Hi thanks for the videos I'm looking to try to start up kind of a home business maybe semi-retire been working in factories for 30 years going to give it a shot thanks for your videos
It puts a smile on my face when a man says..."Im proud of it" Take pride in your creations...it's the warm fuzzy you get after a job well done. Cheers 731 woodworks!
I have to agree with this too. I've only watched a few of Matt's videos, but he does a great job of not wasting a lot of time. One of the most annoying things I find on TH-cam is posters putting up a 25 minute video, but there is honestly only 10 minutes worth of content. I watched a video a week or so back and the poster had mentioned he needed a certain tool, and went to grab it, and it wasn't where he thought it was. So instead of editing this out, he left in the video while he looked through most of his cabinets and drawers. He knew it was waste of time because he edited that portion to be time-lapsed so it didn't waste "as much" time, but to me, if you have to time lapse something like that, it should be a good clue to just entirely cut that part out. I've never seen Matt waste time like that. He will time-lapse a portion of video and then do a voice over to briefly explain what is happening to save time, which I greatly appreciate. I think Matt does an excellent job of including enough information so most wood workers can complete the task well, and expresses this in a time-conscious manner.
Matt, I love your videos. They're all no nonsense. It is what it is. That's the way I like it. You're a good teacher. I just want to thank you for documenting what you do, and then editing your videos. I don't know much about editing, but I'm sure it's as time consuming as the build itself. I just want you to know, I truly appreciate learning from you. I'm a fifty two year old wannabe, but I'm trying.
New to wood work (started last week!) built a planter now looking for more inspiration and help and found your channel. I must say, out of all the communities on YT the wood work community seems really positive and helpful. Thank you for being part of it.
Thank you so much for the videos you're a true inspiration starting my first woodwork this week and its all because of your positive talking God bless you and your family keep the good work coming
I've used different poly's in the past, but the satin finish you use looked so awesome that I had to try it. I ordered it from Rockler as well as the table top fasteners you use. There isn't a harsh smell at all and after 3 coats (sanding in between with 320) it came out fantastic! Thanks for showing us that, and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to try the General Finishes topcoat.
If I understand this right you have this coffee table sold already. Do you take a deposit if so at what percentage. The Johnson wax is that just regular auto paste wax. Thanks for your videos you have taught me a lot. At 62 I was hurt on the job and was forced into retirement. I have decided to get into wood working and bowl turning. I watch everything you do 2-3 times because you never stop learning and even though I have worked with wood of some sort all my life I still have a lot to learn. Also thanks for not being afraid to tell everyone that you’re a Christian. This day and time Christian are under attack and a lot of us hide the fact that we are. I am now 66 and starting a new career so keep the videos coming and I’ll keep learning. Thanks your brother in Christ. Rick
Great Video. I did a 3 wood RV Table with Breadboard ends and Live edge. How you installed the ends is exactly how I did mine. Thank you for the video..
Heck ya brother you should be proud your work is incredible! On a side note your also an amazing marriage counselor without even knowing! With your videos you make it possible for guys like myself to create these projects to impress my wife the entire time taking all the credit telling her I just whipped it up off the top of my head when in reality it took me between 10 and 67 times of watching your videos🤣 All jokes aside thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us that may have the tools to do these projects but lack the knowledge! You have gotten a new and thankful subscriber.
I built the blanket ladder today. I sanded then lightly torched it and gloss poly. Looks great. I also made the sides to this table. Ended up having to get a miter saw. 12” Rigid compound sliding blah blah. Need a few supplies to finish up this table build. Thanks for the inspiration and clear instructions.
I love how the table came out! I just delivered a rustic dining table to a customer last weekend and they have already ordered a matching coffee table. I'll definitely be using some of the tips I learned in your videos. I used a satin lacquer finish for the dining table, but I didn't put any paste wax on it. I may try it with the coffee table to see how much better it comes out. Thanks for the great videos!
I just subscribed. I like you. You are relateable, show a lot, and tell your secrets. One of these days I will get around to building some of "your" projects. I have all the tools that you showed and more, so I'm good to go.
Nice table. I’ll be making table like this for my patio. At work we throw away 4x4x4 hard heavy woods used to strap heavy steel coils. I’ve been taking them home about 8 pieces a week. So far i have collected over 100. I’ll be using those. I should get into this business since i get woods for free!!!
Awesome man!! Love the way you use to distress that’s so simple! Can’t wait to get a miniature of these for night stands. Gonna do a headboard and maybe bed frame for our master bedroom. Super stoked to have found your channel!
This is definitely a project I want to try, its just beautiful. One question though, can you use pocket holes and screws for the breadboard ends instead of dowels?
@@731Woodworks ok. Thanks. You've inspired me to do more!! So far I've made CORNHOLE boards, serving trays and a custom for cabinet for my man cave. Definitely want to get into making tables. Quick question, do you have to add those bread ends to that table? Is it for a look or stability purpose? Also, for you have to use those brackets that you made the slots for or can you just do more pocket holes for all of it?
@@4everabeast79 Bread board ends are just for looks. It is not recommended to pocket hole the table top to the frame due to it restricts natural wood movement. There are some fasteners called figure 8 fasteners that don't require cutting slots.
I’m obsessed with this table. I want to make one for my son. I’m going to try to make most of his furniture when he gets his house. I want him to have hand made pieces.
Love this table, my wife loves it as well so I am in the process of building her one. I just have to build the top now, I had a to built but she didn't like the color of the stain so I painted it grey and she don't like that either 🤦♂️ so now I just build a whole new top.
Just finished the build on this table. Turned out really nice. I used everything you recommended and it went pretty smooth. My wife’s birthday gift and she loves it. Thanks for the video and advice. That paint sprayer did work well.
I just picked up a sprayer with your affiliate link. I've referred back to this video many times for a project i'm working on. I really appreciate your time and effort to share with us. Thanks a bunch!
I kind of enjoy sanding large panels by putting something good on the airpods and I find that it slows me down and steady. I basically go on autopilot for awhile. 😂 I usually start at 80 grit instead of starting with 120 and having to focus every here and there. I love your channel man! Just finishing a batch of Matthew Peech’s plans. Looking forward to building some of yours this summer!!!
just finished this table and brought it home. your info and descriptions were very helpful. good job. my table turned out great absolutely love the wax finish
I absolutely love your videos....super cool guy who just comes off a real genuine person. Thanks for the videos and yes I am so building that table for by baby girl (wife)....she will treat me so good...if you know what i mean. Lol....cheers..
Great project for my new home. I’m hopeful to close on the 28th of August, if all goes well with the closing. It should. I’m going to make the same tables except for just a little larger. The rooms are massive. The living room is 23x15 and the bedrooms are 18x16 and 18 x13. It’s got a very large basement/rec room downstairs 23x28 that I can use as my wood working shop and upholstery making station. You and some other you tubers have inspired me to create my own furniture seeing how easy it really is. And how much money it will save me too. I saved a lot by making my own kitchen cabinets in this house I’m in now. I did all the moulding myself too. No reason I can’t make my own furniture. Thanks
Beautiful table brother. You know what you can do? Put a divider between the top and the base, that way it can double as a bookshelf. I think people would like that. God bless.🙏🏻👍🏻
So glad you didnt pocket hole those breadboards because thats just asking for trouble. Now all you need is a biscuit jointer and start glueing your table tops together and brother your in business. Great video you have come a long way. Another tip after you sand if you will take mineral spirits put it on a rag and wipe down your top it will take all the dust off and it will show any imperfections before you stain. Just let it dry and then stain it wont hurt it at all
@@731Woodworks i have the makita one it is expensive but works great. However i had the ryobi one and it worked just fine. Also i have those same harbor freight clamps check out paul sellers video on retro fitting them i did it to mine world of difference
Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial and answer all the questions. I just made mine and wouldn’t have turned out this good without your guidance.
Wish could post pics, took what you did here and used parts to incorporate into my kitchen island turned out pretty good :) thanks for all the tips and videos!
I like your videos, they have great details. Found you via you tube algorithm recommendation and glad it did. As a time saver, plus I hate finishing wood, I've been using laminate flooring, that looks like a finish I want as furniture. For example "Pergo Seabrook Walnut 10 mm" or "Thornbury Oak 10 mm" found at HD. Lowes has some good stuff too. It should be at least 10mm thick. Which is about 3/8" thick. I would nail it to 1/4" or thick plywood, plus glue. Surprisingly laminate has some great durability qualities. Of course it may not be what your clients would like, but I use it for my home projects. My personal opinion is it looks really good with accent colors. Maybe other viewers would be interested. Thanks.
Nice looking table! I noticed someone complained about no room for expansion on your breadboard end.... unless you have significant temperature or humidity changes you shouldn't have a problem. So, inside in a conditioned house should be fine. One tip with doweling, sharpen the ends a bit will help if your board isn't flat and will give your glue a bit of space in its hole.
@@731Woodworks Just wondering, what would you consider to be "significant temperature or humidity changes"? I live in Ottawa, Ontario and am about to take a shot at this, we get some brutal winters and some muggy summers, should I be concerned or consider an alternative approach?
Good process with painting espresso brown vs staining under the white top coat because the staining will eventually leach into the white paint and turn yellow.
I was turned on to Johnson past wax when I was looking for something to put on my table saw surface to prevent it from rusting. I live in the southeast where its very humid in the summer and was having to sand the surface almost every time I used the table saw. It works like magic and makes material slide effortlessly across the surface and stopped it from rusting to boot...just curious if you've ever used a biscuit joiner on any of your projects? I ran across your channel today and love how you explain what your doing very well. I hate the ones that people say nothing in so you have to guess everything. and I think its killer that you've responded to comment from a year ago to one that was 7 hours ago. that shows you care about your subscribers so i became one today! Thanks for making quality projects
I totally agree! Fantastic job explaining everything! I watched a few of your videos this morning and you are very open and clear about how you do stuff which is what people are looking for! I never thought of finishing out a top coat with wax. I use wax as a finish option but I think I’m going to try that out! I would challenge you to experiment a little more in your sanding game. Don’t be afraid to get a courser grit sandpaper to start out with. I use 60 grit typically to do most of my material removal and then work 80,120,180,and 220. If a glue up shifts on me I’ll use 36 on a belt sander to level things off. Also you mentioned the grain popping when you paint it. That is because of the wet paint. Get yourself a spray bottle and mist your material between your last couple of high grit sanding or even if you are sticking with 120 for now, sand mist sand again and it will really smooth that surface out especially on pieces you are using a less intense top coat like oil or wax. Just some thoughts I wanted to share. I love your work and I love your videos. Not a lot of people like to share about pricing but that’s the biggest struggle new guys have, so great tips in that dept.!!
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is an amazing book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry course from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about carpentry, I think this is the finest book I`ve read so far. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
AWESOME information in this video as far as finishing. I am working on a computer desk for a co-worker and i plan to use your tip with the 1000 grit sandpaper. Thanks again.

This seams to be an annual event. Back again for a refresher course. Making another table for my grandson.
I think you have one of the finest woodworking channel. Great pacing. Enough instruction but not redundant. Great choice of music.
Wow. I appreciate that

I love those stove tops, believe me I can use all the extra space I can get
I've seen others building a similar table but yours is, by far, the only one that looks like high end furniture.

Thanks for making quality projects
Thanks. I haven’t used a biscuit joiner yet. I use paste wax for the same thing too!
I totally agree! Fantastic job explaining everything! I watched a few of your videos this morning and you are very open and clear about how you do stuff which is what people are looking for! I never thought of finishing out a top coat with wax. I use wax as a finish option but I think I’m going to try that out! I would challenge you to experiment a little more in your sanding game. Don’t be afraid to get a courser grit sandpaper to start out with. I use 60 grit typically to do most of my material removal and then work 80,120,180,and 220. If a glue up shifts on me I’ll use 36 on a belt sander to level things off. Also you mentioned the grain popping when you paint it. That is because of the wet paint. Get yourself a spray bottle and mist your material between your last couple of high grit sanding or even if you are sticking with 120 for now, sand mist sand again and it will really smooth that surface out especially on pieces you are using a less intense top coat like oil or wax. Just some thoughts I wanted to share. I love your work and I love your videos. Not a lot of people like to share about pricing but that’s the biggest struggle new guys have, so great tips in that dept.!!
I appreciate the tips!
Awesome job like your videos
This guy is f’n AWESOME!
I appreciate that
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is an amazing book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry course from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about carpentry, I think this is the finest book I`ve read so far. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
Love your projects!
Thank you
Great build matt! I'm going to build the coffee bar next, but it's going to be an entry way table.
Sounds great!
AWESOME information in this video as far as finishing. I am working on a computer desk for a co-worker and i plan to use your tip with the 1000 grit sandpaper. Thanks again.
👊🏻
Great video all around. Awesome build.
Thanks
