The video is part of the "Tiny Apartment" series, where the creator is building a sofa from scratch with a custom design that fits the unique shape of their apartment. They use 18mm Baltic birch plywood and a combination of loose tenons and pocket holes for the joints. The creator also makes a template for the wall angle and uses it to cut the pieces for the sofa's armrest.
The video also covers the process of making the cushions, including cutting and sewing the fabric, inserting the foam, and attaching the zipper. The creator uses a sewing machine and a zipper foot to sew the zipper to the cover.
Additionally, the video shows the process of building five drawers, including two with a trapezoidal shape to match the apartment's angled wall. The creator uses pre-finished birch plywood and attaches the slides to the drawers in a way that allows them to work together despite the non-parallel sides.
Finally, the creator attaches the false fronts to the drawer boxes using double-sided tape and screws, and adds a finish to the entire piece. The video is long, but the creator hopes it's worth it for those interested in building a similar sofa and drawers.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The project is building a sofa from scratch for a tiny apartment.
2. The sofa is designed to be space-efficient and have a clean look.
3. The builder used 18mm Baltic birch plywood for the project.
4. The jointer method used was loose Tenons in conjunction with pocket holes.
5. Other methods for joining the pieces, such as pocket holes, dowels, or screws, could also be used.
6. The builder used a track saw to make most of the cuts, but a circular saw with a straightedge would also work.
7. The sofa has a trapezoidal shape to fit the angled wall of the apartment.
8. The builder made a template to help figure out the angles of the top piece of the arm.
9. The angle of the top piece of the arm was 13 degrees or 77 degrees (subtracting from 90).
10. The builder used a higher density foam for the sitting cushions and a lower density foam for the back cushion.
11. The cushions have a trapezoidal shape to match the sofa's design.
12. The builder used a zipper closure for the cushions.
13. The drawers were made from prefinished birch plywood.
14. The drawers have a trapezoidal shape to match the spacing near the angled wall of the apartment.
15. The builder used a 13-degree angle cut for the drawers.
16. The bottoms of the drawers are pre-thin, so the builder had to cut the tip of some screws.
17. The builder used a regular screw to create threads on the plywood, then installed the screw without the tip.
18. The drawer fronts were made from the same birch plywood as the sofa and Murphy bed.
19. The builder carved the handle cutouts with an X-Acto knife.
20. The handles were made to be offset from the center to make it easier to open the drawers when the sofa is flipped over.
21. The builder used spongy double-sided tape to attach the false fronts to the drawer boxes.
22. The builder used screws to permanently attach the false fronts to the drawer boxes.
