Cheap Wood, Fancy Table

The dude just dropped 5k like it was $5

Fantastic new thumb :)

I would’ve loved to see that 10k dollar check out bill with that stuff from rockler !! 😂

And that's when it became a comedy of errors...ugh

The perfect table for Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2. jk

Here's a tip when you use your hand planes. Use a bit of candle wax on the base of your plane. It will glide like a bird.

One way to reduce the amount of wood for a flush cut to take is use a simple old school router template guide to set back a standard bit. Take a few passes making the guide smaller until you're at an amount you feel comfortable with whats left. I also end up doing a climb cut when the grain is approaching the same angle as a bit travel. Yeah, it's a little more dangerous, but if you know what's coming, you can be ready for that yank.

Beautiful i feel like we all learn something from all your videos.

Why hey do you keep wearing your worst T-shirts? It's distracting, and you get less likes!

Love it!!

It's probably good that you didn't use all mahogany, since it feels like most of the slabs were machined away! All that money gone ... reduced to sawdust. :P

Love it mate

Bow clamps for glue up of the 2 large slabs so you have even pressure down and don't risk side to side movement

I want to build my own $2000 table, Ill just need $27K in tools to get it done

Xin chào 👋👋 rất đẹp 🎉🎉

Rookie work in a God Like workshop. you must be a Rich Kid with nothing better to do than spend Dads Money

Wow, that's an awesome design!
Would love for Rockler to open up some stores here in Europe!

The table looks great

mistakes teach great lessons in improvising, pivoting, and slowing down.

Hi I made chair and 3 seater using 4x2 construction timber with cushion looks great.

I love it when everyone’s open about their mistakes. We’re all human and it makes everyone feel better when even the pros have issues.

Прекрасная мастерская!!!! Прекрасное оснащение!!!! И Вам не стыдно делать такую хуйню

Do you ever go to Great Spirit Hardwood in East Dundee? If not I highly recommend the owners are fantastic and you can beat there prices anywhere.

Anybody that says “Using a CNC isn’t woodworking” should review post secondary school furniture making courses. There is definitely CNC education included. Great comeback fixing the issues in your build! Table looks great!

Well done !

Three quick comments ...

1. The "Stretcher" ought to reach THROUGH the legs with a reduced diameter, and should be secured on the outside by through-wedges in the stretcher ... this transfers the outward facing force from the legs into a longitudinal force throughout the stretcher, while the stretcher's inside shoulders serve as a length limiter and torsion stabilizer.

2. When staining a soft wood like Douglas Fir, it can be helpful to first wipe down the wood with a VERY wet cloth, let it rest for a minute, and THEN apply the stain directly on top of the water ... this helps to prevent stain-spotting of the wood due differences in the absorption rate of liquids.

3. An un-sparred table top will always expand and flex due to moisture fluctuations ... and more aggressively so for soft wood. Any table top fastening ought to allow for these movements, otherwise you will end up with a permanently deformed, or cracked, table top. So your steel plates should have gotten short slots, rather than just holes. As an aside, the "hardwood border" will likely tear off the end-grained wood once the table goes through a couple of expansions.

The anchor man reference is 100pc relatable

make a climb cut with the router to avoid blowout

Congratulations to the couple!! 👏👏👏

Mix saw dust powder in glue

I really like it, cheaper wood and all

So glad you didn't go down that japanese 'no-CGI' non-sense road! 🤗 It looks ridiculous, is over-compicated and totally ruins any good design. But maybe that's just me 🤷

Great job!

I think that if you made a pocket with the CNC you wouldn’t have had the problem with the gap between the two slabs

i saw someone use an aggregate, like salt, in the bigger glue ups and my mind was blown by such a simple idea that had such massive results

You should look into vacuum bags

why not make some 1" thick panels and glue them on angles and have a hollow/XPS middle?

It looks great and I hope I can eventually make something as nice as this. Keep doing you and stay safe 💯😁

I wish I had the balls and knowledge to attempt and make something like this. Very inspiring design.

great project. nice job fixing the top to legs and showing overcoming the accidents 👍

One thing I do to mitigate blowout on wood like Fir was to use compression bits rather than straight blade. It virtually ended my issues.
Your ability to stop before it happens was super smart though cause it was gonna happen lol. Thanks for the great content bro.

😮❤❤❤ this is going to be the perfect gift for a couple hopefully a bride and groom. The table is awesome and of all the time I spend watching videos I’ve never seen anyone do lakes that way so congratulations. You’re my first lol.😊😊😊

The top surface being empty, doesn't feel like your style. Maybe mahogany inlay, or some other design can be put on the top face.

Making furniture with dimensional lumber is really stupid and overdone. It doesn't work.

I don't think they will ever give it up!
Oh and how to handle the strapping of the wood, don't strap, use steel bars across and not straps, straps have give. Then clamp the steel bars down to hold, not straps. This will eliminate give and stop the rise and separation of the wood.

Probably someone already said this: for "squishy" glueups between surfaces risking the piece to move, I've seen old school woodworkers putting some (fine) salt on the glue. It adds friction and the two surfaces won't wobble up and down and left and right.

why did you not flush cut the pegs...... you ruined the lines

After watching you cut the steel plate with the grinder, not wearing ear protection... I couldn't hear the rest of the video.😅
