Drop your best woodworking joke

@MorleyKert Год назад

Pinning this so I finally have some jokes to tell Eden when she asks for them

@owensmith984 Год назад

His prices

@MorleyKert Год назад

From Eden: “I have some good ones but I don’t want to crack you up”

@expatmoose Год назад

I was going to make a joke about carpentry, but I don’t know any that wood work 😮😂

@Sir_greatness Год назад

Why did the wooden table go to therapy? Because it had some serious knots!

@DanielMargheim Год назад

This is absolutely one of your best pieces of furniture! It turned out so great! The crescent base was a stroke of genius.

@MorleyKert Год назад

Thank you so much!

@sprN0VA Год назад

This table turned out great! While I love how it looks, what I really love is how kind and giving the woodworking community is. Seriously, if you're nice to people, they'll gladly help you out and be nice in return. Great video as always!

@MorleyKert Год назад

David is so generous! Thanks for watching

@CountYulith 10 месяцев назад

This was a great video. Especially loved the open discussion about trying to sell it, shipping logistics, and the cost break down. All that is SUPER valuable to any aspiring wood workers. I subscribed after just seeing this video alone and look forward to watching more of your videos.

@MorleyKert 10 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@L337f33t Год назад

Morley that wood may have been free but your hard work is priceless! Plus you make a video too!

@MorleyKert Год назад

Thank you!

@JulienB_BTW Год назад

You might want to check that moisture meter for accuracy. 1 to 3 % seems highly unlikely, especially in Canada.

@lovrorozmanc2935 8 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing. Air dried wood has around 15 % of moisture in it.

@nnamerz 10 дней назад

I also thought the numbers seemed really low

@Mistoner1023 Месяц назад

Marley I can’t express myself enough when I say how much joy u and Edith and the clan bring to my life I wish you soo much good and happiness in your life

@quasimodoo17 Месяц назад

His name is Morley and her name is Eden!!

@WestCoastMods Год назад

The top turned out pretty nice, but NOT a fan of the base....LTo me it looks cheap. Would have looked so much better with a more artistic base and made from natural hardwood. Just my 2 cents

@Hello-oe7wg Год назад

same it looks ugly as hell

@slickfawn4579 10 месяцев назад

i’ve watched like 10 of these videos in a row now. i love his work . but the hardware is always so bland

@thejameslealartco.7625 9 месяцев назад

I disagree. The star of the piece is the the top. If he made an artistic base it could potentially distract from the beauty of the top.

@that_simple_dad 7 месяцев назад

He still has buyers. He’s doing this primarily for the profit, so I don’t think he’s concerned if a few people here and there think it looks cheap. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Lol. My 2 cents as well.

@quantum9964 Месяц назад

Agreed, it looks like cheap plastic

@BrandonSiem 8 месяцев назад

Your the best. Every time I search for ideas I seem to stop on one of your projects and am left amazed

@AntonioWood-mv7kp 3 месяца назад

Beautifully done !

@JK-zl7vv 6 месяцев назад

One thing you can do to help protect your art pieces is to place a plastic bad in areas around your piece, then fill the bags with spray foam, and close it up, when the spray foam dries, it fills in the gap areas to keep your piece from moving around and getting damaged.

@anniemorrison1250 8 месяцев назад

I love Penny. She and my 17 lb. black cat, Riley would make a purrfect pair. LOL The table looks so great. Good work. You are a master!

@tatyboy1337 Год назад

I like this one a lot, seems like you're a lot more knowledgeable recently too

@joehanika Год назад

A tip for the "too close to the side:" you can use a longer bit to help if you don't have the right angle bit.

@jasonallen19 11 месяцев назад

Found you through one of John Malecki's videos - really enjoying your content, especially the music.

this is like if Blacktailstudio cut every corner possible...

@micmaxian Год назад

Amazing table! I usually don't like aesthetic of natural wood furnishings but this is very nice, I think it was the curve in the base that make a really cool and nice to look at piece.

@jacobwills9233 Год назад

Where do I find a guy that’s just giving awesome wood away like that. Wow.

@MorleyKert Год назад

Talk to woodworkers in your local area!

@LifeBloom12 Год назад

You are doing so well since i last saw you❤ and you still tank your mom at the end of your video's ❤

@YakowoodworksLLC Год назад

I've would of get a uhaul pick-up and drive 10 to 12 hours south, saving all the shipping and brokers fees, enjoying the view of a sumer road trip. I've lived in innisfil,On now, I'm in Virginia, and I do the same for my customers. I'll drive as long as there is no more than 12 hours dirve and at least $600 shipping savings. Put it this way 2 day trip at a minimum of $300 a day it's a cherry on top! Cheers, my friend Blessings Oh, by the way I love your work!!!

@kelvinweatherspoon3498 9 месяцев назад

@KyleT1990 Год назад

Looks great. I would have personally preferred some metal hairpin legs. Would have saved a bunch of time too.

@GolysACSRP 10 месяцев назад

very nice piece of work, my hope was you were gonna epoxy the empty U shape. I understand epoxy cost alot but it would also make the value go up by atleast 200/300 bucks

@wielie1512 Год назад

Instead of the reciprocating saw, using a ruler, 2 clamps and a Stanley knife would do the trick, only a thin layer of veneer But you fixed the mistake incredibly well and that's what counts.

@mike_minnick Год назад

That's some good bending, they should call you Morley Kerf!

@MorleyKert Год назад

Haha thank you!

@setag54321 Год назад

"Water Popped the Grain" (that was key)....Beautiful Table....Sweet Design....that marine paint looked killer! Keep up the Great Work Brother!

@karloflochalsh8817 Год назад

Morley makes a cable reel.... (what the base looked like early on) - nice finished product tho

@1cent396 Год назад

Beautiful piece of art 😍😍 woaw

@JoshuaRilliet Год назад

Wow you are incredibly lucky, this gift from David is just beautiful and part of me envies you when I see these wonderful slices you got, including this superb "speckled maple cookie" (2:25) what a beauty!!! I can see that you've respected this superb wood by doing what you've done with it, thank you for doing it justice. Just something that reminds me, in previous videos I've seen on shaping plywood as you do, the people who did it moistened the wood to avoid or limit any risk of cracking, you didn't use this technique and it worked, but for other projects I think it's a good idea to do this way to bend plywood sheets.

@nielsvanzwolle5069 7 месяцев назад

damn this is just art wauw

@burlymugg Год назад

more like Morley Kerf!

@lauramarshall6376 Год назад

Holy Moly! That's gorgeous! How could you sell it? I could never have let it go. Just found your channel. Love your personality. Did you say you're in Toronto? Could you have driven it to the US and shipped from within instead of over the border?

@tristannaylor5197 Год назад

very cool!!

@coreytohme9861 Год назад

Morley, since you knew exactly where you needed to cut the kerf board for your total length, you should have cut it before you it was glued. It would have been much easier to cut flat than as a glued curve. Just a thought for next time.

@DanielSmith-yk5tg Год назад

Hi Morley. I happened across this video and I’m so pleased I watched it. This is a fantastic idea for random off cuts, I personally would have cut it into squares to make boards because I clearly don’t have your vision. Defo a new sub from me 👍🏻 Also one quick question. Do you put epoxy in your hair, I swear those curls didn’t move once no matter how much you moved about 😂🤣😂🤣

@LimitlessSimpleton Год назад

I just came from an older video of your where everyone was positive you wouldn’t have all your fingers, but there they are.

@rozy975 Год назад

Just curious, why dont you travel to US Border, for example Bufallo, NY, by car and ship it from there?

@IMOO1896 Год назад

Gorgeous

@mr.grotto Год назад

In case you're wondering, he made an update saying it arrived safe and sound to it's new owner.

@5-MinuteASMR Год назад

great video, i love this table, do you know how i could get woodworking tools since im broke and young ?

@MorleyKert Год назад

Thank you! I’d recommend looking on Facebook marketplace for used tools, or borrowing them from friends/neighbours. If you’re just getting started, I’d highly recommend taking a woodworking class.

@Koorisin Год назад

the van was/is foreshadowing?

@MorleyKert Год назад

I would've made it a cookie or donut with a bite taken out lol

@kenstockton7793 7 месяцев назад

@emberreel3577 Год назад

So, it looked really good the first time you Used apoxy (sp?) why did you sand it all off after that?

@theonlyiainever Год назад

The epoxy was to just stabilize the wood due to it being weakened from the decay.

@Aido9103 Год назад

Is this a reupload I’ve seen this

@kylewagoner Год назад

@michaelwillson6847 Год назад

A must say i like the overall table but just my opinion here didnt like the rubio finish. Oh and if id of been in yiur shoes getting free wood from that yard i would have filled that van u took some beautiful stuff yhere. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Listen, i know you need to make money by selling your projects and i know custom projects are always more expensive then mass produced shit in a factory but your prices are through the roof whilst having mediocre quality. That thing looks like it’ll last 1 year before before the cold and heat destroy it

Is there a way to preserve the bark I like the way the bark looks on the slabs could you like use resin to prevent the bark from falling off

@lovrorozmanc2935 8 месяцев назад

Check your moisture meter because it is very unlikely that wood was at 3% almost impossible. Air dried wood has around 15 % of moisture in it.

@amigee2041 5 месяцев назад

The donater said it was already kiln dried and had then been left outside for only a week.

@pelayoking7 Год назад

Always inspiring…!!! It’s always good to see how you're facing challenges and turning waste into art or furniture. Keep going; I wish you bigger and more awesome things in the near future. That’s what happy, humble, honest, and positive people deserve always. Greetings from Mexico! 🎉

@jakeshortt2479 Год назад

I like the top, but I'm not a huge fan of the solid base. Still a fun project!

@Hello-oe7wg Год назад

it looks ass ngl

@carloslimon2986 10 месяцев назад

I'm a single shop woodworker, and a project like this would take me a lot longer. Kudos for your efficient timing. Would have taken me at least 24 hrs. Three days of hour shift.

@carloslimon2986 10 месяцев назад

Take that back. It would have taken me a month 😂

@rossanctuary5238 Год назад

Noway on God's green earth, are those random pieces of shit wood, are worth that much.

@higherwrldsprodction2955 Год назад

to help strengthen the rotted areas on the top side try using wood hardener. it penetrates really well and hardens up any loose or soft wood. at least in my experience. I mainly use it on veneer to prevent splintering but couldnt hurt to do a few tests
