DIY Mid Century Modern Side Table / End Table | Modern Builds | EP. 69

[@bluetorch13]

the level of sloppiness, lack of tools and end result destroyed all my excuses for not doing my nightstand project. You are insane!

[@shanerothery]

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.

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot man!

[@rockusbacchus]

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.

[@jordanmcable]

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.

[@rendellmicallef2155]

Cool simple project :) and it's nice to see a builder that admit and shows his/her failures and learn from it

[@user-ux5vt5pk4l]

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!

[@Duran-Richardson]

Nothing is perfect in this world, I think the builds you do are tops! Always great watching you do these projects!!

[@sofiemccarthy3684]

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!!:)

[@digimikek]

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!

[@ModernBuilds]

Exactly!! Thanks man

[@troy7481]

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!

[@SEBTECHDIY]

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.

[@michaelmarceron672]

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!

[@rescuecorey2]

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!

[@Whiskeywoodcreations]

Mike, this turned out AWESOME! Love the maple choice and all of the details, leather pull, etc. solid build!

[@oxintheshop]

Really cool making it all with a circular saw. And I like how the leather draw pull turned out. Very cool

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks brother!

[@wwt17]

Despite the joint snafu, looks really cool! Agree that the dowels are a great contrast!

[@nielstielemans152]

Wow its hot outside, cant think of anything to..... Yay!!! New modern builds video

[@fetchercity]

"A four-sided square" :). Great job - looks awesome!

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha! Didn't even realize it until now

[@carlbowden4712]

Actually a four sided rectangle.

[@WorksbySolo]

Cool build Mike. Sweet drawer pull. Mid Century ROCKS!

[@LeeOfBent]

Looking forward to grabbing some merch...c'mon payday.Really like how the wood-leather and brass colours come together.

[@ModernBuilds]

Nice! Thanks Lee. Yeah, you can't beat that combo haha

[@robertorguez8148]

that leather trim...just perfect!

[@bulkhead]

There is no person alive that could be your hype man. Awesome build, love the podcast.

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha!! Thanks Jason

[@AbamAdy]

leather and colour of the wood match perfectly....thanks for sharing with us

[@pozersk8er]

Damn, that leather handle really pulls it all together, nice touch Mike! Keep it up!

[@ModernBuilds]

Nice pun!!

[@eXdXgXe4life]

I love the harbor freight clamps and tape measure! Such great value!

[@ModernBuilds]

Yeah, those var clamps are awesome for the price

[@KiranBhatWoodworking]

Straight forward build! Awesome work!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nice job Mike! 👍

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot brother

[@JorgeMartinez-bw7nl]

Very well done Modern Builds. Keep going....

[@ManCrafting]

Love the maple. Very clean simple design. Looks fantastic. Great job.

[@craftedworkshop]

Shop cat! Awesome project dude. Turned out great. Love that leather pull!

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha! I heard you're not legit unless you have a cat running around all the time lol

[@codykees6584]

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.

[@JonathanRansom]

Nice one Mike.

[@JaredShue]

Wow, cool project Mike!

[@coreyward]

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

[@eriaus]

Fantastic build, it has been cool to see the types of projects you do grow as your channel has grown.

[@DaniellaFagan]

Beautiful and simple, really inspiring as always!

[@jtwooddesigns3299]

Very nice side table

[@davebauerart]

Looks nice. That's why I usually pick up a roll of blue tape every time

[@UriValdez]

Great job bro, live the drawer slides, I too enjoy making my own.

[@stanleyshostak2737]

Very nice. Great job! You could cut the legs with some curves and it would change the look a bit.

[@workshop_edits]

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

[@ModernBuilds]

yeah, I saw that on your shelf build! I think you're right on with that point on the limited tool stuff

[@joshcosta423]

This turned out great!

[@karelt5413]

Nice!!! I like the leather handle also. 👍

[@dangapunk312]

Very bealtifull!!! Congratulations!!!

[@gittgerits2281]

This looks awesome!

[@sagebisbee]

Super duper awesome!

[@reforzar]

Nice work Mark 😉

[@BruceAUlrich]

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

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks Bruce. Yeah, for the 5 minutes it took to make I think it's really cool

[@seaofblends6799]

Really nice, sleek design. I think a mod of this would do great double duty as a cable hider.

[@scooppralines6428]

Rad build brother! I like that leather pull. Thanks for sharing.

[@scooppralines6428]

P.S. I'm excited to see your super expensive mirror build.

[@ModernBuilds]

Haha! Soon

[@tacomapappas]

Man, that looks good! Nice job!

[@ibraheemmonks8866]

congrats on 400k, love your projects and videos, they're so interesting and entertaining

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks a lot!! I appreciate it

[@vagelistassis7441]

well done!!!i learned a few tricks!

[@shelbydakota100]

Looks great!!

[@craigchingren-hamann9700]

Got my stickers from ya the other day. Thanks for the bonus and the nice personal note! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@chrismartinez3928]

Cool idea for the leather strap. Haven't seen that yet!

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks man

[@Sortafication]

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!!!!

[@FatherJHackett]

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!)

[@WideTie2008]

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

[@Skatethencreateco]

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.

[@mrstarlight95]

Congrats you made 49 on the Trending List!!!!!! 😀

[@ModernBuilds]

Hey!! That's awesome

[@silveravnt]

fantastic!

[@MeganYingling]

Absolutely love it

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks!!

[@jeffersonaugusto4310]

Very nice man!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Mike, I'm curious on what you're using this for? Nightstand, end table, or side table? Nicely done brother

[@EricLee-dd4zt]

outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@allanpaganini]

Hi Mike How are you? Great job and beautiful project as others. Congratulations.

[@diva30lina]

love your very neat work 😊

[@Kkuts37]

Another project I Need!! Thanks a bunch!!

[@ifollowjesus1667]

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.

[@rclatebloomer7880]

Loved it!

[@TetsusaigaDrgn]

Hope did Mike make the little inserts for the holes he drilled ?

[@anavazques1522]

HE'S THE BEST!

[@thewoodworker1703]

Brilliant

[@MobWithGuns]

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 ?

[@jldude555]

This guy needs a TV show on HGTV sponsored by Ryobi of course :)

[@Burner123-zd4hc]

Cut your miters at 44.9° and you'll have a lot better luck with the outside corner touching.

[@SEBTECHDIY]

Awesome side table mike! 😏 It would look great beside my bed !!

[@davidrudolph649]

Got my merch and I'm lovin it

[@ModernBuilds]

Yes!! Thanks brother

[@forster46]

Definitely interested in building this, but do you have a more detailed cutlist with measurements?

[@weegee5719]

Mate,that was really nice builds.really cool looking Mid-Century end table.great results,mate.job well done.Cheers!!

[@dominikvdovski996]

Cat supervised 😉!

[@wyomedic2]

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.

[@ModernBuilds]

That would be really cool!

[@amywortz]

Love the design and the contrast between the leather pull and the really light colored wood! Also did you get a new tattoo???

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks!! I did!

[@amywortz]

Looks great! What is it if you don't mind me asking?

[@COD_ben]

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.

[@JolienBrebels]

Sweet!

[@zerojazdy]

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.

[@dianagilberto9818]

Like it !!

[@SoFloFinest]

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.

[@sarahelizabeth7030]

😍😍 this man.

[@jamesrose4508]

Very nice.. 😊😊

[@shimueljones5777]

Love this!! I would have used darker colour wood for the dowels to match the colour of the leather however.

[@Nadia-zz9lv]

Amazing 😍

[@catherinelanglois8007]

Hi! The link for the Written step by step plans doesn't work 😢 I would love to have them. Great work!

[@shionarae2227]

just casually bingeing on your channel...

[@marvilitalejandra]

😍 Lovely!

[@kyasneed9998]

I can’t wait until I’m skilled enough to do these projects

[@joecorlettjoe1991]

Love the vid and channel! Can’t find the plans anywhere though (tried the Ryobi Nation link). Know where I can find them?

[@RCW-Designs]

Looks good man. What is the darker strip at the front of the cabinet? It almost looks like a different color wood.

[@ModernBuilds]

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

[@codyzickler8758]

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.
