Thank you so much, Scott! Yes I definitely did plenty of handwringing on this one trying to get it right. Plenty more coming.

Thanks so much! I made the client a gift with some of it. But he is also a hobbyist woodworker so I think he wants to take the rest back home and make some things.

Hahaha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you so much!

Thanks Geoff! 🙌

Thank you so much 😀

Haha. Well the guy who had the wenge before my client got ahold of it did indeed reject it. I tell the story mid-way through.

Thank you! Yeah we considered a few different options for working in more wenge to the piece and landed on this one as it’s a bit more subtle.

Wow thanks so much for the compliment. I’m coming up on one year of posting this fall and hope to keep it going for a long time. This is really encouraging to me. I will do my best to keep up the quality and detail.

Thanks so much! FWIW I do take commissions... 🙃

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed seeing it!

Haha maybe so! Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks so much for your kind words! I agree with you. I definitely had to make some tough choices with the available material. The two quarter-sawn boards were the only other ones long enough and they would have looked worse I'm afraid. If nothing else it'll speak a little to the character of the table's story. Would definitely not have gone with that if I were making it from new rough timber.

Ah do it! They're really fun to make. Hopefully this can give you a bit of a reference point for how to make the joints.

@@sturdyboneswoodworking absolutely! Thank you.

Hahaha yeah I had to do it. Thanks for watching. Glad I could provide a laugh.

Hey thanks so much! Yeah it’s a funny thought to me but each time I finish a new piece I’m more okay with it. Making videos about it also helps make it feel like art 😁.

Hey thanks so much for watching and subscribing. And yes I’m a big SBMT fan.

Thank you! 🙏

I am Durham NC based. So I typically go to The Hardwood Store of NC in Gibsonville. When I picked up this material they had it in 8/4, 5/4, and 4/4. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks a ton for watching!

Awesome! Ever since I made this video I’ve been a lot more conscious about how I leave my parts around in the shop. I have little sets of stickers everywhere. Haha.

Hey that’s great feedback. I’m super open to that sort of critique. I’ve been trying to figure out how to better use it, or whether to keep it at all. So thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hahaha. Thanks man! I agree. Love that shirt. I appreciate you, bro. Thanks for watching.

Both of you are amazing woodworkers ❤.

Great video! I noticed that you used Foureyes and Shaun Boyds signature artistic rendering overlay. I hope that maybe you asked permission to respect their innovations. No disrespect at all, I just think creators should consider eachothers unique quality's.

Hey yes I did. Thanks for your concern! It was a little one and what I was worried about was the whole thing not coming out. Wenge is so brittle it’s easy for tiny bits to break off and be left in the skin and I think that’s what is dangerous. I got the whole thing out though. And I agree re: masks. I do sometimes forget but usually I’m wearing my RZ mask (link in the description lol) when doing really dusty tasks. I also run 2 air scrubbers in the shop continuously during work.

Thanks so much! More stuff in the works!

Hahaha yeah I did put a close up of that thing in there. I didn't list it because I turned it from a chunk of olive wood and I had to buy the hardware from a guy on Etsy. The blades are Swann-Morton surgical blades. Just look up "Swann-Morton Knife" from a seller called WellEngineeredStuff if you want to make one. He actually does sell complete ones too. But it was more fun for me to just get the brass portion and a pack of SM blades from Amazon.

Haha. Yes, a little. I thought about how to deal with it, but the only other chunks I had that were big enough were the quarter-sawn ones I removed at the beginning. I guess one option would have been to use one of the flat-sawn ones I chose for the stretcher and use the QS ones instead for the stretcher. But because the stretcher was getting angles cut on it, I wasn't sure what the faces of it would look like if they were only :slightly: QS after that operation. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! A lot more in the works!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. It’s not a large library yet but I’m planning to keep cranking out videos. I really enjoy the process. Haven’t tried Osage Orange yet. Is it nice?

Awesome yeah. It’s a well that doesn’t run dry. So many disciplines too.

Awesome! Thanks so much! Yeah I wasn’t seeking out barefoot shoes when I first discovered Lems but they’ve literally been life changing. Haha. All I wear now. I have like 4 pair. I can’t wait for it to get cold so I can wear my Summit boots more. Thanks for the sub.

Wow thanks so much for this! Really feels great to think I’ve inspired someone! Keep practicing and don’t let go of those creative ideas. They turn into huge undertakings like this table carving that you never forget.

Thanks. I’m blown away. Glad you’re enjoying my videos! 🙌

Thanks so much!

Hmm yeah maybe. I thought about how I could do that but couldn’t figure out how to account for the kerf thickness that I had cut away.

I really appreciate that. And yeah I won’t be doing that again moving forward! Haha. More is coming I promise.

Haha. I was trying to wear all black shirts throughout the video. Also, Shaun is awesome. Thanks for watching.

@@sturdyboneswoodworking I guess if you don't care about promoting your competitions swag.

I really don’t. 😁 Shaun deserves far more subs and views than he currently has. I’ve learned a lot from him and he’s helped me a ton along my TH-cam and woodworking journey.

Thanks so much for this. Yeah in the end the mistakes just make you a better woodworker. As many on YT say it’s more about how you recover from them. Keep pushing forward and try not to poo-poo your own work with comparison. You’ll get to the level you’re seeking if you keep it up. I also love both of those channels. They’re great people.

Thank you so much! Really happy you enjoyed it.

Haha yeah man. Be careful out there. 😁

So fusion won’t really do the sketches. Sketchup has some ways to do stylized renders I think. But I do my drawings in Procreate on iPad with Apple Pencil. That’s a powerful app with a lot of cool built in brushes. I use fusion to do my technical work and convert to tech drawing with dimensions etc. Thanks for watching.

Hey thanks for watching! Yeah I guess I only hinted at it. The main issue with how I did it was that the jig wasn’t long enough. I would at least make a full length fence jig next time. Another decent solution would be to make another jig similar to the one I used for the feet but angled appropriately and do it on the band saw.

​@@sturdyboneswoodworkingI was thinking maybe retape the cutoff to maintain your reference face.

Thanks so much!

Sweet! Thanks! Yeah I need to make an L-Fence

Mission accomplished! Yass my goal was to get at least one person to comment about it! Thank you! 🥸🙏

Thanks so much!

Wow thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! 💪🏼
