What a treat it was to be able to build these tables for my clients. Being able to take a tree that my client frank had spent his whole life watching grow and turn it into furniture that he can pass on to his children was everything you would hope and expect it to be.

I really appreciate these Start To Finish videos, they are both inspiring and very enjoyable to watch. I really like the way you edit and the upbeat music you serve us. Awesome build, looking forward to seeing your own table come to life!
Amazing project! Great work! Thank you for sharing you skills and ideas.
Love watching you work. You are a true craftsman. Thanks for uploading.
I love you treat the wood and also how you take time to craft such beautiful pieces of work
Beautiful table! Thanks for sharing and taking us thru the process
Love the tables and the nail story, I like that you have such passion for what you do. It keeps it real.
Cheers Samurai.
watching from the UK.
Thank you Samurai. Inspiration. Talent. Pride in work. Rewarding work. Beautiful things that last.
Another Beautiful project. I love seeing the quality you put out.
You are a joy to watch work. You are SOOOO talented and I really do enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work. And you're right... that story is TOTALLY worth a broken bit. Not only are you a phenomenal carpenter/craftsman, but YOU GET WHAT IT"S ALL ABOUT!
The butterfly keys really add another level to the visual beauty of the piece. I didn't think I'd like the contrasting colors very well. I love it now.
Great work. And the nail story, nice touch for the story of the build.
What a tree, what a story, some beautiful tables. Wish you a great week
Great video! Fun and entertaining to watch, and LOVE the story about the owners parents putting the nail in the tree! I'mma like this video all day long!
Awesome work and awesome video, I just got my own tree two weeks ago to do my own live edge project, thanks for the help and inspiration
Mad Skills, Bro-tato chip!!! Inspired me to use a live edge on my next table build. Thank you!
Awesome work, nature becomes art showing how beautiful nature is. Legendary
Beautiful work! I finally have the inspiration to start working on my live slab
Those a beautiful tables and a great conversation for the clients to tell there friends and family.
This is what I want to do for a living. Commission slab tables and bar tops from home. Gonna be checking out more of your vids and learning quite a bit, thanks for sharing this.
Talent! It takes time and skill to develop. And it takes time to create a remarkable product.
These turned out beautiful. Rustic yet modern!
That is an awesome story glad to hear it there's always something good that can come out of any situation
Such a beautiful work of art & a family heirloom - a two'fer!
That nail story will follow that table wherever it goes, that is so awesome!!
absolutely perfect! very good job mister
How can people dislike this video? Blows my mind. Great content man!
Beautiful work. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely amazing!
That came out insane wood is so timeless and beautiful.
Loved the fusion of wood and metal in this project. Hope to see more in future? Try playing around with aged metal, rusting, it'll add another dimension to the piece. Keep up the great work 👍
You, sir, are incredibly awesome!
Loved the tables! Great job sir.
It's great to see this style of video again
As a boat owner, I've used epoxy plenty of times on various projects. It was cool seeing how you used it on the slab.
Beautiful work, great story behind it too.
Thanks for the stoke and awesome tips. Was stoked to find out your in Vic...Port Alberni here and just beginning my woodworking journey.
Great Job Sir.... Thanks for the Help !!!
Fantastic build. Looks awesome.
The Carpenter can weld, very well at that. Beautiful work of art, well done.
Super cool story about the nail. Nice job on the table!
Sam, great video with great content! Very inspiring
Oh man i would love me a desk like that, beautiful !
I learned about epoxy a few years ago, while making cubicle tops for the GC I retired from in 2010. I edge glued old ceiling rafters for this project the material was full of knots. using cheap blue painters tape worked for me to plug the holes in the underside. Good Job Samurai
I had a couple of fairly large black walnut trees milled into lumber this summer. Thanks for the video. I will attempt to recreate something like this at some. Largest slabs I have are 6' x 30" z 2". I particularly like the legs and how you created them.
Killer video. Great story. Beautiful tables. Thanks.
Beautiful work my friend! Hopefully one day my talent will be that amazing.... been in construction for a lot of my life and now I'm looking into doing wood working as a hobby (started my own channel as well to share) so it's hard because the construction thought process is TOTALLY different than from a wood working thought process! Again, amazing work... very talented and inspirational.
Beautiful build as usual.
It looks so good!
Glad to see you do a commission project!
STUNNING.
Stunning!
That’s a stunning table. The bow tie joints are as near to perfection as it’s possible to get 🙂 also, cool story bro.
great job friends, finally I see you welding very well👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Très belles tables et du beau travail comme d’habitude. 👍🏻
Love the tables, i need to get going on some slab tables of my own. I finally have a router, now i just need a big ass bit, router sled and space to create dust!
Love that story! Lucky to have that kind of history:)
That's so awesome I'm now subscribing
I love the camera angle when grinding down the welds.
Excellent as always!
Amazing work !
I saw where Norm Abrams used a metal detecting wand on wood slabs to check for embedded nails. Nice job and you are an inspiration to me.
as usual amazing video and very cool project!
Next up, you should do live edge side-panelling on your car, 70s style.
^The man!
Thank you, Sensei.
I am just starting my own project using a piece of Sapele. The whole plank is 4.6m long and it's 80cm wide and 7 cm thick. It weighs well over 200kg (probably around 500lbs) which is my first problem.
I am going to use half of it for the top and the rest for legs, so I should be able to manipulate it, once it is bifurcated. It has one large-ish crack which I will keep as a feature and use the solid end for the legs. I am going with big slabs (70cm x 50cm) for the legs and putting a bar between them for stability. My wife tells me I need to do more weight exercises.
Anyway, it was good to watch you do this. Thanks again. Most interesting, though, was just watching the transformation of a tree into a table.
Love the table. Love the sawhorses to lol I need to make me a set of them
Just beautiful!!!
You make me smile 😊
PS : great job with a superb "slab" of wood.
I like my profession and you are good at this. greetings from Argentina
I just saw your series of videos on these tables and hats off to you! They are gorgeous! And also, I’d like to thank you for sharing your experiences while building these tables. Should I ever do something like this, what I’ve learned from you will be a big help. I’ve also noticed a number comments, from, what are undoubtedly master craftsmen with years of exceptional experience! They’re all entitled to their _sshole opinions. If only they had the intestinal fortitude to put their work out for review......... Keep up the great work and channel!
Wow...nice job...really liked it :)
Keep up the great work.
Have a good'n & be safe.
Simply lovely
Awesome table and story
Great project and video.
That table looked AWESOME bro!!!! SIIIICCCKKKKK DUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!
Lovely work! Plus, you've turned this table top into a "sir" with them bow ties. You've made this look so easy too, our table build was a learning process to say the least haha.
Super nice work bro!
Nicely done!
Amazing
Beautiful
Can't wait to see your own dining table build video!
MASTER of the UNIVERSE !!!
So baller. That sure came out nice! Great story to go with the nail!
Great job. As always ! Your videos are so motivating, thank you. Every piece of wood has a story which make our job awesome :)
Very cool very talented God has giving you awesome skilled gifts to use your hands Crafting wood and metal.
Thanks for sharing. I have a large piece of maple that came out of the back of a floorboard of a semi truck trailer. Beautiful piece of maple he has the countersunk holes in it From the old carriage through Bolts.
Very cool looking. Just want to get some ideas watching your video broadens my thinking. Thanks very much take care brother
Great video for all woodworkers with advanced degrees in mind reading.
Great Job man, I didn't know Macklemore was so good at wood working!! :D Cheers from Italy
Beautiful
bad ass table! awesome build!
LOL this beautiful tree get turned into a beautiful table!
Thank you for the blow torch epoxy trick :)
great build, well done,
Awesome job.
Good to see that you respect the natural beauty of the wood and that you stabilise it with proper bowties and without pouring liquid plastic in it.
Hey I just wanted to give you some tips on grinding on your table legs. Buy a 60 grit flap disc metal grinding wheel. Takes away steel a lot faster and leaves nice fine scratch lines. Then hit the scratch lines with a brillo wheel or sandpaper. Also, I noticed you were grinding with a front-to-back motion going against the weld instead of with it. If you grind long ways with the weld and make long continuous runs instead of lots small movements, you'll get a nice consistent grind that takes away material more efficiently and leaves nicer scratch lines that can be more easily sanded out. Experience: been a metal fabricator for 3 years now.
The table looks amazing! I'm starting to really pursue my passion for wood working in the last couple weeks and hope to make it a full time business one day. I just got three boards of black walnut, vacuum kiln dried and already cut to dimension and planed that I plan to make a really nice table with. They're 6'x12"x3". Is it possible to get in contact to ask you a few questions before I start this project? I'm still learning and I'm sure there's a lot I don't know about working with black walnut.
This was the best of the best!!!
But in weeks to come this comment will be meaningless compared to your next projects!
Keep it up man - insanely inspiring 🙌🏼👏🏼
You inspire me!
Beautiful! How long did it take to finish? How many coats did that table take?
That was pretty good story thanks for sharing in the entertainment
That. Was. Awesome.
Wow Nice job
Love the big bowtie spline on the end. So rad!
Absolutely gorgeous. And the fact that there was a story behind the nail really made it worth the blown bit IMO.
Question, and i hope you get this. But I recently bought a few slabs of beechwood but even though beechwood is used quite a bit in furniture/cabinets I can’t seem to find a whole lot on finishing of this particular species. Any suggestions?
I appreciate how you didn't finish it super glossy. Looks great just the way it is.
