Be Warned!!: Matthew is one of those rare individuals that can inspire you into wanting to go build or make something you never dreamed possible. He is also capable of getting you to snort your coffee (or whatever you may be drinking) through your nose with such force that an Olympic judging panel would give you a perfect score or 10! (Cue Wilson). Thanks Matthew!! Now where’s that cleaning rag . . .
When you're making the little arches for the ends of the tiny boxes, make it on a bigger piece of wood so the jigsaw-cut is in the middle of the board.Now you've got 2 ends for one jigsaw cut. Do one set of boxes with an arch going up and one set with it going down. Get double the end-pieces for the same work
I am completely dyslexic when it comes to angles so woodworking, as much as I enjoy it, can be a challenge for me 😢😂. Seeing how simple a mitered bevel can be was eye opening. Thanks!
I enjoy watching your videos. You are honest and respectful, most important you don’t use cuss word. I’ve seen other videos similar to your show and that person says a lot of cuss words. That turns me off.
Love and enjoy your videos on "smalls" and the other less complicated items. You do a great job of making what appears complicated into easy projects. Appreciate you and your channel 🙏 ❤️.
This is just a fantastic human! Mathew is the reason I started woodworking..well getting the confidence to actually trying to sell my stuff. Well I started wood working about 15 months ago. Tried to sell a bunch of stuff. Got laughed at on multiple occasions,some people said it looked like I make my stuff out of scrap. Because of Mathew I kept trying,! Long and behold I finally built something people really like and I'm making a very nice second income! Sold 15 in 2 weeks! I'm on top of the world someone actually likes something I built enough to buy it. So wife's happier I'm happier lmao And it's all because of you brother! Ok u getting big now so I hope u get around to seeing this comment it's from the heart! Keep on keeping on brother,!
I do appreciate what you said at the end. I am wanting to do things like this, make smalls as a little hobby project thing. I don't necessarily have the intention to sell, I just want to learn something new. Try things out and, if I make a buck out of it, all the better. However, my intentions are just to learn. I tried talking to family who have the tools I would like to use until I can afford my own, but I get somewhat knocked down a peg and discouraged. I got a lot of pallet wood that I broke down and have all these plans for... and I haven't made anything with them since they questioned the first thing I made. I need to just throw their opinions aside and just keep doing it for me.
Procrastinating is the Dream killer, don’t let others steal your dreams and aspirations unless you give it to them to steal. The greatest satisfaction is when you make it all by yourself. I’ve been a carpenter and take great satisfaction in all my projects I planned. Just go for it as wood not used can rot so can your dreams set aside.
I'm a 60 year old woman and never worked with wood or made anything until a couple years ago. Everything I've made so far has been very rustic and simple designs with pallet wood. Most things sell eventually 😂 and some things I give away 😊. I have limited tools so I can't do some of the things he talks about here. But maybe some day. Do not let others keep you from trying and learning.
Don't tell anyone what you're going to do, wait until you did it and THEN tell them what you DID! It's hard to get discouraged when you make the mistakes you make - and you will make mistakes if you do anything - and you can throw it away and try again or rework the piece that has the mistake and possibly make something entirely different which opens your eyes to creativity. Practice makes perfect but practice also makes mistakes, don't forget that.
Matthew is one of the best wood teachers I watch… and I’ve seen hundreds of them, Matt thank you for truly caring about your followers ! Love you brother
The little boxes look intriguing. I spent yesterday sorting and rearranging all my scrap wood. Lots of it will be perfect for this!! A cute decal on the end would be perfect!! Happy Easter to you and yours!!
For the "bench", use screws for the initial assembly and glue up. Back them out and drill for a contrasting dowel for final assembly before finish. Do this for all the screws as then you can claim "all hand joined - no metal fasteners".
I have just recently found your UA-cam channel. Thank you for sharing your videos. I am just starting to get into woodworking and I have learned so much from your videos.
Thanks for another great video. My concern when building a bench is making sure the legs are secure. I wouldnt want them to break or come lose when someone is sitting on it. How would you secure the legs on the benches you just showed? thanks
I really appreciate your videos they're very inspiring I lost my job 4 months ago and now it's hard for me to get a job again because I was affiliated with the Union but I have a lot of experience with woodwork I have a lot of tools so watching your videos motivates me and utilizes my tools
I'm just getting started on woodworking. I saw your videos were impressed with your project, too, and make money on different projects made. So I have been watching for a while. So, thanks for each video you put out.
Great assortment this week! Do you think that first bench would be sturdy enough, even with dowels, to support a 250lb guy? Seems a little sketchy. Cool shirt!!
I can usually figure most things out, but the one thing that usually stops me is finishing(stain/paint). I think once I do a project that would be easy to finish then I'd get more confidence in doing more. I am in the process of looking to make $$ with wood and finding your channel has given me some hope about projects! Thanks!
How stable are those benches going to be without any kind of stretcher or cross bracing to prevent racking? Built how they are they seem like they would be more decorative than useful.
Wow buddy you have come through with more ideas of woodworking, you impressed me with this video, thanks , soon as this hurricane gets over here in Georgia, I’ll start working on some more projects. Thanks again, if you have any ideas on how to make a wood table saw board cutting sled,please share it with us I know it’s different from what you are doing here but it would really appreciate your input on how to make it. Thanks 😊
As always I love you videos. I’m actually getting ready to build myself another shop. I’ve been out of my wood working for 3 years and I have missed it. Shop should be done sometime in May. I’m excited. Happy Easter my friend
LOVE your videos!! Thank you so much for continued inspiration for those of us just getting started in this great skill!! Keep the videos coming please.
Thanks for this video brother really needed this right now and theres couple those ill definitely be giving a shot at making and selling your the best keep it coming 👍🏴
First let me say your smalls videos are great. Looking at the last bench you showed we can build much better, plus delivery from Pottery Barn takes up to three weeks to deliver and it is not designed to be sat on. Plus needs assembly. Thank you for these videos.
Wow!! I was watching you on my T.V and saw the. Well is it a dresser? Idk what you would call it. But I call is so right on. Do you sell them? I love it!!
For that "nautical decoration" (painted 4x4 w/ rope), it would be awesome if you could figure out how to cut another, tighter angle on the top to make it look even more like a bottle. All I see when I look at that decoration is an abstract representation of decorative bottle and that makes me want it to look even more like that.
Your buoy-nautical-coastal/beachy thing actually looks better than the ones pictured in that website, lol. Anyways, subscribed.... Cheers from Florida!
I found your channel while I was laid off during bs19. I made a bunch of stuff out of locally sawn cedar, benches, stools and stuff like that. What sort of places do you folks market this kinda stuff at? I'm on marketplace, been to craft shows, even weekend long shows. I can't get anyone to buy the stuff. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I been loving your videos thank you. I was recently told not to use wood pallets because they could have been sprayed with a harmful chemical...can you shed some light on this?
Thank you for these videos!!! You have inspired me to start getting into woodworking. I just purchased your plans for the Picnic Table/Condiment Holder and can hardly wait to try that!!! I tried to join your discord and when I click on accept invitation, it says that I cannot accept invitation. Any ideas on why that is happening? Well, gotta go and find another one of your videos to watch!!!
As a crazy chicken person, I can attest to chicken people being kinda crazy, and will buy anything chicken themed. Egg holders, chicknic tables, whatever. We love our chickens. 😂
If I were building that first bench I''d probably create a stringer between the braces. Because honestly, I wouldn't sit on that bench as they built it. Without something to tie the legs together it will eventually end badly. Only exception would be if you used thicker very hard wood that doesn't check much for the top and the legs were mortised all the way through. (which is something they actually used to do back in the old times)
I've been inspired! I went to buy fence pickets. They are so rough. How and why do your pickets look like you can lick it without getting a splinter? I think I even got a splinter through my gloves.
I've looked at these types of benches recently because my daughter & SIL recently moved into a bigger apartment & she has had a list of wants from Momma. Lol She wants a bench near her entrance door where she can sit, take off her shoes & place them underneath. I've looked at bench like the ones you're showing & after thinking I can build that, I thought I could build it better. To me, a cross brace/shelf attached the the cross brace of the legs would make it more stable. Cedar pickets & 2x2x8s are $1.99 each at a Surplus place I shop. So, I thought, why not make the seat and "shelf/cross brace" out of the pickets? She's going to want it painted regardless of what I use, so I could make one about 35" long by 11" wide & about 24" tall with the shelf/brace a couple of ripped fence boards to fit across the the center of the legs. I could make it for under $10. 😊
Love the first box. I'll need to figure out how they rough the box up to make it look rustic. Something I've not tried. Unfortunately for me, I have another person in my town that is producing the same flower boxes I make. As you say with everything, I need to figure out what to do to make them standout compared to his flower boxes. My only reprieve is that he's selling them for $45 unfinished. This year my pricing is $50 for 1 or $45 for 2 painted. Hopefully that is enough to differentiate us.
What is the make of your pocket ruler and where did you get it. Been unable to find one like yours. Find everything but the stainless steel one like yours. Really love your videos and they are very informative. Have also order some of your plans. Thanks and have a great day.
Hey Matthew. I'm a subscriber and love the channel. I really enjoy woodworking. Do you have a video showing the best ways to sell your products. Online sites are taking up so much of my profit. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks jeff
Hi there! I am new to your channel and absolutely absolutely loved your videos. Question on how to find what sells in my area? Like how do you know what is going in my area and what people are buying?
Got an idea for a t shirt for you. What about take the logo that is at the beginning of you videos. The one with a saw blade that has your picture in the middle and your name across it. Can’t really make out the writing around the top . This on the back and on the front put ( I CAN BUILD THIS). I think this would be really a good seller. I personally would buy at least two. I really enjoy watching your videos and more than once. If you decide to do one like this. Please let me know so I can get me a couple. Thanks and have a nice day.

😂😂😂 💯
This is literally what I came here to post. Matthew is a wonderful person and the reason I started woodworking.
So well written! Also, so true. 😂
Absolute fact.
😃
The egg holder you made would look great as a votive holder
When you're making the little arches for the ends of the tiny boxes, make it on a bigger piece of wood so the jigsaw-cut is in the middle of the board.Now you've got 2 ends for one jigsaw cut. Do one set of boxes with an arch going up and one set with it going down. Get double the end-pieces for the same work
Drop the jigsaw, just use a big paddle bit or hole saw and then saw the board in the middle making both legs. Sand the two legs and you're DONE!
If you're new here, subscribe to this guy! He's worth it!!
Thank you!
I am completely dyslexic when it comes to angles so woodworking, as much as I enjoy it, can be a challenge for me 😢😂. Seeing how simple a mitered bevel can be was eye opening. Thanks!
I'm not glad that you have that but I am glad to know I'm not alone 😂
You can do it!
Thanks for the burst of inspiration and self-confidence pep talk!
of course!
You are a very positive person. You're right about others questioning you, but as you said believe in yourself!!! Have a great day!!!
I enjoy watching your videos. You are honest and respectful, most important you don’t use cuss word. I’ve seen other videos similar to your show and that person says a lot of cuss words. That turns me off.

Dude, I loved your outro. Thank you.
Matthew is one of the best wood teachers I watch… and I’ve seen hundreds of them, Matt thank you for truly caring about your followers ! Love you brother
You gave me inspiration for a stackable egg holder!
Awesome!
Love watching your videos!! Keep them coming!! I am just a beginner and have alot of pallets to use !!
Thank you! Will do!
Agree!! 100%, thanks fir your videos
Happy Easter!
Same to you!
I got 4×4 extra wood I found out behind my shed. Thanks for the idea.
Perfect!
Happy Easter 🐣 hope you and yours have a Blessed Sunday
The little boxes look intriguing. I spent yesterday sorting and rearranging all my scrap wood. Lots of it will be perfect for this!! A cute decal on the end would be perfect!! Happy Easter to you and yours!!

First thing that popped into my mind with the 4x4 was thats a big crayon. 😂
Excellent idea! Paint it up like a crayon! Would have to be longer for proportion.
I was thinking about knocking off the corner edges on my table saw and painting it up like a No. 2 pencil.
@@woodsman105 another good idea. You could make it to be an outdoor decor piece.
Make a few benches myself. But I always put a cross member from one pair of legs to the other.just for added strength
I have just recently found your UA-cam channel. Thank you for sharing your videos. I am just starting to get into woodworking and I have learned so much from your videos.
Your a awesome dude Mathew. I've learned so much from you...
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for another great video. My concern when building a bench is making sure the legs are secure. I wouldnt want them to break or come lose when someone is sitting on it. How would you secure the legs on the benches you just showed? thanks
Happy Easter! Thanks for the video!
Happy Easter. Thank you for watching.
he has risen
And Christ is King 👑
Mattie, you ROCK my friend! Thanks for the extra words at the end! Needed that today!!!

Always awesome content Matthew.
Thank you.

That's what I was thinking. Any side to side movement and those legs will snap off
Thanks Matthew all I need is equipment to work with
Much love brother loved the vid 🫡
Happy Easter. Great ideas! I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming. 😃👍
Another great video with awesome content!! Happy Easter Matt.

Fantastic message at the end brother! I have a few boards that didn't sell. Thinking I may need to make them egg holders.
Go for it!
Thank you Mathew
Thanks Matthew another great vid.
Peech you continue to be a Peach. Keep fighting the good fight bud.
Will do!
I found your channel while I was laid off during bs19. I made a bunch of stuff out of locally sawn cedar, benches, stools and stuff like that. What sort of places do you folks market this kinda stuff at? I'm on marketplace, been to craft shows, even weekend long shows. I can't get anyone to buy the stuff. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I get great information and a want to do something from you . Great teacher and motivation
Great job on the Video Brother. Happy Easter.
Another awesome video !!!!!

You're welcome!
Thank you...
I would love to hang out in your shop with you…just pick your brain. Such awesome content. Thank you!
HAPPY EASTER , Brother
You too!
Another great video.
Just wondering how you would attach the legs to the bench for maximum stability?
I been loving your videos thank you. I was recently told not to use wood pallets because they could have been sprayed with a harmful chemical...can you shed some light on this?
Thanks Matt!!
Thanks
Hold on..let me get another cup of coffee😁
Great ideas……again!😊
Thank you! 😊
Great videos! Thanks! Question: Are your glasses also safety glasses?
Nice ideas, as always.

Don’t complain! Trying to buy cedar pickets at reasonable prices in New England is impossible. HD and Lowe’s will not sell them in New England!
Awesome Bro!! Thanks

Matthew has shown how to do the rustic in look in a video. Maybe YT will let me share the link. lol. ua-cam.com/video/OtHhuSgkV98/v-deo.html
What is the make of your pocket ruler and where did you get it. Been unable to find one like yours. Find everything but the stainless steel one like yours. Really love your videos and they are very informative. Have also order some of your plans. Thanks and have a great day.
That is a woodpeckers pocket rule
Vary Cool, I also like a great Bench.👍
