@@juliansnow693not just automatic movements, mechanical watches in general can be ruined near magnets for to long. I think you can demagnetise the metal parts but it is complicated as it’ll have to be taken apart. Also not even a Rolex is safe near magnets since it also has metal parts. I think quarts movements should be fine though but I’m not sure.
Im into watch buildng as a hobby.....magnetizing your watch will cause it to run fast, slow, and other issues. Keep the magnets away from any mechanical watches, including the high end ones.
This build turned out great! 28:56 but, be careful having magnets anywhere near your watches! A Lot of modern watches have some amount of magnet resistance but if you have any older pieces they can get magnetised quite easily.
I'm not into carpentry, I may actually be one of the worst at it. But I really enjoy all your videos. I think a big reason for that is that you A. you explain everything like we're are dummys and B. that your videos most of the time show the entire progress from start to finish. There are no 10 episode series when it could all be one video, it's really appreciated.
I also enjoy that he talks to us during the process vs. the ones that do a voice over afterward. It has a more personal feel to it, like he's engaging with his audience.
At @31:35 John pays Sam the compliment "...because he's the better cabinet builder than me". Sams work on this cannot be denied. The finished room is brilliantly executed and looks amazing.
Honestly it seems like Sam is an extremely valuable member of the shop. Like he is constantly doing good work and having good ideas and he even has a great personality on camera. He was a good choice to hire like seriously. I see it in every video really. What ever happened to dude that does all the cnc work? I forgot his name😢 I haven't seen him in awhile on either channel.
if your culking furniture having a damp rag will help cleaning culk off when its fresh or if you drop culk of carpet or floor you either clean it up quick with a damp rag or leave it undisturbed until dry to pick it off
28:17 ~ John, just a heads-up, if you have any manual/automatic movement watches, sticking a magnet in there to hold them in place is going to magnetize the watch. Basically ruin it's ability to function properly.... And at the end of the video, I'm seeing a real Rolex Submariner with a real Rolex box in the background. Oh John, what have you done. Try to get a cheap watch de-magnetizer off of eBay. If that doesn't fix the problem, that's going to be a costly visit to a Rolex service center.
Am I the only one that started laughing when he said “we are going to blame the kids for this” as the camera is panning around his and Sara’s clothes? 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻 Well played, John… well played 👏🏻 always blame the kids!!
Yeah I mean, it’s not like he did the rest of the room or the entire island and smart mirror for her or anything, leave it to a woman to criticise a man when he does something for himself
Awesome, absolutely love it. Great idea with the sit / stand desk hardware. Only thing I would have done with the hidden cabinet is have the shelves on both sides.
Nice build! For the watches, I'd wrap the watch around a thick dowel, and then have semi-circle cradles on either side of each cubby to support the dowel, short enough that you can lift out the dowel. Love the channel!
A fun build. Particularly liked the repurposing of a standing desk for the hidden compartment. That said, not a fan of having a non-locked gun storage option, particularly in a house with kids
John has to discover the addiction of power twist link belts. Once you have one you have to do everything in them. They look so cool. They run smooth too. Which is counterintuitive to how you'd think based on how they look. But they are kinda pricey compared to plain V belts. Not too bad though considering what you're getting.
Well done. The way that Sam built the drawers is the same way I've been doing them for years. It's not the most time efficient but you get the best results from it
Absolutely love the mini this old house vibe John 👏 love to see more of these in the future. P.S. need to make something cool for Sam. For all the awesome stuff he does. 🥰
I wouldn't actually do this because it's a lot of work, but I can think of a cool idea for holding the watches. If it was something like the first idea (leather covered pads on the left and right, cylinder in the middle), but there is some kind of simple linkage that pushes the central cylinder out into your hands when you push your fingers into the side pads. And conversely, when you push the cylinder back into the middle, the side pads come back out and hold the cylinder. It wouldn't be a particularly complex thing, it's basically just a see-saw that goes behind the pieces. But it's a lot of little bits to make, it would take forever.
The centre part of the hidden compartment, where you put the watches, is bigger. Knives are more collectable and useful than watches in the sense that all watches do the same thing, but various knives can have variations in blade shape, handle shape, deployment method, size, weight, etc that alters their function and suitability for various purposes. So you should have reserved more room for your knife collection to expand than for your watch collection to expand. For watches, all you need is a casual watch, a dress watch, and maybe an outdoor/sport/waterproof watch if your casual watch can't serve that role and you're good.
Yesss! Im suppose to go fix a shower drain but my head is pounding this morning! No i didnt drink. But this is the perfect excuse to chill for another 40 minutes. Thanks bud!
You could have routed out some spaces on the back of the watch compartments, mounted the magnets flush, and then covered all 5 sides with material. Same with the rounded watch holder...route out a circle, flush magnet, then material on top.
I love this channel, I am not into carpentry at all, however the content is episodic in format and it feels like myth busters meets pimp my…..wood? (LOL) and I can’t get enough of it.❤❤❤
I would do a Perspex with built in leds centre compartment with rotating watch mounts a rod mounts for pews and knife block for the bottom two corners and the top with clip for ones with clips.
I would not have spent that time shaping beautiful walnut only to cover it up with leather. Could've covered a shaped pine 2x4. BUT I do understand working thru an evolving idea. Love the whole thing.
Unfortunately I don't really have a need for closet nor are any of mine walkin able... still I've learned something 😅 34:11 need an Air Soft or Nerf Pew? I may have something floating around
Your stuff is so amazing man, hopefully one day I can afford something! I'm trying to refinish some furniture on the side and watch a lot of your videos for inspiration. Keep it up man. Always funny and great content.
How about building a dining room table with a hidden Dungeons and Dragons board under the surface and a large flatscreen TV for the Dungeon Master to project the adventure area as the players progress. Just asking because I'd like to build one for my kids and I'm sure your design would be better than anything I could come up with. See Wyrmwood for examples.
I think your next build should be a tudor style 4 poster bed. In oak. In just one week. And then give it away to me on Black Friday 😃 I am one of those poor Europeans who really only has access to Ikea furniture, which I do like, but mainly because the only other option is antique furniture that I can't afford, just like I can't afford your furniture, and this makes me so sad the only way to bring joy back into my life, is for you to fulfil the aforementioned suggestion above 😃😁🤣 Very cool dressing room btw 🙌
Magnets near your watch is a big, fat no-no. Mechanical watches & quartz watches work by regulating beats per minute. Magnetization in a watch can throw out the beat, usually making the watch run a lot faster than it should. Also the sensors in smart watches probably wouldn't be happy sitting close to strong magnets. If you're set on your magnets, you might want to invest in a degausser for $40 - $50.
I was just thinking, “I wonder why they don’t have a sliding table saw?” And then John said in the video he needs a new saw 🤷🏼♂️😂 now I want to see either the Altendorf or the Felder with the built in anti hand cutting tech featured in a video.
As a cabinet maker for years, I've probably moved about 5000 outlets above or to the side of cabinets, never had one burn the house down. . . . as far as I know!
Great build!! I'll be doing some pew pew storage builds mid next year. My question is for the watches. I don't know shit about fancy, but will your setup allow for the winders if needed. I don't know what I'm talking about just heard a watch guy once say about Rolex having auto "winders" love the content and you continue to get my ass in the shop to build cool shit. I'm also from PA but the Poconos. Go Eagles.
I feel you guys should make a blooper collection. Now way John and the gang finished this built without s ton of bloopers. But awesome job guys go team work
The washer & dryer still in the closet 😮, that's weird! Just wondering why not take that opportunity to relocate it out of (what i can assume is) the master closet?
Glad I'm not the only one that had a wife's closet wire rack crash off the wall months ago. Nice to see you NOT build the closet cabinets... But then again, I can't use the "i need to build them" excuse for procrastinating.

Magnets near watches can cause problems. I had some problem in building a watch box, gotta start with watch pillows and build “outwards”
Yep can mess up automatic movements. Maybe if you had all Rolex milgaus’s lol

Sam is honestly a huge part of the shop and these channels. His workmanship stands out. Super respectful guy.
I just feel like it needs to be said again, Sam and Joe are awesome. Period.
What a great addition Sam has been. Great stuff John

You mean Jordan? He left quite a while ago for another job. No hard feelings between him and John as far as I know
@tastemyshells5813 oh really dang I don't remember them mentioning that. I watch every video well dang I liked Jordan dude was a unit and smart.
@tastemyshells5813 thanks for letting me know!

Gotta laugh cause it’s a surprise for John’s wife, but he’s talking about storing all his stuff in the hidden cabinet 😂
😂😂😂😂 love this
Yeah I mean, it’s not like he did the rest of the room or the entire island and smart mirror for her or anything, leave it to a woman to criticise a man when he does something for himself
to be fair it's a really good place to keep things you don't want small children readily getting their hands on
Women don’t like secret compartments. 😂
Closet wars, lol
Professor Sam should teach cabinetmaking classes. Guy's a natural!
Awesome, absolutely love it. Great idea with the sit / stand desk hardware. Only thing I would have done with the hidden cabinet is have the shelves on both sides.

Good morning 🌅, great build, well worth the effort and time spent on it, from France
Your washer/dryer is in the closet.....that's my new dream
Fabulous!!! You guys do amazing work.
One of the best RUclips Pew references I’ve heard of are “long range hole punches” 😂

“Holy shit !!!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your such a great Woodworker. Inspire me everyday🙏
Love this video style, seeing a project from start to finish, warts and all, is so satisfying. Thank you John and Team
Panari is my favorite, John. Nice piece.
A day earlier than usual!!! Glad to be on call and sober on a Saturday night in Australia, and now having something to watch 👍👍👍
Great build. Why not soft close on the drawers?
Yesss! Im suppose to go fix a shower drain but my head is pounding this morning! No i didnt drink. But this is the perfect excuse to chill for another 40 minutes. Thanks bud!

I would have glued foam on both sides of the round wood piece and just frictionfit them in there, would be plenty of space for fingers
Just an FYI John, magnets are bad for mechanical watches
Need to get Bob from I like to make stuff to learn you how to work the hidden compartment without the factory button bar. Would require a raspberry pi
I would do a Perspex with built in leds centre compartment with rotating watch mounts a rod mounts for pews and knife block for the bottom two corners and the top with clip for ones with clips.
John, you are doing really good on your weight loss. Keep it up!
I would not have spent that time shaping beautiful walnut only to cover it up with leather. Could've covered a shaped pine 2x4. BUT I do understand working thru an evolving idea. Love the whole thing.
Love your show. Magnets are not good for watches. I might be wrong that but be good thing to check into.
Watches really don't like magnets. (or electric shocks, but that's for another day hehe)
Cool build.
Do not put a magnet near your automatic/mechanical or quartz watches.
Unfortunately I don't really have a need for closet nor are any of mine walkin able... still I've learned something 😅
34:11 need an Air Soft or Nerf Pew? I may have something floating around
13:30 hold up Chicko I watched that hidden whiskey bar video also sure I commented on it too 🤔
Watches, knives, and pews, same here. I organized mine in quite a similar fashion. Kudos bud! Great project!
U could use Velcro to hold the boxes or for the bck panel for the knives
Damn, turned out phenomenal😮💨👌🏼 nice work fellas🤜🏼🤛🏼
That is a serious-sized closet! Well done.
Your stuff is so amazing man, hopefully one day I can afford something! I'm trying to refinish some furniture on the side and watch a lot of your videos for inspiration. Keep it up man. Always funny and great content.
Hi there guy's great job u did there well done.x
John, you got a real jem with Sam!! And crew.
Very cool!!
Did I miss the link for the sit stand desk link? I like upcycling and repourposing and keeping cost down. Those actuators looks nice!
For the watch holders I would have gone with some 3d printed stuff. You could then customize future storage solutions.
I would have been tempted to line it all with cedar. Smells good and repels bugs.
That is really beautiful 😍 I love it!!

Good video John really nice closet 🤛👍
love the video.Thanks for the inspiration
Great project everything looks great but magnets near watches will damage them.
Beautifully done John.
More detail, more materials, great build
31:48 "Right meow!" love it XD
Foreshadowing for the cat costume John is going to wear soon
Wife: OMG its a smart mirror. Does it make me look better? John: I don't know. 😂😂😂🤣That's not the correct answer
38:09 I thought it was the month of freedom for a minute, brother. 😆🤙🏾 this is the song Cleet has going for the entire month of freedom, right?
keep it up man! Love the work. Enjoy this saturday morning!
Closet turned out awesome! Come to Indiana and help me build out my barn/shop?! lol
Would have been far easier to just get rid of some of your ridiculously large amount of clothes!
Yeah, the simplest option was overlooked. But, we know how John's people are... Living that good life.
What sit stand legs did you use? I have been trying to find one like those.
Nicely done, John.
You can tell when John is building something for himself because he takes all the time to get it right, no rushing or cutting corners!
expect nothing less from you! another excellent video!
When gluing pre finished plywood you need to use something like roo glue and not regular wood glue. It adheres better to non porous surfaces
If only I was that talented a woodworker.
Wow, a very cool build. Silly question...What is the purpose/ behind the small door (I assume) in the wall?
Fun build
The map gag was amazing!

You should call Bob at I like to make stuff and have him walk you through hacking the button pad better.
Not a fan of the mismatch in colours in the closet (green island, white shelving and stuff) But i love the island, soooo cool!!!
I could use some window awnings and or lean-to car port.
Should have added an automatic watch winder case, they are cheap and look really nice. Depending on what class watch you plan on buying
The other side of that secret compartment could have been utilised for jewelry storage ( where the knives are )
The washer & dryer still in the closet 😮, that's weird!
Just wondering why not take that opportunity to relocate it out of (what i can assume is) the master closet?
