Terrific video. I like the final result. Turned out beautifully. I appreciate you showing your mistake and solution to overcome the mistake. Very well done.
Andrew, I am a senior in high school in woodshop class and I came across your video on the walnut coffee table. For my senior project I am planning on doing something similar. The way that you built this table shows true craftsmanship and I would love to test my skills. Is there any way that you could share a cut list or the plans that you used throughout this build.
I’m thinking about building a coffee table, but I definitely don’t have all the tools to pull that off. That is a very esthetically pleasing piece and man, would it look beautiful in my living room. thank for a great video!
Nice job. I appreciate you making it yours. Spalted front and skull pull. I'm sure some "purists" cringed. I was thinking I might have made a second drawer to sit in the attic in case I ever sold it to one of those "purists". Be well. Keep up the great content.
Your work and attention to detail has inspired me to build this coffee table and a pair of end tables to match. I love the simple but elegant style of your table. Nice job!
Insanely accurate cuts! of course the base is perfectly square.. love the walnut ...looks great. I messed with all kinds of stuff over the years, Rubio Monocoat Pure is all I use now. Someone told me to pick your colors via the wood species, and you never need to stain. Rubio is so easy after that.
I think any clear coat finish like that would work great as well, and it would also help maintain the natural color of the walnut even more than the Rubio I used. I chose to use the hard wax oil option just because I knew that would be easier to potentially spot treat certain areas down the road. Cheers!
Curious, when you had to rip the lower shelf and reglue it in place to get it to fit, didn't you end up with gaps at the corners, since losing the width of the blade?
Great question! Yep I lost about 1/8” in shelf width because of the blade width from the saw. Fortunately I had already factored it in to have a little bit of a gap at the corners anyways for natural expansion and contraction of the shelf so it was just 1/16” more in each corner. I even checked before making this move to make sure aesthetically it wouldn’t look bad and fortunately it looked totally fine
Hi! just need to know the final/dimentions/ size of top and distance from legs to side and end because I think the proportions. are wonderful ! Thanks!
The veneer part is real walnut planed very thin over a substrate, which is usually some sort of plywood or particle board in cheaper furniture. I know a lot of people who make their own veneer like to use Baltic birch as the substrate since it’s a higher quality plywood. Hope that helps!
Hi sorry, I’m just catching up on comments now but unfortunately don’t have any plans or a cut list! I do have the dimensions of all the parts though if you’d like me to DM those to you.

Nice video with great detail. Thanks for keeping the error, nice solution from your dad.
Another great display of craftsmanship! Great job
Beautiful table and excellent video content
Thank you very much!
Beautifully done!!
Looking great Andrew. Miss having you in the shop!
Thanks Frank! Miss being there too and hopeful will get back that way in the near future for a visit!
Beautiful table! You've inspired me to give it a go!
Nice work, Andrew!
Thanks!
Great video! I’m going to shamelessly mimic your design for my own walnut coffee table. Thanks for sharing your build!
I’m in the middle of a similar build right now and this video was super helpful. Nice work
Glad it was helpful! Hope your project turns out great

Hey! I am planning on making this table, do you have a cut list or plans that you used for your build?
Great build and great video. Showing the mistake with the bottom shelf added greatly to it's value.

Loved the two videos I watched from the channel. Informative and entertaining, great job!
Thank you very much! Appreciate your support!
Very Nice Build, I like the speed and depth of your narrative.
Nice table build

From a fellow woodworking hobbyist, thanks for taking the time to film this and post the video. Appreciate your effort to create the content
Very informative and well done video Andy! The coffee table is beautiful!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Great content I love watching you work!
Thank you for watching!
Excellent video, good touch with the 3D render. And don’t apologise for using good equipment, it’s there to be used
Cool - shout out to your Dad.
Very nice work. I lose 30 IQ points during glue up LOL Thats funny! truer words were never spoken
🤣
Yes it looks great
Very beautiful🙏🏻☺️
Thank you! Cheers!
Has the bottom shelf bowed at all during the warmer months?
When you re-cut the bottom shelf, didn’t that change your tight fit?
Beautiful table and great video! Would using dowels work to join the stretchers to the legs?
Absolutely! The domino is a handy tool but dowels would work perfectly too. I’d recommend using at least two of them for each joint
Beautiful job! Thanks. Can you recommend an alternate finish for walnut, any polyurethanes or lacquers?
I think any clear coat finish like that would work great as well, and it would also help maintain the natural color of the walnut even more than the Rubio I used.

Ruby monocoat? Is that it?
Is veneer walnut real walnut? Also usually if veneer walnut is used, what’s the wood inside?
The veneer part is real walnut planed very thin over a substrate, which is usually some sort of plywood or particle board in cheaper furniture. I know a lot of people who make their own veneer like to use Baltic birch as the substrate since it’s a higher quality plywood. Hope that helps!
Any chance of buying the plans and cut list?
Any luck? I am looking to make this table too.
