    These are bedroom night tables and are the first phase in a complete bedroom set that includes a bed and dresser. They are made mostly from solid ash with some 1/4″ plywood and solid walnut for accents. The style is modern with simple, clean lines and a minimum of decoration.
    They have a single wide and shallow drawer and no lower shelf to collect clutter.

  2. That is just an awesome look. The pattern of the two drawer fronts is class. Not book matched, but flowing. Very nice work John.

  3. Increíble trabajo, como siempre, detalle, limpieza, dedicación, etc. Un placer mirar tus videos, un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

  4. Good job, great technique. I like how you made economical use of the walnut for the dovetail keys and banding for the floating spacer.

  5. Those tables turned out even better than the model you drew up. The continuous grain is incredible as well as those handles.

    What model was that third blade with the flat top teeth? I have a 24T flat top but I want to get a 40 or 50 tooth blade.

  6. Great project John. Lots of good techniques. I always learn something (I mostly learn my jigs are crap!).

  7. Those turned out very beautiful! You have a very unique style when it comes to details on the construction of your furniture.

    Regards,
    Etna.

  8. John, I know you say build videos don’t do well, but I have to say I just love yours. They are invaluable. Thanks!

  9. Great build. A lot of good tips in this one. But your thumbnail was missing “HUGE MISTAKE!”

  10. Really beautiful, John — stunning! The walnut accents are perfect! And when you consider the bulk of your tools are hand made, that makes your work even more special. I know you’re primarily a power tool woodworker over hand tools, but I think a third category is needed in your case … a hand-power tool user!

  11. In reading through some comments, I can safely say these bed side tables are a hit. I think they are beautiful. The walnut accent band makes them, if you ask me.
    I just bought that FTG blade a couple months ago. CMT is really pumping out the blades, and bits! I’ll be taking advantage of the savings here for a much needed miter saw blade.
    Here’s to another excellent build!

  12. Those nightstands are beautiful John. I love how you carried the grain pattern around and I like the difference in the color between the base and the upper section. And both drawer fronts cut from the same piece is a nice touch too. So even though they won’t be next to each other the grain will carry from one to the other and tie them together. You have a good eye for design and detail and follow through with your implementation.

    Looking forward to seeing the rest of the bedroom suite in upcoming episodes.

  13. GREAT project John. All of your projects have that “tough of extra” that makes them stand out! !! !!!
