A: Great question...My tripod got stuck and I tried pulling up on it to loosen it and it came loose...right into my face. I've officially been injured in my shop more often by camera equipment than power tools...Nice. I used to have a $12 tripod that worked great for years, but I convinced myself I needed a new $150 tripod. Guess which one I hate more...Q: How much weight can a drawer box hold?A: How much a drawer box can hold will largely depend on the type of slides you’re using–not necessarily the drawer box itself.Most standard side mount ball bearing drawer slides are rated for 100 lbs. However, some heavier duty slides are rated for more. Check manufacturer’s specs on your specific slides.I weigh more than 100 lbs and I made a video a few years back showing how I can stand in a drawer that I built using the dado method shared in this video and the bottom holds just fine. Here's a link to that video: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries/video/6832371051255647493So if the drawer box can hold over 100 lbs, then you’re most likely limited by the rating of the slides, not the structure of the drawer box.Q: (From the pocket hole haters) Why don't I build drawers using dovetails and/or box joints?A: See answer above. If my pocket hole drawer box can hold more weight than the slides can, then why do I need to make building a drawer box more complicated and time consuming just to make it stronger? The slides will still max out before the drawer box will. The pocket holes are hidden in the end result once they're installed, so no one's going to know or see them unless they take the drawer out and look at the back. So...Who cares? If you enjoy making box joints and dovetails, go for it! If you just want a functional drawer...pocket holes do the job (and they do it well).Q: Do I use wood glue with my pocket holes?A: No. You certainly can, though. It's not going to hurt anything...it just may not really help anything. But it will definitely make the job a lot messier ha!Q: Why don't I use 1/2" plywood?A: I answer that here: youtu.be/l3qLL4vekow?t=1014Tools & Materials:*Affiliate links belowTools:Miter Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/b3DkDxDrill/Driver: homedepot.sjv.io/Aoo6YaCircular Saw (only need if using plywood): homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYxKreg Rip Cut (optional): amzn.to/3Y38tDQPocket Hole Jig (optional): amzn.to/32eoPBYTable Saw or Router (optional): no link--this particular model is discontinued.

An easy DIY to stay sane during rainy season #shorts Shara Woodshop Diaries 2023-02-02 | I don’t know about where you are, but it’s rainy season where I am and the yard is a constant state of muddy mess. I’ve been using these rock filled trays for years to keep my sanity during the winter and spring. It’s a great place to drop your boots so they can dry off and it helps keep your floors from collecting water puddles and mud prints. And no, before anyone asks, we haven’t had issues with mold in ours and I simply vacuum out the debris every couple weeks. #kregjig #madewithkreg #THDxVigoro #homedepot #rainydaydiy #easydiy #diyhack @KregToolCompany @HomeDepot

This design (unlike some of the leaning options) stands on it’s own and doesn’t have to mount to the wall.If you want to build your own, grab the project details and step by step tutorial here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-freestanding-ladder-bookshelfAnd grab the printable building plans here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/collections/shelves-and-storage/products/ladder-bookshelf-plansFollow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram: instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comHelpful Resources to Use in the Build:How to cut your own 2x2s: woodshopdiaries.com/woodworking-tips-square-edges-make-your-own-2x2sHow to cut plywood sheets: woodshopdiaries.com/cut-down-plywood-sheets-with-circular-sawHow to use a pocket hole jig: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-use-pocket-hole-jigHow to apply iron on edge banding: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-cover-plywood-edgesTools and Materials:*Affiliate links belowTools:Ryobi ONE+ 18V HP 10” Cordless Compound Sliding Miter Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/rnVQKdRyobi ONE+ 18V HP Drill/Driver: homedepot.sjv.io/Aoo6YaRyobi ONE+ 18V HP Circular Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYxCutting guides (only needed if you use plywood for shelves): homedepot.sjv.io/29PAQPocket Hole Jig: homedepot.sjv.io/JrnodNCountersink drill bit (Kreg Quick Flip used here)ClampsSpeed SquareMaterials: (4) 2x2x8 boards(4) 1x2x8 boards½ sheet ¾” plywood OR scrap solid wood boards (see notes below)1 ¼” pocket hole screws: homedepot.sjv.io/eGn3r2 ½” wood screws: homedepot.sjv.io/1v7BgWood GlueChapters:00:00 Introduction00:33 Materials for the project01:07 Let's Talk Tools02:24 Assembling the Bookshelf Side Frames05:12 Installing the shelf support rungs07:03 Assembling the shelves08:57 Attaching the Shelves09:51 Complete Shelf Build
How to Build an Oversized Nightstand to Match a Dresser Shara Woodshop Diaries 2022-12-31 | Hey friends! In this video, I'm sharing how I built my parents some oversized nightstands to match their new bed and dresser set.If you'd like to build your own, you can grab the printable plans here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/products/3-drawer-oversized-nightstand-plansCheck out the written tutorial with helpful tips along the way here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-oversized-nightstand-with-3-drawersThey originally wanted me to build them a whole suite. BUT, while I was dragging my feet a little too long about it, she ended up finding a bed she really liked for a really good deal (cheaper than I could make it) at a local furniture shop.So her and my dad snatched up the bed and dresser, but the nightstands that came with the set were a just little...well, a lot...too small for their liking.So they asked me to build them two oversized nightstands to "match." I took the liberty to change up some design elements so it's not necessarily an exact MATCH to the existing furniture, but it coordinates well and fits right in.I hope you enjoy watching them come together here in this video.Follow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram: instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comHelpful Resources to Use in the Build:How to cut your own 2x2s: woodshopdiaries.com/woodworking-tips-square-edges-make-your-own-2x2sHow to cut plywood sheets: woodshopdiaries.com/cut-down-plywood-sheets-with-circular-sawHow to use a pocket hole jig: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-use-pocket-hole-jigHow to apply iron on edge banding: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-cover-plywood-edgesHow to build and install drawers: woodshopdiaries.com/theres-no-wrong-way-to-make-a-drawerTips to Professional Looking DIY Projects: woodshopdiaries.com/5-diy-furniture-tips-to-look-professionalHow to finish raw wood furniture: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-finish-raw-wood-furniture-without-a-sprayerTools and Materials:*Affiliate links belowTools:Miter Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/b3DkDxCircular saw and cutting guides: homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYx & amzn.to/3GpFeoP & amzn.to/3G0g1AcDrill/Driver: homedepot.sjv.io/Aoo6YaPocket Hole Jig: amzn.to/32eoPBYBrad nailer: homedepot.sjv.io/c/1404662/1354698/8154Table Saw or Router (optional–for cutting dadoes in drawers)Materials:(1) 4×8 sheet ¾″ plywood: homedepot.sjv.io/9rR95(1) 4×8 sheet ¼″ plywood(2) 2x2x8 boards(3) 1x3x8 boards(1) 1x2x8 board(1) 8ft piece cove molding (optional)(4) 8ft pieces half round molding (optional)(3) 8ft pieces ¼″ x 1 ½″ lattice trim (optional)(2) 8ft pieces ¼″ square dowel (optional)1 ¼″ pocket hole screws: amzn.to/3FKfikk1 ¼″ brad nails(3) pair 14″ drawer slides: amzn.to/3Vo3ufA90 degree corner brackets OR figure 8 fasteners: amzn.to/3jkTlTkIron On Edge Banding: amzn.to/3nx64RTWood Glue: amzn.to/34NCtuvWood Finish as desiredKnobs/Drawer Pulls: amzn.to/3hTZWnwChapters:00:00 Introduction00:53 A look at the matching set01:23 Building the nightstand frame04:16 Installing drawer dividers05:18 Installing Drawer Slides06:18 Building the drawers08:11 Installing the drawers08:43 Trimming out the drawer fronts10:12 Adding Trim to Nightstand Frame11:22 Installing the Drawer Fronts11:56 Painting--kind of13:09 Attaching the top15:08 Finish Nightstands and Conclusion

How to Build a GLASS DOOR CABINET with DRAWER Shara Woodshop Diaries 2022-08-27 | Hey friends! I'm back with a fun new furniture build to share...this time, it's a Display Cabinet with Drawer!I built a glass door cabinet a few years ago that I LOVED. However, when we moved from our last house, it stayed with it and I've wanted to build another one for our new house since we moved in almost a year ago!So, I'm excited this build has finally come to life.A huge thank you to @Weaber Lumber supplying the white oak for this build! Check out Weaber Lumber products here: weaberlumber.com/hardwood-trim-boardsCheck out the step by step tutorial plus project details on the blog here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-display-cabinet-with-drawerGrab the printable plans here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/collections/shelves-and-storage/products/display-cabinet-with-drawerWhile being a content creator is fun, there are a lot of things going on at all times that sometimes cause you to have to rush to get things done. This build is a prime example of that. Too many deadlines on too many platforms plus trying to keep fresh content and videos coming out caused me to cut some corners I otherwise wouldn't have just to stay on schedule.Nonetheless, I'm really happy with how this came out and I plan to revisit the doors at a later time to "touch up" the things I'm just not 100% happy with. All in all, it's a solid build I'm proud to put to good use.Hope you enjoy watching!Follow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram: instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comTools & Materials:*Affiliate links belowTools:Circular Saw and straight edge (or cutting guides): homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYx & amzn.to/325pRR6Miter Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/b3DkDxTable SawDrill/Driver: homedepot.sjv.io/Aoo6YaStapler/Brad Nailer: homedepot.sjv.io/c/1404662/1354698/8154Pocket Hole Jig: amzn.to/32eoPBY3/8" dowel Jig (optional): amzn.to/3qYNVynRouter and Rabbeting Bit: homedepot.sjv.io/vqZAA & homedepot.sjv.io/do070jChisel: homedepot.sjv.io/gbGyBgShelf Pin Jig: amzn.to/3FbgZaZConcealed Hinge Jig: amzn.to/3Rc65qZClampsSanderMaterials:(1) 1x2x8 board(4) 1x3x8 boards(1) 1x4x8 board(2) 2x2x8 boards(15) 1x6 boards glued up for solid panels according to the plans OR (2) sheets 3/4" plywood(1) 4x8 sheet 1/4" plywood(1) pair 12" drawer slides: amzn.to/3Aor0jT(2) pair frameless full overlay concealed hinges: amzn.to/3CAWiXGShelf Pins: amzn.to/3e3rtNN3/8" diameter x 1 1/2" wood dowels (optional): amzn.to/3K2FaLiWood Glue: amzn.to/34NCtuvSuper Glue for Plexiglass: amzn.to/3pLJfLp1 ¼″ pocket hole screws: amzn.to/3FKfikk2 1/2" pocket hole screws (optional): amzn.to/3rMY5Bl2" wood screws (OR Z clips/Figure 8 clips to attach base to cabinet): amzn.to/3mfvGBKWood finish (as desired): amzn.to/3PNaFeo(2) sheets 1/8" (or less) 24" x 48" acrylic or plexiglass: amzn.to/3Tlpo3i00:00 Introduction01:03 Plans and Materials Used01:32 Glue Up Cabinet Panels02:34 The Back Panel Ordeal03:41 Drill Dowel Holes and Assemble Cabinet Box05:20 Swapping out the Back Panel06:27 Adding Drawer Shelf and Trim07:23 Assemble and Attach Base09:47 Build Door Frames11:15 Make Drawer Box12:04 Cut and Add Adjustable Shelves12:34 Install Plexiglass on Doors13:05 Add Doors to Cabinet13:35 Install Drawer14:42 Conclusion

DIY Bathroom Remodel Installing the Shower and Vanity Shara Woodshop Diaries 2022-05-14 | A few weeks ago, I told you that I was remodeling our bathroom and today I'm excited to share a large portion of the work I've been doing in here!I shared the bathroom vanity build here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-bathroom-vanity-double-sinkAnd I shared how I transformed the corner closet into open shelves here: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-turn-a-closet-into-built-in-shelvesBut today I'm sharing how we transformed our existing walk in shower into a new, modern shower with a bench seat and full length shelf. Plus, I'm also continuing the vanity project by sharing how we installed the top and the sinks with help from our video sponsor, DAP Products.Now, I know you may be wondering why we replaced our large tile shower...and while it LOOKED fine at quick glance, there were a lot of issues that needed to be addressed--like incorrect floor sloping, cracked and missing tiles, rust stains from galvanized pipe, and some large gaps that were never caulked around the top.Ultimately, we decided that we'd prefer to just start from scratch and actually make this shower smaller to keep things easier to clean and maintain. A lot of hard work went into this project, so I wanted to make sure it was properly protected. I used DAP Advanced Modified Polymer (AMP) Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing Sealant to finish up the shower and provide a 100% waterproof seal.I hope you enjoy watching this shower build come to life!Grab more project details on the shower here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-shower-remodel-modern-walk-inThen, I'll show you how we used DAP DynaGrip Mirror, Marble, and Granite to install the new granite top and ceramic sinks into the vanity I built several weeks ago! NOTE: Some manufacturer's also recommend using clips/brackets in addition to adhesive to install tops/sinks so check manufacturer's instructions before installing your own.This bathroom is really starting to come together, and I'm ready to soon share the full reveal (and some built ins!) so stay tuned!A lot of research went into this project, so before starting your own tiling or shower project, I encourage you to research what's best for your application.Check out the Schluter System waterproofing options on their website here: schluter.com/schluter-us/en_USFollow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram: instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comAffiliate links below.Tools and Materials used/seen in the video:Tools:Demolition tools--hammer, prybar, etc.Tile Saw: homedepot.sjv.io/ZdzabQDrill/DriverTrowel(s)Grout FloatGrout SpongeMaterials:Shower Pan: homedepot.sjv.io/A79EJCement BoardWaterproofing (I used Schluter Systems, but there are other options)Thinset/Mortar (do your research on what type you need for your own application(s) )Slate 4x12 tiles: homedepot.sjv.io/AoQ6LxSlate 16 x 16 tiles: homedepot.sjv.io/n1vd9oSubway 4x12 tiles: homedepot.sjv.io/ZdzWPQGroutDAP AMP Kitchen, Bath, Plumbing sealant: http://bit.ly/3MeNzfuDAP DynaGrip Mirror, Marble, Granite Construction Adhesive: http://bit.ly/3L2ARiPTile sealer: homedepot.sjv.io/yRvNnvShower curtain: amzn.to/3Fk5aAhShower Faucet: homedepot.sjv.io/7mVgWrShower Rug: amzn.to/3KLk8jH
How to Turn a Closet Into Built In Open Shelves Shara Woodshop Diaries 2022-04-23 | I've been hard at work with our bathroom remodel and while most of it is still in pieces, I did manage to put something together this week to share with you!When we originally decided to remodel our bathroom, I had wanted to tear out this closet completely. We didn't need the storage space and I didn't like the boring, basic closet here.However, since the ceiling was textured, tearing out these walls would have involved patching and trying to match the texture and it was more hassle than it was worth. So, instead of removing it, I decided to keep the existing structure and just rework it into something a little more...custom.I turned the basic closet into some built in open shelves perfect for storing towels, toiletries, or just adding some simple decor to our new bathroom.You can check out the full tutorial on the blog here:woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-turn-a-closet-into-built-in-shelvesI'll have plenty more projects to share throughout this remodel, so be sure to follow along so you can see all the progress!Follow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram: instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comHow to cut plywood using a circular saw: woodshopdiaries.com/cut-down-plywood-sheets-with-circular-sawHow to apply iron on edge banding: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-cover-plywood-edgesHow to use a pocket hole jig: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-use-pocket-hole-jig*Affiliate Links BelowTools & MaterialsTools:Circular saw: homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYxCutting Guides (optional): amzn.to/325pRR6Miter saw (optional): homedepot.sjv.io/yd96vPocket hole jig: amzn.to/32eoPBYDrill/Driver: homedepot.sjv.io/Aoo6YaShelf Pin Jig (optional): amzn.to/3FbgZaZDrywall finishing tools (to patch drywall if needed)Nail Gun (to attach/replace baseboard): http://homedepot.sjv.io/c/1404662/1169744/8154Materials:3/4" plywood: homedepot.sjv.io/9rR952x4 scrap (roughly the length of your closet width)Small piece of drywall for patching3/4" Iron on edge banding & 1 1/2" iron on edge banding (optional): amzn.to/3q7dI6f & amzn.to/3FNI4AzShelf Pins: amzn.to/3e3rtNN1 1/4" pocket hole screws: amzn.to/3FKfikk2 1/2" wood screwsDrywall ScrewsDrywall tape/spackling for patchingWood finish as desired

Workshop Updates: DIY Large Wooden Sign & Wood Plank Shop Wall Shara Woodshop Diaries 2021-12-11 | Hey friends! While I'm working on a new (amazing!) project to share, I wanted to give you an update on two projects I recently completed in my workshop.One is a massive new wooden logo sign for my back shop wall. And the other is a SUPER EASY wood plank shop wall I can use for staging and backdrops for photos.Both projects were made using the same wood planks. PureBond Plywood sent me a few boxes to try out and these are really easy to use for a wall or just to tack onto the side of a cabinet, to use to dress up a door, or to use (like I did here) to make a barn wood style wood sign.The shop is 99% complete at this point and I hope you enjoy watching these finishing touches come together in this video.Follow Woodshop Diaries On:Website: woodshopdiaries.comTikTok: tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?Facebook: facebook.com/woodshopdiariesInstagram:instagram.com/woodshopdiariesPinterest: pinterest.com/sharamccuistonSHOP NEW WOODWORKING TEES AND BUILDING PLANS HERE: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.comNew workshop video: youtu.be/tiXnjUhEFSsDresser video showing how to make large stencils on Cricut Joy Machine: youtu.be/uGn8nhy8WbwHow to Cut plywood video: youtu.be/NPNZlXJ7XPcHow to Trim Windows and Doors: youtu.be/vdvyjhK2ERMTools and Materials*Affiliate links belowTools:Circular saw: homedepot.sjv.io/AooaYxCutting Guides: amzn.to/31WFr18Miter or jig saw--to cut planksStapler and/or nail gun: homedepot.sjv.io/n1PjD9Cricut Joy (or another stencil cutter): amzn.to/3yxv6oIMeasuring tapeMaterials:3/4" plywood panel (for back--can use scraps for this if desired)1x2 boards for framePureBond Wall Planks (or other planking option): homedepot.sjv.io/VygbdaSpray Paint (optional)Cricut Joy Vinyl & Transfer Tape: amzn.to/3oTmDsx & amzn.to/3pUH08fWood GlueStain (optional)
