    How to Cut Perfect Circles with a Plunge Router & Milescraft Circle Guide Kit

    In this video I'll show you how you can use a plunge router and a circle cutting jig to create PERFECT circles every time!

    The circle guide cutting kit that I'm using in this video is from Milescraft. The kit comes with everything that you will need to get started (besides the router). The setup takes a little bit of time but once that is tackled, then the actually cutting part takes hardly any time at all.

    I hope you find this video informative and it helps you achieve those perfect wooden circles!

    Simple Tapering Jig for the Table Saw

    In this video I throw together a quick and simple tapering jig using some leftover scrap wood so that I could cut some tapers on some legs for a project that I've been working on (stay tuned for that video). In the video I show you how you can set up this jig for repeatable cuts at the table saw.

    For these legs, I was only tapering them on two sides so this jig works really well for that. However, if you were planning to taper on all four sides then you might have to make some adjustments on the jig after you taper the first two sides. There are definitely more customizable types of tapering jigs that you can make but for those you have to invest a little more time into constructing them. For someone who doesn't do tapers a ton (me) this was a good solution because it required minimal time and materials and it got me back to working on my project.

    I hope you guys find this video helpful. If so...let me know! :)

    How to Make a Bathroom Vanity

    In this video I show you all the steps to build a bathroom vanity from start to finish. The particular bathroom vanity that I built was going into a half bathroom and it consisted of 6 drawers and 2 cabinet doors. For the top I glued up some oak boards and installed a vessel style sink on top. Check out my previous video to see how much of a total transformation this bathroom undertook!

    Carpet Stair Runner Install

    In this video I tackle installing a carpet stair runner on a set of stairs that I had previously renovated. This was a fairly simple install that only took me about 2 hours from start to finish. This project is definitely beginner friendly and only required minimal tools. It's a great way to sort of change up the look of an older stairway as well as making it a little bit safer for getting up and down those stairs.

    Table Top Epoxy: Everything You Need To Know For the Ultimate Finish

    Welcome to my ultimate beginner’s guide on table top epoxy, where I reveal everything you need to know for achieving stunning results! Whether you're an experienced DIY enthusiast or just beginning your journey with epoxy, this video is an absolute must-watch. In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll dive deep into the world of table top epoxy. From understanding how much to mix up for each epoxy coating to mastering the application process.

    Epoxy can seem confusing at first right? I mean there are so many different types and it can seem complicated initially to know exactly what you are looking for in an epoxy. I’ve worked with epoxy several times before but this was actually my first time using table top epoxy. I will say it was very easy in terms of mixing since the ratio was simply 1:1. It did take a little extra time to get that super glass-like appearance though so I hope this video is able to help guide you to figuring out how to work with this type of epoxy so that you can achieve the same results that I did. If done right, I do think this table top epoxy can look really cool and really accentuate the natural beauty of the wood top (or whatever you’ve chosen to apply epoxy to).

    How to Install Laminate to a Table Top

    In this video I'll show you how I installed some Formica laminate to a really worn down table top. This old dining room table has been beaten up over the last few years because I've been using it in the shop as a work surface. So I decided to add some laminate to the top for a cleaner look and as an added bonus, things like wood glue will not stick to it! I can clean up any of those wood glue drips with a chisel and a good wipe down.

    How To Use a Simple Doweling Jig

    In this video I'll show you how you can use a simple doweling jig to create a super sturdy joint for joining two pieces of wood together using some dowels. The doweling jig that I'm using in this video is from Powertec and it is meant to drill out holes for 3/8" dowel pins. These dowel pins in combination with a little glue can create a really strong wood joint. It can also be another solution for joining pieces together if you're hoping to avoid using some sort of pocket hole screws that can be seen.

    There are lots of different types of doweling jigs on the market to choose from. This is an affordable, beginner friendly one that can get the job done.
