The drawer detail really brought this bench up a notch. Nicely done
I agree! Thanks for watching!
That's a really nice built in John! The design on the drawer fronts is a neat touch.
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Nice dad, you are! Looks cozy and comfortable for relaxing and reading. The diagonals in the drawer front design echoes your wall trim (if I remember correctly, you installed trimmed out feature walls with name plaques for both of your kiddos).
Uncle in this case! Haha this is for my niece. Thanks for watching!
@@JohnBuildsIt Oops...was trying to view YT while getting in one of the fetch sessions ⚾️ with our highly active young germ shep 🐶.
at first i also thought this is his house but when you see @3:22 its not because his working outside his shop unlike his other videos, by the way new sub here sir from Philippines your work inspired me to do more woodworking.
Great job as usual John....love that you moved that outlet to that perfect location.
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Nice job, John! The pattern on the drawer faces is the coolest thing i have seen in a long time!!!!
Thanks for watching!!
what a lovely day for some home improvements.
Everyone who said you make it look easy are right.!!! Nice build John!!!
Thank you!!
lol, I wish when people put a thumbs down they would be required to put why. Im genuinely curious as why someone would give a thumbs down to this video. Great video again man.
Haha I appreciate that! I actually heard CZcams is going to hide the dislikes. Hurts too many feelings I suppose!
@@JohnBuildsIt Ha ha. If they do that I give up on humanity
I normally don't like builtins but this was very detailed and careful work.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I mainly came to learn how to extend the outlet from one wall to another but watch the whole video because you were so informative.
I appreciate it thanks for watching!
Very nice build.
Thank you!!
I'm just a passerby, but this was a great video, solid explanations, good pacing. I'm a noob and learned a lot. Thanks
I appreciate it thanks for watching!
Great build John! Very cool drawer fronts, I like them a lot. Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!!
Milwaukee has crushed it with their nail guns. Love mine.
For sure! And with the 15 and 16g gen2’s just being announced they have the whole lineup knocked out. Assuming of course they’re as good, which I would bet they are
Awesome video my friend. Keep it up.
Thanks man!!
That turned out really nice! Great choice of paint and I loved that you coped the base trim.
Only way to do it! Thanks for watching 👍🏽
Looks great! Next time put more batting over the foam. It not only stops the fabric from catching on the foam, but it also "fluffs" it out so the fabric stays taut. Also, when attaching the fabric, staple a few spots in the middle of one side, and then move to the opposite side and attach it in the middle. Then do the same on the adjacent sides. Once all the "middles" are stapled, work towards the corners on each side. This will give you a much better finish. Your project turned out great! Thanks for the video
I’ll remember that for next time, thanks!
Wow that's nice af
Added touch on front of drawers 🔥
Thanks!! 🙌🏼
I'm going back and watching a lot of your videos. I have to say, your channel is a great resource. You cover the bases really well, never really push into tools or techniques that are beyond even a fairly basic woodworker, but you really do a great job executing to a high quality finish. Definitely a hidden gem of a channel. Really, great job man.
I appreciate that a lot, thank you!!
Wow john nicely done.
Thanks John for another great video. The drawer patterns came out really good. Nicely done
Thank you! 👍🏽
Nice work

Simplesmente Perfeito. Gosto dos Seus Trabalhos. VOCE É O CARA. Sta Catarina - Brasil.
Thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
Awesome build! How does one get into the program with HD?
Looks great!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Sick!
👊🏼👊🏼
I'm not sure where you're located, but here in Ontario Canada, it's illegal to bury that electrical junction box. You either have to remove the junction completely or cut access through the back of your built in cabinet
I did cut access. I mentioned that in the video
@@JohnBuildsIt I apologize. I watched the whole video but had the volume on low. Must have missed that part
Hard to believe you don’t have more subscribers?
Beats me! 🤷🏻♂️ haha thanks!
Great job! Looks nice. How do you like your makita track saw? Know how it compares to festool, others?
I love it. I don’t know personally but I’ve heard it’s on par with festool, just don’t have to take a loan out to buy haha
Great job. My only concern is you covered up the old electrical box. You mentioned you put the drawers on that side to provide access, but you didn't cut a hole in the back to access it. Should be an easy fix though if you know where the box is 🙂
I cut the hole. Just vibrated the camera too much and would’ve made ya sick! Lol
And, I say well-trained young are safe near windows on upper stories. We had our daughter disciplined not to jump nor stand on her bed that was near a 2nd story window. We kept a long chain ladder underneath for emergency escape to the driveway below (My dad & 2 of 3 brothers were career fire/paramedics -- nuff said). The other window was too close to electric service lines for her to safely egress 😬.
That’s my thinking! Good parenting solves a lot!
Thanks for sharing. This one definitely had some useful tips and got the wheels turning, love that idea of adding grooves to the drawer faces. We have a nook in our entryway that could use a bench, so bookmarking this for sure.
How do you like your table saw? I am getting closer and closer to wanting one and the portable/contractor category is what I want due to space constraints. However, on other channels and forums I've heard those can be hit or miss in regards to the fence staying square and locking tight. Have you had any issues with keeping the fence and/or blade true to the bed on that Dewalt?
Not at all. I prefer using it over my Ridgid saw in the shop. I’ve always heard this one considered the best overal job site saw!
@@JohnBuildsIt awesome, thanks for the quick response.
What work pants are you wearing? the pockets seem to be placed at the right location unlike all the other carpenter jeans with the side pockets too low on the leg
Ariat Work. Highly recommend 👍🏽
Looks great; what type of fabric are you using?
I don’t remember to be honest haha sorry! Got it from hobby lobby though
Have you tried the M12 stapler? Curious how they compare!
Yea I use it all the time for plastic and insulation. It’s got a slower fire rate, but overall it’s just as good as the rest of them 👍🏽
Wonderful and looks beautiful! Just a quick question on the electrical, is it kosher to put the bench up against the plastic plate? Do cover plates not need to be accessible?
No it needs to be accessible, I cut a hole behind the drawers like I mentioned 👍🏽
Are you happy with the 4 by 8 centipede or do you think you should have gotten two of the two-by-fours
I have all the sizes haha love em!
👍
I understand tear out as I do a lot of woodworking. But does cutting in this method on the miter saw really do anything? Is there any literature out that backs it up? I have never done this and I never have an issue with finish work... Sacrificial fence and a good zero clearance. I just don't get it. If it's a real thing I'd love to hear physics behind it. Does everyone just do it because it's an exploding trend people watch on DIY CZcams woodworking projects? (I'm not trying to be keyboard muscle troll here) But, Seriously, is this a real thing?
I’m not even sure what miter saw method you’re referring to man?
@@JohnBuildsIt When you pass the blade back and forth not cutting all the way through at once. Taking a little bit at a time. Like I said, I keep seeing people doing it. What does it do? I know it seems like a stupid question but, I'm asking it. :) I'll take the flak for it. If you're a 10 I'm probably a 2.5 at skill level. Is it to not put too much heat into the blade when cutting thick material? IDK that's why I'm asking.
@@10Briguy right. Just cutting less material at a time. Easier on the saw and blade after it’s a little dull
I'm about done watching I thought this was about building a built-in reading nook bench not a sales pitch for the stapler gun he's using
Forgive me for only doing ad reads on stuff that is actually relatable unlike most others.
When my child was born I was always afraid of windows that's higher than the first floor.
Yea child locks are definitely important!
