It's like I'm watching Norm from This Old House. "Draaa"
I really thought the legs and sides were metal at the very start of the video. Great looking piece.
Hahah! Not a bad person to be compared too. I’m glad I fooled you! That was the idea!
You are super talented! Love the number of jigs used 😁
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
I play a drinking game when I watch your videos, called “then I made a jig”🤣 🍻. They are always so well done and thoughtful. Love the POPLAR.
Hahahaha! Must have felt good after 😂 thanks!
@@3x3CustomTamar If he drinks every time you make a jig in the video there is no way he makes it to the end of the video... lol
Every time you measure you introduce the chance of error in the reading or marking. Always make a jig for any repeated measurements.
If she makes a liquor cabinet, lets face it, you're screwed! ...But what a way to go! :D
take a sip every time she says "draah" kid
Fast cap! Got the same one. Love it
It’s the best
Uma boa aula e com um arsenal de ferramentas, muito bom.
I think I’m supposed to say thank you to that. Ha
LOL It took me until about 11 minutes in before I realized you were saying "drawer box" when I kept hearing "draw box". Love the accent! :D
Hahaha! Sorry about that! I don’t know why my Long Island accent only comes out with certain words. 😂
@@3x3CustomTamar Do not apologize! It made me listen all that more intently.
WOW sooooooo, soo, so suuuuuuper job 😍❤️💋💋👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
That dark stain is awesome. I honestly thought the frame was steel in the intro. When you listed all the jointery and such for the project, I was sitting there thinking "and metal work. Why didn't she mention the metal work?" Oh, it's not metal, that's why :) They look great!
Hahahah ! Nice! So happy I fooled you. I do hope to lear metalworking one day though!
Amazballs!
Thanks!
I want one.
👍
Fun build Tamar! You need to come out to the International Makers Station to shoot a video with Shaun and I.
Thanks so much! That would be awesome! Would love to learn some joinery tricks from you
A tip: you can watch series on KaldroStream. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Cash Alonzo Yup, have been using kaldroStream for years myself :D
@Cash Alonzo Definitely, been using Kaldrostream for since november myself :)
Threaded bolt trick: If you need to shorten a bolt, screw on the nut before cutting the bolt to correct size. If the bolt threads are damaged or mis aligned by cutting through the threads, removing the nut after cutting will realign the threads. This trick also works when filling or grinding a bolt end smooth after shortening the bolt length. Bonus tip: Use thread locker on all bolts where the bolted object vibrates. Use blue thread locker on occasionally removed bolts, use red thread locker on bolts you will infrequently remove.
Came to the comments to make this suggestion. What a wonderful build. I wish I could do work this nice. Here is to learning from more skilled folks. Thanks for the video!
Great tip! I always start with a mark then I either get it too short the first time or too long then when I go to shorten it I get it too short after all.
The threadlock should also take the SIZE of the fastener into account. Using blue on small/very small fasteners is a recipe for heartache. Use purple. Yes, it exists, and it is weaker than blue. You want to booger-up that #6 pan head Philips machine screw? Use blue, come back in 3 months, and see how much damage you do.
The way you captured the top and shelf in the frame is genius. Definitely gonna steal that technique. AMAZING project, Tamar. Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone! -Davis
Thanks so much Davis! I was originally going to just attach it with dowels then a dream I had made me switch it up! Haha!
These look so amazing! I love the attention to detail. 😍
Thanks so much Sam! I take too much time obsessing over the details. Ha
A mother and woman working in a Garage im so jealous..!!!😭😭👏👏
Anyone else thinking of all the cool stuff they’re going to build when they’re old
Wow great build! you show very good how you did it an this is a wel explained video! This was an informative video! thanks
So glad you found it informative! Thanks!
@@3x3CustomTamar It was for sure! you can be proud of yourself! Well done! i'm a big fan of your videos!
Christofix - DIY Projects that means a lot! Thanks so much!
Outstanding!
Thanks!
Woodworking is a about having a combination of ability, creativity and problem solving skills. Tamar, you have all of these in spades. Another nice job and again, you are the perfect teacher.
So awesome to hear. Thanks!!
Nice Job. Love all the different joinery you used to make it all come together beautifully. And of course when you say Draaaa !!!
Hahaha! Thanks! I should put a draw counter at the bottom next time 😂
3x3Custom - Tamar Yes!
Trinity Too yup. It’s a thing where I’m from....
Tip: when you need to cut off a bolt, thread the nut on past where you want to cut it,. Then grind or sand the bolt enough to clean it up. When you take the nut off it reforms the threads and it's no problem putting it back on again. OH Yeah, Get a biscuit cutter, Dewalt or Porter Cable. Saves a lot of time, and the biscuits should be a tight fit. Great Videos, Love the accent!
I really thought the frame was made out of metal.
Great project, Tamar! And you included a lot of great tips and tricks in the video. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much! So glad you liked it!
Wood working in three sentences: "I made a template", "I made a jig", "I made a mistake" ;) I really, really like your work. I am a beginning woodworking hobbyist and just trying to wrap my head around all different techniques. You make things look easy.
Ha! Is like to add “I figured out a way to fix that mistake” ha
"Draws" =)
Ha yup
Great build. I'm a pretty handy guy, but before I stumbled onto your channel, it's doubtful I would have ever tried some of these tasks. Your open & humble style and admitted failures has caused me to want to jump into this type of wood working again because I feel like I might be able to do it too. Thank you for all your effort.
That’s so awesome to hear. Best thing I did was get into this hobby.
nice this turned out awesome.
that space in the back of the drawer could totally be a secret compartment - this is an idea i will be implementing in my future works.
Thanks! I thought the same thing 😉
Great build!
Thanks so much! Had to make a faux metal base bc you didn’t teach me how to weld yet! Ha!
talking about night.. lets go to sleep guys 😴
Gorgeous wood.Drow is fine with me.Here in the south,it takes 30 minutes to say dog.Daaaaawwwggg.Lol
Ha. Thanks!
Beautiful design! I love how many homemade tools and jigs you use too.
Thanks so much! It’s fun to figure it all out.
My wife has never even made me a sandwich
Good for her. Ha
Also this time .... great job.
Best regards from Frankfurt / Germany
Tom
Thanks so much Tom!!
You have gotten so good at this woodworking. Another beautifully crafted piece of furniture. Well done Tamar
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
Little tip for cutting threaded items with a saw or grinder: Thread your nuts on, make the cut, remove the nuts. On the way off they do a good job of easily cleaning up your threads to put the nuts back on. saves a lot of time trying to clean the cut end to get nuts back on.
I love the look of the clean black lines running through the piece. It really frames the whole thing nicely.
Thanks so much! It really draws your attention to the natural beauty of the elm ☺️
This is a really sharp looking night stand. Great job! Best, @HoneyOnWales
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
A dovetail cutter!?! I’m so impressed by your work. I’ve purchased your multi-functioning sled…I really need to make that for future projects….but I see I have to make that dovetail jig TOO…
Cool video, thanks. My only question is why don't you drill into the end grain on your press? It's the only way I like to do it, I feel like the bit drifts less.
Bc it’s not tall enough
@@3x3CustomTamar lol, I missed the simple thing. Thanks!
Love all these jigs and templates you have! for the trimmer and router, definately stealing some of these ideas.
That piano hinge jig for the trimmer is sick!
That’s one of my favorite jigs
Well hello, on metal looking oh yeah it worked as during your opening chat I thought far too much metal (good) and nearly left as metal no real interest for me (bad) so you pay ya money and makes ya choice!!
Lovely table, beautiful video with great narration.

Hearing you say Poplar so often made me think. I wonder what it would be like here in Australia if the Forestry Department decided to plant Poplars instead of Radiata pine. I'd prefer Freely available hardwood than softwood but maybe Radiata has a longer "in use" life due to it's resin content.......... It just made me think.
You are so skilled. Love this. If only you are close, I would like to order.
A multi functional wireless/wired table charger, bluetooth function...
Really amazing project, I like that you used dowels & jigs, all your videos r brilliant
Thanks so much! I love dowel joinery. Easy and affective!
Gorgeous project, yet again.
Also: I love seeing your jigs being used. There's a bit of vicarious joy in it :)
Thanks so much! I love jigs. Ha
You're incredible, Tamar. I love your work!
Thanks Jen!
you deserve all my respect, because you are a great woodworker, but you waste a lot of material, (glue, wood, etc). The american people have all machinery and tolls, for all, even for minimal details, that can do a great piece, but the people whose no have more than their hands make a great job and a wonderful art..whatever I subscribe on your space, cus I like you finished work, thank you for bring us !!
Those look awesome. You’re the first person my two year old daughter will sit and watch so hopefully she’ll be inspired when she’s a little bigger. Thanks.
That just made my day. Thanks so much!!
A nice looking project. One question, is it a regional thing to call a drawer a draw?
Thanks! Ha! Yep.
Looks great!! Gave me some ideas for an ottoman I am wanting to build.
Thanks! Awesome!!
Just for future reference for wireless charging... The charging coil in most of those little QI chargers is actually fairly deep (proportionally speaking) into the plastic charger unit. That’s not a problem, of course, until the top of a table also has to sit there between the coil and your device. So what tends to improve both the range (through a case) and the charging speed (since the closer you get to the coil, the more power flows to your phone), is to unscrew (or cut open) the plastic case and hot-glue the coil to the bottom of the tabletop. You can also use glass or mirror holders (like to attach a mirror to a wall or glass to the inside of a cabinet door) to hold the coil in place if you want it to be removable. The coil can get a little weird if you encase it in glue or epoxy so I’d suggest only attaching it by its ends rather than gluing directly onto the charging surface - it’ll still work but you’ll get some heat and downgraded charging performance if it’s covered. Hope that’s useful for your next charging project!
wireless chargers use induction to power the circuit inside the phone, so depending on the distance from the magnetic field the resulting power output of them may drastically change. Even in the best-case scenario, they are not going to be as fast or efficient as the regular plugin ones, and you just putt wood as an extra hampering layer on top...
Looks cool, though. Not gonna argue that.
This looks great, but I was hoping you'd show more than just a front still shot with the bottom cut off in the finished video. Would've been nice to see some angles going around it and maybe some closeups of the black frame and drawer details.
I really like this project. Thanks for sharing. Sub'd
Awesome! So glad you liked it
Woow I did not know that such a router bit exists :) Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Curious why you mention room for expansion and contracting because of seasons when they are in a climate controlled setting? If it overkill?
The next time you make a top with wireless charging you should engrave/emboss your 3x3 logo where the charging spot it - this will give a mark to know where to lay the phone and put your mark on the piece.
Really good project... But those wireless chargers get hot and they need air.. If you buy original wireless charger they have a fan underneath..the cheap don't they get hot
QUE BELLEZA DE TRABAJO, TECNICA, ORDEN, PROCESO, LIMPIEZA, UN 10, PERFECTO.
Impressive but the amount of hard work you're putting in is disproportionate to the end result you're getting. It's a very simple and ordinary table design and no one is going to be blown away when they look at it. Working hard is great but all that hard work is better put towards a more stylish and impressive table design.
You are beautiful and your work is beautiful .. My love for you, my lady
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Looks great. That black paint!
Thanks so much!!! I love th contrast too
makes me appreciate IKEA!
I’m trying to decide if the high speed presentation is appealing or exhausting........great work though.
Ha. Thanks
3x3Custom - Tamar ha ha
old vid but wanted ot just say anyway, with the wallet problem, if it works without wood in the way you could just cout out a rectangle above the charger, might ruin the point of it being hidden but it would make placing the phone alot easier since it has a rectangle to sit in, if u wanted it to be flat after taking the phone off u could have a plug to plug it up or something
Using the poplar worked. It fooled me, at the beginning of the video I actually thought you used wrought iron. Great work!
Awesome!
Another great project! I'm sure you know this better than we do, but your projects continue to show your evolution as a great woodworker. Congratulations!
Thanks so much! This woodworking journey is really fun ☺️
Always enjoy watching your videos(and I almost always learn something too.) cheers...rr normandy
Awesome! So glad you learned something! Thanks!
awesome awesome awesome i really enjoyed this and the end result was fantastic
Thanks so Much! I really appreciate that!
Nice to see how you make adhoc jigs when you need them
It’s always fun to figure this stuff out on the fly
Opening shot I thought it was metal frame for sure! Nice job...subbed!
Awesome. Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos, particularly how you explain your projects. Where did you get your bench hold-downs? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate he feedback! They’re just hold fasts from amazon
Really nice design. Finished product looks great too. Good job of explaining how to make it.
Thanks so much! This was def fun to figure out
That qualifies as fine furniture design! You are a natural talent. Those tables could hold their own in any fine furniture store. Thanks Tamar!
Thanks so much mark! I love seeing me designs come to life ☺️
Try speaking a little slower.....
You can slow the video down if you want to hear it slower.
Instead of the glue you should have made a small panel that you could slide in and out all the way down where the cord was.. this way you could easily slide and replace the charger if need be.
Making jigs--the key to all good woodworking. Great project, beautiful piece!
I love jigs. Ha. Thanks!
I really did think it was metal for a few moments till ai remembered you were going for that look with the strained poplar, great job, it looks super nice.
Awesome. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing
Lots of little extra tips throughout the video that will come in handy for other builds too
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome! So glad found it useful!
That’s a great idea,and excellent job with the project. I need to do this.👍👍👍
Thanks so much! It was a really fun project
Why don't you ever plunge drill holes instead of ye olde tape on a drill bit trick?
I’ve only just found this channel, and it’s amazing! Such great work!
Awesome. Thanks!
Great video. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your content and style of presentation.
So nice to hear. Thanks!
Fantastic Work. Just discovered your Channel. Looking forward to more.....Thanks for your time.
Thanks so much!
wireless charging ? 何ですか？ non sapevo esistesse, che poi è Tesla ad aver ideato l'alimentazione per via radio
I'd built something similar to this 4-5 years ago. I had one of the first wireless charging phones. Samsung claims they had the first, released in March of 2015 but I got my Droid turbo in late 2014, sorry Samsung, you're wrong. Anyway, when I would tell my friends about how it would charge wirelessly, they would look at me like I needed a straight jacket. Especially iPhone guys. I also built several custom wood chargers using the internals I purchased on eBay direct from China. The problem then was the inductive coils just weren't very strong and I basically had to route the wood down to almost veneer thickness so that they would work....and forget about a case on your phone. If phone was too far, the chargers would overheat and fry. I ended up scrapping the projects. Well done on your nightstands! They look beautiful!
Thanks so much! The technology is definitely getting better
Yo no l pondría silicón caliente al cargador l pondría un triplay d delgado, para cuando sea necesario moverlo
I love this video, you gave me a couple of good ideas to use. I am subscribing to your channel now.
Awesome. Glad you liked it
Jig, Jig, Jig, call me a Jig junky, you never fail to give another I haven't thought of. Many of mine are based on yours although I've [self taught] come up with a few of my own backwoods style without the bells and whistles. By far yours are more refined and polished. Thanks for what you do.
I love jigs. Ha.
Hi great video and project. After Teo year hie reliable has the xhargwr been? I have same charger and playing with random pieces of scrap. It seems like you had to go to 1/8 inch thickness. Do you feel like you're getting good charging speeds and it's consistently charging?
Still use it nightly 👍
Very nice work!!! Who did you get your passion for wood working? Dad, Grand Pop, Mom or Grand Mom
And I loved the trick with the playing cards for spacers!! Wicked idea I will use that thanks
Thanks so much! I don’t really have an answer for that! I didn’t grow up with anyone around me woodworking. Although I recently found out my grandfather was a woodworker. Sadly I never got to learn anything from him so I guess it’s just in my blood!
And I wish I came up with that trick. Believe I saw brad from fix this build that do it first.
Why are there 90 dislikes? Pray for the haters. This is amazing. I wish you lived in my city I would put my order in. I’m new but your work is beyond exceptional. Keep up the great work.
Ha! Thanks so much! I don’t even ever look at the thumbs downs..... as long as the thumbs up are higher I’m all good 👍😂
Beautiful pieces, beautiful work. Always a pleasure to see your projects and inspire us.
Thanks so much!!
Below,,..Interesting. Not interested. No edit button. Lol
Beautiful table but the way she says “draw” for drawer... 😣
Hey! I'm actually making a pair of these wireless charging nightstands from Wood magazine right now as well! Using walnut and maple and some epoxy for the charging area. Basically it'll be a tinted epoxy ring that looks like an inlay, with the charging mechanism underneath. We'll see if it all turns out. Bout halfway done with this project so far... I enjoyed the different techniques you used here. Well done!
Awesome! Sounds like a cool project!
To my eye, a thinner frame wouldn't have looked better. Also, square section metal tubes have rounded edges - a bit too round, to my taste, for this design.
Watch your back - don't lift heavy weights unprepared. I damaged mine, and it's not going to heal perfectly.
Thanks for looking out 😉
I love your videos... I always learn something new! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I learn something new with each build too! Glad you find it helpful!
Your Skillset is Out of this World ! Did you have any formal training??
& the legs definitely look metal. Awesome Job !!
Thanks! Nope. I’m all self taught ☺️
