Shaun, over the past few months you've moved into my top 5 makers list. I sincerely appreciate your talents and sense of humor. Thank you for your time and effort in making content that is hugely helpful to our skills building and entertaining. All the best.
Really appreciate that! Means a lot when people are able to take things from my videos to help improve their own skills, and to be entertained at the same time. That is exactly what I am going for. Thank you!
What a nice table, and what a nice organic growth from idea to finished table. I love the human touch of forgetting the stretcher and then improvising to get it in.
@@shaunboydmadethis Yeah, I was going to say don't give up the day...well, you know. 🤣🤣🤣 (Oh, and awesome table.I would have a place for it had I not already built something...but may build this and replace it.)
Great video Shaun! Alder and Walnut look so great together. Love your idea to making crazy furniture that challenges the user.. even if a bit unpractical. Good calling card.
Love it! I watch your videos when I get bored making the usual stuff. You manage to make a point with what I would call a pointless design. Making fine furniture into toys ..... brilliant. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks for walking us through your design process. The table is very creative and your videos just keep getting better and better. I think you and Rainfall Projects are two of the most creative TH-camrs.
It is always fun when a piece evolves throughout the build process. Thanks for watching! And thanks for the reco on Rainfall Projects, hadn't seen his channel before!
Hey Shaun, great piece of furniture!! Here's a crazy idea... if you make this table double the wide you could make a fortune selling it to hipster restaurants, as they could accommodate parties or 2, 4, 6 people depending on how they slide the middle pieces. Hold on, just realized that is probably not a thing in the US (i.e. strangers sharing the same table). Would definitely work over Japan and here in Europe though. Let me know if decide to give it a go!
Apologies for my redundancy, but so glad to have found your channel and be along for the journey!!! The stuff that you come up with is Stupid, Dope, Fresh bud!!! And on da East Coast that's a compliment. Fantastically done bud, and the humor is on point too.... Until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Great build in the classic "form over function" - Shaun Boyd style! Good functional workaround on installing the stretcher, you had me screaming at my screen "don't forget about the stretcher!" but this works!
Very nice Shaun. Thanks. I'm working on a piece (a speaking podium) made of Brazilian walnut (embuya) and hadn't decided how to join the top to the leg. It worried me that the joint might ruin the piece. You gave me the answer. Your stuff is really good. I'v seen most of your content, all of the recent. Although your craftsmanship is evident it's notable how the quality of your content has improved so much. Of the things I look forward to that I enjoy very much is your stuff. Be well, good waves and fair winds. I tell you this because I have learned it's important to tell people how their life makes mine better. Blessings
Thanks Ray! That really means a lot! So many people have inspired me and helped me improve my craft over the years, that it is really awesome to hear when I have returned the favor. Really appreciate your kind words.
When the noise started on the garage door I totally thought that bad neighbor Jonathan Katz-Moses was about to make an appearance without being summoned by the magical funnel! Thank God it was only the actual wind! Lol j/k Jonathan! That is a pretty sweet table too!
A ton of fun and an amazing piece! My favorite part, though, was the mistakes and the improvisation to make them good. Makes me feel a little better, as someone far less experienced, when I have to do that.
Great job as always. I’m a fan of the aesthetically pleasing while challenging for the user type pieces. The literal sliding dovetail is a great idea and you executed perfectly.
Once again inspirational! Beautiful piece of walnut and love how you got the grain to flow!On your way to that 100k subscribers!Keep up the fantastic and thought provoking work.
Love the idea. Going to use that for floating night stands for a captain’s bed with drawers. Slide the nightstands out of the way to access the drawers underneath.
Shauny...can we call you Shauny? (I mean you called yourself that...but then I call myself things I wouldn't want others to call me) I feel your pain with having a SawStop and no dado blades. I just never think it's going to be worth changing out the brake and blades so I don't even bother. I picked up an old Craftsman tablesaw that I think I'm going to take the base off of and mount in the back of a new outfeed table that I will permanently put a dado stack in. Not sure if you could do that with your current table because Greg looks to be in the way. Way to go, Greg. Anyway, this is another great build, I really dig it. You are the good kind of crazy. Oh, and when I saw the title I literally started singing Simon and Garfunkel...sheesh.
I am cool with Shauny, I have been called that by people my entire life, so why stop now? And I totally feel ya, I actually have my old Delta saw out in a shed and have been thinking about doing the exact same thing ever since I got my sawstop. Would be so nice to have! It's one of those things I keep saying I will get around to at some point. Thanks, man!
C’est manifique! It reminds me of the sliding seat I used to have on my racing dinghy, I would look at it sometimes and wonder what else it could do - mr. Boyd you are the man
Awesome, beautiful table. Love that you forgot the stretcher and showed the solution too as well as the impromptu choices along the way. An idea on the stretcher sides, coulld you have put a tenon/key... maybe even dovetail key eh? sticking out from the table sides and then route slots the ends of the stretcher so it slides down into it... maybe the hidden sliding dovetails in the dovetail table is appropriate ;-)
Thank you! Really appreciate it! And yeah, Jonathan Katz-Moses and I had that exact conversation, but it really came down to a time to strength trade-off. Would be a cool little detail to do another dovetail in there, though!
Very interesting design and a clever idea that I might incorporate in some of my projects. I may be wrong (I hope) but I'm a bit unsure about that continuous grain since the overhang from the stretcher is parallel with the grain thus making it a weak spot. Also the sliding dovetail might change by wood movement making it too slack or impossible to slide. By having pieces perpendicular to the stretcher would eliminate both problems but wouldn't look as good. Form over function or vise versa.
Thanks, really appreciate it! I thought about all of that, but was worried that if I had perpendicular grain directions on the sliding parts, and my center alder section expanded/contracted differently from the walnut parts they might become tight/loose over time. With parallel grain direction they should expand and contract similarly throughout the seasons (hopefully). We will see how it goes, I will definitely keep my eye on it.
Really cool and interesting design. I love the idea of leaving it moving. As you were putting in the stretcher, I had a thought. You could put a domino in either side of the leg, then just cut a slot through the ends of the stretcher. It would be hidden in the underside of the table but would give you the additional strength of the side tenons.
That is funny, I had the exact same conversation about the stretcher with Jonathan Katz-Moses. I almost did it like that, but decided the bit of extra strength wasn't worth the extra time. Good thinking, though!
Beautiful project. Great use of negative space...literally! : ) Thanks for sharing the design process. Ideas may come as you build, changing the final design. Mahalo! : )
I know this is an older vod so I hope you see this but why did you move the fence to the opposite side to cut the Walnut pieces? Just curious. Thanks man. Keep up the good work. I like what you and Chris have going.

It’s funny, I’ve never seen any of these older videos, it’s nice to go through them
Thanks for checking out the back catalog!
I just found this video browsing through your channel. Love your absurdist design sense, there is real artistry there.
Thanks Karen!
I just love his style. Why are woodworkers so good at filmmaking?
That's a good question, and I don't know the answer, but I appreciate you saying that! Thanks!
Literally..,.another beautiful piece from Shaun Boyd. No one should be surprised.
Haha, thanks Jeff! Literally.
So glad I watched this today. A dovetail slot totally solves a problem I’ve been working out!
What a nice table, and what a nice organic growth from idea to finished table. I love the human touch of forgetting the stretcher and then improvising to get it in.
Really appreciate it! It is always fun when a piece evolves during the building process. Thanks for watching!
You had me at "The dovetail is in the details"....
Haha, if there is one thing I am good at, it is poorly crafted puns.
This needs to find its way onto a t-shirt.
Exquisitely Dad-jokian. Full marks. And that's a cool table, thanks!
@@shaunboydmadethis Yeah, I was going to say don't give up the day...well, you know. 🤣🤣🤣 (Oh, and awesome table.I would have a place for it had I not already built something...but may build this and replace it.)
@@ibdavidc Haha, completely agree! And send me some pics if you ever get a version of it made!
Very cool. I wonder if in time they'll get stuck or lose . But no matter this is very cool idea.
Yeah, we will see. There is enough space to keep it waxed, and I am hoping seasonal wood movement is consistent among all the pieces. Thanks, man!
This is awesome Shaun! It's pretty rare to see people use Alder. It's a really nice wood and grows like a weed out here!
Yeah, Alder doesn't get much love. It has great color and really nice, subtle grain. Cheap(ish), too! Thanks man, this was a fun one!
I come for the artistry and craftsmanship, I stay for the witty banter!
Maybe vice versa
Haha, either way, I appreciate you watching. Thanks!
Great video Shaun! Alder and Walnut look so great together. Love your idea to making crazy furniture that challenges the user.. even if a bit unpractical. Good calling card.
I agree, alder and walnut is an underrated duo! Glad you enjoyed the wackiness, Scott! I certainly enjoy making it.
The dovetail is in the details, BOOM, subscribed.
Haha, appreciate it! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Love it! I watch your videos when I get bored making the usual stuff. You manage to make a point with what I would call a pointless design. Making fine furniture into toys ..... brilliant. Keep 'em coming.
Really appreciate it! It is always fun to get a little weird with design, glad you dig it!

original and creative.....not sure if I'm talking about the video or table but I literally mean it.
Really appreciate that! I shoot for those adjectives with both my furniture and my videos.
Shaun Boyd well I’ve seen almost all of your videos and it’s literally always original and creative. Keep it up, oh great one.
Apologies for my redundancy, but so glad to have found your channel and be along for the journey!!! The stuff that you come up with is Stupid, Dope, Fresh bud!!! And on da East Coast that's a compliment. Fantastically done bud, and the humor is on point too.... Until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Haha, I'm good with an East Coast compliment! Thanks man, glad you dig it!
Your cheeky grin always put a smile on my face 🤭 Beautiful, crazy work as always Shaun 🥇
Haha! You have to take a moment to appreciate yourself every once in a while. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Sick as usual. You‘re pieces are really astonishing unique - so are your videos. Cheers
Really appreciate it! Always fun to try new things!
Smoooooth man, love it. Crazy unique but still beautiful as a piece of furniture.
Thanks, man! It was a fun one to come up with and build!
Great build in the classic "form over function" - Shaun Boyd style! Good functional workaround on installing the stretcher, you had me screaming at my screen "don't forget about the stretcher!" but this works!
David I wasn't quite screaming but I was like "how is he going to get the dominos in the end of the stretcher!?" 😬
Yeah, that was a typical bonehead move, but it all worked out in the end. Glad you dig it!
It's so sleek and unique! Love it, Shaun!
Thanks, Bruce!
I like it very much. Insight to the design evolutions, like the walnut changing to the outside, is icing on the cake.
Really appreciate it! This one had a lot of changes on the fly, so I wanted to talk about it in the video. Glad you enjoyed it!
NICE👌🏻......I Love your design and craftsmanship......SUBSCRIBED👍🏼.....All the way from AUSTRALIA🇦🇺
Awesome! Thank you!
Way to think outside the box Shaun. That thing is incredible and looks gorgeous.
Really appreciate it, Scott! This was a fun one to figure out.
Fan'n out over here! So good. Great concept, solid decision with the round overs...and the slide'n dovetail
The problem of selling that you show on here. Is you make it looks so easy. lol Great work. Love it.
Haha, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Haha, he is full of hot air, so it makes sense! Thanks for watching, glad you dig it!
That's really cool Shaun!
Thanks Jolien! I need to catch up on your latest videos!
I'm going to start calling Shaun Boyd Wright...😁 Your furniture in his house designs - lets just just say bad ass..!
Haha, I am good with that nickname! Glad you dig this one, it was a blast to make!
A ton of fun and an amazing piece! My favorite part, though, was the mistakes and the improvisation to make them good. Makes me feel a little better, as someone far less experienced, when I have to do that.
Right on, glad to hear it! Fixing mistakes and designing on the fly is often my favorite part, as well.
Whoa!! This peice is really next level!! I bet it would look great next to your stitched coffee table. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! That would be cool, but I don't think there is enough space for both pieces, unfortunately.
Great job as always. I’m a fan of the aesthetically pleasing while challenging for the user type pieces. The literal sliding dovetail is a great idea and you executed perfectly.
Thanks Scott! It is always fun to find that balance between crazy and still good looking. Glad you enjoyed it!
Mr boyd this table is sick you truly are an inspiration

@@shaunboydmadethis You are welcome my friend! you did a great job!
Superb Shaun. Great innovation in design and masterful execution. This has been added to my Boyd-inspired list of creations to build. First Class!
Right on! Thanks Andy! This was a fun one to come up with and build.
I love watching the process and seeing it evolve as you build. Great project. Beautiful.
Thanks Mark! This one definitely had a lot of changes on the fly, so it was fun to document that.
Duuuuuuuuuude!
Comedic genius. Pause for effect gold.
Keep it up mate, great vids
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Great project John😉
Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
-John
It is a true joy to watch you work. And you have a nice calming voice. Best wishes!
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!
You hit it out of the balpark, once again.
Really appreciate it! This was a fun one to build!
That was fun. Thanks for playing with a subject some people take too seriously.
Really appreciate it! I would go crazy if I couldn't at least have a little bit of fun doing this!
Genius! I love it! Can you answer a couple of questions (besides this one)?
What kind of walnut is that?
What finish did you use?
Black walnut and Makers brand simple finish.
Yep, what Phillip said. Thanks for watching, glad you dig it!
Love the design. Nice video if the build
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
Literally loved the video
Haha, right on! I literally really appreciate it!
"Challenge the furniture user"... haha.. love it with the cup falling through the table. Clever and funny as usual. Thanks Shaun!
We need a little challenge every now and then. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Such a cool piece!
Great to see your originality and humour (as always), mixed with a sprinkle of how-to.
Really appreciate it! It is always fun to try to mix everything together into an enjoyable video!
I came for the furniture.... But I stayed for dem JOKES THO
Haha, glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
Amazing, so creative. Also sick walnut wood.
Thank you! Yeah, I have a stash of some pretty amazing walnut, so I am trying to do it justice.
C’est manifique! It reminds me of the sliding seat I used to have on my racing dinghy, I would look at it sometimes and wonder what else it could do - mr. Boyd you are the man
Oh true! Maybe I will contact some small boat manufacturers haha. Thanks Joe!
Very nice piece that! Love it!
Thank you!

Shaun Boyd, please don't add danger to the furniture. The world is plenty unstable as it is.
Haha, that is very true! Maybe just a little bit of danger that I can control! I'll try not to go beyond that.
Shaun, beautifully conceptualized and executed😊love it
Thank you, Mahendra! Glad you enjoyed it!
I think it’s awesome! How were you able to attach the ends of the support piece with the walnut already in place?
I am really enjoying your videos, they are...........extra slidey.
Haha, that is exactly what I am going for! Thanks!
Amazing piece.
Thank you!
The dad jokes are strong with this one.
Also, great work! Giving me a lot of inspiration for my upcoming desk project.
This is my favorite piece from you yet
Awesome! Glad you dig it, I had a blast making it!

Amazing piece.I really liked your design choices.
Thank you! Really appreciate it!

I know this is an older vod so I hope you see this but why did you move the fence to the opposite side to cut the Walnut pieces? Just curious. Thanks man. Keep up the good work. I like what you and Chris have going.
Honestly, I don't really remember. I like to think there was a reason for it, but I have been known to do stranger things for no reason.
Cool idea. It came out great. 👍🏼
