Mid-Century Nightstand with Hexagon Patterned Drawers

[@jpcreativeimagery]

That's fantastic, so glad to have found your channel! Very straight-forward, no bs.

[@gnusndn301]

Thanks for the video. I really like your direct no nonsense description of what you're doing and straight to the point. very good No fluff talk

[@shaunhayward]

This might be the greatest nightstand design I've seen. Mid-century modern but with two generous drawers and the 3D-hexagons seal the deal!

[@arth.4196]

Good craftsmanship

[@Lutzboater]

The India ink finish and the Hexagon drawer fronts are an excellent look. Beautiful nightstand, well done.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! I had a vision in my mind, and it turned out pretty close, so I'm pretty happy with it!

[@johannesopper3727]

Thanks for including and pointing out mistakes that you made, it really helps learning and makes starting own projects less intimidating! The result really looks great 👍

Not bad. I like the design. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from California.

greetings of success from beginners

[@MrJKellerLewis]

Starbond should have sponsored this! It would have been great for gluing the drawer fronts to the substrate

[@DIYMontreal]

Aww shucks, good thing Bessey had me covered on this one!

[@evelynmueller6523]

simply beautiful!

[@SamsWoodCreations]

Love the drawer fronts 💖

Unless you try out the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.

[@DIYMontreal]

That is so true! Keep pushing myself, but it's worth it!

@@DIYMontreal You're welcome. see you all the time. healthy

[@ZulfikarAbdulaziz]

I never thought India ink can be used on wood until I saw your video. Thanks I learnt something new from you. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@roberthardy7812]

En plus d'avoir un atelier très propre et très fonctionnel, vos réalisations sont de vrais chefs-d'oeuvre. Et vos explications sont précises et concises. Bravo!.

[@DIYMontreal]

Yeah 🙌

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

Your shop has come a long way in the last year or so. This piece shows the benefits. This little nightstand is one of my favorite pieces improvised by a woodworker here on KZbin. Simple. Elegant. Well crafted. Your talents rival the best of the best.

[@DIYMontreal]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate that! I'm definitely no pro, but always pushing my limits to learn and grow, so thank you for noticing :-)

[@falconela3397]

This channel is amazing. In just 15 minutes there are so many teachings. For those of us who are trying to learn the trade of carpenter, this space opens many doors for us. I am truly grateful for each explanation and for the care put into each image. The nightstand was great !!! I am from Argentina, I passed this comment through the translator. I hope the translation is faithful. Thanks again!!!

[@danhagar6508]

Your organizational skills and creativity always amaze me. Your melodic instructions and soothing voice make the process seem effortless. You have incredible attention to detail and I love the ink you used because the wood grain is incorporated in the finished product. Thank you

[@DIYMontreal]

Wow, thank you!

The hexagons turned out great on the front of it!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks, couldn't be happier with this one Bruce!

[@cyber_tano]

[@VictorLevrero]

Awesome. I'm using this as inspiration for my custom nightstand. Thanks.

[@timdales8300]

WOW! Well done! Great execution. You are lucky to have all the necessary tools!

[@KenpoMoogy]

Very nice design with hexagons and I love the ink application! I can't tell you the last time I've seen someone use wood slides, maybe never. I think they're a great and expense way while paying homage to old ways. I really appreciate how thorough you are in your videos, please keep it up!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thank you so much!

[@timothyjackson1779]

I love it

[@Malder666]

I loved that you use a jig to do the hexagons, not a CNC as seems that all are doing these days.

[@DIYMontreal]

Doing my best to keep it accessible, but so true that CNC would have been so much easier 😂

[@carlostikinhoramon]

Thank you for showing us this amazing project, give me a lot of ideas and inspiration, thanks!

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome, my pleasure!

[@williamellis8993]

Really nice build, Marie. I liked the hex sled when you made that video. It really paid off here. Take care. Bill

[@DIYMontreal]

It sure did! Now I just want to add hexagons to all my builds...

[@paulschwartz6074]

I'm a big fan of MCM design and this is just beautiful -- love the contrast, 3D hex fronts, and great tip about India Ink. I also really like the scale of the piece. For me, your videos are the perfect balance of instruction and artistry, and your editing and production quality is superb. I also really appreciate that you include mistakes and obstacles, as that's how we learn and grow. Love your dabs of humor, too.

[@fashionwoodwork4623]

Great jop - Thanks ! 🤝💐🥰

[@PamSterling]

Super cool! Thanks for sharing :)

[@billbenoit1607]

Great build Marie! I really like the drawer faces. Glad you mentioned that WWGOA video because that white Elmers bottle jumped right out at me! Definitely going to check that one out! Keep up the great work!

[@DIYMontreal]

Ah ha! Definitely go read the article, it blew my mind!

[@normanbott]

I've never tried India Ink as a dye - it looks good with the Ash, just as you predicted. The carcass mitres looked perfect too. My next project's going to be mid-century wall furniture inspired by Danish designer Poul Cadovius ' "System Cado". That's got mitred corners and I'm a bit apprehensive ! Tests on MDF first I think. Nice video and results as always Marie.

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks for the positive feedback and good luck with your project!

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty amazing work! It looks amazing! 😃 Nicely done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I never seen anybody else use ink to blacken wood and it really do better job with visivility of wood grain. Great project! New here, will check up more :)

Awesome, welcome aboard! And I'll refund be using this finish again. Totally love it 😍

[@m.a.6781]

Hey nice video

[@craftedworkshop]

Looks great! I built some similar nightstands a few years ago and they’re still one of my favorite projects. I love India ink as a finish.

Thanks so much Casey! This one was lots of work and seemed to take forever, but it paid off! :-)

Hey Marie your back:-) Great job kudos on putting In dowels for the base I always avoid them when i can I just never was very good working with dowels. I see you have your new bandsaw how do you like it?. Great job 👍

Dowel are my best friend until I get a Domino ;) I have been wanting a bandsaw for years, and so far I love it! Just need to find excuses to practice on it.

[@woodywoods5373]

[@bartloncke9359]

nice design ideas you're showing here. quick tip: why don't you dry assembly the back of the nightstand during the glue up of the mitres? this ensures straight corners without worries.

[@DIYMontreal]

Good tip 👍 I had checked for square and didn't think of that.

Simply beatiful!,,,thanks for sharing mam..new subs here,,full support to your ytc 👍

[@SimgoWood]

beau design. souvent j'aime utiliser des agraphes 1/4 (18 gage) pour les panneaux minces comme celui à l'arrière. beaucoup plus solide que les clous mais impossible d'enlever le panneau sans le briser. la beauté de la chose c'est que l'agrafeuse ROK coute environs 40$ chez canac et fonctionne très bien contrairement à d'autre types cloueuses bas de gamme.

[@DIYMontreal]

Merci pour le conseil!

[@AznofHK]

is wood movement ever a concern for the hex pattern, or is gluing down to that 1/8" ply already enough to prevent any problems?
