A couple of points, If you can make clean, straight, flat cut, then you dont need the pocket screws or dowels, the glue alone would be more than enough with proper clamping. Which leads to the clamps, while technically those squeeze clamps will clamp a joint together enough for the glue to hold it, they dont apply enough clamping pressure to create a sufficient glue only joint (so in this project, the screws and dowels were a good backup to add). Apart from a few quality brands of squeeze clamps, a screw clamp like a F-Clamp style is required to get the right amount of clamping pressure required to create a properly bonded glue join. And lastly a reasonable quality "Brad Point" drill bit set would be a good investment, as you will never be able to get an accurate hole with standard drill bits, while you can get "good enough" you will be surprised at how much of a difference Brad Points will make when drilling wood. Not meant as a judgement, just a "Incase your not aware". sorry if it comes across a bit condescending.
Thank you for all of the information! I’m building my tool supplies slowly but surely. I'm starting to save to invest in better-quality tools as well! I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough message with great points!
Thank you for adding your suggestions including why they work better. It really helps all of us improve. Even when a suggestion isn’t necessarily better, it’s helpful to know multiple ways to achieve similar results. The piece turned out beautiful.
Really nice work! Instead of pocket holes, one option would've been to cut through mortises on your legs with your router and added tenons to your template. You might not have had enough width on your board but I wanted to throw that option out since you asked. Again, great work!
No, thank you! That's a great point! I know I’m still learning and definitely wouldn’t say I’m a pro. That's why I love sharing and being part of this community because I get to learn from fellow woodworkers or people who have way more knowledge than I do! 🤎
Thank you! ☺️ My orbital sander is by Skils and I also used my SurfPrep 3" X 4" Electric Ray Sander for the curve parts. The vacuum attachment is from Rockler and it's the “FlexiPort Power Tool Hose Kit with Click-Connect & expandable hose”

You do beautiful design and woodcraft. The curvy ruler is like a magic wand in your hands.
Thank you and I'm so here for this comment! Doesn't everyone want to be a magician? 😂

Thanks so much! This was definitely a fun project to do! 🤎

What sander and vacuum attachment are you using?
Thank you! ☺️ My orbital sander is by Skils and I also used my SurfPrep 3" X 4" Electric Ray Sander for the curve parts. The vacuum attachment is from Rockler and it's the “FlexiPort Power Tool Hose Kit with Click-Connect & expandable hose”
@@thecolibridesign excellent. Thank you so much!!
Dude!!! This is so good
Thanks, Holly! I had a lot of fun with it!

Do you work for a furniture company?
I have a good sense of design.
Nope, this is just something that I enjoy doing on my own.
My only complaint is that you don’t have more videos
I’m slowly, but surely creating them! 😆
I appreciate you being here!
