  1. i love how you included the times like when you smacked your shin, or tripped over the board, makes you seem more human

  2. Next time Eden introduces herself as Morley, she needs to be wearing a Morley-fro wig. It would have been funnier that way.

  3. "It's only upside down if you know which way is right-side up" is the kind of wisdom that I need in my life. I kinda want a shirt now.

  4. Eden is always fun and learning woodworking together is great! Good problem solving on improving the designs.

  5. to help things not move when gluing together, sprinkle a small amount of salt on the glue. Not a lot, but a few grains will help keep the pieces together while you screw or nail the boards together.

  6. Pretty sweet creation you guys๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿชš๐Ÿช›๐Ÿ“next up…I vote pallet furniture

  7. Liked, shared and commenting. When u finish 2gether. Lol. And Iโ€™ll guess 3 outfits. Great vid people.

  8. Awesome video, looks like you two are going to have a fun life together ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Great Job!!! How I wish I had a Girlfriend like Her too! More Power and More Project Morley!!!

  10. Well done Eden! Pocket holes were a great choice for a first proper project. The slight flaws in the plans were actually good to, no build ever goes exactly right so seeing how to easily overcome the shortfalls was a valuable lesson too. I've tried to get the Mrs interested in building something together, no dice so far, maybe one day.

  11. I remember those days and working on projects together. Then it turns into โ€œI said a hammer and you bring a screw driver?โ€ Thatโ€™s when you have kids and you have the kids help. And yes, I had to use the screw driver as a hammer while my little watched and says I need a bigger heavier screw driver. Like the bed. Watch those shins!

  12. I don't usually comment but just wanted to say that you both have such great energy together and on camera. This was a lot of fun to watch!

  13. Iโ€™ve been inside all day due to my health conditions and I wanted to do something other then lay in my bed (i had done wood working for a few semesters a year prior and Iโ€™m interested in flipping houses when Iโ€™m older) and I stumbled along a video of you flipping a pallet into a table and decided that Iโ€™d try to do some woodworking (with my dads cheap tools) fast forward like 2 months I bought a few new things and Iโ€™m planning on selling longboards with 3D printed parts and wood that my dad chops up for firewood thank you Morley

  14. Nice to see you getting the other half involved. See you have the same problem no matter what your doing the cat has to get involved. I was finishing table last night took mr 25 minutes because the cat was chasing my hand and my rag I was using!๐Ÿค”๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‘
