    This was a great return to the Beginner to Pro series. Lou was a true beginner DIY weekend warrior build, Chris was a legit build someone with a little experience can churn out and John goes H.A.M. on the details. All three look great but how can you not want a solid Walnut end table in your house.

    This is your first 3 levels since Sam and Jordan left. Hello to Lou and Chris! I also noticed a new format where the three levels were interspersed instead of each build being by itself. While htis gave it much more of a horse race vibe, it made it more difficult keep track of which techniques were used in Chris' level (2).

    I really love watching the "3 Level" episodes. In this case, I feel like I could do the most basic, aspire to the middle, and flat out lie to everyone about having done John's after buying it from him. Good stuff! It is what makes Sunday more than just the day before you start work all over again. Thanks.

  • @danielhanawalt4998
    @danielhanawalt4998 6 місяців тому

    All three of the builds look great. The beginner has a more sleek modern no frills look, which appeals to some people more than than the fancier ones. The mid level is only a little fancier and looks very nice too. The pro level has it's appeal with the type wood and design elements and looks nice. The drawer front sets it off nicely. If someone wanted to make a drawer front like that but didn't feel comfortable doing it the way it was done, you could cut narrow strips out of the same piece and glue and screw them to the front after beveling them to give a similar appearance. A good match up of the grain would make it appear to have been made from one solid piece of wood. I give all three of these a thumbs up.

    Great format, I liked seeing the three builds at the same time rather than one at a time. I like the three level build-offs, you should do more of them. The level 2 by Chris was my favorite, while the "Pro" build was nice and the would choice was great, I didn't care for the style. The beginner build was good, I liked it after it was finished and while the glue didn't accept the stain the color achieved was awesome.
