DIY Modern Plywood Nightstand W/ Waterfall Edge

[@HighlineGuitars]

To keep parts from sliding while clamping, sprinkle some salt into the glue before you bring the pieces together. Just a tiny pinch is all you need.

[@dataodokpa5431]

Super proud of her

[@CaptainSloose]

That track saw is neat but other than cutting a jointing edge / reference edge I think a good table saw - even a well aligned jobsite saw- would be money better spent. The finished product is very cool though I love it !!

[@robertcraigh73]

You seem like a genuine and kind person.

[@brucejgallettajr1014]

Being a custom cabinet and trim carpenter and building furniture I also stared in Formica and coriander fabricating business you did an awesome job I was very surprised you matched all grain going around the night stands I give you a A+ great job

I love your furniture builds and the clear way you explain each step as you construct the piece. Please, continue to build projects that weekend warriors like me can make.

[@MichaelBuilds]

That’s a brilliant way to make 1 1/2” stock! And it looks cool!!!

[@sgrisez]

Thanks to you, I have to stop at the Dollar Store and Home Depot on the way home today to get muffin tins and concrete.. thanks!! Seriously though, love the projects!

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! It's a good hack for us cheapskates

[@MichaelBuilds]

Sean Grisez Lol 😂 sorry bout that hahaha

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

Exerting more work than it would take to fell a tree and rip your own boards is not a brilliant anything. It's daft. In the time and effort she'll make ten boards I'll fell and rip a hundred exactly to the dimensions I need and get paid an average man's weeks wage per tree for the pleasure of doing it. Which for us hobbyists is a ridiculously good deal!

[@Doublethizzle]

I too, and probably most watching this, hate naked miter joints. Sooooo, I finally got myself to get past the aggravation of setting up (and making a set-up template) a *Lock Miter* bit for my router. Not only will this joint get rid of the worrying about the miter joint but when used with contrasting wood species it can look pretty cool.

[@chrisblunt7627]

This is a great video, I like that the night stands can be built with relatively inexpensive materials and minimal tools, but they look very expensive when complete. Thanks for sharing!

Very neat tip with the purple and blue acrylic.

[@lilymayer5444]

I liked the “welcome to the channel” because this is indeed the first video I’ve seen of this channel and I feel welcome indeed!!!!

[@the_yankee_joiner]

Try taping your miters with box tape. Put the tips of the miters together and tape the long seem together. Flip, add glue on the inside of the open miter and fold the joint. Glue will be forced everywhere in the joint and the squeeze out can only come out on the inside. This is called V-folding in the millwork industry.

[@igorja9820]

Thank you for Free building plans This is the best channel for biginers. Thank you for your work 💪💪💪

[@frankiefigzz1]

Wow!!! And the night stand is awesome!

[@6919wally]

Very nice my only thing when nailing do keep your fingers where the nail might come out, a few months ago it happen to me the nail went through and got stuck on my finger

[@AaronX442]

Oh.. she'll stop holding her projects in the nail lane when she gets a brad nail through one of her fingernails :)

[@tymonster183]

Had that heppen to me once too. Hit a hard spot and the grain changed directions and the nail just shot out through the side instead of going straight. sucks.

[@papasteve215]

Been there. Done that

[@jewdd1989]

I think it looks very brilliant! A ply I’d like to try this with is Hickory! Only because of the glorious striping it has. And stained with just clear matte poly as well as I fell most woods are ruined with stains. I love how wood appears naturally and you do a good job of keeping your pieces true to their color, sometimes whiter etc. but I feel like it’s only to embrace a piece

[@andylopez3763]

Why not make a video i bet your work would look great. Try it

[@planetpopov]

Hi Elisha. Another great video. if you have one of the two laminated panels just a bit proud of the other one, you can use that factory edge as your reference for the other edge on your table saw. After the parallel cut is made, make another cut to remove the excess on the first edge.

[@jackfive565]

Very nice work, well done, looks very scandinavian , clean lines and minimalist looks 👍

[@mitchkelleher7972]

I normally don't like exposed edges, but with the plies all lined up so well, it looks great! I've worked with marine ply for boats, but never made furniture and I learned a lot of great tips.

[@twinkydb]

very good, i make a lot of fourniture with plywood and never think in glue on two boards for more thickness, thanks for the video

[@JJCordray]

You can sprinkle a little salt in your glue-up to keep the pieces from sliding around when they's clamped or screwed together. This is a great video! I like the production quality, the voiceover without annoying music, and the lack of 'filler.' You just tell us what you're going to do, do it, and then tell us you did it. Great work!

[@LordPadriac]

It's also a great way to change the chemical properties of the glue so that it no longer behaves or dries as it was intended to as well as introduce tiny voids from undissolved glue.

[@gailpengelly8581]

Oh my god I LOVE the varnish trick....THAT’S SOOOO COOL. I too adore birch plywood but can not afford it . I’m really looking forward to trying that. Also the idea of the clamp corner grips with tape...GENIUS. CHEERS. Gail Plymouth 🇬🇧

[@FodderMoosie]

yeah, those clamps blew my mind! I am no good at that sort of geometric imagining!

[@jonathannez4575]

Nightstands look nice. There's nothing like the craftsmanship of something handmade, beautiful work.

[@frankgarcia9350]

Simple but very stylish. I really like the thickness as well. Very nice job.

[@ACNailedIt]

I had not seen that triangular caul method for gluing up mitered corners like this before. What an amazing trick! Great video 👍

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! I think I picked it up from my friend Matt Cremona

[@seanzoz]

Thanks for the video. Great job :). Love seeing people's creativity at work.

[@sacrajah]

Pretty nice nightstand. Videography is too professional in quality/right on target to believe that it is shot in the home environment. Thank you for sharing

[@shadowblade9461]

the double layer ply edges looks dope

[@markhilliersupportstaff7467]

Gorgeous. And the table too

[@andy-in-indy]

After seeing the photos on IG I was skeptical, but that really came out nice. I did not understand how the continuous grain was going to set off the layering on the edge like that, and the layered edge on the pulls make sense to me now! I certainly would not have seen that before this.

[@sylvainbosse1344]

Nice design and craftsmanship!

[@flix4u]

Just rewatched cuz I love that piece so much - ❤️ exposed edge wall the layers

[@josephramos7231]

Great job, nice creation!

[@robertevans6481]

Not really a fan of exposed edge plywood,but I like these,must be the finish you used on it. Have a great weekend...

[@jroseme]

Super clean, nailed it.

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! ✌

[@hbd9973]

love those converse 😎

[@bandedefous99]

Bravo ! Très beau travail !

[@b3arwithm3]

Very nice exposed edge indeed. I didn't have much luck with plywood from HD. They all have void sprinkled around.

[@awesomearizona-dino]

i really do like the thickness of the panels. Aaaand the hair too.

[@shredder152]

The author does like to from scratch, kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@Lacasadekarns]

Wow this looks amazing!!!

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! ✌

[@Corcioch]

That is a beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

[@sergiofrancioni8416]

Great job! Best regards from Brasil!

[@jvideo83]

Love that you make mistakes...I'm not the only one thank god. Great video.

[@laurendao4467]

Enjoyed this project. This is my first time watching your videos. And I also have to say that I absolutely LOVE your hair! :)

[@Coopercaroline2000]

I’m soooooooo happy that I found your channel!!! You build amazing stuff AND it’s quality!!!! Being a perfectionist, I can really appreciate the great work!!!!!

[@michaelmartens4913]

Great video. Thanks for the step by step directions and I love your honesty.

[@robertcraigh73]

Great job. I like that.

[@timphillips142]

I am going to try this build thanks for the video'

[@gush9348]

Great work. I found this video very calming and relaxing.

[@johncole5175]

I think it's funny how we all have such a variety of different styles and brands of clamps and how even the never used ones find use on a project like this!

[@scientist100]

I wish I had more than one clamp. I only have one that has served many times as a second hand and I dont do wood projects that often lol

[@mikez4132]

Those are very sharp!

[@emmaslow]

I think Rockler need to send you some corner clamps 🤪

[@mawla14]

To prevent pieces from slipping while glueing up, sprinkle a little bit of salt on the glue. This will provide enough friction so it does not slip.

[@danielwoodbeck779]

This is great! Glad to see you posting another video! I think i was going through withdrawal! I really like the continuous grain! Been watching your videos for a few months now and starting to get into wood working and turning a part of my garage into a workshop. So I realky appreciate your videos! They are very informative and interesting! I too enjoy seeing you and your husband work together! I love it when my wife and I get to workntogether and share the joy of creating something together. Please keep it up!

[@davetaylor2088]

Another beautiful piece! I want to build one with a hidden pop up LED lamp and built in power sockets. Of course I did fail wood work in year 7... Wish me luck...

[@ErinSpainDIY]

Love the exposed plywood edge! So good!

[@miloszivkovic6118]

clamping technique , briliant

[@zaidkamal3897]

I love your work and how you film every step and i love your hair color realy nice. Thanx for the video.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Very Cool Video Elisha! I like how you glued two sheets of plywood together. Awesome all around build!

[@InteractiveRealm]

Very nice.. I actually really like the exposed grain look. When I saw the cut offs from the 45 miters, I thought those would have made cool drawer handles too.. if you cut off the pointed edge so it would be flat there.. then you'd have these 45 degree handle grips.

[@Eener1000]

There is an easier way to glue those 45 degree sides into 90 degrees; Put some wide strong tape in strips down and on top place all the panels flat with the outsides to the tape and make them touch where they go together. Then fold all the sides up. The tape will keep the outside corners real tight

[@rsenseventwo9993]

Wood flavored Lilly pop. yummy!!!😷

[@gavinhillery3130]

Love the waterfall feature of this and the think visible plies. Is the ACS fitted for beveled cuts? It looks like you cut some new lines into the work table on the beveled cuts. It might've been better to use the track saw off of the table for those ones.

[@mojo6385]

i've never hear of adding paint to a finish like that. I'm intrigued and plan to look into it some more.

[@FodderMoosie]

@@yuyo121 Yeah, acrylic paint is water-based. All good there :)

[@MD-en3zm]

You can use transtint too - one of those bottles lasts forever if you are just tinting things lightly. I use them to tint shellac for my first coat on everything.

[@jairoferrerferrer3800]

Não sei falar engles, mais quando vi seus vídeos me apaixonei pelo seu trabalho muito bom gostei de mals

[@matthewwilliams4380]

Loved the idea and made a pair yesterday. Great video

[@modeybasel7541]

good job I love all your work

[@FastFerrari82]

@2:10 dem clamps tho😍😍😍

[@seanleavy3924]

I love this

[@melancholyme5708]

Beautiful!👍 Your country plywood are awesome. Really wanna work with.

[@Maximilian5268]

Just a time saving tip, is there a reason you don't use a ratcheting band clamp with corner braces? Pretty cheap and reliable.

[@s0uthp4w68]

Love the table.

[@simonrichardson353]

Great job I really like plywood very stable hat off I think my daughter will really like the they look great for her place

[@ColocasiaCorm]

Can you use a pin nailer instead of screws

[@zbigniewbalczunas4438]

[@Арт-М]

Very cool !

[@husseinnejah5337]

Awesome 👍

[@isaaczeitoun7767]

Great video! Question: I see you're using the Makita 18v Pin Nailer. I haven't read the best reviews on the nailer, and would appreciate your thoughts on it?

[@thegoodfight365]

thanks for another great project video. btw I appreciate your advice on drawer slides. So many "professionals" on YT promote them as if they are a must. But I agree with you that they're nothing special to say the least and I'm happy i was able to return the ones I purchased two projects ago for other hardware.👍🏾

[@PneumaticAddict]

Right on! What was the project you built?

[@brandyaube217]

Great video and great pieces, Elisha! I love the exposed edges!

[@schmalzilla1985]

What do you do to keep the bugs out of your wet coatings? Those asshats for some reason always like to land on my projects.

[@MatSmithLondon]

An idea for more effective clamping: clamping timber to press sheets together instead of clamping the sheets themselves. LOVE this work though, really nice job

[@gastonroulstone5025]

I’ve the woodwork and the hair. 👾

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the plywood nightstands Elisha! Thanks for sharing the build with us.👍👌😎JP

[@ellesilk]

Great details

[@DMC428]

Colored hair = crazy Nice nightstand.

[@haihoang4983]

Very nice

[@maxximumb]

Again, beautiful work.

[@aaxmym]

Ok that build was pretty cool. Subscribed!

[@markjervis8558]

Great project. They look fantastic...

[@albertpeterson4652]

Love this table! I'm wondering what the pocket holes at the top of the table are holding on to? The screws are pointing at their own piece of wood in the mitre.

[@Chaves_Novo_Quiz]

Spreading glue on 1:02 is so satisfying

[@funkintubin]

Aloha from Honolulu, HI!!! I love this tutorial and although I don't own the Kreg system you used in the video, I have all the other tools and plan on making one or two of these beautiful nightstands. I just wanted to know what kind of plywood you used for this build. Was it birch?

[@NeoMorphUK]

Those glued on clamp blocks... errm... you need to invest in some fabric band clamps as they are awesome. They also help keep the build square.

[@sksee882002]

Nice job 👌👍👍

[@V8SKULLS]

Absolutely love your channel, learned a lot of ideas for my daughters new house to build for her, and again freaking love your hair. And now my oldest daughter is a subscriber to your channel as well. Thank you for sharing your life/ ideas Daren from so. Florida
