Your willingness to share disasters is appreciated. Makes me consider my own gluey messes as part of good company. Thanks! 😊
Agreed. Whenever someone compliments something my husband and I built, I tell them we had to build a lot of crap in the past to learn.
Brad Lemmond Yup! I keep learning every day... 😊. (He says as he washes the glue from his eyelashes...)
@@OfficialXIDenmark So THAT'S what that song is about! I always thought it had to do with JFK'S assassination, though I have no idea where I got that idea from...
Way off topic but I loved seeing your Cameo on Technology Connections, my two favorite TH-cam personalities in the same spot.
That wood is BROWN!
Well, more like a dark orange...
@@TechnologyConnections hello there
@@TechnologyConnections suddenly I'm a 45 year old man who is star struck by his brief encounter with greatness of a different TH-cam channel personality on an obscure TH-cam channel by a much less obscure TH-cam channel personality. This will absolutely be the highlight of my day!
Holy crap, I watched that video and didn't even notice; the look the same! They must be related.
you sure it's brown I think it's just dark orange lol
" How do you make a small fortune?" "Well, first you start with a large one". Sounds like every start-up that I've had.😕
Sounds to me like underdone woodworking project. I mean Under Dunn
Junior Johnson, from NASCAR fame, once said “you have to spend a small fortune to make a bigger fortune”…
You have invented the Sawdust Cannon (at 6:35)! Congratulations! LOL! Love how you share the embarrassing moments along with the building - enjoyable and informative! Keep on building!
I love your energetic style of editing and presenting! It's always so rhythmic.
Nice work again!
na hes just a jumper from that movie jumper lol hes to lazy to walk around so instead he teleports himself around instead
God I always love those screwing time-lapse /montages
Me too, I love when Fast Robert.
After watching SO MANY TH-cam videos of people who's skills VASTLY exceed my own, it is refreshing and entertaining to watch someone who I have a lot more in common with. You sir, are my workshop spirit animal. Thank You!
Your honesty ollows others to learn from your mistakes and quite frankly is refreshing...
These videos are fantastic, keeps me at the edge of my seat. I never know until the end how many fingers you had left to use for editing.
LOL.. I thought the same thing about his fingers
Your videos always put a smile on my face, it's like watching myself doing things wrong but with nicer tools and better explanations to why it didn't turn out nice!
I absolutely died at 5:05. "Im from the future." :)
the best part he is from the future he's a time traveler muhahahahaha
I think it was that and him climbing onto the newly made shelving and going "okay good night!" that got me
I read this comment beforehand and was patiently waiting for 5:05 and still DIED rofl.. He's hilarious
You are quickly becoming my favorite woodworking video guy. I get your humor!
It's really refreshing to see your approach to making stuff, even showing the things not going exactly to plan - normal day-to-day working that is true to life. Thank you.
3:40 I love this so much
Crawling into the shelves, I cant help but imagine "oh the things I do for a bit" is the only thing going through your head!
One of the reasons I cried (a tiny bit) with laughter is that I have made very similar mistakes. Great table. Decent shelves. Fantastic video.
I do enjoy the the fact you don’t hide your mistakes, I feel right at home watching your videos
Suggestion for the 3 leftover pieces:
You could use them to make a bench seat. Use 1 for the seat and the remaining 2 for the backrest.
I guess he could also use one for the seat and the other two for screwing up while cutting or attaching the seat. :)
Third option for the bench: one becomes the seat, one becomes the legs, and one becomes the stretcher under the seat and between the legs. With a little firewood left over.
Back in the day, 30 yrs+, I started making furniture with a jig saw a collection of hand tools in a spare 10X12 bedroom and absolutely no idea what I was doing. I've gotten better but this video makes me nostalgic. Thanks for the memories.
"Matthias Wandel would be very disappointed in me"....gotta love it!
Maybe as a fellow Missourian, I think I enjoy your personality in your videos a bit too much.
I could have done this in only about 17 days with twice the waste. Thanks for another honest project video.
"I got for free at my last job" sure does seem like a recurring theme on this channel.
My most favorite timelapse editing style. Love it
That band saw break sounded painful.
Robert: Honey? Yeah, can you come out to the shop? I'm trapped in some shelves I made... I appreciate you not asking why... or taking pictures.
(also: am I the only one who felt REALLY anxious everytime he reached over the still spinning saw to knock off the extra pieces of wood? Because holy cow, please no.)
The camera angle made my hand look much closer to the blade than it really was
@@UnderDunnOfficial Thanks for saying that, I was starting to think I was about to see one of those gory safety videos re-enacted in IRL detail.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Shake hands with danger. I think you know the music.
@@WayneMoyer indeed _(Proceeds to imitate thwangy Guitar riff.)_
I admit I cringed a little when I saw that. Oops, oh, well. I have other fingers.
00:00 - 00:30 : UnderDunn Hardcore History
Annnddd hilarity ensues!! You never fail to amuse. Thanks for this. Wonderful video, storytelling, and editing. Thank you.
2:24 Presentation is everything. 😎
I, too, like the little biscuits on the end of the table.
"So basically what I did was I got 6 very long 2x10s, did a bunch of work and ended up with 3 short ones". 🤣
This is becoming one of my favorite wood working channels. I can really identify with Robert.
the editing on these is refreshing hahaha bravo
That intro was great! Never change man, never change.
I sooooooo appreciate you admitting and showing a major 'failure.' As a novice woodworker I get a bit frustrated with how perfect every project video goes. Also, we freaking love both of your channels. We we're recommended the Lada video a couple of nights ago and couldn't resist. Since then we've watched a lot of videos from both your channels. Never imagined I'd ever watch someone rebuild a car engine.. but the Trabant series, that's good entertainment!!!
Glad I watched this; I was literally on the verge of doing the exact same thing as top #1 for my own work bench. It made perfect sense until I saw why it didn't!
Can be done as #1. Just glue in sections and use the right F style aluminum square body clamps. The latter will minimize his mistake since you can press the pieces on a flatish surface and make adjustments. Oh and at least double up on the amount or more of clamps. I used at least 7 to glue up a 4ft lamination of oak floor boards recently. Highly recommend cutting the grooves off as hardwood flooring is never cut even and you will have a huge bow. I had to pin my stressful 2ft glue up down with a piece of wood and the whole thing was still bowed like it was in the loony tunes cartoon. Instead of tossing that I just cut it in half and made them into low height saw horses for hard to handle material like my glue ups that need trimming!
I cannot comprehend how long it takes to make those screwing montages, but it still remains one of the greatest and most satisfying part of watching these videoes.
Right next to the multi-Dunn segments and punchy 1-liners
3:04 I wonder if he's going to prop that up. 3:15 - He'd better hold that up with his knee or something. 3:20 Doh! Robert!
I love your industrial sawing music so much!
This is fantastic. I always drop everything when I see you upload.
That's what she said...
How's life being verified on youtube?
@@veikkalahtinen5721 I'd give it up to be verified on Twitter, that's for sure
Every time I press Play on one of your videos, I expect to see you lose an appendage. You are like the Cinemax of woodworking, always the tease, never the sudden dismemberment...
There's thousands, if not hundreds, of woodworkers and carpenters who have missing fingers, etc, and a lifelong career
Love the Kreg jig. I don't call myself a woodworker by any stretch, but I built a table and bookshelf that I am very happy with thanks to pocket screws.
I honestly laughed more then I should have when the hose blew off the plainer.
Great solution to an old frustration. Thank you.
Jim Groce was a great songwriter. I put his song “Time in a Bottle” in my list as one of the best lyrics and songs of all time. 👏👏
"Just Like You, Dad" was the lyric that most resonated with me. Small planes and musicians haven;t ever mixed well- que in " The Day the Music Died"
@@fredericrike5974 Same with Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Denver, Otis Redding, Patsy Cline, etc. I suppose though when you need to fly constantly from venue to venue, your odds of being involved in a crash increase quite a bit sadly.
@@polski7781 Yes they do; but the odds of a crash seem to rise exponentially for musicians traveling in small planes. Those same sort of numbers apply to every thing we do- like driving, going to the movie, etc.
Time in a bottle was a great one. Have the album LP
It's always been Operator for me. He conveys first hope then resolve so strongly in the song.
I like your videos because you do things like a real person (like me, human and imperfect) and not some kind of woodworking god that never makes mistakes and/or edits them all out.
You win for Best Shelf Build Edit!
A pecan tree. That's nuts.
Nothing wrong with pocket holes. Good way to hide screws while being easy to dismantle and reassemble.
Even for nice projects, it's handy to completely build it, tear it down to sand, stain, and seal, and put it back together. Also makes it nice to refinish later.
Boy howdy, I’m not one to be all faint about table saw safety, but MAN. Some of the quick movements and close finger movements I just….phew
"I'm from the future!"
God I love you
Oh, I forgot to mention that the house I bought has a shop with that exact design of shelves. Nice and simple. I have even considered adding doors to a couple of the openings.
I love your video's so much and they make me laugh a LOT! The best bit, normally, is your screwing/cutting montages which must take day's of editing to complete! Thank you for all that editing, it's priceless 😂🤣😂🤣😥 I say that's normally the best bit, today that was stollen by your dog's, especially the one attacking the little trolley. AWESOME!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍👍👍
Not everyone has the talent nor ingenuity to turn perfectly good 2 x 10s into laminated 2 x 10s. All joking aside, I enjoyed the video and the fact that you show even professionals make opportunities for more work.
I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.
my failures in the shop always puts me down and frustrated. watching you work is helping with that, thanks for sharing, specially the struggles. We can only learn from our mistakes
You are just so much fun to watch. Thanks
I notice you never use a splitter on your tablesaw. I was cutting a 4*8 piece of 3/4" plywood and it somehow kicked back and the 3hp motor threw it back into my belly. Ouch and a 15" bruise hurt for days. I was lucky. Just an fyi. I like your videos and would like to see you make more.good humor and projects!
You are a master of editing! Love your sense of humor too.
nicely executed, both items and time-lapse assembly segments. Good vid.
I made a similar table top for a desk for a queen-size loft bed nearly 30 years ago. The loft bed is no more, but the table top still exists and has been repurposed a few times and is currently serving as a workbench top for my reloading presses. The difference was that I used 2x8s directly so that I had 1.5" of thickness instead of running them through a table saw (which I didn't have anyway) to rip them down. Dowels and glue to connect everything together and then a lot of belt sanding... :)
I bet it was a whole lot more sanding than you remember
FYI -- A piece of glass makes a very good dry erase board (if you insist it actually be white, paint the back side of it or put it against a white wall). Even if you make the mistake of using a permanent marker (i.e. "Sharpie"), it is easy to clean with just a bit of acetone on a paper towel. Sometimes, you will find people giving away large pieces of tempered glass for free on Craigslist. They might have previously been shelving or shower doors. Since the glass is tempered, they can't be cut down to use in a smaller size project, so people just give them away.
More entertaining than Johnny Carson in the 70s!!!
Love your continuity!
God I love your editing style. I've taken some inspiration, particularly in your use of overlaid clips and graduated masks in Final Cut. It's so much fun when you try something in editing and it actually works.
No doubt more planning for the video editing than for how to make a table top. Enjoyed it
Dammit man. Never stop what you do. Never.
I just found ur channel and I just love it, it’s always entertaining to watch
The triple show at 2:30 ish made me double glad I had subscribed, not even 20 mins ago, to someone I was sure was an M. Wandel fan. Great stuff
Well Done, this was a good watch...
I love your editing style!!
I thought you were going to say you made this table top out of that tree Jim Groce's airplane hit.
Use the table top mark I as bumpers around the shop. Place them at bumper height so you don't bump cars or equipment into the walls. Use them for aligning your car on the lift, getting it straight every time.
You have no idea how timely this channel is for me.
I just spent around 2 months basically building the second floor to my house and around mid way through I realized that I could make a TH-cam channel just out of building up the second floor from scratch.
And in the same week as I had that though, I found this channel. I love these vids!
Kinda regret not making videos of my own now. But codos to you for being smarter than me.
Also just have to say I love how you show your mistakes!
I don't find it funny (as in I don't laugh at you) but rather interesting & enjoy your creativity.
Also... Working on my old (Holden) Kingswood... that whole project is a steep learning curve full of mistakes & determination!! ^^
I like your honesty!
NGL those shelves are sweet.
Here is a little advice for you. After I did the same thing dropping the Arbor nut I epoxy a magnet on the end of the árbol (make sure that it is centered spin Arbor) you don't have to worry about dropping it any more.
I am inspired; you started with very little and made it a very amusing "little" and actually accomplished a great deal! Thanks!
Hi that is amazing job upscale from the worktable but it's a worry you may slip of fall reaching for timber pieces over a running saw blade.
I used the same technique as your successful attempt for creating a workbench top. Mine was perfectly flat at first, but after a month or so the individual 2x4s have all taken in moisture at different rates and my top is "wavy". I'm going to give it another month or two to stabilize further and then try flattening it with a handplane, but I think that's just what I get for using "whitewood" rather than good southern yellow pine.
I did make sure to design my bench in a way that enabled me to create a new top down the line, so I might just re-do it with maple at some point if I ever have the cash... :)
Matthias Wandel would also be very disappointed that you used wrong kind of push sticks!
I like your sense of humor
The best came at the end. Thanks for the scenes. When you were lying on the shelf, I thought "How the hell did he get in / out?
🤣
I like your content, you are a funny guy.
Greetings from Germany
Funny with your work, not afraid to show your mistakes, I subbed.
I just discovered your channel, wow you're quirky and relatable 🤣 I like your style!
6:36 the money shot lol
*Bleh* goes the planer.
I've very slowly learned to take out the bottom center screw last when removing panels like that.
Then there's a school of hard knocks.
I like you. You're funny. I will continue to watch your videos.
Thank you for answering the question “how did he get in there”
Oh my God... This is exactly how most of my projects actually end up going!
Honestly loving the mistakes and humour on the channel xD
This is the most entertaining AND instructional channel on TH-cam!👍👍 Robert, you must have been,without a doubt, the class clown in school.
I was really wanting to see you crawl into the shelves and was thinking it would be a struggle.... Then you show it which made my day and I do get to confirm it was in fact a struggle lmfao you are the best
Those short 2x10s you made are killer. You should sell them in mass
So Nice to watch your video’s
I’m waiting for having one of your cut edits, like where you are drilling your pocket holes, where you change your shirt for each piece. I wonder if anyone would notice.
I personally think seeing the biscuits on the end is pretty cool
Came for the woodworking.
Stayed for the manly sounds of distress.
0:47 3:35 4:14 6:36 14:41
I stayed for the 911 call
Jim's Throne Lives ON! Sign still there!
Haha a HubNut shirt spotted! One of my other favourite channels! Ian would be so pleased!
Great video and love that Presentation Station lmao
4:49 OK now you're just being shelfish.
