Sooo many good tips! Best love letter to white oak, if I’ve ever seen one.

The past tense of cost is cost when you’re using the word to say the price of something. Costed is the past tense of cost when you’re using the word to describe the act of estimating the price of something.

I'm an old carpenter and watch a heap of YouTubes on furniture building and finish carpentry. You have blown me away with your skill and attention to detail. Well done and keep up the great work.
-
I was kind of indifferent to slat walls until I watched this. This is a work of art.
-
We do custom finish carpentry for almost 18 years. Always try to be the best. But the attention to details u have and dedication is just another level
-
I know I’ll be watching this video over and over again when I’m working on my projects. You’ve packed so much information in this video that for me as a beginner in woodworking it’s impossible to absorb it all at once. The final product looks fabulous. “Great job” would be an understatement 👏👏👏
-
This is so perfect - I’ve been wanting do this exact thing in my main bedroom with a suspended chest of drawers instead of a media cabinet. The wall configuration is almost identical to what’s in this video. So many great design and execution tips! Thanks!
-
Cool project. Thanks for the tips, measuring in multiples and using water at glue up. I really enjoy the music you employ Thanks for sharing.
-
One of the best woodworking projects I have seen. Good to see how you deal with minor repairs during the build.
-
I watch a lot of woodworking videos for entertainment, but I genuinely learn useful solutions to problems I’m likely to encounter from your videos. Really great work. Here’s hoping the algorithm catches on.
-
I've used a shop vac to draw glue into cracks. Just purchased 500 board feet of rift red oak for cabinets throughout my home. Huge savings over white oak.
-
Who would have thought a wood stripped wall would involve so much detail. Well researched and well done.
-
You do some tremendous work. Love the attention to detail and the forethought in planning. Can’t believe you aren’t above 100K subs. Keep up the good work
-
I gleaned quite a few new tips and tricks from this video. Particularly cutting larger pieces for easier gluing and just cutting them down afterwards. The chamfered front edge of the cabinets really lightens the design and the inset pulls don't detract from that either. I've been using ash lately because it's just a little more expensive than red oak, but has the color of white oak and bit tighter grain.
-
So beautiful! And great repair, you would never know that you glued on that board. How you got those slats and gaps to line up just blows my mind. You are such a craftsman and as I have said before, your videos are amazing. Thank you for the content.
-
Thanks for sharing this. Your work is so CRISP! I really appreciate you showing us how you recover from mistakes that are made during the process. Building things can be pretty straight forward, but the real skill is knowing how to fix the inevitable things that will, without doubt, show up.
-
Really nice look. I love red oak! Great idea too I thought using the mdf to put it on seems to make the job that much easier. Thanks for sharing.
-
Man, this turned out so good! Attention to detail is everything and I’m happy to see someone else has it too! Literally the only thing I would have changed is having the cabinet sides line up with the slats, kind of like the door trim. But I’m a little ocd, soooo… 😂 Great work!
-
This project turned out beautifully! You did a great job at disguising the red oak to resemble white oak.
-
I admire that you do your job so well that it becomes an art.
