If you are going to paint over it, you can use this product from Bondo: www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Bondo-12-fl-oz-Wood-Filler-30081/206680651 It is a two part chemical that you mix, but it dries completely, ready to sand in about 15 minutes. It only has about five to ten minutes of working time after you mix it, so make small batches. They say it is able to take stain but I have not tried that. It works fantastic for painted surfaces.
@@diyhuntress I enjoy doing woodworking myself but my job takes about 98% of my time and I dont have many woodworking tools anymore after my divorce. But I plan on getting more and doing more woodworking
am blown away ! this is just remarkable that u'v built it from scratch !! 😍😍😍🙌🙌 i have already re-painted an old console with a similar blue color and left the top with natural dark stain and it turned out great
Excellent & keep up the good work... One of the best channel ever seen. Furthermore, you share your measurements and details with all your followers for free👍🏽.. Many thanks ❤️
Great project. Great video. I'll be using these plans to build an outdoor cabinet for my bar and smoker supplies. To weight down the center of large glue-up panels and boards I bought 25-lb bags of lead shot (available on Amazon). The don't take up much room in the shop and will conform to odd shapes when necessary.
I have owned a power planer for over an year and I still don't know how to flatten a slab. I use it mostly for jointing edges. But girlllll you're so cool for knowing how to
Sam, Keep these up! I'm about to get started on my first live edge furniture. Your videos are some great references. I'm still making those epoxy coasters every week for selling. Good stuff!
If you prime with a Shellac based primer it is helpful in both ply and edge banding absorbing moisture and bubbling from a water based latex top coat, and it sands nice to give a really smooth top coat. Good looking project!!
@@diyhuntress unfortunately I learned the hard way on a Murphy bed build where the thin vernier of the birch ply bubbled from the water base paint. I almost pushed the whole shop in the street because I was so fustrated with it.
excellent video. I like the way you show your mistakes, we all make them. where did you score that slab? I think on the other half of the slab you should try using Nakashima style butterfly to stabilize it instead of the epoxy - you are ready for the challenge. and lastly I find it incredibly awesome that you respond to all comments!
I love it. So glad I found your video on this build. I am planning something very similar, sadly, minus the live edge slab. What is the distance between the bottom shelf and the bottom of the legs. Also, what color paint did you use. Thanks so much. Take care.
Just found your channel a few days ago while looking for cabinet/buffet build ideas and this and the blue cabinet you built with 2x2 framing has completely inspired me! I'm used to building aquarium stands that need to hold hundreds of pounds and don't have to have a showcase furniture look to them😆. Getting started on the cabinet build soon!👍
@@diyhuntress I definitely will! So far so good! Side panels are done but I learned I need a table saw and a pocket hole jig😆. And since I'm so used to 1x3s and 2x4s, working and framing with 2x2s is a nice change!
It's amazing! That turned out so good, and the top couldn't be more perfect. There's nothing more satisfying that seeing a beautiful raw piece of wood being oiled. :-D Beautiful build!
What camera do you use, I'm just wondering if you can get a lapel mike or an external mike as sometimes you are very quiet, apart from that I love what you do, you are very talented, mistakes & all, ☺
This is great! I just found your channel today and having been binging it all day! Much of what you create is similar to what I would like to do for my own home and its so exciting to see that it's all collected on one channel! I don't yet have any tools, what would your top must have tools be? Thanks so much!
What! This makes me so, so stoked! Thank you so much for all of the love! I vote you start with a miter saw or circular saw, drill, and sander. If you’re willing to hand sand, I’d swap the sander for a nailer. You might have seen them, I have some three-tool projects that are great starter projects for limited tools. Good luck on your journey!
@@diyhuntress LOL not to worry what a delightful issue. Live edge slabs just seem like a blast to work with but even the simplest live edge projects seem so expensive. SO PRETTY THOUGH *goes to re watch video*
That looks great. One point, I looked through the comments and didn't see that you've already addressed this, but were you aware that pocket screws used to attach a solid-wood top don't allow for seasonal movement? This is a big problem long term and can lead to a split after a couple of seasons. And with the slab coming in directly from outside like this it could have a lot of drying out to do this first winter, so the top will want to shrink across its width which will put a lot of strain on the screws. Other than that great build. And nice job on doubling up the sides, beefed up like this they balance nicely with the thick top.
I’ll definitely keep an eye on it and see how it moves - it was kiln dried and has been sitting and acclimating for a while, so there should hopefully not be too much movement. The screws are in (I used specific screws rated for hardwoods), and the slab is sturdy, but I didn’t over tighten. If anything changes, I’ll make note on the video and the post over time. Everything is a learning experience. This build was one of them. 😊
This literally looks amazing. I love that you show your mistakes.
It looks amazing. Totally going to remember that joint compound trick for the future though...
Thanks, girlfriend! So smart, right? Can’t wait to try it!

Hahah - it’s a life saver! I actually share some tricks for using one in my dining table video!
Every build you take more risks and it’s paying off, awesome work

Thank you! I totally agree about finishing the slab! 😍
Looks amazing totally love it
Thank you so much!
Great job Sam once again. It is also a shame you don't have second anvil. Wile E Coyote would shake his head at you. 🤣
Thank you! So true! 😂
Looks perfect, the oak looks stunning as well!
Thank you! So happy with it. 😍
Came out great!! :) Yes please, more videos like this!
Yesss! So happy you loved it! 😍
Amazing amazing. How many clamps do you have?
... never enough. 😂
Awesome project. Keep it up
Thank you!
Another great project Sam! I too am going to remember the joint compound trick given to you by the super cool, AW.
Thank you! Yeah - she’s awesome!
Loved it
What camera do you use, I'm just wondering if you can get a lapel mike or an external mike as sometimes you are very quiet, apart from that I love what you do, you are very talented, mistakes & all, ☺
I have a Canon Rebel t6i and I’m having such issues with my sound! I have a great shotgun mic hooked up to it... ☹️ Thanks for the love!
Looks awesome! I'm going to build some cabinet doors the way you did it!! Thanks for the tips!!
Yess! Glad this was helpful!
Now you just need a larger TV to fit that beautiful cabinet!
Yess!
Love this. Great video
Thank you!
Woahhhh that’s so cool!!!
Ficou incrível !!! Parabéns.
🙏🏼
Great stuff! Noticed that you have the new sawstop jobsite pro tablesaw. How are you liking it? Happy with the fence?
Thank you! I am SO happy with my saw!
Très joli travail bravo salut Jeannot 🛠🙂
Merci beaucoup! 😍
Very Nice, good Job, message from France.
Thank you!
It looks awesome!! What kind of table saw do you have? I’m in the market to upgrade.
Thank you! I use a Saw Stop job site saw.
I have just bought a log and have made slabs out of it , thinking to buy electric hand planer , will it make it flat like a thickneser machine ?
That’s awesome! It will. It just takes a little longer.
Great work! You've done some pretty big builds lately and aced them💪 Love the live edge😎👌
Thank you so much! On a mission to push myself and make cooler things. 🙏🏼
This turned out great Sam, nicely done!
Thank you!
Excellent
Thank you!
Amazing!!!
Thank you!
Love it!!! I would like to try one soon!
I would love that!
Realy realy nice! Hopefully there’s no copy right on it. I think… I have to go in my workshop…
Keep it up !!!
Thank you! Came up with this design on my own and published plans for it... so, you’re more than welcome to replicate. 😊
Love it. Amazing job!
Thank you! 😍😭
With the slab screwed to the base cabinet, any worries of the slab expanding/contracting and ripping the cabinet apart?
Nope. It’s been installed in its final spot for over a year now and have had zero issues. 😊

Very good ..from Italy
Thank you!
Super cool! Getting very inspired by your works! If I’m just starting out on DIY stuff, what planet should I buy?
Thank you! That’s awesome! I have a RYOBI power hand planer and a RIDGID 13” surface planer. Both are awesome!
Love this SO MUCH. Nosy question - what was the price point for the live edge slab?
Thank you! In all honesty, it was part of a big bundle, so I couldn’t even tell you how much it was on its own. 😕
@@diyhuntress LOL not to worry what a delightful issue. Live edge slabs just seem like a blast to work with but even the simplest live edge projects seem so expensive. SO PRETTY THOUGH *goes to re watch video*
This was the opposite design of your Sideboard Cabinet. Liked your design. Liked the tabletop! :-)
Thank you so much!
Very nice
Thank you!
😍😍😍love it! Very cool!
Thanks for the love! 😍
I've got to figure out how to post a picture of this shadow box that I built so you can see it!lol!
look great
Thank you!
Realllyyyy niceeee.
