KJ delivers again!! Love seeing you have found love for posting here again :). By the way, for those who might be considering, the modern woodwork course is absolutely fantastic. So many tricks and tips! And a fantastic product at the end! Well done again KJ!!
Aged like a good wine :) Love it when beautiful wood, quality woodworking and great videography come together. Your commenting style is a joy. Truly a labor of love if I may say so!
Just found this video as I'm finishing up a very similar build for a customer! It's quite massive, too, with a 5" square column, but my braces aren't quite as thick. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one building thick furniture.
Johnson does it again. Well done. Classic KJ production. Loved it. I have a stash of 8/4 walnut I bought green and I’m ITCHING to build a table, in two years :(
Ok Keith, I Do Not Have Man Crush, but you’re a pretty BADASS woodworker! I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while now and just want to learn more and more from you. Thank you Keith. I think I can become good at woodworking too, if I keep learning…
Very nice. Even though it was years ago, cannot say that I’m not envious of you getting that walnut for that price. I think I’m at 16+ a bf for walnut.
Right before getting in bed and watching this video, I did a glue up. At 4:00, you reminded me I didn't check for square. I went and checked wearing nothing but my underwear.
Great work! Off the wall question maybe, do you have a vid or links on how to set up the measurements for the domino with the X leg pieces? Small detail yes but confusing if you’re just learning the domino.
I always love how we always say "don't forget to check for square" haha. As a newer woodworker if it wasn't square at that point all I would know to do is curse haha. What are some mediation tricks if you come to that point and you're not square or are you just screwed?
In this case, I could cut a slightly larger groove and put in an angled wedge to get it back to square when I did the dry fit. However, I would have checked that my miter gauge was square to my blade after I made my first test cut before I cut all the joinery.
Ok KJ, awesome work but you’ve heard that enough, right? So, for us beginners who dream of some day doing this ourselves, how about a heads up or guesstimate what it takes (time & materials) and what you’d sell it for on the retail end? I’d love nothing more than to build one for the wife (my test piece) while building one for a paying (& excited) client. Any help? Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, John
Awesome table Keith. I have a bunch of 8/4 walnut acclimating for a round pub table. I love the look of this table. Do you have plans available? If not, I guess you'll get a few more views from me.
Love the (classic) video! How do you deal with squeeze out when using epoxy? I'm always nervous to use it for glue ups because it's so messy, even with the benefit of more open time
For epoxy squeeze out, I wipe the excess with acetone. Nowadays, I use TotalBoat THIXO which is a 2-part thickened epoxy which is much easier to control how much of a mess you make because it doesn't run all over the place. It comes in a tube, like caulk, and uses a mixing tip to combine the 2 parts as it comes out of the tube. I swear by that stuff. Gives you about 30-35 minutes of open time.
Nice build, sir! My wife loves round tables and wants one for our new home next year (construction delayed due to high current materials costs!), and I’ve been studying designs. The biggest problem I have seen with center-post designs is that they wobble. Your design seems robust enough that it might not wobble as much as most, or maybe even not at all. Can you comment on that?
It varies. Sometimes it’s best to ask the client their budget and work backwards from there, so you don’t waste your time pricing something they can’t afford.
Thanks. I just got the 5/16 ones with your link. Also wanted to ask you how are the coatings doing on your tables? What’s the most durable one you’ve used so far without issues from your customers? I like the Osmo but I am concerned it’s not durable enough.
@@MixingGBP Osmo changed it's formula during Covid and isn't as durable. I've never had an issue with Rubio. If you really want to put an insurance coat on top, add Blacktail Studios N3 Nano ceramic coating. It's almost bulletproof.

Killer project, Morsels!
😜 Thanks bro! 👊🏻
Beautiful table. Love that you pulled out some old footage.
Thanks Angie!
I love the color of walnut. The table is amazing! No wonder it’s your favorite.
Thanks Patty! I would use walnut on every project if I could 😉

This table is gorgeous….WOW😮
Thanks man!
Wow! Spectacularly beautiful table. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much! So glad you liked it! 👍🏻🙌🏻
Beautiful table! I'd definitely pay $4 BF even if I have to wait a couple of years.
Thanks for sharing your talents!
Thanks Carl! Yeah, you gotta have a lot of patience at that price 😂
This table is absolutely gorgeous!! Incredible work and detailing!
Thanks y’all!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Beautiful job Keith!
Your attention to detail really puts you on another level. Well done.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that 👍 🙌
Un altro capolavoro di tecnica e precisione
🙏🏻👍🏻😎
Wow so much walnut.
Walnuttiness!! 😁
Beautiful workmanship
Thanks very much, Patricia!
I would love to take the full course on that console table. Still watching the video. But that looks awesome.
🙏🏻👍🏻😁
Johnson does it again. Well done. Classic KJ production. Loved it. I have a stash of 8/4 walnut I bought green and I’m ITCHING to build a table, in two years :(

Really beautiful work, Keith! The table looks incredible! 😃
Well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much! Will do! Be well 🙏
Spectacular as always!! Even if it's a throw back!
Thanks Ted! Retro can be cool! 😂😎
“Who wants all those pesky live edges?” I love that. Personally, the only thing I dislike more than live edge is a river table. 😂
Yep, those suck 😂
what an amazing build. Thanks for sharing. I might steal that plan
Go for it! Thanks Mark! 👍
Fantastic video, amazing table. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! 👍
Lots of great tips in this video/build. Nice
Thanks! Glad it was useful 👍🏻
2018. No wonder how you got walnut that cheap. Even wet wood. Lol. Love the build and the table. Always a pleasure to see your videos
😂 well, 2018 is when I built it. I bought the lumber in 2016! The good old days…you know, back when gas was like $2/gallon. 😂
Ya really. Hilarious. I actually prefer to dry my own lumber to save on cost. It takes a while but I enjoy it
@@scottsevigny697 If you have the room, it's definitely a money saver!
Love the wires coming out from behind the dash trim! Lol. Seriously though, great vid, as always.
-Another Jersey resident!
😂 Those were from my satellite radio, until the antenna got ripped off and it was useless after that. Ahhhh, the good old days. Thanks Joseph!!
Absolutely beautiful like always. Your videos are never disappointing. Great job.
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate the kind words, Matthew. 👊
Beautiful table
Thanks a lot! 👍🏻
That is one GORGEOUS table! Great content, and good tips in there, too!
Thanks man! I greatly appreciate it. Glad it was helpful, too 👍🏻😎
I enjoy building this style table myself it keeps your room for error to a minimum
Thanks a lot! Very true!
Gorgeous table!
Thanks Jeffrey! 👊🏻
Dammint, you were always good! Love it!!
haha. Thank you so much, Joe!!
Fantastic job Keith love the video Stuart from the 🇬🇧
Cheers mate!! I really appreciate it 🙏🍻
I love your table! Great craftsmanship!
Thanks man! I greatly appreciate it! 👍🏻
Thanks for the video
I'm on vacation in Maui, and combined with a few Starbucks K cups it almost made me feel normal....
😂 Glad I could help soften the misery of a vacation in Maui.

Beautiful Table
Thanks a lot, Jim! 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. Excellent build.
Thanks very much, Mike! I appreciate the support 👍
Great handle on the order of operations!
Thanks Thom!
Wonderfull work!
Thanks!
That turned out awesome!!! Love your work and glad your submitting videos again!! I’ll keep on sponsoring your podcast I guess!! :-)
😂 Thanks man! And the podcast support is greatly appreciated! 👊🏻
OMG! Now, that’s a beauty for sure!
I kinda wanna eat it.. 😅

Gorgeous.
Thanks very much!
Great job.. 👍
Thanks Rey!
Rook on sir That table is beautiful!
Thank you kindly! Much appreciated, Jeff 👍
Great video and build.
Thanks man! I appreciate it 👍
Got a great tip from Drew At Fischer woodworks. Put I little salt on the glue between the boards, it stops the sliding around.
Nah. Doesn't work.
You're a legend.
Too kind! Thanks man 👊
Very nice. Even though it was years ago, cannot say that I’m not envious of you getting that walnut for that price. I think I’m at 16+ a bf for walnut.
Yeah, I definitely got a great deal and luckily had the space and the time to store it and let it dry. It was a long time to wait! 😂
Right before getting in bed and watching this video, I did a glue up. At 4:00, you reminded me I didn't check for square. I went and checked wearing nothing but my underwear.
😂😆 Hopefully it wasn't too late to make any adjustments, if necessary 😬
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking It was what I consider ''square enough''
beautiful table I hope 1one day I can do something that good
Thanks a lot, John! 👍
nice build. thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Love your work!
Thanks man! I appreciate it 👍🏻
But that mirror shine on the dado stack, though....oooooh weee
😂🤣😎
realy nice good job from Drumondville Q C
Thank you, Andre!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing the build with us. Perhaps you'll consider chamfering the edges of the tabletop and framing, as they tend to need it.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I’m not much of a chamfer guy in that situation.
Wow wow wow
Thank you, Alfred!! 👍
Love it! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! 👍
Well Mr.Smarty Pants I suppose you think you’re pretty clever?
That’s good… because you are! Very very impressive and subbed! 😉👍
Wow, thanks a lot David!! 🙏🙌
Awesome.👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I respect you. Long game.
Thanks! 🙌🏻
If it didn't take 2 years, it's not a Keith Johnson piece.
There's 103% truth to that statement. 😂
I love your videos
Thanks very much!!
Hey, I like your videos you're pretty clever too. Seeing some things that you do that. I don't see anywhere else on TH-cam..
Thank you
Thanks man! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Cheers!
This guy is hilarious.
Thank you!! 😃
if you sprinkle salt in the glue, it will keep it from sliding around during glue up, the salt wont make any gaps, it melts and crushes
No, that doesn’t work. It also gels up the glue.
awesome !!
Thank you!!
Enjoyed that thanks.
You’re welcome. Thank YOU! 🙏🏻
First question that came to my mind was 'does Keith own any other clothes?' :P
😂 Valid question, but no. 😜
Thank you. I am inspired. God bless from the Netherlands.
Ps; your hammerfist is a palmstrike ;-)
🙏🏻✊🏻
To stop boards from sliding when glued, sprinkle some sand. Pins provide better alignment however
Never had any luck with sand or salt.
Great work! Off the wall question maybe, do you have a vid or links on how to set up the measurements for the domino with the X leg pieces? Small detail yes but confusing if you’re just learning the domino.
Thanks man! Unfortunately, I don’t have anything more detailed than what’s in this video
nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Yes yes… very little latitude but I’m quite certain you’ve earned it… if you can handle that truth!!! LMFAO!!!
😜😆 Thanks man!

@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking thank you! I've always wondered what sort of mitigation there could be.
WOW!!!
Thanks so much!
Nice video as always.
Does not salt work to stop sliding? I saw this tip and it seams easy and does not leave any dowels to keep track of.
Thanks! Salt has never worked for me. And it can inhibit glue from drying if too much is used.
3 videos in 3 weeks??? You treat us too well sir
😂 I'm way off schedule, aren't I?! 😜
Bravo 👍👍!
Thank you, Tony!
Love the dowel trick! Where did you get that diesel 4Runner😂
Haha. Thanks! #dieselpower
Great work, Keith! What kind of angle plate and setup blocks do you use / recommend?
Thanks man! Those are Woodpeckers Tools. I use the setup blocks every day - probably my most used layout tools.
You only mentioned it like 10 times, but I still thought to myself that you looked very young somehow halfway through.
😂 I was just a young whippersnapper back then 😜
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking Also goes to show that your video skills were already on par back then.
@@johannes.f.r. Much appreciated! Thanks Johannes!
Amazing i admire the craftsmanship. To my taste it's a bit blocky but beautiful nonetheless.
Thanks!

I have a pricing video planned out for the beginning of 2024, so stay tuned!
It's weird seeing the same space look so different as time goes by. Any future shop plans? I've got a garage shop that I constantly rearrange.
That was my old shop when I lived in CT. But my current shop is in need of some reorganization as well 😂

Hey James! Not quite sure how a base like this could wobble unless on an uneven floor or the base is made too small for the top.
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking that was my guess, but thanks for confirming! 👍
@@JamesWilliams-en3os You're welcome!
No one else talking about the "diesel" 4runner?
A few people caught it 😂
fuck that is a mighty table base!
😂 Strong like bull!! 💪💪
Try the salt trick instead of the dowel trick for clamping work piece’s
Never had luck with that method, unfortunately.
Like....straight up legitimate question....
How do you price your work?
It varies. Sometimes it’s best to ask the client their budget and work backwards from there, so you don’t waste your time pricing something they can’t afford.
Super nice work. I like the table alignment jig idea.
What size threaded inserts did you use for the hold downs? Where did you get them?
Thanks! Either 1/4-20 or 5/16-18. They can be found on Amazon
Thanks. I just got the 5/16 ones with your link. Also wanted to ask you how are the coatings doing on your tables? What’s the most durable one you’ve used so far without issues from your customers? I like the Osmo but I am concerned it’s not durable enough.

@@MixingGBP Underneath as well. Gotta keep it balanced.
Wow that's the first 4 runner I've seen that sounded just like a diesel. U should do a video on that motor swap!! Jk
