I really agree. Learning how to problem solve and improvise and seeing these skills demonstrated is far more helpful than just seeing an example of someone's flawless execution.
To be honest, not really. Even at the king of random he was upfront about when things didn't go as planned or mistakes were made. Often the camera took us along for the ride. Of course the early renditions of tkor wasn't really a "look at what I did" but was more of a "let's do this together" type show designed for kids to experiment or parents to interact with kids doing cool things. I think part of that was purposely showing when things do not always work out right the first time. Anyways, I think for long time fans/viewers of Nate, Cali, and Grant, it's just something we kind of understand.
I graduated in carpentry from a tech school and I've been working in a commercial cabinetry for 6 years (not bragging, just stating my qualifications). So there isn't anything wrong done here (aside from the cut in the frame). The key things that should be noted is that 1: making a blueprint and cut list would make things easier and give you a reference to what you may have done wrong or could do better. 2: The pocket screws are a good way to go for wood or veneer cabinets so that the face isn't damaged, just be careful with how many you use because the larger holes that are used can weaken the boards if there are to many. Another option aside from pocket screws would be joinery, but that would require a lot more planning. 3: The blocks that are used for the feet will work but a better option would be to use a full bottom with full length rails. While it would have added more weight, it would add to the strength and make sure the your legs a square and level to each other. 4: One way you could have made it easier to attach the movable top would be to make a screw template for the hinges prior to the complete assembly. 5: to make the assembly easier you should start with the drawers so that you can pin and screw the drawer faces in while the drawer is closed to make sure they are as you want them (and by using pins instead of glue you can more easily remove the drawer faces to adjust, repair or replace them). Then remove the completed drawers to install the tops. And finally attach the bottom and legs. A couple of thing that could be done to make it prettier would be to use self adhesive veneer on the edges of the boards and to cut a 1/8 inch piece of solid wood (that matches the veneer) and glue it into the cut that was made in the frame. All in all, this is a well made coffee table, but there were things that could be done better. I would reference other non-cabinetry makers to this.
This was a surprisingly entertaining way to narrate a video. Seriously, if you have more old footage you haven't used yet, feel free to make more videos like this :) Also, the less then optimal choices make for great ideas for people like me who lack certain tools.
11:30 Nate you're getting breakout of the vainer on the back side when drilling holes. Put a scrap board behind to prevent this. You are getting breakout of the vainer on the front side when using the jig saw. To minimize this apply masking tape prior to cutting (and marking it, obviously)
Like many here, I appreciate the new format Nate... I appreciate seeing you explain what's going on rather than just have a voiceover & the MST3K commentaries on your own past work was a lot of fun to see how retrospect always gives you a different perspective... Seeing the mistakes & leaving them there is definitely a choice I wouldn't make myself since my OCD will just get annoyed everytime I look at the thing & get reminded of my errors. :D Btw, you may want to hook up a rudimentary dust collection system if you plan to do more woodworking down the road. Looking forward to your next project!
Just gonna say Nate. When running that brad nailer like when you are putting the drawer faces on. Keep you hands (and rest of your body) well out of the way of where its pointed. I've not seen anything personally, but I have it on good authority that use them more often that the brads go sometimes go WAY farther than you expect, or off at strange angles and into the person holding the pieces. Otherwise. I really appreciate the video. Showing a project and goring through how you sorted things out as you went and the problem solving is always great to see!
I really enjoyed this video, Nate. Lots of fun commenting on your past self’s mistakes and weird editing decisions 😅 Would be happy for you to do some future videos in this format, perhaps if you’re wanting to do a project without lots of filming setup.
Except it won't stain properly and will be even more visible. Thought I'd be smart and fill in a small hole on my dining table before re-finishing it. Now it looks super out of place, a white dot on a wood colored table.
I’m sure you already thought of this 😂 but NFTI could easily be pronounced as “Nifty” so you could work that into a trademark or logo 😂 great video btw!
This was a lot of fun. I don’t know absolutely anything in regards to creating anything with wood and a saw. I know enough if something around the house breaks down, such as fixing a hole in the wall, fix a leak, etc. The very basic of all basics. And I can confidently say it was fairly easy enough for me to follow along with and realize that if I actually wanted, I can confidently create something with some time and patience. Good job, Nate! It looked awesome🤍
This is actually perfect timing, since I’ll be moving soon and buying furniture is expensive. Also, what’s up with the immediate negative comments? Like it’s a 30 minute video that literally dropped 6 minutes ago, so I know y’all didn’t actually watch it before complaining 😂😂
Gotta say, I totally loved this. Making your own furniture like this is all about trial and error and doing what works. Thank you so much for sharing this process and build. Love the finished table.
For temporary attachment, most carpenters I know and have talked to prefer carpet tape. Works great for things like getting your drawer faces on before you have screws in. This was a great video in a ton of ways, would love more like this
Although i won't build a coffee table, you inspired me to work on my little messy workdesk as a lazy teen. Heavy cleaning, modified a kindergartener table(the plastic one that you can open the top and has a big compartment), made separators with cardboard, a hard to access coin bank using the hollow table leg(coz im a spender), a mini table for my stationeries, a storage for my electronic parts(microcontrollers, wires, parts etc.) So thanks, it feels satisfying when you do things according to your own likings.
23:00 another way you could have done that is, instead of using hot glue, just put paint on the arm, and put the top down on it. The paint would mark its location.
I love this, narrating your past self. While I don't film myself doing anything, I'm sure it would be a completing funny comedy. Even though while in real time, there would be much cursing. 😂 Great video. I love watching someone doing woodworking as a beginner, especially when they realize they are learning and could do things better, but realize if it works now, that's how you learn. While I normally watch things to learn (like most of your videos) it's nice to watch someone doing something you have some experience at to realize how far you've come even though you still feel you don't know what you're doing and aren't very good. And remember all the things you've done on the path to get where you are. We've all been there not knowing what we're doing, and if we're doing it right, that happens often. Great video and inspiration/remember to when things are going sideways, keep pushing through. Thanks Nate.
All the imperfections make me feel so much better about my workmanship lol. Its tuff watching edited to perfection videos when they always use the right tool and things always go smooth. That aint my real life experience lol.
Great project! I'm totally enjoying your channel. Along with your very interesting subjects, it's refreshing to see someone with intelligence, class, and a great sense of humor. I also listened to your-&-Calli's podcast this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I hope the channel is bringing you as much happiness as it is to your subscribers.
Frank Howarth would be both happy AND sad watching this but he'd be happy that you tried and did your best. Those accidental cuts give the table character.
Part of the issue you were likely having with the table saw is that it looks like your riving knife is not installed correctly since the top of most riving knives is parallel to the top of the table. The circular cut in the riving knife should only be a short distance from the back of the saw blade and the curvature should match. This in turn is not allowing the an antikickback pawls to sit at the right angle against the material. All in all it looks like you learned a lot from this project and have a few things you can consider doing differently in future projects.
Great video!..slogan.."hey, it works"..build a work table if room permits, there all sorts of squares on the market. Just need to choose what works for you. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to seeing the next!!
You build things like I do. You have to be crafty along the way. It usually works out. If you are making something for yourself and you are pretty pleased with the end results, that is all that matters. A carpenter once told me that the reason we have molding and trim is because for most jobs, they are subcontractors instead of the main contractors. Because of that, they are on someone else's time limit. They can't take a bunch of extra time to make sure everything fits exactly perfectly. So, trim and molding are for making it all look better, more finished.
Omg Nate, this has to be my top video I’ve ever seen you do! 🥰 I laughed out loud quite a few times, learned some things, and honestly really like seeing you so relaxed!! 💯
I love this type of video. Like even if you do more furniture builds you should just do your pop in narration. You're a really cool guy Nate. I miss the old TKOR but I'm really happy you are doing your own thing :)
Everyone learn from making things, a review and point out the problem is more important than skipping the mistakes. You can make more others like this, not only wood works, cooking or random projects may inspire a way of doing them smarter.
Only thing I wanna comment on, on your woodworking skills (because even if you didn’t do things quite right, you are trying and learning. Keep it up!) be VERY careful to NOT put pressure on the left side of your board you are cutting on the table saw. You don’t want to push the board into the blade.
I'm not saying you should do videos in this format often. However, the benefit of filming, and then later explaining, is that all your focus can be aimed at your work. Anyways, I found this video enjoyable.
I love the video format. ragging on your past self as a voiceover is an amazingly unique video format that will be hard to replicate. Also of note: you built the living hell out of that coffee table man. that thing is going to survive the bloody apocalypse when compared to anything commercially available.
Quick Tip: for drawers like this, where you only have one level and their close together, consider bottom mounted slides, while not always as good for heavy weight they do mean you need less support structure.
Now say perhaps you show us how to make a mystery box or coffee table with cleverly hidden compartments for storing valuable items and such..loved the editing on this video beautiful table
Quick Tip: If you need to fill an accidental cut like you made mix some saw dust with wood glue to fill the cut or hole. Its basically homemade Bondo for wood working.
This is the most relatable woodworking video. Refreshing take on the usual polished CNC walnut brass epoxy live edge festool shit everywhere else on TH-cam
I really enjoyed this video and the style as well. Don’t think I’d prefer it for every video but for bigger builds requiring narration over many shots it’s a great idea in my opinion.
Sometimes a table saw can bind on the kick fence if the the blade you are using is narrower than the width of the fence. It's usually only a couple thousandths off, but it's enough to make it bind.
The nice thing about mdf is that it is basically sawdust and glue. Which means if you need to fix a cut like you made near 8:10, you can mix sawdust and glue into a paste, use painters tape to make 1 barrier, fill in the cut, smooth it out and cover with the other piece of painters tape, let it set up and the slot machine is filled
Very clever hot glue trick! Nicely done! The important thing is not that you make no mistakes, but that you recover well from the mistakes you inevitably make!
You could have used the blue tape truck for fitting the lid to the struts. Blue tape stuck to each surface and then ca glue to hold them together in the right spot while closed, then open it up and mark for screws.
Hi Nate first time commenter. I for one liked the content, if you do more of this vatiety you will learn from your mistakes previously made or watch how some others do cartain thing. I like the mixture of content from foods to harware to metalwork. My background is in IT but this channel gives me an out when i need a break.. KEEP IT GOING onwards and upwards. Cheers
"I'm more of a...... Just go" Seems like a nice quote to put on a tshirt I'm loving the humor in this one though. With the carefree explanations and the jokes in between
Nate you are just like me! I measure once than cut but then realise I have made a big mistake in my measurement. My only problem is I have the plan in my mind never on paper with measurements that's where I go wrong. I curse and cust most of all I swear . My blood begins to boil when you going to blow your top off. I was always told you learn from your mistakes if you realise want you have done wrong. Why not build yourself drafting board this you can put plans on paper. All the best Nate and God bless.
First awesome to show your human and can make mistakes as well. Also awesome you show the mistakes and problem solving things as well. Next suggestion you need to design the ultimate pusher stick or get one of those that fits in the grooves of your table saw from camera views made the cring thing happen a lot. Lastly suggestion when you talked about the mistake of running the saw through the sides you cut a sliver off a board should've cut a couple small pieces glued and tapped them in place would've fillthe cuts and still would've been noticeable but not as noticeable. Hope the day never comes I find this at the DI but if you ever do sign it first... It really is a simple but awesome piece of furniture
Thank you nate for this great video. From the first video I saw of you on TKOR i said to my self "This guy has a huge future"" I kid you not, Thats what I said. Thanks again friend for all your hard work
We would LOVE to see more videos like this, and shirts are a great idea! If I may pitch a quick idea, "Nate from the Internet" maybe a screen or monitor outline with a silhouette of you in a pose inside it. It's a thought. :)
I sell custom furniture & although I'm not an expert on the construction side of things, I'd say this is a job well done. I like learning about this sort of stuff in order to be a more reliable & informative salesperson. I also would like to start doing things like this & being a bit more hands on. Probably just as a useful hobby. And I also enjoy any video with Nate in it so it's a win win haha nice video, looking forward to more!
hey nate would appreciate next time you equalise the volume of the audio between pre and post filming because i had to cycle the volume between the audio parts
I tried building a melamine MDF enclosure for my boa constrictor. I live in an apartment. Would have been fine if I had the place cut it first, but I didn't and I live in an apartment, with no panel saw, track saw, etc. I need new wood/HDPE or something now... Lol. So I feel you. Fun vid tho!
Videos containing all of the mistakes like this are more useful than perfect builds.
I really agree. Learning how to problem solve and improvise and seeing these skills demonstrated is far more helpful than just seeing an example of someone's flawless execution.
I really loved your thermos cooking video. It’s a good food for thought video
You read my mind. I'm ALWAYS asking my husband why this or that didn't work out and its easier to learn from why so you can avoid.
Facts!
Shouldn't this channel be renamed "Honest Nate" ? More seriously it's really refreshing to see mistakes can happens ... More like this one please ;)
Honest Nate from the Internet
I like NFTI better. The videos are nifty.
To be honest, not really.

I really enjoyed this video, Nate. Lots of fun commenting on your past self’s mistakes and weird editing decisions 😅 Would be happy for you to do some future videos in this format, perhaps if you’re wanting to do a project without lots of filming setup.
If in the future you accidentally take slices out of the wood you're working with, try mixing sawdust with glue and filling it in.
i was about to comment that.
Except it won't stain properly and will be even more visible. Thought I'd be smart and fill in a small hole on my dining table before re-finishing it. Now it looks super out of place, a white dot on a wood colored table.
I’m sure you already thought of this 😂 but NFTI could easily be pronounced as “Nifty” so you could work that into a trademark or logo 😂 great video btw!
I love seeing “warts and all” videos like this. They’re actually a lot more fun to watch than a perfectly edited video where nothing goes wrong.
I want a Nate shirt! PS, shaving the sides of the drawer with a table saw was clever. Mathias Wandel would call that "retroactive precision."
This was a lot of fun. I don’t know absolutely anything in regards to creating anything with wood and a saw. I know enough if something around the house breaks down, such as fixing a hole in the wall, fix a leak, etc. The very basic of all basics. And I can confidently say it was fairly easy enough for me to follow along with and realize that if I actually wanted, I can confidently create something with some time and patience. Good job, Nate!

making it isn't much cheaper, but you control the quality
This is really awesome. I think grant would be proud of you. Thank you for this amazing content. Keep up the good work👍

For a square you can clamp onto I've heard a machinist 123 block is really good for it. it's also just handy to have.

More candid content like this please. Its nice seeing the process of leaning as you go, followed with what was learned in the process.
This might be my favorite woodworking type of video. I really know enjoy seeing the build process mistakes and victories all. Good build Nate.

This was fun to watch. You didn't make any more mistakes that any other hobby woodworker would make from time to time.
Great video!..slogan.."hey, it works"..build a work table if room permits, there all sorts of squares on the market. Just need to choose what works for you. Keep up the awesome work and looking forward to seeing the next!!

Nate...I have to say that I feel way better about my woodwork processes now. LOL. Thanks for the video.
Omg Nate, this has to be my top video I’ve ever seen you do! 🥰
I laughed out loud quite a few times, learned some things, and honestly really like seeing you so relaxed!! 💯
Great video Nate. Actually enjoyed the whole look back and narrate type of video. 😁
Very cool Nate, thanks for sharing it! Nice work!!
I love this type of video. Like even if you do more furniture builds you should just do your pop in narration. You're a really cool guy Nate. I miss the old TKOR but I'm really happy you are doing your own thing :)
That was enjoyable :) TY for the ideas for a coffee table :)
I can only see your mistakes because you pointed them out. You did a great job.
The commentary is great, haha! An excellent mix of informational and entertaining!
Enjoyed watching this DIY video, good tips!
I didn't learn anything from what you did but it was a heck of fun video to watch. I really enjoy it. Please show us more videos like this one.
Beautiful coffee table!! I love it!
Everyone learn from making things, a review and point out the problem is more important than skipping the mistakes. You can make more others like this, not only wood works, cooking or random projects may inspire a way of doing them smarter.
Great video Nate.
Love you Nate! You are amazingly talented
Only thing I wanna comment on, on your woodworking skills (because even if you didn’t do things quite right, you are trying and learning. Keep it up!) be VERY careful to NOT put pressure on the left side of your board you are cutting on the table saw. You don’t want to push the board into the blade.
I really like this pop up Nate concept! Seriously, it's so much more interesting that plain old voice over.
Nice stuff Nate, definitely way better than my first attempts at making cabinets and stuff. Can't wait to see where you go on this journey!
i must say the "honest" narration over the silent video style is great.
I would love to see a retractable knife video. You can build like a movie prop knife where the blade retracts. Would be super fun to watch you make.
Great video, Nate.
That was awesome Nate! You killed this project 💪🏼 loving the knife and wood shop type videos
I'm not saying you should do videos in this format often. However, the benefit of filming, and then later explaining, is that all your focus can be aimed at your work. Anyways, I found this video enjoyable.
This format is amazing, you're a genius!!
Ya, personality counts for SO much in these videos. Well done Nate!
I love the video format. ragging on your past self as a voiceover is an amazingly unique video format that will be hard to replicate. Also of note: you built the living hell out of that coffee table man. that thing is going to survive the bloody apocalypse when compared to anything commercially available.
Quick Tip: for drawers like this, where you only have one level and their close together, consider bottom mounted slides, while not always as good for heavy weight they do mean you need less support structure.
The style is really cool! It's a mix of modern and traditional
Now say perhaps you show us how to make a mystery box or coffee table with cleverly hidden compartments for storing valuable items and such..loved the editing on this video beautiful table
Quick Tip: If you need to fill an accidental cut like you made mix some saw dust with wood glue to fill the cut or hole. Its basically homemade Bondo for wood working.
This is the most relatable woodworking video. Refreshing take on the usual polished CNC walnut brass epoxy live edge festool shit everywhere else on TH-cam
What a grate honest video it's good to see the goofs and how you resolved them any person who has never messed up has never tried.
I really enjoyed this video and the style as well. Don’t think I’d prefer it for every video but for bigger builds requiring narration over many shots it’s a great idea in my opinion.
This is such a well made video. A real break from Tkor’s style, and a genuine look into Nate
I honestly prefer using a longer driver bit for most things. It keeps the drill up out of your veiw so you can see what you're doing.
Loved the video.
Sometimes a table saw can bind on the kick fence if the the blade you are using is narrower than the width of the fence. It's usually only a couple thousandths off, but it's enough to make it bind.
I enjoyed this a lot. I love it when your snark comes out. 😆
You did an awesome job on that table.
The nice thing about mdf is that it is basically sawdust and glue. Which means if you need to fix a cut like you made near 8:10, you can mix sawdust and glue into a paste, use painters tape to make 1 barrier, fill in the cut, smooth it out and cover with the other piece of painters tape, let it set up and the slot machine is filled
Okay, this was hilarious ! Thank you!
turned out really good.
Hey those cards are dope, nice man!
Very clever hot glue trick! Nicely done! The important thing is not that you make no mistakes, but that you recover well from the mistakes you inevitably make!
hello New friend here from Perú 🇵🇪 nice job. Cecilia
You could have used the blue tape truck for fitting the lid to the struts. Blue tape stuck to each surface and then ca glue to hold them together in the right spot while closed, then open it up and mark for screws.
I have that table saw. There are adjustment set screws on the table top to adjust where to stop the blade at 90 and 45.
Fun! Thank you
This was a great video!
Hi Nate first time commenter. I for one liked the content, if you do more of this vatiety you will learn from your mistakes previously made or watch how some others do cartain thing. I like the mixture of content from foods to harware to metalwork. My background is in IT but this channel gives me an out when i need a break.. KEEP IT GOING onwards and upwards. Cheers
Thank you for learning on the video. Yes, I enjoyed the video.
"I'm more of a...... Just go" Seems like a nice quote to put on a tshirt
I'm loving the humor in this one though. With the carefree explanations and the jokes in between
The edits get better and better each video. 😂
Loved the video man, you are getting better and better at this and that's the goal
I would love to see what you come up with for a logo!
Nate you are just like me!
I measure once than cut but then realise I have made a big mistake in my measurement. My only problem is I have the plan in my mind never on paper with measurements that's where I go wrong. I curse and cust most of all I swear . My blood begins to boil when you going to blow your top off. I was always told you learn from your mistakes if you realise want you have done wrong. Why not build yourself drafting board this you can put plans on paper. All the best Nate and God bless.
Awesome bro. Thanks
First awesome to show your human and can make mistakes as well. Also awesome you show the mistakes and problem solving things as well.
Next suggestion you need to design the ultimate pusher stick or get one of those that fits in the grooves of your table saw from camera views made the cring thing happen a lot.
Lastly suggestion when you talked about the mistake of running the saw through the sides you cut a sliver off a board should've cut a couple small pieces glued and tapped them in place would've fillthe cuts and still would've been noticeable but not as noticeable.
Hope the day never comes I find this at the DI but if you ever do sign it first...
It really is a simple but awesome piece of furniture
Hey Nate..from I can see, and I'm no wood worker myself. But I think you did ok on your first time building and designing your own furniture piece.
There's always a learning curve.
Love the lift top!
Thank you nate for this great video. From the first video I saw of you on TKOR i said to my self "This guy has a huge future"" I kid you not, Thats what I said. Thanks again friend for all your hard work
We would LOVE to see more videos like this, and shirts are a great idea! If I may pitch a quick idea, "Nate from the Internet" maybe a screen or monitor outline with a silhouette of you in a pose inside it. It's a thought. :)
I sell custom furniture & although I'm not an expert on the construction side of things, I'd say this is a job well done. I like learning about this sort of stuff in order to be a more reliable & informative salesperson. I also would like to start doing things like this & being a bit more hands on. Probably just as a useful hobby. And I also enjoy any video with Nate in it so it's a win win haha nice video, looking forward to more!
hey nate would appreciate next time you equalise the volume of the audio between pre and post filming because i had to cycle the volume between the audio parts
I need a table like that!
I tried building a melamine MDF enclosure for my boa constrictor. I live in an apartment. Would have been fine if I had the place cut it first, but I didn't and I live in an apartment, with no panel saw, track saw, etc. I need new wood/HDPE or something now... Lol. So I feel you. Fun vid tho!
When u used lifts and hot glue. Just put paint on lifts. Shows where to screw. Both work
Very nice coffee table
I liked the video and have always just really enjoyed you as a host; as long as you keep being you, I'll keep watching!
