Thank you for NOT editing out your mistakes (forgot metal rod) so us regular folks don’t feel so dumb. Nice to know you’re human.
-
The "Oh, I forgot the Rod" look is priceless. Good to know you are human. Great Job again Spencer.
-
Any lifelong carpenter knows EXACTLY what AGHHH means , great video as usual. Thanks for all the awesome insight and knowledge you have Mr. Lewis!
-
Loved the use of the board to temporarily tweak the walls back a hair. Couple seconds of video worth years of trade school. Awesome video
-
I mean good people are hard to find but seems like you would be a good teacher
-
Awesome channel. Thanks for avoiding the clickbait and unnecessary extra video length that a lot of other finish carpenters are doing.
-
It’s not how you mess up it’s how you fix it that matters!! Also love the spreader board!!
-
Damn!! Apart from the slick workmanship, you also show the struggle. So I can know what to do when in the same position. Cool video!!
-
Pro tip with the rounding of the shelf… I would’ve done the cleat, but probably would not have thought of doing the shelf… at least not on the first one… Great job… (and the glue on the finger commet was savage)
-
I am so glad you put in the fact you forgot the rod. Seriously, for me I always feel like crap like that happens only to me. Great job and love the channel!
-
Everyone wants floating shelves and have no idea of what's involved to do it right. Awesome tips. The threaded rod with PL is a great addition to keep the shelves straight. Thanks again!
-
I appreciate you not only sharing your immense experience with us, but all the difficult moments you run into as well that so many of us DIY'rs can relate to. So many videos on here show near perfect execution from start to finish and it can be a little disheartening to us dimwits.

I was a custom cabinet maker/millworker for over 30 years. A lot of my kitchens, libraries, built ins, architectural millwork etc. are in multi million dollar homes a long the gold coast. It's laughable how many self proclaimed experts who are nothing more than rank amateurs at best are on youtube. Based on this one video, it's refreshing to see a guy who actually knows what he is talking about, the real deal. Nice work!
-
Great job Spencer! I love your tread jig that you use to get precise lengths on wall to wall fits. I am a retired cabinetmaker but I always learn new tricks watching you. Please keep sharing your videos with us!!
-
You are an amazing Carpenter and easily the best on YouTube. Am learning a bunch from you. I have been in the finish trades for over 30 years. 😁
-
As a begining carpenter/woodworker at age 60, I can use all the simply explained tips, tricks and fully explained instructions I can get. Great job. Thank you.
-
That trick with the "spreader" is going to work with me tomorrow, I'll be installing floating shelves.
-
I loved that you showed you forgot the rod,your human ,kudos ,great job sir .
-
Lol the sequence at the end let us know you’re one of us. 😂 the sigh of let’s go home
-
I’ve got that same FSTOOL XL4000 blade on my DeWalt as well. It has really made things consistent. Thank you so much for the videos! The bit at the end where you forgot the rod in that last shelf… I literally said, “thank goodness… It’s not just me!“. You totally didn’t have to add that in but I’m glad you did.
