[@MrCMLawson]

Love all your stuff! Have you thought about making QR code badges for each piece so guests can watch them being made?

[@elitearmadillo]

Dave, to be honest I didn't start watching your videos years ago for your skills as a woodworker, however I have to say i am genuinely impressed with how much you have improved, keep up the great work (and please take this the right way!)

[@zacprunty]

Skills. Techniques. Quality. Story telling. Style! From a physical perspective and artistc perspective! And that’s just the woodworking! The video work is just as top notch! Good job!!!

[@AnthonyBowman]

The angles are giving me strong "Bad Larry" from Chris/Foureyes Furniture vibes. Love it!

[@RYwoodview]

I'd like to see the speaker stands reversed so that they angle inward to the middle of the LP stand. Fine job in design and execution, and a good learning experience for us seeing how everything can be done at exactly one odd angle.

[@spiralstares]

Agreed! There is a visual tension created by the opposing angles between the speaker stands and cabinet.

[@LittleShadowWoodcraft]

I loved the excitement you showed when the stands glued up. I felt the energy! Look forward to the future video of the all natural finish. Beautiful project David.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Absolutely stunning

[@valeriewestmoreland4010]

I absolutely love your shop, your tools, set up, and all the items you make. My hubby thinks I'm odd because I enjoy all this. But he is very happy when we correct the mistakes that could happen when I use my geometry from my teaching days, we are retired and living the good life now.

[@splinters_66]

My brain is aching, can’t imagine how yours felt 😂 Looks fantastic, great to you see you coming at things from a different angle 😁

[@JohnKuiphoff]

I bought my first record player and some excellent speakers yesterday. I need a PERFECT audio system to drown out the hum of my six laser cutters, two CNC machines and five dust collectors in my shop. The timing of this video couldn't be any better. What an excellent build as well as a great taste in music. Hope I can spend a few days in Toledo someday :)

[@MakeSomething]

That's a lot of lasers and CNCs! Thank you John!

[@williammaxwell1919]

LOL.. 13 machines generating noise -v- record player! Crank up the volume

[@duncanstreet4955]

That project has turned out brilliant! Love all the angles and the finished item is spot on - great work!

[@Gorango27]

I don't post comments very often but I must say that is very impressive. I really hope I have the opportunity to stay in that house when it is available, just to see all this in person. Great job.

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!

[@sgsax]

This looks dope as hell. I love geometric designs. Thank you for reminding me of three things: 1) I need to watch Clerks again. 2) Consent is important. 3) Angles are hard. I would submit that the only thing harder than angles are compound angles. Those break my brain. Thanks for sharing!

[@AssemblyNotRequired]

I love your tambour door and Hi Fi pieces. I also love your fearlessness and your willingness to just dive right in. I started my apprenticeship in woodworking 60 years ago and it was drilled into me by my teacher that lacquer was the only acceptable finish. He was wrong! After I struck out on my on, I started looking for alternative finishing methods due to unrelenting allergies and skin rashes. Thirty years or so ago I found french polish and started to experiment with variations until I settled on the finish that is so very close to what you have come upon in the last couple of pieces that you have done. My ratios on the shellac/BLO are closer to 50-50 but that’s okay. Maybe at 75 i’ll try yours. My final wax has a little more carnauba and a less bees wax, but I like to rub out to a somewhat higher sheen than you. Wish that over the years I had been more adventurous in design, but i’ve built some great stuff and have a financially rewarding and aesthetically pleasing career so I don’t regret much. Drive headlong into your fearless future and great success to you.

[@MakeSomething]

All the ratios are purely to taste! Glad you found something that works for you! I bet you've built some amazing pieces over the years!

[@thomasholland7981]

I can’t explain why, but each time you have a movie playing in the background of one of your videos, I know which one it is. For example, today you have Clerks. I, II or III, that I couldn’t say.

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

I wanted to say that I enjoy your videos very much! Thank you for staying true

[@MatthewCampbell-dh5nu]

I actually was born and raised in Toledo! I now live in Virginia but Toledo will always be considered home! Had a lot of family that lived in Point place. I grew up on Brigham st off of manhattan but went to school in Oregon. Pretty cool to watch your videos with knowing we grew up in the same area!

[@denisoriordan6739]

That turned out so amazing David. Taking time is so worth it.

[@DrunkInPublic]

Absolutely gorgeous..... totally in love with this piece

[@egbluesuede1220]

I didn't think I was going to like this but it came out looking great. Cool how it stores records and lets you flip through them.

[@tylertassone6200]

That finish is stunning. Looking forward to that video!

[@mrmoto7682]

Truly gorgeous! Enjoyed watching this.

[@TheWoodLab]

Came out great David! Love how you stretch design wise. I can genuinely feel you enthusiasm when the stand glue up was done 🙌

[@davebauerart]

Thanks for the explanation on those angles, I’ll definitely be using this info!

[@matthewkendall7394]

That is a very cool design David. Can't wait to see what is next for the house.

[@sapelesteve]

Terrific project & nicely done David! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@stephencaldwell1123]

I love this design! I’m getting Keith Haring vibes when I see it all together at the end. Enjoyed watching this a lot, maybe one of my favorite designs you’ve come up with! Can’t wait to see your next piece.

[@michaeldoto4673]

Wow, this came out great!

[@J4Julz]

Love all the angles, and the design is really functional. I'd build it!

[@gregmize01]

amazing piece David!

[@philcrannick7383]

That piece(pieces) look awesome, top notch, one of a kind. Thanks for all you do

[@Vikingwerk]

That finish looks amazing!

[@christopherdubour6662]

hey David, that came out amazing! I love the design and especially the sheen on that finish. I think you and Daniel came up with the perfect speaker stand design to compliment the main unit, and it was totally satisfying watching this whole thing come together. Any reason to drill some holes and pound some pegs is good in my book! I have to apologize though, it took me a few sessions to watch this on my lunch breaks over the past week, hope it doesn't mess with your analytics!

[@mercutiojb]

Love the look, and I REALLY love how the albums fall to both sides of the center

[@Polarzbek]

Looks awesome David! Looking forward to hearing more about the drinkable finish!!

[@reforzar]

This looks amazing with the speaker stands! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Smurf_Hearse_368]

Can’t wait to see the video about the finish you are developing!

[@GrillerGeek]

Absolutely beautiful! I really like what you are doing with the finish and am looking forward to the final ratios.

[@MakewithMatt]

This all turned out great! Angles are definitely tricky and I always seem to mess up a few times before getting things right haha. Keep up the great work Dave!

[@pnerim]

Beautiful! I love it

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow this turned out amazing got a little lost in all the angles lol myself but you did an excellent job figuring it all out. Can’t wait to see the house finished. I’ve got a Neice that is into old vinyl records and she would love this Stand.

[@user-jh4gb1tg8l]

I'm impressed. Great project.

[@kenb6102]

Amazing build, amazing skills!

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

Super cool!

[@JamiesHackShack]

Turned out great!

[@jpalarchio]

Wow, that came out great. After weeks of hype on the podcast, definitely lived up to it!

[@PR-WoodWorkingCreations]

*The Build looks Fantastic!!* 🌟👍🏻 *Love the Angles and Angles are tough to work with but you did an Excellent Job with it!* ❤👍🏻

[@seanfuller1561]

I really hope you have a Twisted Sister LP in that stack of albums to play on the "Twisted Sister" Console System! LOL Love your designs and hope to one day get. to stay in this house and work with you on a quick project!

[@UbelKnubel]

Haha yes! The angles even remind me of their "TS" logo

[@JoshuaRes]

Love that the speaker stands look like they are dancing.

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Very nice, great job

[@compunurse]

All I can say, is this: with all that math it’s a good thing you don’t have hair. Your head would’ve melted the hair off with your brain working so hard. I really really like that stand.

[@dgoddard]

My daughter lives in Dayton (just north of it, actually) and I'd love to come visit when I go up there. Just had a new granddaughter and we're trying to plan a trip.

[@yvrbybne]

I'm not even supposed to be here today! Also; the speaker supports give the piece a real Keith Haring vibe which is awesome. Great build.

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

Wow, that's really clever with the angles on the record compartment, so you can flip through them

[@Horchata2336]

Great project! The vinyl will definitely sound better on that stand!

[@Pallet_Town_woodworks]

That looks awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't mentally comprehend angles. As soon as they get involved my brain just shuts down

[@jimsauber9252]

Talk about thinking outside of the box. Cool build. I felt my mind opening up throughput the video. Thanks for thinking different!

[@MakeSomething]

This is exactly what I'm hoping for! Thank you!

[@educatedrobotconsumer7219]

Real quick, so people are aware there are different types of tack when prepping two glued components, a wet tack basically means you can still push the glue around, a dry tack is if you touch it it wants to hold onto you and an aggressive tack is when you need to apply force for the adhesive to want to bite back and hold onto you, if a product recommends 20-30 minutes before joining don't think it's good to go after 10 mins because they want an aggressive tack the reason being is if the solvents haven't evaporated from the adhesive prior to the joining components and delimitation will occur sooner or later. The solvent will attempt make its way to the most comfortable spot which will generally be between the two glued surfaces or between the glue and the component messing with both those bonds. Solvent tends to linger when escaping adhesives so fanning the solvent away can help speed up the adhesives ability to remove the solvent more quickly.

[@rp26101]

Damn. That is beautiful. Great work

[@scottbyrd2157]

Btw awesome job as you blew my mind on the angles too!

[@scottjacoby2594]

While I love pretty much all of your designs. This is the first one where I litterally HAVE to have it. This is amazing. So ingenious to incorporate the angles for easy browsing of the records. I’d say for angle headachiness, I’d probably have stuck with 60°/30° angles but it still worked out great for you!

[@jamesmosley7794]

I love the project.

[@ddutton0]

Love it! 😍

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning pieces, Dave! Crazy beautiful work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@alfgundersen1058]

So so cool 👍👍👍

[@Parkhead_workshop]

My squarespace trial was up today so I came back to this vid to grab your code 🤙

[@its_marc]

Easy to suggest stuff after you watch someone else knock it out so brilliantly but I would of edge banded one side and not the other to see how it went! Looks class.

[@DietersWorkshop]

The board turned out really great.👍👍👍 A very nice piece of work. 👍👍👍 It looks great. 👍👍👍Best regards Dieter

[@3rd_stall]

KenCraft Trip Talley plus 1. Thank You for making my project suggestion.

[@kylerandall9141]

One of the packages could be working with you to build a picture frame sled/clamp set, maybe? So someone comes and works with you and afterwards they are set up to make themselves some picture frames in their own shop?

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Beautiful piece. Working with you on a project would be so awesome.

[@SuperCacahuete93]

Tres tres beau !

[@ifonlyiwerebelgian]

Great video. Mid century modern style stuff is so much fun to make, but angles are hell.

[@genisis53]

I like the new music! Not sure how new it really is, but I think it’s the first time I’ve heard it

[@BobMuir100]

I want to cry (with pleasure) when I look at this piece, I cannot visualise (not the right word but…….) the feelings I would get if I touched it!

[@masterricon]

Movie Night is a great tune, I would love to listen to your music on Spotify. Great build Dave!

[@kieranfoster902]

Very classy piece of furniture. Paul Sellers has made the furniture in his home too.

[@jonathanloiselle7675]

That’s a gorgeous piece. Toledo isn’t that far away from where I live in Canada! I should make a trip once it’s all ready!

[@jasonahurley]

I was very happy to hear the drill some holes pound some pegs song.

[@timvaughan3308]

Love how those angles allow you to flip through the albums on top of being an awesome design feature. One question though - have you tried flipping the left and right speaker stands? Having them nest, or at least give the appearance of being nest-able in the cabinet might be a cool look too. Either way, also love the diamond of negative space they're making as they are now.

[@jaredmcquiniff6174]

I would love to have the opportunity to come build something in your shop. As a beginner, it would be very beneficial for me. Good stuff!

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

Your videos are soooo fun!!!! 🤩 😂😊 👌

[@gregsmith_za]

you are so happy about that sled 😎

[@DetoxDubz]

Like ur vids man !!

[@trailbuilding]

Top Film choice on your TV

[@gingerbreadman80]

This is fantastic, as soon as I stayed in the home, I would swap the stands so the angles match. It might not be better, but I'm sad I didn't see that arrangement in the video.

[@KyleBarnick]

@makesomething. Dave this has to be hands down my favorite project of yours

[@chrisjaustin88]

Much better video than I expected to watch. It's not my personal choice for design. But it is designed and built well and was enjoyable to watch. And Dan's getting better at camera work ;p

[@c.a.g.1977]

wouldn't it be hard to fit this box with no right angles into a squarespace? 😉 The whole project came out awesome! Made some speakerstands myself last week. They are definitely not as classy as yours, David!

[@wayneswonderarium]

Take a drink each time he says, "angles are hard" 😅

[@tanjidurrahman3171]

Swap those speaker stands with each others and see how that looks. I think matching that angle with the middle part will look better. Just give it a try please!

[@DavidWilliams-bg5yk]

David, thats great..

[@jakes4680]

Awesome job. I’ve been wanting to build something to display some of my records. Also looking forward to another speaker video! I was expecting the speaker stands to be on the opposite sides to complement/supplement the angle on the cabinet.

[@MakeSomething]

That's how I originally was going to have it, but I didn't like the way that it looked

[@matthysloedolff]

Don't mean to be obtuse, but feel like it's acute angle to take on a project. Looka great, Dave!

[@russdixon614]

I think that is the best looking piece you have ever made, I would have screwed up every angle, hell i struggle with 90 deg at times 8-)

[@RonDavidowicz]

Brilliant project! I would have switched the speaker stands (left to right) so that the angles of the stands are nested with the angles of the cabinet.

[@lynnfoley8792]

Refreshing to see the products being more important than the tools

[@JoshVDW1234]

Clerks Sweet!!

[@nickharvey5377]

Can't wait till this is done I am from Ohio like a hour and a half away from Toledo so I hope to rent it one day

[@JNewellworks]

Nice work David! I know what you mean about angles.

[@ahmedalsanea6079]

20:57 good dowelmax hack to ensure flush never through about using the provided pin like that, I always used my fingers to ensure flush
