Detailed Video on how I build a table top and the clever way I attach it to the base without using any screws of metal hardware. I use a woodworking method similar to drawboring to make this work. This is the part 2 video of the my detailed series on this table build.

TIP: The dowels you used to attach the top to the base, first dip the dowels into liquified bees-wax. They will be MUCH easier to remove when it's time for disassembly several years down the road. Beautiful work, by the way.

This is great, I hope to build one based on your design one day. I just completed my first woodworking project a couple months ago, it was a crib for my first son. It turned out better than I ever could have hoped for. A table is such a cool thing to build. A place for your family to gather , share food and create memories. Beautiful work man. It would bring me to tears to see all of that come together if it was by my own hand. You take pride in your work, do things the proper way and don’t take shortcuts. That’s the mark of a craftsman IMO. Well done.

My next door neighbor has a small woodmizer and he gave me 15 8/4 white oak planks for some work I did for him. Now I know what to use it on. Beautiful table and job Chris. Give Utz a hug.

I bought this for a wood carving seminar. I needed something light enough for an old lady to carry from car to site and easily set up. This did the trick. I used the clamps to hold my carving stand in place and they worked well too. I have used it since then for jobs around the house and am very happy with it.

I tell you, this table is so beautiful. I love this table and would really like to build one soon. You did an amazing job my friend. That finish really transformed the piece. This is the type of furniture I want to build. This truly is an heirloom piece of furniture. It will be around long after we are gone. It is like when I go looking at old pieces of furniture and I run my hand across it and wonder about the stories of all the people who may have owned it in the past. I guess I sound weird but that is just something that really appeals to me.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 жыл бұрын

I am totally with you Joseph. Its really cool to think back at what an old piece has gone through. I also want to be remembered by my family through my work when I am gone. I want my grand children to tell their children that "your great grandfather built this table." that is a cool thought to me.

Not weird. This is a quote from John Ruskin. I put a framed copy in my late father's workshop: "Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See! This our father did for us.”

Very clever solution. I love the wave of woodworkers coming out of the woodworks (pardon the pun). It’s very inspiring and though many tend to gravitate towards power tools, hopefully this surge of craftsman fuels another generation to learn what we came from, which aids us to better realize where we’re going. Thanks for the excellent content.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words. I agree totally. I think you learn way more about the wood and put a lot more of yourself in your projects when you use your hands and hand tools. Power tools are great, but there are too many wood "machiners" rather than wood "workers" I think a hybrid blend is the way to go :)

Absolutely beautiful work!!!!!!!!!!! The accuracy with which you use hand tools is stunning and a treat to watch. I have to say that you have got the style and proportions spot on. A lot of makers fail to get the sizing of the underframe right and sometimes lose the overall effect. Yours is perfect!!!! I agree with your comments on dowel sizing and grain structure. I have had some panic moments when draw boring and had a couple which don't want to reach the full depth, but I tend to do blind holes so that they only show on one side - this may be a factor. I love your videos, keep up the great work - Regards Dave - England.
