I’m recovering from my second brain cancer tumor removal surgery and you just gave me 15 minuets of escape from my pain and fear. Thank you. Also, Incase nobody ever told you...you’re pretty good with a chisel. 🤗 bless you and your family.

So much respect for not using epoxy... Love to see a table like this one!! AWEsMe work!!

Very nice table, very unique! Thanks for sharing!

really amazing sir I am a young man from Indonesia. Beginners in carpentry admire every process of your work, sir. I learned a lot about timber techniques here. I hope you are always there, sir. thank you 👍

This is the type of content that shows the Samurai Carpenter at his best and what inspires me as a complete woodworking noob, keep up the good work

The Samarai at his best! Love this table.

The moment of panic with your son was great, I was wondering about that during the build and I'm so glad you got footage of that moment!

11:24 "Back to reality" ja ja ja. Excellent work! The most beautiful table! Congratulations!

Jesse you knocked this out of the park so freaking incredible my brother. Such beautiful joinery and the top so so awesome. Great to see your first family meal and REALITY HITS lmao but hey it is what it is and that’s the most important thing FAMILY FIRST!!

All I can say is Wow!!! That is amazing. I think it's the coolest table ever. Kid getting stuck in the middle of the table is classic. Great work as always samurai!!

My gosh! Not only amazing craftsmanship but tremendous artistry as well! You're a cut above!

You certainly made a beautiful table. The end of the video made it even more fun watching when the family was enjoying a meal together. A nice bit of humor when one the kids decided to stand up in the gap between the boards.

WOW!! Mind blown! That is a gorgeous piece of furniture art. Nice to see that no epoxy used to fill the centre. Beautiful!

Thought I saw "Samurai" out for supper in my hometown...then I saw the "chisel on" shirt and knew for sure. Took a lot of inner strength not to be "that guy" who geeks out and says how big a fan he is...but I am and this video is an example of why. Cheers. P.S. You're welcome for not interrupting your dinner...☺

Dude! That was amazing. I’m new to woodworking and was mesmerized by this video. Great job.

Beautiful table! I'm inspired every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing. Your are truly an artist.

The Samurai is back !!!! .........Hes back !!!! Top quality work amigo .........

Superb work - instantly recognizable as your own style. So good to see a classic samurai-style video up on your channel again. Thanks for sharing, you've made my day !

Gorgeous! And it's pretty awesome you incorporate your family in these vids! Keep up the great work!

This is a wonderful reality! Video's great - *all of them!*

This is just so insanely beautiful - and amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing!!

That belongs in a museum. Beautiful

Wow! I'm out of words. Just wow. Your Family and the Table, they're all beautiful.

I LOVE that live edge down the center. Beautiful piece.

Beautiful kids! Showing us your family having a dinner seems to represent your philosophy in making furniture. Thanks for the great video!

Beautiful family! Table is nice too.

I love the style of the carpenter,he is highly skilled,hoping u many more can satisfied ur work...good job Joe...

This is a pure art. Breathtaking.

I love the idea of putting the live edges facing inward gives a gulch/winding river look that is incredible. It was an awesome video, and furniture piece.

Whooo been waiting for this

That was truly inspiring to watch. Thank you so much for posting this.

One of the best table production I watched online. What a great job.

Turned out stunning. Love the design other than the separation in the middle but that's just stylistic difference and the eye of the beholder. Being a father of 6 myself I was laughing aloud when your son plugged the hole with his body! They will always find a way haha!

i like the way that you left the breadboards proud of the edge, mine have moved (as wood does) and now the little gap looks like a mistake rather than a design feature.

THAT is a table. Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing this awesome project and a bit of reality. Cheers, kid

I know you're probably not watching the comments on this video since it's so old, but I wish you would still make more videos like this. I've been watching you since about 2018 and you're the reason I finally got into woodworking in 2020. I'd love more of a how-to series or diy videos. Just a dream though. I want to learn from the master

That was just amazing. And the family scenes were excellent!

Fantastic work! I have been waiting for you to make a table and this is simply amazing. I cant wait for the chairs and the tutorial on how to make them!

Your craftsmanship is truly an inspiration! It is because of videos like this I have begun trying to learn some traditional joinery. Beautiful table! Thank you!

Happiness is a sharp blade and a healthy family

awesome work as always Samurai.

Everything you make is simply stunning. Keep up the great work.

Nothing more soothing than a well executed job. Kudos to your craftsmanship.

Beautiful table! Truly impressive build. Love how you added some curves to the table legs, goes well with the live edges. Love this video and table design.

You are an amazing craftsman and artist at the same time. Beautiful work and great Design!

This table is sick I love how you didn't epoxy the middle looks amazing

NICE... one of the best tables i've watched being built on you tube

Awesome table. Love the wedges through the trestle and the hand made butterflies. Of course the joinery on the legs. Fantastic!

A thing of beauty! You are an amazing craftsman.

Beautiful table.....Amazing talent and craftsmanship. Thanks, for sharing.

You never cease to amaze me! Beautiful. I hope you and your family are staying healthy.

What a fine craftmanship! Ending was even better.

Beautiful piece of art.

Beautiful piece of furniture!

Good jod my friend congratulations and beautiful family too

I've seen a LOT of tables on KZfaq. This one is the most beautiful I have seen to date! Absolutely stunning!

Amazing!!! I follow your self from France since longtime, it’s your best jobs

Incredible. I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing

Bro...I have to say - you are just a badass!!! Ive watched a lot of videos from... the same sort of genre... and you bro, are hands down 'Da Man' - A true craftsman! Your skill with.... is second to none! I grew up watching my dad use many of the same tools/instruments you wield... not quite the skillset you possess...but, your video... it's nostalgic - reminds me so much of him and the time he and I shared in the shop. I'm not real sure what to say... watching this just now really moved/made such an impression on me tonight... in so many ways! your video flooded my thoughts with so many of the good things he taught/instilled in me - Thank you! It's been a rough couple years and I forgot what it was like to feel like this - to be so emotional...in a good way! I never 'like', much less 'subscribe'...and I'm freakin' commenting! You have inspired me and for that I thank you!

Gorgeous table, beautiful family: great work all around!

WOW ! it's amazing project. You've great talent, I love yours channel...good job

One of your best vids yet. Combination of the project, camera angles, edit, music and then family, made it an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you!

"The Spirit" Great project - well build table - Excellent

That whole bit at 11:40 was pretty funny. Nice touch keeping that in there. Gorgeous work

Wonderful work!

Very accurate and qualitative work on a tree. Marvelous!

Hello from Tokyo Thank you for sharing the video. I loved the part for showing the table-making process as well as the "Back to Reality" section : ) Impressed with the beauty of the table and how it is made.

Great design and beautiful wood. It was a pleasure to watch your carpentry skills. Best wishes

The heart of the family home.

Functional Art, Not like a picture, you remember every once in a while. Very wonderful!

LOL those kids are awesome!!!!!! Reminds me and my cousin putting pitted black olives on our fingers messing around....The table is amazing thanks for sharing

I am in total awe at the level of craftsmanship. Also, my kids would never be allowed to eat at it.

Seus trabalhos são Fantásticos! Parabéns! God bless your life... 🇧🇷

Inspirational! I now know what I will be making this year-I will try to upload the results-I hope it won't elicit too much derision! Many Thanks Mr DeGeest and a Happy New Year to you and all of your family!

A piece of art you can eat off of, that's brilliant!

a masterpiece, including video editing

Glad to see you've gotten back in the groove, seriously beautiful. Also every time I watch your videos I'm reminded of how badly I need to upgrade my chisels

What a Great Family! You guys have your hands full!

That table is beautiful. If my grandmother were alive today to see that, she would say in Spanish, hay un agujero!!! There’s a hole in it!!!

A true master!

WHEN MAN PUTS HIS MIND AND HIS HANDS TOGETHER HE HAS THE ABILITY TO CREATE BREATHTAKING BEAUTY BUT WHAT A SHAME THAT EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES DOES NOT TURN OUT AS BEAUTIFUL AS THIS TABLE. CLASS VIDEO AND THE END PRODUCT, WOW, IT IS A BEAUTY TO BEHOLD.

That is insanely good! What a high standard of finish, you have some serious talent 🙌

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful Table & Family.

I'm so glad you are back to this type of footage. Love this so much. It's an inspiration.

The table is art! I was following every detail since I’m all for complicated projects but when I saw four boys my eyes froze and realized that I’m behind with two boys. You’re me in the future 🤗

Just amazing. I loved that I saw your workbench again.

Around a beautiful table with a beautiful family! Awesome job

You do great work. I'm teaching a class on how to build your "shop stool."

Watching this great work is a pleasure for me. Not only your work but also your love to your family. You bring happiness to this world Samurai. Respect from Indonesia
