Don't second-guess your parenting, you might think they aren't grasping a lot or that you are just babysitting them but you are molding them. That boy gets more than you think he does. I raised five, the last two were home-schooled (by me, the father) as I ran my business from home. You have a golden opportunity with those kids, maybe even more important than the reading/writing/'rithmetic stuff. Even if they never work with wood and go into an intellectual field, the reasoning, critical thinking, DIY attitude, patience, perseverance, overcoming mistakes...All that is so much more important than most people think. It really is part of the reason society is failing these days. Bring those kids into the shop more! Slow down and enjoy these years, they truly don't last forever. You blink and that boy will be off to college and your daughter will be getting married. Trust me, I lived through it.

What an honor it must of been. Paul Sellers is a amazing at his craft

That is so cool you had the chance to be apart of the chosen TV series!

It was nice to see you teaching your son. I worked with my father as a child and young man(even when I didn't want to) and it has served me well for my whole life.

Really cute with your son. I really like this table.

I have watched your video's for a long time, and I think this is my favorite. You nailed it my friend. I too am fan of the Chosen series.

My father was a carpenter and when he would accomplish something difficult, he would say ‘sometimes I amaze myself’. It always feels good to accomplish a difficult task.

Congratulations to you Andy and your wife Emily! Very happy to see you were so involved in this project. Always great content. Thanks for posting!

it came out awesome . The kids grow up fast enjoy every moment

Good that the kids are interested. They may not get into the craft, but anything you show them will rub off and will impact their lives.

The Chosen was an awesome show. What a cool opportunity and you did a great job. Thanks for sharing

Loaves and fishes. Awesome job brother.

Very cool. Nice to see all the work with hand tools. I can see how that client was so enthusiastic. Well done. I hope it auctions for big $$

Lots of great parts to this one... your son in the beginning, awesome, the table build, amazing, the t.v. set info, pretty interesting. Great job!

"Hate to pat myself on the back" - you know sometimes you just have to do that! Glad we didn't have to wait too long for part 2!

Andy it’s great to see your talents be utilized for the Chosen TV series. As a fellow Texas woodworker I throughly enjoy watching your videos.

I have been watching your channel for many years. You have inspired me to start my own channel. It’s been slow moving but I am enjoying the journey. Thank you so very much.

Part 1 of this build came up in my recommend so I had to watch both of them! This is incredible! My wife and I love The Chosen!

It is a beautiful piece, one I particularly feel as I have wanted to build Norm Abram's trestle table since that show originally aired. Half my lifetime almost. I just showed my wife your table and revisited Norm's table and we have determined I am going to finally do it in the next year or so. So thank you for the inspiration.

Great build. I really enjoyed watching this come together. I wish my boys were more involved in my projects but they are grown now and don't really care to help. So kudos to you for involving the kiddos.

thank you . hey pat away man . good work with the son . take the time with them i remember it takes up lots of time but worth it in the end .

Thanks for this journey Andy, that was a cool table and a cool video.

So very cool

Good job! Woodworking is one of those skills that I'd love to pick up, but seems like I won't get the chance in this lifetime. NIce to see someone enjoying their task =)

Great table, great adventure, Andy. Your rough work sometimes looks better than my finish work (lol). Congratulations and take care. Bill

Really amazing work, Andy! Beautiful table! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Amazing tv show!

Beautiful. Live the character of the piece

Several have called this a neat table. I call it an awesome work of art! Your talent never ceases to amaze me my friend. What an honor to create this table to be used in such a wonderful series! Congratulations!!

Brilliant work.

Very cool

Good video

This is one of my favorite builds you've done. I think knowing it was for Chosen makes it just as sweet!

Man. Just watched the show. So good. Thx for letting me know about it

Absolutely beautiful! I admire your dedication to sticking with using hand tools. I think this build was a testament to your skills.

Really cool table, looks like it was made back then.

Wow

Very cool experience for you! Great job on the table, too.

Enjoyed watching this set of videos!

Great job man, I couldn’t wait for part two of this to come out! I’ll be lookin for it! And thanks for turning me on to the chosen!

We love "The Chosen"- bought the streaming and DVD to help with costs. Looking forwad to season 2. Just as I was watching for the "lock" that you mentioned in Season 1, I'll be looking for this table in season 2

Paul Sellers is the man. I learned the same trick!

Oh man! Was that Johnny? He’s getting big!

That came out awesome!!!

Nice work Andy! I would’ve been nervous that I’ve missed the nails and accidentally hit the table top with the hammer, but you had it right on. Keep up the great work.

How cool is that! Really awesome build.

Absolutely stunning work once again! Always love watching a great craftsman at work 😀

Loved it

Such an awesome build Andy. Really appreciate all the hand tool work on this one👊🏻 What a cool experience for you and your family!

You really nailed it.....

Glad to see these types of videos again. Amazing work

Awesome job. Thanks so much for your content. Subscribed and looking forward to watching what you have coming up. Looking forward to the Chosen episode for sure. God Bless.

This table looks amazing great craftmanship

Andy, congrats on being picked to make a table for such a great show! But, you really do need to get yourself a wider chisel, as the one you were using at the beginning was WAAAAY TOO NARROW, LoL.

Really like your shop! Liked and subbed to your channel. Very nice table.

Rad.

Had a customer a couple years ago ask for a mantle with that exact look on the edge... I wish I would have seen this then...

Andy, it's hard to fathom how carpenters in the time of Jesus were able to make wood furniture. The table looked great. High glue is made from animals so that makes sense it was used in olden times and continues to be used today. Andy have you ever done a short tutorial on how to sharpen chisels?

TIP: whenever i have a chisel line dig into the wood, an easy fix/counter is to just score the fiber with a box knife. It will stop the action in its tracks.

Table turned out beautiful, hope it goes somewhere after the filming the done that respects it for the craftsmanship you put into it. There is some very satisficing with the snick snick snick sound of hand plane or chisel work.

Not couch coaching. When I get faced with disagreeable grains on cheeks I usually make 4 or 5 relief cuts then move to the chisel.

👍👍👍

Wow, the table came out amazing! I really like the hand-hewn look on the edges of the top. I can't wait to see the table in the show! I have a question Mr. Rawls: are your vise jaws wood or MDF? I've been having a little trouble with my vise jaws, and I was wondering what you recommend for this application. Thank you, and great video, as always!

Andy! That's that little Johny which i remember? He's growing faast!

Thats really good table. Nice work. Are they shooting "The Choisen" in Dallas?

SMASH that like button for father son wood working!

супер

It's so beautiful, do you know what the set workers did to make it look even older? Did the stain on top of your general finish coats?

Andy, What was the make of the skewed block plane?

I would certainly bid on a table like this. Or rather, I would help up the price for the first part of an auction on this table lol

I commented on the other video but found this one hoping to find my answer 😫 I’m wanting to build a similar table. How did you attach the top to the base while accounting for movement of the top?

what scrub plane do you use?

a mortise chisel has a lower angel and no bevel to the shoulders.

Too bad you didn’t get a chance to be an on set extra. With that beard your sporting you would have fit right in. The table turned out awesome !

Maybe someone has already said this but the first minute looks like Joseph teaching little Jesus his trade.

19:20 Surely they must have had some new stuff in the 1st Century, it can't all be already old otherwise carpentry would have died out?

do you really think they had tables in the first century? even later on,people used to set food on some cloth on the ground and sit on the ground to eat......

Silent is relexing .. no need to talk

The chosen? Ugh. Remember a lot of your viewers are atheists.

Uh oh, the boy coughed on the board. The board has covid now.
