Woodworking: Making a Valet Stand (A FANCY clothing rack)
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- My wife asked me to build her a valet stand. Admittedly, I had no idea what this was. Apparently, it's a place to lay out your clothes for the following day so that you can prepare your outfit. It needs a place to hang a jacket and a shirt, a place for pants, a shelf for a sweater, a drawer for undergarments, and a spot for shoes. I decided to make this piece look extra fancy and built it using finger joints with my box joint jig and some decorative bent slats in the sides. The finished product is quite possibly the prettiest thing I've ever made. Check out the build video and watch as this thing comes together and then just try to keep your jaw from dropping when the finish goes on.

What a beautiful build! Thank you for trusting us to finish such an amazing project, Drew!
You bet! You make fantastic products
Bumblechutes all the way!!
Charlie Sheen! Ha! 😃😃
That valet is some beautiful work, Drew. 👍
And good job single-handedly keeping flat-head screws alive 🫡
Thanks, Marc!
That drawer bottom should be a little undersized, anyway, to allow for a tiny bit of movement with changes in humidity. Sure, plywood doesn't move nearly as much as solid boards, but it's still going to move a little.
And it looks like your wife gives excellent instructions. You made it pretty.
I enjoy your voice over among all wood working you tubers. The work you do is high quality, the out takes are needed. They remind and encourage everyone, regardless of skill to work wood, we all make mistakes, over coming and correcting them is hobby wood working. The end result is seen in the beautiful looking valet stand!
Thanks 👍
Awesome! You make it look so easy!
For a few pieces of wood lying around the finish and character is amazing.
I love the comedic patter. Beautiful woodwork too.
Thank you very much!
That's really nice, love that it pops the way it does..... nice to see you stuck to the wife's drawing !!!
Thanks 👍
What an absolutely gorgeous piece! You really are a talented designer and builder, although your wife’s drawing was spot on.
Thank you very much!
Just beautiful, I don't know what else to say, just beautiful. Thank you for letting me watch. ❤
You bet, thanks!
What people don’t see is Drew’s incredible dedication to removing and sanding glue squeeze out on ev-ery-thing-uh!!
This is true.
It is absolutely an amazing piece of work and a great comedic narration to go along with it. You definitely have one of the best channels to watch
Wow, thank you!
Owh wow! You made a Minecraft wooden pickaxe! Cool build Drew, very beautiful as always.
Thanks a bunch!
Ah it killed me watching you pull the drawer bottom out just to trim a little off. My heart was saying, “just use a hand plane!”
Each show is a presentation of your growing talent, or as the kids say, you are getting gooderer all the time.
I try
I agree with you Drew, probably the prettiest piece in your collection. Great job
Thank you kindly
I need neighbors like yours with better lumber supplies I can "borrow" 🤣
The walnut is outstanding. The curly maple is too. Nice build. I expect your wife loves it. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thanks, you too!
I think this may be the prettiest thing I’ve seen you make so far. The design is lovely and practical. The grain of the walnut and curly maple is just gorgeous. I love everything about it. Now I just need to get someone to make one for me.
Dude! DUDE! That is a thing of beauty! It's freaking artwork! What a show piece your wife now has!!!!
Thanks a bunch!
Gotta love a good walnut Twinkie! It turned out awesome Drew! And the figure in that wood is ridiculous!
Your videos & projects are great! Kind of disappointed that your neighbor didn't provide any of the materials. :)
Damn, Drew! This time you went to far! 😮
Beautiful doesn't describe it! What a heck of a job!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Ok I'll agree that this is an absolutely stunning piece, however, have you tried introducing your wife to the wonders of the chair? You can place all your clothes there, if you get a wooden dining room style chair you have a "hangar" back, a rail for trousers, and a whole seat bottom to place bits and pieces! Better yet, you don't need to spend hours and hours making another bit of furniture 😅😅 Ok I'd have that in my house, I'd probably never use it, but I'd display it with pride!
WELCOME BACK DREW!!!!
I subscribed for the quality woodworking, but the comedic value is also top notch. Love your channel
Thanks for the sub!
That was a lot of outtakes, Drew! I guess the build was...challenging.
It was!
Really, really sharp. I think we will be seeing that style showing up in the wood working world a whole new style. Just beautiful. By the way, loved the Tommy Boy t-shirt - made me think about Tommy doing the Maniac dance at the gas station...classic. Well done as always.
Thank you very much!
You absolutely crushed the execution, you mad man!
haha, thanks
That figured wood is just magnificent!
The curly maple is beautiful. I am in love with this build. I want one so much ❤
I’ve actually been thinking about making one for a while now. Thanks to Drew, I don’t have to design one, now.
You had me at 'walnut twinkie'. 😘
You ain’t right, Dude. Nice work! Love the short takes!😂
Thanks! 👍
Wow Drew, great project. Amazing grain on both the walnut and maple.
Thanks a bunch!
That Charlie Sheen "line" was pure tiger blood! 😂
Great build, Drew! That might just be the prettiest thing you've ever made! 😉
I think so too!
This is a stunningly beautiful piece Drew!!! I've watched all your videos and think it's the most awesome of all. I'm sure your wife is thrilled with it. The figure in the walnut and curly maple is spectacular. Your design is gorgeous. It's a piece you should be so proud of!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Oh I know the pain of that bottom being just a little too long and the fight to get it back out in time! Great job, Drew!
Thanks Pete
We have all had the moments when we forget to do a dry fit before we glue! Oppsies
Absolutely stunning! Stepping out of your comfort zone really paid off with this!
Drawers... the outtakes, my day in a nutshell. Absolute bane of my existence.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I gotta say that I have no need or desire for a valet and thought them boring as they are normally too weak and frail looking. I watched the video well because its one of yours and therefor worth it. As usual it was worth more than the video's running time. Another great job sir. Except for one thing now I want one....
Haha thanks 😊
That is some of the most stunning timber I have ever seen. And the furniture piece itself turned out great. I think this video is one of your best. Cheers mate. 👍🍺🇦🇺🇺🇸👍
Glad you liked it!
That looks great, Drew. The color combination of the woods and the innovation in the shape make it a one-of-a-kind that can become an heirloom. Thanks.
I will say, I miss your videos being as frequent as they once were. I know life keeps us busy. I hope all is well and look forward to your next project.
Thanks 👍
"pick up line" 😂🤣 I'm laughing harder than I should at that
😉
For the error with the drawer bottom where it was too long, just leave it in place and trim it with a block plane. Two or three passes and you should be golden.
Outstanding wood figure. Great design Drew
Thank you kindly
Man your neighbor has quite a lot of extra wood… soon you will be taking apart the shed 😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful piece of woodworking Drew! If I ever get caught up on my projects I’d love to build that for my son in law and daughter. I have a nice supply of walnut myself! You had me going with the Charlie Sheen line!
Haha, thanks for watching, Jeff
I was just thinking last night that I haven't seen anything new from you, and was going to reach out today. That looks amazing!
Thanks
Turned out very nice....love watching the outtakes, especially when you were trying to get the bottom out of the drawer. The whole time I'm thinking just run it through the table saw, or use a plane to shorten it. No need to pull it out IMHO...but it was funny watching you struggle. lol
Hah, yeah... I got laser focused and my brain wasn't even thinking of alternatives
As you've already said, this is a very beautiful piece of craftsmanship!! Great job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Unbelievable Drew! That looks so good.
Thanks a bunch, Gavin
well done Fisher, nice piece
That stuck bottom was KARMA coming to get you. Next time stay out of Rupert's shed...LOL!
Wow that maple, incredible! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Great video as always Drew! Beautiful piece too. When you were trying to take the draw bottom out you could have just shaved it down with a block plane instead of struggling. But of course then we wouldn't have had the outtake. 😀
Next time!
Thanks for the outtakes! It's so important to know how normal it is, that things go wrong to others, too. I like the way you handle these detours.
Thanks so much!
I'm not much a fan of using sap wood, but in this project, it really set off the finger joints and made all the labor involve pay off handsomely! Great job. And even greater job "translating" your wives drawing!
Thank you very much!
Gosh I can relate to so much of the outtakes.
Love to do woodworking! But I also work swing shift so when I'm on nights I use this to go to sleep.
Oh wow awesome job what a beautiful piece of furniture my friend and I can't wait to see what you do next thank you for sharing your awesome creations
Thanks so much
Sitting here in awe! Beautiful craftsmanship and wonderful design.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
I love everything about this video. The awesome build and the fantastic jokes.
Glad you liked it! :)
One word......stunning ++++
Many thanks!
Oh mam, you did absolutely fantastic job!👍🏻 As always!
Thank you! 😊
5:23 NICE. As for the project, it came out GREAT. That is a piece to be proud of! !! !!!
_"WINNING!"_
Even Sheen would have to laugh at that one. Lol
😉
Outstanding work. The wood is amazing and so is your work.
Thank you :)
Beautiful and I dig the commando lol
As always fisher nice job turned out beautiful love the maple on the side looks great
Thanks 👍
Fabulous work dear Drew ❤
Thank you kindly
Another Quality Build¡!!!!!!!!! Maybe some day I have the skills, I doubt it.
Thanks
You can do it!
Charlie Sheen had met laughing out loud😂. Great build, as always, Drew!
😁
Wow. Best project yet!
Thanks 🙏
Another great build! And I love the outtakes!
Thanks a bunch!
Your outtakes are the best! Not only are you funny but so easy to relate every time!
Glad you like them!
"I raided my Lumber stash..." huh Neighbor musta moved away "...boards I found just sitting in my neighbor's shed" THERE IT IS
Key words, "She just loves it", Happy Wife, Happy Life.
You said it
Wow you never fail my friend. Great job...
Thanks again!
I like that you show your mistakes.
Some nice valet stand
OMG The Charlie Sheen joke was amazing!
This reminds me of Marc’s fan table, but after comparing them I see that yours is much more difficult to make. His thin strips went completely through the slots but yours had to fit into the notches. Yours also have an elegant S shape vs splaying out. What an amazing way to improve on an already great design. Great job Drew.
Thanks! :)
Incredible work and narration. Hats off...
Thanks
Just found your channel and man you make good stuff but the best is its entertaining and power to you 👏also watched the tribute to your dad, just brilliant thank you for sharing.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for that, Colleen
This is just awesome! I love watching wood artists at work.
Thank you very much!
Nice! Thanks for sharing Drew.
You bet
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
this is one of the most beautiful pieces you’ve made so far i love it so much! especially after you applied the finish i was genuinely mesmerised😂
Thank you so much!
Great video as always!
I appreciate that. Thanks Zach
That is a beautiful piece.
Fantastic work! I love the outtakes!
Glad you like them!
Beautiful
Wow, so beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
It was really cool to see how you incorporated the sap wood in the finger joints to go with the walnut/maple contrast
Yeah I love that part too
Beautiful piece Drew!
Thank you kindly!
Incredible build as always good Sir!!!
Thank you kindly!
Such fun!
Very well done!! 👏
Thank you!! 😁
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I was watching Downton Abbey this evening (hey, don't judge me!) with my bride and did a double take. in the bonus features, I spotted a valet stand that was very similar to the one you created for your bride. Perhaps the TV show inspired your bride's detailed blueprint for the stand.
Oh really? Nah... I never even made it all the way through the first episode. If there's no senseless violence or people getting blown up, then it's not my kind of show.
@@FishersShop It took several attempts at watching it before I could tolerate it and then I enjoyed it. It has its share of death and dismemberment during the WWI episodes, plus some deadly car crashes (none of them had huge explosions).
For a gory story, you might read about Vladimir Kotlinsky, a WWI Russian soldier. It popped up on my WasteBook recently.
