    I love how you don't take yourself too seriously...your sarcasm about the kreg jig was hilarious. And you actually have some sawdust on your tools! That's real world...glad I found your channel. Subbbb!

    Your style is getting more distinctive, unique, and recognizable and you are so much more comfortable on camera recently. Every successive episode you release is better than the last. I can't even call them videos anymore, they're episodes! Thanks David!

    200 years from now someone will get this table and wonder why in the hell each leg is joined different. At least they will have a good conversation over it. Another awesome video.

    Iv really enjoyed watching my grandpa and other family do different wood working growing up and iv worked in cabinet making the last 2 years. I'm slowly getting my own tools to start making end tables and coffee tables to start and I'll definitely use this technique. Thanks for the vid

    I spent a good amount of time and money at Home Depot buying torches, rods, aluminum stock, and beef jerkey trying to get the shit to work after that brazing video.. it's actually pretty satisfying to see that it didn't work in the long run. I'm not upset, I wanted to thank you for the knowledge on both the front and back end. You're the man!

    GREAT video David. This REALLY shows that there are many ways to accomplish a task and they all can work. No jointer, make a jig. No dowling tool, make a jig. We all can have FUN in our shop without all the expensive tools - just some of them!!!

    Cliff Notes of Missing Scene: David realizes he cut all the stretchers to length and therefore can't mortise and tenon just one corner, expletives uttered, quantities of beverage consumed, video has to be made, David thinks, David exclaims "screw it"... so he did.

  • @jjackson8130
    @jjackson8130 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Initially was annoyed but shortly realized I was learning a crap ton of useful information as I research a table making project for beginners. The guy is pretty much a 'regular dude' but I appreciate that with all his 'this way or that' attitude he was genuinely saying 'here's a good way, there's a great way and there's the way I'm doing it now' instead of bullshitting. And then he vacuumed before putting the table back. A+ winner winner chicken dinner.

    One of the best parts of this whole thing is you used 4 different joints for the same purpose in the same piece. That's some world class troll bait, right up there with quenching metal in a toilet.
