    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    I'm a builder to trade and I know how precious tradesmen can get about their craft, but this guy is brilliant. He's not afraid of any type of job. For example I'd stay well away from any plumbing or electrical work but this guy takes every project in his stride and does a great job. Clearly does his research and the best part about it is that he's not afraid to make some mistakes along the way and figure out a solution to the problem. I've just found this channel and love the videos. Subscribed to get notifications. Keep up the good work.

Great info for a up-start DIY’er and also had to snap shot the video and it seems you’re a JOCKO listener! GOOD! GET AFTER IT! Stay safe with RT you guys are in the thick of it and you’re the ones we Nurses call for help.

    Got a question brother, at 6:51, when you added the 2 extra pieces to make it more sturdy, I am guessing you used brad nails to secure it from the top because I didn't see any screws, but how did you secure it to the bottom? Thanks and stay safe brother.
    PS: congrats on the new addition.
