the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I was just looking for absolute-beginner level table building inspiration and this was the first video that caught my attention. Now everything else is going to look dull in comparison. Thanks for showing what's possible once you get a little more advanced, keep up the good work. Greeting from Germany
I have a dream that one day I'll make atleast one piece from your channel. Great designs and overall very smart approach. Dont dig and sell gold, sell the shovels.
Beautiful table! Before I purchase the plans, could you please advise if the plans cover this table up to 2800- 3000mm in length? Would there be enough support for the table top at this length with this design?
Great woodworking techniques and excellent design! And hilarious as well. Please add more time when using the simple finish. It's my favourite part! Greetings from Chile.
Yes, I bought Simple Finish and have made many test pieces on different wood. I’d like your opinion on woods that the finish does not work as well, and also those it does. I found Southern yellow pine, and eastern white pine not that satisfying. I’d love to hear your, or others, thoughts. Thanks. I love the table design. You guys get better all the time!
Ok ..... I could never figure out why I liked you guys so much.......humor, projects, skills,videography...........then there it was ........ just for a second.........the sweet yellow VW “Caddy” in the intro shot hauling wood in !!! Fellow Dub Head here .... hahaha. Love the content guys!!!!
Lovely work. Great aesthetic and not overly complex for the amateur. You said your jointer is 8" and not enough to handle the wide boards for the top. So, here's my question: after the panel glue up, how did you handle flattening the top? Router sled? Hand plane? Surfaced with the X-Carve? Thanx!
Thanks! If you are careful with board orientation, there really isn't much flattening needed for a panel of that size. Especially once it is attached to the base. This one came out pretty dang flat.
What do you think about using this style of base for a round table? May it be unstable? If I go for 1,2m in diameter and the top of the base around 1m That would be typically 800mm in the bottom? Sounds to narrow in the bottom for me. What do you think?
You guys must have great vision insurance. Seems like you both have a new pair of specs for each build. Love the build guys, keep it up. I bought the chair plans, I may pick up this one as well to help support what you guys do.
I've been drawing plans for a similar chair and was almost finished... I just bought your table and chair plan with templates. Not because I couldn't do it, but because your version is awesome and I want to support you. Fun stuff.
Great video great build as usual! That black and blue drill guide at the end, looks like the rockler guide?... can you provide a link for it please? Thank you!
here it is www.rockler.com/rockler-portable-drill-guide-with-vise?country=US&sid=V91040&promo=shopping&PL&gclid=CjwKCAjw47eFBhA9EiwAy8kzNOtk6GPWabjS5qfg-UwqfqIETW9E3R4FjYabq0dqlGGzkUZGCFONqBoCA4IQAvD_BwE
Excellent as always, I like to see the techniques used to accomplish the job. All is matters of details, that in end are shown in the final product. Guys you are great, with your joking in middle of the narrative.😄😄😄
I would have thought mounting the bottom stretcher slightly above the floor level (1/2 inch or so) would not affect strength, but allow for the table to be moved without the chance of dragging debris across a hardwood floor with resulting scratches. Perhaps even a gentle curve as you have used with good effect in other parts of this project.
If the table was on a hardwood floor, one woild assume there would some type of pad/s under the legs which would prevent scratches in it's own right and would also lift the table slightly to prevent the issues mentioned below.
You guys are the best of all the woodworkers. Love your style and the chill way you present your work. But seriously what's with this ultra murican title?
Did you consider a fastener or other support for the 2 stretchers? Is there enough strength alone at the end grain (and some side grain) glue joint for any racking strain in the future? Hmmmm.... Great look and build BTW!
You would have to have a dance party on top of the table to stress those joints enough to fail. But some sort of fastener could be used if you needed that extra security. Thanks for watching!
I love the look of the table, it looks very elegant (like just about everything you guys do). I can't help but think that if someone sits on the ends of the table all they will do is kick the legs the whole time.
Absolutely loved this. So one question: I presume you have the info how you got that wobble out of the desk, in the plan/training? I saw it was there during finish, but seemed to be taken care of after that. This is an absolutely fabulous build btw.
Hey guys ! Love the channel and all your videos. I am designing an building my first dining table with a slab top, and I was wondering if you actually needed the central stretcher linking the 2 legs as a structural portion, or if it is only for design. I wave seen people just attach legs with steel plates under tables and call it good. Any thoughts ?
Wow, what a great project, so clean, and what looks like simple classic lines and design. Execution as always, top notch. Now to get my wife to approve this and i can go buy the lumber.
I feel like by the time I work up to a level of comfort I would be able to furnish my whole place with pieces from y’all. Love it, great table and work as always.
I just finished building this table. The recipient absolutely LOVES it! I built it to be 72x33, in walnut. If you're wondering whether you should attempt it, do so! The plans are well drawn and the videos make it SUPER simple. Can't wait to build it again.
What’s that drill press you’re using at 14:00 ? Tried to see the brand but couldn’t. Looks more stable and accurate than all the other ones I’ve seen so far.
It works great! Full disclosure: Rockler does send us tools, and this was one of them. But if you need to do a lot of precise drilling on areas where you can't reach with a drill press, it certainly does the job well.
Wow, another great looking table and video! Really like your ingenuity in making a jig to solve different obstacles, very creative. Always an enjoyable addition with the bits of humor you include, makes me smile :^)
I love these videos and your beautiful designs. Combining quality craft, great humor and stunning production. The best of the best. Now, could COVID-19 go away so I can jump a plane from Denmark and participate in your workshop classes. 😍👏
Noob question : why wood planks are used for table top and why not ply with laminate on it or ply with vennear and polish? Can you site some specific reason.
Also you dont mention it, but with a solid wood table top, it will expand and contract in width, how will this work with the threaded inserts you used which seem to not use a racetrack movement mounting hole? Or perhaps you only mount the top to the center stretcher in which case there will be no expansion movement but there is the chance the top may warp since it is not supported outwards from the center?
The holes in the base are drilled oversize and placed out near the legs and down the center stretcher. The bolts and washers allow the table top to expand and contract.
Great video Keith. So how is the MFT table shaping up? I saw you did a follow up video but when I went to watch it had been deleted. Is it available on your Patreon channel?
Awesome build, I really like the design, great video. Where do you guys source your double sided tape? I can't find thin double sided tape like that. You guys make some great videos, I always look forward to them.
