About this episode

The episode discusses the process of building a custom two-tone nightstand with specific design features for a client.

How I built a white oak mid-century modern nightstand with a waterfall grain case, two-tone finish, and built-in charging outlet. Plus the joinery and finishing decisions I made along the way, all for a client in Colorado Springs who wanted a custom nightstand.
