How to make a simple shaker table. Easy woodworking project.

[@c.a.g.1977]

8:42 Wait, what? Hey, you changed your shirt!??! Well, now that's continuity for you! Nice build, David!

[@gregmize01]

Your little brother did a great job with Square Space ad!

[@JonathanRansom]

DUDE! The pop of color looks awesome. I'm glad you tried that.

[@wlovett]

I seem to remember Christopher Schwarz visiting a shaker museum( Enfield?) and taking pictures under the original pieces and finding pocket holes with wood screws....maybe the shakers did pocket holes. Love your energy and take on life!

[@ZeoCyberG]

Yes, they did use pocket holes. It's actually a pretty old joinery method... Uses a special bit that you can use with hand tools like a brace to drill out the hole... A number of old hand tool woodworkers have demonstrated it...

[@shoey64]

Hey Dave, don't feel bad I got that same snow that you did just a bit sooner. See I live 3 miles from the Indiana Michigan line west of you. Stay making something your friend Shoey.

[@kellcomnet]

You being clean shaven is throwing me for a loop, great video.

[@Wordsnwood]

Nice mid-80s music videos on the TV... Oh yeah, elegant little table also, David!

[@williamsfamilycrafts5227]

Not only was this an awesome video... you transformed! Did not expect to see you without your beard and then back again. That was fun.

[@MrFvasconcellos]

Diggin' the Tears for Fears in the background. Songs from the Big Chair came out 37 years ago today!!

[@paulwright2818]

I was looking for an dea for a small table build. Why didn’t I come here first?! This is great stuff!

[@JkCanvas]

Genius idea using double stick tape on some plywood for a tapering jig.

[@dgoddard]

Love the added "rumble" to the drilling clips. Spectacular!

[@rolandrolson]

I love that too. Do you remember one of the videos with an impact driver sound in the background of anything that was used in the making process? These visual/sound effects are my favourites 👍

[@dgoddard]

@@rolandrolson Haha! Yes... and especially when he gets cut off mid-sent...

[@jaymzx0]

It's a Shaker drill!

[@Matt-je5hn]

That cherry though!! 🤌

[@billdiehl156]

As always with your videos, you crushed it! Looks easy enough for me to think about making as soon as I can work in my shop without getting frostbite. Love the Midwest!!

[@corpsman97]

Awesome as usual. The music is key, oh and wood, lol. Love the back ground images on the tele...

[@paddyr1568]

I cut leg tapers on the bandsaw, just follow the line and clean up with a hand plane. IMO quicker, easier, safer. But each to their own.

[@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc]

Love the bead detail. Laughed out loud at you not being a shaker!

[@robertmiles388]

That really looks good amazing video

[@jdgindustries2734]

Great table! Still looking forward to the MakeMusic album!

[@marcuspowell2510]

I think the Shakers would be supes jelly of your teal drawer bottom.

[@tooljunkie555]

Nice work Dave! Love shaker furniture. Should shaker stuff more often!

[@slxl]

Hey, man, really like your way of information delivery, keep it up! And kudos for editor for the camera shake while drilling - gave me some chuckles :)

[@patrickschardt7724]

Your idea of a personal journey for woodworking actually works for just about everything. I find a base recipe to use for cooking. I find a few others for flavor and enhancements. Then I personalize it to my liking. Add stuff, remove stuff, change quantities, etc Also you rock your beard. Seeing you without one just seems strange to me. Haha

[@seanmurphy5417]

A table and a clean shave if one day. Nice. You look more like your grandfather. Thanks for the video.

[@roggie77777]

It is nice to see your twin brother in the video. @8:40. LOL All The Best

[@BStreet666]

Thank you for using pocket hole screws.

[@cassidionline2002]

When you come for the woodworking, but end up watching the obscure 80's music videos in the background. 🤘

[@billbottsurfing]

You should wear orange more. Orange is the new black. 👌

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Nice shaker editing. Table is rad. You shaved 10 years off your face. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@COOPmade]

Cool use of acrylic for a little secret accent.

[@Battlered713]

2:50 Tears for Fears “Shout” aye!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nemo4907]

"turn a knob" - "drill pretty deep". Dave, working kinda blue for this episode. Kidding aside.... LOVE THE DESIGN, gonna build 2 for night stands.

[@automaticprojects]

Terrific video and project. I know it’s a year old but just came up in my feed again. (Maybe I commented a year ago too? I have two of your books and have been following the videos since Drunken days.) I thought the Shakers did use pocket holes!

[@brentfowler2317]

Hahaha, if you don't have a podcast, are you even a woodworker? Lololol. I just laughed my a$$ off!! Thanks for that, and another great video David..

[@renecimon5921]

This is great, can we get the plan?

[@epeiusgarage]

Great video! You inspired me to start my channel!

[@ckippenb]

Laces out DAN!

[@dennisdownes9319]

Shakers ......smakers! Build like you want to build!! Nice!! DD

[@BearMaked]

What kind of miter gauge are you using on the table saw? Looks simple and clean.

[@MakeSomething]

Jessem.

[@Belizzle]

I came to ask this exact same question

[@joelmcfadden889]

When you connected the drawer front the space between the drawer and the bottom and top rails was tight. How did you create additional space between the boards?

[@Kkuts37]

Great table! You are not at all a Shaker! You are a Mover AND a Shaker! Awesome work as usual!!

[@matthyland1218]

Love this, would love to see more shaker style furniture

[@alanwasserman8176]

Dave Nice table

[@robertbusek30]

This is a lovely piece! Did you sand all the pieces before construction? Also, what did you sand this to? New subscriber!

[@skewedmaker]

Nice remake of that table. I like the rounded bead on the bottom of the skirt. I think you got your beard too close to the bandsaw, but glad to see it grew back quickly.

[@jdgindustries2734]

Bandsaw wasn't the culprit... Hair isn't conductive enough to trip a SawStop, and we all know the table saw is the only dangerous tool in a shop 🙄😆

[@synister281]

Who’s the dude without the beard? Great video!

[@RonPiggott]

Dead Or Alive on the TV in the background. You Spin Me Right Round Baby

[@Viken43]

Dave great project, plans purchased ;-)

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!!

[@Shawnbbeckner]

Ya I like acrylic good idea

[@dandavis5832]

That came out fantastic Dave!! I love the light finish!

[@timd5343]

thnx this clarifies a few things

[@t.j.postal8309]

Well, watched and loved this video. Now I'm going to pivment to another one.

[@MakeSomething]

hahahaha!!!! Pigment is my new favorite word.

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Dave! 😃 Incredible looking little table!!! About the shakers(?), they did use pocket holes! They didn't have a fancy jig, but they did use it. If I'm not mistaken Rex Kruger showed an old shaker piece where he found some! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@MakeSomething]

I learned something today! Thanks!

[@MCsCreations]

@@MakeSomething Hey, I'm no Joshua Bardwell! Come on, man. 😬

[@josephawatson]

I'd like to think that the shakers being as practical as they were would have used pocket hole joinery.

[@ZeoCyberG]

Yes they did, you can find them in old dressers and table tops they made...

[@josephawatson]

@@ZeoCyberG i remembered that today. I've seen a few places it got used.

[@dubya13207]

Wow, that was a lot of time between the ad break and the final assembly

[@3rd_stall]

8:43 Surprise!!! Good Jump Scare. 😃

[@bernardlaherty]

If you don't have a podcast, are you even a woodworker? Best tip in the entire video.

[@reforzar]

I prefer to taper on the jointer but great project!

Belo trabalho e explicação...eu agradeço muito sua ajuda. Parabéns...continue sempre.👍👍

[@ddutton0]

Wait who was that doing the add, the guy with out a beard! Great video David

[@jayhitek]

Hey David, quick question.. At the beginning of the video :14 when you cross cut the huge board on the table saw with the mitre gauge, How come you didn't flip the board around and cut it being supported along the whole mitre gauge and have the off cut on table saw fence side of the blade?

[@MakeSomething]

That’s how I should have done it. 🙂

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done David! That shaker table turned out great! 👍👍😉😉

[@jayhitek]

No one is talking about his clean shaved face at the end?!?!?!? Is this the multiverse?!!

[@LifeHappensLetsFixIt]

Catching the dowel. Drops dowel on floor three times. Catches fourth dowel. Throws it on the floor. 😂🤣

[@MakeSomething]

stinkin' dowels!

[@JoshuaRes]

“If you don’t have a podcast, are you even a woodworker?” 🤣

[@icz0927]

Can I use legs that are 1 1/2”? I don’t have 13/4” stock.

[@anaphylaxis2548]

My main question when I saw this project was, how do I cut the tapered legs? That trick you showed is great! I don't have a tapering jig. Thanks David.

[@BigJonHose]

Great work! Love how your shop has come together! I love all the art on the walls and lights and everything! Do the colors on the walls ever mess with your eyes trying to color match or things like that?

[@LaBizounerie]

Great video once again! It's a neat idea to intergrate your short into the video, first time I've seen it done! 👍

[@handyandy8671]

cool video!

[@WoodenLegWoodworking]

Man your beard disappeared for the sponsored part, then it came back again, only to go away at the end. What in the world is going on?? 😂

[@tim8767]

Drill go BRrrrrrr

[@torch02]

Respect the dowel...

[@ldj051987]

Goodness it looks like woodworking in the Sesame Street Studio

[@MakeSomething]

You’re Welcome!

[@jryanramer]

Dude I love Shapr3D! How do you like it?

[@MakeSomething]

I'm liking it a lot. Getting to know it some more and I'll probably make a video on it.

[@cristianvel619]

Pet shop boys domino dancing playing for a few seconds in background.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Great video as always. David awesome project. It turned out very unique and beautiful. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

[@hamonthecob]

Tears for Fears ftw!

[@mehulpgajjar4901]

Sir what is the software you use to show drawer out coming animation?

[@MakeSomething]

Shapr3D.

[@efsavage]

If anyone is concerned, rest assured that the Shakers would definitely have used pocket screws if they were available. The central ethos of the whole style was balancing the practicality of both construction and function.

[@MakeSomething]

I would agree. Thank you!!

[@jack002tuber]

This whole build is a pun that ends in "one night stand"

[@MakeSomething]

hahahaha!

[@drodver]

Made a few plant stands that are nearly identical in design to this. I used pocket holes for the first one but switched to mortise and tenon for the last two. The screws started cracking the legs and I wasn’t happy with alignment, the screws still caused some shifting. The mortise are tenons really didn’t take that much extra time.

[@pedge001]

definitely thought the sponsor was going to be dollar shave club lol

[@AlexVargasPipa]

Just a poor knob! Time for you to make some resin knobs (fancy / basic / small / long / colorful / classic / on the lathe / with silicon molds / you name it). Great channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work David! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@shanesanders1351]

What CAD program is that?

[@MakeSomething]

Shapr3D

[@sgsax]

A little disappointed you didn't follow the rule of "always start the screw first". Table turned out nice anyway, even though it needs more weiner dogs. 😁 Thanks for sharing!

[@MakeSomething]

Hahahaha!!!!

[@19GoBlue]

My man looks like a McDonald’s fry with ketchup on top 😂

[@walter5401]

Noooooooooooo. When you said pocket holes my heart broke.

[@MakeSomething]

I’m gonna need to to get over that real quick. 🙂

[@shoey64]

What is the name of that double sided tape? Wow. You went smooth face towards the end of your video does your face feel cool?

[@MakeSomething]

a little too cool with all this snow we just got!

[@sergiofernandomenoniquinta1967]

Muy buen trabajo 👍👍👍👍

[@roforroid]

Dude, you are definitely not a Shaker. You're a Mover!

[@GarrettCrosgrove]

8:45 something seemes different...

[@Jonamission]

Video Idea: Show lots of different ways of making drawers slide and compare them by usability, price to DIY, and aesthetics.

[@MakeSomething]

You should make that video! I'd watch it!

[@JonesNate]

Video goes brrrrr. 🤣

[@MakeSomething]

🤣
