That's the best intro and sponsor presentation of all time !!

[@MakeSomething]

🙏

[@MakeSomething]

Dude, what were you thinking? English walnut and cherry? Unsubscribe.

[@paulmurphy4277]

🤣🤣🤣

[@theJonnymac]

that cherry will darken nicely and will be a nice contrast in a year or two

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Two firsts in KZbin woodworker channels; haven’t seen anyone cooking or lying in bed on video. Pushing the limits in 2021!

[@scottacorey]

y, e, s, yes, yes, yes! I wanted to make one and David did all the thinking for me. Thank you!

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

always love that this channel includes showing how to fix miters that need just a little help, and giving a new wood combination a shot. Like - an honest example of how a real woodshop project typically goes. Can we just have some fun???

[@rtanderson2]

Look at this guy over here with a Mary Poppin's coffee mug! I need to get myself one of those!!!

[@shamu7014]

The opening was priceless! It really made me laugh, especially seeing your hat still in its usual place! 🤣 Love your videos Dan and don’t let anyone stop you being you!!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Love it so much fun. Great work Dan and David.

[@davidmeyer9204]

I liked the "never filling" coffee cup and the OLFA cutter to open the bags. I also liked the project! Thanks Sir!

[@WiredWorkshop]

The finished project looked great but that breakfast looked even better! Your videos are always awesome, very fun and relatable.

[@JANDLWOODWORKING]

You keep this up and you will get your own shelf on my book case Book ordered!!! Love your videos and Books please keep them both coming!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you James! 🙏

[@justinlichtenwald2458]

The opening gave this video any automatic thumbs up 👍

[@MakeSomething]

Hahah!!!

[@keironcornell9396]

I loved the humerus honestly about the two types of wood not going together. It made me chuckle. Keep up the great videos!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Excited to see your new book. Great project.

[@roguestatus6]

After the latest @makingit podcast the intro was EPIC! Love it and keep at it

Hey David. I'll definitely be placing an order for your new books. I have the Bandsaw one for years and have had a blast making some of those boxes. Unfortiunately *steps 20 to 23 are missing from the Chicago box.* I figured it was just my copy and let it slide but one of your screen shots on your site shows that it does indeed jump from step 19 to 24. Maybe those steps could be made available as a PDF or something?

[@MakeSomething]

@@alexreid4131 Hi Alex. Those steps aren't actually missing. Step 24 should actually be labeled as 20 which is the final step.

[@alexreid4131]

@@MakeSomething ha ha problem solved! Looking forward to reading the new books. My wife saw a few things from the kitchen book images that she’s insisting I make for her. Thanks brother.

[@nicktravis5496]

The rolling cutter to open the hardware bags was awesome! Nice touch!

[@josephpetty1522]

i missed the whole commercial drooling over your breakfast....

[@micheleromaine7782]

I love that Pulp Fiction was on the TV!! Best movie EVER🥰

[@thetiggr78]

Awesome video. Thank you for making me both chuckle and inspired.

[@mindyhall4638]

David-I’m sure it’s a ton of work but please, please, please keep creating books...ordered your most recent and have the other two...love your work, love your channel, and love your spirit!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!

[@markpeach74]

It’s fantastic to see you back. Missed you.

[@deborahcartwright8672]

Thank you for sharing this food tray love it, I really enjoyed your right to the point and no frills, wood working

[@muhhamad786]

Good video, thanks Dave. Stay safe!

[@TheGarageEngineer]

Im glad I am not the only one who makes videos covered in sawdust. My table saw suction suxs. Keep on rocking!

[@shawnhagen284]

Well worth the wait, great video.

[@derekdodson5623]

Great project, Dave. Thanks

[@chorehunter4125]

Thanks for the idea.

[@JohnMadeit]

I knew i liked your videos but i just realised im a total fanboy of yours because it been a few weeks before you have posted so i was searching for your videos in case i missed it

[@Scratcher25]

Hey David, love your vids. Wanted to say, one thing I can't believe you haven't made yet is an acoustic cell phone speaker. So easy and cool. And with Valentine's coming up you could make where the opening in the front of the speaker is heart shaped. Just an idea, keep up the awesome work.

[@andyiliff7793]

15 seconds in and I hit that like button. I love the opening. I felt like you were going to say, 'This video is brought to you by bacon.'. Great stuff!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Dave! Really nice! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@justplaintommy63]

I learned carpentry from old guys who were set in their ways, like color combinations. That being said, the Cherry and old English works for me. I don't know why but I've always been drawn to the things that are not typical, out of the norm. thanks for sharing this

[@cathieslabaugh7841]

Enjoying one of my favorite woodworking channels then RECORD SCRATCH you open plastic baggies with a fabric cutting wheel! My life is changed forever!! 😮😮😮 😜

[@dandavis5832]

Nice one Dave. I've been using the English walnut as well and like much.

[@SxmTech101]

Actually the orange looks really good as contrast

[@kypass]

Great video, one of the best yet.

[@zachhudlin6362]

Those book covers are beautiful!

[@billymacmakes]

Sneaky sneaky putting the 'ad' at the beginning! And those eggs and bacon! Mmmmm. Had me riveted!

[@avicell]

That was literally the exact same breakfast I made myself this morning! Except no handmade breakfast tray.... That English Walnut sure looks pretty! I'll have to see if I can get some of that.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Super enjoyable video. Love the extra effort on the intro/outro. Tray is a great project. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@WoodenCreationz]

David nails the making it podcast fear like a boss... Also nails the fear of tape on chest hair!!! 😂😂😂👊🏻😜 Respect man!

[@tsquaredwoodworks3037]

This. We need more of this in 2021... and of course by 'this' I am referring to more shirtless Picciuto in 2021! I am stoked to get my copy and cannot wait to make projects and show them off shirtless!!

[@bysonderby]

Goddammit, David!! You forgot to link to your cooking channel!! Love the tray, making it!!

[@jgriff19861947]

Nice work with good humor and the tray looks great

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

This is one of my favorites in the book - I think my dad has already started making one! Haha the ending was priceless "Too Late"

[@MakeSomething]

Ha! Thanks Ethan!

[@woogaloo]

Whoa gurl - just those first few seconds is enough to buy that book! ;) Such a great and easy design, but well executed - and also very hilarious video.

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Fantastic

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

I bought the new book and I love it! I love the projects in it! It’s like the woodworker’s cookbook!

[@MakeSomething]

Right on! Thank you!!

[@ArpadBuildsThis]

@@MakeSomething Can’t wait to start building!

[@mykidsdad9]

Ordered the new book to complete my collection. Can’t wait for another Ken Craft open house !!!

[@brennangoodson3367]

Thank you for using scrap that you do have, it helps us remember to use ours!!!

[@dqsis]

Hey David! Love ALL your videos. Woul love see a video about Dan!!!

[@matthewcarpenter4716]

Pulp Fiction on in the background... EPIC!

[@MarcWaddell]

OMG, the bed scene is hilarious! Also, I like the design, probably one of these in my future shop projects!

[@johnkeane7901]

Lovely video. Never had a square space ad make me hungry before!

[@imaginationingrained]

I like the cherry/walnut combo

[@yrmh1]

Pulp Fiction! Love that movie!

[@sirindekorist]

Good job. 👍

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome project. Really nice design. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making God Bless

[@DMonZ1988]

beautiful project and excellent timing! i've been wanting to make one of these for a while now and this is a lovely and very approachable design. i also have to say that i really felt and enjoyed your calmer pace in this one. you should have breakfast in bed more often ;-)

[@jonatham35]

Loved the continuous coffee pour. ☕😂 Great video.

[@donahuehomestead5640]

Enjoyed the video

[@davidsutton4993]

First thought: man that tape is gunna hurt coming off. I like the simplicity of the design. The almost orange colour of the splines gives it a subtle highlight. Thank you

[@JustMightDIY]

Gotta agree on the wood combo. 😂 Even so, we really appreciate the tutorial - we need to make something like this, but for a portable laptop stand to move around the house.

[@MakerCuisine]

Very nice, still waiting for the version that has wireless charging, an epoxy river, and a secret compartment but all that aside i still really enjoyed this video and project, i didn't think the cherry accents were too bad but yeah going lighter or maybe even darker would have probably looked better, but for using what you had i would still buy that serving tray

[@klipzig]

You can easily change this to a folding laptop table or create an insert for one. Maybe cut out a grove on the inside to set in the insert. And then cut out a long hole on the insert to hold a tablet.

[@TheVideoGameVault]

Congrats on the book! Also, "say what one more time!"

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! Love that movie!

[@RoseKindred]

Nice neat little project. I cannot afford the expensive tools (like the table saw you shown) I see in yours and other KZbinrs' videos but I think this may be one of the few projects I can do with my Dremel and a handsaw.

[@danielrleal]

First of all: great ad read. Completely forgot it was a an ad read. Question: what was going on with the eggs there? Did you add water and then close the lid? What for? Great build overall. I need to check out the book.

[@SomebodyRandom717]

It looks like he started by frying them and added water and a lid to steam them. I've never seen that done before. I'm curious whether the white was cooked/ yolks were still runny or not! I'll try it out later lol

[@JillofAllTrades2]

@@SomebodyRandom717 Looks like an excellent solution to cooking eggs sunny side up but with a little hardened yolk on top to punch thru with crunchy toast 🤪

[@MakeSomething]

Lyssa nailed it. I use the steam to cook the tops of the eggs. I can’t recall where I learned that trick but it works great!

[@danielrleal]

@@SomebodyRandom717 that’s what I thought too. I normally just fry em in the pan I used for bacon. Sometimes on my cast iron I’ll just cook em all together. Glad I’m not the only one who saw that and was like “hold up, what?” Lol

[@ksross08]

Totally wasn't expecting that intro!!! :)

[@SeanFoushee]

You're the only woodworker on KZbin I'm able to estimate project time based on the movies you watch in the shop.

[@MakeSomething]

Ha!

[@lisadodge6515]

Great job! missed seeing you for a while.

[@somejkiv]

I checked it, and I liked it.

[@tooljunkie555]

Not a fan of the combo either but am a fan of ur books! I Bought the 1st 2 and made almost every project in both.i was stoked about the 1st 2 books and i look for to getting this one too!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you Joe!!

[@leonardolacaba]

Superb project and incredible beautiful. I am also happy to see your shop as net and clean, that Philippine flag hang on your wall was funtastic. Keep on going sir, your avid fan from Philippines 😊😎👏

[@mauricemcloughlin8261]

Lol, the best shot. Man I learnt a lot in this one. Thanks bro.

[@heyitsthatdude17]

6:40 you should make a dowel plate for a project video! Great vid as always Dave.

[@xrpaussie4099]

“This is a technique I seen on the”.....classic!! I was thinking... surely he’s going to reference something, Always a laugh David, good on ya mate

[@BusyDee]

Eewwwww! Didn’t know you had a book! Getting it NOW!

[@Hj_psycho]

Just ordered like 4 of your plans and I've never been more excited to spend money.

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!!

[@Hj_psycho]

@@MakeSomething Thank YOU for the amazing work and the motivation to Make Something. Now I just gotta get one of those mugs.

[@skidgel]

the walnut and cherry mix might age well. i once made a shaker two stepper from them and walnut has lightened as the cherry has darkened. mine was american walnut though. regardless, great video on so many levels (the DWW humor always comes through perfectly!) and CONGRATS on your THIRD book!!!!!

[@osmo00]

Great comedy in this one! Great video 👍🍳🥓

[@Jaez85]

Definitely this video earned you a book purchase!

❤️

[@yvrbybne]

That's a pretty f***ing good milkshake. I don't know if it's worth five dollars but it's pretty f***ing good.

[@anthonyprokos5098]

Hi Janet uh... I mean David. The video is great. I kind of like the walnut and cherry combination. I think it will grow on you :)

[@mandytrosky1888]

Best. Intro. Everrrrr 😂😂😂

[@pteddie6965]

You are right, Mandy. Soon, David's number of female viewers will soar.

[@irakopilow9223]

You chose two woods that change color with age and UV exposure. Most walnuts get lighter and cherry for sure gets darker. When this gets handed down to your grandchildren, it will look different. Nice job, nice project!

[@williamellis8993]

Nice tray. PIxelation was hilarious.

[@nicholasmaccani5493]

crazy drill press

[@dereishus01]

@10:11 YES so slick

[@SaltyVibrations]

If you don't want to buy a set of gauge blocks you can use the shank of a drill bit

[@MakeSomething]

Great tip!!

[@rp26101]

David, a legit laugh out loud with the shirtless intro. Entertaining as always. 👏 Great work.

[@sergiofilosofo3355]

I personally like the combination with cherry splines.

[@nextlevel8822]

10:30 is any of us that have ever made anything, ever. I don't even want to think of how much time I've spent looking for tools that are just sitting there...

[@daso34]

12:51 is similarly relatable. I can't count the number of times I've thought "should've done that earlier" in the workshop haha

[@ashivly]

This is the shit I subscribed for

[@dschmidt972]

I can't believe how quick you're working. It looks like only 20 minutes has gone by on Pulp Fiction playing in the background!

[@MakeSomething]

It’s deceptive. We played the movie twice.

[@wfleming537]

glorious intro

[@BenNawrath]

You serve a Royal with cheese on that? :) A couple years ago I needed to make 9 picture frames. I considered making them with my chop saw and tuning them up with my miter trimmer, but that sucks. Came across your picture frame sled, so I made a modified version of that (glued the square to a sub-panel instead of shims, so it's always square to itself, but adjustable). I also used the blue tape method for clamping, and purposely left the tape on for the splines, since the wood I was using was splintery. The glue cleanup is MUCH easier, so I'll be doing that from now on!!

[@jonwills1957]

I feel you should’ve made a Royal with Cheese! Very nice tray!
