TRENDING Beginner Woodworking project that SELLS - ONE BOARD BUILD (almost)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2024
- Hello fellow woodworkers or aspiring beginner woodworkers! In this video I'm going to show you how I built an easy woodworking project that is trending right now. I researched the interwebs looking for easy woodworking projects that are low cost and beginner friendly and I found the prefect project. At the same time I discovered that this woodworking project is something I didn't know I needed until I saw it. Its a narrow side table!! its a super simple new take on an already established piece of furniture. What I like about it is it serves the same purpose but it takes up less space so its perfect if you have a small living room like me!! It was almost a one board build but I decided to add a new feature to mine so I needed a small piece if scrap wood!

Been woodworking for 40+ years. Made mistakes all along the way but keep going and learning. That is why I am on you tube....to learn things I have not done or thought of. Have learned many things from new woodworkers. Great table. Thanks for the humor.
Thank you brother, the dumber I was the more I thought I knew everything! 😂😂😂
I’ve been woodworking for more than fifty years and I very much agree with your comment about learning with inexpensive, construction grade lumber. No need to buy insanely expensive hardwoods in the beginning. Loved the build. Well done.
The best part of the video is your message at 13:56 ... Reminds me of a good quote, "The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can't learn to drive in a parked car." :)
Thank you, now I wish I would have said something smart like you said!! 😂 I see a lot of videos where more professional woodworkers say not to use pine but I feel like when you are just learning its better to mess up a cheap piece of pine learning then an expensive hardwood.
Thanks @@jascogoods but ... I didn't say it. :) I quoted someone else. Who? I have no idea. :) What you said was perfect so ... there ya go.
I enjoy your videos and subscribed.
Actually, I am 67 now, and at 14 years ole at my snappy age, I learned to drive in a parked car. And then, one day after getting used to the radio, seat, more radio, mirrors, more radio, checking all my blind spots, more radio….., and then, one day I got brave, and I backed up out of the “parkway” ( can’t call it a driveway as it was in the back of the house). Backed up into the lane way, behind all our houses, then forward, then back, a tad narrow, and then, I shot “like a bat out of hell” to the street, 70 meters away. Looked for suspicious folks, yup no cops around, and turned right, drove 300 meters, always checking my mirrors for those damn suspicious folks, and then turned right. Drove about 100 meters, turned right again ( this counters all those racing programs that turn left), and drove 300 meters, and turned right, avoiding this thick metal filled with concrete that safe guarded the corner of my neighbours garage.
Then immediately turned left, then backed up, listening to the radio, then forward, listen to the radio, then backed up, then forward, ….. and then …… safe! Back in our narrow parkway. Phew, tomorrow, I think I will do two, turns in the lane way, but of course, looking out and avoiding those suspicious folks, that like ruining a fun time. I grew up in Toronto, Canada, and finally was legal to drive at 15.
Loved your story, you told it well! maybe you should be making UA-cam videos telling stories.
@@jascogoods Thank you for that, and yes, I love writing/telling stories. Have been all my life. I am not from Canada, but came here at the ripe young age of almost 3, two weeks on a boat to Halifax from Greece. So that der englize was a total pain in my butt, in der schoole (german was easier to learn go figure). I failed englize every year in high school, and repeated it every year in summer school. You can imagine, part of my summers as a wee high school lad sucked, and not the fun type. Well, not so wee, as I was into everything else in school, sports, student council, clubs, etc, standing 5'11" by the time I finished.
Oh yeah, englize, my nemesis, as all my other subjects, including learning German where no problem. Yet, would you believe, my memory was so darn good, that a week into the summer schedule, the englize teacher would be mad at me for being there, and yet would pull me onto the front as the assistant teacher. Why do you ask, because I could recite anything I read the previous year and failed at, and every test I took ( I still had to do the finals so the rest of the students would not bitch) I would pass between 97-100% correct. The teachers could not figure out why I was there. Kept trying to tell them, I am Greek, your damn language gives me a pain in the a...., and find it easier the second time around for it to sink in. Mind you, I am the only student the high school librarian looked for in our 15 year reunion, as I was her Hero, in that I read almost every book in that high school library, but that is for another time and story.
So, what was I replying to again, oh yeah, doing YT content. I also should state , that I was a member of the photography and art club in high school, and after college I actually worked in the photography field for almost ten years. Yet during that time I would look at still pictures and thought, "hmmm, I wonder how they would look moving", aka shooting a video. Which back in those days, was not an easy or cheap alternative to the bucks I already spent on my Nikons, 4x5, and 2 1/4, plus all the equipment. Though now I am updated, and I do have a Panasonic digital camera, albeit a tad older then the current models, and a DJI 3 Pro drone, and a few other video/photography related things. Just is, not enough time in the day, with all my hobbies, and currently focusing on woodworking and making it a side hustle, as idle minds and hands, lead to forget evil, being m.o.f,.o bored. Though I enjoy the creative process in building and finishing things, not only just in an artistic process.
Therefore, I would suck at telling stories and such on YT, with finding time to shoot during what ever I might be doing, and then the countless hours in editing the video. Similar to reading what I just wrote and going back and editing it. Phew, feel like I am back in school, not being paid! 😂Cheers friend.
Ya know at first, I was thinking "why would you do that? Why wouldnt you just do this? That's going to look horrible" etc.
Then you asked how maybe you could have improved because we are all learning, and you mentioned it being better than ikea - and I realized I was looking at it all wrong.
You are 100% right. This is a fantastic, easy, inexpensive project that looks great at the end. Especially for not having any of those big tools! I'm going to build one just like it, actually (if I can find my tape measure).
The only advice I can give is to orient the cup of the board so that the gap is in the middle instead of the edges. It's easier to clamp out a middle gap than an edge gap. And is more often more invisible in final product due to location.
Good job man, love it.
😂😂 Thanks brother I appreciate the encouragement and advice. I think that's just a guy thing to watch diy videos and see how you could do it better. I fully expect and welcome it because I cant get better if I don't know how. That's a lot easier to say than to do when you hear the criticism but its a good thing to strive for anyways. I'd love to see a pic when your done.
I love the fact that you are blatantly honest about being an amateur and you did a great job ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you I appreciate that, I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to trick them by pretending to be a professional. I'm just trying to share ideas with other amateurs. Wish I had UA-cam when I started.
@@jascogoods ❤️❤️
Nice video man I can appreciate a down to earth man, who’s just like the rest of us learning as we go and just trying to help others learn too!
Last weekend I made a rack thingy from old skirting boards, for my wife's herb collection. Used a small weedburner to char the grain. Was my first time and the rack looked like it was rescued from a burning building. Wife: ":\"
Then I put some bangkirai oil on it and the magic happened: a beautiful deep orange-red glow, dark brown grain, angels singing and wife:" :)"
Great channel, Sir. #subscribed
🤣🤣🤣 Dude that comment had be dying!! It is amazing what some oil will do for a piece of wood. If you're on instagram look me up at Jascogoods. If you have pics of the rack up id like to see it. it sounds pretty cool.
I was going to stop watching when a jar of mayonnaise and a spoon was considered a snack. But after dry heaving; I stuck it out and was pleasantly surprised the first video from this channel was funny, informative, and just fun to watch.
Nice job. Some advice for all of those that are going to use the soaking wet southern yellow pine from the big box stores. Stack it with stickers and let it dry for a few weeks. Then mill it or have it milled to your final dimensions. You will be more pleased with the result.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment and the advice.
Hi there. Old timer, woodworker here. Just a comment on your dowel drilling, for the top. That red & black Jointmaster that you were showing , actually drills perfectly in the middle of the wood’s edge. You were sliding it across the wood edge, but actually upside down. That’s what those four “ legs” are for on the other side of the Jointmaster. Put the Jointmaster on the wood edge, with those pins/ legs facing down. Now just twist the device till opposing pins lock onto the wood. PERFECTLY in the middle😊
Other than that, I enjoyed your humour. Many guys have forgotten WHY we started woodworking and come across SO serious, on their videos. It’s therapeutical, but also just relaxing and having FUN.
Ps. Like the little “ subscribe” notes that you sneak into the video😊
Good luck with your channel, young man.
Hannes
Love the video and your sense of self deprecating humour. Pretty funny for a 'mercan. One tip I've found useful is to put your cut/milled boards into a plastic bag (trash bag) and close (seal with a knot) the end until you are ready to assemble. You get less moisture transfer that way and it reduces the amount of cupping/bowing in your stock until you get to assemble it, especially if you're cutting one day and assembling another. Nothing worse than coming into your workshop the next day and finding all your boards twisted/bowed/cupped. Don't ask me how I know 😀
don't worry, I'm American, one of our Presidents invented "don't ask don't tell" 😂 Thank you for all the encouragement and tips. I will definitely try that trash bag thing.
Love the video. A tip for the cupped board you used for the top. If you place the board with the cupped side up you can squeeze it down with a clamp in the centre of the board. This way if the board splits the crack will be on the bottom of the board and you won't see it. Construction lumber will always twist, cup, or bow if you leave it on the shelf without clamping it down. You could also cut it into rough lengths as soon as you get it home and stack it with a weight on top.
Thank you for the comment and the advice. I need to set up a good place for letting wood sit to dry. I have a wood rack but its not set up to clamp the wood. Good call on the cupping direction. thanks
The advice I’ve gotten is to use a clear stain on pine first to seal the open grain. Then the color stain will come out more even, if that’s the look you want.
Yes sir, the only problem I have with the pre stain is that it seems to lighten the stain color I use. Its works for helping the blotchiness or consistency but I prefer the deeper shades.
I like it very much. The staining w/o sealing gave it character. Nice
Thank you!!
@@jascogoods I always use a Sealer on pine especially for the end grain. You’ll be surprised at the results.
The dollie idea is a good one. 👍
Thank you, give a task to a laze man to do and he will figure out a way to do it easy!! 😂
Just a quick FYI try using one of those glue brushes , they are cheap and it keeps your fingers cleaner , very reusable , let dry and peel the glue off.
That's so crazy that you say that because I ordered a pack of them after I made the video!! Not the silicone ones you are talking about but the disposable glue brushes. I added the silicone ones to my fathers day wish list.
Love idea of using dolly to stain or paint. Enjoyed
Thank you, the best part is they are really cheap at harbor freight! I got these as one of their monthly sales.
Just made my narrow table this weekend using your video as a guide. It turned out great, thanks!
That's awesome!! If you're on Instagram look me up and send me a pic, I would love to see how it came out. I'm JascoGoods on Insta and Facebook.
I think it looks somistecatid too. Great job!
😂😂😂 At first I thought you were using a big fancy word that I didn't understand and then I realized what you were doing. 🤣
Just subscribed. Side table looks great. When I make anything I usually use cheap timber. At least if it goes wrong it hasn't cost too much, just time. Tip: I always use a riving knife on my table saw. Helps kickback, but to each his own.
Thanks for the video. I will definitely build this.
Yep. Good job. Looks great! 👍
Thank you.
neat little build. i always put the grain so that it will cup toward the inside of my cases and such. you won't have as many gaps like you had in your build that way. if you're looking at the grain from the side, it should look like a smile. the grain lines try to straighten as they dry. that lets you put a singe fastener in the center so the wood can move without splitting. i usually use two fasteners about an inch apart in the center on each side. the grain in your project is all aligned so you don't have to worry about it here, but if you are ever building a top on a cross grain structure it works pretty well.
you can also rebate or mortise for where your shelves sit to hold them flat over time as well. more work, but doesn't have to be perfect. when you're working with rough materials like construction lumber, i think that rustic is usually the way to go.
wow thank you for all the new knowledge. I will definitely incorporate it in future builds. Whenever I build anything I mostly just try to put the best side facing out. The side with the best looking wood grain or maybe the least amount of flaws.
@@jascogoods it took building dozens of projects with plane sawn solid wood tops before i caught on. a video by stumpynubs really drove it home for me though. i'll see if i can find it and reply with it for you.
Thank you, I watch Stumpy all the time!
Wood working is about doing and learning as you do. You can watch a thousand videos and learn something. Then you try it and realized you only learned 25% of what you needed to know.
That is soo true, thanks!
Great job! I named my side hustle shop "Perfect Imperfections" it's kinda the way I build or make things in my shop. I see the Imperfections in all my work!
That's a great name! I am the same way, it drives my wife nuts. She's always telling me to just slap wood together like she sees on pinterest and she thinks I overcomplicate everything.
Your commentary is hillarious!!! Love these videos. Best wishes from all us woodworkers in England 👍
Thank you brother I appreciate the encouragement from across the pond!! 😂 Sorry thats what my English friend use to always say.
Thank you!! great video. I’m just learning woodworking and your video is really good.
Thanks brother I appreciate that, I hope woodworking brings you as much joy as its brought me!
Fantastic!
I’m gonna try it. I like it.
Thank you, I wish there was a way for everyone to share pics of theirs on here. If your on facebook or instagram you should send me a pic so i can see how it comes out.
Great Job Jasco!!!
Thank you, I appreciate the support.
Great job and thanks for the video
Thanl you, I appreciate it!
I really enjoyed your humor and woodworking abilities! I am NEW to wood working. I don’t have any tools. I am going to look at getting set up soon and this might be the first build I attempt when I get set up.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment because the whole reason I started making videos was to share the little bit of knowledge I had with beginner woodworkers. If you do make this it would be awesome if you could send me a pic on my Jascogoods instagram. It would be cool to see how it turns out.
As requested, I find the best stain for pine to be one coat of pre-stain followed by one coat of expresso. Expresso is dark, but the pre-stain really softens it. It gives you the lighter walnut-like color, which I've found to be highly desired by customers in my area in Wisconsin. I normally give the pre-stain about 5-7 minutes to soak in before wiping off the excess and apply the expresso. Good luck!
Thank you, i appreciate the tips! I have an Espresso I use also but its the same behr brand. What kind of espresso is it? I find the colors really very by stain type and brand.
This video was very refreshing lol... I'm fairly new to woodworking but I've recently been happy with Minwax Espresso stain on pine 👍
Thank you, I haven't used the minmax espresso but I did try the Behr one and I like it. But colors are sooo different from brand to brand, Ill have to try it.
This is great, looks good and just what I need - guess I now have another project to work on, thanks for sharing this with us… ✅ 👍🏻
Thank you for the encouragement! What would life be like if we didn't have to many projects we want to do!!! 😂😂😂
Good video. Entertaining. I agree, we are all here to learn.
Thank you, I love that there is a place like UA-cam that we can go to and just exchange knowledge.
@@jascogoods definitely
like the table, i might build one for the living room. I to am learning how all this works better, I just purchased a 12" miter slideing saw to help me with the bigger boards i have. keep up the great work.
Thank you! A miter saw is a great first tool to get. I use mine for everything I make. I'm sure you'll love woodworking. It can be tough learning but its so rewarding when you finish a project that you made with your own hands!
I just subscribed because not only you share your knowledge but also make it fun and entertaining. 😂
You need that Rockler portable drill press that attaches to a handheld drill. Then your holes for the dowels would be perfectly straight and line up first time
I've seen the cheap versions of those on Amazon but the reviews are not that good. I didn't know Rockler made one ill have to check it out, thanks!!
Love it , job well done!!
Thanks Brother!
Lately I have been using Ebony stain. It is obviously very dark but it comes out beautiful and in some light it gives off a prism. Almost like a puddle of gasoline. I will also torch the wood to really bring out the grain.
That sounds awesome, I use True black sometimes and that's pretty similar. I just did a video a few weeks ago where I used it to stain some towel holders I made.
I love it !!!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Love the video and side table came out Beautiful
That's a pretty table.
Thank you.
Simple but needed/functional! I like it great job. Definitely have to try one one day!
thank you, UA-cam needs to make an easy way for everyone to share their projects in the comments.
@@jascogoods oh yes, that would amazing honestly. Especially for people who don’t post.
Good job I may have to build something like that
Thanks brother, id like to see it when your done. maybe send me a pic on my instagram if you want.
Good job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it The gaps don’t bother me it was handmade and not built on a assembly line Keep building God Bless
Thank you brother I appreciate the encouragement.
I actually thought he had less gaps than what you'd get from Ikea or any other box/home goods stores. I was impressed.
Very sofistimicated! Nice shelf dude!
😂😂😂 Thanks brother!
Looks good, nice table!
very cool thanks for the video
Sir , I loved it .
Thank you 🙏🏼
I have learned to really love the stain color
“ Gun Stock “
It really looks like the gun stock of a fine hunting rifle. 👍
I'm guessing that's a shade of gray. I really like gray stains too!!
Throughly enjoyed that. Thank you and keep up the good work. 😊
Love it! Glad i found your Channel. Love the fact that you use "everyday" tools that most of us have. I dont own a planer, nor is o e in the Budget right now, but you proved a nice piece can be made without o e
Thanks brother I appreciate your comment because that's my intention. So people can see you can make things out of wood and sell it and keep building your tool collection if that's what you want to do. you don't have to wait till you have all the fancy machines to get started.
Well done
Thank you
very simple very good thnx
Good project !
Thanks brother!
Perfect-a-Mundo!
Thanks-a-Mundo!! 😂
Dude, that thing is awesome! Great job! I love your videos because you explain things well and make it easy for people like me to know what’s going on. I love your humor and I will continue to watch your videos as long as you put them out. Keep up the good work buddy!
Thanks brother I really appreciate the encouragement. I always hear about all the trolls waiting to get you in the comments but not too many people talk about all the supportive comments like yours. Its comments like these that make it easy to be silly and enjoy making videos. Thanks again.
@@jascogoodsHey brother, pay no attention to trolls. They’re miserable people who don’t own tools.
haha well maybe they just need some tools!! I love that explanation of a troll!😂😂😂
Tried to make sure this observation was not mentioned in these comments so, when you started working with dowels you started with a black and red doweling jig with a handle which you need to read how it is used because you completely missed how it works.
This jig also aligns holes along the center and guides a drill bit for square without using additional jigs like the blue center finder. It works the same way using the post of the jig.
You are 100 percent right. I actually watched a video on UA-cam that the manufacturer made showing how to use this tool right. I wrongly assumed it was just for joining ends. I appreciate the comment.
good for you, love the can do, here to learn attitude. 👍❤
Thank you, I appreciate that!
happy Saturday... pro-vin-chill
Thank you, I would not have thought that's how it pronounced, its like Worcestershire Sauce for me!! 😂😂😂
Nice piece enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks brother, I appreciate the comment.
Like your content, well done. I'll watch more!
Thanks, I appreciate the comment.
Nice work
Thank you.
Really liked the design choice with the addition of the shelf. And you had me dead laughing at “Westsiiiiide!” You sir have earned a new subscriber. I look forward to the next project.
Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. Your name is orioles fan , are you from Baltimore? I ask because I grew up there.
@@jascogoods Awesome! Almost, grew up in Gambrills. About 20 miles south.
I did about 3 years of contract work for a company down in Salisbury. Used to fly in/out of Baltimore every Monday/Friday. Never made it to any pro games though.
Great video, very mah-fist-ta-ma-kated lookin' table there!
😂 Thank brother, I just subscribed to your channel too. Looking forward to watching some of those cooking videos.
@@jascogoods Thats awesome thanks!
Love it Dope
Thank you.
Love it! I had a similar experience with those dowel hole marking pins and I remember saying nearly the exact same thing when it wouldn't line up on the dry fit. It did work out in the end haha
Thank you I appreciate it! all in all the pins actually worked a lot better than I expected. Were you happy with them? I was worried they weren't going to line up because the top felt like it kept moving on me when I was tapping it.
@@jascogoods I've only used them once and it was my first project. I'm going to put it on user error and try again before I decide if I like them or not.
Looks awesome! Sometimes when I use dowels like you did on the top, I like to use a different color wood, and then go all the way through leaving the dowel visible, then cut it flush. If you did that here and left them unstained it would give a cool contrast and add just a little bit more to the look of the table.
that is a really good idea. I really like the look when you can see the dowels when its done right. I could have left the top unstained and used a walnut dowel to match the base. Thanks brother.
Well done! If you don't point out the flaws to anyone else they won't look for them. One piece of advice I can offer you would be to use a separate small container to put your clear finish in. This will prevent you from contaminating the large can of finish with any particles coming off the project. Also you should not wipe the brush on the inside rim of the can. That leaves the drips to congeal there and later fall into the finish. If you are going to dip into the original container it is a good practice to slap the brush on the inside of the can wall to get rid of the excess on the brush. Ask any painter and they will show you this method. Keep building I look forward to your next project!!
Thank you brother, you are 100% right. Its funny you say that because I normally say that about using another container and show it in my videos but being in a hurry I just used the can. I guess I should practice what I preach! 🤣🤣🤣
Early: "Saw off the rounded edges so it doesn't look like construction material."
Later: "Round off the edges so it looks nice."
But I get ya.
Nice useful furniture there.
BTW-- since you asked the stain is called pro-VIN-shull
😂 There is a method to my madness!! If you look through the comments everyone has a different way of showing how to pronounce it but its pretty much the same. Thanks for the comment and the pronunciation. 😂
Flamed with a blowtorch, looks great with dressed pine
I haven't dabbled with the blowtorch yet. My shop is small and messy and I'm afraid of burning it down!! 😂😂😂 But I do want to try it out.
adding a skirt for the top of the table would help u hide the pocket holes and you would also be able to screw threw them to attach the top. Nice video!!
Thanks for the comment and the advice.
That looks really good I liked it a lot I am wanting to build a couple of tables myself so thanks for the tips I was thinking about doing four legs and tapering them and doing it that way but I liked yours better it was a smaller table and it will fit just right thank you brother
Canadian here, our version of states are called provinces, so we use this word all the time. "Pro-vin-chal" would be the easiest phonetic way to put it. Great job on the table!
Thank You, My wife is from Canada!! Someone in the comments said Provincial rhymes with official and it all made sense!!
I really like this, think i might make one out of maple to keep it cheap.
Thank you, I would like to see it in maple, if you do it please send me a pic!
I am new to woodworking. Just came across your channel. You crack me up! Great video!!! Subbed!
Thank you, I appreciate the sub and the comment.
I think it looks great. I only thing I would do differently, is modify the side boards to have separate feet.
Thank you. Thats a good Idea. What are you thinking? cut a V in the bottom?
Oh man, you are funny! First time here, subscribing! I laughed good and a lot! Thank you!
Thanks brother I appreciate the encouragement and the subscription!
Another great video, not a big fan of pine, but that size table looks great. Good job👍👍
Thanks brother, I need to find me a lumber yard that's close by so I can use some hard woods. I get most of my wood from big box stores and their hardwood is ridiculously priced!
cool
Thanks!
it turned out great! I had a 1x10 that I was finishing up some boxes with and it wasn't cupped at all in the store but 2 days later...the wood was possessed because it was smiling at me. it was almost unusable but with the power of persuasion and about 8 clamps on a 16" board it seem to cooperate lol. Im going to try to wrap the ends with plastic wrap and see if that helps next time.
Yea I'm out in Vegas where its really dry so this happens to me all the time. I'm meticulous when picking out wood and then I cut it and it bows anyways! Usually Its the 1 by material that gets me, I didn't expect the 2 by to go overnight.
😂 just found your channel! Man you make me laugh!! A brother from another mother 😂
Thanks Brother, I try to make it fun! 😂😂😂
I've made so many mistakes in
projects that only I can see, I don't
let it bother me any more.
My clients are happy and recommend
my service, that's good enough.
Yea my wife always says I'm too hard on myself. She likes everything I make even when there's a ton of mistakes!! I'm getting better at accepting them.
An over the arm of a chair or couch is awesome too.
I've seen those, they are awesome. I thought about making one of those first. I still might make one who knows!!
That matches my 1970s waterbed.
Do you still use a water bed? I haven't seen one since the 90s!!
@@jascogoods No, just kidding it just reminded me of all those 2x6 wood framed, dark brown stained waterbeds.
😂😂😂
9th grade is easy to get into, more difficult to get out off ;-)
🤣🤣🤣 dude your comment made me lol for real!!
Great project, great Vid, enjoyed, liked and now subscribed. 👍
The meatloaf got me 😅😅. Liked and subscribed
It got me too brother, but not in a good way!! 😂😂😂
Dryer than my wifes.... Meatloaf. I wasn't sure where that was going for a second 😅😅
The next video on my channel would have been my wife explaining that I had a terrible "accident" with the miter saw and would no longer be making videos! 😂😂😂
You asked for suggestions, so here are mine: The top would have been fine with two dowels per side instead of three. Also, you might want to go back and look at how many screws you used. I would say too many. Finally, Titebond 3 is mainly for outdoor use, so you could use Titebond 2 instead, though the price is about the same. I hope that helps. Keep up the good work though. You're fun to watch, and don't mind showing the issues with your build, which is very helpful to newcomers.
One question: Did you sticker your lumber and let it sit for at least three or four weeks before using it? That is definitely the way to go, though you may still have some issues with construction lumber.
Thank you so much for the helpful tips, they are appreciated. I did not let the lumber sit. I live in Vegas and get the lumber from a big box store. Typically odd sizes like this have been sitting on the shelves for weeks already and are already really dry because Vegas is really dry. I need to invest in a meter to be sure though.
You can fill cracks in from warping/cupping the same way you filled in the natural cracks in the grain. Or use whatever to fill in gaps. Just fill it in before you stain, and it's much less noticeable than gaps left unfilled. I prefer carpenters glue myself, but I've heard putty filler sticks are easy too. Easier yet, if you're painting instead of staining, just use regular old drywall spackling, sand, paint.
Thanks, that's a good idea. I was worried about filling it incase it kept moving and cracked out the filler. Do they make a filler that moves with it like caulking that you can stain?
Very nice man! New sub here. Keep it up - especially the comedy 😂
Thanks brother! I appreciate the encouragement.
For the edification of knuckleheads who do not understand rounded edge removal. These are removed to ensure tight lines with mating surfaces (for example see 3:30 time stamp). This facilitates adhesion when using glue, and alignment when using other joinery methods. In addition, tight joints look cleaner.
On finished pieces, edges are sometimes chamfered or rounded for handling or to prevent splintering.
😂😂😂 Thanks Brother, You explained that better than I could!!
