Stunning Fine Furniture from 2x4s! This even blew my mind!

I wanted to try something different and challenge myself and see if I could use cheap 2x4s from the home center and make a stunning piece of fine furniture. Even though I was pretty picky when selecting these 2x4s they still had their flaws. None were perfectly straight or flat, and even the best ones still had ugly knots to work around. I went into this woodworking project confident that this cabinet would come out pretty good but I had no idea it would come out as good as it did. I was blown away by the results and nobody in a million years would guess this cabinet was made from the cheapest wood you can get.

Cutting an arc to make an arch feature was pure genius.
-
I love that he has Groundhog Day on repeat in the background. Subtle and hilarious 😂
-
In the nicest way possible…with that amount of milling you may as well call the video ‘making fine furniture from trees’, as all wooden furniture makers do.
-
Damn, this dude's workshop is nicer than my actual living space. I'm seriously low-key jealous as hell.
-
The editing is amazing on this and absolutely hilarious. The finger condom in the wallet was amazing and the car drive almost had me in tears. Great work guys.
-
Holy crap we laughed so hard throughout this entire video. This is your best so far! Love your humor and of course “sand in the place where you live” cut short made us howl we love that so much. Thank you for making these videos we always yell out “David posted a video!” 🏆

You do not talk too much. Your narration is what make your vids so damn interesting. There are others that talk too much but def not you. Keep it up and we’ll keep tuning in! Thanks for the vids.

The finger condom in the wallet was pure gold!! TOO FUNNY!!
-
That is really something. Taking the most basic of lumber and making art. Nicely done sir.
-
As much as I've enjoyed previous episodes, how you continue to elevate your editing takes this episode to the next level. Great project and awesome storytelling!
-
I almost spit out my drink when I heard the dial up sound. Great project David!
-
Got really excited when you talked about this video on the podcast. Seemed affordable as something for me and Ali to do. I gotta tell you, you DID NOT disappoint, sir! I know you've decided to not do more 2x4 into fine furniture projects and that's ok! I think this is going to be so inspiring for us to come up with our own projects! Great job and keep 'em coming!
-
Actually the nicest peice of 2x4 furniture I have ever seen! Inspiring!
-
my grandmother approves!
-
The anticipation on the sanding scene about killed me and “sand in the place never played” 💀

My father used to make furniture from orange box wood 2 X 1 planed down ,it was in the 50s in UK not much material to be had ,no such thing as an electric drill etc he had a hand plane ,a hand saw,a hand drill and chisels. He would finish the furniture with French polishing and like you he could create fine furniture from nothing. Built a desk for my older sister that eventually became my pride and joy lasted 50yrs it was destroyed in an accident whilst moving ,broke my heart. Thank you for reminding me of the times I used to watch him work and wonder what he would have done with all your magnificent tools.His favourite joint was dovetailing.
-
So awesome! The design details really do a great job of hiding the "pine-iness" of the wood. Super cool piece.
-
Great content as always, I love the humour in your videos, laughed out loud when you got your wallet out😂
-
As the viewer of these videos, I must say I love when I hear sanding noises and have a Pavlovian response anxiously anticipating R.E.M. to start playing. Well done, training complete.

Speak your mind. It makes me.feel better cuz inalways feel like I should know what I am doing in the garage and rarely do I have a clue. It's nice to see other woodworkers talking to themselves and working stuff out!
