Sled. Man, I don’t know how you keep building so many beautiful pieces at the rate you do. It’s impressive dude and I really admire your dedication to making these videos for us. Really impressive design and excellent execution as usual. Please don’t stop posting, you’re one of the best woodworkers on TH-cam.
Miter Gauge. Long time fan man. Thank you for being one of the most consistent up-loaders on here and staying true to the craft. People like you and my wife pushing me have helped me make the plunge to create this channel. I’ve been watching you on my other channel -11BRAVO- for awhile. I’m currently in the process of figuring out how to edit videos and will jump start my channel with a shop tour. Thanks for all you do!
That’s awesome, I love hearing about how the work inspires others. I hope you have a ton of fun with TH-cam! I love it and I have blast sharing my experiences with you guys. Thanks for the support!
Just stumbled accords your channel, and I think you’ve joined bourbon moth as my favorite woodworking channels. Big fan of your work so far, and I love the dad jokes 😂
Miter. That may be the best looking table leg I've ever seen. Absolute stunning. Would love plans but they would need to have the template files included so I wouldn't completely botch the cutouts and curves.
SLED! Beautiful and well Designed. With that said you are going to hate those legs, those exposed joints are going to stay dirty. But again that is an absolutely beautiful piece. True Artistry.
Miter gauge, an absolutely beautiful table you’re attention to details is so amazing and the execution of it all is the best. You are a true artist and craftsmen keep up the amazing work.
Sled. For me being a novice (1.5ish years in) it is the most comfortable and consistent way for me to make square crosscuts, or any other odd cuts that I can make a jig for. By the way, the amount of useful info and tricks in this video has earned you a sub. Incredible work.
I can defiantly understand that, sleds feel a lot safer when your starting out and using what you're comfortable with is important. Welcome to the channel!
Sled. I have yet to invest in one of those fancy miter gauges. Still just have the one my table saw came with, which I've never actually used. I make mostly small parts, so the sled is ideal for me.
Sled / I don’t have either only use hand tools not because I’m a power tool snob just because I’m a weekend woodworker with only a 6x12 shed to work in.
Nice build. Creative joinery. I used to use a sled almost exclusively, but recently bought a high quality miter gauge and find it's now my go to. Super accurate. Larger depth of cut. Well done!
Just a quick tip, on rip cuts (excluding skim cuts) only leave about 1/16” of blade above the work. This greatly reduces the amount of sawdust that comes off the saw blade while making the cut a bit safer. Not sure why but it works!
I’ve always gone right below the gullet to help cool the blade. But I’m all for better dust collection, so I’ll have to give just the tip another shot.
Sled mostly but honestly I don't use either that much since I prefer to use my miter saw for cross cuts. I don't like changing blade on my table saw and I usually leave a rip cut blade on my table saw.
I use the sled more, but miter gauge frequently depending on the size and whether there's an angle involved (even though I've got a miter sled). Great looking table, can't wait to see if you build some chairs to match. - Chris
I use a sled, unless I'm cutting dados. I really enjoyed watching you build this. So many popular channels have turned to tool reviews and product placement. It's really enjoyable to watch someone with great skill build something like this table.
Sled or gauge, I think it depends on the situation. If you are working with small pieces and/or you need to have support on both sides of the blade the sled is the best choice. If you are working with a thick board and need the all the height of the blade you can get and having support on the opposite side of the blade is not needed then, the gauge the better choice. I like the legs coming through the top. Very cool. Keep up the good work. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.
Well done sir. i think it would have been a cool challenge to find a way to make those legs removeable with that same joint. Maybe a angled bolt and threaded insert from the bottom of the stretcher upwards into the leg? Very cool design.
Miter gauge most of the time - my sled has become mostly used for making smaller cuts, or one's where a perfect 90 is most important. As usual, a stunning project!
Miter gauge - wow, this was a cool project. I have been thinking about building a table for my daughter and this one looks perfect, I'd love to see plans. Great work, you make it all look so easy!
Sled. I love the whole theme and of this video. You got me spiting my drink out with a few jokes too man. I absolutely love this project and I think the base is a very clever design. I saw another comment that called you one of the best on TH-cam and I have to echo that. Great job, it’s stunning.
Thank you so much! Yeah, the base was tricky to square up and align but turned out great. Woodworking has a funny way of making you spend a lot of time on parts people will never see.
Miter gauge.... if the after market Incra one I bought would fit it would be actually used... but the slot in my table saw is not a standard size unfortunately. Beautiful design, great build, awesome video. If only you could put some more puns and jokes into your videos 😄
Mitre Gauge now that I have a good one. I have the Incra Mitre and it changed everything for me. Before that, I relied heavily on my sled which was always just a smidge off and very frustrating. haha
Miter gauge…I’m a sub par woodworker at best but I like my Harvey miter gauge and my festool stuff! Even though it doesn’t make me any better I still suck…but I look good doing it!🤣 Great job on the table absolutely awesome joinery too!! Fantastic job bud!
Sled: because I’m only using a job site saw and oversize sled provides reference when you start off the table. I did improve stock miter gauge by piening the edges for a better fit. The table is awesome would love plans pls
Miter gauge - haven't built a sled for my current table saw and don't really have storage space for one anymore. I've been following you on Instagram for like 2 years but never watched a video (knew about your channel though). Great skills, nice design and I love your voice and humor! Subbed :D
Sled. I mean... If I had a table saw. Really beautiful work. I mean it seriously. Just wondering, why bother so much on the underside of the table although no one will see it? Is it only for the challenge? Again, keep up the good work 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That’s such a great question. I think woodworking has a lot of unsung heroes and one of those is joinery. The table base in this case needed a lot of support since the legs are only secured by the birdsmouth joints. So I wanted to make sure the base structure didn’t rack and was rock solid. Thanks again for the great question and I’m glad you enjoyed the build!
Hello! To use a MITER GAGE or to use a SLED??? Right now I don’t have either one. And I’ve been wondering if a high quality miter gauge such as Incra would do everything a sled would do without taking up a large space in my shop. I’m open for all the pros and cons of each to help me decide. Have you received enough requests for the plans for your table? I would be honored to build it and give it to my daughter as a wedding gift. Thank you for your builds.
Funny enough, on the next video I'll show you guys a new tool that is both a miter gauge and a sled. So make sure to check that one out. I did end up making a plan for the table, here's the link: bit.ly/diningtableplan And thank you for watching!
Miter guage, I really like the look of the exposed legs. Does this address the seasonal wood movement? I am new and i seem to struggle with this concept. thanks for hte videos
Neither, hand tool only for now haha. Any long term concerns with having the whole weight of the table just supported by the dominoes? They’re not small but they’re not that big either. A lot of tables have weight onto the top of the leg directly into the ground. Anyways awesome build
I guess I should have added another option for that haha. But no I’m not worried about it at all. The birdsmouth joint alone has a lot of surface area for glue so the dual floating tenon make for a pretty robust joint. With that said I wouldn’t jump up on the table and do a jig or anything but for normal wear and tear there’s no reason for concern. And thanks man!
Sled, because I don't trust my miter gauge. That's a beautiful table, dude. Those bird's mouth joints kinda blew my mind... I suspect you edited out a lot of setup and/or test cutting. I also prefer hand-breaking edges, because nothing good ever happens with a router on a component that's 98% complete, right? Question for you: in a comment below, you mentioned your Incra miter - would you recommend it as a replacement for my included Powermatic one that's not trustworthy for particular angles, is it cost-effective, and what's the 'worst' thing about yours?
Thank you! Yeah there was a few tests before filming to make sure everything was set up correctly. But honestly some of those tests are in the video, I try to film everything in case something fun happens haha. I do like my Incra miter gauge but it is kind of tedious to set up. I honestly rarely keep it set because I have to move the setting for almost every cut. I’m thinking about getting the Woodpeckers one, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I think either would be fast improvement though.
Miter. I love this table. The design is amazing, complicated, and elegant. However, the gap between the top and leg is a looser for me. It's a table, with food. That gap is going to attract crumbs and spills. Nope, nope. Beautiful though.
Great video and build, but just a little constructive criticism, I recommend you allow a few pauses, especially if you make a great joke. Like the ladder joke was hilarious but your transition after was too short so I didn’t have time to laugh. That’s the one thing I noticed, again great filming and build, you earned my subscription, fix learning to use the pause in speaking and you are one of my favorites. Again loved the video overall. Keep up the great work. This was my only complaint, which I’m my opinion is so nit picky
Thanks for the feedback and welcome to the channel! It's always tough to tell what jokes are going to land and which are not but I try my best haha. Glad you enjoyed the build!
I’ve used both many times. But if I had to choose one, it would be Rubio. It leaves a more natural look, and in my experience it is more durable in the long run.
Quite alot of end grain glue joints. Not a super sound design compared to tried and true methods, although I’ll admit the table probably won’t have any issues for many years of use. Nice build and great video but look into the disadvantages of end grain to any grain glue joints, many ways to avoid it that provide much more mechanical strength.
End grain joints, often perceived as weak due to their porous nature, can actually be quite strong with modern adhesives. These glues deeply penetrate the wood fibers, creating a bond often stronger than the wood itself, there’s a few videos out there that showcase this. For this table build, such joints are sufficient under normal use conditions, especially when balanced with aesthetic design choices. While I will admit they’re not as strong as some other joinery methods, they offer ample durability, making them a viable option for many woodworking designs.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I agree with your point but the longevity of joints constructed with end grain involved rely on the adhesive alone and not structure within components of the project. I will say that the same issue could be argued in a mortise and tenon joint, but with a tight fit before glue up that much more strength is added to the joint. Don’t mean to imply you’re wrong for using this joint but it was just a thought I had while watching. Appreciate the interaction!

SLED - I have the Woodpeckers Autoscale sleds for both left and right side. They are amazing!
I’ve heard really good things about that sled, and I’ve actually been contemplating getting it for myself. How’s your storage situation?
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I rebuilt my miter saw cabinet so it would be wide enough to house them on shelves at the bottom.
Good call. I’ll have to find something similar to tuck them away if I go that route.
Miter gauge. Great work
Thank! I appreciate it!
Sled / I don’t have either only use hand tools not because I’m a power tool snob just because I’m a weekend woodworker with only a 6x12 shed to work in.
That’s awesome though. I have a lot of respect for guys who put in that level work into each piece.

Since buying my Incra miter gauge I rarely use my sled.
For sure!
I have never made a sled for my setup, so I vote miter gauge
If I had to choose only one, that’d be the way I’d go too.
Sled or gauge, I think it depends on the situation. If you are working with small pieces and/or you need to have support on both sides of the blade the sled is the best choice.

Miter gauge most of the time - my sled has become mostly used for making smaller cuts, or one's where a perfect 90 is most important. As usual, a stunning project!
I feel the same way, but I go really large or really small with the sled. I like miter gauge cuts for ones that medium sided I guess haha
nice job

Sled,
To what extent do plans usually match reality ?
In this case the end result was pretty darn close but there's always an audible or two in the shop.
Rubio is better if u like a matt finish, otherwise "Osmo" is better
I’ve used both many times. But if I had to choose one, it would be Rubio. It leaves a more natural look, and in my experience it is more durable in the long run.
Quite alot of end grain glue joints. Not a super sound design compared to tried and true methods, although I’ll admit the table probably won’t have any issues for many years of use.
