I love the design and the construction techniques. The end result was a beautiful pair of tables that will last for many generations. And so smart to build the pair at the same time!
These turned out really awesome. One of the reasons I love your channel is your ability to go from detailed mostly hand done pieces like this, to a more "functional" problem in the next ep. Thanks for showing us all the great work!
Have been working as a carpenter on sites for nearly 30 years and when you see this It made me think did I do the right thing and not stay in the joinery shop, Thanks for sharing. Gary
Truly inspirational! Beautiful furniture; designed and made with care and consideration of all that matters - the tables present the French Oak at its best and visa versa . This was an example to us all of what is possible when you combine both traditional and more modern techniques and tools - a hard to achieve balance. The video was a joy to watch in and of itself, whilst being a great tutorial for those of us who are inspired by your work. Thank you for all your time, effort and skill in presenting this to us. One of the best examples of a woodworking TH-cam video I've ever seen.
LOL. Awesome reply! Well please don't stop having fun :-) Like so many good TH-camrs (e.g. Jimmy Diresta et al), you are having a real impact on many of us out here, and helping us perfect our own skills. Particularly by being frank about problems and workarounds as you work through your projects. Many thanks again.
Congratulations!!! I'm in love with any furniture that has cabriole legs or (Queen Anne legs), you make beautiful furniture. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
I LOVE these bedside tables! If ever I were to imagine bedside table from Wonderland I would imagine something along these tables. Though, if they were truly from Wonderland all four legs would be of different lengths and the table top would be a few degrees off true, but things wouldn't roll off because of said Wonderland. I hope y'all've been well! Love from Florida :)
Can't really fault you this time Joey! You even got the drawer bottom joinery correct this time! You shouldn't have any movement issues with these pieces, that's my boy!
You're a true artist and a credit to your craft. Well done, young man! I have a question: What do you do with all of the sawdust and shavings you produce?
i was hoping you weren't going to put plywood bottom to that drawer. thanks for not being a cheapo ,and keeping it real , with solid wood .looks amazing
Serious question as I don't know anything about hand planes. What's the advantage to using the plane over an orbital or belt sander? Awesome tables as well.
A few things, firstly a plane gives a flat surface., it slices the timber as opposed to abrasing it this gives a much silkier finish that doesn't need sanding in most cases. It also removes much more material much faster than a sander. Just takes a little practice
Hello Friend. Great job, as always. At the 14:35 moment of your video, use a kind of blade. What is this tool for? Only sanding would not solve? thank you.
Nice work. Curious did you consider bent lamination for drawer front? Seems the short fibers could be an issue if staining? What you think? Also I like those bench hook clamps. What are they?
+Robert hi, yea the short grain could be an issue I guess. I approached this thinking how would they have done it in ye olde times. Just for a bit of fun. Actually easier then laminating and there were no molds to make .
Thanks for YOUR time and effort in adding filming and editing to the already difficult task of producing these tables. I'm just curious if these were for a client or yourself? Because I think you would never be able to cover the cost of your time or equipment investment in the sale price right? I sometimes do fine work like this for a client if I really like them but it's always a partial donation and purely out of love for the craft.
+One Man Band Woodworks cheers, yea not selling them for their real worth but this client has ordered 3 other really cool larger pieces which will all cost a few $$$ soo gave them a bit of a break on cost of these and should kinda make it up on the others. But I'm the same sometimes will just do the job because it'll be fun and not make any cash. It's always good for the portfolio too!
Very nice work. However, I think that you are 90 degrees wrong on your recommendation for grain pattern orientation on the leg blanks. Your recommendation produces an elongated O on the knee of the cabriolet leg. Most makers of period furniture try to avoid this look.
hi, i guess the short answer is thats how its done traditionally, much easier to fit it that way then plane a tongue. there are actually planes made just for this job with special fences and stops etc.

Another beautiful project Joey. Thanks for sharing and the instruction.

thanks !
It's nice to see there are craftsmen in the world who can still create beautiful and well-constructed furniture.
+FrankenShop thanks!
Have been working as a carpenter on sites for nearly 30 years and when you see this It made me think did I do the right thing and not stay in the joinery shop, Thanks for sharing. Gary
+possumhead appreciate the sentiment. I was on sites building for 10 years then changed. Not nearly as good money but way more fun.
Those side tables look awesome. You make it look so easy.
19:31 Looking at those completed tables: they're absolutely beautiful. Just wonderful works of art.
Thanks !
Joey I love the format of your videos and narration keep it up. The side tables are beautiful to say the least, thanks for sharing.
+Demetrius Baloyi thank you, yes I think I have my groove with the vids now.
Nice video.
The two bedside tables, look great.
Great job on the tables. Love your channel.
Absolutely beautiful work. I learned a lot from your 20 minute video. Amazing how the 3D detail of those legs comes from square stock!

This is beautiful!

Beautiful. Absolutely amazing.
Awesome work man!! Tnx for sharing it!! :D
What talent and skill. Work of art!
Great job mate
Pretty slick work. The drawer front blanks were quite the chunk of timber 😃
Kuffys Woodwork right? I don't think I've ever seen a curved drawer front that wasn't veneered. Not my style of furniture but that's a classy touch.
cheers , first for me too, worked really well, but probably not good for a bigger drawer though due to size of timber needed and grain direction etc,
you're an artist man! how you made those bend fronts of the drawer, rly nice!
Superb as usual.....
They look great.
Nice work - again!
Chris
cheers
Outstanding work and great videos. Thanks
+Robin L cheers

Can't really fault you this time Joey! You even got the drawer bottom joinery correct this time! You shouldn't have any movement issues with these pieces, that's my boy!
+Miff ha cool. Cheers
Stunning! Thank you.
Very nice my friend.
You're a true artist and a credit to your craft. Well done, young man!
I have a question: What do you do with all of the sawdust and shavings you produce?
+Ryk Haviland thanks, I give away some and the rest goes on the bank behind the workshop. Which is now getting a bit full.
Nice Build.
hand crafted love it
Beautiful work and and excellent attention to detail. How many hours would you guestimate for time on the pair?
Hi, this was right on 40 hrs for the pair , cheers
Wow! You are a master.
+Mariano Aguirre thanks!

Top notch job

Can you tell us approx how many hours you spent on these pieces?
_Really, really_, nice. Thanks!

Hello Friend. Great job, as always. At the 14:35 moment of your video, use a kind of blade. What is this tool for? Only sanding would not solve? thank you.
Beautiful work. Are these tables for a customer? Or will they be going into your new house?
+Brian Bain these are for a client. The start of a few pieces for them
lovely!
exellent job
Good work! What is the name of the tool that you make the side slits on the time interval 16: 20?
Nice work. Curious did you consider bent lamination for drawer front? Seems the short fibers could be an issue if staining? What you think? Also I like those bench hook clamps. What are they?

amazing job. Thanks.
Nice one Joey, tables looks great. Are these for your new hoose?
+Colin Wilson naa for a client... cheers
Nice!
Very good

KingPost TimberWorks hoping you made a decent amount on the complete sale then. Works of art!!
Bloody boootiful Joey, I now know who will be making my furniture when I win the lottery to cover the shipping to the UK 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
+Smallest Workshop ha cheers
well done
Very nice work. However, I think that you are 90 degrees wrong on your recommendation for grain pattern orientation on the leg blanks. Your recommendation produces an elongated O on the knee of the cabriolet leg. Most makers of period furniture try to avoid this look.
Nice. Could you tell what clearcode it was ( brand name).
HI, its Cabots CFP floor, meant to be a flooring finish, but i like it .
Why did you plane the drawer bottom to fit the groove instead of cutting a tongue? I've never seen that before.
hi, i guess the short answer is thats how its done traditionally, much easier to fit it that way then plane a tongue. there are actually planes made just for this job with special fences and stops etc.
Hey I only just found you through instagram (the bath tub) I have to say.. You are fast becoming my new favorite channel absolutely terrific!!!!
+Robin Coomans oh cool thanks. My Insta just went a bit nuts with followers, how'd you come by it?
I'll see if I can find the profile I saw it on, it wasn't yours.. but one of those repost pages.
Little Matt Cremona background music!
yup,
Awesome
Krásné A Beautiful
for the legs... what thickness has the piece of wood? Thank you!
+Emanuelle Trigo the blanks were 63mm square
thank you!!!
This shit is beautiful. I'm hesitant to say it's you best work because you do so much but it's fucking up there. Jealous of your skills
+Noah Kelchner thanks ! I'm pretty happy with them too
👍👍👍👍👍
