    I realize this is from several years back but my son asked for a 6’ long by 4’ wide L shaped computer/homework desk. His only other request was that it didn’t shake. 6 castle joints later and you had better not run into it because whatever body part hits it will lose. Extremely strong joint. Thanks for the education.

      And another year on and I'm about to use 8 of these joints for a new worktop. I'm fairly certain it's going to be pretty solid.

    Great job on the joints and the video. Just amazed at how all of these commenters are all experts on how they would have done it just a little better, however, I cannot find a single video from any of them showing me how they did do it better. Again, good work.

      So true...This is a strong, pretty joint that everyone should try just for the heck of it. The key is in the measuring and cutting. No matter what tools you use to get the job done, the age old advice to “measure twice and cut once” is imperative. In this case you might even want to “measure thrice and cut once”.... it couldn’t hurt.

    This table arrived well packaged and on time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

I can tell you are production aware but skilled enough to achieve precision. Doing it fast, precise and once.

    🌲🍀A quality video, showing a nice high quality fitting castle joint. I liked that you talked about the joint not being too tight so as to avoid future cracking & breakage. The round overed edges look nice, but back in the day, they didn't have powered sanders not even sandpaper (or glue), and they would have used (l know, you know this) a block plane, or more likely a chisel to break the corners, and probably pegged this joint, or used a wedged "tusk" or "through" tennon joint to hold it all together. But a thumbs👍for a concise, very informative table saw & sander video😎🍀🌲.

    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

    That's a great quick castle joint. If the cross beams were narrowed where they go through the legs to leave a shoulder that registered on the outside of the legs, it would greatly increase strength and rigidity from what you have here. It only costs slightly more time and complexity.

    To find the highest top point of your blade, always look for the arbor. You can use peek through the top opening (where the blade comes out through the top) and see the arbor and you can use a square to help you aim a straight line of view from the arbor up. Now imagine a vertical line (dictated by the square) from the arbor's center to the blade's top. That's your highest point on the blade. And if you align a tooth with that edge of the square, you will have the true height of the blade.
    Also, there are all kind of calipers specially made for blade height measurement.
    But I always use the arbore center and the top tooth methode.
    P.S.: You need to buy a clip-microphone that you can attach to your hat or t-shirt. The sound is not so good.

    Thanks mate, I stumbled across this video while looking for something else but I have always wanted to try this joint in a table. Your video, and the way you made it, meant it was really easy to follow along and now i'm *almost* confident I can try it myself. Anyway, you've got a new subscriber, cheers mate!

    I would add its best to use a joiners square to set the rails for cutting the half lap. You could also use low strength double sided tape to stick them into a stack. Do all eight ends in two runs.

    I was thinking about these cuts and realized they could be done on one set up on a band saw with a fence. As the posts would be horizontal and supported on a table extension. This would be much safer.

      I've cut this joint on 6x6 posts for a swing bed, with a circular saw and chisel. But if i had a band saw that would have made the job easier and way faster.

    It’s better to err on the tight side because it’s a lot easier to cut off than it is to cut on. Words from my father to live by.

    Thanks for sharing, I'm making a table saw and was wondering what kind of joinery to use. I'm keen on doing this one now, seems easy enough for a beginner like me. It reminds me of kumiko which I've been playing around with, and I love joinery that doesn't involve anything other than wood. You got another subscriber 🙂❤️
