I play a drinking game when I watch your videos, called “then I made a jig”🤣 🍻. They are always so well done and thoughtful. Love the POPLAR.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hahahaha! Must have felt good after 😂 thanks!

[@dpd16790]

@@3x3CustomTamar If he drinks every time you make a jig in the video there is no way he makes it to the end of the video... lol

[@jackiemowery5243]

Every time you measure you introduce the chance of error in the reading or marking. Always make a jig for any repeated measurements.

If she makes a liquor cabinet, lets face it, you're screwed! ...But what a way to go! :D

[@grahamserle7930]

Woodworking is a about having a combination of ability, creativity and problem solving skills. Tamar, you have all of these in spades. Another nice job and again, you are the perfect teacher.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So awesome to hear. Thanks!!

[@johnday7362]

Threaded bolt trick: If you need to shorten a bolt, screw on the nut before cutting the bolt to correct size. If the bolt threads are damaged or mis aligned by cutting through the threads, removing the nut after cutting will realign the threads. This trick also works when filling or grinding a bolt end smooth after shortening the bolt length. Bonus tip: Use thread locker on all bolts where the bolted object vibrates. Use blue thread locker on occasionally removed bolts, use red thread locker on bolts you will infrequently remove.

[@AdamHughey]

Came to the comments to make this suggestion. What a wonderful build. I wish I could do work this nice. Here is to learning from more skilled folks. Thanks for the video!

[@SR-qg7hw]

Great tip! I always start with a mark then I either get it too short the first time or too long then when I go to shorten it I get it too short after all.

[@johnsanford3596]

The threadlock should also take the SIZE of the fastener into account. Using blue on small/very small fasteners is a recipe for heartache. Use purple. Yes, it exists, and it is weaker than blue. You want to booger-up that #6 pan head Philips machine screw? Use blue, come back in 3 months, and see how much damage you do.

[@xyzcreate]

I love the look of the clean black lines running through the piece. It really frames the whole thing nicely.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! It really draws your attention to the natural beauty of the elm ☺️

[@jennieanddavis]

The way you captured the top and shelf in the frame is genius. Definitely gonna steal that technique. AMAZING project, Tamar. Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone! -Davis

Thanks so much Davis! I was originally going to just attach it with dowels then a dream I had made me switch it up! Haha!

@Cash Alonzo Definitely, been using Kaldrostream for since november myself :)

[@MJKCreations]

I love these videos of yours. They include details about why you do things that are non-obvious, but make a huge difference in the final product. It would have taken me forever to even think of making the grain flow in the same direction around a piece, for example, and yet here it is, called out, and showing beautiful results. Thank you!

[@stevetyler3016]

Nice Job. Love all the different joinery you used to make it all come together beautifully. And of course when you say Draaaa !!!

Anyone else thinking of all the cool stuff they’re going to build when they’re old

[@striveforselflessness3220]

I'd built something similar to this 4-5 years ago. I had one of the first wireless charging phones. Samsung claims they had the first, released in March of 2015 but I got my Droid turbo in late 2014, sorry Samsung, you're wrong. Anyway, when I would tell my friends about how it would charge wirelessly, they would look at me like I needed a straight jacket. Especially iPhone guys. I also built several custom wood chargers using the internals I purchased on eBay direct from China. The problem then was the inductive coils just weren't very strong and I basically had to route the wood down to almost veneer thickness so that they would work....and forget about a case on your phone. If phone was too far, the chargers would overheat and fry. I ended up scrapping the projects. Well done on your nightstands! They look beautiful!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! The technology is definitely getting better

I like your use of the router to cut the slots for the biscuits and that folding trim router guide is pretty sweet too!

Thanks! My background is not in this. Ha!

[@terdsie]

Excellent job. Quick tip on cutting off threaded bolts: spin the nut all the way down on the bolt to the head, then cut them to size. When you're done cutting the bike, unscrew the nut and the nut will clear most of the burrs and clean the threads.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

I wanted to add to my wordy “great job” comment from yesterday lol, I love your innovative mind, not having the right tool or skill is never an obstacle for you, and every time I watch your videos is see your skills improve. Take from a old buck like me, when it comes to woodworking the desire to improve and learn new skills never ends and I’ve been dabbling in it my whole life . Also, what state do you live in seems like you always have your coat on ! Lol

[@shelob12347]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! It’s def handy. But i recently saw the dowel jig from Jessem and it looks like it would be more versatile. It is more expensive though

[@vbikcl]

Awesome work. One quick tip when cutting threads, is to thread the nuts on first, cut the threads, then back the nuts off. This will clean up burrs and naturally fix any damage to the threads after cutting.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks! Totally going to do that next time.

[@bubbahogue5305]

Great job. A little trick on cutting the bolts, run the nut on first beyond the cut, make the cut and then run the nut back over the cut, that will clean up the threads.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Genius! I’ll do that next time!

[@martenveldthuis]

As a thought: where you made the marking gauge with the nail, you can also cut a spacer block that you clamp up together with the piece inside of the center finding dowel jig. The spacer will offset the hole by half the thickness of the spacer. (You may have considered this trick, but just in case you hadn't this might be a neat one to remember for the next time)

That is absolutely beautiful. Love working with elm & poplar. You accomplished the metal look on the legs, but I loved the green in the poplar & would have kept the green & put some Danish oil on it to bring it out more as elm & poplar are beautiful natural together, but that is just my take on it & your take is just as awesome. As always Tamar you ROCKED it. Have an awesome weekend.
