    I love how I always find something new in your videos that I never would have thought of, like a bench cookie dispenser, that is amazing! And well, the incredible shelf project, but I love to find things that are secondary to the main topic of the video

    April, you are so talented! You have inspired so many women to just get up and do what makes them happy. Woodworking isn't just for men. I get stuck worrying that no one will like what I make, but it's not about what others think. it's about enjoying what you are doing.
    LOVE RESPECT KINDNESS ONLY MATTERS! Spread IT!

    So many things to like in this video. That drill press for a handheld drill, the shelf hardware, that walnut. Everything came together nicely.

    Hi April. I still use my Port-Align from the 1970s. One of the great inventions. Best regards.

    Hey April love the eraser trick with the tape, I gotta try it sometime... But a cool tip I like to use the most and is most convenient is the roll of tape itself, just use the whole roll to slide across the edge thats taped.. It usually works out everytime and is quick , easy and already in ur hand or near by.

  • @alwaysworking7899
    @alwaysworking7899 4 роки тому

    Tyvek tape is the best thing I’ve found for epoxy pours, no leaks and it comes off super easy with a little heat. Shelves look awesome definitely going to have to build some.

  • @2H80vids

    It's pretty cool how the use of epoxy has saved so many pieces of wood from the fire. A lot of the slices with critter-holes etc wouldn't have been used before but, with epoxy being in common use now, these bits are being used in decorative projects. A win/win. 😁✔👍

  • @gardengatesopen
    @gardengatesopen 4 роки тому +12

    I like them all, and especially how the rounded edge shelves look like mushrooms growing out of a tree!
    Oh! AND the "secret stash drawer" is an awesome idea!
    Thanks for the video ♡♡♡

  • @jameswalsh4056
    @jameswalsh4056 3 роки тому

    Thanks April..you're the best. I have 2 large Black Walnut slabs that I decided to break down for smaller projects. Plenty 'o character defects. Your vid right on time as usual and got one heck of a deal on what is the first Epoxy (TotalBoat) I will have ever used. Got a spot for a shelf arrangement just like this. Love all your content.

    That was so cool!
    I have a bunch of apple, pear and plum stumps and odds and ends that I just couldn't figure out what to do with them. Now I know! 😉
    That drill press is a must tool for me to get! I make furniture and things out of reclaimed wood. That tool is going help me tremendously!
    Thank you so much for sharing your talents! 🙏

    Those shelves are beautiful. It's funny, though, how old things become new again. That portable drill press (in a MUCH earlier and far more basic model) was an 'as seen on TV' product in the late 70s. I owned one and it did most of the same things yours did and I believe it was 'only $19.95'. But wait - there's more! I owned one and it was an extremely handy tool, especially when you had to drill a hole in round stock. It was fun to see the concept evolve into the next century.
