So, This will be at least the 7th Shanty item I've built in my home in the past 6 months. Between the plans and the videos, you two are helping way more people than you can imagine. You ladies have my friends and family thinking I'm the man. People think I have WAY more skills than I do. Keep these designs coming.
I just finished number one. Number 2 is coming this weekend. This was surprisingly simple. Lots of pieces that made me nervous in terms of cuts and measurements, but if you cut true...so simple! Now, we have to decide what stain to use.
Awesome build ladies. Simple, clean and easy to follow. Love your shop, tools and the way you lay projects out. Even us guys that grew up learning woodworking in shop, scouts etc. are learning from you. 👍🏻
Wow, I have so much respect for people who can DIY from scratch! I just did a nightstand DIY on my channel but it was using wood crates from the craft store but there's something about seeing some bad ass ladies with power tools!!!
Just built 2 of these, made a slight change by adding a larger drawer in the bottom instead of it being open. Also building a Chic Dresser also with a slight change, it is 4 drawers with them being 36 inches wide which leaves the Queen bed the last to build so that the whole set matches. You forgot to mention that with the 3/4 inch hard wood that these get a little heavy. lol . Great work you ladies do and thanks for the free easy to follow plans.
Thanks ladies this build is exactly what I need! I have been searching for this type of nightstand for about a year now and either the stain is off, are ridiculously overpriced, made of poor quality, or not sleek enough for my clean line obsession 😊. Now I just need someone to build it for me 🤔😁
I’ve been looking for night stands and can’t find exactly what I want. You ladies have inspired me to try this project even though it has a drawer! 😁 nice work as always!
Can you please do a video over the student desk you did for your son's room? My boys love it and it would help so much to see a video over how its put together.
Hey girls! Awesome nightstand! Just curious why you attached the top with nails instead of attaching with pocket holes so you could hide it on the top surface? Another great video!
You can do that, but it's a bit of a squeeze getting the drill in there once everything is put together, and the nail holes didn't bother us! Hope that helps :-)
Love you guys! Thanks so much for doing what you do! Question, do you have any sound deadening panels in your shop there? If not, they would probably help a ton. On the walls and the ceiling of you don't have an acoustic ceiling. They are super easy to make and cool to decorate!
I have a question, what's the high of the two side pieces of wood where the drawer is going to sit on, since it's not been specified on the Drawings? Please thank,. By the great I love your videos and you guys ROCK!
something went wrong with my kregs clamp I cannot get it to clamp. I saw one of you adjust a screw. I tried that but still not clamping. I haven't used it very much. i wonder if they will take it back or tell me how to adjust it so it will clamp.
What kind of stapler and brad nailer are you using? Is it the 18 gauge brad nailer from Ryobi and the 18 gauge air strike cordless crown stapler from Ryobi?
love the video's i am curious though why you never use clamps while screwing in the pocket holes. I know with my luck stuff would shift if i didnt use them.
Thanks for sharing. I'm really in love with this nightstand and want to build our own! Is the overall width of the nightstand 32 inches? If we build two of it and put on the both side of a king bed, do you think it would be too wide? Thanks.
Hey! I double-checked the plans and it is there... It leaves a 7 3/4" space between the top board and the 2x2. It's step 2 on the plans... Hope this helps!
Maybe someone can answer this. But they say they use briarsmoke stain. I’ve recently used some and on the same type of wood and mine came out much darker. And I did a fast coat. On and right off. Maybe someone knows a little trick to get it that light?
Team Gamer Girl we are but we are still posting a new, free plan every week on our website! We wanted to give ourselves more freedom to do more in-depth plans that we couldn’t fit in a UA-cam video!
Girls, if I build these, can I sell them? Do you have an option where a person can get permission to be able to use your plans in order to make some extra retirement money?
Love the videos but the audio doesn’t sound as good as when you were in the garage. It sounds like you’re yelling and a lot of echoes. Again...LOVE you ladies and your videos❤️
Hi girls, just wanna tell you how much I love the idea and the technique that you girls have shown in this DIY. However, I think that the explanation can be improved a lot! I understand the build but your explanation made me confused. I guess step by step step diagram and measurement would help. I am so sorry but I turned the volume low and keep watching till finish. Write a script or practice explaining will help improve the quality of the videos. Anyway, great build!
Thank you for the free plans, this way a fairly poor guy can make his kids a suprise.
Hands down the best breakdown of a build I’ve seen yet.

Great job ladies. As always you make building furniture simple. Easy to learn!! Thanks.

Ladies loving the longer video keep it up x
Thank you Alan! We are noticing that overall from our viewers, so that's the plan! Luckily, we give our editor plenty of footage to work with haha ;-)
Amazing video!!! Thank you keep them coming...

@@shanty2chic totally makes sense!
Wowsa! Just looked at your website as well. Amazing
Just tuned in to find out how you got the rustic look - how did you get the rustic finish?
I like your work
This would look really cool with a concrete top
Nice work! What us the color stain you used on this? Like the one on the front presentation picture, thank you!
Love you guys! Thanks so much for doing what you do! Question, do you have any sound deadening panels in your shop there? If not, they would probably help a ton. On the walls and the ceiling of you don't have an acoustic ceiling. They are super easy to make and cool to decorate!
Thank you! We are still getting everything set up and finding the best solution... Thanks for the tips!
I love the channel, awesome builds. I was wondering..what stain did you guys use for this nightstand?? also the awesome bed??
Interesting video awesome Job
It would be great if you could do a matching dresser
Awesome video! Do y'all have a video for your Modern Farmhouse Cabinet?
Check our website! We have tons that can be modified!
I'm making this for my fish tank to sit on. I will post Instagram pics and tag you 2 Shanty Chic's in it..:)
Great job, I enjoy your videos. My husband says "those 2 girls don't need help". 🤪 Lol I'm learning! How about a craft cabinet?
Instead of pennies you can also use a deck of cards and use them as shims to get your equal spacing.
I love your videos! Thank you! What video editor do you use? And do you have a video showing how to make a table?
Do a matching dresser please.
i would love to see a matching dresser as well
I have a question, what's the high of the two side pieces of wood where the drawer is going to sit on, since it's not been specified on the Drawings? Please thank,. By the great I love your videos and you guys ROCK!
This is a FANTASTIC video!!!! I would love to see what you ladies could do with our template tool!
Emmy Braxtly
Beautiful! What kind of paint did you use on the bed?
Can y’all make a matching dresser as well? 😍
Here is the matching 6 drawer dresser! www.shanty-2-chic.com/2019/01/diy-modern-farmhouse-6-drawer-dresser.html
Shanty2Chic Thank you! 💗
Did yall finish the wood with polyurethane? Because that color looks awesome
something went wrong with my kregs clamp I cannot get it to clamp. I saw one of you adjust a screw. I tried that but still not clamping. I haven't used it very much. i wonder if they will take it back or tell me how to adjust it so it will clamp.
beautiful job!!
What kind of stapler and brad nailer are you using? Is it the 18 gauge brad nailer from Ryobi and the 18 gauge air strike cordless crown stapler from Ryobi?
On your plan, I do not see how far down the 2x2 is placed. Do you have the measurement? Just checking on the measurements?
Nice job...... can you tell me what is that stain name please
Briarsmoke from Varathane!
I would love to try this! Around how much would it cost me to buy the wood?
Beautiful workmen ship. What size are the table leg height?
I loved!!!!!
love the video's i am curious though why you never use clamps while screwing in the pocket holes. I know with my luck stuff would shift if i didnt use them.
and then 2 seconds after commenting...out comes the clamp!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm really in love with this nightstand and want to build our own! Is the overall width of the nightstand 32 inches? If we build two of it and put on the both side of a king bed, do you think it would be too wide? Thanks.
Do you post a list of supplies needed to complete the dresser?
How much did all of the materials cost?
Want to make 2 of these but also want them really old school. No Slides. How can I do the drawers without slides?
HI, love the build. I got the plans but can't seem to find the measurement that shows where the 2x2 goes. How far from the top should it be? Thanks!
Hey! I double-checked the plans and it is there... It leaves a 7 3/4" space between the top board and the 2x2. It's step 2 on the plans... Hope this helps!
Shoot... You mean on the side panels! I will add that now ;-)
9" updating plans now!
@@shanty2chic Thank You!

Good Job
Soy su fan desde México. Ojala subtitularan!
Looks great
Love watching your videos! What kind of drill bits do you use for the regular, non-Kreg Jig screws? Do they have a special name? Thank you!! 💟
Nevermind, I figured it out! 🤗
Are you guys doing videos every other Wednesday now?
Team Gamer Girl we are but we are still posting a new, free plan every week on our website! We wanted to give ourselves more freedom to do more in-depth plans that we couldn’t fit in a UA-cam video!
Oh okay makes sense! Love all your stuff!!
I wanna build something like this but no drawer! Any plans?
The materials list is just enough for one correct??
Is there a video for making that bed?
Do you use a 2x4 or bigger to make the 2x2 or a bunch at once??
Hey Tara! I usually buy a 2x6 and make 3 at one time. Hope that helps!
Love it 👍🏻
Thank you Samantha!!
Did you use treated or untreated wood for the bed?
Where are the plans? For dimensions etc. Cannot seem to find them ha!
The material is the top of your workbench?
We used formica on it... We just attached it to hardwood plywood... Hope that helps!
@@shanty2chic thank you
Are you in front of an audience or is it a recording?
Hello, what size drawer slides did you use? The website says there is 10in and 14in.
16 in
Girls, if I build these, can I sell them? Do you have an option where a person can get permission to be able to use your plans in order to make some extra retirement money?
What color stain did you use?
Could you please tell me how far down I need to attach the 2 X 2 on the side panels? I didn't see the measurement in the plans. Thank you.
9" updating plans now... Thanks!
Nice
Amazing stuff as always, have you ladies thought of getting microphones? You wouldn’t have to try to talk over everything!
We have them! We are still trying to perfect sound in our new space... Big change! Thanks for the tip :-)
Shanty2Chic no worries I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything! Can’t wait for the next video!
But one thing you have to understand for the DIY a lot of us don't have those big machines
11:32 18 inch brad nailer! Where do I get one of those!
😂🤣😂🤣
What kind of tabletop are y’all working on?
Is that painted??
MoziseCT it’s a piece of MDF that we put laminate on
Whats the name of that stain?
NVM found it below. Briarsmoke
Love the videos but the audio doesn’t sound as good as when you were in the garage. It sounds like you’re yelling and a lot of echoes. Again...LOVE you ladies and your videos❤️
Beth Giardina thank you! We are doing our best and very fortunate to have a studio to shoot in! Our families much appreciate it ❤️
Try to include more measurements. None for how big your drawer is or how far drill down to start and end your pocket screws.
Hi girls, just wanna tell you how much I love the idea and the technique that you girls have shown in this DIY. However, I think that the explanation can be improved a lot! I understand the build but your explanation made me confused. I guess step by step step diagram and measurement would help. I am so sorry but I turned the volume low and keep watching till finish. Write a script or practice explaining will help improve the quality of the videos. Anyway, great build!
Its a nice design but its awfully large for a bedside table I think O.O
Not flush but super flush
Exactly ;-)
I shouldn’t have bought that nightstand on amazon for $15
Great vid. Invest in some better audio - the echo in there is horrible on the ears of the viewer.
This build was going so well until you stapled the drawer. Yall own a table saw but dont rabbit or dovetail your drawers?
Bad echo in the room
Thanks Billy... We are still working on perfecting sound in the new space. Thanks for understanding!
