I'm gonna prove to you that you can make some stunning fine furniture with nothing but 2x4s from the home center. And this video is brought to us by Squarespace. We are back from the Home Depot. I was pretty darn picky about the 2x4s that I picked, even though I was picky. These boards still are not straight, they're not flat. They're some things that we need to work around. We're gonna do everything in our power to make these 2x4s look as good as possible. We're gonna make some fine furniture. First thing I need to do is rough cut these to length and then we start planing down and seeing what we got. I just want to interrupt and say this is Picciuto from the future here. And I just want to say that I knew that this was going to come out pretty good, but I did not expect it to come out this freaking good. I am absolutely blown away. The planer was causing these little fuzzies on there. So now I'm running everything through the drum sander to get that beautiful fine woodworking finish. So I've got five of the six sides of each board milled up. Now I have to cut this to width, but on the bottom here I want this to flare out. So in the table saw, I'm gonna come down and I'll stop about right here and then I'll finish this off over on the bandsaw. So using some tape to gang them all up, made sure that they all came out exactly the same shape and size. There'll be two legs up front, two legs in the back. Now I have to go to the table, saw and cut a groove that's going to hold the sides and the back. I said I was gonna cut this dado over at the table. Saw I changed my mind. The router is a better tool for this operation and I just changed my mind again. Instead of doing any of that, I think I should cut the rails. That's going to go all the way around this first, cuz that's gonna help me with some measurements. So stop changing your mind and start cutting. I get a lot of comments like you talk too much. Shut up and cut. Talk too much. You talk too much. On the bottom of all of these, I am going to draw a little arc. Arch or arc Arc. Arc arch. Arch arc. Arch, arch? Arc? We're gonna draw one of those. I'm going to cut out a little arc on the bottom of all of these, just decorative just to make it look fancy. So before I cut that arc out, I want to cut a dado on the bottom of all these, except for the front pieces, just kind of figuring this out as I go. Um, to hold the sides and back panels. I gotta remember to not cut too many cuz there's not gonna be a front panel. I've got, I've got a plan for the front. As long as I don't F this up, I've got everything kind of rough assembled here now it still might look a little bulky. And 2x4y Take it easy. Take it easy. I got a plan. This is gonna look really good. This is one of like, the cool thing about this is normally a lot of times we're just working with three quarter inch material because we're working with inch and a quarter material. We get to play around with different looks. And if I was gonna use inch and a quarter walnut for this, this would be kind of an expensive project. So I am really happy. I think this is gonna look really good. So I, I need to make the three panels that's going to go in the back and the sides and they're just gonna float within these groove. And the reason they're gonna float in there is because it's gonna expand and contract and this stuff wasn't dried properly or, or at least not dried to fine woodworking conditions. So these boards are gonna move quite a bit. So I just want them to free float in these grooves here. So back to some 2x4s. Cutting res, sawing, gluing, flattening, sanding and cutting. In that order, Now we're gonna glue up these panels. So these have been sitting in the clamps for a few minutes. We're gonna take 'em out and plane them down The middle shelf and the bottom shelf are just going to sit on a couple of dowels pins that we're going to cut. I don't want them permanently attached in there just because of expansion and contraction. If I was using plywood, I wouldn't have to worry about that. So the middle one is going to go in optical center. If you, that's a graphic design term, meaning just above actual center. Your eyes see. Optical center as center. It's a, it's a whole thing. I went to school for graphic design. I ended up being a terrible graphic designer, but I, I remember one thing from college, optical center. So Daniel... You were a. Very successful graphic designer. I did. Okay. I did. Okay. Liar. I did. Okay. Liar. All right. To the drill press. So we drilled the holes and now we pound some pegs. So we drilled these holes and we'll pound these pegs. Now it's time to cut the joinery so we can join things together. I guess that's why they call it joinery? Yeah. Huh? Huh. Gluing everything together and adding the fest tool biscuits. I don't like sanding, I don't like finishing, I don't like using the router. But I think the thing that I don't like the most, besides just woodworking in general is assembly. That is, it's so stressful, but it all goes to get like you're tightening clamps and you hear things cracking and it's trying to twist and get into place and it's looking good. It's looking really good! My favorite comments, my second favorite comments are the comments of like me using like a Festool Domino. And then next thing I'm using Harbor Freight clamps. People find that funny. I just, I'm just using the best tool for the job. What do you think Daniel? Fishing For compliments. Yeah. Let's go
