Of all the woodworking videos on KZbin yours are a “stand out”. You make it so easy for novice woodworkers to understand, the cutting list, very well paced build, basic tools, not to mention the affordability & useful nature of your projects. Thank you so much.

[@TheRehabLife]

Wow, thank you!

[@Itmovesme1]

I like your style guys, your not talking us to death, you post what's needed for the project.. its a simple straight forward idea and build..

[@TheRehabLife]

Thank you!

I love that your instructions on every build are literally easier than building anything from IKEA

Thanks so much!

I just discovered your channel and I've found 2 things I want to attempt already! I'm a woman whose always wanted to learn how to build things and your videos are so thoughfully and easily laid out it gives me the confidence to try! Thank you!

[@arizonaheatwave4080]

Cant wait to see the video where you make a workbench so you don’t have to work on the floor anymore! Kills my knees just watching this. Haha

[@JerkDogJ]

I have 2 benches and will be building a 3rd one, but I still end up on the floor sometimes. I get into a zone and go primitive when the bench is cluttered. 😅😅😅

[@gauravjeet2181]

i love the minimal tools approach you guys have unlike other wood working channels who have a workshop background ...this is u r USP !

[@TheRehabLife]

Thank you!

[@dwaynerobinson7629]

I would suggest cutting the inside side pieces to fit the box instead of suspending it with the trim pieces. Just to be sure it's sturdy. It doesn't need attached and only on the piece at the bottom. The trim will hold it on place. That's just what I would do. Great project!!!! I may attempt this. At work, they hold raffles for our charity projects. We help the schools provide summer break lunches, help with the local foster agency etc etc This would be a great raffle item.

[@eddieme2009]

Nice, very creative... I will probably put support blocks in between for my version of this and ill see if i can punch hole and put some wires in between. Thanks

[@splifsis25]

You telling me this whole time I've been scared of doing 45-degree angle cut and you made it look so easy that I understand it now. Thank u

[@TheRehabLife]

Sweet! You can totally do it...

Great idea!

[@Dereksolo]

Looks great! Keep the videos coming!

[@TheRehabLife]

Will do!

[@tbraxton2985]

Love it. I would probably put one or two support blocks to rest the inside box on. But that’s because I’m paranoid. I will. Try this one. Thanks !

[@TheRehabLife]

Good luck with the build! You'll be fine without the supports but completely up to you...

[@orbeuniversity]

I am a beginner woodworker and I love your videos. Most videos of so-called "simple" furniture making will require the use of a table saw. I am assuming that many of us don't have that sort of equipment. However, a circular saw, and a power drill/driver, which I assume most of us have, will allow anyone to construct any of the furniture shown on your videos.

[@TheRehabLife]

That's our goal, thank you!

[@jeffreyherdt9856]

Thank you for your great and easy to build project videos 😊 I bought your book and I really love it. Thank you for sharing. Your biggest fan.

I cut the 24” pieces with the 45degree angle, but they are too short when assembling.

I made this mistake Now I cut the long points and it fits right. Hope this might help

[@maimostafa6252]

Interesting how you hand sand your projects and not using a power tool for that like other videos! How long does it take to hand sand this? Do you move between grits?

[@sonug12]

What saw should I invest in?

[@Leeiilla]

If I wanted to make this taller and longer what’s a good system to decide the measurements

[@BrianLeposki]

Can a nailer work here or does it need to be screws?

[@kyle1247r]

Your next build should be a workbench. You’re always building everything on the floor. 😂

[@TheRehabLife]

That would make things too easy!

[@caitlingalvin1419]

Hi There! I am wanting to make this table but have it be 48 W 30 H and 12 3/4 D. However, I am unsure if I am updating the measurements properly. Would my cut list be: (2) 48 long (2)42.5 long (2) 27 long (2)21.5 long 1x4s (4) 48 long (4) 28.5 long 1x2s (2) 45.5 long (2) 9 3/4

[@schaefferarnold]

I’m in the middle of this project and I think there’s a measurement error in his video. He has the 1x4x8 cuts as 52.5” and 24”. The 52.5” is correct, but you need to account for the extra 2 inches of height (1” on bottom and 1” on top) that are added when you nail the 24” 1x12x8 to the 52.5” 1x12x8. His list of cuts at the 0:46 mark are all correct EXCEPT for the “four pieces 24” long”. That should instead read: “4 pieces 26” long”. In your case, you’d want 4 pieces of the 1x4x8 to be 29” (27+2). Hope that helps.

[@schaefferarnold]

Actually you’re correct with your 28.5” measure. I didn’t realize these 1x boards weren’t actually a full inch! 0.75”

[@caitlingalvin1419]

Am I the only one that the side 1/4 45 cuts weren’t 24 inch cuts, but needed to be 25 1/2? Maybe I did something wrong

[@terencescarnicchia5471]

Found the same issue. If you do the math there is no way the 45 smaller cuts can be 24 inches.

[@steveabanda7551]

Why don't you build a work table so you don't have to work off the floor?

Yes, you need the gap to be 2 inches on both sides for the sides

Can you please share aal the dimensions for 60” length
