You make things like this hope chest so doable. You're an awesome teacher. Love watching these again ❤.

[@adrianbaker-campbell771]

This is a great video. So glad to see them again!

❤always a joy when I see one of your videos come up on my KZbin feed, hope you're enjoying life x.

Back when they knew how to make cool sets so you felt like you were in an old garage, barn, attic or basement.

[@toolgirl]

Exactly! Wendy White was a true phenom in the art and set dec department!

[@markhodgson2348]

You could have made your own plugs with a matching plug cutter 😊

[@toolgirl]

Yeah it would have looked better and I love plug cutters but in my experience, softwood plugs made with a plug cutter come out kind of gnarly/hairy so I opted for the Lee Valley plugs. Have you had better luck?
