How I make my custom wood bases | DIY Mid Century wood base design

In this video, I'll show you how I created this one of a kind Mid Century style wood base. Building bases is one of the most satisfying and rewarding parts of creating furniture for me. You can add a base to existing furniture or ones that you have built from scratch. I hope you find this video inspiring and that it makes you want to build your own! ****EDIT: MINUTE 6:33 DON’T do a cross cut like how I was doing in the video. It is extremely dangerous because the board can get pinched and you could lose a finger or two. You will need to use a sled if you want to do that on the table saw. Or you can use your miter saw or a circular saw with a rafter square. Thank you all for sharing your concerns with me! 🤎
