Not sure if I clicked the right place to reply. Great looking table and I appreciate the mistakes and how to over come them I have learned far more from my mistakes then when everything goes correctly not that that happens to me to often. Can you tell me is that a little cabinet scraper laying on the bench in one of the sanding sections of the video and can you let me know so you like it and if so where do I get one? Thank you.
I started this wonderful hobby two years ago. I have watched and learned from literally thousands of videos. I now follow great teachers that have taught me so much. But I rarely like their designs. Not for me. Now I have found @Keith Johnson Custom Woodworking channel! And fallen in love with his designs. It is exactly what I have been looking for! THANKS FOR SHARING!
Great video Keith. Really glad you choose to stay on this platform. I think it’s important that talented people like you share the complexity and challenges of good woodwork. It’s inspiring to those interested in learning and a valuable lesson to those who wonder why custom work seems expensive. The quality of your work is why it’s worth it.
Totally agree. There is a bigger problem to me, that aesthetically this table doesn’t quite work. The “legs” are too wide. The radius where the base meets the legs is too big. The easiest way to balance this design wound be to put a large radius on the bottom corner of each leg. The table top is too small for the base. An overhang of a couple of inches would look better.
If I got a dollar everytime a woodworker on TH-cam says "I use a Domino only for alignment, nog for strenght. The woodglue is plenty strong enough by itself"... I could easily buy two Domino's 😅
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking haha I figured. And right you are. It's one handy piece of kit. Someday I'll have one. When I do, I'm gonna use that phrase when ever I can 😉
Your projects are always beautiful and your process (even the mistakes) is fun and educational to watch--but the voiceovers really make the video a must-see, and I mean several times. Like a great movie, with star actors like Lola and Jerry!
This is where you can tell a profesional and efficient woodworker from a newb It's not in making mistakes (we all make them and we all get tired and distracted some times) it's in how we fix them!
Sometimes when a product is looked at, we may think, “No big whoop”. Until you see the amount of finesse that goes into a product like your table. Incredible. So, if you were asked to make another, do you use this existing piece to use as a giant template and write down everything you can think of, so the next one goes a bit smoother? One observation noticed (and helped me to feel, “It’s okay”,) is that (my son and I being newbies), seems like my Laguna table saw gets loaded up with every measuring device, clamp, chisel, sanding block, Woodpecker anything and everything, and anything else that we can jam onto the surface… almost within 5 minutes. Like maniacs.
Hey Rick. I rarely make the same piece twice because that doesn't make good content 😜. And I still have the template for the curved legs and all the dimensions, so it's pretty cut and dry if I had to make another one. And yes, every horizontal surface seems to attract everything and anything to it almost immediately 😂
I love the contrast between the round-over on the legs and corner of the table top against the sharp edge of the table top. Great piece. Thanks for sharing.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I wish I could have my cats In the shop with me, but I work off site in a commercial building they wouldn't like being there
This table arrived well packaged and on time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
Great video and narration etc. Awfully spot-on film making atop everything else. Immensely enjoyable to watch. Kuddo's from a California cabinetmaker. Love the fur crew.
It’s a lovely piece in the end, after all your battle! For what it’s worth I think you were right about it needing more overhang though, but the customer is always right I guess.
Love it! It amazing how much effort and craftsmanship you put in your work! It iso great that you continue to put out these type of educational videos that you can actually learn from. There is very little like that out there on TH-cam. Thanks so much for what you do!
You should make yourself a sanding glove. Cut strips of velcro from a disc sander interface pad and CA glue them to the fingers of an old cotton glove. It makes doing the fiddly sanding like those half laps a lot less stressful on your hands.
I'd sure like a tour of your drawers.. noticed your of course very good organization setup. I need to do the same. I've been looking forard to seeing this video since hearing you talk about it on the podcast to see how it turned out.
Beautiful table. Your attention to detail and precision work is admirable. Plus I appreciate that you admit you're a mere mortal and made a few mistakes 😂.
Beautiful table Keith! I love Oak wook. Awesome job! Ur patients is so much bigher than mine lol. The way you planned the glue up was tricky for sure. Happy Holidays! Wil
I love everything about this piece - the design, the process, the attention to detail - but the way you solved that geometry mistake: that was absolute gold. I think I'm gonna watch this again 🙂
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking hey you're welcome, haven't seen one of your builds for a while, do enjoy your narrative too. thanks for taking the time
Could have tapered the legs towards a narrower top. First time ive found your channel. Subscribed for the humour and Jerry, and Lulu, and also your content.
What dado stack do you use? I get crazy tearout on white oak when using a dado stack in the method you did for the 30 degree half lap joints. Thanks! Love the piece!
Thanks very much! I’m not sure which one I was using here, but traditionally I use the Infinity Tools Dadonator 8 inch. Now, I mostly use the sawstop dado stack because it’s a little more compatible with the saw. They both work fantastic.
Beautiful work. I'm a huge fan of white oak and I really like the design. So.. One Jersey boy to another... where do you get your lumber. I'm always looking for a good source of materials and providers. Looking forward to the next piece in the set..
What a wonderful piece of furniture! A pleasure to watch, as always. I really appreciate your honesty and sharing your thoughts when dealing with an issue. Thanks Keith!
So beautiful, man. I’m always impressed at how resourceful you are and how much I learn from you. I know sometimes you have second guessed yourself on this platform, but no one else has this nice of a mix between skillfulness and didacticness (pretty sure I came up with these 2 words lol but you get the point) as you on here. I might make a coffee table like this, hopefully you don’t mind me stealing the design haha. Ok maybe I’ll change it just a bit lol. Great job once again!
Thanks very much for the comment. I greatly appreciate the feedback. It's definitely a struggle to create a mix of entertainment and "how to" on every video.
Wow love this table! A very tiny change I would have made here, this is a personal taste thing but I always like when two "parallel" curves are following each other, I like to make the curves marry more aesthetically for me by adding the offset between the curves to the outer radius. So on the table top, when rounding over the corners, you'd actually take the radius of the table leg and instead of directly templating that onto the radius of the table top's rounding, adding the amount inset the legs are going to be to the radius of the tabletop corner's curve. Idk if that makes sense, kinda hard to describe in words haha. But regardless a beautiful table, and you will probably never even be looking at it from underneath to even notice lol
Beautiful table, my only concern is having the base so large that if the floor that it is sitting on is not perfectly flat you will get a wobble. I would have raised the bottom stretchers up maybe a quarter of an inch so you would have only four points touching the floor, beautiful craftsmanship though:)
I love this project, it turned out looking fantastic. I did have a question though, when using Rubio how do you know which one to use? I've never used it but I want to try it on some live edge ambrosia maple rounds that I'm making into end tables. I'm thinking either smoke or pure, what do you think?
I don't really recommend any color of Rubio on maple as it will eventually turn it yellow/orange in a year or so. If you want to maintain the lightness of the maple, I recommend a water based finish like General Finishes High Performance Top Coat, which is non yellowing. If you have a sprayer, it sprays nicely.
@Keith Johnson Custom Woodworking awesome, I'll try that, thank you...and please don't stop doing what you're doing, I can't be the only grumpy veteran you've inspired to take their woodworking to the next level. 🤔
Beautiful sir! Quick question though, does your miter saw not have a trenching feature or depth stop? That would’ve made your life a lot easier on the half lap.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Ah! Ok thanks. I just watched Jason's video this morning and already went out to burn it all in my solo stove. You guys gotta be careful- we will absolutely anything you say.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Haha, Keith that's hard for me- there's gonna be the perfect use for this curved 8/4 cut-off that will only be revealed the second I burn it. Right?
Beautiful work and really entertaining video - thank you kitties 😻. Oh and you are kind of funny too Keith. When it comes to round overs I learned to do them on assembled pieces only - did one simple monitor stand with tons of round overs and got burned quite a few times 🙂.
When I was much younger a screw up would send me into a panic , I'd have to stop and walk away sometimes until the next day. Nowadays I just give myself a quick insult then go right into fix it mode.
Beautiful coffee table. I would love to see that in walnut. Since you’re really not a fan of mortising, perhaps you’re next to investment could be a mortising drill press. Definitely on my list when I grow up and become a fine woodworker.
