I honestly love watching you dive into something you're passionate about. It's truly inspiring what courage can not only achieve, but how much joy can be found when you step into the unknown.
Loving this new channel direction man! I really enjoy these videos, they encourage me to take a leap with some wood working and give me confidence to try little projects. Keep it up brother I Also love your style with the lighting and editing for the videos! Its unique from a lot of other content. It feels fresh and looks amazing.
Common board is pine. Next time use a sanding sealer first then stain with the color of your choice and then you can use a gel stain on top of that to even out the tone. All the best
How do you get them put together so they look like a perfect hexagon? I just put 6 shelves together and they are all a bit wonky😖I took one apart and made sure all the pieces were the exact same length and I still didn’t get it together right. Very frustrating after wasting all this time!
Nice end results! Two things, 1 you should do a video about all the things you can do with a speed square. 2 use a rag (like a painter's rag) for stain it will pretty much kill brush strokes and help even the color
I spent so much $ on those Claymark expensive pine boards and each time the stain would come out like crap! I was going crazy not knowing what I was doing wrong. Definitely buy the cheaper stuff, it's less dense so it allows the stain to penetrate better. Wish I saw this video months ago.
Lol, I'm no expert by any means. But I would recommend saving and buying scrap peices of wood so you can test out different finishes. But everyone likes different finishes and I'd say experiment around until you find something you like and works well. But also great job on the shelves. I would be cautious about using glue alone when gluing end grain, long grain will give you the strongest bond, but when doing end grain I would probably consider using pin nails as well
earthteacherbk did you let it soak in for a few minutes before you wiped it away? I use it and it doesn’t normally turn out blotchy. It also might be the type of wood or the type of conditioners you use. Hope that helps!
I think the only difference between "common board" and "pine" is that the lumber you are calling "common board" is probably yellow pine, while the "pine" board is white pine. Pine is OK, but if you want really nice looking projects, you really need to venture into some hardwoods like oak or walnut. I know the nice hardwoods are a lot pricier, but once you've got enough experience to be comfortable and confident with making accurate measurement and cuts so you know you're less likely to ruin an expensive board, you'll be ready to try some more expensive woods.
Using a stop block will help with having an exact and consistent cuts. Good job.

Great Job! After you did the painting I was kinda sad to look at the outcome. But when I saw it installed, it look so stunning!!
Nice! Very comprehensive step by step guide to build that hexagon which is awesome!

They turned out really great. You’re doing a good job

Nicely done 👍
try using a stop block at miter saw n all ur bords should b exactly the same , nice build
How did you hang the shelves? Were the 1.5" nails sufficient?
I loved this video. I am a novice word worker as well, thanks for documenting your journey!

Love it man! Mr. build it got me hooked and I’ve been making a ton of stuff lately 😂
Awesome job! Keep up the good work!
Good video, but I’m confused. pine way easier to stain if you do it right. Plus how did you affix it to your wall? Happy videoing!
This is a FANTASTIC diy video! Exactly what I needed, thank you so much! 2:36
Wipe off all thw excess glue with a wet shop towel. Your stain will look better than if you use a dry towl. They look good amd keep it up..
Nice end results!

Loved the build and the strength test. Great work Jess!! 1:47
When I use pine, I use a pre stain before staining it.
Great video brother, I suggest using stop blocks to get every board the exact same size :)
How tall is the shelf? Not each individual piece but the fully put together shelf
good stuff man, keep it up
One thing u could do if install a roll of butchers paper on the end of ur workbench and work off that and rip it off the roll when ur done
I'm not into making wood. After watching the video man I'm hook now. Peace and love and real nice job family...
Hey bud when your gluing up get a wet rag and whipe off the glue dont have to worry about sanding it then makes it super easy when staining :)
With pine I typically go with boiled linseed oil and paste wax

I'm in the same boat brother 🤙
Instead of marking each piece, set up a stop, much easier and quicker
If you don’t want it being blotchy you should use wood conditioner before hand. Pine would’ve worked well if it was conditioned beforehand
Not for me. I wood conditioned so many projects and still got the same results of blotchiness.

common board is normally pine or spruce
I thought common board is pine?? Beautiful shelves!
How many degrees should we cut the board

Well I don’t have that fancy tools so I just need to pay $70 on Etsy to buy one lol
