It rather brings home how quickly time flies for me. You, along with other woodworkers on RU-vid, such as Matt Cremona, have young children who, for me, seem to have been born only very recently. You seem to have a budding cameraman there - it's always a wonderful moment when you discover how helpful your children can be.
Your solution to the need for extensions is great... based upon this I am now a new follower & am looking forward to more content. And, props to your 4yr old camera man!
A big huge HI from Kazakhstan, Joey. I have just finished binge-watching all your videos. To say I'm impressed is to say nothing at all. After finishing one of your videos I found myself frustrated having realized that there were no more of your videos that I hadn't watched. Absolutely love your work and your inspiring approach not only to what you do, but to life in general. Keep it up!
Happy New Year Joey - a wonderful 'commission' and so nice to team your skill with such nice materials. Looking very nice so far and those extensions really came out well. Looking forward to the next video installment... best, Mike
That must have felt good seeing the table coming together so well. LOve the base and the thickness of the top. Didn;t it jjst come alive when you were putting the finish on. Good stuff, thanks. Cheers, David
I love the design of this table, especially the profile of the legs. Very nice. Glad you've got a qualified cameraman there, too. Great job little man.
대단하십니다. 아주 잘 보고 있습니다. 다음에 기회가 되면 이런 테이블 꼭 한번 만들어 보고 싶네요~^^ You did really great job. I hope i'll make like that extending table later. That is why your video is helping me very well. Thank you~
Looking awesome, as usual. 👍🏽 Your son did an extraordinary job on the camera work, considering his age. 👌🏽 Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous 2020, mate.
Did not quite compute how big this table is until you put the top on and extended it, man it's looking damn fine and you found some beaut timber as well 👍👍👍👍
Loving the in depth series on this build. Quick question, when you're doing table tops do you make a point to have the grain running the same way on every board? I've gone for aesthetics in the past and have had tear out issues when planing on the glue lines. Thanks for all your videos, love them!
could've just been luck or that he changed direction. Personally, I'd have used a belt sander with a rough belt (if you have one) therefore you don't have to worry about the grain direction at all. However, a plane is brilliant when the grain direction is in favor. I'd use a plane if it was just one piece of timber.
As always great work and a very Happy New Year to you and your family. Is there a chance at some point you can do a video as to how you sharpen your planes and they always seem so crisp. Thank you 😊
...great stuff!...enjoy the easy way you explain things....one question...would you have stronger joining seams, on the two top end pieces, if you had used biscuits, (and 4 or 5 of them).instead of just 3 dowels in each seam?
So the strength from a well jointed pair of boards with adequate glue is very strong. The point of dowels,biscuits or dominoes is to help keep the tops of the boards in plan to maintain an even overall thickness of the glue up. Remember people have been gluing boards up for centuries with out dowels etc. It just makes life easier when flattening out the panel.
Hey Joey, I love the way your project is turning out. Fantastic job as usual. I have a question, I am getting ready to build a table myself for a client, and it has extensions also. My question is how much tolerance did you allow for the runner and the guide? Also, aew the washers to keep the runners from moving out of alignment? Thanks again, I love your channel.
So I made the tounge slide in the groove as tightly as possible but still being free enough to pull. Too much slop here will allow the extension to sag at full length. The washers hold each of the runners to the next so as the tounges don't full out of the grooves.
Can you link to the pad you use to apply finish? I tried one that looks similar to yours but all the "hairs/bristles" just kept flaking off into my finish. Great work by the way!
Mine are speed brush by Pal , although they have just changed their foam pad material and they don't last as long as they did. Make sure to wash them out before use as they have stray hairs on them for the factory.
Super job Joey you have a razor sharp hand plane mate. So many you see would put threw a drum sander for this i don;t know if you have one i;ve not seen one in any video
I did get a result around 0.1-0.2 mm on a very similar machine. The whole thing is about patience and getting there as slow as possible which is not really often opportunity if you get paid on hourly rate basis.
Hey what is that tool you use to apply the finish at the end of the video? I'm a timber framer and that thing would bet the hell out a brush for what I do.
this thing is so awesome! im just curious though - and this isnt meant as some sort of safety police drive by comment lol - but i notice you dont seem to wear a mask? i recently had some respiratory trouble after working with walnut and am crazy careful now. do you worry about the long term risks of dusts and VOCs?
walnut is really bittter, i wear mask with walnut too sometimes. all deppends on species/dust collection/your personal reaction to wood dust (varries per person)
It is starting to look really good. Did you do the design in Sketchup or something else, some tricky curves in those legs. Thanks, looking forward to the next vide.
Why would cutting the table top on a CNC take longer than doing it by hand, especially since you already have the pattern cut on the CNC? I thought you could walk away and leave the machine to do the work. Many thanks.
Unless you a doing bigger batches of things , one off cnc cuts can be very time consuming to set up compared to just plugging in a jig saw. 9 times out of 10 you definitely cant walk away from a cnc . There are so many settings etc that you hope have been set right, you need to be watching ready to hit stop.
Okay, I see where you are coming from. If you did CNC that expensive slab it would almost be worth doing a test on MDF to ensure settings are good. Cheers
