The end result - making someone happy - the best part.

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

The best part of the video was her reaction at the end. That makes it all worth it.

Glad to see this is the top comment. I wholeheartedly agree!

Seeing someone so happy with what you made just for them is so fulfilling. We need more Janna’s in the world!

My surprise favorite thing about this video: the message on your hand about cat food

[@brandonevil9416]

I wonder if he remebered it lol

[@chanaheszter168]

What? It's not a feline-mandated tattoo?

[@ktulu193]

Don't forget to buy cat food! Awesome piece as always!

[@Craftlngo]

the cat will for sure remember him in the delicate way, cats do. For example Sitting on his face when he is asleep.

[@chainreaction8977]

I genuinely thought that the lady at the end was going to say "I'm ready for you, sensei." I need to get off the internet... .. . Brilliant work, mate.

[@disco8913]

You sir, are an Artist. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you. You are a master of your craft and I myself have been inspired.

[@nottheone582]

Janna was awesome! you could tell she really appreciated the extra touches you put in. great work!

[@theangrypainter826]

Just fantastic! And the best part of our jobs is a happy customer!

[@claudiomenesesc]

Lovely Janna.

[@petermarsh4993]

Dear Michael, beautiful job. Well done. Love the patterned plywood. Note that a bespoke plywood supplier near me {only 750 km away} carries sheets with grain lengths on the face. Manufacturer must have seen your work and decided to copy it!

[@geekymonkeyrestorations1920]

Thanks for highlighting The Leeds Woodcrafters Insta page. I live in Leeds and never knew they existed.

[@chrisdavis1722]

A special piece for a special lady. Beautifully done! 👍

[@MystiqueULH]

I could not live in a small place like this at all. I'd go nuts

[@lobeehold]

I love watching your builds, both for the design aesthetics and the engineering. This time, however, I had to stop and laugh at "CAT FOOD" making a debut LOL

[@pacinpm2]

This lady is so cool and happy.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

This project turned out awesome! I really enjoyed the depth you went into showing all of the steps

[@sreda_w]

It's great that she was her age "checked out" plywood furniture and plywood pattern. My parents would have been shocked, they don't share my love of plywood. Another cool works from you.

[@falconsaviour1487]

I really really appreciate people who love and live in their craft.

[@BeauChampion]

The way that fits into that space is just great! Super functional.

[@mowburnt]

That large painting on her wall is stunning

[@jewdd1989]

The gorgeous desk and built ins are just incredible. I think it’s the use of space and besides it’s well made, high quality, and fits her space perfectly even the aesthetics… wow! Everything has its place, I love that. I think that piece goes so well with all of her delicately painted pieces you’ve already done, to have the softness of the wood, it’s just organic in many ways yet very organized and precise, perfect, clean lines… good job as always!

[@mikekoponick5028]

Janna reminds me of someone I used to know. Always made me smile. It’s so neat to have people like them in your life. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! I would like to see more of the Origin Shaper.

[@randommusings48]

Her reaction was so heartwarming. Well done, Michael!

[@matthewmarello1347]

I also grew up with imperial and I think in it. My work has shown me how easy metric is but to be fair with imperial it's pretty easy too. All the fractions are proper they fit within one another and makes perfect sense.

[@loveexpressions25]

You do an amazing job building projects. It's always good recording your happy customers (if they allow you to record) but the ending part on how the lady was happy made it more interesting because she liked how it turned out and the way she asked. Man, I wish I could have some tiny piece of talent that you have. Awsome job.

[@kkoff200]

This guy covering his end grain with end grain. Mind blown!

[@neilscole]

As a Canadian, I've grown up and still use a combo of metric and imperial. When measurements get smaller than an 1/8", I can't conceptualize that size and switch to millimetres. Canada has all the confusing ways to measure things.

[@2kidsnosleep]

I do exactly the same. Fractions??? No f’ing way, we are going to mm’s

[@raeperonneau4941]

😂

[@tavdy79]

I'm British, use either Imperial or Metric depending on which works best, and can (mostly) convert between the two pretty easily, but the system Americans use for cooking requires conversion tables, and I don't see why I should be doing equations just to make some biscuits.

[@KstewLover1]

Im Dutch we don’t use inches but they are on a few tools we use here, and sometimes when I measure it falls directly on inches no way I’m gonna go into half mm xD

[@mohedaicebear]

fellow Canadian, we measure so many things in such quirky ways its really funny. but I definitely understand the confusion over changing methods to make it less confusing lol.

[@alessandromcf5681]

I'm from BRASIL and I've watched almost all of your videos until I've done some work

[@BrenoLuna]

0:19 I want to befriend her already! Michael: "Say 'hi', Janna." Janna: "Hi, Janna."

[@Liliarthan]

Wish I had all of your tools coz this plywood style and technique looks super addictive! I would be making everything with it

[@dinahplacido5786]

Way better than my old one. Perfect height

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice, Michael. I see why she's so happy with it. Take care. Bill

Incredible to see this fantastic work and the possibilities with end grain. And of course the satisfied client, a wonderful humbling feeling that never gets old

[@Ravenmadlunatic]

Holy crap that back sliding in was so damn satisfying

[@TheHenitalGerpes]

A comprehensive write up on patterned plywood would be a gamechanger for many of us, I think. Covering how to do different patterns as well as yields could make for a decent little book you could sell!

[@spottyblueSR8]

The peril on the pillar drill 😂 - until you rescued the moment with that itty bitty bit o pink tape, that is 🎉❤😅

Beautiful, Michael! Fantastic work! 😃 It was great to see that big smile on her face! Pretty sweet! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ashleyosborne6239]

You’re patterned plywood is just gorgeous and such a fascinating process to watch (the edge banding looks amazing on this piece and that video was so cool to watch). Not only is this super functional (like the other custom pieces you’ve made for her, it fits in her space beautifully and the best part, her reaction when you installed it!💜

[@alexlewis8468]

I don't know why I watch these videos, I don't have the space or the tools to do any of this. Great build, your work is ace!

[@donnie7578]

I also grew up using Imperial! Great Job! I Love This Bookcase/Cabinet!

[@SilvaSRT4]

I have watched probably every video you put out, and this is by FAR my favorite. Love seeing her reaction and all the things you have made for her. Beautiful work man!

[@user-qu2qk9mz6d]

I never thought ply could look so good man. Your work is so clean

[@aaronellingsen5404]

The whole pattern plywood thing is cool, but your design style of simple, functional and beautiful in perfect balance is what really makes it awesome. Btw, you can get the Blum drawer locking devices that have side to side adjustment as well. They're just a bit more expensive than the standard clips, but totally worth it - especially when there's very tight tolerances or grain matching, etc.

[@amitzaicaner68]

Amazing piece of modern woodwork. The lady seems to be very lovely and if she is happy with it, so job well done! Congratulations on your skills to design and make forniture and, not to mention, make others happy.

[@10FingersWoodworking]

Very nice, and several examples of interesting and innovative methods of maximizing space in a small apartment. Love it.

[@mikeobryant3367]

Damn! That turned out great!

[@mattpaul5389]

dude, seriously inspirational and gorgeous work!

[@paulbriggs3072]

Even European Airbus Industries uses SAE measurements which is mainly imperial. By the way you can probably trim the edge banding with high quality sharp pruning shears, Adirondack Guide boats of Vermont cut their thicker strips that way and the snip off cleanly. I have used that method to cut 1/16" basswood strips quick and cleanly.

[@seanroberts381]

That handle bit is so simple but beautiful!

Awesome build Michael! We have a lot of places in our house that want custom pieces like this. Super inspiring to see you make them seem more approachable for me.

[@Kkuts37]

The doors are stunning!!

[@rosannefarrell1243]

What a wonderful relationship!

[@michaelshalem1368]

Nice project! Suggestion for a tweak: the bypass doors will look better with a smaller gap. You’d need to use inset pulls for clearance . You can get the raised center in the track grooves down to about 5 or 6 mm if the stock will hold.

[@Swingin_wit_Willy]

Love your work mate. The whole edging ply with ply is mind blowing. Never thought of doing it this way. I have made Damascus looking edges from light and dark layers of veneer edging. Thats something I think you would like to experiment with. Just a tip, Easy way to hang a drawer face... pre drill two screws in opposing corners on the diaginal, screw them through just so the tip sticks out through the face of the drawer, then align it and give it a knock where the screws poke through the drawer to transfer 2 marks onto the back of the drawer front. Pre drill and fit. Then you can adjust it with a mallet, then predrill and fix the two remaining screws. To fix it permanently. This way you font need double sided tape! Cheers for sharing

[@anewthoughteveryday4592]

You know what you’re doing 👊👍

[@scottss213]

Nice project well done. Didn't think plywood could look so nice

I was really hoping you’d use the plywood edge banding on a solid wood panel in some sort of twisted alternate reality.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you have put up here, loved the corner drawer/book shelf concept, I guess I have a use case for that on my own house! So much time and talent invested in half an hour and what matters it's that smile you know, cheers for you sir
