I love the big projects you do, but more content like this! Would love to see more projects with basic tools like this!
Noted!
LOVE this format !!!
I couldn't agree more.
Would also like to know if these tools are rentable from Lowes/Home Depot or where I would need to go to find them.
I live in an apartment and would like to build some custom fixtures that won't damage the apartment.
This project, aside from the slight modification to the wall, is a great example of something apartment renters can build to customize their apartments.
I concur
Absolutely! The big projects are great to watch for aesthetic and technique reasons, but it's really too fancy to imitate for the average homeowner who only has maybe a jigsaw and no other power tools nor a dedicated space to work in such as a workshop. This kind of video is really empowering to help us feel like we don't need an entire room dedicated to huge tools and workbenches to get a nice project done.
In my house we don't have a garage, and the shed is too small to be any kind of workshop, and everything else indoors is finished living spaces, so I feel really trapped when thinking about even attempting to start a project for the first time, to even begin to get any experience or skills in using or making anything.
What a great way to introduce an "entry level" project while helping us get to know more about your new teammate! Great job on the idea AND the execution! (Oh and a huge warm welcome to Meighan!!😁)
Great job, Meighan! I've been wanting to do this in our living room too. Our kids also like to throw stuff behind the couch, and I feel like this solution would solve that problem too.
Great idea!!
One of your best to date, showing that truly, anyone can do this. Thanks, Bob and crew!
Thanks we're testing out some new concepts.
Great video! Great job, Meagan! I love this format in the mix! I’m a daughter dad and it’s super important to me that everyone knows how capable they are.
That's our goal here. I'm glad that we could help Meighan realize that for herself.
At 8:20 I looked down for one second and heard the intro again. I was like “Whoa! They finished that table super quick and I missed the reveal!”
Nah. She had to decorate it before the beauty shots.
This was pretty cool type of video, I know a lot of fans would love to see more of this type of content! For those who want something similar but don't have a wall to "sandwich" the table between, I actually made a similar sofa table but I had to find a way to attach it to the back so it wouldn't tip over. I ended up using conduit clamps that I bent out slightly and they hold the table to the couch without damaging the fabric. Then I just added leveling feet to the legs to hold it up. I also installed a recessed outlet flush to the table top so people can plug their phones in like you did here.
Welcome Megan to the channel! Please make more of these videos. Presenting making in a more approachable way is the best thing for the future of our hobby.
Thank you! Will do!
Welcome to the team Meighan! Thank you both for this video, it’s great to see that you can do this with basic tools, and very inspiring too!
All the best to you and the rest of the ILTMS team.
Thank you! You too!
The look of joy when the jigsaw hole was a good fit sums it up perfectly - great job Meighan, and Bob your teaching style is great - let people learn by doing!
Welcome Megan. Good job. You have now taken your first steps into a huge world of doing it yourself. Well done.
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome as always! Nice job with the instruction and construction. And great job to Meighan for tackling a project and a video appearance all at once! Can't imagine that's necessarily easy or comfortable. The project looks great! Looking forward to what you all come up with next!
She did a great job. We'll have a super cut of bloopers for the Maker Alliance today!
@@Iliketomakestuff That'll be something to look forward to!
Love these simple projects that anyone can accomplish! Great content for folks.
We agree!
Your a natural Meighan ! Stay with it and keep making things . I have a feeling you will !
you are a great teacher Bob! you guys always do great work. Welcome to the team Meighan!
Thanks so much!
Melghan is for sure a clamp champ now! Congrats on finishing this build! I realy enjoyed following on your journey.
Welcome Meighan, you're a natural! My cats would love that shelf.
Hers do too!
Welcome Meighan! Great job on your first build. Bob, I got some "This Old House" vibes from this video and absolutely loved it. I could see you doing this as a show in the future on a streaming service.
Welcome, Meighan! Great to see you on the team, and excellent to see an entry-level, practical solution project. It solves a common problem. Sectionals are terrific, but they are BEHEMOTHS and putting a coffee table in front of them just makes them effectively more massive. LOVE the sofa table solution.
I identify with Meghan a lot, I don't have much skill with tools etc but seeing her learn is really inspiring for me to get started on my own projects!
That's fantastic! It's all working!
It’s MEIGHAN! 🫵
This is the type of content I subscribed for years ago, the simple power tools home projects! I’ll be living in an apartment for the foreseeable future, so I don’t have access to lasers or CNC machines but I do have a circular saw and a drill
Great! We are working on a set of simple videos for folks in your situation.
Meighan absolutely smashed it, well done 🥰 it looks amazing.
I used my first jigsaw last year, it was a bit scary I won't lie but once I used it, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It's made me excited for future projects 😁
Amazing!
Nicely done, Meighan! Glad you’re on the team to keep everyone in line 😜. Fun fact, a sofa table was my first DIY project using power tools too!
How does this not have more views?! I really appreciate this kind of content in contrast to the bigger, more complex stuff normally going on here. Big thumbs up from me!💯
This is a fantastic idea. I'm definitely gonna put one of these little tables on my to-do list. We are in a similar situation with our couch.
Go for it!
Love the whole concept Bob, it's exactly my philosophy.
People always wonder were I got certain skills from, the answer is just by simply doing it.
What I would add to it, is when things are new and daunting, just take your time, gain some information first about the tools you're gonna use.
Asses the situation (on a realistic way!) and make like a plan with steps
And most of all, DON'T be afraid to fail. Failing = learning!
Another important note for the girls (and boys!) with long hair, please put it in a knot, it can get caught in the tools.
I enjoyed very much Meighan's process, and the comparison with sewing was very useful. This kind of tutorials are perfect for me. I enjoy and learn watching the usual projects, but they are light years from my level. Great job, team.
Great job, Meighan! That looks awesome and super functional. And welcome to the ILTMS team. They made a great hire!
Welcome to the ILTMS team, Meighan! This is a great video both production-wise and content-wise. This is a great idea for my couch situation, too.
Hi Megan, great job on this project! Welcome to the ILTMS team and you've got a lovely living room.
I made a simple couch table for my place. Since I am in an apartment, I was very limited in where I could work.
I did all the measuring and researched the available boards at my local Home Depot. I found a piece of pre-painted white board that was 10 or 12 feet long (I forget which haha).
And four 1x1x36 square dowels.
I made my cuts at home depot; cut the painted board in half, and cut 6" off each dowel. I was able to use the down scraps to make little bracers to square the legs of my table.
When at home I was able to put it all together.
Even if you don't have all the tools with you, you can make pre measured cuts at the store.
For power I just mounted a power strip on the other side.
That is a fantastic point!
Welcome Meighan! What a great idea and it worked out really well. Looking forward to more collaborative projects in the team and more opportunities for you to be Clamp Champs! 🗜️🏆😆
Welcome Megan. I hope you like working with the guys as much as we in my house like watching their videos. This was a great build I hope you guys and gal do more stuff like this in the future.
Welcome, Meighan to this crazy crew. We LIKE people who make stuff.
Awesome job Megan! Welcome to the team!
Thank you!! 😁
This is a great video. A simple piece of work that is very functional. The best part is teaching people to build it with the minimal tools. Thanks
Welcome Meighan! Also brilliant connection between a sewing machine and that tool! I cant wait to see what other cool stuff we get to see from you :D
What a positive and clear way to teach how to build. Great job!
Terrific job Meighan! That project turned out looking & functioning great! 👏👏👍👍
The charging mat and cup holders was a nice touch. Way to go guys!
Thanks Dan!
Great project and a great way to introduce the newest member of your team. The way you approached this is wonderful.
Great video!! I've been hoping for more Meighan projects and I'm glad to see one. Having someone who is earlier in their maker journey on the team should be a real boon for grounding the accessibility of your projects.
More to come!
Good job Megan! You make this look easy enough that I think I'll try it behind my sectional. Good thing I have all those tools. 😎❤👏
Beautiful addition to the living room and the team. Good job
Love her point about the similarities between the saw and the sewing machine! I’ve also found so many parallels with the techniques for sewing and woodworking. Sewing a straight line and feeding materials through a table saw - very similar indeed!
Agreed! if one can build, one can sew and vice versa! Dudes building beutiful furniture and be like "well, now the wifey have to make the cushions!". Come on dude, you made dovetails by hand but cant sew 4 straight seems?
As a woman trained as a mechanical engineer, who came to sewing later in life, I agree! If you are into fabrication of any kind, you understand it’s all about material properties, how you join materials, and understanding the relation between 2D and 3D, whether it’s a sheet of fabric or a sheet of metal. Efficient layout of materials and order of manufacture -you have the same considerations. Steaming a wool coat collar into shape, or forming a curved shape from sheet metal. Fabric grain or anisotropic behavior familiar concept in both fields. Then treadles were used not only for early sewing machines but also lathes, pumps, drills etc. My respect for skilled makers in both fields grows all the time.
Watching you teach someone on camera is genius! It makes the projects seem less overwhelming and totally doable for an amateur.
I made one of these last year to hold the sectional an equal distance from the wall (due to floorboard heater behind one corner). Was a great quick project!
BOB! Attempting this project this WEEKEND. Great video.
You can do it!
Great video, welcome Meighan. As seasoned diyists it's easy to forget we all had to start from scratch, don't take skills
for granted.
Nice work Meighan!! Love the disc golf basket in the back yard!!!
This video was very, very helpful! Welcome Meighan!!
Glad it was helpful!
Welcome to team ILTMS, Meighan~! I'm really envious of how much you're going to pick up from Bob. That was a great easy-project that I'm going to have to look at building for my living room~!
Also, I saw the disc catcher basket in your back yard. It's always great to see another disc golf family~!!
Awesome stuff. It's hard to overstate how cool this is. Bob makes a better teacher than me and Meighan definitely seems like a good learner!
Awesome table you guys! I'm so excited to see more videos with Megan/Meghan!
Bob! I love this! Some of your complex projects are so cool but so hard for me to imagine myself attempting… I like this style of content too! Very motivational!
Welcome to the family Megan
That's something I always wanted to build myself and I just you gave me an idea thanks
You should!
Welcome Megan! You did a great job. First time power tooling is intimidating. Bob, you did a fantastic job explaining without being condescending. Great channel, love your content!
Nice and smart solution, and well done by Meighan! As a European it always is special to see a livingroom without a coffee table, we can't live without them. :) Looking forward to more of these, "Meighan's journey to a fully fledged DIY:er" will be a hit!
Great job, Meighan! You too, Bob... you're a good teacher.
I absolutely loved this! I always watch DIY videos like ILTMS and think, man I wish I had the guts to try this, and seeing a video like this was so awesome! More please :)
Welcome Megan! That was an awesome idea. I have been to people's house that had couches like, same problem. Really easy solution. Love the add ons too. Very useful.
Turned out very well there. Hopefully she enjoys it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
I really liked the format of this! Nice to see and meet Meighan. Great work as always!
Way to go Meighan!! This was fun to watch. We have the same problem with no where to put a drink on the couch. Good call with the outlet and charger.
Hey Steve! Thanks for the kind words, it's been a while!
I really liked the flow of this. You work well together. And she is a quick study
Fantastic job Megan!! Love this couch ledge!!
The further I get into this video the more I love it. This starters guide style is realy usefull. Please make more of these.
This video was fantasic! I loved the idea of the build and the video idea itself. I'm sure everyone like myself will appreciate more of these! It turned out really nice! Great job and welcome Meighan
Welcome to the team, Meighan! Great work as well!
I am always amazed at the things you do , Bob-- that said, most people don't have anywhere NEAR the kind of workshop you have, cool tools, C&C machines, etc. So for people like Megan and myself (I have the same kind of Adirondack chair sawhorses in my back yard) seeing a project like this done with simple tools feels WAY more approachable! I also have a sectional and a large living room and this has given me some ideas of how to rearrange (after we get the new tile in)
Thanks for making a video for some of us woodworking noobs!
Welcome Megan! I think this was a really approachable video to show people that woodwork and these types of projects are not as daunting as they may seem. Great job!
Very well done! I learnt a lot through the explanations - off to the workshop now to try circular saw cuts!
You have a really great way of explaining things :)
Great addition to the team. Relatable and doing projects of attainable scope.
Good job, Meighan! I also liked the sewing machine analogy.
Bob, you need to get Meighan a tshirt that says "Okay".
Great project and great video! I love this format: explaining everything from beginning to end!
I love this!
While I love the fantastic and big projects you get up to. I like the simple and approachable project and the explanations of tools and processes. I'm reasonably handy but I learned a few things too!
This right here ! There are many "little things" that more experienced builders DO, but maybe do not mention - until there's a newbie !
Glad to see a more "entry level" & having a woman do it, bonus ! (Old enough that shop WAS offered in my 8th grade, but still to scary for a young teen girl to take! ) I build other things, but due to the price of wood, haven't really tackled any wood projects !
Welcome to the ILTMS team! Talk about a dream job!
It's payday tomorrow - I may actually go out and buy the bits for this project - Love it!!! Really love the new direction of ILTMS and the variation in vids you're putting out!!!
Great video, Meghan reminds me of my wife. Down to try to help in any way just needs some guidance to feel like she understands how things work. Great job and shout out to Meghan and her husband for having a home disc golf net.
Love this! I love watching your videos, but lately I've been wanting to get into doing small things myself, having never done woodwork outside of basics at school. This is super helpful!
Welcome to the Zoo Meighan... The ILTMS Team is awesome. Great work!!
This is great, Would love to see more if this type of thing. Also what a beautiful home Meighan has. Also this idea is brilliant!
She's an interior designer. Hopefully she'll make the rest of our projects looks as nice.
@@Iliketomakestuff ah that makes sense. Looking forward to future simpler projects like this that can be useful around the home. Awesome work!
The team keeps getting stronger! Good work.
Super super super awesome video! I love the big projects but this is such a good way to feel comfortable and pushed over the edge to do something, but the tools and go for it 🔥
Hello, I’m a woman and have taught myself to work on my Wrangler and now my home recently purchased. I found I love it. I am also a Commercial Truck Driver Long Haul OTR. I know what it feels like not knowing and having mostly no resources to reach out for help. Not even for muscle power. Had and have to rely on myself and UA-cam. Soo grateful for it. You two are very nice ppl, but , shame on him for not insisting to teach you about safety. I watched your entire video. Your idea is brilliant, btw. But honey you also made a statement that your comfortable and still being safe. Then turned around and didn’t apply any safeguards. Neither did he. You are in a position as an example to others being on UA-cam. There’s a certain amount of responsibility automatically applied due to this circumstance. And mostly for HIM. He’s the trainer/safety guy. He accepted this responsibility when he agreed and followed through to help and supervise then broadcast the work. Please please do not do these things anymore (soo dangerous!):
1) No eye protection
2) Hair not properly pulled back. Too loose and floppy.
3) loose clothes.
4) not wearing gloves (leather workman’s or cut proof)
5) not wearing a 3M mask or better. ( sanding and cutting wood has micro dust that will cause cancer)
6) Did he tell you to put your foot on your project while using a circular saw or jig saw?!?? And you did it?!?!
7) leaving you alone and you continued to work with very little experience. This was as big for me as all the others.
8) using plastic patio chairs as wooden horse stands. Those things are soo brittle and flimsy they break w/out notice. YOU WERE WEARING SHORTS AND FLIMSY TENNIS SHOES NO GLOVES EYEWEAR. That saw would eat you up if they collapsed.
Freak accidents are lurking constantly for any tiny opening for opportunity to change your life forever. Complacency is huge too. NEVER be comfortable using those power tools.
Please hear me I’m sorry but I couldn’t stay back and say nothing.
Please don’t be offended. I wish you to always be safe. 👷🏻♀️
Welcome Megan! Love this project. So simple but makes a huge difference.
I love the evolution of this channel. From doing to teaching. So good!
Welcome Meighan!! What a great project! Love the way the table turned out and really enjoyed this video!
Absolutely amazing, hands down your best video and probably the best DIY video I've seen in a very long time. So going to do this, thank you very much for the inspiration Bob. 👏👊
Welcome Megan, its so cool to see more women getting comfortable using tools! Such a cute personality as well!
So excited to see Meghan on your team! Great project!
Us too!
Amazing video, Welcome Meighan you seem like a great addition to the team and can't wait to see you in future projects
Thank you so much!
❤ this!! This is the exact video I need! #1 - I’ve been wanting to make my own behind the sofa table for the same reasons as Meighan with a plug and USB for charging phone but I was worried about having drinks accidentally spill - I never knew about these cup holder things!! Where did you get them from? #2 - I don’t have a garage or a shop and just have the tools that you used. I couldn’t believe my luck finding this video! Unfortunately it’s winter now and too cold to do any outdoor work so I’ll have to wait until May or June to complete this project but this video has given me more confidence on where to start! Thanks so much Bob and Meighan!
And I love this video because you brought in someone who never did this before. Very "Ask This Old House" like of you! Have Meghan do more videos so she can keep learning and she's teaching at the same time!
Thanks! We're experimenting with the format to see if it's valuable to people
Hello and welcome Meighan hope you are excited to join the ILTMS team as I am for new ILTMS videos
Love the disc golf basket in the yard!
Love the teaching element! Welcome, Meighan!
Highly recommend those to anyone with little kids.
My brother built one just like this for my nephew's picture books, when he was about 3. Kids are much more likely to reach for a book, it it's displayed in plain sight and with the front facing forward.
My nephew is almost 7 now and loves books of all sorts and on his way, to become a voracious reader.
Also love, that this is a simple, approachable project. I'm more likely to watch a video, if the project is done with basic tools/methods, because I'm more likely, to learn useful stuff that way.
