The flat carts Home Depot have work great for it, I either bring if I have one or buy the one inch pink panther foam sheets that are 4x8 set the wood ontop and so you have a spoilboard surface and happy cutting. You just have to figure out where the flat spot in the parking lot is haha.

Sadly I have a stand :( too lazy to get it out

The stand for those table saws goes on sale a few times a year. Snag one when it’s around $75 and save your back and possibly some digits.

Yes for sure. Kinda got the craftsman farmhouse theme throughout. Did a home tour and thought it looked great. Could have easily hidden the flanges with the same hinge but we choose to show the hardware.

cool. was having the hinges on top a design choice? would seem to be cleaner to hide the hinges.

Try it on one spot and let it dry to test. Rarely and with the right technique (so the roller rolls and doesnt plane) it can work with one or two spots.

Though in most cases (and when testing isnt an option) i agree, a second coat is pretty much your default go-to.

Dude this is some next-level genius right here.

Thanks we love the window too. So much I'm installing the exact size of window in the bathroom as I type this!

I think it looks great. I’m also soooo jealous of your window in your closet. :)

Thanks! I have only been at for 9 months. Started with bbq and diy. My subs at the time wanted more diy so I lost a couple hundred subs going diy only. I like to bbq but it's seems to be repetitive after awhile. DIY is exciting and it's normally something new! Glad you like the channel it's starting to pick up a little now :)

It's in my bio sorry they don't like more than one link on a post :)

Do you have a link? I'll go sub

Dude, just watched a couple videos. LOVE your new office :) A+ content! You make this stuff look so accessible and easy. I'm still setting my expectation that most projects will be PITAs, so I won't get discouraged when it comes to that. But damn if this isn't encouraging and exciting!

You have a happy new subscriber for sure. I'm amazed you don't have more subscribers. Keep at it. I'm sure your channel will grow considerably.

Wow she has skills! Hey that's ok it's a team thing ;) I did the same, learned on line. Now I know a bunch but still find myself checking on here and YouTube. It's learning it never ends! Check me out on YouTube got some pretty neat stuff on there!

My wife is the handyman in our home, far and above (I'm just the handsy man 😉🤔). I'm really not good at hands-on things. I have too many OCD's and it just takes me a really long time for me to get going. I have to fight my own mind and usually over think things and make mistakes.

Her current project (she usually has one or two) is a built in shelving/cabinet/electrical fireplace for our tv area. Pic. Framed is the beginning of the bench. She doesn't have a history of wood working or anything, so she just figures things out as she goes, following online guides or DIY things like yours.

Yeah maybe but I give this guy credit they were 16 :)

> 16 inches is 16 inches right?

16” might be anywhere from 15” to 17” for some of the people working there.

That's great and thanks! I have been flagged enough to be extremely detailed on here :)

Well if you like this kind of stuff checkout my bio and YouTube channel. I have all kinds of projects, tips and tricks (90 videos). I have a YouTube short on my must have tools! Subscribe so you don't miss anything :)

I started diy home improvements when I was 28 and now I'm 49 so 20 years of experience and I'm not afraid to do anything. First project was a tile floor on my starter home :) since then I have built my own home and rebuilt a apartment building along with tons of other stuff. You can save so much money diy!

My tip is buy only battery tools and a decent name brand too. I have had the same tools for years and zero issues. One brand so you can use the same batteries. I have like 10 dewalt tools and only 5 good batteries which is perfect! Good luck you can do it!

Wonderful project with a great write up, photos and documentations! Really appreciate your explanations.

As a guy in my mid 30s who is about to have a place I can work on for the very first time in my life, I'm super excited by projects like these. Also thank you for listing out the tools and materials you used! I'm trying to think of what tools I should focus on purchasing first. I have absolutely nothing aside from a single, corded power drill. Any tips for a true beginner on where to start?

That sucks!
