      Not really m8, its actually quite simple if u have ever done something with wood in ur life, you dont even need all those 1000 buck tools, but I do recommend that if you dont want to saw the planks cuz it might get bad, just buy them at home depot and ask them to cut them for u

    4:54 "a dainty octogonal wall-shelf"
    that is a Hexagon, the actual word is octAgonal, and that is not a shelf by any definition. Just because someone called it a shelf, doesn't make it one, and it lacks all the defining features. Cool little thing, but whoever wrote that script didn't try very hard, at all...

    You can also put a magnet on the underneath the false bottom and then put one on something hidden (I have a very small wall hanging with a magnet flush mounted in the back) and I use the magnet to open the drawer. But whatever floats your boat.

    @aprildegele1510 4 місяці тому

    Okay, I get that hidden storage in stairs is a great idea, but MDF hot glued together? Yeah, that's not lasting through a very warm summer in the south.
    Piano wall is awesome. Will take a lot of work and expense.
    NO popsicle sticks. NO! Bad diy-er! Popsicle sticks always look like popsicle sticks.
    Flip-down wall shelf is cool. Takes a LOT of material and a lot of work. "A few" identical pieces of wood? The images shown means hundreds of identical pieces. Even scaled down, it's a lot.
    Cool key storage. Same for headboard storage idea.
    The wooden cloth table is awesome, but only for experienced woodworkers that are good at math. Just sayin'. I'm an experienced woodworker who made a 15 sided, 4 tiered jewelry box, so I know.
    Crafter's workspace is awesome. I might try building one myself.
    Pen organizer is awesome! I have watercolor pencils, colored pencils, graphite pencils and myriad other pens/pencils. Such a smart design!

    Some of these are cool, but very few are actually hidden storage

    A bit less of the artsy angled filming and a few straightforward views of the projects would be helpful. But that’s not apothecary shelves. Also does anyone understand number 18 and #13? Certainly the camera angles don’t help. But surely if you want storage, you don’t cut and stain dozens of little bits of wood. And how do you remember which bit is hiding away the stuff you put there last night? We are always being told people are ‘time poor’, but both of those shelves look o be madly frustrating, as you’d waste all night trying to remember where you’d put the keys. Which robs the task of its original purpose.

    "...in a few hours..." if you have carpentry tools and skills or know someone who does. Not really DIY for average person. Loved the stairs drawers but my me LOL about it beast 'easy."
