Looking very sharp, I love that Mid Century style of furniture.

[@ChadMakesIt]

Thank You!

[@Arbiter2552]

You need to make more of these videos, I could sit and watch this all day. Also, love the music selections. SO much better than the jarring speed metal that so many guys seem to want to use. Plus, the classical music seems fitting for some reason. Subscribed. :)

[@ChadMakesIt]

Thank you very much. I have tried to use many different kinds of music, but nothing seems to work and gel with the video as well as classical. I appreciate the feedback.

Really a beautiful piece, and great color! Liking your channel so far keep it up! Subscribed!

[@ChadMakesIt]

+Caleb Allen Thank you. I need that motivation, It's really appreciated. More to come.

[@Leneufcinqcergy]

Chic actually. Very Breakfast at Tiffanys. You earned a sub.

[@ChadMakesIt]

Thank you!

[@joshhansen763]

gorgeous work...if I can ask, what angle are your sides at? love the painted inside and stained outside, great contrast.

[@joshhansen763]

+Josh Hansen on second look, I can't tell if they are 90 degrees and just look slanted because of the camera angles lol

[@ChadMakesIt]

+Josh Hansen thank you!, they are 90 degrees, it's just the camera angle.

Oh man, this got me inspired. That Kreg Jig is very cool, what length screw did you use? and did you drill pilot holes into the longer pieces of wood?

[@ChadMakesIt]

+James Sanchez It's a great tool, they tell you what length screw to use with whatever thickness wood. I used 1.25" screws for 3/4" wood. It also comes with a drill bit and stop collar system that helps drill your pilot holes. Check this out here .. www.kregtool.com/webres/Files/KregJigHDManual.pdf

Anybody else have a Caddyshack flashback? Nice video btw!! lol!

[@ChadMakesIt]

+Anthony Fleming thanks! be the ball, na na na na na na na na na

[@pv24518]

What kind of wood are you using? Nice build.

[@ChadMakesIt]

+Pedro Viana Just some laminated pine wood panels from home depot. It took a while to find some that straight and flat, but they worked out great.

[@samcasey7672]

what kind of tape are you using here? Looks nicer than standard painters tape

[@samcasey7672]

especially with hardly any bleed

[@ChadMakesIt]

it's standard 3m painters tape, I pressed the seams as tight as I could. it still had some bleed through. If I had to do it again I would have paid a little more and bought frog tape. It costs more, but it definitely out performs the standard blue stuff.

[@FeralBoyKnives]

Did you just use polyurethane? How many coats did you use to get it that shiny?. Great project

[@ChadMakesIt]

+July With Fitz I used MinWax fast-drying oil based high gloss poly. I hit it with about 5 coats and sanded lightly with 400 grit sandpaper in between coats.

[@FeralBoyKnives]

+Create Repair Improve looks great!

[@ChadMakesIt]

+July With Fitz thank you!

[@ChadMakesIt]

Thank You!!!

[@oakwoodmike]

What finish did you use to get it so shiny?

[@ChadMakesIt]

Pretty sure I just used minwax gloss polyurethane, nothing fancy

[@sergstroble3245]

how did you screw in the other side. i mean there isnt much room so how did you screw them other piece on.

[@ChadMakesIt]

I used a flex shaft attachment with my drill. However it was still really hard to brace and maneuver it. Here is a link to the attachment www.homedepot.com/p/eazypower-11-in-x-1-4-in-Hex-Consumer-Flex-A-Bit-1-Pack-73609/202790022?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D25T-PowerTools%7c&gclid=CjwKEAjwz4u9BRCbioK3stnBznESJADA75xbOjNpGmKmtTogVucnb1LwRIfPmW_jaNGFkQ4n6vaJMRoCWOzw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@sergstroble3245]

awesome thanks. i been wanting a flex shaft for workin on my cars, but that is a great use for it too as i use pocket holes all the time but avoid getting into that situation.

[@ChadMakesIt]

I use it all the time working on our cars. Definitely a good tool to have around

[@bac4998]

Imo mitered edges would have been cleaner. Great project anyways I enjoyed.
