Built the non drawer version for my inlaws for Christmas and they LOVE it! Used dowels instead of pocket screws, otherwise used your plans. Even made a TH-cam of the build. Thank you!
Love the videos man. It's nice to watch a channel that uses normal tools that a hobbyist could have. Found your channel a few weeks ago, and you're a definite favorite
I am working on the farmhouse end table. Thank you for all your help. Great channel and keep it up. I am blind and it is a challenge, but because of your videos and easy to follow instructions on your plans for different projects I am out making sawdust and pocket holes time every day here. Thank you for all the free videos. Enjoy them a lot.
Matt, awesome little builds. I have been building cabinets and furniture pieces for a minute. I have found for your finish, that shellac (clear) with 2 thin coats( sanding 220 in between coats) and finishing with a Johnson's finishing paste (2 coats or more). This gives you a amazingly smooth finish (like dining room table). I did this on my own dining table. Only I did 4 coats of shellac for durability. It's way easier than poly. Much nicer of a look too. I have pics of product that I mentioned. But I can't attach them to the comments.
Just bought the plans for this build and I’m gonna be building 2 of them. I just finished up building a farmhouse coffee table and a couple end tables to match it will look awesome! I’m still a noob/intermediate and I’ve been doing woodworking for almost a year now and I’ve been subscribed to your channel since I started. Thank you for a good descriptive detailed video and the plans
Great build and excellent guidance! I’m going attempt this build this weekend. My wife and I are expecting our first child in a couple months and this piece would look perfect in the nursery! Keep up the awesome content brother!
Thanks Matt. Currently I'm working on a project very similar mine is a knight stand. But all this info I'm using it to finish my project. Keep up the good work Bud.
Hey Matt when you make the z clip slots for the bottom shelf Did you only put them in the Front and back bottom rails (Part D in the plans) because of the height difference with the side rails (E). The plans don't mention a measurement for the placement of the z clips there so was wondering if z clips on front and back would be enough....Thanks for all your content.
Matt - I purchased the pain sprayer you recommended. I have never used one. The manual says I should thin the latex paint to "the manufacturers specifications". Do I REALLY need to thin the paint? I planned on buying a quart of Behr white latex paint. nothing complicated. Thanks in advance.
Hey Matt. My wife and I love your channel and want to build quite a few of your projects. We are having difficulty figuring what each thing costs because we don’t know what lumber you need for each build. I realize you may not want to put all the cuts in your description but maybe you could put a rough estimate of cost so we can decide which plans we want to buy from you? Anyhow we are going to buy some plans but thought I might make that recommendation. Thanks!
I was wondering if you could do this with 1x10s and save some money? At my local lumber store 1x10s are only $1 more. Would it just leave more wood waste or would you be able to buy less boards? I might have to try that out.
Hey Matt, I just finished building the coffee table and the end table. Thank you for the idea. I noticed the pocket holes barely show on the leg braces and the bottom shelf. Mine did too. Just a thought, but if you lowered that horizontal brace 1/2", those holes wouldn't show. Just a thought. When I build it again, I think I'll lower them 1/2" and see what happens.
Hey Mr. Outlaw. I tried your long level method of jointing a board, worked well. I even showed my buddy. He also like it but asked me...isnt your fence as straight and square as the long level? Honestly stumped me haha!
Problem with just using the fence, is the board is referencing itself on the fence and doesn’t have a true straight edge to reference. When you use the level, it gives it a straight edge to reference
@@tylerommen5452 if you run the straight edge through the table saw with the wood, it flattens out the board. If you affix the straight edge to the fence, it does no good. Think of it as a fake smooth edge to run against the fence, just like if your board had a surfaced edge.
Matt I just finished a pair of these using your video. This is like my third project ever and I can’t say how much I appreciate your channel. I’ve learned so much and I’m definitely a fan of pocket holes now! God bless brother
Two things: 1. Thanks for showing how to joint without a jointer. Beginning woodworkers like myself can’t afford it all to start, and my previous farmhouse end table could have seriously used some jointing. 2. Where did you get the wooden mallet? A link would be awesome.
I appreciate the time and effort you put in recording your work. Your down to earth explanations make woodworking feel extremely approachable for beginners. Hope you and your family are well!
Matt, thankyou for introducing me to pocket holes...you can never know how much this has changed my life...almost every build I do now, my customers are requesting pocket hole joints....
I just purchased 4 download plans, but was only able to download 1 and then the download plan disappeared. What can I do? In your notes you state the downloads are only good for 24 hours, but I can’t find them. Help
I made this end table this week, it cost $156 for the lumber and slides. Don't see how there is any money to be made building these, especially when there is so much older stuff out there. I can buy an end table that is just as nice if not nicer for around $60. That being said, I really enjoyed building it, it came out great and felt good, I am just starting out, I watch your videos and have ordered several plans from your website. Thank you for your videos!
Why didn't he show how to install the bottom table top? Obviously you can't turn the table over to install the bottom table top, why didn't he showed how to hold the bottom table top so it won't fall down while you're trying to screw it on.
Hey Matt, I really love all of your videos and you inspire me to be in the shop every day that I can. I just finished a heck of a project with badly warped tuba-sixes and tubafours. Tried a new yard to get away from HD wood, but they wouldn't let me pick my stock. My question is, where are you buying that really nice looking 1x and 2x material? Thanks for all you do!
I was working on a project and just felt like stopping for a while. So I fix a plate, pop on TH-cam and watch this video. @11:02 Now, I feel like you're spying on me. But these coffee and end tables will be my next project.
I've watched a few videos so far. Awesome channel. But I'd like to know in the videos what type of lumber you're using. SPF? Knotty pine? Cedar? For Example, this video? Are those 1x6 knotty pine?
Anyone have an idea of how much these sell for? I built one thanks Matt but I have people asking me know how much they are because they want them to so if anybody has an idea of what the price should be good please let me know LOL
Im just wondering how you knew what size pocket hole screws you needed 1 1/4 screws for 3/4 material is there a guide somewhere. If I choose to use 2" material for example do I use say 1 1/2 screws thanks and I think I've watched every one of your videos now. Time to get to work
Another great video. I noticed your new Cruze Miter Saw kicks up a lot of sawdust straight back up at you. Have you seen that as common with it or was the dust collection bag full?
I appreciate the video which helps a beginner like myself. After purchasing the plans, I think the BOM needs revised, I noticed item "D" and "E" lengths may need to be swapped? I could be wrong Thank you again!
Tried to cut all the pieces today but found a mistake. Bottom shelf M. 3 3/16 x2 + 3 3/4= 10 1/8, not 11 3/8 as you specify. I'll wait and cut those pieces later.
How can I rip boards if I don’t have table saw?. Old disabled lady trying to make projects to pay for meds to stay alive, can’t buy table saw yet, just paid $900 for 3 DAYS of meds. Thank you, I truly appreciate your videos, much more informative & helpful than others, you are a good man.
Well done, as usual. How much did you sell that for? Just starting out and trying to figure out my pricing. Just made an entertainment center from 2x4's and 1x6's similar to yours, the top and legs were 2x4's. Made it for a family member so I didn't charge them much, but I would have to charge AT LEAST $300 + materials to barely make any money.
@@731Woodworks Great, thanks. I'm new to woodworking (a year or so) and this is my first "furniture" project. Very well explained. Keep up the great vids. Thanks again.
Hey Matt I don't have a biscuit joiner or router. What other methods can I use to cut the slots for the z clips. Or will end table be good without z clips...thanks man...
I was just wondering today if a 2x4 is called tubafour, what is a 1x6? Now I know! I learned the get your glue off before you stain last week. Was making a desk inspired by your videos, thanks for the hard work.
Safety question. It looks like the delta cruiser literally throws a ton of cutoff debris right at your face every chop you make. Not safe on camera perspective. 2:07 & 2:25 examples. Looks like you lean away from it as you cut. How do you feel about this over other brands in terms of user safety?
Please answer my earlier question. I bought the plans. 5 2x6 x10 foot seems like a lot of wood. Is this for one table or two? And what kind of wood did you use?
Love your videos man. Im a beginning wood worker and find your content super helpfull and full of tips that i can actually use. Thank you and keep em coming.
Nice plan Matt, I just built one of these and am working on another. I did change it up a bit though. I used pocket holes like the plan but my preferred method is dowels with the dowelmax jig, pocket holes work well here though! I would sent you a pic but don't know how to do it here. I painted the base in an off white and stained the shelf,top and drawer front a dark walnut. really like your videos keep it up!
Bro I work night shift a lot in the oilfield in west Texas, I watch a lot of your videos and just wanted to tell you you’re awesome! Thanks for your channel
Do you use the planer on on your 1×6, new to wood working and i haven't seen you use it on your projects. I know most of the 1×6 at my big box store aren't the flatest.

What's the best way to cut the boards to size if you don't have a table saw?
Quick question… I know why the tabletop needs the Z clips, but why doesn’t the bottom shelf need similar room for wood expansion?
How can there be pocket hole haters? I use a K4 and I love it! I just want to say your videos are great!

I see you had a jointer in the back, I used your jointing method and then bought a jointer and I still prefer your method.
I used the jointer for the shelf and top (just didn't show it on video) but for cutting the legs down, it was just faster to do it on the table saw.
@@731Woodworks can you explain how a bow or cup or horribly bad side cut would not reflect?
