I wholeheartedly agree. Nothing has taught me more humility and flexibility than experiences like I had in this project. Thanks for watching and glad you like the end product!
My friend learning to accept your mistakes and learn from them is the best skill you can learn in life and as a woodworker. It’s humbling but I think makes us better people in the end. Thanks for watching!
Seeing the quality of your video and woodworking, I was surprised how small your channel is (currently). But I‘m sure that‘ll change soon enough. Keep up the great work!
You made the right choice. Good end product. In the beginning of the video with the epoxy. Kinda short cut it. I do the same. Trying to break that habit cuz it just takes longer to fix it. Thank you for your content. We need more when you get the chance.
Yeah absolutely. It can definitely be misleading and make it look like band saw cuts are a breeze. Which they’re not bad really unless you’re resawing which takes waaaay longer. Thanks for watching!
Cameron, your Sturdy Bones Woodworking channel is quickly becoming a favorite. Outstanding job storytelling balanced with usable tips and real-life "learning opportunities". Loved the design animation at the beginning and totally support the adjustments as you set the slab in place. Looking forward to the next release.
Wow thanks so much for that! I’m glad you liked the design overview. It was fun to break out my watercolors and make that. I think I’ll keep that going in future videos.
Hahaha. Well she’s definitely right in this case, per usual. But I think it won’t be long before I’ll be able to justify a little CNC to make my templates. The hard sell is that my friend Warner I mentioned in the video has a 10x5 shop bot and he could easily cut out what I need. I just need to plan well enough to have them all designed first.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Thrilled you’re enjoying it. I’m still a newbie so I bet over time those subscribers will find me. Feel free to share if you know others who might like them.
Great video. I really like your style and pace. The way you executed and displayed your project design and drawings set you apart. Looking forward to more content.
Very handsome..removing the live edge added a contemporary appearance and the contrast between base and top is my favorite aspect..unsure why red oak is dissed, as your final product will enhance any room..thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m mostly joking about red oak but it’s an easy species to pick on as I really do think the color is far less appealing than many others and requires a lot of extra work to make it look great, versus just putting a clear finish on it.
Another great video! I picked up my tiny Delta bandsaw for $40 and I really like it. Video quality is great and so is the commentary. Oh and you can use the carving disc to take off some epoxy.
Thanks so much! Yeah I love my little band saw. $50 used and a $20 Timberwolf blade and that thing works great for little things like that. I’ll remember that next time I need to clean up another big epoxy mess! 🤣
Another solution to the raking live edge would have been to flip the top over so that the narrow edge was to the top & then cut the two end edges to a similar angle, so you'd only see a fine line when looking down
Hi! Yes that is a good consideration. I thought about it for that exact reason but since I had screwed that plate earlier into the bottom there were still some pretty deep holes that would have shown up, and the bottom was also not as attractive as the top. Well as attractive as that even was for red oak.
Three thoughts: 1. The dramatized sobbing at 15:19 cracked me up. 2. I agree, it was ugly and the final product was better, beautiful really. I think this has to do with the direction of the bevel on the natural edge, which made it look heavy. Reversed, as in the final table, it looks lighter, more in line with the floating design. 3. Why do you bad mouth red oak? A suggestion for the bottom would be to ebonize the red oak with iron, instead of staining. This can look quite spectacular, and be quite black while still maintaining a clear sense of grain. Can be done with red oak and rusty nail water, or you can be more precise and get deeper black by combining a tannic acid pre-wash with a ferric chloride solution stain. You can fine tune the concentration of those two to fine tune the outcome.
Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughts on #1-2! I think you’re right about the direction of the live edge. As for red oak, I’m mostly joking but generally I just don’t like the pinkish color. It’s a fine wood to work with, but there are more enjoyable species in my opinion, and if I’m going to be inclined to alter the color, I’d generally rather pass and use something that’ll just look good with a clear finish. I’ve experimented with ebonization and tannic pre-wash before and it’s a lot of fun. Should probably mess with it more. Thanks again!!
Haha. I see what you did there. But I also agree with you. I think it was also that it only was live edge on one side. It felt forced instead of natural to treat it as a live edge. Either way I love how it turned out (and so does the happy customer who bought it) 😁! Thanks for watching too!
I enjoyed your video. I picked up a 10 ft by 27-in or so live edge slab of purple heart. I had all these wonderful ideas for a waterfall coffee table. Miters are cut, the figure in this piece is gorgeous. I absolutely hate the way it looks! Sitting here looking at it waiting for some inspiration to make it something beautiful. Live edge might not be my thing.
Ah man sorry to hear that. It’s pretty gut wrenching to put that much work into something only to not like your own work. I hope you find that little tweak that could make the difference.
That comment is so you can use it to help convince your wife. We all know the hardships, anything we can do to help each other out when it comes to convincing wives should be done without hesitation.
Im sure we could all create a second account or three to help boost the comments about you needing a CNC. Im pretty sure that its just sophisticated enough that she wont catch on to us.
Hahaha. To be fair she isn’t opposed to having one. Just that it’s another big learning curve and time investment. But then again so is making every routing template by hand, so…I guess right now we’ll enjoy “walking before running”
Great video man, loved the design breakdown at the beginning
Creativity is all about going with the flow and yes, sometimes pivoting. Good recovery. The table turned out better in the end.
I wholeheartedly agree. Nothing has taught me more humility and flexibility than experiences like I had in this project. Thanks for watching and glad you like the end product!
Thanks for your (brutal) honesty. I have been there, buddy.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice build and video. Fun to see a local Triangle woodworker. Keep it up!
Oh hi! Yup I’m in Durham! Thanks for watching.
Love the jokes and that you show your mistake. They make me feel funnier and that I'm not a alone with mistakes
My friend learning to accept your mistakes and learn from them is the best skill you can learn in life and as a woodworker. It’s humbling but I think makes us better people in the end. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic end results. Love the under bevels and floating top design !!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Seeing the quality of your video and woodworking, I was surprised how small your channel is (currently). But I‘m sure that‘ll change soon enough. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for saying that! I just got started posting videos last month so I’m still a brand new channel!
Good luck on full time furniture making TH-cam super stardom! Make quality pieces ( as this one is ). Look forward to following your work and success.
Thank you! This was a fun one and I’m happy with how the final product turned out. I’ve got some really fun ideas for 2024! 🙌
You made the right choice. Good end product. In the beginning of the video with the epoxy. Kinda short cut it. I do the same. Trying to break that habit cuz it just takes longer to fix it. Thank you for your content. We need more when you get the chance.
I really appreciate that. And yeah I won’t be doing that again moving forward! Haha. More is coming I promise.
That turned out great. Thanks for sharing your creative journey.
Thank you so much. You’re welcome. Creativity is only fun because it’s a journey for sure.
Great table, love it. Thanks for putting the speed when using the bandsaw as many don't and it's misleading to beginners how long it actually takes 😊
Yeah absolutely. It can definitely be misleading and make it look like band saw cuts are a breeze. Which they’re not bad really unless you’re resawing which takes waaaay longer. Thanks for watching!
Great job man, excellent editing and presentation of the table as a whole. Love the B-roll in the beginning. Keep it up! 💪
Thanks Matt!

Much improved and well executed. Enjoyed viewing your process. One subscriber closer to your CNC !
Haha thank you! Yeah it turned out okay in the end. Now if I can just sell it! 🤣
Nice work!
Thanks!
Great seeing you out there living your dream! The projects are amazing - keep it up!
Thanks so much! Fun stuff coming in 2024!
It turned out so awesome! Great video, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you Kait!
Beautiful table!
Thanks so much!
you're doing a great job. Keep going, love the video and the jokes. Wives can be a pain but usually are the best voice of reason, lol.
Hahaha. Well she’s definitely right in this case, per usual. But I think it won’t be long before I’ll be able to justify a little CNC to make my templates. The hard sell is that my friend Warner I mentioned in the video has a 10x5 shop bot and he could easily cut out what I need. I just need to plan well enough to have them all designed first.
Keep going! Crushing it! You’re a natural. Great storytelling. Your personality comes through so well. Well done!
Thank you! I’ll keep em coming.
Found you from your sawhorse video (yes, I did the sawhorse puzzle) and so far your videos look awesome. Look forward to what you make!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I hope you enjoy those plans, too!
I really enjoy your videos. Great builds and the editing is awesome. You should definitely have more subscribers.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Thrilled you’re enjoying it. I’m still a newbie so I bet over time those subscribers will find me. Feel free to share if you know others who might like them.

This video is fantastic! The animation in the beginning is so good. Crushing it mate 💪🏽

I think the reason why you hated that slab is the downslope of the life edge. At least, that is my take on it. I like uplifting stuff.
Haha. I see what you did there. But I also agree with you. I think it was also that it only was live edge on one side. It felt forced instead of natural to treat it as a live edge. Either way I love how it turned out (and so does the happy customer who bought it) 😁! Thanks for watching too!
Final version looks much better than the live edge IMHO 👍
Thanks so much! I think so too!
I want to make a TH-cam furniture channel. Guess I better be exactly like Four Eyes Furniture too!
Hahaha. I love those guys. Thanks for the compliment!
My english is bad and i watch this video with audio translation but your joke is cool.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad I could make you smile.
Nice work, great design
Thank you! 🙌
Nice vid
Thank you!

One step closer to a CNC, only if there's more hand tools too 😊
Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind! I enjoy my hand tools - just need the right moments to put them to use! Thanks for the sub!
Thank you so much!
Subscribed and liked. 🙂
🙏
Dude… keep going. Great videos/content… subscribed and looking forward to your next video.
I really appreciate that. I’ve got another one in the pipes. Just need to grab time to finish editing. Thank you.
We would enjoy it more if you had a CNC. Im pretty sure your subs would triple if you had a CNC.
That comment is so you can use it to help convince your wife.
