Jay, your video production gets better and better. You present things so clearly it makes for a pleasurable learning experience and your humour (U.K.) really comes through in your post effects! Thanks.
Jason Copsey Couldn't agree more about Jay's skills, production and presentation (I was reading comments to make sure I didn't copy what others had said and you beat me to it). Don't understand the uk humour bit though.
Went to the pyramids 25ish years ago so thank you for reminding me...YOUR BACK... Full video on a fantastic project, yeehaw!!! I can't do woodworking, no room. All I have is my small, rented one bed flat so I'm learning silversmithing and about to start leather crafting. But I love watching your builds, your attention to detail, skill and pure love of the craft come shinning through and enlivens me and many others. You're a real insperation to us, so thank you from the heart.
My interest in these videos is in the process of creating, in the personal idiosyncracy how to explain how they are made, and I can only say that I really like how you (and your twin brother) do things. Congratulations!
Beautiful, thoughtful, and thorough. It's what keeps me coming back and watching your videos over and over. Thank you Jay for creating such high quality content - it's always a pleasure to watch.
While I tune in to learn a few things, I just love the Easter Eggs you leave in your videos. Just adds to the entertainment of the videos. Thanks for the entertainment!
Jay, just wanted to say thanks for making a video where you make something useful for the home. It seems like 90% of woodworking videos on TH-cam are just woodworkers using their tools to make more tools. It starts to become..what's the point here if you don't make something actually useful for everday. Thanks!
Long-time-subscriber, just felt compelled today to pass along how appreciative of I am of all your effort and style. This is a great, detailed vid. I learn a ton from your videos. Looking forward to all your future projects.
Great video and project! I'm not usually a fan of staining either, but you're totally right about picking your battles. It does look good in your house though. I really like that look of leaving the pieces 1/8" proud and putting a slight chamfer on them.
I really miss this type of content. Don't get me wrong, I love the vlogs and watch all your content. However, most woodworkers on youtube seem to be skewing the ratio more in favor of vlogs rather than build videos. I wish that weren't so. The build videos really inspire me to get in my shop and make some sawdust. Thanks for the great content!
Great job Jay! It is awesome seeing your work and your shop coming along as it is. I feel like its a fake video because the lack of flying sawdust! Well done sir.
I always appreciate the detailed descriptions not only of what you are doing but the why as well. BTW I did pause and read the note, will be waiting for my refund check. Cheers!
What I've learned with using hardwood is as long as it's all one species (Hickory in your case) the color variation will look natural & I think looks really good! nice looking shelf Jay👍
missed the refund text, but caught the pyramids and the plane... ;-) Love these extra touches, Jay, thanks! I saw the stain test on IG and I agree that you made the right choice!
Got excited when I saw this on IG. I love extended joinery and chamfered edges!! Good job on the design, it's a good lookin shelf. Now I'll watch the video.
Did some half laps at the weekend for a garden bench leg frame. Accidentaly came across the overhang idea myself, lack of skill and willingness to plane down pallet timber for the rustic look. It does give a bit more character to something. and saved me a headache.
Awesome video, the plant stand came out so sweet l like how you kept your joints just proud and chamfered really nice touch. And I thought the stain came out great.
you've inspired me to start carpentering.... and you look just like my brother!!! I've slabbed wood for about 8 years now but never built anything just sold slabs..never had the patience, or direction that you have..... I built my own sawmill though from scrap. If I could send you some rustic slabs let me know if you could just mention Three Rivers Wood Yard for me.
Great video Jay, I really appreciate and enjoyed the extra details you provided in this video. I am definitely interested in your course videos, I just don't need a dovetail box for now, but I will keep on an eye for future stuff. Thanks!
Happy wife.... My wife saw the shelves and said that that's just what we need to bring some of our plants indoors for the winter "but we need space to put them in first..." So, yeah, that'll be me making shelves and cupboards to move the stuff she wants in storage to make space for more shelves for plants. *mutters* Just keep saying happy wife, happy life... *mutters* ;) Great build Jay! Enjoyed it!
Jay where have you been? Your videos aren't as frequent anymore.. your movies are the best out there. I check my TH-cam app daily praying that you have made a new movie
I've slowed down. Working a ton of hours for little pay sucks. I can slow down and enjoy life more for the same little pay :) ...or start doing sponsored videos which I really don't want to do.
Great video. I think I'll do something similar for my wife. Unfortunately, it will have to be much bigger because she is really into plants but I since it will go in our sunroom (AKA my wood shop) I can make it more of a shop project. I am definitely going to check out your dovetail box course.
HAHA, You started out with "Winter is coming..." .I thought it was going to be a G.O.T. stab . Oh well. Yes winter is coming. Gets cold up here in the mid west. Any way, great video , always love your work and video editing. The pyramids and such was a nice touch. Thumbs up.
Interesting build. I think after seeing the hickory up close, I may have gotten some hickory pallet wood on my last run. I've been trying to identify several species of wood, gone are the days of just pine and oak, I now have walnut, maple, redwood (possibly) and apparently...hickory. Picked up some good tips from your video, thanks!
Nice build Jay, missed you watching the glue dry eating Cheezits. Happy wife, happy life huh? Yeah okay get back to me in twenty years if I am still here.
Good Looking for a 'Utilitarian' shelf. Again a learned tip with the square laid on the bench to assist with lay out. I us the old style hand screw wooden clamps laded on there side to hold wood vertical for jobs like gluing.
Cool build! Do you think you could do some sort of axonometric assembly drawing in the future when describing the project in the beginning? It was kind of hard to understand how the shelves attach when you started. Obviously if you don't have time to do that it's no big deal but I think it would make your plans easier to read.
Jay, your video production gets better and better. You present things so clearly it makes for a pleasurable learning experience and your humour (U.K.) really comes through in your post effects! Thanks.
Jason Copsey Couldn't agree more about Jay's skills, production and presentation (I was reading comments to make sure I didn't copy what others had said and you beat me to it). Don't understand the uk humour bit though.
Andrew Cartlidge just calling out the uk spelling of the word humour.

I like your pyramid on the garage door! It's the little things like this that make your videos stand out from the other.
My interest in these videos is in the process of creating, in the personal idiosyncracy how to explain how they are made, and I can only say that I really like how you (and your twin brother) do things. Congratulations!
I like the look of the stain on this one Jay. Gave it a nice warm look and blended the variations of the wood. Thanks for all the detail you provide..
Beautiful, thoughtful, and thorough. It's what keeps me coming back and watching your videos over and over. Thank you Jay for creating such high quality content - it's always a pleasure to watch.
While I tune in to learn a few things, I just love the Easter Eggs you leave in your videos. Just adds to the entertainment of the videos. Thanks for the entertainment!
I really appreciate the extra hours you pour into your videos to take them from informative to entertaining and artful as well.
That sneaky pyramid you added on your garage door? MF, that's gold.
Really enjoying the long format videos. Your craftsmanship really shines in these.
I really like how patient a teacher you are. Your craft is amazing. Cheers

Thanks!
The proud half-laps were a very nice detail.
Well done!!!
Thanks for the added detail on handling the wood movement.
Really nice project Jay. The way the bevels come into the corner really looks cool!
Long-time-subscriber, just felt compelled today to pass along how appreciative of I am of all your effort and style. This is a great, detailed vid. I learn a ton from your videos. Looking forward to all your future projects.
Jay, I subscribe to a ton of woodworking channels, and yours is starting to become my favorite.
Great video and project! I'm not usually a fan of staining either, but you're totally right about picking your battles. It does look good in your house though. I really like that look of leaving the pieces 1/8" proud and putting a slight chamfer on them.
The shaving with the Hand plane was awesome!!!
hey you've got a plane that will do the same!
bigscreen bird Yes I do Bird!!
Jay this is a really beautiful shelf. Love the angles and how the half laps are proud. It's absolutely stunning!
Love the longer form, more detailed and advanced skills content Jay! Great to see your channel grow and change over the years.
I really appreciate how much work you put into your videos. Really top notch.
I really miss this type of content. Don't get me wrong, I love the vlogs and watch all your content.

Excellent Video! The joinery really sets the piece. It didn't feel like a long video to me, thoroughly enjoyed it
Great project, I dig your long form videos and liked all the nuggets.

Great job Jay! It is awesome seeing your work and your shop coming along as it is. I feel like its a fake video because the lack of flying sawdust! Well done sir.
I always appreciate the detailed descriptions not only of what you are doing but the why as well. BTW I did pause and read the note, will be waiting for my refund check. Cheers!
Jay great project. I really enjoyed you taking the time to explain your design ideas/process.
Excellent job! Your video productions are on par with your woodworking skills! Keep em' coming!
What I've learned with using hardwood is as long as it's all one species (Hickory in your case) the color variation will look natural & I think looks really good! nice looking shelf Jay👍
Fantastic. Jay would make a great modern day woodwork teacher in a college or school.
missed the refund text, but caught the pyramids and the plane... ;-) Love these extra touches, Jay, thanks!
I saw the stain test on IG and I agree that you made the right choice!
Thank you, Art.
Got excited when I saw this on IG. I love extended joinery and chamfered edges!!
Good job on the design, it's a good lookin shelf.
Now I'll watch the video.
never realized you can see Cairo from the shop, great build Jay
I got really excited when I heard the first coin ding sound effect! Great project Jay!
Thank you Jay, I'm glad to spend my time reading these thing. Greetings from Mexicali, Mexico.
"because a happy wife,, happy life", nice words sir!
Did some half laps at the weekend for a garden bench leg frame. Accidentaly came across the overhang idea myself, lack of skill and willingness to plane down pallet timber for the rustic look. It does give a bit more character to something. and saved me a headache.
Awesome video, the plant stand came out so sweet l like how you kept your joints just proud and chamfered really nice touch. And I thought the stain came out great.
Thanks for the commentary on allowing for expansion/contraction.
Good to see you Jay. Awesome project as always.
Good stuff jay! like the longer videos, and the double jays. Much more of a "class room" feel to it!
you've inspired me to start carpentering.... and you look just like my brother!!! I've slabbed wood for about 8 years now but never built anything just sold slabs..never had the patience, or direction that you have..... I built my own sawmill though from scrap. If I could send you some rustic slabs let me know if you could just mention Three Rivers Wood Yard for me.
Very nice build! I really like the design of the piece. I get a kick out of your fun editing! Keep up the great work.
I think it's gorgeous, man.
Love the longer process explanations on this video, too.
Hi Jay. Your videos are You are a good teacher.always so informative.
Great video and explanation along the way. Really enjoy watching your videos Jay.
Great work Jay. A simple but rewarding ( the whole happy wife thing) project. And I love having the Mario music back!!
Nice looking shelves and great editing!
Nice build, the stain looks awesome!
Omg the shadow plane killed me
When do they bury you?
Ha I like the subtle pyramid garage door graphic, when talking about subtle pyramid design
Perfect video! This is very similar to what I’m trying to do for my wife’s record stand (angled half-lap), so this is really helpful!
Great video Jay, I really appreciate and enjoyed the extra details you provided in this video. I am definitely interested in your course videos, I just don't need a dovetail box for now, but I will keep on an eye for future stuff. Thanks!
Winter is not coming Jay, winter is here.
You do great work. Want to see more videos.👍
Great video Jay, thanks for taking the time to walk through a lot of the setup considerations.
Excellent work as always, Jay.
Love the Game of Thrones reference... Really enjoy your videos and look forward to putting together my own shop once we move to our new home!
Happy wife.... My wife saw the shelves and said that that's just what we need to bring some of our plants indoors for the winter "but we need space to put them in first..."
So, yeah, that'll be me making shelves and cupboards to move the stuff she wants in storage to make space for more shelves for plants. *mutters* Just keep saying happy wife, happy life... *mutters*
;) Great build Jay! Enjoyed it!
Great video, I enjoyed the longer format.
Great build. And thanks for the tip about designing with the pyramid philosophy. Very good tip! (Love the not-quite-half-laps!)
Super MARIO sound effects are back, awesome!
Nice detailed build Jay!
Beautiful "utilitarian" piece Jay!
Great video. As always, informative, easy to watch and listen too.
hey! love the red wings! can't wait to see some games in the new stadium
Awesome video, thanks Jay. I have had a similar design in mind for some bathroom shelves, and this really helped me realize some of the details.
Jay where have you been? Your videos aren't as frequent anymore.. your movies are the best out there. I check my TH-cam app daily praying that you have made a new movie
I've slowed down. Working a ton of hours for little pay sucks. I can slow down and enjoy life more for the same little pay :) ...or start doing sponsored videos which I really don't want to do.
Jay Bates 100% understandable. Well it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
You have a beautiful view of the great pyramids out your garage door.
Great video. I think I'll do something similar for my wife. Unfortunately, it will have to be much bigger because she is really into plants but I since it will go in our sunroom (AKA my wood shop) I can make it more of a shop project. I am definitely going to check out your dovetail box course.
Great Video Jay. Well put together (both video and piece). Thanks.
Ok, so now you have a "Where's Waldo?" type of exercise in your videos - brilliant :)
Long videos version is perfect ! Thanks a lot bro

I share your dislike for staining pieces but that color came out great. Another great video
I really like how you used a spatula for glue up, going to use that.
+Peter Kransz 2" putty knife.
Great video Jay. I can use some of what you showed for a similar project I am working on. Thanks!
Awesome video Jay! Those 20 minutes flew by. But... Where's the Star Wars??
hidden.
Great video and project. I learned a lot from this one
What you call utilitarian furnature is what I call my "hope I get to that level" furnature.
awesome format ! really cool video!
Another great video. No refund required.
Nice build Jay, missed you watching the glue dry eating Cheezits. Happy wife, happy life huh? Yeah okay get back to me in twenty years if I am still here.
Very well done, Jay. I'm sure the wife will be pleased. My wife always enjoys what I make for her. HWHL.
that came out great. loved it.
He seems like a cross between norm Abram and mini me. A pint size Carpenter. Nice work little fella
Nice piece of furniture.
Great video, excellent detail
Good Looking for a 'Utilitarian' shelf. Again a learned tip with the square laid on the bench to assist with lay out. I us the old style hand screw wooden clamps laded on there side to hold wood vertical for jobs like gluing.
Great job Jay !!!.
Cool build! Do you think you could do some sort of axonometric assembly drawing in the future when describing the project in the beginning? It was kind of hard to understand how the shelves attach when you started. Obviously if you don't have time to do that it's no big deal but I think it would make your plans easier to read.
Refund please ;) Nice fading pyramids, and I caught a bit of Star Wars :) Fun!
