Nice build man! I will say, I appreciate seeing the completely disorganized wood pile in your garage. Mine looks very similar lol. Keep on keepin on! I should add though, with a commission project, think about going the extra mile and finishing the stain, even if you won't see it.
I'm getting something very similar. I also found on teemu a set of LED small pot lights that I'm installing pointing upwards rather than down. It's in a dark corner of our apartment and it should give some nice ambient lighting to the space
As a lifelong woodworker all I can say is the underside of this very simple build was a complete mess, especially for a purchase project. Running paint, discoloration, knots, all showing. The top color was way too light as well. Every imperfection was right there, not distressed but imperfections. You CAN get a patina/weathered look without making the paint look translucent. Doin that only makes the piece look like a garage project. Getting that look takes time, and if someone is paying for it, you owe it to them to give the project the time and attention to detail it deserves. Also, routing that sill ledge out of the leg severely limited the future use of this shelf. Basically, you better hope they never move their furniture around OR move from that house as this "divit" will look like the customer built it on a Saturday night after a few drinks. When building a piece of furniture or anything for that fact, YOU have to think ahead, years ahead. That is what they are paying us for, durability, BEAUTY, utility, and LONGEVITY. BTW, what you did with that leg and sill was for a "built-in", not a movable piece of furniture. Dude I am NOT trying to kill you here, just make you aware of what will make you a better woodworker doing as you say "commissioned" projects. Good luck.
I agree 100% with what you said. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism. I wouldn't have bought this if it was in a store.
Let’s go!!! Another awesome build! Makes me even more excited by the possibilities!
Nice! That’s where I’ll put the top ramen and ammo.
Cool project. Can you share what that outlet extension was? And where you found it?
That's a good idea, I really like the surface outlet very functional.
I think a good idea for cutting the taper on the legs may have been to stack both pieces of wood and cut both at the same time. Properly aligned, this would make them identical.
Sweet job man!!!! Twisting boards suck. The best thing I found for twisted boards is a hand plane and winding sticks. The sticks show the high spots so you can plane them out
Landon is really tall! First time I’ve actually seen more than just his face while playing COD. 😂. Definitely going to put this idea in my possibility drawer for the next house.
Is this Veritasium alt channel? 🤣
I like the way how the finishing came out, satin finish is always safe to go. BUT, how come you didn't cut out the bottom part to perfectly fit against the wall and the wall base molding? That would make it perfect...
Damn that’s a great into! Subbed!
Link to those outlets?
Hope this helps. Look up - Conference Recessed Power Strip Socket 9.8Ft Cord,Desktop Power Grommet Power Strip with 2-Outlet & 2 USB Ports
Is there a reason you didn't finish all the edges? Or at least the visible ones?
Ah. A woodworking Chad. A rare and mystical animal of the woodworking forest.
Also an amateur to amateur, testing the stain was a good idea. I don't know if you did, but just in case. I know you aren't a professional and its not a job but it was a good idea to take measurement of the window sill and moulding (stuff on the bottom of the wall). If you measure these as well then you can do everything in your shop and not have to do them during delivery.
omg i want ur cute lil self to come to nyc and make me one of these
Where did u get the outlet
What stain color did you use here?
The only thing I don’t like is it smashes the curtains
Do you have a materials list for this project? I understand measurements may vary.
Any word on what outlets were used?
How did you put your logo on the finished piece
Great build. Where did you get the outlet? Did you have to do any wiring, or was it "plug and play"?
Yeah I'm trying to figure out what he did
It's a plug and play outlet. I bought one and it comes with measurements to cut the wood.
What is that blue thing hanging from the roof?
Measure twice,
Cut once,
Hammer into place.
Looks good. Is there a concern with spilling drinks into that outlet. Asking for a friend...
did not like that grey, but the rest was really nice and custom.
Better hope a fly doesn't land on it.
Hey guy! You’re handsome!
Nice.....:👌
Why so much gibber gabber before you start?
It’s missing spots for some firearms, mags, & maybe space to hide some extras around the house.
That's not the purpose of the build...
I know but I’m saying that’s what it could be used for if someone built it that way.
Crap build, crap result, curtain is now useless, get the money back to Landon.
I subscribed based on the potential of this video....by the end, I unsubscribed.
Way too much talking while filming yourself and not nearly enough explanation or showing the work being done.
@@greenlightshooting1 lol, "dedicated this TH-cam channel to learning how to build stuff".
First thing said in the video..... Teaching, learning..... But not a "how to" video. Okaaayyyy
Time to take inspiration from QLine design and add some secret gun compartments 🙂 Where's the button to eject an AR-15?
Woodprix is nice for that.
I hope you're a better martial artist than you are a woodworker.
