"Pork Roll Makes You Strong!!"... You're showing your roots! I live at Exit 7, below the Taylor Ham/Pork Roll line of demarcation. Nice build, BTW.

Funny how , less than 10 seconds into the video, the first thing I notice is the Star Trek logos in the background. That's already deserving of a like! But I might be biased.

I think Chris Salomone at Four Eyes Furniture did a criss cross dining room table a couple years back; I've done criss cross legs on a number of high-touch pieces and they have all held up. Fantastic work, thanks for the video :)

Love the shirt. Horizon forbidden dawn was my most played game of 2022. I think it was over 100+ hrs.

It's funny hearing "now I can finally shave my legs" at least that's how I heard it and I turned around to see the video because I thought for sure you were showing your leg....😂

I love this. My father loved making things out of walnut. His favorite finish was Tungoil. He was partial to Formby’s. He’s been gone a few years and this was a little nostalgic for me watching you apply the oil. Love the table.

That looks a 100X better than the crap in so-called high-end furniture stores these days. Nice elegant design Marc.

Beautiful krisskross table! "Uh- huh uh- huh!"

Brings back memories of watching my late father making furniture, more modern skills that I’m sure he would have appreciated , lovely piece , nice work .

Thanks for the tech tip on matching corners.

Thank you for the Cris Cross reference. As soon as I read the title I was singing the song in my head 😁

This table will make you JUMP JUMP!

Marc, I am only subbed to a few woodworkers on KZfaq, and you are one of those few. This is top notch professional quality work. Your skills keep advancing and your builds get more complicated in reflection of that. To top it off, you designed this yourself. Outstanding, as always!

That's a really good-looking table, Marc. I especially like how you chamfered the base mitred joints. It somehow adds a bit of depth and highlights your craftsmanship. Also, I love the humour sprinkled throughout this video.

Well done as always, Marc.

Beautiful!!! Has a nice MCM vibe for my anesthetics or Scandinavian vibe for those whose just love wood working art ❤👏

I LOVE this piece! Years ago I brazed together the iron sides of an old Singer sewing machine treadle base into a + shaped base for my kitchen table, topped with a circle of slate I cut from a pool table center slate. It has a similar twisty springiness, but nothing too bad. To my eye, those inserts looked like the type designed for softwood, with aggressive toothy threads. Hardwood inserts usually have smooth threads that shouldn't fight you so much going into walnut. But now that they're installed, it doesn't really matter for your purposes. I'm sure they'll be more than strong enough.

Thanks for sharing Marc, you are like a fine wine, you keep getting better with age.🤣😂🤣Watching all your videos over the years has corrupted my sense of humor.

That is one sweet table!

Here’s your upvote love the cross-cross jump cut

I like how your video shows the process behind the build and educational as well. Especially where you mentioned why the miter saw didn’t kick back the tendon. For a new woodworker like me this is what I like to see!!

Wow, that's some amazingly thick and clear walnut stock. I've never seen anything like it locally.

Love the honesty regarding any future maintenance that may be needed on the finish! 😂

Great table. Love the design. I have a coffee table in a very similar design I'm going to make soon (by soon I mean hopefully this year). The only difference is I'm going to change the x design to a boxed x so there is more stretcher support to reduce the side to side wobble. I'll report back if it works!

It’s a gorgeous table! I love the shape and walnut just holds a special place in my heart

The meme game is strong in this one! 🤣 Love the table!!

Surprised there wasn't a jar of apple sauce on the table, in Marc's lap, or in his hands. 🤣🤣🤣

Dude! The Schweeet nip comment had me rolling!!

Beautiful

Good morning from Texas, Marc. I built an octagon poker table a while back with criss-cross legs similar to yours. I also wondered about the rigidity of the assembly, so I added criss-cross stretchers about 10" below the top. Still out of the way and they added more strength to the build. That walnut is "real purty". Thanks.

A very nice build and finished table. The crisscross design is really makes a series of triangles the strongest geometric form!!

13:09 Great video as always. Back when I installed modular office furniture, we used to call the local moving service "TWO FU@KS AND A TRUCK"!

Yes! My man! Thanks Marc.

T H A T is a beautiful table !

In my best Borat voice "It is nice. I like it" Really turned out great! Looking forward to the bench build now. You got some beautiful pieces in that top!

its a breath of fresh air to hear someone like you say you struggled at something with wood working

I really like the cleat design, it’s a strong and creative way to attach the tabletop

I like it! Very mid century modern with a feeling of shaker style. Beautiful!

Very cool. I made a similar table a while back

You haven't seen a criss-cross table before? I have. I built a 6' x 2'6" sapele criss-cross coffee table when I was at school, back in the 1960s I made it that way because I was too lazy to cut all the M&T joints required for a traditional four legs and four aprons design :-) . But my laziness paid off because the finished table looked great. In my view, much nicer than a traditional design. Of course, back then there were no power tools in the school woodwork workshop. No planers, no thicknessers, no mitre-saws, no morticers, not even an electric drill. So any idea that made a handtool job quicker and easier was a good idea!

I like the design.... Different but not weirdly different.

Another beautiful build. And your narration and videography is on point, as always.

On your chop saw, you also remove the tenon before raising the blade back up, thereby removing the chance that the blade teeth grab the tenon and tweak it AND your stop block out of position,

Pretty expensive base for your Oliver planer.... 😊 Beautiful table!

Love a good planer stand. Now all that is left is getting a jobsite saw for your saw stand.

That’s an awesome looking table, with a cool design. I was one of those that questioned the little Oliver planer. Haven’t run much through it yet, but it works fantastic. Thank for all you do.

Great work! I like the overall design, and slight curves placed in the top. Adding the matching bench was a nice touch as well.

I totally relate to the "too many options" comment.

Looks great! I think four eyes furniture may have done similar in the past. They quite like this style.

Looks great.

Love it! This is so similar to a design I have in my head only mine using ply. Yet to float the design by the boss but we are a year away from having the space so I have time.

That is one sweet table, beautiful work!

Of course it will work !!!!! I watched the video !

Awesome build! Looks Great! Also thanks for the inspiration for builds without the heavy advertisements of tools that many cannot afford, and as shown, don't even really need!

Ride like the wind, Sailing… could help stream these in my mind throughout the video. Regardless, Great design, great build, and I really like the idea of benches instead of chairs on the sides. Much more family friendly.

Wow, so many backhanded 'compliments' insinuating the crisscross stretcher idea was lifted from 4eyes furniture design. Why do that? Every original piece of furniture shares some part of its design with every similarly functional piece that preceded it. The half lap joint is not unique to any specific person alive today. This is a very nice dining table, thanks for doing the video.

Nice job. Beautiful table.

You had me at walnut

Great looking table. Reminds me of some of the leg designs Chris Shaun produce at Four Eyes Furnitue

Very nice

Excellent and the new shop looks comfortable, I sense that good to be home (in the shop) feeling...

Great build I like the shape of the top but my favourite are the legs they look killer.

Nice video and build

Beautiful work. Good video production quality. I need more of this.

Really like the table, nice work

Best video yet. 😂

That, my friend, is one unbelievably beautiful table

Gorgeous!

Looks great! I actually built a similar design about 8 year ago. Not easy. I like the spline to stabilize the criss-cross joint, I wasn't impressed with how I did it with a custom made Kreg-esqe pocket screw jig and a plug.

Fantastic table!

Great build keep the furniture builds coming!

This is a truly elegant design, Marc. And of course a beautiful build. Congratulations.

Forgot to add that those Tenons were flipping brilliant 👏 Really liked that idea 💡 👌

Will you be making a video for some chairs that match the table and bench?

Aw, you missed mutliple excellent opportunities to insert a few seconds of Chris Cross's Sailing 🙂 Myself, I enjoy these videos because I'll never have the chance to do these types of things, but there are bits and bobs of the process I can glean and use for other projects. Thanks for the effort required to put this video together. Quite enjoyable.

The table is beautiful, Mark. It's sort of an art deco design. I know you said you were going to make a matching bench, but what do you expect a chair in the same style would look like?

Great looking table, Marc~! I didn't think that I'd like the criss-cross legs, but they really look good. Love that heavy Walnut~!

Criss-Cross Table Sauce

ILike it.

Really Nice Job

Beautiful table and a great design. Thank you for sharing.

That is a beautiful table!

Great design, Marc! FYI, there's a tight shot of you routing the mortices for the joinery where all you can see is your arms and your leather (or canvas) apron. I thought for a sec you were routing topless! 🤣 content advisory

And at 9:50-ish, you just made a few strips for you next steam lamination project!

Gorgeous table. Love that style and Walnut.

The William Ng Big Daddy router bit. Yea, every time I use it, there's a certain Pucker Factor involved.

Find Vladimir Kagan mosaic coffee table 👌

We were given a table of this design, as a wedding present. It is a coffee table sized version and is currently used as a television stand. The relation that gave us it was a woodwork teacher. Ours is oak and the joints are mortice and tenons - no loose tenons. Can't say if they were hand made or there was some machine help. After 50+ years it has a few dings and scratches - but hey - don't we all.

Is this a smart design? I think it is very similar to something that Chris at Four Eyes Woodworking would design. You’re both great at it as far as I’m concerned.

Very enjoyable video. Thanks for posting.

Excellent clip usage in this one. And lovely project as always.

Looking very good, nice job🔥👍🏻

APPLESAUCE!!!

You are so talented. Great work.

How much you reckon the wood for this costs.

So question, why did you choose to do the tenon cuts on the miter saw vs the table saw? Just curious as in my mind the table saw would be faster.

Turned out beautiful amazing work

Surprised you didn't use Rubio for the finish. Beautiful table friend

The English Woodworker has a side table design just like that with bridle joints here on youtube. I copied it to build a dining table which didn't really work. Did the Twist every time someone touched it because the legs were too flimsy for the height. Made a new base and everyone survived. Your design looks really nice!

It looks nice, but how do chairs and your legs fit under it? Do you collide a lot with the table legs?
