I enjoy each of the videos I watch of yours. I am inspired by your sliding dovetails for tables like these and hope to try it in my new shop once I move in and get set up.
This is the first time watching your work. I stumbled across this when researching on extendable tables. This is top tier work, I have to say. As a fellow woodworking enthusiast, good luck man...
Awesome table joey ! I wonder how a guy with no prior experience can build the things you do . You are truly an inspiration to us guys who would only love to get to do what you do as our jobs . Your videos are so motivational and inspiring as well as the story you shared in one of your other videos on how you got started . Thank you ,I really appreciate the videos you make , please make more because I’ve already watch all the ones you already have made .
Your videos are great for an apprentice. Clever solutions to a problem if you don't have all the big machines and all that. People who have just finished school who are used to all the machines and easy ways may think that it's almost impossible working in the business without all that. This shows them different. You also seem to take on jobs that challenge you well done on that!
HI, I agree i have woundered how the younger ones get on in the real world with out all the newest machines. Yes i often here from clients that i was the only one confident in completing the job. truth is i always say i can do it , then spend a few nights staring at the wall trying to work out hot to do it!
Great design. I love that you were able to reuse timbers. I am jealous of you being able to do so much work without a dust mask. I love woodworking but it doesnt like me so I have to wear a dust mask all the time ... What a pain.
I've seen a few woodworkers come down with allergies to various species of wood due to over exposure (breathing the dust for extended periods of time). They had to stop working with those species and in some cases, had to give up woodworking all together. My dad developed an allergy to redwood and could no longer be around the dust without his throat closing up and choking him. He could handle it, and assemble projects with it, but no cutting or sanding. That's when he'd call me! Now, I think of him every time I complain about my dust mask. I love woodworking so much, I ware the mask remembering to be grateful I still have that option.
I have a giant mix of hate and envy about that amazing, long sliding dovetail for the table top. Wow, that is really impressive. Thanks for the video!! That is a really impressive build, imho.
While being true for basically every of your build videos, bit especially here i like seeing an fair amount and appropriate use of hand and power tools in combination. There s too many guys and gals trying to fit anything on the table saw or never ever touch a hand plane.
The beauty of Kauri is that it has a great strength to weigh ratio and resists rot better than other woods. I think is more like our Fir. I have never seen Kauri in the US. Nice table.
Wow! What a beautiful table and beautiful wood........ I am working on a maple table at the moment in the Netherlands. Hope to visit you one time in New Zealand, my birthland..........
Times have changed so much. In school during the 70s, we learned proper wood joinery with hand tools (the only power tool we had was a pillar drill) & the project over one term was to build a table. It could be a coffee table or a dining table depending on what money you(r parents) spent for the materials & what effort you were willing to put in after classes. I remember to this day whittling the mortise & tenon joints, using chisels which you also learned to hone & sharpen as well as hand saws on which you learned to set & sharpen all as part of the process. We learned to set up & use block & jack hand planes, sanding was all the hard work way with a block & sandpaper. The glue we used was Cascamite, a powder which you had to mix with water & the finish was polished linseed oil & beeswax. I bet millennials would not have a clue...
+David Brewer so are you making a judgment on my woodworking skills based off this one video or are you simply comparing what you learned at school versus what you assume I have learned?
Not at all, I think you did a really nice job & I enjoyed the video....well done. I was commenting that the younger generation do not get the chance to handle real tools with sharp blades (we frisk them & metal detectors instead) & raw elbow grease any more. It is a shame.
Absolutely Beautiful. What is the glue you are using on the 'Board'? Just bulk PVA rather than squeezing out of a standard bottle or something special like epoxy?
Have you had any issues with the leaf not fitting over time? I usually see bread board ends to help with expansion and contraction throughout the year.
Great work, absolutely superb. Do you think that design would work with Oak, in that I mean, the weight of the Oak, would it put too much pressure on the sliding dovetails and cause the table to splay/ bend?
Wasn't Kari wood also found in ancient deposits in NZ over the last couple of decades? I was unaware that it also grew and was harvested dur ring the last century
HI , yes they are still digging 50,000 year old trees up. it works quite differently than regular timber and is insanely expensive due to the harvesting costs. wind fall Kauri is still being milled.
cheers, I'm using a Cannon G16 which is basic by filming standards but has all the features I want. except a mic input. plus I added a very wide Macro lenses, plus some $60 editing software and your ready to go. go for it.
Almost great. The table must be very expensive. At this price i want to see clean joins, a smooth mechanism and an original design. The dowels from the leaf are not the best choice in my opinion, not at this level. It is massive, hard to transport so you may consider a way to make it removable.
Joey, I noticed sometimes you use the Kapex and other times the Makita chop saw; do you use the Kapex for cabinetry/smaller work or did you just purchase it later on? Also- how did you get to now? A bio video would be awesome- your journey and how you came to establish KingPost. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming!
Hard to believe this timber was used for floor joists. I suppose it was plentiful at the time. However what a great job you have done and no doubt it will last for many many years. How many coats of Oil did you apply ? Great video and keep them coming.........Brian.
+Paul McGee yea it works well, only would use a harder timber for the extension rails. The Kauri is too soft really to take the abuse on the sliding dovetails.
+jeff foster hi, not extinct but endangered. Almost all new timber available is wind fall or recycled. There are exspensive replanting programmes etc. However it's is also under threat from a new root disease.
that sucks to hear about that extinct tree. I'm from California and the only reason the sequoias arnt extinct is because you couldn't use them for lumber. everytime they cut one down it would hit the floor and explode into a million pieces
HI, the Kauri are not extinct yet, but mostly off limits to mill and now are under attack from a fungus. Yes i had heard that about the big redwoods, crazy! thanks for watching
The other day I found 4 old growth 8' x 14" x 3/4" quarter sawn, clear, redwood boards, without paint, right next to my truck at the local dump. I didn't hesitate to put them in my truck and save them from ending up as garden mulch. Old growth redwood was used everywhere here in northern california until it was gone. You can still find recycled, but you pay the price. It really is crazy and sad. They can replant it, but I wonder if there will ever be any lumber like the old growth.
I think you should read manual for your miter saw. You know, you should wait till blade stop spinning, till you put your hand underneath it to remove that offcut.
KingPost TimberWorks you are responsible for your finger and I'm fine with it. But you got tons of subscribers and watchers so in the way you are responsible for their safety too. Give good example or put safety disclaimer in your show as other guys on YT do.
Well done. Exactly what I was looking for. I really like how you left the long grain direction.
I love your channel. So much talent! My dream would to see New Zealand. I’m fascinated by the history and people!
Wow ! Absolutely stunning! All of it. The design, the process and the result. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

Hi from Canada Joey!! All I can say is that you are a very impressive craftsman. Thanks for sharing your work.
Cheers,
Curtis
One beautiful table! I am very impressed with you're work and techniques. Cheers from the US.
Cheers, and hi !
Beautiful table, nice to see the family involved at the end 🙂
Brill again. Love this simple elegant table.
cheers !
I subscribed because of the forgotten joinery video, but since then I have never regretted watching a video of yours. A sweet pleasure as always sir.
cheers !
Great table. Loved the storage for the leaf. Very clever.
cheers !

Extreme beautiful your job. Congratulations!
Great build and nice use of the Kauri.
cheers !

Leaf storage is pretty awesome!! I've never seen that- outstanding.
cheers, id never seen one either, so I thought it was time ha
Man oh man, this is an awesome table, tnx for sharing it!!!
Beautiful work as always! Thanks for sharing.
cheers
Fantastic work mate !! Amazing skills , I'm in Wellington and it's so cool to have such a talented guy in NZ...
thanks , if your up my way , knock on the door.
+KingPost TimberWorks I should be in Auckland at the end of July !!! Hope to meet you there.
I have a giant mix of hate and envy about that amazing, long sliding dovetail for the table top. Wow, that is really impressive. Thanks for the video!! That is a really impressive build, imho.
Haha , cheers
Beautiful wood, excellent job and wonderful result.
+Dani Amar thanks
Awesome Work. Cutting that leaf must have been nerve racking.
HI, yip! put that off a little while
While being true for basically every of your build videos, bit especially here i like seeing an fair amount and appropriate use of hand and power tools in combination.
There s too many guys and gals trying to fit anything on the table saw or never ever touch a hand plane.

Damn that is fantastic! Beautiful work 👍
thank you!
Wow! What a beautiful table and beautiful wood........ I am working on a maple table at the moment in the Netherlands. Hope to visit you one time in New Zealand, my birthland..........
HI Thanks, sure come and see!
Beautiful table it has become.
The extension mechanism is awesome because the degree nut connection I know of tabletops fix
cheers
Oh Joey, you make it look so easy.....
love the cross member construction.
cheers
Beautiful wood and job!
excellent build...great mix of methods used!
cheers !
Siehste geht doch! This is the right way, the only i think. Danke Joy. Nice work.
hallo Benny , ja danke, landete ich auch meinen Schreibtisch zu ändern up , danke.
+KingPost TimberWorks I would do it! It is simple to do and it is better for your furniture.
well done, beautiful functional table :)
This was a great build. Would love to hear some audio of some of the details on the drop leaf itself. Great job.

Awesome and great job man.
grande trabalho!
now I follow their work. I'm learning a lot . I work with wood as well. excellent job, man. congratulations!
cheers , thanks for watching !
Great job. thanks for sharing it
Impressive build !
thanks
Love the table 👍😊 and who the hell is thumbs downing the video? Great job👍😊wish my chisel skills were as good
beatiful.thanks..i will try the dovetail slider as drawers runners..
Beautiful table! Now you can eat from the floor :)
Ha , yea didn't think about that!
nice work !!!
Beautiful design.
Thanks for the reply, the wood is due out of the kiln next week so I will let you see the results....... if it’s any good 😃
Wow, really clever.
This is amazing! Any chance you have plans for it you might be willing to share?
HI, I don't really work from "plans" but do have a Sketchup file I could give you. it might help. just message me your email. cheers
good afternoon , which product u went on top of the table ?
Hi . I used Briwax Danish oil.
You can always tell a self-taught woodworker..... They employ the cleverest solutions..... Not brain dead memory fixes.
Absolutely Beautiful. What is the glue you are using on the 'Board'? Just bulk PVA rather than squeezing out of a standard bottle or something special like epoxy?
Just seen the post below...
Great job mate
Awesome vids love your work, curious to know what size dominoes where you using.
+Aaron Yorke i have the smaller machine so 10mm is the biggest I have.
Have you had any issues with the leaf not fitting over time? I usually see bread board ends to help with expansion and contraction throughout the year.
Great work, absolutely superb. Do you think that design would work with Oak, in that I mean, the weight of the Oak, would it put too much pressure on the sliding dovetails and cause the table to splay/ bend?
+adrian strudwick cheers yea I think oak would be ideal. As the kauri is a bit soft for the dovetail.
magnificient. I am speechless
Do you have the plans for this that you’d be willing to share?
Wasn't Kari wood also found in ancient deposits in NZ over the last couple of decades? I was unaware that it also grew and was harvested dur
ring the last century
HI , yes they are still digging 50,000 year old trees up. it works quite differently than regular timber and is insanely expensive due to the harvesting costs. wind fall Kauri is still being milled.
hi what do you mean about Danish oil, please
the bedst in hole would
nice work. thanks for the vid.
can i ask, how does your table saw perform with thick boards? does it run on a 10amp circuit?
Wesley Inglis hi, yip is 10amp and have not had a problem ripping on it. I do also have a good ripping blade which makes it easier on the machine.
Great project. Nice clean design. What do you use for a camera for filming? I'm toying with the idea of filming some of my projects.
cheers, I'm using a Cannon G16 which is basic by filming standards but has all the features I want. except a mic input. plus I added a very wide Macro lenses, plus some $60 editing software and your ready to go. go for it.
KingPost TimberWorks
Thanks!
Very cool 👍
EXCELLENT!!!!!!😀
Plans?
Almost great. The table must be very expensive. At this price i want to see clean joins, a smooth mechanism and an original design. The dowels from the leaf are not the best choice in my opinion, not at this level. It is massive, hard to transport so you may consider a way to make it removable.
does the middle section still fit well? I'd be afraid it would warp!
great video though!
+guitarchitectural I haven't heard from the client so I guess that's good news! Cheers
Love it great job
@5:31 *Shivers* There is little-no support on that end!
Nice table!
cheers mitch,
Very impressive, nice job!
Oh ok I know it well I used to work for Wharahine contractors.You would be off looking for deadfall kauri in the Dome valley
are you in new zealand nice table
so your a kiwi joey where are you from?
Workshop is in wellsford
muito show seu trabalho Parabéns
That kauri sure takes an oil nicely doesn't it?
yip , sanded this to 1000 grit, its glassy.
I like it.
Joey, I noticed sometimes you use the Kapex and other times the Makita chop saw; do you use the Kapex for cabinetry/smaller work or did you just purchase it later on? Also- how did you get to now? A bio video would be awesome- your journey and how you came to establish KingPost. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming!
Nice, very nice...
now that's impressive!
Hard to believe this timber was used for floor joists. I suppose it was plentiful at the time. However what a great job you have done and no doubt it will last for many many years.
How many coats of Oil did you apply ? Great video and keep them coming.........Brian.
Thanks , this was about 6 coats sanding between coats down to 1000 grit for the last .
good job!
Would you make it with the legs pulling apart still if you did (or have done) it again?
+Paul McGee yea it works well, only would use a harder timber for the extension rails. The Kauri is too soft really to take the abuse on the sliding dovetails.
beatiful wood. is it extinct or just protected? anybody working on replanting?
+jeff foster hi, not extinct but endangered. Almost all new timber available is wind fall or recycled. There are exspensive replanting programmes etc. However it's is also under threat from a new root disease.
How do yo fix a buttreyfly leaf table that won't line up any more
Awesome wood
wonderfull. thanks
手艺真不错！
我又学到了一招😃
that sucks to hear about that extinct tree. I'm from California and the only reason the sequoias arnt extinct is because you couldn't use them for lumber. everytime they cut one down it would hit the floor and explode into a million pieces

beautiful
Rub a good amount of wax to the dovetail rails and it will slide like butter!
Salut beau travail
merci beaucoup
Magnífico trabajo
good job
Are you using construction adhesive?
+Konstantin Köhler no, its epoxy.
I think you should read manual for your miter saw. You know, you should wait till blade stop spinning, till you put your hand underneath it to remove that offcut.
+DentargPL what do you do for a living? Then I can tell you how to do it.
KingPost TimberWorks you are responsible for your finger and I'm fine with it. But you got tons of subscribers and watchers so in the way you are responsible for their safety too. Give good example or put safety disclaimer in your show as other guys on YT do.
+DentargPL so will you follow me off a cliff too
amazing
you should have returned this wood back to the forest where they belong and ill need to know where so i can make sure you returned them to the land.
awesome!!
A butterfly leaf would have been nicer I think less effort when using the table
I'd give you 500 Australian dollars for that straight up.
добра робота...ЛАЙК
