, I wonder how they would look moving", aka shooting a video. Which back in those days, was not an easy or cheap alternative to the bucks I already spent on my Nikons, 4x5, and 2 1/4, plus all the equipment. Though now I am updated, and I do have a Panasonic digital camera, albeit a tad older then the current models, and a DJI 3 Pro drone, and a few other video/photography related things. Just is, not enough time in the day, with all my hobbies, and currently focusing on woodworking and making it a side hustle, as idle minds and hands, lead to forget evil, being m.o.f,.o bored. Though I enjoy the creative process in building and finishing things, not only just in an artistic process.
Therefore, I would suck at telling stories and such on YT, with finding time to shoot during what ever I might be doing, and then the countless hours in editing the video. Similar to reading what I just wrote and going back and editing it. Phew, feel like I am back in school, not being paid! 😂Cheers friend.
You seem like the kind of fella I'd enjoy sharing a case of Busch Lights with. Glad I stumbled across your video!!
Cheers!
Love the video. A tip for the cupped board you used for the top. If you place the board with the cupped side up you can squeeze it down with a clamp in the centre of the board. This way if the board splits the crack will be on the bottom of the board and you won't see it. Construction lumber will always twist, cup, or bow if you leave it on the shelf without clamping it down. You could also cut it into rough lengths as soon as you get it home and stack it with a weight on top.
Thank you for the comment and the advice. I need to set up a good place for letting wood sit to dry. I have a wood rack but its not set up to clamp the wood. Good call on the cupping direction. thanks
Definitely want to try and make one for my wife. Great job ❤. Just a suggestion, before you open the can of stain/paint, put a large rubber band across the middle on the bottom, excess to the side, open the can and stretch the rubber over the top in the middle, wipe your brush on the rubber band, this will keep the channel dry.
thank you, I appreciate the comment. I had to read it a few times to understand what you meant but when I got it it was genius!! thanks for the tip.
Hey there. I just stumbled onto your channel and I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you putting yourself out there like a regular guy and not spewing bullshit. Listening to you talk is like hanging out with my friends and is refreshing so I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work
Thank you I really appreciate that. Its really hard to not sound funny or stiff when you are making a video by yourself so I'm glad to hear its mostly in my head.
I love that color!
LookingGood. Plaining the woof and champer the enges will look good. I use good yellow pind and use the planer, joiner nd sancer. That takes away the "lumber look"
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.
I love the fact that you show everything even the mistakes. I'm a woodworker also and most of my projects never come out like i intend them to. Lol. They are usually slightly off on everything some how. Lol i dont know i just go with the flow. Hey lifes not perfect why should anything else be. 😂😅
That is an awesome statement!! "lifes not perfect why should anything else be" I am going to start using that. I started showing my mistakes because I would have felt like a fraud trying to hide them and I didn't want anyone thinking I was pretending to be a woodworker because I'm not. 😂😂😂 Thank you for the comment.
Nice job. Some advice for all of those that are going to use the soaking wet southern yellow pine from the big box stores. Stack it with stickers and let it dry for a few weeks. Then mill it or have it milled to your final dimensions. You will be more pleased with the result.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and the advice.
Just found tour channel, really enjoying it.
Province goes to Provincial the same way Torrent goes to Torrential. The 'ci' in the middle gets slurred into a kind of "ch/sh" sound.
Thank you for the encouragement and the pronunciation, Its appreciated.
I love the fact that you are blatantly honest about being an amateur and you did a great job ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you I appreciate that, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to trick them by pretending to be a professional. I'm just trying to share ideas with other amateurs. Wish I had RUclips when I started.
@@jascogoods ❤️❤️
That’s a professional amateur in my opinion
Great job
Love the video and your sense of self deprecating humour. Pretty funny for a 'mercan. One tip I've found useful is to put your cut/milled boards into a plastic bag (trash bag) and close (seal with a knot) the end until you are ready to assemble. You get less moisture transfer that way and it reduces the amount of cupping/bowing in your stock until you get to assemble it, especially if you're cutting one day and assembling another. Nothing worse than coming into your workshop the next day and finding all your boards twisted/bowed/cupped. Don't ask me how I know 😀
don't worry, I'm American, one of our Presidents invented "don't ask don't tell" 😂 Thank you for all the encouragement and tips. I will definitely try that trash bag thing.
I know I was watching a condensed version of your build and specifically the finishing. Pro tip, make sure that when you add a coat of poly. or any finish for that matter, make the last brush stroke one continuous stroke from end to end or top to bottom, with the grain. Those brush dabs to get missed areas will show in the final product. This was a good build, congrats.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and the tip. I need better brushes because my brush wont hold enough to make it end to end.
@@jascogoods Get some of those Wooster Brushes from the orange store, they are adequate for finishing. Also, learn to love the process of finishing. It is the finish that we see last but the recipient sees first. Good Luck
I love the humility and humor. It's refreshing to see someone on this platform admit to making mistakes and learning as you go. That's how I can relate to you. 😊
Thank you I appreciate that. I think I show the mistakes because I don't want anyone thinking I'm pretending to be an expert.
My new best friend. Good job on the table.
Thanks brother< i appreciate that!
You Rock🎉 I miss working with wood and creating usable things.😢 I have some of the tools but had my table saw, miter saw and skil saw stolen. I found you today and watched your videos until i was cross-eyed 😵💫 You have reignited my love of building things so next year I will replace the tools and add a few more.
Don't Change Who You Are! 💪🏼
First off thank you so much for the super encouraging comment, you are awesome!! Now you inspired me to make more videos!! 😂 Second, I am so sorry to hear someone stole your tools! I would be heart broken if someone stole my tools. Thieves suck!
I agree with you; I think it turned out great. You had me worried for a while about whether this would work out, being dimensional lumber. I like the style you did, and overall, it's functional and looks good in your living room. Good job.
Thank you brother I appreciate the comment.
The idea of using a furniture dolly for finish work is a good one. Probably most of the woodworkers you know are already using it, but it's a new idea to me. Thanks.
thank you for the comment, I am glad you found the info helpful.
Looks good brother, you gave me some inspiration, but I might add some x pattern or something to match my other decor.
No problem brother. I like the x pattern but my wife always tells me not to use it so I don't because of the whole happy wife happy life thing! 😂
@@jascogoods oh I'm right there with you, I totally understand 🤣
Just subscribed. Side table looks great. When I make anything I usually use cheap timber. At least if it goes wrong it hasn't cost too much, just time. Tip: I always use a riving knife on my table saw. Helps kickback, but to each his own.
Thank you and I agree on the cheap timber! My table saw riving knife is all part of this whole contraption that's supposed to sit on top of the saw. Its heave and awkward to use so I never have it on. I tried to find a universal after market one that would fit it but I didn't have any luck.
I’ve been woodworking for more than fifty years and I very much agree with your comment about learning with inexpensive, construction grade lumber. No need to buy insanely expensive hardwoods in the beginning. Loved the build. Well done.
Thanks brother, I appreciate the encouragement.
I just ordered some of that stain. Thanks for the info!
No problem, I just bought more myself because I ran out. Thank you for the comment. I noticed you name. I used to live in different parts of Maryland when I was a kid. Catonsville is the only one I remember because I was so young.
love the video. your commentary is great. keep it up
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I love the advice- practice and learn to use your tools! So many don’t try because they don’t know- none of us knew how until we learned!!! I’m not an expert but when I learned even the beginning woodworking, I loved it❤
Completely agree with this! Thank you for the comment.
You earned a click and subscribe because you are being honest. You showed your inspiration and need, admitted to using construction lumber and how to make it better. Your CA glue tips are on point.
For your fence-if you hold the handle up and out a bit as you slide it to the desired measurement, it won't move on you when you lock it down. That happens even on SawStops-its just a thing with that style fence. Keep doing what your doing-you'll keep improving
Thank you for the sub, the comment and most importantly thanks for the encouragement, Its really appreciated. Although I'm a little disappointed because I thought when I got a new saw I wouldn't have to deal with this!! 😂😂😂 I'm still telling my wife I need a new saw!!
Well done! If you don't point out the flaws to anyone else they won't look for them. One piece of advice I can offer you would be to use a separate small container to put your clear finish in. This will prevent you from contaminating the large can of finish with any particles coming off the project. Also you should not wipe the brush on the inside rim of the can. That leaves the drips to congeal there and later fall into the finish. If you are going to dip into the original container it is a good practice to slap the brush on the inside of the can wall to get rid of the excess on the brush. Ask any painter and they will show you this method. Keep building I look forward to your next project!!
Thank you brother, you are 100% right. Its funny you say that because I normally say that about using another container and show it in my videos but being in a hurry I just used the can. I guess I should practice what I preach! 🤣🤣🤣
Looks awesome! Sometimes when I use dowels like you did on the top, I like to use a different color wood, and then go all the way through leaving the dowel visible, then cut it flush. If you did that here and left them unstained it would give a cool contrast and add just a little bit more to the look of the table.
that is a really good idea. I really like the look when you can see the dowels when its done right. I could have left the top unstained and used a walnut dowel to match the base. Thanks brother.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! I always like cherry stain. That is my favorite. Subscribed!
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Good job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it The gaps don’t bother me it was handmade and not built on a assembly line Keep building God Bless
Thank you brother I appreciate the encouragement.
I actually thought he had less gaps than what you'd get from Ikea or any other box/home goods stores. I was impressed.
Thank you for my next project. Looks terrific.👍
You're welcome, it's always fun to build something new. Let me know how it goes! I appreciate the comment.
Nice work. I do like them. I have also subscribed to your channel . A little tip for you is when I taper my dowels I just use a pencil sharpener and it does a great job and quick to. 😉. Take care and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. God Bless from the UK.
Thanks for the comment, subscription and the tip. That's such a simple but great idea to use a pencil sharpener.
@@jascogoods You're very welcome. 👍👍👍👍
Someone told me many years ago "the man who makes no mistakes, makes nothing". Just do as Steve Ramsey advises and turn the crappy side against the wall. Nice build by the way!
wise words and some humor! thank you for the comment its appreciated.
Alternatively, measure twice, cut once, then force it to fit! 😂
All i can say is looks greeat!❤
A good work around for the joint gaps due to cupped wood is to use a straight bit on your router and cut a shallow channel for the shelf to nest into. Just need to make some kind of sled for the router to set in so it cuts a straight channel instead of matching the cup in the wood. It also gives the joint a little more definition IMO.
That is a great idea, thank you. I am just starting to get more bits and use my router more so this is a great idea right now.
Nice, I might build one, thanks.
no problem, let me know if you do build one.
@@jascogoods Will do!
Looks great! Love that stain. Really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work!
Thank you, i really appreciate the comment and the encouragement.
Your commentary is hillarious!!! Love these videos. Best wishes from all us woodworkers in England 👍
Thank you brother I appreciate the encouragement from across the pond!! 😂 Sorry thats what my English friend use to always say.
Prō-vin-shall as in of the provinces. Really great video. I looks good, and I liked that you talked about the problems that can come up when working with cheap/soft wood.
Thank you for the encouragement, Its appreciated. 😁
That looks really good I liked it a lot I am wanting to build a couple of tables myself so thanks for the tips I was thinking about doing four legs and tapering them and doing it that way but I liked yours better it was a smaller table and it will fit just right thank you brother
Thank you for the encouragement brother, I'm glad you got some ideas from the video. Good luck on the table! RUclips needs to make a way for people to share photos in the comments so I can see everyone's projects!
You do the same thing I do, if I've never made it and I'm not rly sure what I'm doing, I'll practice with cheap pine or scrap wood. End result looks great! 👍
Thank you, I appreciate it! I guess great minds really do think alike. 😂😂 😂 I feel like the first time I build something I'm trying to figure out the best way to build it and I'm definitely going to make mistakes.
@@jascogoods exactly!
Man you kill me !! Lol
I don't care what you build or how you build it! Keep it up and keep it clean ! Well done sir
😂😂😂 will do! Thank you for the encouraging comment.
Pro- vin-chul is how its said my dude. Love the vids
Thanks brother, i appreciate the love.
Just a quick FYI try using one of those glue brushes , they are cheap and it keeps your fingers cleaner , very reusable , let dry and peel the glue off.
That's so crazy that you say that because I ordered a pack of them after I made the video!! Not the silicone ones you are talking about but the disposable glue brushes. I added the silicone ones to my fathers day wish list.
Nearing the end of my first build. It's a bench! Thanks for sharing this video.
That's awesome brother, are you gonna share it on your channel? if not you should add me on insta or facebook so i can see how it came out.
I think it looks somistecatid too. Great job!
😂😂😂 At first I thought you were using a big fancy word that I didn't understand and then I realized what you were doing. 🤣
Last weekend I made a rack thingy from old skirting boards, for my wife's herb collection. Used a small weedburner to char the grain. Was my first time and the rack looked like it was rescued from a burning building. Wife: ":\"
Then I put some bangkirai oil on it and the magic happened: a beautiful deep orange-red glow, dark brown grain, angels singing and wife:" :)"
Great channel, Sir. #subscribed
🤣🤣🤣 Dude that comment had be dying!! It is amazing what some oil will do for a piece of wood. If you're on instagram look me up at Jascogoods. If you have pics of the rack up id like to see it. it sounds pretty cool.
Definitely gonna try this! Looks great & easy enough for another amateur like me to do.
Soon as you said "WEST SIIIDE!" you got a like & a new subscriber!😂
Love the humor & the learning! Thank you!
😂😂😂 Thank you for all the encouragement!! I knew some fellow west siders would appreciate that!! 😂
I love watching and learning from these great videos , plenty of humor tips and great little projects
Thank you, I really appreciate the encouraging comment!
adding a skirt for the top of the table would help u hide the pocket holes and you would also be able to screw threw them to attach the top. Nice video!!
Thanks for the comment and the advice.
like the table, i might build one for the living room. I to am learning how all this works better, I just purchased a 12" miter slideing saw to help me with the bigger boards i have. keep up the great work.
Thank you! A miter saw is a great first tool to get. I use mine for everything I make. I'm sure you'll love woodworking. It can be tough learning but its so rewarding when you finish a project that you made with your own hands!
I loved this video. It was simple and easy to follow. I might try making one this weekend. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you , I appreciate that!! I am glad you found it helpful, thank you for the comment.
Love that table. I would love to make it for my living room. I enjoy you ideas so much.
Thank you for the encouragement, It is appreciated! are you going to try to make it?
Great job! I named my side hustle shop "Perfect Imperfections" it's kinda the way I build or make things in my shop. I see the Imperfections in all my work!
That's a great name! I am the same way, it drives my wife nuts. She's always telling me to just slap wood together like she sees on pinterest and she thinks I overcomplicate everything.
I've needed narrow side tables for my bedroom for years. I can't find what I need in the stores so I know I have to make them but I've been procrastinating. Your video has gotten me excited to start up and make my own. Thank you!
No problem, I am really glad you found value in my video! Thank you for your comment and good luck on your build!
Good video. Entertaining. I agree, we are all here to learn.
Thank you, I love that there is a place like RUclips that we can go to and just exchange knowledge.
@@jascogoods definitely
I like it very much. The staining w/o sealing gave it character. Nice
Thank you!!
@@jascogoods I always use a Sealer on pine especially for the end grain. You’ll be surprised at the results.
Nice video man I can appreciate a down to earth man, who’s just like the rest of us learning as we go and just trying to help others learn too!
Thank you I really appreciate the encouragement! It really helps to learn in a group like this!
A nice and clean functional design. I would have attached the shelf trim to the shelves, and shelves to the leg with wood screws / glue capped with short sections of 3/8" diameter birch dowels. Just for a small added design touch. Great job.
Thank you, I appreciate the input. That is a good idea, I want to get more into doing some exposed dowels. I like that look too!
To make the sealing easier spray your surfaces with water and let it dry (a light mist is all that's required). This causes the loose fibers to pop up, and then you can sand those off before you apply the first seal coat.
neat little build. i always put the grain so that it will cup toward the inside of my cases and such. you won't have as many gaps like you had in your build that way. if you're looking at the grain from the side, it should look like a smile. the grain lines try to straighten as they dry. that lets you put a singe fastener in the center so the wood can move without splitting. i usually use two fasteners about an inch apart in the center on each side. the grain in your project is all aligned so you don't have to worry about it here, but if you are ever building a top on a cross grain structure it works pretty well.
you can also rebate or mortise for where your shelves sit to hold them flat over time as well. more work, but doesn't have to be perfect. when you're working with rough materials like construction lumber, i think that rustic is usually the way to go.
wow thank you for all the new knowledge. I will definitely incorporate it in future builds. Whenever I build anything I mostly just try to put the best side facing out. The side with the best looking wood grain or maybe the least amount of flaws.
@@jascogoods it took building dozens of projects with plane sawn solid wood tops before i caught on. a video by stumpynubs really drove it home for me though. i'll see if i can find it and reply with it for you.
Thank you, I watch Stumpy all the time!
I'm amazed after reading through all these comments that no one has suggested to waterpop the grain before staining.... no need to drench the wood just spritz it with a waterbottle let it sit for 20 30 min then rub your final sand grit over it lightly and not to many passes you'd be amazed how little is actually needed before you've sanded to far eventually sanding what you've done and would need to pop it again... but once sanded should give you great results and possibly save a couple bucks on a unessisary coating of stain..... I'm very early and inexperienced myself learning by videos like yours and comments from the community. Great work my guy!
Thanks brother, for the comment and the advice! I tried the water thing before but it made streaks in my stain. Maybe I used too much water or didn't sand it enough! I'll have to give it another shot.
That came up awesome. Great job. Like you said, you learn as you go, we all make mistakes, that is how you improve, just came across your channel and love your content, keep it up 👍
Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement!
I really enjoyed your humor and woodworking abilities! I am NEW to wood working. I don’t have any tools. I am going to look at getting set up soon and this might be the first build I attempt when I get set up.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment because the whole reason I started making videos was to share the little bit of knowledge I had with beginner woodworkers. If you do make this it would be awesome if you could send me a pic on my Jascogoods instagram. It would be cool to see how it turns out.
Canadian here, our version of states are called provinces, so we use this word all the time. "Pro-vin-chal" would be the easiest phonetic way to put it. Great job on the table!
Thank You, My wife is from Canada!! Someone in the comments said Provincial rhymes with official and it all made sense!!
I just subscribed because not only you share your knowledge but also make it fun and entertaining. 😂
Thank you!! What I lack in skills I try to make up in jokes!!😂😂😂
I’ve watched about two minutes starting around the three minute mark and you are SO FUNNY!!! Your creative ways to ask people to subscribe made my lazy self get up and go get my iPad in the other room so I could! I can’t wait to see what other videos you’ve put out.
😂😂😂 Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I'm afraid of rejection so I have my toys ask for subscriptions, that way its not me getting rejected!! 😂
Nice work. I like that stain color.
Thanks 👍 me too!
Love your work, count the day lost if you don’t learn from a mistake. Think I’m going to ditch my cheap K mart side tables and knock up a couple of these. Cheers Dave 🇦🇺
Thanks brother, I appreciate the positive comments. These are an easy build and they look good in my opinion anyways! good luck on your build.
Ya know at first, I was thinking "why would you do that? Why wouldnt you just do this? That's going to look horrible" etc.
Then you asked how maybe you could have improved because we are all learning, and you mentioned it being better than ikea - and I realized I was looking at it all wrong.
You are 100% right. This is a fantastic, easy, inexpensive project that looks great at the end. Especially for not having any of those big tools! I'm going to build one just like it, actually (if I can find my tape measure).
The only advice I can give is to orient the cup of the board so that the gap is in the middle instead of the edges. It's easier to clamp out a middle gap than an edge gap. And is more often more invisible in final product due to location.
Good job man, love it.
😂😂 Thanks brother I appreciate the encouragement and advice. I think that's just a guy thing to watch diy videos and see how you could do it better. I fully expect and welcome it because I cant get better if I don't know how. That's a lot easier to say than to do when you hear the criticism but its a good thing to strive for anyways. I'd love to see a pic when your done.
That turned out great!! Awesome job and again I like the longer format videos, it’s more personable. Thanks for content brother!
Thanks brother, I appreciate all the comments and support! I'm gonna do some longer videos somehow in a different way, maybe in live videos.
Just made my narrow table this weekend using your video as a guide. It turned out great, thanks!
That's awesome!! If you're on Instagram look me up and send me a pic, I would love to see how it came out. I'm JascoGoods on Insta and Facebook.
This video was very refreshing lol... I'm fairly new to woodworking but I've recently been happy with Minwax Espresso stain on pine 👍
Thank you, I haven't used the minmax espresso but I did try the Behr one and I like it. But colors are sooo different from brand to brand, Ill have to try it.
Love it definitely giving it a go with all my leftover 2x12’s and 3/4 plywood
Thank you and good luck, I hope it turns out great!
Really like this a lot! I want to be able to look at something and make my own version. This was helpful. Thank you.
No problem, Thank you for the comment. It takes a lot of trial and error but I am sure you will eventually be able to look at something and figure out how to build it.
You had me at "breaded walrus." LOL.
😂😂😂 Thanks brother!!
First clip of yours I’ve seen on RUclips, great content, and you’ve gained a new subscriber ✊
Thank you, I appreciate the love, the sub and the comment.
Looks great. And very useful. Great stuff.👍
Thank you, I appreciate the comment.
Very sofistimicated! Nice shelf dude!
😂😂😂 Thanks brother!
The dowel jig you showed would absolutely have worked for this project.....they include instructions for a reason.
I don't think I got instructions with mine and I am the type to keep the instructions on everything. But you are still absolutely right. I watched a video from the manufacturer after building this and now I know what it is capable of. Thank you for the comment.
@jascogoods my apologies, I didn't mean to "bust your chops" .....I had someone driving up just as I started typing (I live in a very rural area and don't normally get unexpected company). If you bought the jig alone and didn't get the kit you may very well have gotten it without instructions.
The Milescraft doweling jig is deceptively capable little device, I'm glad you found their channel and found out about its capabilities.....I'm betting you'll be using it a lot more now!
Hi Jason, great vid, I'm your newest subscriber from Australia.
Nice to meet you Gary, welcome to my weird woodworking channel! 😂 Thank you for subscribing.
One of the best videos I've watched! Made me laugh a few times and your honesty made me "like" and "subscribe". Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I have plenty of tools now, just lack the confidence at times to face new challenges.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I know what you mean, it is hard to get started. It takes a while to relax and enjoy the process.
@jascogoods yeah, I watched a couple of your earlier ones too, big difference now you have the confidence.
Love this end table!!!
Thank you!😁
I am 100% behind you on this build. That's a great little piece! Unfortunately, this would not go well in a house with young children. Now, if some poor bloke wants to chance owning it and he has three rugrats running around, it's probably gonna get knocked over a lot. I'd say the demographic for the sale would be people with older or grown kids or no kids at all. I learned a couple of things from watching your video, even beyond what I knew already from the woodworking I have done. Keep up the good work thank you.
Thanks for the encouragement brother!! I didn't even think of the kids thing. My daughter is 21 so I don't have to worry about that anymore but I can see a kid trying to climb on this and it tipping!!
Love the video and side table came out Beautiful
Thanks you so much!
When you put the bottom shelf on, put glue wait 5 minutes and put more glue. The end grain will suck it up.
Thank you for the advice, I will try that. Thank you.
Love idea of using dolly to stain or paint. Enjoyed
Thank you, the best part is they are really cheap at harbor freight! I got these as one of their monthly sales.

Looks really good. I really like pine as a wood, It has nice grain, takes a finish very well. Can't say cheap pine anymore these days, so might as well use it for things. Take a sub and a like, look forward to watching your other videos.
Thanks brother I appreciate your comment, the sub and the like. You are right, you cant say cheap pine anymore. The quality is the only thing that stayed cheap and actually got worse!😂
Hello great job. Im from Puerto Rico.
