We will cover a lot of what I learned over the past 7 years and how you can level up your builds from beginner to pro. It's not all about expensive tools, instead its understanding design elements and refining your build process.

First video I've seen of you and I love your delivery, philosophy, candor, and video edits. Gonna be here a while now. Say, you got any bourbon?

[@kevinscholl5299]

I'm thinking "next time " would be a great name. It's too high and too far apart . A triangle design would be better

[@sz72909]

Could you please tell me what you said about "Nick at Ped??? Studios", I replayed that portion multiple times, but cannot get the spelling.

it took you 7 years to figure out how to make furniture that looks like it was made 50 years ago? 70s Style is always a mistake.

You should call the bar ‘Dovetails’ because it’s the best way of connecting two things together. 👀

That sounds perfect!

Nice job man, blown away with how nice that media console came out, major respect. Also the fence bar is awesome. I’d call it “Indecision” because, well, it’s always on the fence.

[@TheJerham68]

This video gave me some needed confidence and i'm currently building your Ultimate shop cabinets (the uppers right now) and it has been frustrating with the silly mistakes I've been making. Great plans BTW It has been a true test of my truly beginner skills.

[@leiwa100]

Your stuff just started to show up in my feed, and your build looks amazing .

[@prasadspin]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@oreoninja918]

Literally my favorite KZbin channel being a beginner in woodworking. You keep things at a level that makes things seem less formidable while letting people know valid and valuable information. Everything in your videos looks "considered" As for the bar. A good name would be "the learning curve" Shawn's first time using power tools and you wont be walking straight after a couple drinks at the bar.

[@Lincolnstww]

I greatly appreciate this comment - yes this vid got a lot more attention to keep it “considered” thanks for noticing. I like the bar name too.

[@oreoninja918]

Best. Woodworking. KZbinr. Hands down. Entertaining, funny, informative, encouraging. Thanks for doing what you do, John.

[@Lincolnstww]

Thank you Jake. Much appreciated

[@Polemistis93]

Honestly makes me feel so much better about my journey in woodworking. I'm constantly comparing myself to the professionals of KZbin and beating myself up about my pieces, but videos like this make me feel so proud of where I've come since I started!

[@TheJerham68]

I do the same

[@Lincolnstww]

We all start somewhere! Just keep rolling and you will look up one day and be amazed at how far you’ve come.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Never compare yourself to someone better, just draw inspiration from them, knowing with time and practice you'll make things as good or better. Let your imagination lead the parade, and the woodworker will follow. To see your progress, once a year make the same thing.

[@p4fizzle]

@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n But it takes me about a year to make anything... 😂🥺

[@rbzbreezy]

This comes at just the right time for me. I got rid of all my pine and construction lumber, built up the courage to go to my local hardwoods store and picked up some hard maple, white oak and walnut. Im letting it acclimate like you suggested in your other video for the next couple weeks. Dude I gotta say When you came on the scene I was hesitant but you won me over with Star Wars and your approach to speaking to your audience. Thanks man, may the force be with you

[@chriscastagner1]

Love the bar idea I would name it "Wilson W. Wilson's Bar" or "The Wilson" after Wilson from Home Improvement.

[@JerkDogJ]

If I may, perhaps the "Tipsy Wilson"

[@seanmurphy5417]

Had the same thought. Gets my vote.

Holy cow I never watch a sponsor plug, but you made yours so entertaining I couldn't look away!

[@edemyre8993]

I really, really, love your teaching style and the advice that comes with it. Well done.

[@drewdawson44]

Such a great video, Jon. I've watched this one multiple times since it sums up (and reminds me of) many of the build considerations I've learned through KZbin and hands-on experience in my first few years of woodworking. Looking forward to your future builds/videos

[@petenelson8136]

Love your style, and it's nice having you back. Also love the tip on not getting hung up about the size of things, that's one of my biggest failings.

[@generalesdeath8180]

I love your channel. The way your process goes reflects so much closer to what actually happens when i try to build something. I don't think I've ever made something that has gone perfectly from start to finish and there is always some modification that needs to be made. Thank you for showing what 98% of creators are too embarrassed to let us see. I think it makes you much more relatable and as always the humor is on point. God bless from Florida

[@sawdustadikt979]

Another great video! I really like that taper jig. This is one of my favorite wood working channels, you really keep the fun in this trade. I’m a self employed renovation carpenter of 30 years, but my real love is site building cabinetry and shelving. I don’t have shop, yet. I get so many great tips and inspirations from channels like yours. You show great integrity with naming where your inspirations for this project came from.

[@mattbean8076]

Beautiful build! The gap between the legs and main unit really elevates the look of the final product. You have quickly become one of my favorite builders on KZbin, and I wanted to echo your sentiment re: measuring. My father and both of my grandfathers are "Master Carpenters" - as in, they went through the full apprenticeship process, and as a result I grew up in professional grade woodshops and am pretty competent as a woodworker myself. One of the best bits of advice my father ever gave me was to "take as much human error out of the process as possible" well that and "only a CENSORED CENSORED measures every time" and I learned early on to create jigs, templates, and stop blocks to allow for repeatability without the need to measure, because every time you measure is another opportunity to introduce human error. You mention sticking to a plan when you have a situation where you're making cabinets for a specific space - one of my grandfathers spent much of his career building custom cabinetry, and he had such a time getting things to fit that he ultimately ended up buying reams of super wide butcher paper that he would take to a job site to tape up and physically mark where things were rather than taking down measurement numbers. This allowed him to ensure everything fit before trucking it to the client and finding out he had to cover a half-inch gap or something.

[@simonbaker2342]

Love the “Flip ‘N Sip” bar. Keep up the great content!

[@rob5800can]

Stumbled on your videos a few weeks ago. Follow a lot of youtube woodworkers and love watching ishitani, kobeumsuk, pedulla, four eyes, blacktail, ect make things that I don't have the time, tools, or patience to make. I am a humble small shop maker and I have really enjoyed each of your videos I have watched. You come at it with a very logical lighthearted perspective and I have really enjoyed your tips along the way. Please keep making content. Keep up the great work!

[@The42Joker]

I feel like you took all of the most important tips I learned about woodworking over the past 20 years and dispensed them in this video. So much knowledge delivered in such a concise enjoyable delivery. Can't agree more with all of the comments that you are definitely the best woodworking channel going. No overhyped fluff, no pushing to buy useless tools. Great job man. Side note, at the risk of sounding like a total Woodster, I liked white oak and walnut before it was cool. I like a few other woods too but you probably never heard of them.

Sir! I absolutely love your channel and envy your knowledge. I find myself rewinding a bunch because I laugh at what you just said and miss the next thing.

Great video! And the advice you give here is perfect. I felt like you must have been watching me as I improved as a woodworker. That media cabinet is amazing. If you’re looking for video ideas I’d love to see a video on inset drawers and doors. I recently did my first build with inset doors and it was so so so hard to get the size and reveal absolutely perfect. Thanks!

[@Erik_The_Viking]

HA HA HA!! Love that bit with Matt Estlea. Templates and gigs are real time savers and prevent a lot of measurement mistakes that can easily compound each other. Beautiful work on that cabinet - a nice upgrade! I'm making a table for my parents which is my first "real attempt" for mortise and tenon joinery, and although I have a few whoopsies it came out okay considering everything.

[@Lincolnstww]

Matt is great. I’ve yet to have a project that doesn’t have a whoopsie or two

Hey, glad to see you put out a new video, we've been waiting! Also glad to see you rep two of my other favorite channels, Matt Estlea is a stud and I'm amazed he's not more well known. I found him while shopping for a veritas plane and have since watched nearly every video he has. I literally just stumbled across Nick Pedulla's channel last week and all I can say is wow - truly inspiring content. That guy says more in 5 minutes of not talking than 99.9% of content creators do after talking for 30 minutes. You three are in my personal list of top ten best woodworking channels for sure (as is your other fun hidden gem - Third Coast Craftsman, dude has next level jointery skills!), each for different reasons. Keep it up man, you guys have me interested enough in creating a channel that I created a different account under my business name just to post this!

Great video and I really like the way the build turned out. Like you say, taking your time is key and adding small touches and pushing your skills beyond a comfort zone always helps in these situations. In your case, it works perfectly. Plus, Walnut is overused now, so it’s nice to see something a little different. Keep up the great work. Also, I completely agree about Pedulla Studios; the build quality and videography is absolutely superb.
