Using a biscuit joiner! | PLANS AVAILABLE

In this video, I build nightstands with a unique side shelf. It is all built out of maple-veneered plywood and hard maple edging. #woodworking #nightstands #tracksaw #smallshop #sidetable #smallshop #furniture

    Very nice execution. I like the design. I probably would have made one a mirror image of the other, but otherwise I like the look of it.

    Nice! Reminds me of how my dad made many of his kitchen cabinets and different furniture such as tv stand cabinets. Really solid construction that goes together quickly as well. I like the shop setup, I've never used a track saw but it really does look like it replaces a table saw and chop saw.

    Super build. I like the video explaining all progress. Well done.

    Did you think about mirroring the design so they would look like a set when placed on either side of the bed?
  • @davidroderickjr
    Nice build. Did you have a specific item in mind to store on the side shelf when you designed the nightstand?

    what's the deal with the one rough cut leg?
