Why Geometry Matters in Woodworking 

Yes, this table is FOR SALE! If you are interested to buy it and are in the London, UK area, please DM me on instagram! instagram.com/cmyk.workshop/ 🙌🙌🙌

Fantastic result!!! There were no failures, simply design attempts that didn’t work as originally planned. The final result is absolutely beautiful!!! Love the interlocking joint with the accent piece!! That was a wonderful touch. Great job!!

Nice design, and it works better without the veneer.

Sometimes what seems a mistake turns out to be that blessing in disguise. Made a very nice small table/bench. Nice video.

The end result was great. Beacon is hard to work with.

Thanks for sharing. The tulip wood is a great contrast.

Great table and It's important to show your mistakes and trial and error. Most YT woodworkers make it look like they get everything perfect all the time, which we all know is BS! One piece of advise I would give is when/if you can afford it, get a good sander (Festool or Mirka), it makes such a difference!

Great video and nice story about the design evolves during the built. The best pieces I had created has the same story. Looking for more content from you.

When building your finish, always use high gloss even if you want the final look to be matte or satin. The coats should be fairly thin and sanded out a bit each time. The gloss will "build up" and create a lot of depth, so that your last two coats of matte or satin still have a lot of depth under them. I suggest to make yourself some sample boards with various finishes that you can show the customer the end result while in the design stage. write the steps on the back of each sample. I do this with joinery too to show things like mortise & tenon or sliding dovetails, etc. Doing veneer like that as a beginner is really tough- I have been doing this 40+ yrs and never try to use raw veneer like that. I will buy paper backed or it I cannot I will veneer super thin plywood and then use those panels as my now thicker and flatter veneered panels- you are edgebanding anyway so the extra thickness does not matter. The other way we can "fix" a bad veneer joint is by making that a "feature" and cut it out and inlay an accent strip. Stick with it, you'll get there.

very nice design, what's your background ?

That's a great result, and done with simple tools most of us have, not a domino to be seen! :-) Where do you buy the wood?

Also, I am interested to know what the part was that connected your router to the track. Could you provide info on it please? Thank you.

The base's design is excellent. Did you consider the fluted edge, grooved design detail for your offset top? I very much liked the idea of the offset detail, but I think it may have blended more than you would have liked. Keep building.

veneering is all about learning how to do it, using a burl is something I wouldn't suggest for a first attempt, also use veneer tape not masking tape, and you put on way too much glue

Superb

Buen mueble , mi padre para pegar la chapa le ponía una loza de mármol ajustada con algunos tirantes de encino con una cuerda y si que compactada bien
