My wife requested I build this bookcase/storage cabinet for our home. I modeled this after an original mid century modern Paul McCoy piece, but not all is as it seems.

Thank you for the shoutout, Jonny! Amazing builds as always!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thank you brother 🙏

[@christianheichel]

Use paint that's invisible unless you use black light then you can have your skulls in flames and everything else and it would look badass

[@mccaine1]

🤘

[@katzmosestools]

Fantastic build JL! Crushed it and your wife was right… I’m the most handsome Jonny 😂 Love you brother l! Thanks for the shoutout and I’m glad you loved it.

[@irakeyn]

"I want that one" doesn't leave room for any other thing. When those words are heard, you got to do whatever she wants in her house and be happy about it 🤣

[@paulellis84]

Cool never been first to comment and like on this channel

[@osumailguy]

Wife was right (like normal)

[@uncleheavy6819]

The wife was right. Rule 1: The wife is always right. Rule 2: When the wife is wrong, rule 1 applies.

[@theTobytheTitan]

I don’t necessarily think the use of Shaper and CNC is what bothers most KZbin watchers. I’m sure it’s that the content makers have to mention it every time… at least a couple times per video. Like a, “Look, I know some of you hate this but deal with it. I have one.” Every time it’s used. Just use it. No, “Look what I’m using” announcement is necessary. Although, those screaming about it is interaction, algorithm, etc… so, I get it… stoke that.

[@nielscremer599]

Four eyes levels of drama in that title

[@BabitaSingh-nv1oy]

30:05 as a 16 year old myself without a wife and using my mom's account on youtube, I can definitely say that I am big fan of your work and like your videos, saying "u were wrong and wife was right" was an easy choice.

[@user-Rosae]

Wife: keep it simple🙄 Johnny: I like to challenge myself 😤 5weeks later Johnny: wife was right shoulda kept it simple 🤧

[@andycpd6669]

Wife was right like always 😂 I love everything you do and don't change for haters keep doing what you are doing. Much Love from England 🤘

[@MrOwl-mw3fb]

Wife was right-but then again, you spiced it up with those kickin doors (right choice to redo), the handmade pulls, the black finish, and the new tools! My grandfather and great grandfather worked through the 20th century making furniture by hand, and would have never turned their noses up at a tool to help you get the job done with less time and greater accuracy. Only advice I have is to sneak one flame or skull, even on the back to capture your vibe! Yanni? 😅🎉😂

[@Aymen_Lahdhiri]

Wife was right. Now her percentage of being right has changed from 1.12% to 1.39% of the times

[@XaHbl4.]

Well, the wife is always right, even if she's not!

[@johnlemus7921]

Anyone who eats a lot of Chinese Food can easily recognize the designs as being a Round Shaped or Circular Chinese Curio Display Cabinet Shelf.

[@MCsCreations]

Stunning piece, Jonny! Amazing work!!! 😃 And your wife was right, but it's too expensive for you to send me anything down here to Brazil. 😬 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@williamtillemans9254]

This piece is beautiful

[@JJohnson313]

Wife was right. I hate it...but they usually are. Until they aren't and you get a new wife...then she will always be right. So, wife was right.

[@jamesgoode280]

Is it me or is jb looking lean 💪

[@JonnyBuilds]

Down 20 lbs 🙌!

[@Sorcey69]

Your wife was right beautiful build

[@cubitonscalemodels]

Wife was right! / I´m not a wood worker but I´d love to, I´ve done a thing or two but nothing crazy, in the mean time while I decide to become a wood worker watching other people do it and specially learning from their mistakes helps you plan ahead for your own projects, love the channel and keep up the hard work!

[@DaveGDesigns]

Love this one and the Shaper is such a cool tool I hope I'll have one myself some day. Oh and your wife was right :)

[@MDvanDyk]

Wife was right.

[@craiglenhard-rvrguyd]

Wife was right. Nice build.

[@Hoosineers1]

Yay!! I’ve missed watching these builds!!! So good to see you!

[@khrysdundr328]

Wife was right, until she was wrong.... Which is never.... Nice work.

[@Mike_and_Life]

Wife was right. And I appreciate your narration style.. you have this combination of stress relieving tone and... SQUIRREL! What was I saying? Greatly appreciated.

[@bensansom6700]

Wife was right. Or Happy Wife, Happy Life. I liked the black.

[@simonvaughan1270]

Your Wife must know my Wife because my Wife was right too. Great step-by-step ish videos, thanks.

[@myteric117]

Wife was right. Nice build. Great exploration on your part.

[@madeleinegombert661]

"wife was right" You have always done an Amazing Job no matter what.👏👏👏👏👏

[@MartinJoyce-g8t]

Nice build Jonny, but the wife is not always right all the time. OUCH!!! sorry the wife is always right every single time. I have to go now and clean the bathroom with the toothbrush my beloved wife has given me to use OUCH!!!, which is the right tool to use as the wife is always right.

[@ajablonska82]

Wife was right. Indeed she was. Beautiful piece. Perfect decision to paint it black and to change the doors.

[@TheTgranber]

Paul McCobb drinking game anyone? And also wife was right!

[@freethebirds3578]

Wife was right. Most of the time, they are because Happy Wife, Happy Life. I was listening for you to say "Trust the process." Without thinking about it, I found myself saying that to 3rd graders while teaching math. I usually say "don't skip steps" but "Trust the Process" means the same thing.

[@jdbyram4031]

You make amazing items. The ramblings are great. Wife was right but so were you. Also, you do you a person loves what you do you’ll never make people happy. Great job.

[@Vixxie475]

'My wife was right' How have you got this far without realising she is ALWAYS right!!!!

[@mystro569]

that’s a really cool looking piece for your house but just so you know…your WIFE WAS RIGHT as always

[@JaredWayne]

Remember, a happy life is where the wife was right (maybe misinformed and incorrect, but right nonetheless).

[@Squishy_Manatee]

wife was right.... I mean it is good you have to admit. curvy is bae. the drawers are gorgeous

[@greganderson8374]

The "Wife is Always Right"! In the words of the Immortal Mick Jager: "Paint it Black!"

[@NotSoWittyNow]

Wife was right. Sky is blue. Left is right and all is right with the world.

[@LukeEdward]

Wife was right, but you were, too. One can only imagine what will be a collector furniture piece in 60 years. Perhaps a J.B. Tambor 33 cabinet.

[@thunderduckie01]

The original Burl and epoxy slab is GORGEOUS! But, after seeing your second attempt, I agree.....not the right vibe for this project. HOWEVER, I don't think that small serving boards are the way to go. The pieces would never be large enough for someone to truly appreciate the contrast of the wood and epoxy. I would suggest maybe using it as the top for a small server or a pair of night stands that has the body of the piece made of a lighter wood and minimal finish so the top can POP. Just my 2 cents. I really love this channel and I look forward to your next project!! Also, TRUST THE PROCESS!! Also, Also, THE WIFE WAS RIGHT!

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

The wife was right. This is badass. Use the tools you have, to make the most awesome stuff. Screw the haters. Those of us who actually are on the journey know, even with the best tools, the limiting factor is still our skill and creativity. It’s a pleasure to watch content from folks who are killing it out there. Keep it up!

[@PowrAl]

Your wife was right! But so were you! Watching from South Africa, wear and XL. Love your channel!

[@mkdrivingzone]

Your wife was right. Most interesting comment. Jonny, even Nick Sawyer uses a Shaper, Panto-router, and has an obsession with hand tools. Still.wood, still work.

[@Andre18047]

Wife was right! It actually ended up really beautiful! Love it❤

[@nancychong4650]

Wife was right. Never argue wife the wife because you will never win.

[@andrewweighill-richards5231]

Wife was right... And Shaper Origin might just be the most fun you can have making sawdust.

[@pablogomes1574]

wife was right !!!! sorry to tell you but men is never gonna be right.

[@ADR-x4d]

With respect it cannot be an "original" Paul Mccobb piece because even if look liked a Mccobb piece it would be a copy and not an original... but good video.

[@SikhRababKirtan]

Wife was Right..Like she thinks she always is......

[@ser.academia]

Really amazing your narrative...! True is: Get things well done in the way you like must... if not, go work somewhere else for salary... Congrats!

[@mikebaldo2321]

Wife was right , it looks amazing, and those purple heart drawers are a nice hidden suprise touch.

[@jkb990]

ofc wife was right again!!! btw love the tattoo designs you have, I have one myself in the same style

[@vhaelen326]

i love woodworking and i can only shake my head at people trying to gatekeep, like yes, an incredibly detailed piece of furniture done entirely with handtools IS more impressive than the same thing made with hightech simply because it DOES take alot more time and skill, however that doesnt change anything on the end result, if the piece looks good then it looks good, end of story, the amount of time and skill spent on a piece is entirely the craftmans decision and they should be the only one who cares

[@Locksmith-Dallas]

The wife was definitely right Nicely done great WOOD WORK Don’t feel guilty about your amazing knowledge it’s inspiring and fun to watch.

[@Braddy_Daddy]

Bro that build is far from lame. Came out sick! You’re definitely the Bruce Springsteen of woodworking!! 😂

[@METHATONEGUY1]

Love the ramblings! That's why I keep coming back! "We should go for 4." "But I'm good with 3 right now." Wife was right

[@mineastly]

"wife was right", wives are always right and so husbands gets left behind 🥁

[@petergamache5368]

"I'm building this for my wife so she can't get upset about that." You HAVE played this game before, right? Because it sounds like you haven't.

[@stantheman1976]

Wife was right. I've been married 25 years. She was was wrong once but to her credit she did own up to it. That's why I love her.

[@newgardener]

"Wife was right" Happiness many times is remembering to say "yes dear". Turned Out GREAT! Did that one you modeled it after sell for 11k?

[@Stef_T-G]

Wife was right? :P I use my laser for so may things that could be done by hand and SO WHAT??? They don't like it, just shut up and don't like it... The people who don't like you use the CnC should go watch other builders... Black Tail studio do many wood projects without CnC, go there! (yeah I choose your friend just to be safe XD )

[@gulgulsfather]

Wife was right. They always are. lately it seems daughters too.

[@james1214]

Man, that black poly is a game changer. I love general finishes stuff already. Also the wife was right, but you were too ..... Everybody wins!

[@reynyxt6922]

The wife is right. I really like your other cool builds with the skulls and tattoo art, but this was a nice contrast to those other builds. Not super complicated, but also has a very nice contrast with the mostly lighter room you put the shelf in. Although I am very interested to see a build with skulls and fire, and maybe you could experiment using a torch to "carve" out your designs (if you haven't done that already). I've seen other people do it and it always looks really good when done right.

[@dsokoro]

Wife was definitely right, even if you rambled on and on about it. Beautiful piece though.

[@Sewcialitecrew]

Your wife was right and you should thank her! That’s a fantastic piece sometimes less is more.. while you like custom designs within your piece not everyone agrees with it from a buying standpoint anyway loved this one!❤❤

[@susandaniels1814]

Wife was right! I would not call this boring at all. You improved on the original piece. Just beautiful!

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Wife was right. I sometimes get big ideas, and I always preface it by saying "it's an idea, but not necessarily a good idea". Occasionally, I do come up with good ideas, but sometimes other people don't like it, so I have to compromise rather than be told it's stupid.

[@aleksjov3135]

Hey i love your woodworking ^^ wife was right

[@hiflyinhawaiin]

Wife was right! Really like this project but I still think my favorite vid was the one that was basically 20 min. of dick jokes!

[@KathrinRena]

Your wife is always right, in the design she wants, and you're always right to listen, and agree to do what she would like to see, I would like to see a build that you have free reign on exactly what you want to build that does go in to your house tho, It is your house too.

[@keithklein4538]

Hi, Wife is right. One idea: why not use blue tape to mask around your glue joints? Saves a lot of cleanup. Admittedly with black stain it’s less important, but it avoids glue stains. Doors are superb. Overall, an A+ on this project. Cheers

[@thesmikey13]

Just a top guy! Amazing talent, brilliantly put together videos and always worth a second watch. Thanks Jonny 👍

[@masterfabricator]

Wife was wrong 😂 You're a good dude ol johnny boy,but the wife is correct, OK SOMETIME 😅😅😅

[@carlylewis7088]

Wife was right. And Johnny is right about the doors. I love this piece ❤

[@tammiehardersen7466]

She was right. 🤣 But I can appreciate that you took full advantage of an opportunity to get some new tools. 😂

[@coletteLeBlanc]

your Wife is definitely right! this is a wonderful build . I would love something like that from my hubby

[@neilerasmus2046]

Wife was right! Nicely done. I do like the mix of tech and handtools. Please send me details on the full facemask dust extractor you are using.

[@howardatwood3441]

Ok…so once again, my comment relates to wives…and yes, Your Wife was Right! And if you don’t believe me…just ask my wife…she’ll tell you “that goes without saying!”. Beautiful piece, and I absolutely LOVE the look of the doors with the black shelving! When first seeing the doors, my immediate thought was of a sunset in the desert…just beautiful! Looking forward to your next build, as always.

[@_tactical_viking_]

Where were you when Jonny Builds said my wife was right???

[@christyfrick2047]

Wife was right. Just remember when making some project to K. I. S. S. it. Keep it simple stupid. I learned that through cooking. I'm sure you have so many gorgeous pieces in your home you've made and this is another one, but unless you want to live in a museum sometimes simple is best. The people that say you aren't a wood worker are just jealous they don't have some of those tools. So no worries. Believe in yourself and others will too.

[@erikkop]

Wife was right 😂👍

[@Den-Kor]

До меня , эта футболка ек доёдёт )) ... Красиво сделал эти полки 👍

[@christiantorp6283]

Love your videos, and your wife was right 🙂 The black finish looks great in contrast to the doors 😊

[@spencerdaines7692]

Wife was right. Elegant simplicity is more often a a better indicator of higher proficiency. It’s a real show of mastery to simplify complexity rather than complicated the already complex. But what do I know, I’m just a young dude who loves to make stuff and I fetchin love the tambor skull cabinet btw.

[@amandabolah5116]

Wife was right! Both about the cabinet and when she picked you!

[@whales2014]

Wife was right. But what momma don't know won't hurt her.

[@javiervigil2511]

I've been curious about this for a while, why don't you use joinery when building panels? I've always thought that adding joints, biscuits, t&g, etc. makes a panel much stronger. "Wife was right" simple is harder to do really well.

[@kathymarshall220]

Wife was right, but you were too. Taking this piece and then elevating it with your own flair and style was absolutely the right call!

[@errwb404]

wife was right I also wanted THAT piece as soon as you showed it, until you were done, now yours is definitely better. I'll give you an out for being a germaphobe: I'll promise to buy some merch if you promise to hug it before you ship it! lol

[@XCaliKev]

👍🤠 Found your channel a month or two ago, been watching a bunch. I’ve been interested in woodworking for a long time but on a way smaller scale. Right now I’m making a walking stick for my daughter by hand, (a Stanley knife, cheap ass chisels & sand paper). Hoping for a Dremel for Christmas. Just for fun, I’m that old man sitting on my porch with a knife. Couldn’t imagine having all those tools. I don’t think you should let the people who give you a hard time about them get to you. You do a nice job with what you do and your videos are well put together. . . “I’ll be back”…Wife was right, aren’t they always?

[@debbiputman3482]

Wife was right! And daughter is adorable!!

[@tada8092]

Wife was right, which I was going to post anyway. My mom, an Oakie home ec teacher always graded hand sewn garments starting on the inside-out. Beautiful and elevated! How about some Tool in the mix? 😊😊😊

[@thealphacruze]

I did not expect that grain to pop so well after stain, omg😮 Sometimes a simple elegant, classy design is the way to go, and in this case Johnny was kinda wrong 😂 And wife was right on the money

[@wyattderp9719]

Your wife was right. I like to think of the piece as low key interesting instead of boring.
