IKEA Hack Project Build

[@rDunfee]

The clamp struggle is the most real thing a woodworker has ever put in a video

[@alkalinedale]

I REALLY felt this

[@ynkfish85]

As I was watching I was literally thinking 'the struggle is real', and what comes popping up 2 seconds later?? 😂

[@Thmz2006]

"Collecting potential". I will remember this when my wife again has a comment to my hoarding of semi-ready renovation projects.

[@robshamel3210]

Same

[@intent2modulate]

This might be my favorite video of yours so far. The audio breaks made me hold my breath for the glue-ups, which is extremely relatable. I also "collect potential" and quickly gain and lose interest in projects. Thanks for taking the risks to make the videos you want to make.

[@sgsax]

This may be your most documentary style video ever and I'm totally here for it. 98% story, 2% how-to. Love it! The struggle with the clamp, I felt that on a personal level. Thanks for sharing!

[@BreakRebuildRepeat]

Loved the small breaks of reality with the glue ups, very nice to ground the quick cuts with reality.

[@rickypacheco]

IKEA has a few gems of beautiful design scattered throughout the store, good eye for spotting those and using them 90 degrees from the way they were intended.

[@NiceAlex]

I'm pretty sure he's using them in the intended direction. They were stacked sideways at the store.

[@FreekPieters]

You are more and more becomming the woodworking filosopher. Love the calmniness (is that a word?) and the fun in the videos!

[@iron.emu111]

A new horror film: A Cabinet In The Woods. Love the quiet humor with the clamps in this one. The struggle IS real! Looking awesome, keep it up!

[@takeahsiaor]

It's always cool to see how the style of your videos changes whenever I rediscover your channel every few years all the way back from your drunken woodworker days. It's like I'm getting a glimpse into the different seasons of your life and it always feels a bit like catching up with an old friend you knew in high school. I hope Weenz is still doing well and that you and your wife still make your yearly rings. Keep growing and pushing forward! See you again in a few years

[@fernwebb962]

This video was on point. I really liked the music at the start and end. I need to make something similar but have been intimidated by the steps - this video helped show how basic it is by just adding together simple processes. Thank you for the video.

[@Shannon-v3r]

I absolutely love what you’re doing. I, myself, have very little creativity inside me at 41. Or maybe I do and just too afraid. This wasn’t the case when I was younger. I know it’s not just me but humans seem to have the perverse inclination to give up on dreams and or let fear stop us. I have tons of potential in my shop and am fighting to get excited again but these videos definitely help

[@benvinje]

I opened KZbin and seen half the thumb nail and thought that looks like a Picciuto piece. Scroll down and it obviously was. Good job I love these simple drawers made into furniture projects.

[@markduggan3451]

Great information, especially letting us know how to get away with getting something "for future potential"

[@jimrosson6702]

Just another amazing video Dave I love the new video style. I get so much inspiration from watching you channel. Thanks for sharing and that sucks about the TV it’s crazy how fast the little pieces of water traveling better off the TV than you.

[@bubbak5106]

Potentiallist not a horder. Got it, Thanks! 👊

[@torinhalsey6313]

I love the clamp clip. The music stops and all attention goes to the clamp screw. We've all been there at one time or another.

[@theeverydaymakers]

I'm a big fan of the music to awkward silence transitions. I use em from time to time in my videos and they make me smile every time. :)

[@Flako-dd]

Ikea has value-engineered the crap out of the furniture so that the "classic" Ikea hacking of furniture doesn't even make any sense anymore since you'd be cutting cardboard. *BUT* the homeware is still quite good, and just building your own furniture around it like you did is actually awesome!

[@splinters_66]

Love your work David, may you long continue to inspire the making community 🔥👏

[@toddsmash]

I've been on that same struggle street you were on at about 6m15sec so many times! I had a great laugh. Thanks Dave.

[@jeffreyfernandes2662]

This exactly how my brain works with projects! Refreshing to hear someone else has this potential problem of not hoarder but creative genius. Of course his means I have to actual do something...

[@masterricon]

I LOVE the editing of this video, I think you're really narrowing in on your new video style. 👌

[@adrewsarp5756]

Man I just love your style

[@christopherlongstaff3742]

Good evening I just wont to say thank you for you Jimmy and bob have done you don't no it but you saved me from a dark place I have Court Up with all on youtube and have just found your podcast I am on episode 20 When I get to the latest one I will say hello , and thank you again For all you do in the community.

[@Nachoze70]

Can we all have a moment of silence for Picciuto Shop Screen #3. Though short, it was a good and well lived life. 🙏

[@steeleanderson1172]

So good, love the slow build intro.

[@Sayed_HA]

Beautiful design. Well done!

[@Ferreri.Workshop]

i really like the collecting potential mantra, gonna hold on to that one for sure

[@MCsCreations]

Wonderful shelf, Dave! Truly amazing work!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Kernowwoods]

Best video so far in the new style dude. Really related to the story telling 🤙

[@BaterFPV]

I love that you're in toledo!! Not many on the 'tube from the 419 like us!!

[@poolcrusher90]

the last time I wore gloves while using a powered cutting tool was when I was cutting aluminum. I was using a 14inch radial arm saw. The chips were hot and sharp.

[@sandrochiavaro7831]

Love the intro and artistic concept. Great work David. Bummer for the 📺 . Live and learn is all we can do. You finish looks great!

[@merlinsatrom6678]

Great build David! Love how you deliver potential to useful!

[@autisticallyleathal]

Love your work. You give me so much insporation and motivation to finish projects.

[@emilevoyer123]

Thanks for another great video

[@JosephGillen]

That impact shatter pattern is really cool. You should make an art piece designed around that.

[@grahammcelrath8167]

Just helped me reshape my hoarding tendencies. Thanks, Dave.

[@sawittchen]

Hi, it seems like we have quite a few things in common. I also collect film cameras, books and instruments (I also play e-bass) and I love woodworking 😅 🤩 Greetings from Germany 😊

[@brucewelty7684]

Hey! Neat TWO ejections in one video!

[@WoodworkJourney]

Great and inspirational as always

[@MrBrian-Columbus]

Two videos in the same week?? You rascal. Love it.

[@dgoddard]

That's a nice looking project! And something I could actually use. Great job.

[@danmcdan8278]

Cool project and I love your approach. At 12:16, however, you are standing directly in line with another missile!

[@steveferguson1232]

I have been looking for an idea for ALL of my wife’s face cleaners and lotions, you get the idea. Lol. This is great. I am like you, as I collect cameras also. But currently it is only cameras that I have used throughout my life time, and I am 65 so I have a lot of old cameras. Would love to chat with you about this sometime. Great job as always David, and I also have been in contact with Toledo Plywood since I will be making my wife her dream kitchen next summer and need about 25 sheets of plywood for the boxes alone.

[@sapelesteve]

Nice work on that cabinet David! I need to make a few cabinets for book storage so I am going to use your idea. 👍👍

[@mercutiojb]

I know that feeling! I've always said I "collect capability". Tools, materials, plans...

[@Xaqaria]

I've been watching a bunch of manufacturing videos from Korea and Japan. Almost always, these professionals - at all levels (small mom and pop through to major manufacturer) - are wearing gloves. Lathe, table saw, grinder, polishing wheel, you name it. I was surprised at first, but you're reasoning to wear gloves is probably the same reason they do. You do you.

[@hecubus]

Great editing!

[@gudrune]

Some object inspired by the broken glass, like maybe CNCing wood into shard looking points of impact could make a cool looking cabinet front, or panel, or logo, or something. There's beauty in remembering we are mortal, make mistakes, and learn from them. Sometimes a reminder of a crucial mistake can keep us on the right path.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Looks great!

[@bluedragonfly5]

Inspired by your creativity!

[@jasoncox7244]

I love the Harbor Freight F clamps. It really says something that you, with your Saw-Stop and big-@$$ Jointer and friggin drum sander, still rely on the HF clamps. Solid product is a solid product. [edit: I definitely own at least 30 of them of various sizes, lol]

[@MakeSomething]

Best deal on clamps ever. I swear by them.

[@geeksam]

For the shot where you used gloves, I'd personally have used a push paddle (I have the "GRR-RIP Block"). I've only had a table saw for about a year, and I still feel like "atavistic terror" is the appropriate response, so I use push sticks, blocks, or paddles for any cut that will put my hands within 4-6 inches of the blade. Your reasoning about splinters also seems reasonable, though-especially for that first big cut, I might consider a glove on my left hand and a paddle in my right. That said... can we talk about the moment at 11:26 where you use your gloved hand to push a piece *behind* the blade? That one gave me a pucker. (Thinking about it, I realize the riving knife makes this safer than it looks, but the camera angle makes it look pretty bad.)

[@TheCarpenterGirl1984]

Great all are beautiful excellent congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

The struggle is real….. LOL. Great video. I enjoyed everything about it. My favorite thing… “I am a collector of potential”. I totally need to make a sign for my shop that says that. I’ve seen some of your videos where you went to thrift stores. I do that often. Sometimes I’ll see something that inspires me. Maybe it’s a piece of furniture. Maybe it’s some small thing. I often will buy them and take them home so that I can create something like it… recreate something like it. Or… make it over completely. Poor tv. Glad it was the tv and not you.

[@Zimm2000]

Excellent, as usual. 👍

[@BillDiehl-bf2bf]

I used to love picking out things at Goodwill to incorporate into my woodworking - wonder where I got that idea - thank you, David. Never got around to using much of it, but made me smile after I lost my wood shop knowing that my ex-wife had to deal with getting rid of it.

[@AppelmoesArtandPhotography]

I have the same thing! I also collect potential and sometimes I loose excitement in a project forever.

[@dragon16806]

Good job!

[@AngelMartell-h3n]

"Than that stupid router to make the shelfs" 😂😂😂 i feel you on that brother lol

[@DrunkInPublic]

i felt "collecting potential" in my soul

[@JoshBCamp]

Yeah gonna need a poster design around this collecting potential idea. If you could get on that 😊

[@DumpsterMarcus]

i do more of the Collecting then the potentialing hahahahaha What a GREAT project!!!

[@truthymchurtsalot7188]

Love your videos David with or without your brother behind the camera HOWEVER I just can’t stop looking at your beard are we headed toward St Nick? what’s the end game here? #mesmerized

[@KyleBarnick]

@makesomething. I’ve been watching your videos for the better part of forever. I gotta say I love the evolution of your style into the current format.

[@MakeSomething]

thank you!

[@tonyozimek2116]

Look at me, I am a collector!!

[@MichaelReopelle]

Love it

[@stephenwest3658]

A few months ago. I was cutting some small oak limbs ,to make some coasters .I was using my miter saw and I guess it came of the fence . And then boom! A piece kicked back hitting me in face and leaving me with a nice black eye. Luckily I was wearing eye protection or it could have been much worse ! I should have known better and just used a hand saw . But that's what I get for being in a rush lol

[@travisg1759]

Might want to buy an extra TV or two, or perhaps move them from behind the TS. :D

[@Solidfluids]

Would the Sawstop still react fast enough if you wear gloves? It might pull the fabric in and not stop instantly doing more damage than if it reacted instantaneously on the touch of skin with barehands. I might just prefer a splinter in that case.

[@dstarr3]

12:41 An edible Fusion file for patrons, huh? I gotta get on that Patreon

[@MakeSomething]

😂

[@ElEnanoAr]

"A collector of potential".. I've never heard that idea and it completely describes my collecting habbits, now I know how to describe my tendency to buy tools for "when I need them".

[@karasekjh]

1:45 Funny how you have the Festool logo covered.

[@bretts2356]

Maybe put a sheet of acrylic over the front of the TVs? Not sure what kind of glare that might cause but it could potentially save you a few hundred bucks and some ass-pain next time you get a kickback arrow shooting off your saw.

[@dwightl5863]

Or perhaps use the other side of the rip fence to make that cut! IMHO

[@jewdd1989]

I do that too, I’ll know I’m going to build something but I cant force myself to be ready to start it and if I do it rarely works out whereas if I give myself time then, when I am ready or not procrastinating anymore it works out really well. Is that add?

[@metabeard3788]

When you replace the TV, maybe put a sheet of plexi in front of all of them

[@JyB818]

is that an original tube screamer? looks well loved

[@MakeSomething]

It's a 90s version I believe.

[@NickDClements]

1:37 ADHD! At least that's why my excitement comes and goes.

[@michaelwandling]

I said the same thing lol. My house is full of "potential" projects

[@RexusKing]

I wear latex gloves (the medical type) dealing with plywood or splintery woods, they are tight but tear easily

[@BenNawrath]

I was once cutting strips for a cutting board. I think I made a rookie mistake (long time ago) and was just not pushing straight. An approx. 1" square foot long piece of maple came screaming back at me and hit me in the belt buckle. Talk about lucky. Barely felt it. I stand to the side now too.

[@steeleanderson1172]

Can relate to the heavy breathing and complete focus during the glue up

[@johndowning8019]

Wear disposable gloves, latex/nitrile. I recommend latex because the stretchiness allows me to reuse them more easily. They protect from the minor stuff and rip away when caught

[@MakeSomething]

That's a great tip. Thanks!

[@DanLowery]

If it was the Columbus Ikea and I saw you I would have freaked out! Haha! Do you glue your backs in or just hold them with the brad nails?

[@MakeSomething]

❤️ Just Brad nails

[@carrolte1]

@6:10 I said that in my head, and then the text slowly appeared. lmao

[@kenalsman7374]

I love the way you described your collecting philosophy/addiction/practice. Maybe we share some DNA.

[@FredrikRambris]

The last track sounds like something Kraftwerk used to make. And what a craft you work. See what I did there? 😊

[@mattrinne]

Not to mention the craftiness you can work with that big muff sound that potentially popped in the screen.

[@DrawBoySeanie]

I felt that clamp struggle

[@drumunl]

I always think, "Next time I'll make sure the clamps are ready first." And that never seems to happen 😂

[@DrawBoySeanie]

@@drumunl Haha sure I always end up dropping one anyway, or realising I meant to get more out and now the glue is setting

[@dom11949]

the collecting potential muse is not easily stirred

[@Rob-Hannon]

I am someone who also struggles with focus when something else get creatively exciting. What do you when that spark hits and you are already in the middle of another project? This happens to me all the time and I typically push myself through, but there is a noticeable slowdown once my brain would rather be designing something else.

[@MakeSomething]

Unfortunately I don't have any good advice for you. Because this is what I do for a living I force myself to finish what I'm working on before moving onto the next exciting thing.

[@LaBizounerie]

Great project!! How much for your Origin? ;)

[@LLOR]

Just put one of those Bob Ross “No mistakes only happy accidents” stickers over the broken spot on the TV

[@georgequalls5043]

You really don’t need the filler music. The sounds made working is good enough.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! I make all the music in my videos!

[@JonathanRansom]

I've collected so much potential. Now I just need to figure out how to convert that to actually finishing a project...

[@ronkluwe4875]

If you are going to use gloves, I recommend you use mechanic's gloves. They are a much tighter fit than the gloves you wore in the video, have good finger touch, and will provide splinter protection. Only time I wear gloves around rotating tools is when I am using a grinder with grinding wheels or cut off blades. Since those tools have "smooth" cutting surfaces, they don't grab the glove.

[@JSeed47]

various things: was that a kids big wheel? hahahah do iiit!

[@worldwidepete]

That tape dispenser made me laugh at how ridiculous it was. Until I realized how much time it would actually save. Now I need one.

[@MakeSomething]

You need one.

[@glynprice3815]

Big fan from the UK. But why don't KZbinr use the crown guard? Obvs not with dado stack. Did I miss something as an apprentice?

[@MakeSomething]

Be as safe as you can be!

[@MAKEITSF]

Just wondering why you made the cabinet so deep, if the bins don’t go all of the way inside. Great video though!

[@MakeSomething]

So the legs would be spread out enough for stability

[@Patrick-en2rv]

How much do you want for the Origin? :) Great videos!
