This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
unfortunately this was for another family :( I definitely didnt want to let it go haha. I will make one for my family someday though and I hope you are right and remember me. Its cool to think you can live on through your work
Hey man, just wanted to say “Thank you” for these vids. I used your videos to build my wife a table and it really turned out great. She loves it, and I wouldn’t have known how without the instruction. God bless!
I like the idea of not using screws and using the draw bore technique. Your joinery looked perfect and the finished table is gorgeous. Love the beefy trestle design. Excellent work and a great video. Thanks for sharing.
WOW its super cool when someone like you (who ive learned so much from on TH-cam) finds and gives me a nice comment like that. Thanks so much! It means a lot to me!
Just finished mine based off your plans Chris. Being it was my first big woodworking project and first time trying joinery I think it went pretty well. None of my joints are as clean and crisp as yours but I learned alot. Mad respect for how you and other woodworkers on TH-cam who make stuff look so effortless.
The wife is wanting a table for our screened in back porch. I have watched a ton of videos and they all use kreg screws and deck screws holding everything together. They look like something you would get from a big box store. Been thinking how to do these same tables but with non of the boring fasteners. I am a beginner but love the details of this table and will use your methods. Will have to sacrifice and use cheaper pine, can’t afford oak but look forward to the challenge.
When I see these skills I know there is a future for our planet, such patience and complex task control is humbling. Beautiful and I would buy your furniture in a heartbeat. Thankyou.
A great project, to create a thing of beauty that will last many generations is very satisfying, the older and more worn it gets the lovelier it will look as the years go by. You're the man.
It's like magic seeing that table come together! It's also amazing watch it done mainly with hand tools and no metal fixings. You are an artist as well as a carpenter!
I have had some white oak timber drying in my garage for about two years now so it should be about right to start my Roubo workbench using that moisture stabilized wood. The joinery you used on that table will certainly pertain to my making the workbench. Well done, both the project and the video. I am SO appreciative that you didn't have music blaring between your voice overs.
Chris that Table is amazing!!! Dude i cant wait to see the detailed videos!!! Im going to have to steal some of your joinery for some projects the wife has for me
Not sure who gives this guy a thumbs down. He just showed mad skills with hand and power tools. Love watching these videos, so much fun. I love wood working too. Not sure how he does this without cursing or throwing tools, editing I guess.
Pure Craftsmanship! You just took us to school my friend...Here’s to pray’n my wife doesn’t see this and expects me to build one!!! Thanks for the lesson Boss!
Thank you! Background as far as woodoworking? I started woodworking with my Grandpa in his shop when I was a young boy and would go do projects with him from time to time. When he passed 2 years ago I really dove into my own journey in woodworking and gravitated towards the handtool stuff
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman Awesome dude. I lost my grandpa in 2011. I wish I would have made it a point to build more things with him. He was a craftsman as well. I've not tackled anything like this but I've taken on several projects and always wish he was around for them. My most recent is a built-in lighted bookshelf, 9'x14', I certainly had some questions to ask him going through that! Your grandpa's legacy lives on in your work dude. Keep hammering!
BEST COMMENT YET! LOL I feel the same way. I wanted to build a table but I would have to sell my car to afford HALF the tools required to accomplish this build. And even if I had ALL his tools I'd still f it up
What an amazing table, Chris! You did such an awesome job with it! I wish I had a tenth of your skill with hand tools!! I can't believe that there's no fasteners in that thing, that's so cool! I would have gone through about 8 boxes of deck screws to hold my version together! lol! So if you had to, can you pound out the pegs to remove the top? Or is that on there permanently? Truly a stunning piece, Chris... fantastic job!
Hey Drew! Man, thanks again for all the kind words, making a guy blush! Yes, you can very easily remove the dowels that hold the top to the base so that it easily comes off for moving. Im actually kind of proud of that little idea haha.
That was just about as good as a video on a table build can get. I understand how some may desire a longer version that is more in depth. This is more for entertainment, although you can get a general idea of the build.
Really really well done! How many hours would you say you have in this build? I totally wanted you to keep that table natural. I think it would've looked flawless. I'm a sucker for natural Oak though. Great build either way!
Hey Will, Thanks brother, much appreciated. Id say there is about 60-80 hours in it. granted filming really slowed me down, but it was definitely a long one. All those M&Ts take time too. I agree with you on natural wood too, but this was for a customer who wanted it stained, that being said, I am really happy with how this stain looked. Oak is so easily ruined with stain, so im happy how this turned out.
I also would have preferred a natural oak finish, but it still looked great, and the design is absolutely fantastic. You are very talented at designing your projects, looking forward to the next one.
Beautifully made and almost entirely with hand tools. Excellent work!!!!! I do envy you working in a lovely dry climate. Its always raining in england and its hard to keep my tools rust free.
Thanks David, i appreciate that. That sucks you have all that rain, that would get frustrating for sure. Have you tried a crystillined wax like Renaissance Wax? Lee Valley also sells a tool protecting wax. It forms a nice protective layer on your tools to prevent rust. I use it on all my tools and ive noticed a big improvement. Its better than oiling them.
I truly admire the patience you have and the work you do with hand tools. I do quite a few products with hand tools and it gives me amazing satisfaction.
bonjour, je suis d'origine française, et je suis tomber part hasard sur cette vidéo. Sincèrement, elle est vraiment très bien: je suis vraiment impressionner part tous le travail et la qualité de cette superbe table. Je ne suis pas doué de mes mains, donc je vraiment émerveillé par le talent d'autres personnes avec leurs mains et surtout quand celles-ci ont servis à crée quelque chose d'aussi beau et en bois qui plus est. Je me suis abonné et j'ai vraiment hâte de découvrir d'autres vidéos d'aussi bonne qualité.
Done with all the characteristic patience of a genuine craftsman. Very enjoyable to watch. And the finished product - just beautiful. Thank you for this well-presented video.
I’ve been playing with different ideas to attach the top for a trestle table. You came up with an awesome way to do that. Thank you for the very informative video
Man. I built this exact table a few years back and didn't have the time, tools, space or skill to do it like this, but I really wanted to. I think after my last two years of projects and classes and tool aquisition, I could do it, but I still don't have the TIME!! But, dang, this video had all the things I want to try! Draw born bread board ends, timber frames knee braces, the hand-cut dove tail. I loved it. Makes me want to put all my other projects on hold.
Holy crap man. You’re humble. Bringing fine wood working to people like me. I don’t like feeling as if I’m not good enough to watch something haha. Thanks for being normal and also making an insane product. This is awesome
Growing up in Mexico....I learned how to do hand cut joins, shape tenons...drill using hand tools...assemble piece by piece....then deliver a loved piece of furniture free of metal...now, everything is made in fckn china.....awesome work man!!.....master no doubt!
Thanks for posting such an easy to understand video. Excellent job. I am excited for future videos as are all of the other "amateur" carpenters in the world.
I think you did an very nice job on this table. Excellent work on all the mortise and tenon joints and the draw boring. With all the work that it took to produce this table, I would have spent a few extra dollars on quartersawn white oak for the top. I think the medullary rays and straighter grain would have sent this over the top in its appearance. Again, awesome job, this is a really beautiful table.
this was a nice sunday morning watch. i've gotten a great idea for my diy pine computer desk build, watched some very pretty looking wood get cut into a fine craft work table and also got inspired to try more hand made joinery. your video has a nice dynamic flow of videography and narration was excellent.
It's sheer joy to watch you making these masterpieces, you have great relationship with wood... You can make it work like what ever you can... Amazing! 🙏
Amazing table sir! I really enjoy your videos because of your respect for hand tools. Power tools have their place but hand tools is where it's at. I hope you are keeping this table as a heirloom. Your a craftsman, Thanks
Absolutely love your work here chris. The table was flawless. And your hand tools game is strong my friend i can never cut as good as that. Keep making this videos man your teaching ALOT of people. Love your stuff!!
Beautiful table! And you have a great filmmaker's mind. You know what we want to see and when we want you to explain stuff and when we want you to stop talking lol. Great job man!
In a world filled with resin river tables, I'm much more impressed with this. Beautiful work man. Absolutely beautiful.
Ahah!! Finally, someone else who agrees with me! Too much live edge and river epoxy!
It's crazy how much they charge for those soulless plastic tables
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Incredible build! In a world of mass produced furniture it is refreshing to watch a true craftsman at work.
Thanks Rob, The crap they sell now is exactly why I build stuff like this.
Superb - generations of your family will sit at this table and talk about their great grandfather/uncle who was an excellent craftsman......well done!
unfortunately this was for another family :( I definitely didnt want to let it go haha. I will make one for my family someday though and I hope you are right and remember me. Its cool to think you can live on through your work
Hey man, just wanted to say “Thank you” for these vids. I used your videos to build my wife a table and it really turned out great. She loves it, and I wouldn’t have known how without the instruction. God bless!
So glad I could help friend!
I like the idea of not using screws and using the draw bore technique. Your joinery looked perfect and the finished table is gorgeous. Love the beefy trestle design. Excellent work and a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Looks fantastic! I really dig all the draw boring and pegs, gives it a great feel.
Thanks Caleb! Drawbored M&Ts are my absolute favorite!
I thought i saw a lot in the world of woodmaking but this really blows me away! No words for this project!! Really...
Extremely well done video and table design/execution.
WOW its super cool when someone like you (who ive learned so much from on TH-cam) finds and gives me a nice comment like that. Thanks so much! It means a lot to me!
Jointery
Just finished mine based off your plans Chris. Being it was my first big woodworking project and first time trying joinery I think it went pretty well. None of my joints are as clean and crisp as yours but I learned alot. Mad respect for how you and other woodworkers on TH-cam who make stuff look so effortless.
I've been looking around a lot different woodwork, never seen so much dedication and perfection. DUDE you create masterpieces!
The wife is wanting a table for our screened in back porch. I have watched a ton of videos and they all use kreg screws and deck screws holding everything together. They look like something you would get from a big box store. Been thinking how to do these same tables but with non of the boring fasteners.

WOW awesome craftsmanship.
It takes extreme patience to take the time to build on it and to be so detail-oriented my hat goes off to you sir
Thanks Randall I appreciate that. Patience was key indeed.
you found your calling..... not all of us....will ever reach the level of precision you possess.....keep building!
When I see these skills I know there is a future for our planet, such patience and complex task control is humbling. Beautiful and I would buy your furniture in a heartbeat. Thankyou.
That’s some serious craftsmanship and will be around decades after a lot of the other stuff has been returned to the earth. Great job!
Thanks Man. I certainly hope so! Its cool to think that this thing I built will be around long after I die.
There is something so relaxing watching the use of hand tools making such a beautiful thing. Nice work.
Thank you. that is part of the reason I like using them too... relaxing!
Great job! It’s good to see others that appreciate mortise and tenon craftsmanship.
A great project, to create a thing of beauty that will last many generations is very satisfying, the older and more worn it gets the lovelier it will look as the years go by. You're the man.
It's like magic seeing that table come together! It's also amazing watch it done mainly with hand tools and no metal fixings. You are an artist as well as a carpenter!
Thanks for the kind words Glen, I totally agree that it can be magical.
Huge respect man. I know I only saw this 2yrs after but this first class. Thank you making this video and showing what real craftsmanship looks like.
Almost entirely built using hand tools. That's old skool, I love it! Especially the hand drill for the mortises. Well done.
I like how you use the brace and bit to drill the holes. old-school definitely
Man, that thing is just gorgeous! I like the method for attaching the top. Very clever.
Thanks Bruce! I pretty happy with how that turned out haha
I have had some white oak timber drying in my garage for about two years now so it should be about right to start my Roubo workbench using that moisture stabilized wood. The joinery you used on that table will certainly pertain to my making the workbench. Well done, both the project and the video. I am SO appreciative that you didn't have music blaring between your voice overs.
Beautiful work, though I wish you hadn't stained the oak.
Incredible work! In a world of hardware and pocket holes, it's so refreshing to see someone doing real woodworking! Thank you!
That's a beautiful table :) ॐ
Not an anti-power tool guy, but the hand tools use on this project is wonderful craftsmanship. Bravo.
Great project and execution Chris. Bravo!
Thank you sir. I really appreciate you stopping by and sending some love!
That is real woodworking, it turned out great just like all your other videos.
Thanks Darren, I really appreciate the kind words! keeps me going!
Chris that Table is amazing!!! Dude i cant wait to see the detailed videos!!! Im going to have to steal some of your joinery for some projects the wife has for me
Thanks bud! do it! you find them very rewarding :) Ill keep an eye out for the pictures!
Usually not a fan of these farmhouse tables, but wow this is beautiful!
me neither! they are a dime a dozen too, but I thought I could make it special with the way I built it.
Just watched it for the second time. Truly inspiring.
haha yes! that is awesome thanks so much for watching
Excellent work. Watching that angled tenon slide in was very satisfying!
hahaha, for sure! it was even more satsifying in person!
Beautiful heirloom.
Insane amounts of hand work... gorgeous
Thanks Brian. Definitely a lot of work, but very enjoyable and rewarding :)
INCREDIBLE! Truly inspiring man!
Thanks Wesley, glad you checked it out bud. Hows the shop been treating you lately?
My shop time has been pretty minimal lately. I've had a lot on my plate. Trying to finish up school. I should be back at it soon!
You and only a few other DIY youtubers really understand how to work with wood. Thank you for this video.
haha thanks joe, I really appreciate that!
awesome work mate. can't wait to see the detailed version.
what wood is the table made of? Thank you
Oak
Just got the plans! Looks like a lot of fun.
seus trabalhos são excelente
parabens pelo profissionalismo
Not sure who gives this guy a thumbs down. He just showed mad skills with hand and power tools. Love watching these videos, so much fun. I love wood working too. Not sure how he does this without cursing or throwing tools, editing I guess.
That tables more structurally sound that half the roofs I've worked on! 😂
Pure Craftsmanship! You just took us to school my friend...Here’s to pray’n my wife doesn’t see this and expects me to build one!!! Thanks for the lesson Boss!
haha. thanks man! too funny. But at the same time she wont be able to complain about you being out in the shop :)
Seriously, you’re young and have mad skills. What’s your background?
Thank you! Background as far as woodoworking? I started woodworking with my Grandpa in his shop when I was a young boy and would go do projects with him from time to time. When he passed 2 years ago I really dove into my own journey in woodworking and gravitated towards the handtool stuff

That’s very nice! I’ve been putting a table build off for a while....you have inspired me to begin. Much thanks!
Awesome! good luck and please share some pictures of the build with me!
i tried to work along but i ended up with a pile of firewood, a divorce and even my dog hates me now.
What a beautiful piece of furniture. At least it was till you put that disgusting stain on it.
Still have it a thumbs up though.
daskraut 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO
So sorry about the dog.
BEST COMMENT YET! LOL I feel the same way. I wanted to build a table but I would have to sell my car to afford HALF the tools required to accomplish this build. And even if I had ALL his tools I'd still f it up
Joe gag you don’t need power tools, all you really need is a drill, some drill bits, a few chisels, a mallet, a good saw and a hand plane or 2
That is probably the most bad ass table I've ever seen made. My hat is off to you sir, excellent job!
What an amazing table, Chris! You did such an awesome job with it! I wish I had a tenth of your skill with hand tools!! I can't believe that there's no fasteners in that thing, that's so cool!

Please tell me you didn’t just stain hardwood.
Speechless.
Enviable project.
Congratulations and very kind of you to share.
Greetings and peace and well-being for you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words lorenzo! The same to you sir!
Que tienes en contra de la maquinaria eléctrica?
Esta muy cara🤣
That table will last for ever. Amazing woodworking skills.
Thanks Ronnie. It should definitley last long if it getting taken care of
Dude, that level of precision, not even in my dreams, great built.

Thanks Tom, im glad you found it too :)
UNREAL CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!!!! WOW!!!
Man. I built this exact table a few years back and didn't have the time, tools, space or skill to do it like this, but I really wanted to. I think after my last two years of projects and classes and tool aquisition, I could do it, but I still don't have the TIME!! But, dang, this video had all the things I want to try!

Haha yea Mike this thing definitely had it all. Don't worry you'll find time before too long. :)
Wow.... This channel is my new addiction. Excellent work!
haha. good, im glad to hear! thanks for the support bud!
gorgeous! something about the feel when watching alot of joints go together so flawlessly! Good job!
its sigh of relief too haha
Holy crap man. You’re humble. Bringing fine wood working to people like me. I don’t like feeling as if I’m not good enough to watch something haha. Thanks for being normal and also making an insane product. This is awesome
This is the most durable table build I have seen to date. Well done 👍
LOVIT, Awesome Job and the use of Drawing all the Joints Together Nice n Tight !
Well Done and Thx’s for Sharing

Thank you. Yea theres always people out there hatin on other peoples work haha
Great video as always. Glad to see your sanding issues seem to have been fixed. The table came out very well.
The sanding issues almost killed me but yes I made it haha
I think you did an very nice job on this table. Excellent work on all the mortise and tenon joints and the draw boring. With all the work that it took to produce this table, I would have spent a few extra dollars on quartersawn white oak for the top. I think the medullary rays and straighter grain would have sent this over the top in its appearance. Again, awesome job, this is a really beautiful table.
You dont see craftsmanship like this hardly anymore
this was a nice sunday morning watch. i've gotten a great idea for my diy pine computer desk build, watched some very pretty looking wood get cut into a fine craft work table and also got inspired to try more hand made joinery. your video has a nice dynamic flow of videography and narration was excellent.
It's sheer joy to watch you making these masterpieces, you have great relationship with wood... You can make it work like what ever you can... Amazing! 🙏
My jaw was on the floor the whole time....wow! Beautiful craftmanship man!
Beautiful Table - Well Built - Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim, My pleasure
This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen.
Great video to showcase design, tools and techniques all at once. I'm looking forward to the expanded version. Clyde
Thanks so much Clyde, I hope it will be of some value to you.
Ok, wow. That thing looks like you could park a truck on top of it. You should absolutely be proud of that. Well done sir.
It is very inspiring to see such artisanship and watching your videos is a truly exceptional pleasure.
Such a great build! I love seeing all those classic woodworking techniques!
Thanks hunter. They are very fun and rewarding to build too
I love your old style wood working
So inspiring to watch you create this wonderful table. You are an artisan!!
idk wat to say but its so nice, ur craftsmanship is so great.. 👍 god bless u
Amazing table sir!
I really enjoy your videos because of your respect for hand tools.
Power tools have their place but hand tools is where it's at.
I hope you are keeping this table as a heirloom. Your a craftsman,
Thanks
Hey greg, thanks for the kind words. I agree, hand tools are where its at :) I wish that table was mine, but it was a commissioned piece.
Absolutely love your work here chris. The table was flawless. And your hand tools game is strong my friend i can never cut as good as that. Keep making this videos man your teaching ALOT of people. Love your stuff!!
WELL DONE!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL TABLE!!!!!!!!

Beautiful table! And you have a great filmmaker's mind. You know what we want to see and when we want you to explain stuff and when we want you to stop talking lol. Great job man!
Thank you. I'm really trying to get good at the whole filming and editing thing, it has been a major learning experience for sure!
how could you possibly dislike this video.. this is Art! Well done!
