The two main obstacles I see to that becoming a reality are Stigler's law of eponymy, which poses a problem because she actually came up with this method, and some potential confusion among German speakers who would find the name somewhat misleading: what struggle?
Pleasantly surprised to find you here!! Are you here looking for tips to build yourself a 20 seats meeting table for the new luxurious tree house?! Love your work, keep it up!
I love that you aren’t stuck in a box, that you are always thinking of ways to improve on traditional techniques. I’m no master woodworker but I thought it was genius!!
Great video! Woodworking has centuries-old traditions about how to make joints, varying also from culture to culture, and since I am old, I thought I had seen most of them. You proved me wrong. One of your greatest strengths and skills, among so many of them, is your ability to "think outside the boxes" of traditions, rules, and limitations. You are a total, pure, natural at what you do! I wish I was much younger so I could see all the other advances and breakthroughs you will make in the future throughout your life.
Leveling with a router is not exactly "fast" but the assembly technique seems great to me. In my case, I do not have a wood planer, it is a great option.
it's also faster because you save the whole step of needing to create dimensional lumber. you jump right from rough sawn lumber to gluing it up as a table top.
This is really inspirational and such a wonderful way to improve on making a beautiful table. Thank you for always showing us new and creative ways to make the world more beautiful!
I like the organic effect of the joints. Leaving the live edge on the long sides would enhance that effect even more. Won't always be possible, of course. Excellent idea! I love your workmanship!
You never had to say subscribe, cause we all just did the first time we watched one of your videos. Great idea and an awesome result. Couple of different types of timber could also look amazing. Thanks for all your hard work.
OMG !!! You’re brilliant!!!!!!! I just tried this on a project I was working on (serendipitously I came across your video, while I was racking my brain on how to get around blending 3 different boards)... anyway, The technique you showed is not only cool and clever it saved me a lot of time! The glue up went super well. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! Next time I’m in AMS (granted we have to get they this pandemic first) I will invite you to the Jordaan find a cool bar and buy you a beer 🍺!! Prost!
A friend gave me a lot of off cuts milled from a 100 year old American black walnut. Odd shapes, live edge, beautiful wild figured grain. I couldn't figure out how to join it without wasting too much of it. YOU SOLVED IT FOR ME! THANKS! I would have never thought of using hot glue as a clamp. Curved cuts reduce the waste. Brilliant.
Ridiculuous how simple this idea is - so clever. I can't believe I never thought of it, nor seen it prior. EDIT: Your happy face of pride at the end reveal is awesome. Great work
best part about watching this video, was watching the pure joy on your face as it worked out. Also, love the organic look as well. as someone who does not have a planer/jointer, this could make it actually possible to do a big solid wood top. Thanks Laura!
You have me laughing at 5:57! I do the same thing when I'm sanding large surfaces too! PS: The curvy glue line probably also prevents the boards from shifting side to side, cool!
Hi Laura, Nice! I love the weight on the sander! Totally stealing that trick ;) Thanks for sharing this, what a joy to watch. I have done the same thing with the bandsaw joint lines myself, using double sided tape as the temporary ' fixing method. The wavy lines look cool, but I never get quite as tight and good glue joints as I want (maybe my bandsaw's just not in the same class?). I love that you can get much more out of boards this way though, especially if you spend the time to line up defects and bits you want to cut off with protruding bits on other boards. I did have to chuckle at the 'less work' rational when you pulled out the router sled! Thanks again. Peace, Bongo.
That was also my only concern with this, any deflection in the blade might cause a less than perfect fitting joint, but the tecnique is awesome. I used it on a very small scale as a test of my (then) new bandsaw and it worked great. Also, I don't think it'll fit on my small bandsaw, but that does not detract from what a great idea this is.
@@RobertEchten It would be a different effect in the end but do you suppose it would work with a tablesaw? You'd have to have a straight edge to work against so that you don't get any twist but then you would have the rigidness of the saw blade in your favor. Different character but, for someone who has a nice tablesaw but no bandsaw it would be an option.
@@Beschaulichkeit I think that yes, that works. It's basically the same as the method where you cut each side of a board with the board either up or down. So, Let's say you mark the left side of the board as UP and the right side as DOWN. Then when you want to cut the left side, you place the board with the mark up and when you cut the right side, you place the board with the mark down (ie. on the table saw surface). With that method, you cancel out any error in the blade not being exactly 90 degrees (or you could even set it to another angle on purpose for effect or more glue surface). So the two angles of two side by side boards match up anyway. Not exactly the same as Lauren's method, but you get the same result (minus, as you said, the organic curves).
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE??? This was a wonderful inspiration. Even though I don't have a 30" bandsaw (I could have but it was too tall for my garage), I figured out the "jointing" with a jigsaw as you were bandsawing (long jigsaw blades I already have -- bought in Berlin). The router/planer was something I knew about and had seen once in a furniture shop in Louisiana but I like your simple jig. As soon as I am done with a bunch of other projects (table saw rebuild, new router table...) I will try that technique to make some breadboards -- which are really just miniature tabletops. Lord knows I have enough wood out in the garage... This video popped up in my suggestion list this evening and I am very glad it did.
Laura, this is a fantastic innovation. Additionally, it is nice to see how proud of yourself you are, and rightfully so. Such a simple technique, elegant and, like you said, cool. Well done. I've been a subcriber for a little while and this vid is your best.
ich hab schon länger drüber nachgedacht, aber nie so richtig angefangen! Danke für die "Anleitung", jetzt wird's sicher direkt klappen! Das ist sowas von genial, da die Maserung auch nie in geraden Linien verläuft! Mega! LG nach Köln
I had a guess that you might have used some kind of clever scribing technique to do this, but no! This is so clever and much easier! I will remember this for the future. 😊❤👍
... that is legitimately genius. the slabs don't have to reference against a known square if they reference against each other! I learn so much from you, thank you!
It's a brillant idea! I love it. I'm surprised that no one mentioned the amount of wood waste! I don't know how the wood movement would work on the piece later. Maybe a follow up video in a few months? Anyway, that's not important right now. The thing is: it's a great approach, it looks wonderful, it's material efficient producing almost no waste and allows to be less precise on measurements. Marvelous, Laura!!! Fantastic work!
Bin mir nicht sicher - kommt darauf an, was mit der Platte gemacht wird. Wenn du sie auf einem Unterrahmen (wie bei einem klassischen Tisch) fixierst, sollte es ohne Gratleiste gehen, oder täusche ich mich?
Grasping for straws. There is a reason it is done the way it is done (and I'm sure this method won't see the light of your shop in the future). 1) If you select and prepare your slabs, the precision of the "old way" makes the straight lines basically disappear (as apposed to the obvious visual gaps due to the in-precision of the "new method"; I guess, if your making a picnic table), 2) It wasn't mentioned in the final summary, so I'm guessing it didn't actually take less time and even if it took the same, or slightly less time, 3) that router method is more physical labor than Jointer/Thicknesser. I can see saying, "this is a method for building a solid wood tabletop if you only have a router/band saw, but not a jointer", but promoting this method and not being honest about the inferior joints is where the miss happened. Also, the first step is to HAND PLANE? Maybe something is lost in translation, but the way does not look easy. Different? Yes. Unique? Not really. Save some money on wood? Maybe. Less work? Debatable. Artistic possibilities? Yes. I know some people think harsh criticism is akin to "attacking", but it's not. There was nothing personal in there. I still love this channel a lot. Laura Kampf is often on the edge of Diresta territory, but this video would be more at home on Rinoa's Auspicious Travels.
Wait a minute or two. OK. ?!?!?!, OK. WOW, Laura, I have never seen any woodworker or maker do something like this!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪. Woman you are fantastic!!!
Actually planing the wood on the short side is already an extra step. You can very easily just to that with just a circular saw or table saw. If the wood isn't to thick you can do two slabs at once. A jigsaw would also work. And yes planing can also be done afterwards with a router. 👍🏻nicely done 👍🏻😎
Excellent. Very clever. This is a project that can be done without a full wood shop. The weighted sander was a great addition. No wood dowels or biscuits another plus. You inspired me to build a small router jig, for a simple project.
Nice video. This technique has been used for years by those of us who hang and paste wallpaper and I'm glad it works so well for lumber. Genius stroke to do that so hats off to you... I seems to give a lovely contrast between grains.
I've been away from your channel for a while, but after watching this video, for the life of me, I don't know why. What you do is SO cool and inventive. Great stuff, Laura. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Laura!!! Your 'wobbly line' is sort of a form of 'kinematic coupling' used in mechanical engineering design to ensure perfect connections (eliminate Degrees of Freedom). And your router technique a brilliant human powered version of 'spoilboard surfacing' done by CNC milling machines. Love your channel. Love your work. Love your energy and big smile. Can't wait for the next installment!!
This like you said "looks more organic" and the glue surface ✅. If I'm ever in a position to make a huge table top, this is the way. Thanks for the brilliance in which is you!
I have made a few all wood tops before and I really do like the way you joined them. Even if you were to run the through the planer first to get the boards the same thickness the join does give it character. Great job.
that is ridiculously cool. As I was watching the edges go together I was thinking it just looked so....right! Wood isn't square. Cutting it to highlight the natural curve of the live edge is amazing.
Hammer Methode! Der Schritt mit Oberfräse kostet sicherlich auch viel Zeit, aber insgesamt wirkt es echt fix. Ich finde es auf jeden Fall super, dass echt wenig Material verloren geht! Danke für die Inspiration! Das versuche ich sicher auch einmal!
I'm just getting started in the workshop and I was losing motivation recently. Your videos give me the little kick I need to go down there and build stuff. They're just a delight to watch. I love the instruction blocks you use ("let glue dry"). It makes the steps so much more seamless!
Very nice ideas ! Especially the organic cut and the weighted sander. Hope to see more of such alternative techniques on your channel. Grüsse aus Belgien !
I love the organic edge of the board, with rectangle of the table. When I was younger, I loved live edge, but I got tired of everything looking, like I just nailed together. The natural flow you have, seems superior to the extremely ridged look of most wooden working. Thank much.
Wow Laura that was a great way to make it. And I agree I love the organic aspect of not having the straight lines. I also think it would add strength to the joint due to the curves. Sort of fitting like a puzzle! Thanks for the idea. Can't wait to try it. Sincerely Ed
What an amazing looking board! I love the curved lines fitting together! The router bit seems like a lot of work but is a genius way of getting the job done without a planer!
Your ideas are so great, thanks! I am currently working on a table top for a small desk for my kid, I use only hand tools so I planed each pair of adjacent boards together, this way it is not crucial to plane at 90 degrees, because it will add up to 180 anyway. It's not a new trick... but it is in the neighborhood of your trick of cutting in pairs. Thanks for the inspiration!
Weighted sander is a stroke of genius. 👌
Yes, it helps ensure a consistent pressure on the wood. 👍
You stole my comment 😄
I got an even better one, have your kids do it.
I gaspeded
@@juanchaidez3569 not everyone has kids pal
The weighed sander, the router leveling, the overlapping cuts, this video blew my mind 3 times over!
Yet another contender for what future woodworking journals will refer to as, "the Kampf method."
The two main obstacles I see to that becoming a reality are Stigler's law of eponymy, which poses a problem because she actually came up with this method, and some potential confusion among German speakers who would find the name somewhat misleading: what struggle?

Leveling with a router is not exactly "fast" but the assembly technique seems great to me. In my case, I do not have a wood planer, it is a great option.
I thinks its not that much slower than the traditional planner. You can take 5mm in one go with the router easy
A more traditional way would be with a scrub plane. Both planes and the router are meditative, unlike a screaming thickness planer.
It would go faster with one of the wide flattening bits (up to 20mm per pass with some of them), but those are relatively expensive.
CNC all the tops!
it's also faster because you save the whole step of needing to create dimensional lumber. you jump right from rough sawn lumber to gluing it up as a table top.
This is really inspirational and such a wonderful way to improve on making a beautiful table. Thank you for always showing us new and creative ways to make the world more beautiful!

Time, craftsmen tricks and using one's head equals a lot of business for the shop. Great work young lady.
I like the organic effect of the joints. Leaving the live edge on the long sides would enhance that effect even more. Won't always be possible, of course. Excellent idea!
I love your workmanship!
Had the same idea about the live edge. Tears came out when I saw Laura grabbing the tracksaw and cutting straight...

So beautifull. The flow just feels right. Will try this in my next tabletop
Very beautiful and organic table top. Can't wait to see the design for the base of this table. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
That was awesome! I agree with you. It gives the joint between the boards so much character!
I have made a few all wood tops before and I really do like the way you joined them. Even if you were to run the through the planer first to get the boards the same thickness the join does give it character. Great job.

those curve joints...BRILLIANT! it is a fresh idea. I would love to be able to do that in the future!

Your ideas are so great, thanks!
I am currently working on a table top for a small desk for my kid, I use only hand tools so I planed each pair of adjacent boards together, this way it is not crucial to plane at 90 degrees, because it will add up to 180 anyway. It's not a new trick... but it is in the neighborhood of your trick of cutting in pairs.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Never thought to stack the edges and bandsaw them for a unique fit. Great idea and it turned out great!

Congrats and thank you for showing this technique.
