Woodworkers Secrets Revealed – Click Here to Discover the #1 Woodworking Resource!
In Australia your videos usually come out at night time, so I generally watch them in bed. I started making my own YouTube videos after watching your channel and I started using skill share. My videos aren’t woodworking though. Keep up the killer work mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. Your videos are so much fun to watch, man. You’re killin’ it!
Watching from the couch in my bar on Sunday morning.
Great project. Love the way you tied the tables together. The “amp” grills look awesome. Will keep my eyes open for similar tables.
Love, love, love this and your video style!!! Watching while I’m eating my breakfast because what better way to start the day than with some Make Something shenanigans?! 😂
Beautiful work, Dave! It really turned out amazing! 😃
I’m watching in my living room, sitting on my rocking chair, while playing on my smart TV.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I love how bright and cheery your work studio is! The desk looks fantastic as well 🙂
Watching this one from my wife’s sewing room next to my workshop but usually watch from my recliner in our motorhome. Really nice piece.
Thank you for all the comments letting me know where you’re watching from. It really does help me understand how my videos are consumed. Also, a lot of you made me laugh pretty good on this fine Sunday morning. Have a great week everyone! Here are some more transformation videos to watch: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhqK_8dnaIW3CFOrkJ7U4I-nIyhWA1fMV
@home, @my desk. Thanx Dave
I watched your video sitting at my desk in my Ladies’ Parlor/Art Studio where I also have my desktop computer.
Now I want to go out and find two Mid Century tiered end tables. What an amazing transformation and design.
Love seeing what comes out of your mind when you find old pieces like this. Beautiful work and love the shadow line on the leg transitions
Super fun project, great video, and I may have laughed too hard at the “your mom” joke. 😂 Today I’m watching from home over breakfast. When you release during the week, I’ll watch over lunch at work. Looking forward to the next Heavy D release. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
A nice revision of an old piece of furniture. I was a little skeptical about the color variations of the oak, the result is nice. Well seen the loudspeaker cover in homage to the old guitar amps.
I usually watch your videos on Sunday mornings with a coffee in hand.
*It’s Looks Amazing Great Work!!! 👍🏻*
*Loving this Series!!* 👍🏻
I love your videos. Love love love. Also love your books. Actually made one thing from your kitchen book … and it came out ok. I’m pretty new at this, but also very uncertain of myself, so it takes a while to start projects. Lots of overthinking. I watch all videos in my home office. Mostly retired, so not at work.
I always see end tables like these at cheap at second hand stores but I have no idea what to do with them. This is a great upcycling idea.
That speaker grill cover material is exactly what I need. Although I’m not going to do this project, you have cool ideas that I will incorporate in my projects. Thanks for the video. BTW I’m a podcast listener.
Watching from my living room on my laptop. Great build as usual, and honestly, I think you were pretty restrained on this piece given your other projects.
I laughed out loud, “It’s rough on all sides, like your mom”!
And I bowed to another David P. gem of wisdom when you said, “It always has to go through the door.” I’m with you. That should be on a plaque in every woodshop in America.
BTW: The desk looks awesome. The retro guitar amp touch is pure genius.
It’s an amazing transformation, can’t wait to see more!! I watch your video pretty much always at home before bed, or during lunch break!
Sitting in the kitchen watching your video. Always love seeing what you come up with you are a true artist and craftsmen thanks for sharing as always.keep up the amazing work
