I dig projects like this, I have all these tools myself and the project turned out well. I think you appeal to a larger audience when. You do this and you make wood working seem more affordable and attainable. I know you have skills to do something fancier, but a lot more people can identify with a project like this.
Love this! As a guy just starting out with this sort of DIY, I really appreciate you making a project with more basic and affordable tools. Definitely gonna try this!
Definitely going to try to make this with my dad for my room! What I would try to make is two tables (different hights) so that they could "slide" under eachother, but not fully. In that way I have two tables that I can use. Btw, love your videos! So fun to watch with my dad who is a carpenter that makes furniture. Gives him loads of inspiration and tips and tricks!!:)
Who needs expensive tools and immaculate work shops! Well designed and executed. We can all remember out first days with few tools and limited abilities: but look at us now!
Mike, can you show us where you put all of these amazing projects after you finish them? I would imagine that you have a pretty slick house/apt at this point!
Impressive what you can build with a circular saw! Great project mike! You think about everything, to the pocket holes facing the back of the table, and also love the simple plywood track.
I'm about to make 2 of these soon. I already made the mid-century modern tv stand on your channel but added my own flavor. I gotta say I am in love with the piece and this piece with the tv stand is going to be fire! Thanks Mike!
Great video! I love how you run into issues like I do like not having masking tape and used dowels to reinforce a not so perfect miter which is always my issue! Thanks for a great video!
A tip on the miters that I never knew until recently: cut slightly over 45 deg by about 0.5 deg. This will ensure that the outside edges touch at the corners.
Sweet build man - awesome to see how cool the legs came out with just the saw. I literally just did something like this doing miters with the circular saw and damn is hard to get exactly 45° so props for getting as close as you did haha. Definitely can be done (as you demonstrated), but I think like all limited tool stuff, you gotta be open to things not being perfect. Cheers
omg im loving your channel!!!! especially since im quarentined and i have always wanted to learn how to wood work and make things!!! thanks for all the help =) so many great ideas!!!!
Another great build, Mike. Nice work! You should invest in a good digital angle measure which you can use to make sure your blade is actually at 45 degrees, rather than relying on the manufacturer's gauge. I have one and it's great for mitres ("miters" in the US!)
I had the same issue with the circular saw and table saw not being perfectly at 45 degrees, I used my miter saw and used a 2x2 piece of wood to make a perfectly cut 45 degree triangle and I use that to check my circular and table saws to ensure they are as close to 45 degrees as possible.
Everything is awesome, even the miters. To be a great crafter is to be able to perfectly fix and hide imperfections, not To be perfect at your craft. Awesome job as usual.
not sure if its my computer /screen settings, but the majority of the exposure seemed blown out a bit so might recommend bringing it down an exposure or two, and the text where it said the steps I couldn't read, maybe a better contrasting color ?
Man that is a nice build bro.. idea, do you think that you could do one of these and put a wireless charger build into the top so you could charge your devices.
Are those harbor freight bar clamps? Do you like them? They're so much cheaper than other ones I just want to make sure they're worth it! Great build! Impressive work with only a cordless circular.
Nice build, simplified without complicated joints. I think you can blame your miters on the saw, I don't think it's very accurate. I upgraded my miter saw from 10"king Canada brand to 12" dewalt and it made a huge difference. You can still cut things wrong with it but it's just much more precise when you do :) cheers.
Could you make a joinery video? I've noticed you like using dowels. I think making a video showing us the many uses of different joinery would be cool.
the level of sloppiness, lack of tools and end result destroyed all my excuses for not doing my nightstand project. You are insane!
God damn, that leather handle is an amazing finishing touch. It's so simple but looks great on its own and really ties the piece together.
Thanks a lot man!
This looks great. I'm always impressed with what you are able to accomplish without tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools. Very inspirational.

Cool simple project :) and it's nice to see a builder that admit and shows his/her failures and learn from it
Love this! As a guy just starting out with this sort of DIY, I really appreciate you making a project with more basic and affordable tools. Definitely gonna try this!
Nothing is perfect in this world, I think the builds you do are tops! Always great watching you do these projects!!

Mike, this turned out AWESOME! Love the maple choice and all of the details, leather pull, etc. solid build!
Really cool making it all with a circular saw. And I like how the leather draw pull turned out. Very cool
Thanks brother!
Despite the joint snafu, looks really cool! Agree that the dowels are a great contrast!
Wow its hot outside, cant think of anything to..... Yay!!! New modern builds video
"A four-sided square" :). Great job - looks awesome!
Haha! Didn't even realize it until now
Actually a four sided rectangle.
Cool build Mike. Sweet drawer pull. Mid Century ROCKS!
Looking forward to grabbing some merch...c'mon payday.Really like how the wood-leather and brass colours come together.
Nice! Thanks Lee. Yeah, you can't beat that combo haha
that leather trim...just perfect!
There is no person alive that could be your hype man. Awesome build, love the podcast.
Haha!! Thanks Jason
leather and colour of the wood match perfectly....thanks for sharing with us
Damn, that leather handle really pulls it all together, nice touch Mike! Keep it up!
Nice pun!!
I love the harbor freight clamps and tape measure! Such great value!
Yeah, those var clamps are awesome for the price
Straight forward build! Awesome work!
Nice job Mike! 👍
Thanks a lot brother
Love the maple. Very clean simple design. Looks fantastic. Great job.
Very well done Modern Builds. Keep going....
Shop cat! Awesome project dude. Turned out great. Love that leather pull!
Haha! I heard you're not legit unless you have a cat running around all the time lol
A tip on the miters that I never knew until recently: cut slightly over 45 deg by about 0.5 deg. This will ensure that the outside edges touch at the corners.
Nice one Mike.
I'd rather spend time in setup than in filling and sanding. I guess you don't hate sanding as much as most of us. :-P
Wow, cool project Mike!
Fantastic build, it has been cool to see the types of projects you do grow as your channel has grown.
Very nice side table
Beautiful and simple, really inspiring as always!
Looks nice. That's why I usually pick up a roll of blue tape every time
Very nice. Great job! You could cut the legs with some curves and it would change the look a bit.
Great job bro, live the drawer slides, I too enjoy making my own.
Sweet build man - awesome to see how cool the legs came out with just the saw. I literally just did something like this doing miters with the circular saw and damn is hard to get exactly 45° so props for getting as close as you did haha.

yeah, I saw that on your shelf build! I think you're right on with that point on the limited tool stuff
This turned out great!
Nice!!! I like the leather handle also. 👍
Super duper awesome!
Very bealtifull!!! Congratulations!!!
This looks awesome!
Nice work Mark 😉
Nice looking end table. I like the leather strap. I've seen it before but not many places. Good choice on that for the pull
Thanks Bruce. Yeah, for the 5 minutes it took to make I think it's really cool
Really nice, sleek design. I think a mod of this would do great double duty as a cable hider.
Man, that looks good! Nice job!
Rad build brother! I like that leather pull. Thanks for sharing.
P.S. I'm excited to see your super expensive mirror build.
Haha! Soon
congrats on 400k, love your projects and videos, they're so interesting and entertaining
Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it
Looks great!!
well done!!!i learned a few tricks!
Cool idea for the leather strap. Haven't seen that yet!
Thanks man
Got my stickers from ya the other day. Thanks for the bonus and the nice personal note! Keep up the awesome videos!
omg im loving your channel!!!! especially since im quarentined and i have always wanted to learn how to wood work and make things!!! thanks for all the help =) so many great ideas!!!!

Lol this furniture reminds me of the furniture often in the Sims 3 game. Lol so cool.

Congrats you made 49 on the Trending List!!!!!! 😀
Hey!! That's awesome
Absolutely love it
Thanks!!
Very nice man!
outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mike, I'm curious on what you're using this for? Nightstand, end table, or side table? Nicely done brother
Hi Mike
How are you?
Great job and beautiful project as others.
Congratulations.
Another project I Need!! Thanks a bunch!!
love your very neat work 😊
Everything is awesome, even the miters. To be a great crafter is to be able to perfectly fix and hide imperfections, not To be perfect at your craft. Awesome job as usual.
Loved it!
HE'S THE BEST!
Hope did Mike make the little inserts for the holes he drilled ?
Brilliant
This guy needs a TV show on HGTV sponsored by Ryobi of course :)
Cut your miters at 44.9° and you'll have a lot better luck with the outside corner touching.
not sure if its my computer /screen settings, but the majority of the exposure seemed blown out a bit so might recommend bringing it down an exposure or two, and the text where it said the steps I couldn't read, maybe a better contrasting color ?
Awesome side table mike! 😏 It would look great beside my bed !!
Cat supervised 😉!
Got my merch and I'm lovin it
Yes!! Thanks brother
Definitely interested in building this, but do you have a more detailed cutlist with measurements?
Man that is a nice build bro.. idea, do you think that you could do one of these and put a wireless charger build into the top so you could charge your devices.
That would be really cool!
Mate,that was really nice builds.really cool looking Mid-Century end table.great results,mate.job well done.Cheers!!
Love the design and the contrast between the leather pull and the really light colored wood! Also did you get a new tattoo???
Thanks!! I did!
Looks great! What is it if you don't mind me asking?
Sweet!

😍😍 this man.
Very nice.. 😊😊
Could you make a joinery video? I've noticed you like using dowels. I think making a video showing us the many uses of different joinery would be cool.
Amazing 😍
Love this!! I would have used darker colour wood for the dowels to match the colour of the leather however.
just casually bingeing on your channel...
Hi! The link for the Written step by step plans doesn't work 😢 I would love to have them. Great work!
😍 Lovely!
I can’t wait until I’m skilled enough to do these projects
Love the vid and channel! Can’t find the plans anywhere though (tried the Ryobi Nation link). Know where I can find them?
Looks good man. What is the darker strip at the front of the cabinet? It almost looks like a different color wood.
Thanks man! it's just a stripe in the grain of the wood. I thought it looked cool so I made it towards the front of the piece to show it off
Love your creativity man! Try using epoxy and sawdust sometime. See how you like it! I find it looks a little more natural. Good stuff.
