This Detail Separates Amateur vs. Pro Furniture

What's the difference between a $400 and a $500 piece of furniture? Often, it's one single detail that tells a story of true craftsmanship. This is that detail.
In this video, I'm building a set of modern nightstands to show you how to master the "waterfall miter"—a technique that creates a stunning continuous grain effect around a corner. This is the secret to turning a simple box into a high-end, premium piece that clients and customers will value.
You'll learn:
The "1-Board Method" for creating a perfect waterfall grain effect.
How to resaw and "bookmatch" a panel for stunning, symmetrical grain.
The keys to cutting flawless miters on a table saw sled.
My foolproof "card trick" for installing inset drawer fronts with perfect, even gaps.
And most importantly: how to recover from a major measurement mistake that almost ruined the entire project.
This build wasn't perfect, and that's the point. I want to show you the real process of woodworking—the mistakes, the recovery, and the perseverance it takes to achieve a professional result. This is the secret to the "$100 Corner."
