  1. I am so thankful for you posting this. I can diy many things and am always looking for ideas. My wife wanted me to build her nightstands with a drawer, but I havent built a drawer yet. Your instructions could jot be clearer and so easy to follow. One of the first plans i followed and it was so enjoyable to follow a “recipe” and just enjoy the process. I made one and will be making a video for our youtube to show the second one and will definitely be sharing your channel and your links because it was perfect.

    Thanks for all of the hard work. Its very appreciated.

  2. Terrible design. I am sorry but this is a horrible idea. I just wasted $150 on sub-par lumber trying to build this. You can’t get wood worth anything, and the design with only one pocket screw for each connection is just bad. These require a series of screws in a row. I have real skills and tools but this is a disaster. I respectfully request the author to take this post down. Sorry, very disappointed. I could have bought new and nicer one o ebay or better yet find a deal on craigslist.

  3. Plan on building a couple of these. Excellent plans! I don’t have a brad nailer but assume you could attach drawer face to drawers with carefully placed pilot holes (including depth) and wood screws from the inside.

  4. I tried building this nightstand but unfortunately I cannot get the top to square. I have followed all the instructions cut everything to measurements indicated but it just doesn’t square

  5. so you align up everything to perfection, drill your holes by eye and when screw is in, everything shifts. how to avoid it?

  6. Very nice job, I would sand and glue as well for extra strength and longevity. I’m building a similar stand a little taller and out of Oak.

  7. Thanks for the tutorial. When you stained the wood, did you mix both color and then apply? Or did you apply classic gray stain first, wait for it to dry and then apply the early american?

  8. I bought you ebook on weathered staining. I thought there was a section on how to make the wood look with paint. I have a set of nightstands I am trying to refinish but they are not real wood and I want the modern grey/tan weathered look. I am just not sure what paint colors to use to make this happen.

  9. I downloaded your plans and ended up building something very similar to this, although I did change the design of the lower shelf. Overall this is a great-looking project that is pretty easy to make. I attached the top with figure eight fasteners instead of pocket holing and gluing the top – I would definitely recommend doing that, because the top can still expand and contract laterally with seasons. You are correct that 14" bottom-mount drawer slides would work with these dimensions – that’s what I ended up doing.

  10. You’re a highly talented person. I enjoy watching your videos, clear instructions with such a beautiful voice. Great work!

  11. Hi, Angela! I am just curious about the pocket holes that would be on the side of the drawer. Would that be in anyway dangerous and cause wood splinter?

  12. Beautiful job! As a woodworker I am always looking for new ideas and I must say Angela you did an incredible job. Enjoyed the video.

  13. In the blueprints I purchased, you recommend two additional pocket holes in each of the two lower 13" cross pieces (ostensibly to attach the lower shelf). In the video, no such pocket holes are shown, and in the alternative, it appears that you drilled pocket holes in the lower shelf to attach it to the cross pieces. Since the lower shelf fits within the inside perimeter to the lower cross-members, it seems that the way you demonstrate in the video is preferable to what is described in the blueprints. Do you agree?? Thanks.

  14. Hi! The night stand you made is absolutely gorgeous.. i just wanted to ask about the measurements because i can’t seem to understand the measurements on the page like what does 2×2@8ft mean? It cannot be 8 feet so i would really appreciate it if you could help me out with the measurements..

  15. It’s been 11 months since the build. I’m just curious to if it shrunk or warped at all? I want to make these ones but I’m worried about how it will look when the wood settles.

  16. Angela, your night stands came out great and they sure beat the heck out of that college day furniture. Thanks for Sharing!
