This Easy and Cheap DIY Decoration looks AWESOME!

[@koobs4549]

Jay, please check the model of your DeWalt compound miter saw. They just recalled a bunch made between 2019-2022 for a safety issue. The stop on the back was switched to plastic & it can shatter exposing the blade.

[@LyleMcCracken]

After enjoying all our custom builds that look great I had an idea where you should go next. Take your builds beyond the box. How about full "Battlestation Builds". It would be great to see some top level battle station ideas. It would also give us some inspiration for our own spaces and see how you use various materials and techniques for things like hiding wires.

[@SourBogBubble]

Nailed it.

[@mrpink6446]

Super solid idea actually.

[@adriandewinter7262]

Agreed, you clearly have an eye for setting up spaces and you should expand your channel into DIY/Interior design focused on gaming spaces. Your OCD will bring you happiness doing things like this rather than just focusing on desktop builds. Most of us did not grow up with DIY skills passed down and it would be great if you can educate gamers on becoming more handy in building things out for themselves with the focus being on setting up spaces in a cost efficient manner, integrating smart home stuff, etc.

[@citizens-Edz]

Yes pls

[@dereksinkro1961]

Yes, this would be awesome.

[@CaptainCoel]

The hanging method with angled cuts is called a "French Cleat" for anyone looking for it.

[@ronnie3044]

And they are amazing! I have them on every bare section of wall in my shop. Now when I get new toys I dont even have to think about how to mount them I just pick an open spot on one of the rails and its good to go.

[@CaptainCoel]

@@ronnie3044 my introduction to French Cleats was in middleschool. I had a bunk bed and wanted my alarm clock near my head. Dad and I built a box with a hidden French cleat on the back. Still have it somewhere at their house. We built it 25 years ago.

[@andrewgehling6566]

My mom's a French Cleat! ... Oh wait....

[@onux16]

For those who are worried about things falling off of your french cleat (say, during a total rage quit), then look into adding "french cleat keys" which slide between the top of the cleat and the bottom of the horizontal slab above it.

[@deadleaves3693]

We call them split battens in Australia, and they are indeed the best way to mount anything to a wall without any visible fixing.

[@TheDuelist]

Good shout talking about the anchors. I had a TV decide it wanted to be free from the wall a few years ago :P

[@Remy-today]

Thank you Jay for helping us budget oriented peasants with great ideas.

[@alireza5218]

That's a wrap.

The Financially Challenged.

[@FastSloth87]

Wood is not "budget".

[@D.K81]

I like these videos as much as the PC stuff. Building things in general, makes me happy. PS: You don't need to buy nail filler. Wood glue + sawdust = nail filler. Plus if you use the sawdust from what you are working on, it'll match in color.

[@JohnPaulHare]

This! It's a great way to reuse sawdust, since that's something you'd otherwise just throw away. Plus, it's way cheaper to make your own than to buy the prepackaged stuff from the store.

[@kmartinator723]

Just wanted to say, as a person who has had a lot of fun discovering woodworking over the last couple years, I really enjoyed watching your process for this build and how much fun you were having with it. Yea, there are things that folks might do differently, but in the end, you made something that you're happy with and excited about. Thanks for sharing this little journey!

[@Synthematix]

Jay: Go with the grain Jay: Uses orbital sander.

[@lordnikon981]

thats what i said to myself lol

[@Synthematix]

@@lordnikon981 Great minds mate

[@lordnikon981]

@@Synthematix yea i do HO

[@tcs007]

Jay, you're using an orbital sander. It doesn't matter which way you move it.

[@joeytheghost4211]

I was about to say, it's all about light pressure with a orbital sander.

[@jerryferreira8960]

When staining, you should also stain the back so the moisture from humidity changes will be equal on both sides.

[@smoothaswater]

Also when staining don’t use a brush. Much better Way to stain is staining cloth or even better yet staining pad. Staining pad is a staining cloth wrapped around a sponge. All you have to do is dip and rub on the stain. The staining pad will apply the stain much faster and way more evenly. If you do see any puddles you can use it to soak up any extra stain. YES YES YES stain both sides. I know you were just using pine and it will not be seen on the backside. Jerry is right you will get excess moisture absorbing into the back of the wood which is going to cause your build to expand and contract unevenly. Which will cause the wood to bow or cup. This will pull out those little Brad nails because you did not use glue. Which you should have used some glue too.

[@RichWhiteUM]

He should have stained it before assembly, as well.

[@Parkerenterprize786]

Thank you Jay. For everything. Love and respect all the way from South Africa

[@markman3031]

I just love Jayz's doing wood working next to his RACK with switch.... Great DIY build.

[@Mr__V]

I did something similar with my garage. But I split my pine boards at a 45° angle and made cleats. Now each slat also has the ability to hang things off it with a French cleat system.

[@yuri886]

Good point! was gonna say a cleat will be the best solution imo.

[@cqpzg]

Yes, to me that would be the preferred way. You get the same visual of Jay's wall, but much more secure when hanging stuff.

[@jerrypollock4471]

A French cleat, when used properly, is such a great and simplistic hanging system

[@jerrypollock4471]

And doing all the slats that way is so f*cking genius

[@joeytheghost4211]

This is the way

[@whyaaron1]

"DIY is literally Do it Yourself"...words of wisdom from Jay

[@rikvdmark]

This is what I love about DIY. Get things the way you want with added benefit of knowing you did it yourself ^^

[@rynosraceroom66]

Crown goes up , looking down the board flat , the 4” side . Pine is great wood & great ideas .🤘🏼🏁

[@KevinHerronArt]

You should find some old red, vintage, Texaco or Gas Station signs for the top of the cabinets! It would match the JTC color scheme, be a touch of the car enthusiast side of you, and match the semi-rustic vibe the pallet and wood stain brings .

[@rogerroger10-47]

What if AMD, Intel, ASRock, Matrox, etc make vintage signs.... you know to go up in Microcenters and Best Buys?

[@hazonku]

As someone who HATES that crap I have to say I still 100% agree. That or some fake vine planters with vines going down between to frame the gamer pallet.

[@TOFU2urDOOR]

@@rogerroger10-47 Vintage Fry's signs

[@signtech803]

Is a good idea - vintage auto approach. Could incorporate the JTC info/logo into a vintage brand design though - working on one now for a body shop bringing its name into that style design layout.

[@christopherfrazier9670]

Needs a couple custom vintage gas pump globes with Jay's logo and put them on top of each cabinet with lights in them.

[@kostaskotoulas6542]

The lights changing with Phil's laugh made my mood instantly better!

[@jjsoko6393]

Thanks for explaining what DIY is Jay, that made me chuckle.

[@rodmoura]

I can't express how much I enjoy your content. Love from Brazil.

[@jessehaakenson8877]

Love these videos. I copied Jay'z home office in my home pretty closely. Did the TV backboard for a 65 inch TV and it came out beautiful and sturdy. Used boards very similar to these ones. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration for clean office-ey type setups Jay.

[@Spoon2006]

It's different and the attention to detail and character really makes it stand out. Little things like matching stain but also making sure it's centered takes all the time. One thing I was tought in the building trade and it applies to anything in life, plan and take your time getting the first fix right and second fix is easy. So love the work and can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@OffscreenkillVA]

Jays DYI skills are literally those "If Dad can't fix it, no one can" haha. I really, really love how you always do such down to earth vids and dont go all "Here is my super expensive DYI Thing :D".

[@riseandshinemrfriman5925]

Looks good. Nothing like a bit of home craft to make rooms more comfortable or functional.

[@MorganHagg]

That looked just straight up beautiful

[@gonzomock9979]

Love it. Very palatable design.

[@HFG]

I'm a handy kinda guy. Dig the DIY creative videos 👊🏼👊🏼

[@MichaelJCaboose013]

To be honest , of all the content on your channel, I love all of the tech/gaming adjacent DIY projects like these the most. We can find hardware reviews pretty much anywhere (especially GPU vids) but only one place with these kinds of fun workspace projects. Look forward to the next one!

[@stacyromanchuk]

What you are think about with joint to hang it on the wall is a French cleat. I’m inspired to build a wall with French cleats to hold different tools now. Thanks Jay! 😁

[@simonmcpherson1323]

love the idea of the "pallet" background. im gonna try this!

The mounting technique your talking about is called a French cleat, popular way to hang floating tv cabinets etc. Easiest done on a table saw but a rip saw set to 45* would get the job done.
