My mom recently requested I build her a sofa table since everything she found was either too big or too small. Her size requires were 30" High, 14" Deep, and 46" Wide. As long as I hit those dimensions she didn't care what the table looked like. I took this as a fun opportunity to design on the fly, experimenting with some 'new to me' ideas and tapping into my creative side. Like any project that ventures into weird art, I fully expect some folks to not like it. Heck, I'm not even sure I totally like it. But it did allow me to explore some new ideas and test the limits of this construction method, which could be inherently problematic. Who knows, maybe I'll start a new line of "exploded" furniture! Or not. But hey, it was a blast to build!
I'd like to thank all of the folks on Instagram who contributed ideas during this build process. I'd also like to thank the folks who mentioned that the piece looked like an exploded diagram, as that helped me establish the overall theme for the project. Because of the design on the fly nature of this project, there is no plan.

Love it! Super cool design, Marc. Really dig it, and that finish looks choice!

@skeletonpenis 5 лет назад

i started to watch your videos years ago, I always had to catch my self saying in my head 'that's not how I was taught to do it' but I always love the end result. Now after years into my woodworking career I still have the same thoughts, but now also think 'lets see how this plays out' thank you, I've learned a lot more thinking this way.

@Trully1949 2 года назад

Beautiful table. I love the combination of materials you used. When describing what you’re gonna do for somebody, be it for your mother or a client, they will never understand until they see the finished product.

@BearsAtticWoodshop 6 лет назад

Great build Marc!! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to be more creative and just run with it some times.

@stevejensen3471 10 месяцев назад

Nice build and surprisingly similar to a few I've done for past clients. One thing I always do on sofa tables (because my clients prefer it) is a lower shelf as it adds additional display surface area to the piece and stabilizes the lower end of the legs to prevent racking. I do 45-degree dadoes on the inside of the legs to match the corresponding 45's on the shelf corners and folks can't figure out how the shelf fits. Kreg screw from the bottom and glue the joints. Rock solid.

I really liked to see you out of your comfort zone with this project. Outstanding craftsmanship as always. Looks great!

@OneManBandWoodworks 6 лет назад

I love your work mate and your video style. You can make classic/modern furniture that doesn’t look like grandma furniture, your take on design is probably my favourite and where I take a great deal of my inspiration from.

@PeterEss 6 лет назад

On this “explosive” new episode of The Wood Whisperer... Looks great, Marc. Really liking the design and your solutions to some of the unique challenges on this one!

@greatitbroke 6 лет назад

Beautiful table Marc. I love the finish the design everything. Beautiful experiment gone perfect.

@Ragewolf2008 6 лет назад

Great looking table, that design is awesome. An inspiration for sure.

@dwellerproductions6489 6 лет назад

Love it. Beautiful piece of fine furniture. The way you floated the top and how you you put the top together makes it stand out from your typical glued up top. I think it adds character to the piece. I love that finish as well. I think it brings out the beauty of the Walnut without detracting from it like a gloss can sometimes do.

@aaronchinault9513 6 лет назад

Looks great Marc, I love the adventurous use of new techniques/metal bits! Good to see you putting out videos again, thanks for not quitting! ;)

@atlas227428 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing and yes i enjoyed your "On the fly" experimentation. As a newbie I feel I do this more than i likely should as i have yet learned how to use sketchup. Been holding off on it as i have already been stumped trying to follow a books recommendations and falling short of what i should have gotten during an initial exercise in setting it up. Thanks again !

@JonnyBuilds 6 лет назад

Its funky & unique, and I love it! I always learn so much when watching your videos. Thanks!

@sakesan13 6 лет назад

Welcome back! Great to see you posting some content again. :P

@sambojobo 3 года назад

I learned a TON of information on this build. Thank you for sharing.

@raymondbradford1642 6 лет назад

@terryholdredge6393 6 лет назад

Elegance in design and execution... bravo!

@mzh22003 6 лет назад

Wow... every time I watch any clip of yours, I learn something new... thank u all your efforts and uploading for others...

@travisstotz9197 6 лет назад

I love it. Think it turned out beautiful the leg profiles make it. Also nice to see a nice simple jig thrown together in real time and used effectively. So many times you see jigs where it must have taken an entire morning to make...I want to make furniture not jigs, as sweet as they are. Amazing as usual

@LeosVideos 6 лет назад

Brother! Thank you for that video. I did learn some new things as I have only been woodworking for about 2 years now. I really like the way you do your videos as you didn't waste time yet explained each step so that we can understand and learn. Love the table.

@carmandr24 6 лет назад

Very cool project! Creative piece and looks amazing. Keep up the awesome work Mark!

@cherkruger1166 6 лет назад

@timcombes9054 6 лет назад

Great "thing" Mark - I just picked up you book and I have really enjoyed it thus far. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge

@TheWoodKnight 6 лет назад

Love the legs - they remind me of Olympic torches, the Sydney 2000 ones in particular.

@jamartin1 6 лет назад

I love it thanks for sharing! Very inspiring for me!

@OneManBandWoodworks 6 лет назад

Beautiful. Love that finish

@cameronbarksdale7631 6 лет назад

Looks awesome Marc 👏. I love the design.

@blaccayman5233 5 лет назад

As a graphic designer, this looks great and balanced with the pins. As a DIY, i’m definitely inspired to try this myself. Glad i stumbled onto yr channel.

@josephkerley363 6 лет назад

Very nice. I enjoy concept to end product on the fly. I work that way quite a lot. It leaves more room for creativity and, as you said, room to bob and weave.

@olivepressdesign 6 лет назад

Amazing Marc. Love the metal dowels. You’ve come a long way baby.

@mikegilyeat3213 2 года назад

Beautiful, unique piece Marc.

@jakecarter2414 6 лет назад

First class, great design.

@kurt6885 6 лет назад

Love it!.... great concept, great design, great execution.

@danthemakerman 6 лет назад

When I made my exploded view bench I had to use "L" brackets to add extra support for the connection between the legs and bench top. Afterwards I thought about welding up some "L" shaped dowels to go in the corners instead of using two individual dowels. Nice build I think the look will grow on you.

@EA-fh2ul 5 лет назад

I'm not a native English speaker, and not a woodworker by any extent, but there I am, watching video after video of different woodworking designs, googling every other word and still understanding only a fracture of what is said, but dang it's so satisfying to watch. Walnut is so beautiful. These legs are so modern-y and pretty. My favourite part is when you round/smooth the legs with scraper.

@bighands69 5 лет назад

Your text is an excellent level of english.

@EA-fh2ul 5 лет назад

@@bighands69 haha thanks! But it doesn't mean I can understand what planer or a chisel is without googling... It also doesn't help that some of those words are not self-explanatory in my native language either, like 'planer' translates roughly to 'reissmuss machine' (with German origin) so it really doesn't help, taking into account I've never seen those machines in real life. Nonetheless, videos are very good!

@donaldguilbault7433 6 лет назад

Really cool design, I like trying to 'engineer' things like you did with the steel dowels. Looks great and I'm sure your Mom will love it.

@Almost_Baked 6 лет назад

@ThiagoLeal 6 лет назад

AWESOME design!

@Thom4123 6 лет назад

Awesome video and table. I love the different techniques you experimented with the legs being my favorite they came out so different yet elegant lines and the steel pins and how and why you used them very nice. Not that you really noticed but it seemed as you were much more relaxed or because it was for fun you had a great energy just coming back with working with Darrell Peart. This was an awesome idea and came out so sweet!! Oh ya gotta love the doggy break lol that Dougie is a big ham on camera.

@tufankilinc636 6 лет назад

@jonathanmoore467 6 лет назад

Love the design and attention to detail Marc! I also use the old "sit and stare" method when I'm not sure exactly which direction I want to go. 😶

@stumptownwoodworks 6 лет назад

Pajama boss...nice. great project, really love seeing some insight into your creative process. Really enjoyed following along on IG as well.

@WayneBrownWoodworking 6 лет назад

I have to admit, I didn’t get it while you posted to Instagram. After watching the build video, and listening to your thought process, I not only get it but love the piece. Nicely done Marc

@dalejones4186 6 лет назад

Great job. Thanks for the lesson and work on the videos. I also enjoyed one of your mentors David Marks. You can see a lot of him in the work you do and how you teach. Thanks for being you.
