👏👏👏👏
Your job is amazing you are a professional in this already. Lol see your videos made me so sad cuz I wanted to build my own table hahaha e no tools lmao
Most valuable thing I picked up in this video…. the straw/glue hack. Awesome!
Works great!!
You sir are a true craftsman...
I appreciate that!!
You are a really good builder. I am jealous of how easy you make the sprayer look to use. I bought one and had a terrible time. No good step by step videos of sprayer and compressor setup. I’m 58 years old and just learning how to Diy.
Yea it can be quite a learning curve. I always practice on cardboard or scrap wood when first spraying a new product
I got a plan to build an outdoor dining table for 8 people, so your instruction are of great help. Thanking you from New Zealand.
Thanks for watching!
🎉🎉 You make good furniture, I am going to buy all your plans because I want to make some for my house and I have learned many things with people like you. My respects. Thank you.
Very nice job. You are right. Building farmhouse style furniture is pretty easy, but giving it that professional look is a bit more of a challenge. You make it look easy.
Very true, thank you!
another awesome build! love the color of that stain...
Me too! I was dreading it since it’s maple, but turned out pretty good!
ello Jon good job you are a person who makes a living doing many things I like looking at people like you I wish you the best one question what is the cost of a table like yours
Beautiful project and fantastic video. I’m sure your clients will love both. 👊😎👍
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Nice. Those offsets with the joinery are a real plus. Thanks for the insight. Usually spend too much time fussing over the alignment when this looks better anyway. God Bless.
I agree! Thanks man 👊🏼
That table and bench are absolutely perfect! Amazing job.
Thanks a lot! 🙌🏼
Love the design, not only from a personal perspective, but also as a woodworker :)
Thanks man!
Simple design but very well executed build. Turned out beautiful.
Thank you! 👊🏼👊🏼
Very nice! Good pace to the video, not too slow, not too fast.
Good to hear, thanks!!
That is a beautiful table, John. Well done. Simple in construction and stunning in appearance.
Thank you!!
Awesome work. Will be purchasing your plans soon. Need to build a 40 inch wide 96 long dinning table
Thanks for watching!!
Once again, beautiful work!
Thank you!!
Love it. Your precision is mesmerising
Thank you!!
Thank you for showing how a farmhouse table can doesn't have to be rustic!
Absolutely!!
Beautiful table! Love the idea of using that foam so you don't cut into your work bench too. I may need to steal that one. LOL
Really nice design, John! Using dowels to align the top during glue up (and in general), is a lot of work but the results speak for themselves! Pretty impressive for one of the cheaper doweling jigs. Love that grayish stain. Tempted to get your plan to make a scaled down version (3x5) for my patio.
Thanks man! There’s actually a pretty big overhang here all around the top, so you may be able to just keep the base dimensions the same for a 3x5 top!
First time visitor from the UK. Magnificent work and loved the finished product. I think I need to subscribe to your channel 🙂
I appreciate it!
I hope your client liked the table. Beautiful. Will last forever.
Very nice work sir. I bought some 4 x 4 to practice
love the table and the way you put the video together, made it look really easy. nice work John
Thanks for wise tips about the drink straw and the offsets. Liking the unfussy lines with a fine finish vibe on this. My hub is beyond glad that the too-long trended mashups of chippy/streaky/roughed surfaces is so over, especially in the upscale custom new builds/renos. I'll give the water-based Emtech a try on a mini shuffleboard. The traditional lacquer cures slow, is loads pungent for awhile, wearing a paper suit is a hassle, and sprayer cleaning after is a big bite👎. Haha...Easy Button😆!!!
Haha give it a try! Personally love using water based finishes for nearly everything now
Nice! I like the tip on the floor levelers I been using the corny plastic sleeves that come with them. I like yours better
Yea the felt is awesome for wood floors!
The ones you used looked really nice. Do you happen to have a link to them? I haven’t been able to find anything that nice only the cheesy ones. lol
Beautiful! Can’t wait to see it in the house!
Thank you!!
Keep ‘em coming! I love your designs! So much so I tweaked your queen bed design and built my 3 year old daughter’s “big girl bed” twin sized!
Awesome man!
Nice build! You've upgraded a bit from that old Ridgid table saw!
I poured my concrete kitchen countertops last summer, inspired by your ZForm video. I couldn't have done it without you! Love your stuff! Maybe I'll be able to replace my old ghetto Ridgid too some time soon 😂
Awesome man. I still have the Ridgid though haha. Hopefully not for long!
@@JohnBuildsIt I watched again and saw it in the background 🤣 It's pretty decent, all things considered but I'd love me a SawStop!
Keep the awesome vids coming, love your content!
That's cool work not a fan of painted wood but its a good color combo.
Thanks for watching!!
I wish my “easy” could duplicate your work. Beautiful table!!
Haha sure would be nice!
Wow, what a beautiful piece of work!
Thank you!!
Thanks, great video and exactly what I was looking for to help take my work to the next level.
Thanks for watching!!
You have amazing skill and a outstanding eye for detail 👏 keep doing what your doing I love your videos
Thanks a lot!!
Wow! The table turned out beautiful, great work!!
Thanks I appreciate it!
The beauty of this table and bench is really in the simplicity of the design! Great attention to detail. I appreciate how you use simple joinery methods, but do them well.. if I know a project will be painted, I try to use a very small chamfer on butt joints to help mitigate some of the inevitable cracking you mentioned earlier. Great build, John! I know the client was thrilled with the final product!
Thank you I appreciate it!!
Gorgeous table!
Thank you!
I like the use of the dowels for joinery. I have pantry drawers on the list in the coming weeks. I was going to use pocket holes but wonder if the wooden dowels would work…?
Of course!
Looks great dude! I love the Enduro Clear Poly. I use it on almost everything. It always turns out super nice.
Sure does! I may try out the emtech clear since the base turned out so well. It’s hard to change up something you know is great though haha
Good work. Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
A fantastic video on producing a great piece of work.
Thank you!!
I love my laguna planer Px16 and was going to get their jointer but came across a 10 inch felder hammer unit and its been awesome. Largely got the laguna based on your recommendations and illustrations of its use. Thank you
Nice! Everyone seems to have nothing but good things to say about Felder too
Molto bravo a volte la semplicità risulta essere molto elegante!
Beautiful table and bench. Just purchased plans. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Damn that's beautiful, great job. Super jealous of that shop too.
Thank you! 👊🏼
This came out awesome! I look forward to your videos man. They never disappoint.
I appreciate that!
@@JohnBuildsIt Hey im curious, what program do you use to make ur plans? I have had a few ppl ask if i make plans for my projects but unfortunately i just have the diagrams from my sketchup files.
Looks great! I might have to build one.
Thanks man!
I have a few Festool products that I love. But a good dowel jig and biscuit joiner I feel replaces virtually everything a domino can do, for a quarter the price. Beautiful table Jon!
Absolutely! Although I do have a domino and ets 150 on order.. if they ever show up! Haha
Nice to see how far you have come in such a short time. I still remember watching your Duststopper comparison video as I was exploring that topic for the first time! One topic suggestion would be your setup for the spray booth in the middle of your garage and if you ever get over spray outside of the booth or if it does a really good job of containing it all. I have a new garage workshop that needs to be a home for cars too and I really want to try spraying but am paranoid about not containing it even though I know that the droplets that don't hit the target dry fairly quickly.
Yea I need to! They’re ZipWall poles though and there’s a link in the description if you want to check it out. Really quick to set up! But yea any overspray for me just turns to dust before it lands on anything
@@JohnBuildsIt Thanks for the reply! That's what I assumed you were using. I will wait for the video if you ever get to it, but would be interested about the setup, do you need to worry about ceiling or just 4 walls and the floor? Also the fan / filter placement, etc. I know there are other videos on the topic but how quick you can set it up, knock it down, and any tips or tricks you have learned along the way would be very helpful!
beautiful. great craftmanship. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
This is amazing ! And actually the exact table, base, color/tone I want. Your tools are also top notch!! Where are you located ?
Thank you! Northern Indiana
Beautiful table. Nicely done.
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you for not using construction lumber.
Thanks for watching!
John that finish though. It looks like glass. Very nicely done!
Thank you! Good products make it easy!
Nice! About to build a hickory table for my sister....was debating metal legs again, after seeing this I might try wood legs this time!
Can’t wait to see it man, love hickory!
Looks fantastic. Consistent work my friend
Thanks! 🙌🏼
Thank you John - Great Craftmanship! I just purchased your plans - BTW, has anyone ever said your side profile resembles Jonathan Toews from the Chicago Blackhawks. 👍
Haha I think I actually have gotten that one other time!
Awesome Job John, this table is absolutely beautiful! I built a dining room table at the beginning of 2020, but thinking Ill sell that one and make this one! Thanks for the inspiration!
Haha awesome, thanks for watching!
Amazing work and very informative! Will subscribe!
I appreciate it!
Can you do a video on your "paint booth" setup. I have to spray all my projects outside which leads to wind deflection and extra sanding. Your setup seems like it's way better
Yea I need to! It’s just ZipWall poles though. Really quick to set up, definitely recommend! amzn.to/3uBbiAV
Turned out real nice. Enjoy watching different ways to glue up. Love that equipment you have, looked up those Laguna planers. Would love to have a 20" one day. Keep the videos coming.
They’re quality machines for sure!
Gorgeous work! I've used the Rockler dowel jig for joining boards and can say it's definitely worth buying. I only have the 3/8" jig and it's definitely sufficient, I just have to use more dowels. I like using the Kreg face clamp to hold it in place.
Thanks man! I’m definitely a fan of dowels. Cheap and easy!
Looks awesome, came out so great! Inspiring work, thanks for posting!
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Great job! Always a pleasure to watch!
I appreciate it!
Beautiful table !! I really love the finish.
Thank you!!
Love this table want to try out using dowels just like you did. Question for on the 45 degree braces on the table legs…do you think just using dowels in place of the screws would problematic? Thanks for the video!
Nope 👍🏽 just kind of awkward to get clamps on all 4 pieces at once
Great job John! I always get inspired to get into the shop to make something after watching your videos. Do you have a link for the adjustable padded feet? cheers!
I got those locally at Menards if you have one in your area. Biggest I could find on Amazon at the time was 1 1/4”
Unfortunately there’s no menards in Canada. Maybe Home Depot or Lee Valley
Fantastic job 👍👍
Thank you!
Beautiful work John.
Thanks! 🙌🏼
Just beautiful!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Really nice table.
Thank you!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!!
Amazing build!!👏👏🙌🙌❤️
Thank you!
Nice job 👍
🙌🏼🙌🏼
At 4:09, is that just a “make sure you drill straight holes” jig? Seems so simple yet useful.
Yep, works great!
Nice! I’m really happy with your build video and use of dowels. Planning on doing a very similar build with my son using 8/4 ambrosia maple from our own piece of PA woods. Can I ask what brand that doweling jig is? I Like its simplicity and accuracy. And it will save me buying a biscuit joiner for now.
Not sure which one you’re referring to but they’re all linked in the video description 👍🏽 I primarily just use the milescraft drill block
Looks great! When I first saw the thumbnail I thought to myself “I wonder if he knows there are more colors on the color wheel than grey and white” 😂😂 seriously though, looks fantastic! Probably heavy as hell too 😳
No kidding lol seems like these colors are all I do. All for different people too!
Awesome
Thanks!!
well done
Thanks! 🙌🏼
Fantastic. You’re have some the more expensive tools. If you got them use the, if not make do with what you have. Remember that great woodworking was going on before we had electric motors. One hint for future projects, a little blue loctite ob thos screw in leveling screws will keep them from changing over time.
Good idea I’ll mention that to clients from now on
Thanks for sharing !
Nice table Bro
Thanks! 👊🏼
Can those vanity plans be tweaked to make kitchen wall and base cabinets?
That is a beautiful well made table 👍🏼
I appreciate it!
Hi there,
Great work!
What color did you use for the tabletop?
Thank you!
I believe it was smoke grey or something like that, can’t remember exactly sorry! It’s from sherwin Williams though
Beautiful work, as always.
I appreciate it!!
Great job! Quick question. To save some money on a dining table for my house. Would there be a big downside in using basic 4x4’s for the table and bench base? Thanks!
Just make sure the moisture content is low before building with them
Great video!
Thank you!
Beautiful job man
Thank you!
Great build but if you don’t mind asking what state you in and the type of wood you used and what is the wood moisture content for the table top thanks for sharing
Indiana. The maple was about 9-10%
What are you using to create your “spray room”. That looks ingenious and a perfect solution for my needs. Thanks in advance.
They’re ZipWall poles. Link is in the description. Worth every penny, super quick to set up!
Nice work
Looks great thanks for sharing
Thank you!
beautiful, as always!
Thank you!
Well done!
Thanks!!
Nice Build!
Thanks!
@JohnBuildsIt I watched your video and liked the design. I purchased your plans and am in the process of building this table (with a slight deviation as I'm doing breadboard ends as well) for my son and daughter-in-law. Quick question.....do you have a link you can provide for the adjustable leveling feet you used on the bench? I've scoured Amazon and can only find small diameter feet with like only 2 inch pads.
I bought these locally at Menards if you happen to have one in your area?
I just recently found out about you and love your work. following you on youtube and tiktok and just ordered your new push stick. Im curious what size your shop is? Keep up the great work and videos!!
I appreciate it man! My shop is 24x32
