Hey! My name's Kevin, and this is my channel where I show all the DIY projects I'm working on. I'm no pro, but I really enjoy the challenge of figuring out interesting, super simple, low budget ways to make/build these projects, and then share as much detail as I can to help you out.
I usually focus on:
- cool, low budget, renovation projects for our funky, modern barn house (plywood floors, aircraft cable railings, concrete counter tops, etc)
- simple project builds using basic tools and reclaimed/found wood (pallet & reclaimed wood projects, tables, shelves, decor, art, etc)
- simple, low cost tips & tricks (homemade wood stain, diy chalk paint, stud finding, aging/distressing wood, painting tricks, etc)
- transforming beat up Craigslist/thrift store furniture into awesome pieces again and flipping them back on Craigslist for a profit!
Have a question, project idea, or ad/sponsor inquiry?
Send me an email or drop a comment, and I'll get back with you.

Check out the total makeover I did on this really beat up, trashed out thrift store dresser I bought a couple of weeks back!

How to Stain Wood with Fabric Dye!
zhlédnutí 212KPřed 6 lety
Let me show you a simple way to stain wood with colored fabric dye! There's a wide range of colors you can choose from (and unlimited custom mixed options) and you can even thin it down for lighter and darker shades. From what I understand, it could possibly fade under lots of sunlight, so keep that in mind. You should be able to protect it with a wide range of clear top coats as well (poly, la...

Check out the makeover I just finished on the first piece of furniture I ever made. I build a coffee table for my wife about 9 years ago, and we used it up until about 2 years ago when we got tired of it.

Check out the makeover I just finished on this vintage Tuk-Away butcher block table. Years ago, it had it's original legs cut off and hairpin legs were added to turn it into a side table.

how did these hold up?
Trying this on my car. Reply for info on how it goes.
Adorable!
I wonder if this shortens the lifespan of the material?
what a great idea. remember to wear gloves when handling RIT dye
THE TRUNK (C)2006
Leather dye works awesome too. Angelus is a great brand.
What is under the glass? Clean cardboard a good base?
How do we know if it’s not an electrical wire?
Yeah but not everyone wants to hang something near a power point stud
10/10 on texture and awesomeness .. but might want to figure out your lengths. :) edge is a bit wonk. But awesome stuff bruh.
Looks like you did not fill in the gaps; looks good. I just put in planks I made from birch plywood but have not put a top coat on and I have slight gaps. Do i just put the top coat on and don't worry about the gaps?
Just go straight to the point. Too much talk
"Thoroughly cover your piece"
You reversed the drill or you got on the other side of the table? What part of this video shows the wood looks aged?
Any ideas of how to make a dark walnut or Kona type color distressed look from white painted panel doors?
love it! Thanks for posting!
Thank you
It's amazing how super high tech stud finders are sold at $30, $50 if not more. The simple trick in this video is so simple, that it's almost mind-blowing insane. Thanks for the upload.
Is it bad to have a cordless hammer drill constantly turning for this type of job?
For all circular pieces like those feet, I like to chuck them up on a hand drill or drill press.
Don’t tell show wasted my time
What type of wood did you used for this ??
Excellent, thank you 😊!
Too much talking
Simplest striping for scrap is crushing. Size doesn’t matter in most cases.
Toungue & groove? You glued & nailed?
U should of shown us what it looked like after lacquer is put on afters
In rust we trust.
BRILLIANT!!! I'm so glad this video popped up on my feed!!!Thank you for the tip.
Ya let’s stick a metal object into a outlet real smart weather the power off or not
Am I the only one who can see the image of the Virgin Mary on the right board at 6:30?
Will this work in chromed stainless steel?
Thatnks for the input i will tey it out
Oh wow! I loved speak and spell as a little girl!
Great video. I'm planning to use shoe polish to darken some parts of my guitar bare wood to make it look 'aged". Would you recommend using the one you use in in your video or would the paste that comes in the circular tin can be better? I plan to mix it with a little water and then use an art brush to paint the small bare wood areas around the guitar. Thanks...
the glass cutter in this vid absolutely suck. use once and throw away.
Super glue 2 magnets on a string also works.
I guess this does not work on chrome😢
Plywood will not expand or contract because of the way the wood fibers are interlocked. Just learned that from another CZcamsr.
Try bar keepers friend it is amazing. You just give a little rub and it will instantly remove all the tarnish without any effort. Works better than brasso.
Thank you 🎉❤
brilliant, so helpful, thank you!!!!
There is one problem I can see with this build. If you use a cutting board and any liquid or juice runs off the edge it will go through the spaces in the wood top and run all over anything that's on the lower shelf. Not to mention you would not be able to clean the small spaces between the boards.
Great video, I will use this in the near future!
Brilliant!
Polyurea instead of polyurethane is more durable and doesn't yellow.
Are you using treated or untreated plywood?
Great advice and simple enough that anyone can understand and do it. P.S. Fix that gap between your front teeth.
I simply knock on the wall until I hear the difference in the sound produced.
