I like the way you keep your language simple and to the point but still come across as likeable and sincere. Thank you for all the videos. You've given me the final push to start doing this myself.
Great book case. When my daughter started nursing school I built her one very similar. As an extra surprise in put a Bluetooth module and speakers under the top and a wireless charger. It was over kill but she loved it. My Dad taught me to build. At the end of every project we built we would sign and date it on the back or bottom. I still do that when I build for family. It’s comforting to move a piece of furniture and see my Dads and my name on it. It’s the connection. Sorry for the long comment but it reminded me of my Dad and I in the shop. Thanks for the reminder
Enjoy your videos. My wife retired our antique kitchen table to her family. So I need to build a trestle table (48 inches table height. Hoping to convince her in having a 4x4 granite top.
To make breaking down sheet goods easier get a 4x8 sheet of 2 inch foam board insulation. Set your sheet goods on the foam board. Set your saw to just go through your material and you can use the insulation for a long long time. I also use saw horses with 2x4 holders and 2 8 foot 2x4’s to lay the insulation on. Works perfectly with my track saw but your rip cut will do the same thing. Hope this helps. Thank you for the time you put in to the content you provide. Well done!!!
At about 24:00 into the video you mentioned how even that little piece of luan would add a lot of strength to the piece. That is SO VERY TRUE. That backing will add a great deal of rigidity to the piece which will prevent the rocking you quickly end up with when buying the cheap particle board type furniture from big box stores. Those cheaper pieces of furniture have a thin cardboard type backing material which offers no rigidity and strength, thus the pieces start to rock side to side quickly and a short time later the piece starts to fall apart. Even the construction grade lumber used in some woodworking shops will last decades if people come back occasionally and apply a fresh wax coat as you show for protection.
Hey Matt! I've been woodworking throughout my life, but never really got serious about it until now. My wife and I are getting a business started, and have found your videos so INCREDIBLY helpful. We enjoy your videos and appreciate your attention to detail so we don't miss a thing. Will be keeping an eye out for more content and ideas. Thanks for everything.
Very nice! I really like the ship lap accents and think that the sun bleached stain along with the distressed biscuit white pulled the whole project together nicely.
I've got the Kregg 3, the handy thing about that one is that if your plans change half way through construction it's easy to use in a tight spot of a partially built piece if furniture. Lovely TV unit.
Cool TV stand, only one thing I will add. If you rabbit the back so the Luan back panel sits on flush it makes your whole cabinet completely square and strong. Just the way I learned anyway, just FYI
I know this an old video, but I noticed you had a problem with the 3/8 round over detail. You could use a 3/8 cove bit to make a mirror image cove on the end grain to match the round over pattern. It works just as good as a matched bit set. Just in case you run into that problem again. BTW, I enjoy watching your channel. God Bless.
I appreciate your channel and all that you do to help encourage others to start woodworking and to follow their dreams! Thanks for all the great content Matt!
Great project and work as usual. I have noticed that between this project and the DIY TV Stand, the shelf construction is a little different. On this project the horizontal shelves are all solid pieces and the vertical pieces are cut for each shelf. On the DIY TV Stand, the vertical pieces were solid and horizontal shelves were cut. Do you think it makes a lot of structural difference or difference in strength? I really like both projects. Ever thought about doing a barn door style of cabinet/stand like these? Thanks for your content and sharing your talent.
I love this. I've spent all day looking for a planked rustic cabinet and couldn't find one. Opened up my UA-cam your video was recommended. Can't wait to build this it's going to be a coffee snack bar @ 44" tall. If all goes well I will adjust plans to make a kitchen cabinet as well. Looking forward to your round table I plan to build one as well . I will wait to see what you and your wife come up with.
great job. When you have a small crack, add some glue and then sand. The dust will mix in with the glue and you will never see the gap. Keep up the great video's
I love that you leave in those "uh ohs". From my very limited experience, I come across these moments all the time. It's nice to see that you do too, and how you deal with it on the fly. Love the vids. I'm gonna use some of ur vids as plans to start making some of my first projects.
Thank you so much. He’s been waiting patiently so he can finish it. I’m very impressed how he followed your instructions exact. Thanks again for answering Bob’s question. God Bless you!🙏❤️
Love it. I am actually half way done building another one for the wife with a live edge top. Not sure if she wants all open like the last one or if she wants it enclosed. Time will tell lol
I'm not sure how this would look, but try using a 90 degree V bit on the side panels so it looks like shiplap. Less material used and possibly quicker, or run the side panel on the table saw with the blade up high enough to simulate ship lap. Great project!!
@@731Woodworks that's a good build sir, and when did you sneak that inch and a half on the bottom of that shelf I didn't see that? but it was good you did it, shelf integrity. Oops I guess I should have watched it all the way to the end before replying 👍
New subscriber here. I just want to say thank you for sharing these videos. I appreciate the way you teach, and your humor. Hopefully I'll get some of these tools and start building beautiful furniture like you do here for my home. Thanks again!
New subscriber here. This is the first video that I've watched from your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this online, I can't wait to watch the rest.
I have recently built this tv stand to your specs, almost. My wife loves it as it matches the coffee table, and end tables I did two months ago. I have throughly enjoyed watching your videos. Very informative and great step by step instructions. PS- I have been a Kreg jig lover for years. Happy holidays I’ll keep watching
Nice! I suggest you leave a BOM list, and specifications on dimension... I started the build and wasted some 2X4 because everything was 6ft... rookie mistake... I made the top the same size of shelf... now I’m stuck making a decision to counter sink in some bolts to hold the top.
You said msrp for the coffee bar would be 1-1.25k, what would the tv stand go for around 750 I would guess. Package deal both for 1900. To date all I have done are distressed end tables and the wife wanted the tops epoxy' d after staining. I plan to pour tomorrow and then start the hall tree after my weekend shift. Dog kennel will follow in 2 weeks I hope. These 3 items should give some good pics for marketplace. Also, where is the new shop dog at? Keep up the good work.
I just got done doing my bathroom with that style of shiplap the wife's loves it. I'm going to give thus stand a try once I'm done with current project. Keep at it man.
Love your video! Lots of good advise. Would love to see your work with a stable video and slower movement when your talking/describing your work. But otherwise great job!
Hey Matt! Love love love your videos! I am just getting started with my farmhouse niche and starting out on my woodworking business. Wish we lived closer so I could pick your brain, but what would something like this sell for in your area?
Hey! Do you have any tips on finishing plywood? I am using poplar plywood in my campervan build. Is primer necessary? I am looking for a finish that provides good protection against moisture, but also good protection overall. I guess the best solution is to paint it?
@@731Woodworks Great. I didnt think so either just by looking at it. I like farmhouse but the cross cuts are getting a little out of hand. Haha. Thanks. I just bought the plywood and am about to get started.
I wonder if you had thought (if you mad another one) If you were to extend the sides or bring the back in a couple of inches then a round cut-out cable way could be installed. With a void of a couple of inches the top and side could hide the "ball of cables" we all have behind the TV. I was just looking behind my TV and see all of the different wires have back there, when I build one of these (who knows when) I think I am going to do that.
If your Walmart special clamps snap like mine (the fixed end is the week point) small scraps of hard wood make a great replacement just a little drilling and chiseling needed
I like the way you keep your language simple and to the point but still come across as likeable and sincere.

I bet it looks great! Thank you.

Great job Matt it turned out awesome!
Thank you
Beautiful job
Thank you! 😊
Thanks… using this to build my own!
Thoroughly enjoyable video and your work is excellent. The pace for me as a beginner is great. Much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful paint there!
Well done! Thanks for the share and I will be using this idea in the very near future.

Nice! Send me a pic when it’s done if you don’t mind. Would love to see it.
Oooo i wonder if you have done the sides of the shelf w a herringbond pattern that would be cool!!
I'm not sure how this would look, but try using a 90 degree V bit on the side panels so it looks like shiplap. Less material used and possibly quicker, or run the side panel on the table saw with the blade up high enough to simulate ship lap. Great project!!
Thanks for the tip. I’ve seen that used on projects and it looks great.
I was going to suggest the same thing, especially if you are wanting to stain the project, all wood would be the same.
True
nice work thanks all your hard work
Much appreciated
I'm going to tackle this project today!
👊🏻 let me know how it turns out
Great job!!
Wonderful piece please give a newbie some info on tools and recommend what brand and size of a quality table saw to upgrade to.
Ya'll do beautiful work and I love the way 731 show luv to Mrs 0731.
Thank you
That came out nice, my Wife wants an entertainment center too, I like the way it was distressed. thanks for sharing. Chuck

Thanks you. Thanksfor watching!
Very well done. This looks very sturdy. I wish I saw this before I went out and bought a TV Stand. Thanks for sharing this project.
Thank you! Now you know you can build your own furniture next time!
That's a great build looks sweet. I would lille to build a corner entertainment center so I'm trying to figure out the steps for doing one
Thanks. That will be a neat project
I like that stain! Looks good.
Thank you sir! I appreciate that.
I’m loving your videos.🤷♂️😉

So methodical work sir!
Thank you

You can get more grain contrast to show through that stain on your top of you lightly burn the surface with a torch prior to staining.
Thanks
So funny..we have that exact metal tree thing on the wall you have. From Hobby Lobby!!!

We actually bought ours at Mardel's, which is owned by the same company.

Looks good
Thank you!
I use the same saw horse benches as a workbench. We both need a real workbench!
Love the build- especially the shiplap look. Would it be a big deal to add sliding barn door hardware on the front?
I don't think it would be too hard
@@731Woodworks Great. I didnt think so either just by looking at it. I like farmhouse but the cross cuts are getting a little out of hand. Haha. Thanks. I just bought the plywood and am about to get started.
Good luck
I wonder if you had thought (if you mad another one) If you were to extend the sides or bring the back in a couple of inches then a round cut-out cable way could be installed. With a void of a couple of inches the top and side could hide the "ball of cables" we all have behind the TV. I was just looking behind my TV and see all of the different wires have back there, when I build one of these (who knows when) I think I am going to do that.

If your Walmart special clamps snap like mine (the fixed end is the week point) small scraps of hard wood make a great replacement just a little drilling and chiseling needed
Nice

is biscuit white the color you chose to do the majority of your house in? Just curious as its the color you use the most. Looks great!
