This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzfaq.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

Awesome work. Man your fingers were close to that table saw blade, I was cringing

They say you cannot tell a book by it's cover. It sure applies to this lumber. Cruddy cover, beautiful figure and color. It took some effort on your part but it was certainly worth it. That table is a keeper. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.

I must have watched 30 waterfall edge videos and this one has the most practical and helpful tips to help ensure a successful fit and finish to waterfall bevel joints incorporating dowels. Well done mate, I look forward to watching more of your content.

AWESOME JOB!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR PROCESS & GIVING EXTRA TIPS ALSO!! I had a waterfall desk in my car's trunk when my car was stolen early in the morning several months ago. I had found the desk at a thriftshop & had planned to keept it in my car's trunk til I was done rearranging my livingroom & putting awaybitems, since I had just moved in. Desk was $10, but had been almost exactly what I was looking for & I was going to paint it. I'm thinking about either building another desk like it, with some help, of course. I love that you're careful with the different types, conditions & ages of the materials you work with & treat them as they need to be, rather than just rushing through & going random directions, etc. with cutting, sanding, etc.!! Thank you, again for you video, process info & tips!! Blessings for everyone, always!! 😁😁😁😁

Love the way the beat drops at the end!! Awesome build

Thank you for sharing the magic of reclaiming Lumber! Great lesson. Enjoy watching your channel from Northeat US. Peace!

I'm also making a table in my garage at home these days. I wanted to make a coffee table in the form you made, but I think I can refer to it because you explained it slowly and well. I enjoyed the video, thank you for the good information.

Bravo Bill! It looks great! I use the same table saw which seems to handle the same old hardwoods in multiple passes quite well. Just a quick tip though when adjusting the blade angle to 45 degrees - don't go past that point as there is a weak point in the cast iron linkage that allows this action in the saw which i snapped. What a pain in the neck! Had to get a spare part from Hare and Forbes in Northmead for about $45 which was the easy part. I then had to completely dismantle the whole saw table to replace it. I took advantage of this however and I cleaned/re greased everything and now it's better than new! Hope this helps you avoid the same mistake. Cheers Matt

That splitter is such a brilliant and elegant solution. I can't believe I've never noticed it before. I haven't been using on because I couldn't figure out how to make it perfectly aligned to the blade but with the screw holes being a bit oversized like in your designed, it should be very easy to do. Thanks.

The wood grain is stunning and that makes for a really elegant piece of furniture. Great video mate 👍🏽 👌 👏

I just discovered your channel this morning and this was the 1st. video that KZfaq had on my recommend list. Great job on the table, I love the finished product. The wood is absolutely beautiful and i'm off to my local Woodcraft store today to pick-up some Hickory to replicate this table. I like how you used the backer board on your miter cuts to stop the splintering and that you decided to use dowels to connect your miters. Keep up the great work and I hope y'all keep building and sharing your videos.

You sure have a knack of finding the treasure out of a pile of trash, beautiful job man, looks super classy.

That timber of yours sure does look like it is out to get ya! One wayward wave of a hand, and you'll end up with a splinter through and through! Thanks for taking on the risk to your own person, and to create an amazing looking coffee table and going to the trouble of sharing it with us all. 😂👍😂👍

Nice addition to your chairs! Not quite spring here yet but I may dive in and build one when the weather warms a little. Thank you for posting!

Beautiful colour in that timber Vic. Nice project for it.

The wood is beautiful, the final product is beautiful too

Great thing. I like the pattern. And yes - it must be gum tree. Your experiences match to described properties for this kind of wood.

That was sweet mate, that old wood looks amazing.

Love your scrap piles!!!! Always a great piece of lumber under the gunk....Love the piece!

What a gorgeous table from that old looking wood. Very well done.

That came out absolutely awesome mate, those clamping blocks are very clever. That trim router though...😂😂😂

Really nice! ... one quick point. Try to get out of the habbit of passing your hand/fingers directly over the jointer blade. Some of those shots we're really iffy, especially @1:50. Keeping a few inches either of the blade could save a nasty injury, or at least make for less of an injury.

Wow bud 😍 absolutely amazing result !!! Look incredible, very skilful too 👍

You should have seen my face after the first pass on the jointer. The wood was beautiful. The table is beautiful

Another masterpiece. You've every right to be proud of it. You couldn't buy that kind of quality.

Great job as always Vic. Nice use of what others might have thrown out or burnt.

Very nice piece.

That’s sure turned out gorgeous! Great job as usual!

Stunning!

Simply gorgeous Vic

Great build and idea but the wood is fantastic and will last a long time fantastic job thanks for sharing your time and skill and remember#stay safe and make. 🍺🍺👍👍😷

Beautiful job Vic! Most people I know would have tossed that old lumber on a burn pile.

Beautiful table, really like the water fall effect! Nice touch by placing your mark on the leg, very cool

Beautiful end result from something so unassuming as some painted planks.

Thanks for taking the time to share the process with us ... and what a great result

Looks like walnut. Beautiful job!

Great looking table, Vic.

Rerally nice work!

Great build as usual. Noticed the tear out without the backer board. I noticed your table saw blade is a ripping cut. I had the same and swapped it out and now use 60/80 teeth blades. Makes quite a difference in cut finish.

Brilliant end result. Everyone watching should subscribe and get vic to 50,000 by end of year!

Great idea to use the dowel jig instead of a domino Vic! As you say, way cheaper!!!

Spectacular job!! DD

Thank you so much. Excellent craftsmanship and thank you for sharing.

Nice job Vic! Sure love the looks of that wood. Don't know what it is but have to wonder why anyone would have ever painted it. Thanks Vic!

Great Video mate!

Very Nice work. Beautiful wood. Love "Threat Level Midnight" poster from "The Office" on the wall.

Beautiful

Great work Vic as usual. Another beautiful furniture piece to add to your collection.

This one turned out really nice Vic, bonus points for using seasoned hardwood mate. That timber is called Citadora magnificus 😄

At a guess Blackwood with sapwood but apart from that no idea 😮🧐, sorry mate lol however what a gorgeous coffee table. Always grateful to see what beautiful items of furniture you make 🇦🇺🍻👍

Stunning

Looks amazing! I came to this video looking to do somethign similar the only difference is that I'll add a whole piece at the bottom for a complete square. Thanks for the dowel recommendation- that was my concern- but it looks like yours came out perfectly!

Bonjour de France. Beau travail très soigné. Bonne continuation.

the beat at the end caught me off guard haha 🔥🔥

yet another fantastic job absolutely loved it mate

Your work is so good. 👍👏👏

I can also vouch for the Dowelmax system

Stunning is the word. I am now in the habit of wearing gloves with the hard woods. Hard on the tools as well. Shame you don't live a little closer to Kuffy. You could of used his pride and joy

First time I've noticed your "Where's your mind?" reminder on your table saw. I keep a large photo of my mangled thumb on mine. I have to move it every time I use the saw, a reminder I can't avoid.

great job

Thanks

Looks like Spotted Gum. Nice job!

Turned out awsome

Brilliant, really nicely done and explained, thanks and have subscribed!

It does look perfect.

Fantastic

Very nice work.

Nice work mate

Beautiful table mate ! I really enjoy your videos :D

I plan to build a waterfall dining table for my patio. Do you strongly recommend using reusable miter clamping blocks? I've seen some woodworkers glue blocks to their pieces over brown paper so there is a fault line, but I feel nervous about gluing anything to my table top.

Beautiful coffee table. I was wondering, as there is no support between the legs, is there any racking at all? The timber looks like it might be a spotted gum. Great video as usual. Cheers. PS, every time I looked at the triangle you drew, it kept reminding me of the Dark Side of the Moon album.

Great work mate!! Looks very elegant and amazing looking grain too. Keep it up.

Nice one! Looked like the timber might be Spotted Gum. Was it super-heavy?

Good job buddy.

You are giving me tons of ideas for my new desk Vic. I think I'll copy that waterfall mitred edge on one side at least. Out of interest what setting do you use on the Wagner for poly?

That timber looks so good mam..;-)

Super video instruction! I have a walnut slab 2 1/8” thick. I have already cut the 45. Will the dowelmax work on a 2 1/8” slab? Need to make sure before I purchase. Thanks again for sharing this with us.

Great work

good job........Definately, Iron Bark!

Which dowelmax do you have? I see a few different options. Is it only the 45 degree one? Does the full system also do the 45? Thank you! Greate table!

Spotted gum mate

I'm late to the party, i hope you've bought yourself a track saw by now lol love the build mate

I've been enjoying your Chanel for some time now. Not only do you recycle old weathered timber, but you also seem to use older refurbished tools like the small trim router in this video, and your original jointer you refurbished sometime ago. Looking around your workshop during the vids, and seeing a few of things you have done, are you an electrician by trade?

Any chance you could demo your dowel jig a bit more? Curious how you used the clap to keep it still on that mitre cut

Hey mate I’m from sydney australia and was wondering if you bought the Dowelmax 45 Degree Miter System from their website ? I’m like u I don’t wana spend thousands on a festool to do the same job thanks

Tolles Ergebnis👍

Loving those lines, what a magnificent job mate 👍🏽 So did you manage to figure out the species of wood yet?

Great piece of work! It looks amazing. By the way, what is the brand of glue you use? Cheers!

How is that holding up with the doweled miters? I have 8 benches to do soon.

Great vid. How did you make the reusable mitered clamping blocks?

How did you get the dowelmax to line up perfectly for the miter joint?

it came out great but dude use some push blocks

Where do you source your logos circles from? I have been looking for a similar style.

Is there any way to make this top and side legs detachable (knock down)

Great 👍👍👍

Beautiful work. Can I ask what the doweling jig is that you used?

🤙🏼nice

Chestnut wood

It looks like burmese teak.
