TH-cam is so cool because there are whole art crafts I would never get to learn about but now I get to watch a whole 15 minute video on wood sculpting and furniture making at 2AM. DOPE!
As a skilled tradesman for over 40 years, I always appreciate watching those few who are able to hone their skill set to the level of artisan. Just by watching your methods, it was clear to me that your work was at a level that few approach. Great project, great instructions, and a great result. I subscribed.
watched this right when it came out, and just came back to check how the video is doing....glad to see it is getting the attention it deserves! :) this might be my new favorite Alm Fab project.
That table is absolutely fantastic. I'm a wood carver, and want to get into building other projects. This gives me a lot of enthusiasm and excitement to get started. Thanks so much!
Beautiful table! I especially like how you added the maple to the legs in order to make the piece as a whole more cohesive. First video of yours that I watched and I just subscribed!
What a gorgeous side table! Just the little details you put into it, like the wee wooden block feet on the bottom of the metal legs - it's those wee things that makes it more a piece of art than plain furniture! What a very talented guy you are :) Ur vid popped up in my recommendations n I'm SO glad I clicked on it! Def got a new sub from me - now I'm going to binge watch the rest!
Well. Watched one video, on your plywood challenge project. Got inspired. Subbed. Watched another. Got more inspired (I need a bar, now I know how I'll build one). Watched this. Got blown away. Only problem is, I need to sleep eventually...
Runny wood on a table top....... Awesome!!!! The way the wood seems to run over the edges is quite a bit like how I've seen Apoxy Resins doing the same thing. Never thought I'd every see the same effect in wood..... which is solid! I love it 👍👍👍 That snake and eagle sculpture at the beginning looks so real as well 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Watched your video, subscribed! This sculptural approach to wood working, floored me. As an artist (62, from New England) I appreciate wood working and all arts, but this was enlightening to me. I sure hope you charge a lot if you sell it, what a beautiful piece! The metal, the wood at the bottom of the legs so impressive, but the "melting wood" sublime :)
Thank you for sharing your skills. So enjoyed watching you work! Finding your channel is such a relief! Watching someone who knows what he is doing, doesn't lie about his accomplishments and does what he says is a nice change from the daily Trump coverage. Bring sanity back to the world! I forgot what an honest day's work looks like. A real man at work.
This is the first time in while that I’ve actually sat down, relaxed and enjoyed a great video. The soundtrack is really good and the editing is awesome. Keep up the good work
This is my first video from you I've watched and I'm absolutely speechless. You are a master at your art and it shows. Sculpting + furniture making? What an awesome combo. Not to mention, the editing is on point and I didn't even realize 15 minutes had gone by! Subscribed
my guy your channel is so underrated. Keep this up. I started leatherworking and its been a big interest of mine to start something like this and this is super impressive. Im loving your work.
You are truly in a league of your own, Anyone who gave this a thumbs down ...please please ..please show us what you got. Thank you so much for sharing.
Man you need a bandsaw! I’ve seen people use the table saw to cut from both sides then use a bandsaw to cut out the middle but I haven’t seen anyone use a handsaw to do it since watching my grandfather re-saw an entire board with a bandsaw. He was a master carpenter and furniture maker who used power tools including bandsaws when he worked in someone else’s shop but used hand tools when he worked for himself. He would of loved this piece and your process! Ron
🤯 Mind blown. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought the top was molded leather or latex, or some other soft, stretchy material. Amazing craftsmanship Michael. With such a beautifully complementary set of skills, I’d love to see you do more of this kind of work!! 👍
This is so cool. I just started my journey of working with wood and love it. Now I expended my horizons on what can be done with wood. Thank you for sharing this video with the world.
Great video! Full transparency, this answered one of my biggest questions from your under saw cabinet video, and that was how easy the blade adjust handle would work tucked into that space? However, it looks like the fit and finish were perfect; well done!
damn, that is a cracking idea. got a glimpse of some cut-out handles on a couple of doors/drawers I think with bright colored backgrounds. hmm I would like to try something like that
I keep coming back to this one Absolutely love it, reminds me of unusual high-end piece that is seen in art museum and high-end furniture one of a kind piece.
Very nice, I like to sculpt as well, and maple is one of my favorite woods. The melted wood is unexpected and really catches your attention. Looks like the Arbor Tech really works well for this process.
As a woodworking enthusiast, I must say, the video and audio editing, background music and cool designs in this video are phenomenal! I was pleasantly surprised by how... pleasant the quality was. Neat stuff!!!! I only wished you would explain the different finishing techniques a bit more, though I suspect you've made different videos for that topic.
you should build things out of random materials, or just things you find, and carve them, like bobby duke's art, but in your own way with your own ideas, just subbed.
A beautiful piece of art! Thanks for showing us the process. I was curious, why did you use the hand saw for the final cut on re-sawing the maple when you have that band saw? Thanks again!
You need to continue these projects that integrate sculpture and furniture. Clearly sets you apart from other makers. Love this.
Thanks! Good to hear. I’m definitely excited to make another piece 😁
Looks great brother. The little inserts for the legs are awesome

Watching you carve the drips was one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen. What an absolutely beautiful (and functional!) piece of art
Wow - totally blown away watching this. Such an intriguing idea and exquisite piece of furniture.
So satisfied with the way he lined up the music and the nail gun 👌🏼
in sync
Super fun project!
Thanks Tamar!

Thanks Mike!!
Love from India. Never seen anyone even attempting to make something so beautiful!!
That table is absolutely fantastic. I'm a wood carver, and want to get into building other projects. This gives me a lot of enthusiasm and excitement to get started. Thanks so much!
Thanks! Glad to hear it 😁
This table is AMAZING!
Thank you 😁

Me too ! Lol
@@MichaelAlm Same! New Sub here :)
Michael Alm same!
Same. :)
That snake and bird sculpture - OMG! You are incredibly talented! And of course, the table is awesome.
amazing stuff!! I could see myself drunk and staring at that table waiting for the wood to drip. It just catches the eye
That was ...... SO COOL AMAZING FANTASTIC & VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

One of the most unique pieces of furniture I've ever seen
Absolutely incredible - it's so cool seeing your furniture and sculpture backgrounds coming together in one piece...truly a piece of art Michael!
Thanks Ethan!

Just oooozing with awesomeness. Beautiful piece as always buddy!
Hahaha! Thanks dude!!
I just can say WOW.. kudos to your wood working skills.. awesome creativity.. god bless you man..
My god, that tables incredible, imagine all the colour-ways you could make, bloody immaculate.
This is the first time in while that I’ve actually sat down, relaxed and enjoyed a great video. The soundtrack is really good and the editing is awesome.
Keep up the good work
Thank you!
You are incredibly talented. I've been a carpenter for 20 years, I have never even considered a project like this!

a very detailed guy from start to editing. Synced the beat to the nailing part is candy to my ear.
This is just gorgeous! Lovely work and craftmanship!
These construction videos are my absolute favorite! Can't wait to see more projects. Love the high quality of your work combined with pleasant editing
You've been given a gift. It was pretty amazing watching this come together. Excellent!
i wish companies randomly send me contour sanders
The maple caught me right away...such a gorgeous table...love it!
It looks delicious! like ice cream on a brownie
forbidden cookie
Wow....just wow! Endless possible combinations of wood and grains could make this piece go with lots of design choices. Amazing work!
awesome work. glad i stumbled upon you and your work. best wishes from a novice scrollsawer in mumbai india.
my guy your channel is so underrated. Keep this up. I started leatherworking and its been a big interest of mine to start something like this and this is super impressive. Im loving your work.

The concept, the execution, the artistry!! It’s beautiful!
Thanks Marylou!!
You are truly in a league of your own, Anyone who gave this a thumbs down ...please please ..please show us what you got. Thank you so much for sharing.
9:35 one side got curved horizontally and the other vertically for maximum grip, wow! Love the attention to details!

Killed it! This is awesome! Great job!
OK, I love it. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video with us.
02:34 excellent usage of knee clamps. i am so proud
Learned from the best 😉
That snake and hawk carving is incredible!
This is by far the BEST wood working video I've EVER seen!
That is the most beautiful thing that I have seen in a very long time...
Simply EXTRAORDINARY! It should be in a museum!
This is so amazing !!!!! needs like a million views asap.
🤯 Mind blown. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought the top was molded leather or latex, or some other soft, stretchy material. Amazing craftsmanship Michael. With such a beautifully complementary set of skills, I’d love to see you do more of this kind of work!! 👍
Thanks Steve!
Wow, that is a really beautiful melt. I too thought it looked like an animal hide draped over a table. Really impressive.
I follow a lot of DIY and joinery channels. This piece is by far my fav!
Thank you!
This is a true piece of art. Wow! Would love to see more like this ❤️
I love it. Very creative!! You literally made the wood look like it was melting.
Wonderful. The melting wood effect and metal wood are very cool.
This is so cool. I just started my journey of working with wood and love it. Now I expended my horizons on what can be done with wood. Thank you for sharing this video with the world.
wow ... just freaking wow !!! you sir are a master !
Great video! Full transparency, this answered one of my biggest questions from your under saw cabinet video, and that was how easy the blade adjust handle would work tucked into that space?
However, it looks like the fit and finish were perfect; well done!
You should mix the two more often it turned out really cool. I wish I could buy it from you.
Wow. Beautifully executed. Watching the grain pop when you put on the finish...beautiful. Thanks for letting us watch.
Really creative idea, and beautifully executed. Nice!
Fantastic video! So satsifying to watch such craftmanship, and I'm seriously envious of that workshop :)
that is some beautiful work, great job.
Dude this is one of my all-time favorites. And I make furniture. It's dope.
Amazing work! Can't wait to see what else you produce!
I am absolutely blown away. I really need to step my game up.
I'm blown away with the dripping edge on the table it's something I have not thought of but it is really powerful piece of art and utility. Mark D.
Thanks Mark!
This may be the most beautiful side table I've ever seen! Amazing work!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! I wish I could afford to commission one of your pieces.
I saw this piece on instagram. I’m glad I found out who made it. Great job.
0:14 That snake vs. eagle (or is it an owl?) sculpture is something to behold.
Wow for me it looks like a brownie with cream running down. Beautiful!!!!!!
damn, that is a cracking idea. got a glimpse of some cut-out handles on a couple of doors/drawers I think with bright colored backgrounds. hmm I would like to try something like that
Dude 10:38 timing on the beat and nailing...
Welldone sir. Welldone.
Michael DALI Alm! Amazing work man! Well done!!!
Hats off! This is really top notch. Awesome staining and finishing techniques as well. WOW!
Amazing! You should make a whole set of those.
This is QUALITY workmanship, I want one!!!
A E S T H E T I C
This table could definitely be included in a modern art museum
The content of your videos are excellent, but I think it's your music selection that really brings everything together! Keep up the great work.
This turned out really fantastic and way better than I imagined when I first saw it on your instagram. Beautiful work!
First video I've seen and that table is simply BEAUTIFUL!! Going to watch some more!!
Thanks!
Damn that contour sander would be great for making bows.
I keep coming back to this one Absolutely love it, reminds me of unusual high-end piece that is seen in art museum and high-end furniture one of a kind piece.
Man, it was looking good, then you put the shellac on it and it became artwork.
It makes that curly maple pop! Thanks dude!
Very nice, I like to sculpt as well, and maple is one of my favorite woods. The melted wood is unexpected and really catches your attention. Looks like the Arbor Tech really works well for this process.
Can we use glass too with this. interested to watch
Awesome project
Wow what a great piece , and wonderful craftsmanship.

Neat stuff!!!! I only wished you would explain the different finishing techniques a bit more, though I suspect you've made different videos for that topic.
Thank you!! I am working on a video on finishes. It will come out mid September. 👍
@@MichaelAlm WOAH I live in Seattle too,,, I can't believe you have a house in this city
Oh, wow. Thank you so much for sharing this. Such a cool, creative design. Your combined skills make this such an unusual piece.
you should build things out of random materials, or just things you find, and carve them, like bobby duke's art, but in your own way with your own ideas, just subbed.
Very lovely blend of the masculine and feminine. Art and functionality!
yall saying skin and im over here like: g r a m c r a c k e r
Loved this piece down to the caps on the legs. Great work.
It’s okay if you like perfection, great job
Exzellent Wood Art, beautiful !!!
I have never see similar project, very good!!!
Greatings from Germany!
Thank you!
And here I thought you actually made wood melt like plastic
carl swanson
Must be having a 'blonde moment'
bruh evolution didnt work for you
BIG BRAIN
My high school chem teacher said wood melts if heated in a vacuum. That would be neat to see.
slowbooboscill8r nope doesnt work.. Sorry
this guy deserves to be the next youtube sensation with 4+mil subs for sure
A beautiful piece of art! Thanks for showing us the process. I was curious, why did you use the hand saw for the final cut on re-sawing the maple when you have that band saw? Thanks again!
Thanks! The board was about an inch too tall for my bandsaw, so I had to go with the handsaw.
@@MichaelAlm Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
