I was recently commissioned to build a couple of end tables by the same client that purchased the live edge bench that I built a few months ago. This video shows the build process.

@@Simplecove: I was referring to the sliding mechanism under the drawer - sorry I thought there were slides on the table. Thanks! You do beautiful work!!
Absolutely incredible work! I just made a side table and I am so glad I watched this before finishing mine, I'm going to binge all your other stuff, thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful work and a really classy design. Excellent wood choice and enjoyed seeing your construction methods. Only criticism is the “comic book” skull knob on a high end design. Just one mans opinion.
Great video. I am making a bedside table for my wife. She wants a shelf in addition to a drawer. Was struggling with how to attach the shelf to the legs. Your method of basically doing a tongue in groove with the shelf and rail inspired me. Did you glue the entire width of the shelf into the groove? Were you not worried about wood movement? Should I only glue a little bit in the back and let the rest move freely?
Sean, Really excellent design and execution. I especially like your use of templates. One question: I notice you glued the bottom shelf ...are you concerned with wood movement and potentially splitting?
Awesome table! I’m making a couple similar for a customer and your video gave me some great ideas. Any concern about wood movement with the lower shelf? I was thinking I’d just glue the shelf tenon in the middle of each mortise and cut the tenon a bit shorter than the mortise to allow it to float on the edges. Almost like a small breadboard. It looks like you glued all along the mortise. Have there been any issues with this? Thanks!
What’s the purpose of the stretchers just beneath the table top that the z clips slide into? Couldn’t you just slit the apron for the clips to go into?
They are for the drawers. Since the aprons are inset, the drawers wont make contact with anything(on the top of the drawers) on the inside of the frame.
I’ve gotta get a bandsaw... those curves really change everything. I’m curious about how strong the bottom shelf is. That seems like a tough design feature to execute
Very nice work! I do have one question regarding your table saw above blade dust collection port: how effective is it? I have posed the question a few times in the places I normally hang out, but have not gotten much of a response. I am thinking of adding it to my table saw, but would like some feedback from someone who uses one. Thanks!
The dust collection that came with my saw is actually really good if your blade is buried in the wood. If you are trimming a board and only half of the blade is removing wood, the dust will kick forward and not get picked up by the dust collection but that seems typical with all of the over the blade collection systems from what I read. I know saw stop has an aftermarket dust collection for this saw but I don't see the need to upgrade. The setup I have works good enough for me. Thank you!
I cut tenons the same way on the table saw and the band saw. So much easier than standing them up with a jig on table saw. You don't see this method get a lot of love though
Who promised that you could make it without power tools? I don't recall saying that in the video. Do you go to cooking videos and complain they have ovens and blenders?
@@Simplecove hi, no way I'd intend to say anything that would suggest that this isnt a valuable video for many. That was my first knee jerk reaction is all. I was going to delete or edit. Because after further looking into your channel you have all the info of what tools you use posted. (Sometimes other creators carelessly do not post such things) I did learn how complex the process can get and I'm brand new to DIY and was glad to learn a little more about what goes all into quality woodworking, real craftsmanship. I do appreciate your sharing this video. I was initially thinking it was something I could do with what I have. I learned a few things that I could hopefully learn and use in my lifetime. I carelessly left my comment thinking it would be overlooked anyway and I figure it wasn't going to hurt anyone or deter people so I hope it didnt create any sort of feelings of not being appreciated or that it was my intention. I was surprised to see all that went into your project and a hopeless intial response. Sorry if I made you appear or feel unappreciated and like I meant to insult your work or you personally. You do professional unique work that I wont be able to ever do and your content is well worth watching if one were to be looking to learn more about techniques and what it takes to make a real quality product. With the reference to the proper tools to make projects easier or even for entrepreneurs who want to make this more than a hobby. Sorry for the inconvenience. thank you for your reply.
@@Simplecove I didnt even realize I learned something until I referenced your video to my boyfriend [whose acct this is] as he went to school for carpentry and although he didnt complete the year he came back to the trade and is not just a pay raise away from being a journeyman. What's interesting is, because I do this type of research. I learn some things that he probably wish I didnt cause now I'll be needing to have all the right tools. Its alot of common sense and simple things he does but I want to do the rotary work and interesting work I seen here today.

It's a beautiful end table, but you didn't show how to install the hardware for the drawer.
I didn't use drawer slides so there's no hardware to install.

Man that looks really nice.
Stunning piece.
Great looking table .Great use of the railroad spike head.
Nice project, great job, excellent video!
Simply Beautiful, I'm sure it took you weeks to complete your project, you deserve more than 868 thumbs up..
Excellent !!
Absolutely beautiful work! Great job!
Thank you
Love that he uses the blade guard.
I left the lucky one thousand like 👍
Adding the curves to most/all of the faces was a pure win move. They turned out great! 👍
Thanks man!
Beautiful wood choices & stunning woodworking! Well done....... 👍👍😉😉👏👏
You do very solid work. I enjoy watching
This one is high end product with all the neat latching techniques.. excellent product
Beautiful ❤️
Really nice and subtle curves in this project. Beautiful wood choice, too. And solid video work.👊🏼
Thank you!
Good job dood. I recently made my first end table I love doing em because they have every skill of woodworking in it somewhere.
Love how clean your shop and tools are. Top shelf gear and project outcome!
Beautifully done, Sean!
Thank you!
I love that spalted on cherry, spalted on mahogany, spalted on walnut look.....hell, I just love spalted!
Turned out amazing. Awesome process. Great stuff
Sean these are absolutely incredible love the cures and it flows so nicely. Another awesome build.
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
SimpleCove [Sean Walker] Hey you deserve it you do so much for all your subscribers.
Gorgeous table and joinery.
Thank you!
Great work Sean. Love those drawer pulls!
Thanks! Yeah they are pretty cool.
Beautiful work and a really classy design. Excellent wood choice and enjoyed seeing your construction methods. Only criticism is the “comic book” skull knob on a high end design. Just one mans opinion.
The owner wanted the knobs that I put on it. They would not be my first choice either.
Gorgeous!! Love the design!!
Thanks Mark
Well done, Sean! And you built that whole thing in just 13 min?! Kudos to you! ha. I love the contrast of the spalted maple with the walnut.
It was a very long 13 minutes lol. Thanks Bruce
nice design and beautifully made. best wishes.
Really lovely pieces! But what was that bench hook you used when chiseling out the dovetails?
Beautiful work and great video. Loved everything except the pulls. :)
Needless to say awesome work show those look awesome
Thanks Joe!
SimpleCove [Sean Walker] ALWAYS! Love the curves and colors..and the icing on the cake skull drawer pull..haha.🤘☠.
lol no doubt dude. Thanks man.
Perfect work, very nice project, pleasure to watch. ...5 stars :-)...

Sean, Great job, makes me just a touch envious,LOL.
Thanks!
Nice build and nice video
Thanks Pete
Nice !!!!
Tip top!
Beautiful job! I edit my videos in the same way, love that style
Appreciate it!
Beautiful work! Nice to watch. What did you make your router templates out of?
I don't recall exactly but 1/4" MDF or plywood work just fine.
Dope AF!
Good job!
Thank you
All those curves are making my brain hurt! Beautiful work!
+Dustin Penner thanks Dustin!
Another question, sorry. What is the thickness for your table legs you used in this build?
awesome!!!
Great video. I am making a bedside table for my wife. She wants a shelf in addition to a drawer. Was struggling with how to attach the shelf to the legs. Your method of basically doing a tongue in groove with the shelf and rail inspired me. Did you glue the entire width of the shelf into the groove? Were you not worried about wood movement? Should I only glue a little bit in the back and let the rest move freely?
I don't remember what I did but if your fit is snug you can put glue in the middle of the shelf tenon only so it can expand front and back
@@Simplecove Similar to a breadboard end on a table.....better solution. Thanks.
Sean, Really excellent design and execution. I especially like your use of templates. One question: I notice you glued the bottom shelf ...are you concerned with wood movement and potentially splitting?
+Dan Campbell I glued the Tenon's but the shelf itself isn't glued and can still move. Thank you.
Awesome table! I’m making a couple similar for a customer and your video gave me some great ideas.
Any concern about wood movement with the lower shelf? I was thinking I’d just glue the shelf tenon in the middle of each mortise and cut the tenon a bit shorter than the mortise to allow it to float on the edges. Almost like a small breadboard.

Thanks!
Beautiful. But wipe on poly?
What's wrong with wipe on poly for an end table?
Is that the big daddy pattern bit from William Ng? Great build
Nah it's just a big ol' flush trim bit. Thank you
What’s the purpose of the stretchers just beneath the table top that the z clips slide into? Couldn’t you just slit the apron for the clips to go into?
They are for the drawers. Since the aprons are inset, the drawers wont make contact with anything(on the top of the drawers) on the inside of the frame.
Do you have plans for this project? thanks
I’ve gotta get a bandsaw... those curves really change everything. I’m curious about how strong the bottom shelf is. That seems like a tough design feature to execute
The bottom shelf is plenty strong for an end table. It has a 3/8" tenon pretty much the width of the board on both sides. Thanks for watching!

fantastic sean, great jointing ( NO POCKET HOLES ), only thing i would change is the draw knob just not my taste, well done, keep up the good work.
What are the dimensions?
I wonder if that’s how my face looks during an intense glue-up.....?
And, of course, great work and thanks for sharing!
It's the most important part of the project lol. If I screw up during the glue up, i've wasted hours of work!
Thanks Joe!
Looks good but not really a how to video.
If you are going to build these end tables and have questions, let me know. I would be more than willing to answer them.
Okay n where are the videos without the need of $10,000 worth of equipment first?
Who promised that you could make it without power tools? I don't recall saying that in the video. Do you go to cooking videos and complain they have ovens and blenders?
