I was in need of some new nightstands for the bedroom, and I figured why not make them float right off the wall? And why not make them match the valet stand I made earlier? This video shows you how to make some fantastic-looking floating nightstands that are actually very simple to assemble. This is a great beginner to intermediate project for the hobby woodworker and my step-by-step plans on my website make it even easier!

How do you not have a million subs? Between the quality of the projects. the detail of the procedures, and the hilarious commentary, you're way better than most of the other makers on YT. Good job Drew!
Thanks, I appreciate that! A lot of work goes into each video. But I guess to answer your question, I don't release videos fast enough to keep momentum and grow faster. That, or YT hates me. Could be both.
Truly...this is one of the most creative, fun, and relaxing channels I know, plus there's always something to learn.
But that's how the world is made, often the best are found among the losers...
Greetings from Italy...👋👋
Paul
Completely agree 😊
@@FishersShop I have been doing weekly releases, but only under 80 subs. I guess because you don't put stupid faces on thumbnails and you dont do deal videos every other day. But I like your videos.
Very nice work. If you decide to make 1 video a week, your subs will explode. However, you do things your way and be content.
Great job, Drew, as usual. Your neighbor sure is lucky.
Bill
Soooo lucky
We are the lucky ones!
Well I guess now that you have the nightstands and valet, can we expect a full matching dresser build for the complete set? That outtake with the piece of dust was so funny, I was not expecting that.
Haha. Headboard and bench for the bedroom are next!
Beautiful pieces. Even though I’ll never sleep in that bed, I’ll speak for Mrs. Fisher… make her a matching head board.
In process of doing that right now
This man is marvelous! Half a man half a jig! 🎉
Whenever I will be using brass screws, I ALWAYS use an equivalent steel screw first to establish the threads, then take it out and use the brass one. I have learned this the hard way.
Me too
Yeah, I should have just waxed the threads. Slipped my mind
Genuinely my favourite woodworking channel! The way you present your builds makes them feel accessible, like anyone could do it, but the sheer quality of your work is that of a true craftsman!
Thanks a ton! :)
I saw your notification, but waited till I was sure there will be no interruptions to watch. Quality time to savour every second 😊
Hope you enjoyed it! :)
Sweet project, clear funny voiceover, another classic Fisher offering.
Thank you kindly!
As usual Drew a Cracking video from you those two Floating Nightstands look beautiful, i always enjoy watching your videos both what you are making and the funny commentary that you do, oh, and of course the Outtakes which i had to laugh at the one with the CA Glue with the bit of dirt/dust, plus the last one where your wife was standing there and the sheer look of shock on your face, like you had been caught with your Neighbours reading material (shall we say) which you found on his porch, while you were leaving him your other Nightstands, was just a classic.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
Barry (UK)
Haha thanks Barry!
Drew, once again you have produced not only a great project but continue to entertain with your self deprecating, humorous and humble methods. I just can't believe your neighbor still has any raw materials for you to keep steali..... borrowing from.
:) Thanks!
Whenever you pulled the stud finder out, I quietly hoped you would make the obvious joke. I was not disappointed. Thank you.
Now that you have these excellent, black walnut floating nightstands, you now also need an excellent, black walnut, fourposter bed frame to go with them.
Thanks! Headboard is next!
The other stud in the room, lol. Great commentary - very encouraging.
Thanks!
Nice. Love the finish. I was anxious that the neighbor wasn't going to make the cut on this one...LOL
Thanks!
Yet another GREAT project Drew. Happy Holidays to, the family AND your neighbor.
It ain't easy living next to you. He has no firewood for the winter OR a deck! !! !!!
Same to you!
“Now let me over complicate everything, and make it much harder than it actually is” - Drew and every woodworker ever on every project. 😂 Beautiful work sir, and well worth the overcomplicating lol.
Thank you very much! 😊
Love all of your videos. Glad you decided to help out your neighbor😃
Hehe thanks!
What a joy to have another Fisher’s Shop episode!
Aww thanks! :)
I recommend having tissues on hand when clamping the snot out of something.
Good call! 😂
stud finder jokes .... love it !
These nightstands turned out beautiful Drew! It’s always cool to hear you guys talk about stuff on the podcast and then see it come into fruition in the videos!
Thanks!!
Thanks Drew. These look like maybe even I could make them, probably not! Thanks for the flat head screw. To prove I watched till the end it is nice to know that you share with your neighbor. Thanks for sharing Drew!
Thanks for watching
Very nice work. It's easy to see your skills have improved over the years and I enjoy the humor.
Awesome, thank you!
"the other stud in the room" took me a second. My first thought was who built this house with only one stud then, oh, you mean you. Haha, great looking project turned out way better than the ones they replaced😂
Haha. Thanks!
Happy to see something that didn't need the CNC or laser. I know there's a lot of "love it or hate it" over those two but mostly I just dislike thier use in projects because I don't have either so I can't replicate anything needing them.
They're super fun though. Thanks for watching
The headlight flash at the end was the icing on the cake lmaoo
Oooo you need a headboard now.. next video please! Can’t wait you are one of my favourites
Thanks! Yup, it's already in the works
I was wondering if the bandaid was going to make the bloopers! Glad it was a tiny cut. Although I've noticed that as soon as you get a cut, EVERYTHING you touch seems to, well, touch the cut.
Haha, yeah
Your videos are so educational & entertaining. Plus, I love all the unnecessary walnut you use in your projects...
Thank you very much!
It's quite refreshing to see nightstand design that does not have hidden compartment for firearm.
Next project, a matching headboard! 😁😁
Already in the works!
You know what I recommend for filling small gaps. Apply some poly where the gaps are and sand with higher grit like 220+ without the vacuum on. The dust bonds to the poly and fills the gaps. Poly won’t stay on the surface. It’s super fast and works great. Don’t be shy with the poly. Make sure it’s worked into the gaps very well.
Interesting
That is interesting. Thanks for sharing that tip!
They look very nice. Now for a matching headboard for the bed.
Coming next
Nice set of nightstands Drew! Somehow I felt vindicated when the screw broke... one less slotted screw in the world. Keep up the good work!!
Haha thanks
You're soo right, finger joints and roundovers are dope!
Yeah, I dig the look
Always get a good giggle from the scripts on your vids "my gang sign" 😂
:) Thanks for watching
That piece of dust blooper 😂. Made me laugh.
It surprised me! haha
The Holidays are here! Another Fisher’s Shop! Thank you!
Enjoy!
Next project - gorgeous headboard to match the night and valet stands
In process!
uh oh... looks like someone moved Ikea nightstands. Everyone knows that where you build those things is where they should stay. Even moving them an inch will cause them to fall apart! :)
Love the new ones!
Haha, yeah. Thanks!
I think you should build a matching headboard. That would be awesome.
Coming next
I love the idea of a floating nightstand. Especially when it's full of candy! :)
Right?!
You do not do a lot of videos ,but when you I watched them ,you are a real craftsmen in my opinion .I have been woodworking for 30 yrs and still love learning.Julien
Thanks so much! I sure appreciate that!
Ha! Your comments about the handplane are hilarious!
I hope everyone is happy now. 😊
Haha, they'll never be happy
I’ve watched your work for years and love your style of design and humor. Another great project
Thank you very much!
I only subscribe to a few woodworkers on CZcams, and Drew is one of them. Love the content and the step by step instructions. Always excited to see Fisher's Shop drop a new video.
Thanks! :)
Very nice! Thanks for the humor as well as the advice on building these night stands. I hope to build at least two of them in the next month.
Have fun!
Love the floating design
Glad you like it!
Well done Mancy Drew! They turned out beautiful!
haha, thanks!
Good to see you back over the saw dust pile.
Thanks 👍
Love the look. That flamed walnut could be a guitar top :P Now with such a clean look, make sure you get some cable management for that mess on the floor. The other stud in the room... lol
Yup, all those wires are gone now
This was an amazing build Drew. You'd probably get a laugh out of my wife's and my night stands. One is a table my dad made for his living room that I inherited when he passed and my wife's is a little table thing that's actually made to be a night stand. But still absolutely hideous. I might get these plans
Haha! If you do, I hope you enjoy the build
Well done Drew
Well thanks
This is another great video fisher and amazing work again!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful Drew! Far superior to any store bought crap. Love that it matches with the valet stand
Thanks 👍
The middle piece would’ve looked more traditional as a stopped dado, that said that’s some fancy walnut grain on the top
That finish is amazing. The wood grain is the best part
I agree! Thanks for watching
Awesome from beginning to end Drew! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm really sensing a food/wood theme here. No more PB filler; instead wood dust that you can use on your cereal. And, the drawer full of Halloween candy. No wonder your horizons are broadening 😉.
Great project, as usual. Love that walnut!
Hehe thanks!
Always one of my absolute favorite woodworkers with your antics and work. I've learned a lot watching you and I incorporate it in my work...and my channel. I appreciate what you do by bringing laughter to us all. Thank you!
Thanks much!
We have very little space to work with on either side of the bed, these would work great. Entertaining video with straightforward explanations, subscribed! 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful! Welcome!
They're beautiful 😍😍 next is an epic headboard? 😬
You guessed it!
The snack drawer brought a tear to my eye. Was surprised at the low ratio of M&M's., though...
It was my son's Halloween collection. Not so many M&Ms because I've already collected and consumed the "Dad tax"
I think they’re fantastic too!
Thanks!
I really like the look of roundovers on finger joints. I've done it with plywood, too, and that's a pretty cool look for some uses.
Yeah, I like it too
Next step could be making a headboard and migrating the cleats to it. That way no matter where you put the bed, the nightstands are correctly spaced from it.
Yup that’s coming next!
Nice looking nightstands!
Thanks!
Love your videos, Drew! Keep 'em coming. 😀
Thanks! Will do!
personally I'm not out there trying to batch parts out for anyone besides me and maybe some family. I just enjoy using the planes for what they are. Hand tools are cool, but so are CNCs :D
I agree! Hand planes ARE fun. But so are lasers and CNCs. haha
Stunning nightstands, Drew! Fantastic work!!! 😃
But hey, I'm going to build some hand screw clamps... The hardware just arrived! You should do the same, it would help a lot with small pieces on the router table. 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
But then I can't mess with the safety police. :)
@@FishersShop Hmmm... Good point... 🤔
Drew, what a nice project it turned out great. I must say you turn out some nice work and I enjoy your commentary with some comedy sprinkled in. Absolutely one of the best channels
Thanks a bunch!
Love your outtakes.
:)
Beautiful. Nice work.
Thank you!
Very cool. Great job as expected. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice work Drew. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Ah Drew, laugh out loud funny and great design... Not only are the nightstands great but even the tools youve made are too... that finger joint jig was so simple yet so clever. Thanks for the wonderful education and entertainment, much appreciated. 👍🙏👏😄
Thanks so much! :)
You make it look so easy. If only... 🤔
Really nice Drew.
Thank you kindly
They look great can’t beat walnut.
I agree
Damn Skippy !!!!
I prefer Jif
I hope you kept the outer edge offcuts. Those have a beautiful character and color. I'm sure you can find something that requires some necessary walnut.
That's the plan!
The nightstands turned out gorgeous and how nice that they are floating to make vacuuming underneath a breeze! Got a huge laugh from you trying to fill the piece of dust with CA and the duct tape holding the original nightstands together. As if duct tape wasn't funny enough it was PURPLE!!! Seriously, you do beautiful work and are truly a gifted woodworker not to mention you would be a total success as a stand up comic. Thanks for another great video and lots of laughs. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thanks so much Lori! :)
Absolutely beautiful work! Maybe a bed frame and headboard next? Thanks again. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanks! Yup, headboard and bench is next
Nice work, did i miss the part where you purloined essential items from your neighbour?
Has neighbour moved away yet ?
Had neighbour ran out of anything usable?
Using drill driver with flat head screws and no slip outs ... Show off !!😂😂
Very nice Drew! I’m surprised you didn’t mention cutting down your neighbors walnut tree 😂
I always check if there is a new video
Im glad you embraced the heart wood. I personally find it lovely in many applications. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Hi Drew, love the channel! One thing I wanted to request that I've seen done elsewhere... If you're able to include a list of the tools you use in your description it would be awesome. I know you do for sponsored tools, but I really mean listing every tool. I'll often see some little square or other small tool and think "that's cool, where do I get one of those?"
Would be awesome to have a list included in each video description. Keep up the good work!
I'll take it into consideration. Not a bad idea
Thanks Drew! A couple of good examples of what I mean are Michael Alm and Brad from Fix This Build That. They tend to list everything they used, right down to the earbuds 😊
Nice Drew!
Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving.
Same to you!
Hey Drew, so those "junk" items...apparently they were big box junk at the time, but apparently the younger generation thinks that these are the best things since smart phones. Thank you for the retirement gift...we're going on vacation for 6 months with the profits from those pieces of junk. :) Don't know where those kids got that kind of money (they can't afford their student loans ya know), but hey... cash is king, and they had a LOT of it. :)
Thanks for finally giving back.
Yet another amazing build and video. Keep up the amazing work Drew. 👽
Thanks a ton!
I always love your outtakes! Night stands look great!
Glad you like them!
cool build Drew
Thanks
Great simple design!
Thank you! 😊
Drew these nightstands turned out amazing and look absolutely beautiful the grain and sapwood looks amazing keep up the amazing work. Always love your videos and outtakes.
Thanks so much!
Another great vid! Happy Turkey Day!
Thanks! You too!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
as always an awesome job and as always very entertaining.
Thanks!
Excellent project. 👍👍
Many thanks
