6 Easy Projects with Basic Woodworking Tools

[@MakeSomething]

Plans for these 6 projects: makesomething.com/6craftprojects I misspoke at the beginning and said 10 projects. That was the plan for this video but then edited down to 6 and forgot to record a new intro. Opps!

[@RJWWoodworks]

Belated HBD, Duke!

Flocking fibers sounds like something you say when cursing in front of kids.😅

Or a band from the 80s

[@ivanmunoz2961]

I didn't get it until I said out loud in the bathroom (echo) hahaha funny 😂

[@expatmoose]

I used flying fish till now but will change to flocking fibers😂😂

[@theresamiller1446]

LOL, I say “cuss words!”. It always makes those around me laugh, especially my sons.

[@igoslomo]

Love your channel. Beginner woodworker (female, 61, probably not your regular audience) and I’ve learned a lot from you… as for Wen - I have a track saw from them and LOVE IT.. of course I’ve never used an expensive tool so I have nothing to compare to except how much easier it is to breakdown plywood. Anyhoo, thank you for the ending! And I love the talking head stuff.❤

[@MTNurse]

Hi, I will be 60 in February and just starting out in wood working so we are NEVER too old to start new things. Good luck with all you do and wish me luck please too. I am nervous around the big saws and that has held me back for years. With the help of my son, I am sure I will get to creating things soon. A great 2024 to you!

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Good luck to you both. It's such a fun and rewarding hobby/career too​@@MTNurse

I’ve been following you for about 4+ years now, since I started woodworking. You’ve been my favorite TV woodworker since I saw the inlay video you did all those years ago. Anyway, I just wanted to say, since I’ve been following you so closely, I felt it when you said Grandpa Picciuto died this year. I’m really sorry to hear that, man. It’s very clear how cool of a relationship you guys had, and the respect you give him on your show must have made him proud of you and proud to be the guy who gets that kind of recognition. Anyway, my wife and I are extremely excited to book a weekend at your AirBNB and some shop time with you when all that gets rolling. We are literally putting some income tax big-money aside for this so we can actually make it happen. We are both huge fans. Anyway, your videos only get better. Thanks for making them and putting in the work to make them

[@MakeSomething]

oh man, thank you! ❤️

[@g-dadsworkshop8503]

I remember fondly the video you made featuring your Grandpa at 100 years of age still woodworking in his shop. What a beautiful story! I’m sorry to hear that you now have lost him. Maybe something that could be positive from his loss would be to channel his love of woodworking into your future projects. As you work on each piece of furniture for the new house, keep thinking of him and how proud he would be of your accomplishments! That will no doubt give you even greater joy and satisfaction as you complete each project. I’m looking forward to traveling with you on this journey via KZbin! Keep the creative juices flowing! 😊

[@jayhitek]

I love how Kelly didn't say one word the whole segment and just mimed the whole thing. 😂 And RiP to Grandpa Picciuto! That man was great!

[@shaynesabala]

My deepest condolences for your loss of your grandfather. I’m really excited to see your house build, wow what an idea. You and your wife are so creative and passionate about woodworking I’m like a moth to a light. Happy new year and best of luck in your business next year.

[@craigdebsnyder4887]

I don't know why but for some reason you were a hard sell for me. But I have grown to absolutely look forward to your video's. I have grown to love your humor and definitely look forward to your new home series where you will be making all of this new furniture. Love your wife and dogs as they always add a special something to your videos. Keep up the great work!!!

[@irakopilow9223]

David and Kelly are like the Penn and Teller of woodworking 🙂 Analytics shmanalytics, let's see more of Kelly in your videos, especially highlighting the thought processes behind the design for the flipper house.

[@williamreinhard]

Man. So sorry about the loss of your Grandpa. He was such a cool dude. I'm glad you convinced him to let you make a couple videos about him and his shop. So excited to see your progress on the rental property!

[@IndyGuy09]

You and Kelly have a real Penn and Teller vibe going 😄 Love your videos. Always appreciate your creativity, something I wish was more of a strength of mine. Keep up the great work! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[@mindyhall4638]

Just LOVED the end of your video! Awkward or not, you are wonderful!!! Love your excitement, passion, and positivity! Hi Kelly!!!

[@hoofrog]

I am so sorry to hear about Grandpa Picciuto. It was always nice to see him in your videos. Happy Birthday Duke and hello Kelly, good to see you again as well. Can't wait to see you blow up even more next year. Now, if you don't mind, I need to go Make Something.

[@jasonbailey9139]

I stayed to the end. My condolences for the loss of your grandpa. To honor him I will Keeep Moving! Always love it when the Mrs makes it into your videos...somehow it make it seem more like you're just a regular guy having fun in your garage. Weird, I know. Can't explain it, but that I have the same reaction to Peter Brown. May you always find water and shade.

[@BenTaylor11]

I was super sad to hear about your grandpa. It’s been so fun following you and I love hearing you talk about your grandpa. I had a great relationship with my grandpa too.

[@wtjohnson3765]

I made it to the end and got the spine jig. thank you. The sand in the place shirt reminds me of an old Bahamas shirt I had as a child. Best wishes.

[@mikejones2057]

I skipped past most of the action because I had to sell all my tools when I moved country and went to the talkie section! Good to see your "silent business partner" 🤣 Thanks for all the knowledge, wisdom and entertainment on your channel and the podcast this year. Have an excellent 2024 bud!

[@dannyhale7645]

Great projects. I don't comment much, but I've been watching your channel for years. I remember the video you did with your grandpa in his shop. He seemed like an amazing guy. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@jimrosson6702]

Hi Kelly, Happy Birthday Duke, Dave I’m so sorry for the loss of your Grandfather sending prayers to you and all your family 🙏🏻❤️ it’s not an easy thing I lost my Grandfather at the age of 99 just a month shy of 100 and he was my biggest blessing and where I got a love for woodworking when I was a kid and now trying to get back into woodworking in his memory and you and your videos have been one of the biggest inspiration for me in this journey so Thank you for all the amazing videos and amazing ideas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s to your family

[@bluecurlygirl]

Happy birthday Duke. Aw gorgeous wee dogs. We've always been dog people. Had a gorgeous golden lab retriever (that wouldn't retrieve a thing unless she felt like it!) for 13 years. We miss her still. Now with two kitties who'll be 2 in March. Christmas tree is fun! Daily workout, several times a day. It's a different ball game with cats but we love them too. They're mad fun. Anyhoo, new subbie here. Here's to 2024. Looking forward to seeing how the new house goes. Merry Christmas.

[@laidenc]

Hi Kelly and happy birthday duke! Thanks for a year of artistic woodworking and design. You inspire me greatly and wish you all the best in 2024!

[@Kernowwoods]

So sorry for your loss dude. I heard a lot about grandpa on the making it podcast. Sounds like one of a kind. And yes, please add more of you being you into your videos. 🤙

[@pteddie6965]

I think that I will enjoy watching you 'outfit' the new house. Maybe, I'm a little weird,(I am certified weird), but I enjoy listening to you talk. You have a wit and sense of humor that I think is a lot of fun. I especially enjoy the banter between you and 'Dangerous Dan'. I look forward to the remaining December videos and to watching you build things for the house. Merry Christmas. Thanks for the video.🤠

[@mrooney7]

Happy Birthday to Duke. Hello Kelly. I love your personality David and will always stay to the end. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@barryhalstead9299]

Sorry for your loss. I know your grandpa is smiling down from heaven at you. Thanks for the video. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas. Oh happy birthday Duke: I love walnut too

[@SchlegFace765]

Happy birthday Duke!! Enjoyed Kelly's Teller impression quite a bit. Merry Christmas and happy 2024 to you!!!

[@TheMrAshley2010]

[@leadminer4957]

Personal thoughts. I found the ending segment as good as the projects ❤ Next year, I think it would be a nice touch to hear from the "Project Manager" (at the end of each video) with her design thoughts / critique of what you've made. 😊 As a home woodworker, I, too, have a "QA Manager" 😂 Merry Christmas to you both from England 🎉

[@rianwhitby3480]

I hope you and Kelly both have a stellar Christmas period and a great start to 2024 David.

[@chris_mcentyre]

Cheers's to Grandpa ✝ Thank you for introducing us to him. Looking forward to another year of entertaining videos.

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

Being a creator (small creator) myself I know all too well to stay until the end. That's were all the good stuff is. Thanks for the video and the freebie. Marry Christmas to you, ,Kelly, Wallie, and Duke (and Happy belated Birthday).

[@MMWoodworking]

As a WEN 12in Drill Press owner, I can say that it was 100% worth the money, but you also get what you pay for. Not a machinists drill press, but perfectly solid for woodworking. Buy good drill bits, they make a huge difference to its performance.

[@jesses6859]

Happy Birthday Duke. Love your videos. My twin brother showed me this and haven't stopped since. Always watch your videos through unless I'm following along and pausing and stopping. My twin and I started our own painting business May of 2021, starting 2024 we are exited for things to start getting bigger. We mainly operate word of mouth so can't wait. Making my dad an all wood crossbow for Christmas this year. We are wood whittling a bunch of ornament as well (never whittled before). Please do not ever stop making content.

[@nathanpegram2312]

I have quite a few wen tools and I honestly love a lot of them. I don’t have too much to complain. Well worth what you pay

[@matthysloedolff]

These are such nifty little projects that would make great gifts. Thanks for sharing how to make these. It was great to see Kelly on screen with you for a bit too! Also, hopefully your fur kids Wally (Wallnut) and Duke (happy birthday buddy) don't become big headed now that they are KZbin superstars 😉 Merry Christmas to you too and I really hope 2024 is a year of phenomenal growth for your channel.

[@GrillerGeek]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I enjoy your channel and mix of projects. I have been a maker for a long time, but just getting into the more serious side of woodworking and have learned a lot as well as being inspired by you. I do hope your 2024 is as awesome as you are hoping it will be! Also, it is nice to see another person from NW Ohio doing great things!

[@stretch3736]

I always watch to the end, thanks for the code🙏So sorry about the passing of your grandpa. Happy Birthday Duke. I enjoy sitting down in my favourite chair and seeing if there’s a new “ Make Something “ video. Very informative and entertaining. Love the banter between you and your brother as well.

[@mikaelnilsson1037]

Thank you for this year. Can't wait for 2024 and more house projects! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[@washinthewind]

Alright, I just had the silliest idea for a project that is right up your alley; Nesting Bandsaw Boxes. Start with a big piece, like 24" on a side, cut a bandsaw box out of it. Then, with the material you removed from the drawer, turn that into a box, etc. etc. Bonus points if they actually end up fitting inside one another.

[@splinters_66]

Happy birthday Duke. David, I know your grandpa was an inspiration for you, and you are continuing that trend by being an inspiration for myself and many other makers . Love your work and your vids. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I look forward to seeing the house develop.

[@Warshipmodelsunderway]

Happy Birthday Duke! Your dogs are so cute. I not only sang to my dog, but composed impromptu songs to encourage him.

[@lauramarshall6376]

We also have dachshunds! Your guys are sooooo cute. Love your station and have recommended it and your books to many people. Merry and happy.

[@MakeSomething]

❤️

[@JkCanvas]

I had thought about using a chamfer bit for miter corners but wasn't sure how it would work. Guess you answered that for me. thanks for the tip.

[@ToolsandTime]

Some cool and quick projects to consider, thanks for sharing those with us. Your Grandfather still woodworking at 100 is such an inspiration!

[@tom314]

great set of projects, I especially like the clock. It's so simple with so many possibilities of easy customisation.

[@tom314]

also, Cheers :) I'm looking forward to all the house projects :)

[@dougprentice1363]

Nice video. I like the budget shop idea. Glad your grandpa was still woodworking. Its hard to lose them.

[@peregrine5327]

Interesting that you put the bandsaw box so early in the list in terms of "easiness". I've always found them super difficult! I think because unlike a LOT of other projects, I can't rely on fences and such to keep my work pieces in proper orientation, I actually have to follow an organic line with a bandsaw, and for some reason I find that really hard.

[@MakeSomething]

My first ever project was a bandsaw box! And my second. 🙂

[@MakewithMatt]

Love your work. These small builds are great and would definitely make awesome gifts! I stuck around to the very end, cheers! I have a dachshund named Chilli and we’re his 3rd owners, not sure his age either but we think at least 12 now. He’s a long hair and a total barking jerk but the best cuddler and we love him. My Nono Zambelli was a woodworker hobbyist and made all kinds of furniture. Nothing perfect but it’s mostly all still around 40+ years later. You’re lucky to have had your grandfather around as mine passed before I got to know him. I think my passion for woodworking comes from him. Anyways I wish you and your wife all the best in 2024! Let’s blow this place sky high baby!

[@429TURKDADDY]

Sorry about your grandpa, he seemed wonderful. Hi Kelly! Happy Birthday Duke! Get Wally a treat for his time!

[@danlynch1154]

Happy Birthday Duke! Appreciate these David. Share and work with my Granddaughters so they can learn, build gifts and confidence.

[@dougdavidson175]

Happy birthday Duke. Merry Christmas to you & yours. Take care & stay safe.

[@anthonymartinez5144]

I might be late but I always stay to the end. Great video, can't wait for 2024. Sorry for the loss of your grandpa this year, lost mine as well.

[@mandyleeson1]

Happy birthday Duke! David, good luck to you and Kelly on the new project - I love your videos now, but I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing you furnish your new place and that can only add to your fan base. I loved your chat at the end of this vid, but I'm sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I hope the analytics didn't let you down. All the best from Australia, Mandy 🎄

[@travisjohnson9201]

So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I love your channel and the new content, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for future videos

[@CarryOnChronically]

Happy Birthday Duke. Your puppers are adorable. You def need to do something inspired by them for the house. 😘

[@ryan_robertson]

outro= jay/silent bob vibes, LOL. TBH I love when the spouse chimes in. Mic her up next time 🙂 They're really and truly the supportive ones.

[@FRAGAFE]

I am sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I remember the video of him making all those wooden crosses. He seemed like an amazing man and we are all better for having a brief look into his life and your relationship with him. I mean, the projects in the video were awesome too... but I like to think my priorities are straight sometimes ;-) Cheers!

[@seanloughran6714]

Great ideas, I really need a band saw! I have a few Wen tools as a weekend warrior and they've been great. Happy birthday Duke!

[@erickdanielsson6710]

Kelly, David... Have a Most Wonderful and Precious Christmas! Best wishes for the New Year... Thanks for sharing your work..

[@lisakuhnel1449]

Cheers, Happy Birthday to Duke, Merry Christmas to Kelly, you and Wally…thanks for all the great content!

[@buraydaw1]

Good luck to you and your lovely family

[@513Allen]

David I really enjoyed this video. Woodworking has been my passion for a number of years so much so that I owned a Woodcraft Store for the last 24 years in Dayton, OH. I have now retired and am looking forward to maybe working with you. I also really love your Podcast "Making it". Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife and two weener dogs. May 2024 for fruitfully.

[@MakeSomething]

Oh man, thank you!

I hope 2024 is the best yet. Thank you for inspiring, entertaining, and educating all of us.

[@margueritewhite3038]

Awesome projects!! The new house sounds so exciting!! Enjoy the process !

[@billdiehl156]

First, Happy Birthday, Duke! And my condolences on the loss of your Grandfather. Felt like I knew him from your videos. Next, what’s with all the round overs? We all know that chamfers rule! Don’t know how many people noticed the big gulp Kelly took from her drink after your “it’s been fun” comment. 😂 Keep up the casual conversation at the end of your videos. I liked it. Made you seem more approachable and human. Not like the monster we’ve all come to know and love. 😂 😂😂 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Kelly, Wally and the Duke!!❤

[@mattrinne]

Make Something Monster 🤣 gotta be like a swamp monster made of rotting walnut or something.

[@jimfromri]

I stayed until the end and enjoyed your informal chat. Wishing you a blow up year in 2024. Sounds exciting.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I did notice the different table saw. Ive been woodworking for 11 years now. My shop when I started compared to now…. Soooo different. But I always liked watching videos no matter the tools they used. I watched Jays Custom Creations when he was working out of the apt with less tools and WWMM with Steve. BUt I also watched Mark the Wood Whisperer. It didn’t make me think “Oh I could make that if I had those tools…”. Instead it helped me learn not just how to make… but what to look for when I did upgrade my tools. And sometimes I found that I cold make the same things on my cheaper tools and with less tools. I just had to be creative. Always excited to see what you are doing next. Going to have to try that coupon! Thanks! Happy Holidays!

[@kennethgreer]

Dave just said analog clocks are timeless... Lol. Nice one.

[@kingwood207]

Hello Kelly! Happy Birthday Duke! My prediction, 1 million subscribers before the end of 2024! Blowing up!

[@trentthompson2928]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUKE!!! You ROCK Wally!!!

[@shieldofthebear1784]

Happy birthday Wally, nice to meet you Kelly. Great video.

[@danielmuscatell3603]

Great ideas. Thanks for letting us into your shop and home. And most of all, Merry Christmas!

[@noreazter9055]

Long time subscriber, love your videos. Can you tell me where you got those box fans with the built in air filters??? I've only seen homemade ones where people duct tape filters to a box fan. Thanks Dave, keep up the great work, and Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@Smurf_Hearse_368]

Yes, this!

[@MakeSomething]

Got them locally at either Lowes or Home Depot. Sometimes they are on Amazon but for a ridiculous price. Like 3 times more that what it costs in store.

[@westhewizardjohnston6338]

Search for "box fan air purifier"

[@robertreed711]

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I really enjoyed seeing him in your videos.

[@richardfellows5041]

Happy Birthday Duke! Good to see you Kelly. Cheers to you both for a wonderful 2024!

[@JNewellworks]

Hello Kelly and Happy Birthday Duke! Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks for the great content!

[@DoItProjects]

Hello, Kelly. HBD, Duke! Thanks for the gift, David. I can watch woodworking videos anywhere. I watch yours because of the style and personality. A little talking a-ok. Happy New Year!

[@bgpappy30]

Happy birthday Duke and hello Kelly. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ART AND LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOS! I made it to the end and I am gonna try to make a couple of these gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your talent but mostly your time! I learn so much from you and I am grateful for you and your channel. If I could pay you I would most certainly be a patron for you. Thank you again. One Love to ALL!

[@donvankleek1196]

What the flock? I didn't know there was something as a flocking gun. Happy Birthday Duke.

[@davidjefferds8532]

You knocked this one out of the park!!! Great video.

[@apollo3604]

David, ive never seen those box fans with filters on them. Thats such an easy basic improvement to a sanding setup

[@kevinetheridge6153]

These are really fun projects. Nicely done using all the more entry level tools too. I wanted to see that clock in a variety of colors - sort of partially opaque different vibrant colors. I think it'd look cool that way too.

[@theresamiller1446]

I stuck around to the end, enjoyed the whole video very much. Really looking forward to seeing what all you do for the house. Everyone needs a nickname. All my fur babies have/had at least one they answer to, just like my two legged kiddos. 😊 Love the tutorials. I’m gonna work on things this whole next year to make gifts for my family and friends. I’m so excited to try some of your ideas.

[@bjsmithart]

Happy Birthday Duke! Hey Kelly. Let’s blow up 2024!

[@paulstutzenstein]

Great video as always! How have I never known the trick for gluing the end grain and letting dry before gluing the final time. I always learn something new. Thanks!

[@bobby-c7731]

Cheers. Happy birthday to the pup. Watching this video I got a strong Penn and Teller vibe. In a very good way. Well done. I’m a new Patreon member and looking forward to seeing you blow up!!

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

I just love how you “Flock” your Flocking technique is very unique. Keep on Flocking 👍🏽

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

And: Happy Birthday Duke 🎉 Did I miss something? You no longer have the regular TS? NeverMind… I just had to keep watching.

[@DrewTrachy]

Kelly is like the Teller of Make Something. Too cute!

[@413DaveRN]

Cheers! Waited until the end! Also any ad with cute dogs is worth watching!

[@thefate6656]

Awesome video, cheers you to you and your family. The end of the video had some major Penn and Teller vibes with Kelly's silence and your non stop talking. LOL!!!!! (you can talk as much as you want, I always enjoy and stay until the end) I hope 2024 is a year of awesome growth for your channel. I have learned so much from you and can't wait to see what you have in store next!

[@tekviper9]

I stuck around. Cheers to you and Kelly!

[@ChrisChartrand]

Hi Kelly and Happy Birthday Duke! I’ve been a subscriber for a hot minute and you have been a source of inspiration to me. Let’s blow up in 2024!

[@PatioBenders]

Dave, your channel places a smile on my face everytime i watch a video. Keep up the great work and yes to more commentary, absolutely and more bantering between you and your brother!! Thanks for the gift and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@WizzardofOdds]

Happy Birthday Duke. Your idea of basic woodwork tools and mine are quite different.

[@COOPmade]

Thanks for always being yourself. I’m putting my own videos out again soon. You always inspire to do more and get better. Merry Christmas & happy new year!

[@johngalvin1653]

Have a great day, Duke! a great life!
