    Thank you! I had been looking for a night stand design to replace the Wal Mart special that's currently in use. I'm going to add a wireless charger embedded in the top and a spot for a swing arm lamp.

    Nicely done Shara....you definitely captured that 50-60's look in your night stands. I agree with your struggle of choosing a which side of the plywood to use....been there myself. Thanks for all the time and effort to put into your channel.

    Very nice Shara. The simple box in box reveal is a great touch. I like your "character" vs. "good" side comparison. At our old house we used the backside of prefinished flooring as a backsplash in our kitchen. The "character" knots and grain came out awesome with 6 coats of polyurethane. Thanks for another inspiring video.

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  3 роки тому +1

      The character side get a bad reputation but I love it! I bet that backsplash looked amazing!

  • @JayBergCustoms
    @JayBergCustoms 3 роки тому +8

    I am super impressed that you could pre-mount that drawer front and it line up properly. That would never happen for me lol. It's even more impressive inside that whole inset/overlap setup you had on this build. Great looking pieces!

    Great video & project I am a beginner to woodworking so I was wondering if you had some ideas on how to fix the legs if there not all cut just perfect

    • @WoodshopDiaries
      @WoodshopDiaries  3 роки тому

      My best advice is to just practice with a jig saw and trim where needed to get your legs cut out as close as possible. Then, lots of sanding. But, they don’t have to be PERFECT for this. As long as they are close and the same height, you likely won’t notice if one isn’t exactly the same as the other.
