Andy -- I could spend the rest of my natural born days working at it and still never be able to do something as outstanding as this console. You are one seriously talented individual. But I DO know a bit about filmmaking, having spent 20+ years writing and producing television. Your videos are nothing short of magnificent. Inventive, creative, original, engaging. Restful. And thoughtful. Thanks for all your hard work -- on BOTH fronts!
Most UA-camrs of this kind would talk your ear off while your videos are Zen like and very calming to watch. No cacophony of banging, welding, and shouting, etc. Your skill/design level is over the top.
I'm a 60 yr old grandma who is enthralled with your dedication to good workmanship, both carpentry, and visually. I'm implementing the classic, but updated rotary Mr and Mrs Pesto Jarhead( Colonel and Mrs Mustard Jarhead in my case) for my herbs and spices in your most recent video. I will not be separating my happy couple, nor their offspring...and the moustache will not be wire wool. More little projects if you can, Please, and Thank you.😍
Whether it's the gift of teaching, or music, mercy, artistic ability, administration, or craftmanship and more, God gifts people in many ways. Andy, God has blessed you with the gift of craftmanship as well as the ability to see, design and build the finished product you've envisioned. [edit]: I'm looking forward to seeing what your gifts have for us in the days ahead.
I looked at the bookshelf and thought, "Just turn it sideways and stick some legs on it." Silly me! I absolutely love watching you transfer your creative vision to a finished piece! Your friends will be so excited when they see this gift! It will be their treasure.
If you ever put out a film making course, I'll be down for it! Your chanel is a hiden gem in furniture makeover. Really fun to watch the transformations as well as all the production you do during and after filming. TOP TIER CONTENT!
That tip is gold to me. I was just about to use a couple of Kallaxes to make a right-angled tv unit/storage shelf/side table and this will seriously simplify the job for me. I am not ambitious enough to attempt the likes of these exquisite doors, so I will just use the ikea baskets and add similar legs.
My grand father from my mother side had a lumberyard and my grand father from my father side use to make little furniture out of wood. I grew up playing on mountains of timber, hearing the sawmill 12 hours a day and tons on wood dust……I cherish those memories and seeing and hearing videos like these give me peace and joy. Thanks…..carry on.
I don't know what I could say that others already have - You are in a league of your own...from video and editing skills to furniture design that always goes to the next level. When I see you've posted a video, I always know I'm in for a treat. Love your channel and everything you create. ❤️
In case you didn't know, a little tidbit I picked up working in a paint shop, for home garage type painting, a trick is to keep the floor wet, it makes dust stick to it and not blow around, thus not end up blowing onto the paint. Also, I do love how you film these, they're relaxing to watch, and kinda indulges my weird ADHD brain somehow. :P
“Don’t think I’ll need this small piece of wood, so I’ll just chuck it,” said no woodworker ever! I thoroughly admire your creative upcycle-recycle-reuse-restore philosophy. And, how impeccably neat, tidy, and organized your work area is.
8:43 I used to have this issue with my gate latch. The changing temperature from winter and summer causes the frost heave and them not to align over 4 seasons. My solution was to mount the "male" end on a thin plywood plate and then reposition with screws on different areas of the plywood plate as needed. Usually in the spring. Some years I don't have to adjust it, but it's easy since the plywood plate has many areas in which to screw in new holes to match the latch.
Since I’ve discovered your channel, I’ve been binge watching all of your creations. You are a true talented craftsman and designer. Your videos are just mesmerising and relaxing to watch, beautifully edited and very instructives on so many levels for people like myself (an amateur), as I like to give a second life to pieces of furniture that others discarded in the rubbish. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Looking forward to other transformation videos!
WOW!!! I’m in absolute awe of your talents. Not only your talents to create wonderful, beautiful things, but also for your editing skills. You truly are in a league of your own Andy. I hope your friends loved their wedding gift 😊
I am so surprised that you only have 184,000 subscribers! Your hard work will pay off. Not only is your furniture beautiful but your filming and editing skills make a delightful video to watch! More people need to see this!
His video views far exceed his sub number, from 300K to 3M. His vids are being watched, just they are not subing -- probably he gets most views from people searching for furniture restore vids. Subject searches that lead to just viewing vids in the list without subing to the channels.
Andy my friend, I’m speechless!!!! This piece is simply stunning!!! You are such an incredible artist, woodworker and designer!! Your videos are top notch with amazing editing! High quality all around! Your love of nature is apparent and nicely showcased in all of your videos which I truly appreciate! The asmr aspect is there for me too!! Your videos relax me and allow me to feel a sense of calm. Thank you for doing what you do! You are a true master of your works and a man talented beyond his years.
Your friends should be very VERY happy with the wedding gift. If they don't want it, I'll get married & you can give it to me for a gift... I'd love it! You do such awesome work for such a young man. You must have been paying attention in shop class! Stay safe, happy & healthy! 👍
Wow Andy, another classic made by the 3-armed man (now we know your secret for those amazing skills). You need to create MADE BY ANDY or ANDY MADE wooden labels to put into your one off pieces. They are art my friend xx
Watching for the 2nd time. I cannot believe you got the flutes to line up, just wow. Also a comfort to know that even you can forget, or overlook something. I would have gone crazy trying to attach the hinged door onto the carcass, and still have wound up with crooked doors. And I have never seen those hole marker things. That gives me hope. It would have been great to show the doors open and close set to music. Probably a terrific pain to stage and edit that though. Even without your sense of humor, your vids are entertainment plus. Pretty sure your vids are the only ones I actually LOL'ed ever. Thanks. Hey maybe when you get a million subscribers you could shut down your day care center?
Hello! I recently found a video of yours in my suggestions. I watched it, and was so amazed that I binge watched ALL of your videos!! Your talents are many. Your woodworking skills, your creativity, your filmmaking, and your finished products have left me in total awe of you. Please know that I have subscribed to your channel, and I will watch every video you release from now on. I can't wait until the next one. You are AMAZING!!
I bought three of these IKEA shelves; one in fire engine red, and two in white. One white shelving unit I hung sideways, high on the wall. I didn’t have to paint them. The console that you created is stylish, functional, and unique. Kudos to you.
OMG! I love everything about your channel - your creativity, your craftsmanship, your editing style, your humor...and I love this piece so much!!! If I got this for a wedding gift, it would definitely be my favorite no matter what else I got. 🤍 The ad was the most entertaining one I've ever seen. LOL. You're just brilliant.
I thought so too. That NordVPN ad was very entertaining and I think he well explained about it. I usually skip built-in ads in any youtube videos but not this time
OMG The door sequencing 15:49 ! I absolutely absolutely freaking love!!!!! I’m so happy that they open too down bc personally I am SICK of nicking my shin or ankle on these low free swinging doors 😤😭🫶🏾♥️. They are the cabinet version of stepping on legos 😂 and I grew up with the big old bulky entertainment stands that my parents held onto for 40+ years. I have a scar wrapped around my ankle from a door popping off it’s creaky hinge, I unfortunately tripped on its rugged edges in the middle of the night as a child smh haha! Anyways, again I love this design! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us!
This is so beautiful!! I'm always amazed at the finished product! I have to say though... the most impressive part of this was the real time painting at 14:52 mark.
@@melodyneedham9051 Hi Melody, no, that was an impersonator and I've gone ahead and gotten rid of their comments. Sorry about that.. and thank you for the nice comment!
I was thinking the exact same thing. I know it wouldn't have been possible with this specific piece, but during the reveal I thought that it would have also looked awesome in a walnut finish. That's not to say I don't love how it came out, just that it reminded me so much of a well designed mid century piece. Fantastic work! EDIT: Missing letter, oops.
Great TV Console Andy. Your friend will love it. It looks beautiful. We got to see more of you today. You are a good looking fella and a very talented man. So proud of you 👍😊👍
Hi Andy, I am a new subsciber and now I am binging your episodes. I really wish I didn't live in Australia so I could buy one of your pieces of artwork! I am mesmerised by your abilities and talent! G'day from across the pond and keep saving those items of wood. 😍

*Great Job on the VPN Ad*
That's a great present you made. Keep happy and see you soon.
so funny ! only time i didn't skip the ad part XD
good job you turned a book shelf on its side and made doors that you have to open to use anything ....what a peace of ass
making beautiful furniture pieces as gifts for family and friends in their specific style is honestly really cool
🤠👍🏻

your videos are like small art films, the effort and direction, the editing it's so good🤯 I'm mesmerized
I am entranced as well! It’s all so good. Thanks for the tip on the screws and using the plastic inserts
with IKEA when remodeling pieces.
100%
And the little jokes (“Winter is coming.”) 😅😅
Right?! And that's BESIDES the EXCELLENT works of art in process being filmed!!
🙏🏻❤️

I need a 1 hour video of that soft opening clip at 15:45 😆 That part was so mesmerizing. Each door opening one after another 😭😭 Beautiful!
That part was absolutely brilliant!
Same!
Not sure I would have the patience to wait for opening on a daily basis

Amazing. The doors make this piece something no one else will ever have. What a special wedding gift. May it become a family heirloom.
It's so much more than a piece of furniture. Your cinematography is exemplary.

I’m not into modern but this is beautiful and I would love this in my home. Man you’re good. What a craftsman 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Opening all four doors towards the end of the video was just 👌🏻
Sawtable-chan also seemed pleased with your work 3:03
I don't think I've seen anything this good on here. This is some high end furniture you've created. Well done
The craftmanship already is amazing and worth the watch, but the small memes sprinkled in really made me chuckle, 10/10
Those doors are so neat! What a great idea. Really love that they open downward
Your creativity knows no bounds! Also I could watch the doors open and close on a loop for hours!
Dude got extra fancy with the camera work for this vid. I love it!
Every time you post a new video I have a new favourite furniture piece
Great work! And a warm gift for a couple friend. The unit is so classy. This is one the best lack hacks I've ever seen. Thanks for your efforts.

You never cease to amaze me. Just brilliant craftsmanship.
I love how you capture the little things in woodworking like how difficult it is to fill something verticallly with Bondo
You're perfectionist through and through.
Man after my own heart.
Kudos!
Your friends are so lucky! I’m sure they loved it ♥️
Your precision and attention to detail is admirable - this piece will last for years - well done.
Fun fact you'll get these shelfs also in white.
Never the less it's a good project. I like the doors.
Extraordinary. Just love the doors and the soft close system is genius. That's one very lucky friend you have there.
wow!!! i didn't quite realize how the final result would work and the reveal had me so shocked!!! this is incredible
So beautiful, I gasped when you opened the doors... your friends are lucky to have you as a friend, in more ways than one. Keep warm.
