I feel like I just went to the spa. The gentle music, the smell of sawdust in the air, the shissh of the handplane. And the bonus addition of seeing a talented woodworker make and admit a mistake (oh I am a Grandmaster at that part) was the icing on the cake. Beautiful slab, artfully filmed and presented, and wonderful skills. Thank you for the video.
When you said, “as always...thanks for watching.” I was about to click to another video...I noticed there was a few mins more at the end... so glad I watched it all! The lady of the house reaction was special! The piece of furniture you made there is very beautiful!
Girlfriend asked "what are you watching?" to which I replied "willian walker wood working video; the Bob Ross of wood working". Struck me on the fly as I said it, but extremely accurate. Love your videos!
Im not one to comment on videos and this may honestly be my first comment on TH-cam period but i love the table and the history behind your connection. Its inspiring to watch. Thanks Joey Council
Thnx for showing the mistake. I live close to nakashimas shop and he influenced my work and I hadn't realized it until I was an adult. I saw a chair in the Philadelphia museum of art and it dawned on me his importance. His work had help mold me in an unconcious way and I'm glad his inspiration drove you to create such a beautiful piece.
I really love that you included the mistakes and troubleshooting. I worry too much when i make mistakes in my woodworking. Not happy that you screwed up that cut hahaha but it’s comforting to know even professionals arent perfect. Love the vid, table looks incredible!!
My first real “fine” woodworking was a class to make a Nakashima replica conoid chair. After this video, I’m thinking of making 5 more and a table to put them around.
Beautiful table! I love how you capture the slow, peaceful, sometimes frustrating nature of woodworking in your videos. They’re a pleasure to watch and your skill is very inspiring.
I'm a hobby woodturner and furniture maker. I've just finished a dining table and spent today making the components for a coffee table so this video is right up my street. However, it has also shown me I have a long way to go to be considered competent. I have the basis though as I'm "nuts" about beautiful wood.
Incredible piece and a worthy tribute. I actually live about 2 miles from the Nakashima compound. Seeing his work is a big part of what got me into making sawdust.
Absolutely loved the ending of this video seeing the response of the final result. To me as a woodworker that is so rewarding thank you for sharing that experience with us. Keep up the great work you always inspire me to be better with every video and this one was no different.
that is a great video and a brilliant result. It's a beautiful top and your detail work was awesome, but it's the base and those joints that really get me. Excellent job!
I think this is my favorite table leg joinery I've seen. When you cut the one leg wrong, I audibly groaned - it hurt to watch, because I've been there before. (Just on a lesser level!) That wood is spectacular, and the table was worthy of it. Really nice work!
I'm not sure what it is about the style of your videos, they are absolutely mesmerizing. Fabulous work! I hope you keep it up to inspire the rest of us, like myself, lowly garage wannabes. (not actually that bad but just too much work in the way!) Also a HUGE Grizzly fan! Thanks again. Pat
Wow. I subscribe to a lot of woodworking channels, but I always look forward to yours the most. Your work absolutely blows me away, and the way you style your videos just makes my heart ache with envy for your talent. Nakashima's work has always been inspiring to me too, I think he would have been happy to see this. PS, thank you for also showing your mistakes. I make them all the time and they drive me nuts and make me want to give up. Seeing that you make some too helps bring me back down to earth
Great craftmanship and a spectacular piece of wood. Your client has a beautiful table. OBTW..I have never made anything without mistakes. I have been woodworking for a long time. My goal is to get the number down to one or two. To me, it's not about not making mistakes, it about how you deal with them. I admire Sam Maloof and took great encouragment when I found a small booboo on a piece of his in the Renwick Gallery. It was on the underside and not visible. I am sure the other people in the gallery were surprised to see me on the floor inspecting the bottom of piece. Flawless in every other aspect. But strangely that little booboo connected me to him. Not bad..
The soundtrack during the second quarter of this video (Dry Assembly), it was very "Interstellar-like", like the scene in the movie where they have to match the rotation of the damaged space ship and take it out of orbit... yeah like that. Your video's soundtrack reminded me of that... It heightened the anxiety of having to not just complete the task, but to complete it with perfection. "Come on, TARS!"
This table is absolutely beautiful man! The video was also incredible! Japanese inspired furniture is what has kept me with the craft so long. I’m actually working on a big Japanese style white oak dining table right now. This video inspired me to get it done! Looking forward to the next one!
I liked so much of this! I would have liked your charcoal epoxy mix to have filled every void on the top. Thanks for showing your mix-ups as well, it makes me feel like I can do this one day. Great and beautiful build. Make your friend a stamp!
Thank you for including the screw up, we all know it happens and it demonstrates honesty. Nice work hombre.

Thank you so much!!
You are a true artist. In the furniture you produce and the way that you portray it. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful! George is smiling!
Girlfriend asked "what are you watching?" to which I replied "willian walker wood working video; the Bob Ross of wood working". Struck me on the fly as I said it, but extremely accurate. Love your videos!
I love his use of the natural resources and try to keep the natural look. The knots are just part of the beauty in the wood.
Love it. There is no angle where you cannot get a "beauty shot" of this piece.
The matching benches really complete the project. Congratulations!
Pettigrew Woodworks They enhance the set as a fully developed composition. Beautiful materials
Truely wonderful. Two craftsmen at work. A pleasure to watch.
One of the best storytellers in this space. I love the ending shots of the install and family, it brings it all together.
Im not one to comment on videos and this may honestly be my first comment on TH-cam period but i love the table and the history behind your connection. Its inspiring to watch. Thanks Joey Council
I do believe George would be very proud of your effort. In a word, magnificent.
No words are adequate. Well done sir.
Fantastic Will! I love the table and the video.... This was a great way to spend 18 minutes on a Sunday morning... two Thumbs way up!
George would be proud! Thanks for sharing this process. The energy and craftsmanship is on point
A gentle approach and build. The respect for the timber and process of transformation is its legacy. Well done.
Beautiful table! That grain is incredible! I am sure Nakashima would be proud.
Absolutely STUNNING table and great video as usual.
So beautiful. Wow.

Wonderful work. Thank you for it, and for continuing George Nakashima's vision. 👁️
A beautiful piece well made, a beautiful story well told.
My first real “fine” woodworking was a class to make a Nakashima replica conoid chair. After this video, I’m thinking of making 5 more and a table to put them around.
Excellent work! Big fan of the Nakashia Conoid style. like how you narrate your videos along with music and keep the tool sound in but not to loud.
Loved the end with your customers, great touch.
Absolutely gorgeous! The craftsmanship is just so astounding! I loved the video. Your work just keeps getting better!
Simply stunning!!! I am so great full to see another video of yours. I always look forward to them, and hearing your stories.
The thing is stunning...truly.
Definitely a piece of art.
Great job guys! Really beautiful.
Beautiful table! I love how you capture the slow, peaceful, sometimes frustrating nature of woodworking in your videos. They’re a pleasure to watch and your skill is very inspiring.
Excellent work. The delivery was great to see.
Those slabs are gorgeous. You did it justice with that base. Love the reveal shots.
Stunning as always William. I never tire of your story telling and your woodworking is always equally amazing.
A true work of art, wonderful story and, as usual, great narration. Honestly better than most movies in recent years.
I love the smiles on your clients faces at the end

I follow only woodworking channels on TH-cam and I follow quite a few. Yours, is on of my favourites, right now. Congrats for the awesome work.
The figure on that is outstanding! Well told story and beautiful workmanship!
Beautiful table. I love Nakashima furniture.

Her reaction was well worth it. Good job man.
Supper sweet man! love it!
The look on the clients face at the end says it all - a stunning piece of furniture! Well done and a great video👍👍
Nice! I love the dark coloured bow ties and epoxy with the dark legs. Great table, great movie :)
Beautifully made video and build! Thanks for using Rubio!
Excellent piece, true craftsmanship
that is a great video and a brilliant result. It's a beautiful top and your detail work was awesome, but it's the base and those joints that really get me. Excellent job!
That’s beautiful man! Your stories get to me as much or more than the wood working. Just stunning!!
Absolutely beautiful mate , I'm sure George would give it the 👍
Gorgeous. Well done, sirs... well done.

BTW, I really appreciate the honesty!!
We all make mistakes, MOST just aren't honest enough to put on "tape"!
Amazing craftmanship, impressive slab, superb video production. Thanks for sharing
Amazing execution! The emotional response I had at the end was a surprise, but welcomed in this time. Hope everyone is well.
Beautiful as always.
WOW BEAUTIFUL

Phenomenal job! Thank you for your humility in showing your imperfections. May we all wear our bowties proud.
