Hey! My name's Kevin, and this is my channel where I show all the DIY projects I'm working on. I'm no pro, but I really enjoy the challenge of figuring out interesting, super simple, low budget ways to make/build these projects, and then share as much detail as I can to help you out.
I usually focus on:
- cool, low budget, renovation projects for our funky, modern barn house (plywood floors, aircraft cable railings, concrete counter tops, etc)
- simple project builds using basic tools and reclaimed/found wood (pallet & reclaimed wood projects, tables, shelves, decor, art, etc)
- simple, low cost tips & tricks (homemade wood stain, diy chalk paint, stud finding, aging/distressing wood, painting tricks, etc)
- transforming beat up Craigslist/thrift store furniture into awesome pieces again and flipping them back on Craigslist for a profit!
Have a question, project idea, or ad/sponsor inquiry?
Send me an email or drop a comment, and I'll get back with you.

How to Stain Wood with Fabric Dye!
Просмотров 213 тыс.6 лет назад
Let me show you a simple way to stain wood with colored fabric dye! There's a wide range of colors you can choose from (and unlimited custom mixed options) and you can even thin it down for lighter and darker shades. From what I understand, it could possibly fade under lots of sunlight, so keep that in mind. You should be able to protect it with a wide range of clear top coats as well (poly, la...

Check out the makeover I just finished on the first piece of furniture I ever made. I build a coffee table for my wife about 9 years ago, and we used it up until about 2 years ago when we got tired of it.

Video starts: “Use a magnet.” Demonstrates briefly. Video ends. 10 second video.
Use vinegar on your old worn out files and you'll get the same byproduct, but you'll also etch the files giving them a 2nd life. If you want to reverse the rust and stabilize it on some tools, use a mixture of tannic acid like tea or ground up oak bark/acorns to soak your red rusted tools in to convert it to black iron oxide, which looks better and is more stable, then coat with WD-40 after rinsing in clean water to prevent future rust.
I did Pennies white vinegar and white vinegar and it turns bright red
Stretch a rubber band from bottom across top of your paint container to wipe your paint brush on and the paint container will stay clean. Great quick to the point video thank you for sharing
Honestly all my questions got answered I literally was just going to hang something in my bathroom to help my shampoos and all that stuff and every information you gave me was great thank you very much I'm very new at handy dandy stuff I am a woman so I am learning how to grip a heavy-duty tools so thanks 😊 your video helped me very much
Horrible idea I cut my finger trying drill into the blade n had to get 8 stitches thanks a lot!!
I had engineered oak planks in my kitchen and it held up fine with two adults, four kids and two dogs.
Great vid! Thanks.
This is a graet cheap start. You can prime and put microcement over it which is the permenant producr dor this use. Its a twp part used on pools.
If you miter the corners of the plywood its less likely to cause that expansion crack.
Omg this saved my project!!!🎉 thank you!
Impressive!
I could not tell which boards you cut the 10-degree angle. Is it side 2 or the bottom?
Thank you omg
Hi there! Can you tell me how your rocks are holding up please? Do you have trouble keeping it weed free? I’m about to undertake a big project and I like how you did yours.
I have a stipple ceiling and couldn't get a reliable reading but measurements and the finder got me close enough to use strong magnets. Thankyou for the reminder about magnets.

Nice. Exactly the build I wanted to do. Simple. Straightforward. Effective. Low cost. Aesthetically pleasing. What more could I ask for?
Will this last 10000 years?
Some say to lubricate the glass cut line with an oil film or the cutter before scribing the line?
what about plaster? I have an old house
how did these hold up?
Trying this on my car. Reply for info on how it goes.
Adorable!
I wonder if this shortens the lifespan of the material?
what a great idea. remember to wear gloves when handling RIT dye
THE TRUNK (C)2006
Leather dye works awesome too. Angelus is a great brand.
What is under the glass? Clean cardboard a good base?
How do we know if it’s not an electrical wire?
Yeah but not everyone wants to hang something near a power point stud
10/10 on texture and awesomeness .. but might want to figure out your lengths. :) edge is a bit wonk. But awesome stuff bruh.
Looks like you did not fill in the gaps; looks good. I just put in planks I made from birch plywood but have not put a top coat on and I have slight gaps. Do i just put the top coat on and don't worry about the gaps?
Just go straight to the point. Too much talk
"Thoroughly cover your piece"
You reversed the drill or you got on the other side of the table? What part of this video shows the wood looks aged?
Any ideas of how to make a dark walnut or Kona type color distressed look from white painted panel doors?
love it! Thanks for posting!
Thank you
It's amazing how super high tech stud finders are sold at $30, $50 if not more. The simple trick in this video is so simple, that it's almost mind-blowing insane. Thanks for the upload.
Is it bad to have a cordless hammer drill constantly turning for this type of job?
For all circular pieces like those feet, I like to chuck them up on a hand drill or drill press.
Don’t tell show wasted my time
What type of wood did you used for this ??
Excellent, thank you 😊!
Too much talking
Simplest striping for scrap is crushing. Size doesn’t matter in most cases.
Toungue & groove? You glued & nailed?
U should of shown us what it looked like after lacquer is put on afters
In rust we trust.
