Just found your channel and this was my first video I've watched of yours, and I subscribed in the first 30 seconds. You seem like an interesting dude and I'm a sucker for all things shop-wise, maker spaces, and nerdy shit. High five man!

[wmwalkerco]

Really digging this style. You should keep it funny and different for your closing catch phrase each time.

Great video, well presented and just what I was searching for.

Thank you

So I said in my last comment about a small detail, or idea could help someone’s next project. My search on Sunday would show “table top button” almost ironic. Ended up making a button with my domino in both the work piece and the button. I applied a domino and glued it into the workpiece to be the “button”, which seemed to work well. I only say all of this to reconfirm your direction to move towards more frequent, small videos - they will be helpful. Keep it up and have a great weekend, bud.

loving these shorter videos, great content. You should do a shop tour/how you got into woodworking video sometime.

ha ha! thanks for that. i've watched you make buttons before but never realized they were plywood. keep 'em coming!

[Slovenianwoodworker]

This can be done in any shop. Easy to make and verry effective. I use them all the time specially with wooden tops. With proper placing they respect wood movement and holding down the top. Good job.

Bruhhh this is exactly what I needed. My round walnut top is just sitting on the base because I was sure that just drilling through the apron wasn't ideal. LOL, thanks Shaun!

[kevinhubert]

Love it man, watching your videos is like hanging with a friend in the shop

Using buttons right now on a farmhouse table. I used reclaimed barn wood for the table but i wasn’t comfortable with the strength of the wood for the buttons. So I cut out some maple buttons for connecting tabletop.

Like I always say "why buy when u can DIY!" GOOD TIP SHAUN!

[cjwilson]

It still does not cease to amaze me that someone with your level of skill and craftsmanship can explain and demonstrate these techniques in such an easy to comprehend way. Bravo sir.

[TeamProsperity]

Thanks Shaun, nice instructional video.

Great tip in the works of doing my first table soon and this was topic I needed to

[TheWoodPastor]

Good stuff man! Just found your channel recently. Love the idea of buttons versus z clips. Just another piece made by the maker.

[patrickhcummings]

Sweet! Just what I needed! Can't run to the hardware store for z-clips while COVID19 has everyone on lock down.

[ziggydog]

Love it. Great way to make buttons. Will definately give these a go. Great vids well presented and explained.

[gmor]

We’ve gotta work on that outro, but you’re awesome anyway! Thanks for explaining the button thing!

[markschofield]

Best outro yet, I did a big lol, cheers
