I sure did! It’s all part of my move in 20 days! Ill have a new house with a downstairs shop with dist collection and air filters! I have it all here in boxes or ordered. Can’t wait to set it all up and share it here. Im wearing masks for now bit the airborn dust situation is a problem. Thanks for the support!

All Canadian dollars, quebec prices. Thanks for watching!

Ive sold 2 of those for $40, Planter season seems about over, am stuck with a 3rd one I made. I added basil in it!

That sounds awesome, and yes there’s definitely markets and niches on marketplace, to find and fill. Good luck with the man cave! Ill be building a new shop very soon, moving in 20 days. Thanks for the support!

More to come soon, moving, new shop, new projects! Thanks for the support!

If you go back to the various project videos, he gives a cutlist with dimensions.

I’ve added the links to each project in the description. It wasn’t there at first, Thanks for watching!

I thought the same thing. He usually does

Agree. I know different markets are vastly different prices sometimes but it is nice to have some idea of what prices you may get.

He usually does on the video for the particular project.

Greetings from Quebec!

Thanks for watching! A table saw sure takes alot of space, but even more to operate, needing a solid 18 feet of space to properly rip 8 feet boards. Definitely a tool for space

Thanks for the kind words! This new saw actually has technology that prevents it from starting from a power trip or power outtage so it wouldnt work with a foot pedal unfortunately, but it also has a blade brake, so it's so fast so get back to handling parts then back to cutting, I love the new saw so far! I will try and make more circles in my new shop soon, I am moving in mid july and will try to up the technique level quite a bit in the near future! Thanks for the support and watching

Awesome that's great! I try to 4x my money invested on everything I make often more depending on how niche and hard it is to make. I Sold them for $50, but I usually accept a little lower and that happens alot with facebook, i'd let those go for $40. For 2 i'd probably cut them a little more of a deal. Congrats on getting actual orders on unbuilt stuff! that's why I keep posts up on facebook after I run out, often people are happy to wait a few days, and keep contacting me once I sell out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words, I love making videos and this reminds me of real people watching them! Have a great weekend!

Hi! Cheers from Quebec, To start, I recommend getting a used table saw, I was happy with my 10" ryobi, the fence was bad but it worked, just slower to set than my new dewalt which's fence is awesome. If you get comfortable with cross cuts on the table saw, you can avoid needing a mitre saw, but I love how simple, and safer it is to use than cross cuts on table saw. That's my 2 most used tools, and anything else would depend on what you want. Make sure you protect your lungs, wear masks and or use dust collection! Stay safe, thanks for watching!

I noticed that new DeWalt in this video! Thanks Mat. Another great project.

Great video as always. I just wasnt sure what the final product was suppose to be? It looked to small to be a table but i noticed you put an umbrella in it ...please clarify what this item would be used for. Thanks

@@Mat_Builds ahh cool... i'm like 30-40 mins west of Toronto i'm not confident to buy used tools because i don't know what to look for to make sure everything is good and pay the right prices as well

@@kirkarsineau7612 It's a little table for the umbrellas on the beach. Mine was a big huge in my example. I don't really go to the beach, ha!

Thanks for the support, have a great weekend!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support as always!

Time has value! you did well buying the 2x2s if you were going to hand rip them from larger stock. Thanks for watching and good luck with the box, I hope it grows nice and full!

Got to! I have a massive project coming up where ill be making a ton of benches, I'm moving and broke down 15-20 pallets, lots of nails! Thanks for watching!

I put them up for 40 and end up selling them 30-35. I alternate between the colors of the tops, once sales slow down it usually picks up changing color. I guess it depends on the decor of people. I make them in batches of 4 usually and am done within 2-3 hours. The one in the thumbnail is the one in my living room right now, I made it before doing the video (thumbnail). Thanks for watching!

@@Mat_Builds Thanks for your explanation. Did you also try changing the shapes of the tops (circles, hexagons, etc.) ? When i saw the thumbnail I thought the frame is from metal. I was surprised that it's all out of wood.

@@hansdegroot8549 I definitely have to tell some buyers that it's wood when they clearly think it's metal from the chat. I'm clear in all my posts that legs and tops are wood. I guess that's good! I've only had 1 buyer walk away when they realized it's wood out of 100s. I've just got a new table saw and I want to make a cross cut sled for it! I'll definitely be doing some hexagons and whatnot when I get to that. I was holding off making a sled because I knew I wanted a dewalt saw.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad it can be useful!

I sold 2 on the weekend, for 30 each, I still have 2 to sell (1 from a previous batch of the color in the thumbnail and 1 from the video). I sold a bench and 2 of the little 2x3 tables too. On weekends I usually clear most of the stock I built since the last week, rarely accumulate much. I don't have much weekday time to work so I tend to sell the next weekend what I made the previous weekend / finalized in the week. Thanks for watching!

​@@Mat_BuildsThank you for your explanations on your builds. Around by me marketplace is slow. Thinking of starting Etsy? 😒 🤔

Thanks for watching, have a great weekend!

Awesome, always glad to hear people are making stuff I made, which I made because others made similar ones too! Keep on building, thanks for watching!

Voice or everything? Thanks for the feedback, still learning

Sound was just fine. Probably your phone. I had zero issue watching this

Thanks for the support, glad to share with you all!

2x2s at the store are 1.5x1.5, it’s 3 of those. Thanks for watching!

2x2s are 1.5x1.5, making the 2x2s you’d get at hardware store. Thanks for watching!

@@Mat_Builds ok, I was understanding that you were using an actual 2x2 since you were cutting your own. Thanks

I went to check the original footage, which is 2:45 including alot of setting up angles and about 20 mins of letting the black paint dry. The bulk of the time, almost half, was indeed painting and staining. The rest is just super fast to do, i've made 12s of batches of small 2x items like this and with enough confidence and experience there's nothing to slow you down, no hours of sanding, there's just no big step. Using a step block to cut stuff with a mitre saw takes 1-2 seconds per cut, using a proper jig for pocket holes is about 5-10 seconds per side, painting with a roller saves a load of time. I actually wanted to make this video 1 hour but realized it wasn't possible, decided to not lie, make it 2. Thanks for watching Mitre saw cut pieces : 10 Pocket holes : 15 Painting and staining (bulk of time) : 45 Assembly : 30 Finish Coat : 5

That seems plausible to me. I was actually considering challenging myself to do this myself and try to do it in 2 hours or less. I think it would be challenging. The only thing that I would change is fastening using dowels instead of pocket hole. That's just what I'm used to personally.

The black paint I used was the only thing that slowed me down, I guess I could just do it earlier and stain later, the stain is almost immediately dry. if it was a race i'd figure it out haha! Thanks for the support!

Thanks for watching! I don't have to use the pocket holes screws, actually I rarely used them, I bought them to make the pocket hole jig video! They do prevent cracking though because of their flat non triangular surface that hits the wood. I use 1 1/2 most of the time. My brad nails are from 3/4 to 2.5", I have all of them. I'm not sure which one I used, I just take them out and compare length to my piece so it doesn't go thru. It was probably 2" nails in this case. I am going thru the 2x2 and into the 1x2 yes. Make sure you have good pressure if you do that else they tend to just go angled or crumple in my experience. Might be my cheap nails though lol! Thanks for the support!

We have so much softwood growing all over, Massive majority of Canada is just endless trees. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for asking! imgur.com/a/ATywliF Here's the wood still there, and my shop, in not so shop condition. I've sold my house, and bought a new house with a very nice indoor shop area that i'll share on youtube transforming it into my new shop! I'm moving there early July, the last videos were videos I prepared before the final visits and inspection, and top 5 / photography video from old footage that I put together. Today is the day it's finalized , no more visits, so i'll definitely put up a temporary shop area in the garage to get some stutf done in June. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the support, have a great week! Sure will keep building, and soon into a new house / shop!

I've made them taller before, and it turns out great, have fun building!

It is and sadly i'd say go kreg. when doing 2x2s and things that dont go across side to side, they tend to get pushed in at a not 90 degree flat angle, which you can kind of see in my videos. Some day i'll treat myself to the kreg!

Haha yes, I cringe when I see that, don't those people like a straight cut and a fence?! Thanks for watching!

please tell me atleast 3 creators you know who use the saw like this

@@89Johneboy I know you're probably asking this to the guy who said im one of the few doing it right. I agree that it's rare people doing wrong, but I''ve def seen it on youtube, probably not from known creators, but i've def seen people pull the saw in ASMR videos i've watched of wood working. I've seen some wild stuff on table saws too, some people have no sense of kick back and blade direction and definitely put themselves in dangerous spots while working.

My pleasure, hopefully it helps with sales, thanks for watching!

I sell those for $40 each, without any flowers or pots, I made 2 in that build. Thanks for watching

I’ve not had problems with a non finished acrylic paint for that but I do avoid getting it in the end grain. I wouldn’t try it for a oil based paint that seals the wood or sprays like a few of my older videos but this paint basically acts as a tint, all absorbed into the wood. Thanks for watching!

I'm in Quebec, Canada. How much worse is it for say a 2x6x8? Here it was bad during covid (double even tripple prices) but i'd say we're back to pre covid prices and lower in some cases. Thanks for watching!

I have found great deals on wood on marketplace. I have received free almost full sheets of nice plywood absolutely free. Also, try any local cabinet shops. They used to let me dumpster dive for smaller cutoff pieces to get me starting using hardwoods.

It's a great question, and you're right, they are 1.5x1.5, but so will be the 2x2s at the hardware store, in addition to having their corners rounded. They used to make them that size but got cheap over time, and using tighter grain / better trees helped too I'm sure. I do find actual 2x4s (rough cut) in my recycled finds, and they're fun to build with , makes you realize how bigger 2" actually is versus 1.5" when I use them. Thanks for watching!

1 1/2" screws, in #10 format if I'm using typical screws, or just pocket hole screws ideally. Thanks for watching!

@@Mat_Builds I have the kreg mini single pocket hole jig and it was recommending using 2 1/2 inch screws but the hole seems too far for the smaller length pieces that’s why I was asking

Thanks, have a great sunday!

Thanks for the idea! Ill add it to my list, a video on general finishes / weathering that I do

Thanks, have a great weekend, thanks for the support!

Awesome, I hope she loves it! Thanks for the support

That's a good point and I might actually try that eventually. There is a little difference though, a gap of around 1/4" all around the 2x10, but even then, that could be done by just leaving a little space in the dowels, it would still dry in place well. Thanks for the thoughts and support!

Honestly, I'd keep the cross bracing for aesthetics alone.

Thanks for the advice, I was told this on another video today too, and we tested out and turns out my brand new mic is broken! it's a sony, it's going back to amazon and I'm replacing it with something else. What a bummer, can't update the audio track and it affects plenty of my latest videos. Oh well! Thanks for watching! It will be fixed starting in the next video, buying a replacement tomorrow at best buy.
