    Great ideas, but especially the wooden bowl coffee table. I saw a similar one in a furniture store and was very sorry to find it way outside my current budget. But I’ve just priced the bowls and plywood and found the cost is going to be very reasonable. I’m going to buy the plywood that has one outer side in a very good grade of timber that will look good when finished. I don’t have the tools to cut the top myself, so I will draw the outline I want, then take it round to the local Men’s Shed and one of the guys there will do it for a modest donation. (For anyone who doesn’t know about Men’s Shed, it is a volunteer organization or club for guys, mainly retired, who either know how to use tools or want to learn. Guys get together in their workshop/clubhouse, play with the tools, teach each other, make useful things like Christmas toys for needy kids, etc and do jobs for people like me in exchange for the donations that fund the whole operation. They also talk about stuff they can’t comfortably talk to anyone else about. Here in Australia it is considered to be just about the best mental health resource there is for retired guys.)

      That sounds like a wonderful outlet for men! Women seem to be a bit better at creating and getting out and going to groups where they can find friends or just enjoy the company of others. And because they show the interest, there are more publicly funded programs for women than men. And there's the issue in the US that it's somehow permissible to have women-only spaces, but not men-only spaces. This sounds like the sort of thing that would attract a lot of older, retired men, but also some younger guys as well. And I love the idea that they accept some woodworking jobs or projects for a donation!
      I Googled and it looks like the idea has begun to take root in the US with a few locations. I hope it spreads!

    The one thing about your projects is, you complete your vision, no matter how long it takes. Some of them can take several days to complete, but you push through, not giving up any of the detailed work needed. That takes an amazing amount of perseverance and dedication to your craft!! When I think about the tile in your kitchen, or the striped painting technique in your breakfast room.....the amount of patience needed is mind blowing!! I loved every one of the projects today. I can't begin to pick a favorite!!

    What a great idea to use real gloves that can be reused for a long time for staining. An old pair of leather gloves from the thrift store, rub Dubbin into them to seal and then GO! No more plastic waste! Respect.

  • @Lucinda_Jackson
    @Lucinda_Jackson Місяць тому +2

    Drew, you are a master of DIY projects that are worthy of house space!
    My favorites are: the Pole-wrapped Billy Bookcase, the Fluted Bar Cabinet, the Plaid Accent Rug, and the Bamboo Bowl Pendant Light. Love them all !!
    I also think the furry chair (it was untitled) would be cute in a young or teen girl's room. I'm wondering if the faux shearling could be dyed a fun color to match a room or to make an accent... It would be worth a try. If not, a trip to a large fabric store could probably yield cute, upholstery grade fuzzy or spiky faux fur in colors. I think Pottery Barn used to carry a desk chair covered in the spiky kind of fur in bright colors in their Teen collection for inspo. They still might or Google will probably bring up a pic. Seriously considering this for my granddaughter!
    Also considering for my granddaughter, the Fabric-wrapped frames. I think they'd be cute in a young girl's room in pretty, tiny floral or ditzy prints in pastels. In an older girl's or teen girl's room, they might be cute in brighter, bigger florals for a throwback to the 70s with the furry chair in a fun color. Cute for boy's room in menswear plaids or pinstripes suiting, oxford cloth, or for younger boys, small prints like dinos, rockets, cars, sailboats, etc would be adorable.
    Lastly, I like the IDEA of the coffee table and thought the legs were cute. But that top...nope! I'd definitely need a furniture grade plywood and have it cut by a pro... I can actually even see it with a MCM treatment of white or creamy beige Formica application (relatively easy to do) for the right room. And that would be inexpensive with a mid-grade plywood.
    Thanks for gathering these all together in one video!

    Project #2 dowels on wood cabinet…I would have glued and nailed down the dowels (wood trim strips)…good project!
    The lamp/coffee pot lamp: they have wireless light bulbs now.
    The coffee table is nice.. wouldn’t a piece of glass over the top make it more elegant .. of course! ❤
    The Billy bookcase is brilliant …
    Good ideas!!!

    If I was in need of a rug, would definitely do the plaid hack. My all-time fave afghan to crochet involved creating a mesh grid and then weaving yarns to create the plaid. Fun to do different types of plaid, color combos, with each. Also knit plaid neck warmers. Love me some plaid! Enjoy your Holidays. 😊

I have 2 bookcases (not Billy brand) like this but I also need to hide away clutters in addition to displaying my art pieces. Thank you if you have any inspiration to this.
