[@ronniejohnson4750]

Awesome! Easy to install.

[@oliviadelbarre5973]

Beautiful!

[@JonnyBuilds]

I dig it! I really like how you showed all the different build methods.

[@dwell]

Thanks Jonny :)

[@lovelifedrawing]

Hi Chris, I love all your videos, but the thing about this one I really enjoyed was showing that there are many ways to get to a similar end result. You're a really good teacher man. Kenzo

[@dwell]

Kenzo Fry :) Thanks man - appreciate it. I never really think of myself as a teacher, but I'm getting a little more comfortable with it I suppose :)

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

I agree with kenzo you have a great teaching method, making the difficult seem very achievable.

[@jw9415]

Very nice!

[@thecoralchannel]

OMG this is so so simple! We may try to make one of these of our own!

[@jeremyraymond2292]

Great video, enjoyed the reverse dado and overall deconstruction of your build to make a solid constructed media console.

[@dwell]

Thanks Jeremy! "Reverse Dado" - Did I say that? If not...I'm going to coin it :)

[@kypass]

I heard them use that while watching wrestling.

[@mauromiranda9299]

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful... congratulations!!

[@xeric42]

Really liked the video editing Chris! Nice work

[@unfrozen8855]

Great build and video Chris!

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Great project and I love the step down in the shelves. It really sets the project off well

[@MikeTheMaker1]

That step really gives it a nice pop

[@ModernBuilds]

Awesome!

[@dwell]

:)

[@valtor99]

Cool as always.

[@dwell]

Thanks Valþór - appreciate it :)

[@BruceAUlrich]

I like it, Chris! I like how you've done this and continue to do it...adding material to make a dado, rather than removing material.

[@dwell]

Thanks Bruce...appreciate it :)

[@sherryu]

Love the console AND the video!

[@dwell]

Thanks Sherry :)

[@wimm1392]

Neat job. Thanks for sharing

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Interesting build, I like the use of the plywood edge

[@sevenletters2255]

What is the approximate overall length of this piece? I would like to make a similar piece but longer. I am trying to determine if i need to add two legs in the middle for support to keep it from bending.

[@nickh121pro]

Bad ass video! What type of big “table” saw is that? Haha my bad i dont know the correct name for it but it looks tight to eventually get!🙏🙏

[@Lilacs4]

Beautiful build, I love it! Do you have a rough idea on the total cost and time to make it?

[@onepairofhands]

nice job

[@modustrial]

Nice job Chris! I like how you adapted to create a video for beginning woodworkers, but still kept the signature Salomone feel to the video. The inset style looks great, and also creates a piece that you could easily add flush inset drawers too, without any modification to the original shelf structure. Oh yea, and let the effeciency-vs-aesthetic Reddit war begin over using more material than necessary ;) I will just say my piece that this type of joinery with inset boxes looks great. So not only do the double layers make the construction easier for a novice woodworker to tackle, but they serve an aesthetic purpose, that you couldn't achieve with less material.

[@dwell]

Thanks Mike - excellent points. And should a Reddit war begin, I will site this comment as a source in defense of the "box in a box" construction method :)

[@txdave13]

Very cool and an excellent build, Chris. How many sheets of plywood did you end up using?

[@dwell]

It was lots of leftovers...but I think you could get it out of 2 sheets of the 5x5 x 1/2" baltic birch

[@leova12587]

Affordable quality

[@tubelisity]

Hey Chris can you drop a link on where you bought those blue corner clamps? thanks!

[@dwell]

Sure...here ya go - www.rockler.com/rockler-clamp-it-corner-clamping-jig

[@caixasgames6691]

Show 👏👏👏👏👏

[@gibby231]

where can I find the drawings or plans? The write up is nice...but references drawings which I can't find.

[@boltup5566]

Could you use a job site construction type table saw? Also how hard to make doors

[@TranTheClever]

aww yeah robertson yeah 1:18

[@squeedum4893]

Making this!

[@Riccardo931000]

What vinyl media player is that?

[@OntarioLakeside]

how many sheets of plywood?

[@dwell]

It's hard to say b/c I was using some partials that I had from other projects, but I'd think you could get it all out of 2 of the 5x5 sheets.

[@Fer10101]

Hey Chris, how long did it take?

[@dwell]

Hard to say because of the filming and sporadic schedule I work...but if you dedicated a full weekend to something like this you could knock it out :)

[@victorvek5227]

Glue & screw or just glue?

[@fluffyb2424]

❤️👏👏

[@MakingStuffco]

a lot quicker than the other projects haha, but it looks nice!!

[@dwell]

Thanks. Yeah, it's a more straight forward approach :)

[@joeygonzo]

90 degree mitres still look better than overlaps

[@masterofnone]

Only if you had an impact driver right :)

[@dwell]

rectified! haha. :)

[@angelafernandez5400]

Sounds like jessie eisenburg

[@kithkin01]

Built this with a plastic butter knife

[@555shin]

twins?
