Butter. Delicious walrus butter. I’m not entirely certain what you don’t know why more people don’t do. Did I miss something crucial when the dog asked for his dinner? (Nice little cabinet, by the way.)
Butter! I am really enjoying you work in a limited space. It's making me rethink my garage setup, as I too have a 1 car garage. I just wish you'd stop with the OSU shirts. On Wisconsin! :-)
Butter! As an 80 year old amateur woodworker (living in New Zealand) seeking to up my game, I found this video very useful. Most of the videos I watch have vast workshops with professional equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars, and the presenters appear to have been doing this stuff since before you were born. I'm not implying you lack skill - you don't. The quality of the video itself is excellent as is your ability to explain fully and clearly what you are doing. I've subscribed. Thank you.
Pro tip from a painter that predates the blue painters tape: It was originally intended for masking delicate surfaces, like old varnish. IF you don't have a delicate surface, get the old fashioned kind. It's MUCH cheaper and sticks better.
Butter! I am a 61 yr old just starting off with wood working. I have watched many videos. This is my first time commenting because I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the amazing work, I learned a lot. Thank you!
Butter! I am 19 years of age living in Australia. I love working with wood but I don’t have much time to spend on making anything to be proud of. Your videos are absolutely helpful to see which tips and tricks to use. Thank you for creating your content 😊
Butter! I have been making sawdust for 50 years but you never stop learning. I love your approach and attention to detail. Great job with just the basics for tools. For what it's worth, I'm impressed!!
Butter sir. First visit to this channel. Firstly love your workshop setup considering the space you have. And most importantly, this is an education for anyone wondering why hand crafted items cost what they do, as well as the time it might take. Wonderful to see someone care so much what they produce, I know this level of craftmanship will secure you a profitable, joyful career leaving things of beauty that will be treasured for generations.
Butter! I'm a hand-tool woodworker, so I can't do lots of things that you do, but I absolutely LOVE your honesty and corny jokes and straightforward project ideas.
Butter. Nice job. I've been a custom home builder for 48 years and always wanted to do custom furniture pieces. Finally building my first official woodshop, 3500 sf. Some good tips here. Can't wait to implement them.
Now that I am all buttered up, I just want to say the way you present your videos is great. Very enjoyable as well as easily followed. I am quite confident I could reproduce your work after a few replays. Thanks for putting these out. I also have a very small shop so it is great to see how you use the space and tools to get the job done. It's to bad you can't upgrade that outlet!
Butter--great work and presentation! Love that you're doing it in a one-car garage but still getting quality work done. Love your presentation style and that you mix humor with poking holes in things (that's what she said). Subscribed and looking forward to more content from you.
Butter! Here’s a tip for the bottom: use biscuits, say 3 or 4 in the sides, then cut a continuous biscuit slot in the bottom panel but stay just short of the front, the bottom panel can then slide in from the front. I do this when adding fixed shelves into cabinetry on site, it’s quick easy and neat.
Butter! You are living the dream I might have had if I had found woodworking in my younger days. Still, I'm retired now, so I don't have to quit my day job, and can just make things when I can afford the materials. That happens about as often as I have the time, so it's working out great. You are teaching me loads of techniques and time-saving tips, so thanks for that. I want to try this butter stuff! I wish I had the funds to support your dream; you sure deserve all the good things. I'll try to put together enough cash for some merch, and I highly recommend you to others, too. You're well on your way to 100,000 subscribers, and I look forward to your passing 1,000,000!
its a big investment, but with having the same electrical restraint....i got an ecoflow battery generator to run my dust collection. works like a charm and i can use dust collection while using my tablesaw.....without the blackouts. hope it helps! cheers!
BUTTER - First time watching you and thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m a master cabinet maker with over 40 years of experience and I always love watching and learning new ways to do something I do almost daily. Your drawer tricks are great and I plan to give a couple of them a try on my next project!
Butter. Love seeing you represent people with small workshops and small selection of tools. I also appreciate your honesty regarding problems you run into and how you overcame them.
Butter‼️. Loved watching your love for working with wood! You really did an incredible job of making the cherry wood night table. You show perfection without being afraid to show a mistake or take a chance. Thank you for the view into your wood shop.
I'm a beginner but absolutely obsessed I love these videos and you do a great job of explaining little tips and pro tips on how to get the job done with minimal tools
I’ve been an electrician for years, I have all the tools to go with that trade. When I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is electrical. I like the tips you give that prevent me from having to buy more tools or gadgets to complete a task. It’s not like I’m not going to buy new tools, I’ll just be getting ones that I can really enjoy while making my next project.
Butter baby! 😂 You're an inspiration.. researching my retirement plans by watching your video. Looking at a 11/2 Garage situation and starting my organization now and figure out what tools i still need.. thanks man, that project looks great!
Butter! I really enjoy watching your builds and love the fact that when you make a mistake, you don't try to hide it and explain how to fix it. Thank you for the great content and the humor.
@@stevenpatterson794 I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. I mentioned butter because Spencley asks to put in a key word if you watch the who video.
One little tip. For knot holes, Instead of using pigment in the epoxy use coffee grounds. I dry out my used coffee grounds and add them to my epoxy until it's a peanut BUTTER consistency. Sand it down and it looks great! You can hardly tell it's not just a real knot. I also just use quick-setting epoxy you can get from harbor freight for small jobs.
Butter! I love watching people build stuff and seeing clever shortcuts for doing things and getting a great result. I also love that you used the butter on that cherry wood, it turned out beautifully
Butter. This was fantastic! I'm a part owner of a woodshop, and I love to see different ways that others do things. Definitely going to build one of those miter jigs from our table saw. Thank you for this!
Butter Me Not! Wonderful build! Very inspiring and now I know for sure, it’s not the space - it’s the people or person (in your case) who makes it all work at the end! Gosh, watched the whole thing in one sit and barely even blink. 🎉
I watched the entire video (including the comedy routines) and even the furniture butter application. I appreciate the little tips that are actually big! Thank you.
I am in my eighty and no longer do work for the public. I stay at home and watch T.V., watch U-Tube and play with my dog. I really enjoyed this video. You showed a few minor mistakes you made not like so many videos that show eveything going perfect. Your video was like real life. Kudos to you!
Butter. Your French cleat wall mount is great. Same with the 45 degree chamfer on the bottom of the drawer front and the bottom of night stand. BTW, I saw your night stand in a photo on the Kreg site; and, equally important, Kreg acknowledged Spencley Design for the design and plans. Nice.
butter. I also have a very small shop, and I do not invest too much time into anything I do, but it is always nice to see young people like you getting involved in making due with what you have. Nice work, Sir.
Protip: running your table saw while running your planer will keep the breaker from tripping. The table saw will spin up no load and provide a nice regenerative buffer for the load dips on the planer.
I have been a furniture builder/cabinetmaker most of my life. In my sixties now and have been fortunate enough to have learned a lot of practical and time saving practices. The amount of work you went to in order to create a miter joint was exhausting for me to watch. Have you not heard about a “miterfold?” One simply lays however many pieces with mitered ends on a flat surface toe to toe and stretch painters tape across miter seam, carefully turn it over then pour glue into the created v-groove and fold miter closed. It works like a dream.
Butter - This was such an entertaining video! I absolutely love the fact that you always show off different ways to approach the project and different tools that can be used
Butter. Great work on the project! You can use a tongue and groove router bit set for making the cuts for attaching the bottom. Using a straight bit and table saw also works just as well. I save sawdust for filling in gaps just in case, just store them in a ziploc bag for future use. Comes in handy. Nice to see Little Tikes makes bandsaws! I wonder if Tonka makes one!
Butter -- Great video. Liked seeing the mistakes and how to fix them. Also liked seeing what finish you used on the project. I always use the drawer slides from Lowes so would like to try the ones you used on my next project.
How about a car butter-y or two and a big a$$ inverter; run the inverter to run your tools and a battery charger and only LED lights from the mains 120vac outlet. For intermittent operations, like the planer, it should be workable. Also have a switchover to use the socket for low amp items, drills, sanders, etc. Your planer is 15ish amps times 120vac is 1800 watts, so a 2500 watt pure sine wave inverter is about $200 and you could run your vacuum from the mains receptacle.
Butter. Very nice build with (relatively) minimal tools. Granted, about the only ones I have right now are the power drills, a power saw, a router and the $5 Harbor Freight chisel, so still a way to go before tackling these kinds of projects, but still fun to watch and pretty inspiring. Thanks.
Butter. What a good video! I’ve been an aspiring hobbyist woodworker for years now, skills growing slowly, and have a building collection of tools. You’re narration and offered insight of why you chose one path over another is very informative and helpful for someone as green as me, but someone who would like to progress to competent one day. I’ve already gleaned so much insight from this build and I’ll check out your other content. Thanks man and keep up the great work!
Sehr schönes Video, vielen Dank. Das Thema „Astlöcher im Holz füllen“ nimmt auf UA-cam immer mehr Raum ein. Das geht inzwischen von der Verwendung geschmolzenen Zinks, Zinns oder Messing bis hin zu den verschiedenen Mischungen von Sekundenkleber vermengt mit Backpulver, alle Arten von Metallstäuben bis hin zu feinem Sand. Wenn dann noch Farbe beigefügt wird, hat man sehr viele Möglichkeiten der Gestaltung. Dass sollte auch mit Giessharz bzw. Resin gehen.
Great tips, one thing I do a tad differently, is I don't wipe the excess wet glue. Its easier to scrap it off when its dry. I find when I send a piece through the planer, if the glue was wiped clean before it was dried, it leaves a very thin layer of glue that gunks up my blades on the cutterheads, leaving to more maintenance when you're using it non-stop. Great set-up for what space you have!
One tip with closing gaps on your miters that I find gives the results I'm looking for is to use the same type of material to rub the fibers together. The screwdriver works but it's harder than the wood, try a small cut off next time
Butter Excellent video simply because you explain everything so well with so much detail! Don’t ever assume that even the most experienced viewer knows every little bit. Every man is my teacher in that that I may learn from him! You may think that it must be boring to all of us so that is why fast forward was invented! Keep up the good work and don’t ever change your approach. It just works!!!
"Butter" is kind of a silly name but I'm glad I knowabout this product. Thanks for the complete explanations - knowing why you did a process or used a particular tool helps me understand how I might need to follow your instructions exactly of modify them (I hope, logically) for my particular needs. Good videos, thanks.
Butter me up with some woodworking wisdom! Greetings from the sunny island of Curaçao in the Caribbean. Your video was fantastic, and I enjoyed every minute. Your advice on using furniture butter for finishes was a revelation-I'll definitely be trying that soon. Keep up the great work!
Butter ... Nitpicking, but I think you meant parallel edge instad of perpendicular edge ... I am not anti-domino, but i have used dowels for decades. And I AM against tool systems with extremely high prices. The finished product looks great! I have not used that type of finish, but it looks so easy & good I will need to get some.
That huge box on the back of the cross cut sled, brilliant! I saw it only AFTER thinking the same thing I think every time I look at my sled: "this thing is asking for fingers". Excellent work on the sled!
Butter! One of the big reasons i subscribed to this channel is because you creatively work within a small space using relatively consumer grade tools. While i enjoy watching channels with impressive woodshops, I am just a delusional amateur! Thanks for the videos.
Butter I liked watching this. You present is an easy/ not rushed way. I was surprised you simply hot glue your pieces to the melamine and run it through the thicknesser. I think this leaves a slight chance of uneven height blobs of hot glue, even though you press it down. I think a better option would be to add some flat spacers, washers, coins, toothpicks, or anything of an even thickness to the bottom board, add your hot glue close to those, then press away with your top piece. This should ensure the gap is perfect. Food for thought 😉. Thanks for sharing!
That's a good idea! It would help with the extraction as well, using chisel on the edge, to leverage it off the baseboard (without the edge crunch, even if he trims down his boards usually). New to channel, so haven't seen many other videos - and if he used your suggestion. 👍
A Cabinet Scraper is an Excellent tool ~ as long as you re do the bur on the edge from time to Time. I also use the blade from a Utility knife ~ always close by and works very well also
Cutech 40180HI 8-Inch Spiral Cutterhead Benchtop Jointer with Cast Iron Tables. I bought a couple years ago for around $450 new. Built some extension tables for infeed and outfeed and it works great
Butter. I made a sofa table about 5 years ago out of ash wood but never used a finish on it. I like the look and ease of the wood butter, now I can add a finish.
Butter! Love that you’re so genuine!! Very informative and show everything. I’m just starting to learn about woodworking and how to use all those tools and learning about angles and degrees. Thanks and Goid Luck going full time with this!
Butter. I would love to patron but I am single mom of 5 boys. I just want to say I love your videos and all your little clips that you add in. You say a lot but not to much. You’re concise and give good instructions. I also love your honesty. So many people aren’t and it’s unfortunate. I teach my kids that you’re going to mess up and that’s ok. What’s more important is what you do following the mess up. I hope you’re able to quit your day job. I hope to one day too. I would love to do more woodworking. I’m just a beginner at this point. I hope you have a great day and keep up the great work! ❤
Butter. Not sure if you're still paying attention to old videos, but youtube just suggested this one to me. Also if you are still looking for a small shop jointer, Grizzly has a nice little 6" wide, 10 amp guy for $300 with a straight knife, or $400 with a spiral cutter.
Butter. A nice basic cabinet project that is good for new woodworkers with some experience. Nice understandable instructions/teaching as well. I will try your finishing method on some custom motorhome cabinets! Nice job!
Butter! On gluing the sliding joint for the bottom. Glue the front third of the groove and the back third of the tongue so that you can sliding it 2/3rd together before the glue cause binding of the joint. If the joint seizes, clamps helped quite a bit versus trying to use a hammer.
Butter! 😁 Great video! I’m just getting started in woodworking and happened upon your channel as I was searching how to use my Kreg jig. You have a lot of great info and you’re funny to boot! Thank you!
Butter. Just acquired a used planer so the milling was very much of interest to me plus the dealing with space limitations. Lots of great ideas. Easily held my attention!
Butter...great video. Love how you simplify the process. Though the freedom cleat is more known as a French cleat. I've used them for years. Great job Eric.
"Butter Buckeye O - H" did I get your attention??? I'm a retired cabinetmaker who is also a BUCKEYE. Your work is GREAT, 5 Stars! Your mechanicals skills are very good, your eye for detail is also very good. You did a nice job!!! It's really tough finding people who are willing to pay you for what your labor is really worth, that's what I have found out over the years. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! Word of mouth sells.
Butter. I know your business will continue to grow. You explain everything very nicely. I hope no matter how well established your business becomes that you strive to always look far ways to keep your content simple for those who can not afford all the expensive and most latest equipment. Thanks for sharing.
Butter - I saw how long the video was and didn’t think I’d make it all the way (since it’s also 2:15 am) but I got intrigued and watched it all right through til the end. I liked it.
Butter! Hey man, just finished your video. Super informative for me. I'm just now beginning my journey into woodworking so I'm trying to soak up as much good advice and teaching as I can. Thanks again!
BUTTER ... As a 'hooby' maker, I'm finding your 'tips & tricks' invaluable. I feel I'm learning more with each of your posts, so keep them coming and thank you ...
Butter!! I am a late arrival to your page. But being a "day late and dollar short" is my lifestyle. I just found it today. But you show how to get things done in a way that most of us can do. I have subscribed and will be watching more of your posts!
Butter. Butter. Butter. Third time I have watched this video. Neat project. Last time i watched it was about six months ago. I am amazed you got the finish to match all three times.😅
Nice job young man it’s great to see guys going the extra mile for the customer and more importantly for your self, always remember with quality you, will have as much quanity as you want. You are starting out the same place I did, in a 12 x 24, single stall garage. Your fun to watch
Butter... I always find these kinds of videos interesting. I used to work on projects with my grandfather in his garage workshop, and I enjoy learning new tricks on how to do potentially difficult pieces.
Butter! Great video, great presentation and narration skills - and the woodworking wasn't bad either. Joking aside, very informative and entertaining video for a woodwork newbie aged 68! All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Butter! You are hilarious! It makes the video so easy to watch, keeps us engaged, and I learn so much from your videos! You are easily one of my favorites to watch. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes and it's nice to see ways to fix them without cussing and throwing the project out into the yard to rot (okay, that was a BIT of an exaggeration...I don't leave it quite that long...). Anyway, good job.!
Butter. I love seeing how you have built this. I would be interested in knowing more about the draw runners, not just the ones you have shown here but also the ones you wanted to get but couldn’t.
Butter - thanks for the name… i used a “freedom cleat” for the first time when building a hanging TV entertainment center. And the Furniture Butter. Never used that before and because of your video… LOVE It. ❤❤❤❤
Butter! For your power problem I suggest the Milwaukee M18 3600W/1800W Power Supply with four HD12 M18 batterys and it's lightweight. I use mine on jobs sites for the same reason.
You really buttered me up with your request to comment on this... I personally love sap wood and make it like a feature. I dont understand people who say they like the look of wood and then dont want to see the character of the wood
Butter. You did a great job of showing how to build the night stand. And I thought my 12ft x 24ft shop was small. You have a lot of good hand tools and clamps. Hopefully some day you can have a 2 car garage shop. I wish you the best!
Just recent started watching your videos and I learn alot. Thank you! FYI--pretty sure I'd blow off the nay sayers claiming you aren't a wood worker just because you use tools. It's smart and I'm willing to bet they build nothing....or take 5 yrs to do it. Don't work hard, work smart.
Butter...always love demos from crafters that don't use or have every expensive tool doodad and jig and let us beginners learn alternative ways to accomplish professional looking results.

Butter be nice AND it was! Godbless from South Louisiana 🐊⚜️
Stop all the BS movie clips and the commercials maybe you should just get a job as a model now I will go puke

✌😎👍
Great video too love woodworking vids , catch some good ideas and helpful tips...
Its nice to see someone working with what they have, like most of us.
What he said
Though far less qualified to render an opinion, I agree w you.
Another fellow kiwi. Nicely said.
Pro tip from a painter that predates the blue painters tape: It was originally intended for masking delicate surfaces, like old varnish. IF you don't have a delicate surface, get the old fashioned kind. It's MUCH cheaper and sticks better.
Explains why to me the blue doesn't stick sometimes, designed not to as well as to, never guessed lol
Green is go to.
Yes but don't leave it on too long, cos it sets annoyingly hard after a week or so.
Butter! I love the humility in showing mistakes, something that other woodworking channels will not do. This is exactly how we learn!

thanks for the suggestion!
This may be the best suggestion on UA-cam this whole year.
I know they come in various capacities, how long does yours run your dust collection?
I am super cheap and lazy.... just run extension cords from other breaker circuits.

Solid. Counterintuitive. Does it really work?!
nonsense!

Have you not heard about a “miterfold?” One simply lays however many pieces with mitered ends on a flat surface toe to toe and stretch painters tape across miter seam, carefully turn it over then pour glue into the created v-groove and fold miter closed. It works like a dream.
Butter - This was such an entertaining video! I absolutely love the fact that you always show off different ways to approach the project and different tools that can be used
Butter. Great work on the project! You can use a tongue and groove router bit set for making the cuts for attaching the bottom. Using a straight bit and table saw also works just as well. I save sawdust for filling in gaps just in case, just store them in a ziploc bag for future use. Comes in handy. Nice to see Little Tikes makes bandsaws! I wonder if Tonka makes one!
Butter -- Great video. Liked seeing the mistakes and how to fix them. Also liked seeing what finish you used on the project. I always use the drawer slides from Lowes so would like to try the ones you used on my next project.
How about a car butter-y or two and a big a$$ inverter; run the inverter to run your tools and a battery charger and only LED lights from the mains 120vac outlet. For intermittent operations, like the planer, it should be workable. Also have a switchover to use the socket for low amp items, drills, sanders, etc. Your planer is 15ish amps times 120vac is 1800 watts, so a 2500 watt pure sine wave inverter is about $200 and you could run your vacuum from the mains receptacle.
Butter Great video I always learn a lot watching you walk through a build. Thank you. Yes, I am a Patron supporter.
I appreciate your support! and thank you for making it all the way through the video... I know it's a long one 😂
Butter!!! Love the info, some great tips in this one. As always great work!!
thanks craig! I appreciate your support dude!
Are your "freedom cleats" actually called French cleats…or am I completely wrong?
Think he was indulging in a bit of George W Bush era political banter.... Google "Freedom Fries" for more details...!
It's not the same, his are made in MURICA! Hence the freedom moniker. 😂😂
Butter. Very nice build with (relatively) minimal tools. Granted, about the only ones I have right now are the power drills, a power saw, a router and the $5 Harbor Freight chisel, so still a way to go before tackling these kinds of projects, but still fun to watch and pretty inspiring. Thanks.
Butter. What a good video! I’ve been an aspiring hobbyist woodworker for years now, skills growing slowly, and have a building collection of tools. You’re narration and offered insight of why you chose one path over another is very informative and helpful for someone as green as me, but someone who would like to progress to competent one day. I’ve already gleaned so much insight from this build and I’ll check out your other content. Thanks man and keep up the great work!
Sehr schönes Video, vielen Dank. Das Thema „Astlöcher im Holz füllen“ nimmt auf UA-cam immer mehr Raum ein. Das geht inzwischen von der Verwendung geschmolzenen Zinks, Zinns oder Messing bis hin zu den verschiedenen Mischungen von Sekundenkleber vermengt mit Backpulver, alle Arten von Metallstäuben bis hin zu feinem Sand. Wenn dann noch Farbe beigefügt wird, hat man sehr viele Möglichkeiten der Gestaltung. Dass sollte auch mit Giessharz bzw. Resin gehen.
Butter!! I am not a finished wood worker but enjoy watching this, I know odd watching something akin to watching paint drying.. Thanks man. Great job
Great tips, one thing I do a tad differently, is I don't wipe the excess wet glue. Its easier to scrap it off when its dry. I find when I send a piece through the planer, if the glue was wiped clean before it was dried, it leaves a very thin layer of glue that gunks up my blades on the cutterheads, leaving to more maintenance when you're using it non-stop. Great set-up for what space you have!
Beautiful Drawer and design... Looks "Butter" smooth...
One tip with closing gaps on your miters that I find gives the results I'm looking for is to use the same type of material to rub the fibers together. The screwdriver works but it's harder than the wood, try a small cut off next time
Butter Excellent video simply because you explain everything so well with so much detail! Don’t ever assume that even the most experienced viewer knows every little bit. Every man is my teacher in that that I may learn from him! You may think that it must be boring to all of us so that is why fast forward was invented! Keep up the good work and don’t ever change your approach. It just works!!!
"Butter" is kind of a silly name but I'm glad I knowabout this product. Thanks for the complete explanations - knowing why you did a process or used a particular tool helps me understand how I might need to follow your instructions exactly of modify them (I hope, logically) for my particular needs. Good videos, thanks.
Butter me up with some woodworking wisdom! Greetings from the sunny island of Curaçao in the Caribbean. Your video was fantastic, and I enjoyed every minute. Your advice on using furniture butter for finishes was a revelation-I'll definitely be trying that soon. Keep up the great work!
Butter ...
Nitpicking, but I think you meant parallel edge instad of perpendicular edge ...
I am not anti-domino, but i have used dowels for decades. And I AM against tool systems with extremely high prices.
The finished product looks great! I have not used that type of finish, but it looks so easy & good I will need to get some.
That huge box on the back of the cross cut sled, brilliant! I saw it only AFTER thinking the same thing I think every time I look at my sled: "this thing is asking for fingers". Excellent work on the sled!
Butter! One of the big reasons i subscribed to this channel is because you creatively work within a small space using relatively consumer grade tools. While i enjoy watching channels with impressive woodshops, I am just a delusional amateur! Thanks for the videos.
Butter
I liked watching this. You present is an easy/ not rushed way.
I was surprised you simply hot glue your pieces to the melamine and run it through the thicknesser. I think this leaves a slight chance of uneven height blobs of hot glue, even though you press it down. I think a better option would be to add some flat spacers, washers, coins, toothpicks, or anything of an even thickness to the bottom board, add your hot glue close to those, then press away with your top piece. This should ensure the gap is perfect. Food for thought 😉.
Thanks for sharing!
That's a good idea! It would help with the extraction as well, using chisel on the edge, to leverage it off the baseboard (without the edge crunch, even if he trims down his boards usually). New to channel, so haven't seen many other videos - and if he used your suggestion. 👍
A Cabinet Scraper is an Excellent tool ~ as long as you re do the bur on the edge from time to Time. I also use the blade from a Utility knife ~ always close by and works very well also
Cutech 40180HI 8-Inch Spiral Cutterhead Benchtop Jointer with Cast Iron Tables. I bought a couple years ago for around $450 new. Built some extension tables for infeed and outfeed and it works great
Butter. I made a sofa table about 5 years ago out of ash wood but never used a finish on it. I like the look and ease of the wood butter, now I can add a finish.
Butter - looks amazing - thanks for keeping it simple for your builds
Butter! Love that you’re so genuine!! Very informative and show everything. I’m just starting to learn about woodworking and how to use all those tools and learning about angles and degrees. Thanks and Goid Luck going full time with this!
Butter. I would love to patron but I am single mom of 5 boys. I just want to say I love your videos and all your little clips that you add in. You say a lot but not to much. You’re concise and give good instructions. I also love your honesty. So many people aren’t and it’s unfortunate. I teach my kids that you’re going to mess up and that’s ok. What’s more important is what you do following the mess up. I hope you’re able to quit your day job. I hope to one day too. I would love to do more woodworking. I’m just a beginner at this point. I hope you have a great day and keep up the great work! ❤
Butter. Not sure if you're still paying attention to old videos, but youtube just suggested this one to me. Also if you are still looking for a small shop jointer, Grizzly has a nice little 6" wide, 10 amp guy for $300 with a straight knife, or $400 with a spiral cutter.
Butter. A nice basic cabinet project that is good for new woodworkers with some experience. Nice understandable instructions/teaching as well. I will try your finishing method on some custom motorhome cabinets! Nice job!
Butter! On gluing the sliding joint for the bottom. Glue the front third of the groove and the back third of the tongue so that you can sliding it 2/3rd together before the glue cause binding of the joint. If the joint seizes, clamps helped quite a bit versus trying to use a hammer.
Butter! 😁 Great video! I’m just getting started in woodworking and happened upon your channel as I was searching how to use my Kreg jig. You have a lot of great info and you’re funny to boot! Thank you!
Butter. Just acquired a used planer so the milling was very much of interest to me plus the dealing with space limitations. Lots of great ideas. Easily held my attention!
Butter...great video. Love how you simplify the process. Though the freedom cleat is more known as a French cleat. I've used them for years. Great job Eric.
Butter - just found you on UA-cam - I’m an old beginning wood worker and I love the way you explain your steps and processes! Thank you!
"Butter Buckeye O - H" did I get your attention??? I'm a retired cabinetmaker who is also a BUCKEYE. Your work is GREAT, 5 Stars! Your mechanicals skills are very good, your eye for detail is also very good. You did a nice job!!! It's really tough finding people who are willing to pay you for what your labor is really worth, that's what I have found out over the years. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! Word of mouth sells.
Butter. I know your business will continue to grow. You explain everything very nicely. I hope no matter how well established your business becomes that you strive to always look far ways to keep your content simple for those who can not afford all the expensive and most latest equipment. Thanks for sharing.
Butter - I saw how long the video was and didn’t think I’d make it all the way (since it’s also 2:15 am) but I got intrigued and watched it all right through til the end. I liked it.
Butter. I've been afraid of undermount drawer slides, but with this video, I think I'm ready to try. Thanx.
Butter! Hey man, just finished your video. Super informative for me. I'm just now beginning my journey into woodworking so I'm trying to soak up as much good advice and teaching as I can. Thanks again!
BUTTER ... As a 'hooby' maker, I'm finding your 'tips & tricks' invaluable. I feel I'm learning more with each of your posts, so keep them coming and thank you ...
Butter!! I am a late arrival to your page. But being a "day late and dollar short" is my lifestyle. I just found it today. But you show how to get things done in a way that most of us can do. I have subscribed and will be watching more of your posts!
Butter. Butter. Butter.
Third time I have watched this video. Neat project. Last time i watched it was about six months ago. I am amazed you got the finish to match all three times.😅
butter... I love those below drawer slides, and the hard wax finish. your explanations of your work is "top notch".
Nice job young man it’s great to see guys going the extra mile for the customer and more importantly for your self, always remember with quality you, will have as much quanity as you want. You are starting out the same place I did, in a 12 x 24, single stall garage. Your fun to watch
Butter... I always find these kinds of videos interesting. I used to work on projects with my grandfather in his garage workshop, and I enjoy learning new tricks on how to do potentially difficult pieces.
Butter! You make this project look so easy. Thank you for your explanations so thorough. Really appreciate your drawer hardware explanation. 👍🏽
Butter! Great video, great presentation and narration skills - and the woodworking wasn't bad either. Joking aside, very informative and entertaining video for a woodwork newbie aged 68! All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Butter. Thank you for some very helpful pointers for me as an amateur DIY woodworker.
Butter! You are hilarious! It makes the video so easy to watch, keeps us engaged, and I learn so much from your videos! You are easily one of my favorites to watch. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes and it's nice to see ways to fix them without cussing and throwing the project out into the yard to rot (okay, that was a BIT of an exaggeration...I don't leave it quite that long...). Anyway, good job.!
Butter, What an incredibly well done video. It was so informative and your levity was really nice. Great work!! Love your innovation
Butter. I love seeing how you have built this. I would be interested in knowing more about the draw runners, not just the ones you have shown here but also the ones you wanted to get but couldn’t.
BUTTER
Nice!! I like how you mounted the floating night stand with the french cleat.
Butter - thanks for the name… i used a “freedom cleat” for the first time when building a hanging TV entertainment center. And the Furniture Butter. Never used that before and because of your video… LOVE It. ❤❤❤❤
Butter! For your power problem I suggest the Milwaukee M18 3600W/1800W Power Supply with four HD12 M18 batterys and it's lightweight. I use mine on jobs sites for the same reason.
Butter - Loved seeing how you get creative in a small space with electrical restraints to make beautiful furniture.
Butter. As a newbie appreciate your clear and concise explanations. Age 73! but still growing.
Butter...
I really appreciate the shortcuts in your 'style' of woodworking, your very comical and entertaining, thank you.
You really buttered me up with your request to comment on this... I personally love sap wood and make it like a feature. I dont understand people who say they like the look of wood and then dont want to see the character of the wood
BUTTER - Greetings from the UK. It's so good to watch you take your time to prep and produce stellar pieces in your workshop 😃
Butter. You did a great job of showing how to build the night stand. And I thought my 12ft x 24ft shop was small. You have a lot of good hand tools and clamps. Hopefully some day you can have a 2 car garage shop. I wish you the best!
Butter! I'm a total newbie. I like your videos. That's why I keep coming back. Keep them coming, Spence.
Just recent started watching your videos and I learn alot. Thank you! FYI--pretty sure I'd blow off the nay sayers claiming you aren't a wood worker just because you use tools. It's smart and I'm willing to bet they build nothing....or take 5 yrs to do it. Don't work hard, work smart.
Butter...always love demos from crafters that don't use or have every expensive tool doodad and jig and let us beginners learn alternative ways to accomplish professional looking results.
