I'm not a native English speaker, and not a woodworker by any extent, but there I am, watching video after video of different woodworking designs, googling every other word and still understanding only a fracture of what is said, but dang it's so satisfying to watch. Walnut is so beautiful. These legs are so modern-y and pretty. My favourite part is when you round/smooth the legs with scraper.
@@bighands69 haha thanks! But it doesn't mean I can understand what planer or a chisel is without googling... It also doesn't help that some of those words are not self-explanatory in my native language either, like 'planer' translates roughly to 'reissmuss machine' (with German origin) so it really doesn't help, taking into account I've never seen those machines in real life. Nonetheless, videos are very good!
Nice build and surprisingly similar to a few I've done for past clients. One thing I always do on sofa tables (because my clients prefer it) is a lower shelf as it adds additional display surface area to the piece and stabilizes the lower end of the legs to prevent racking. I do 45-degree dadoes on the inside of the legs to match the corresponding 45's on the shelf corners and folks can't figure out how the shelf fits. Kreg screw from the bottom and glue the joints. Rock solid.
On this “explosive” new episode of The Wood Whisperer... Looks great, Marc. Really liking the design and your solutions to some of the unique challenges on this one!
Your mom just wanted a simple table for behind the couch and so you build the fanciest simple table you can, love it. Very cool concept, keep up the good work
Very cool. Wish it was sitting on a rug on top of a piece of plywood on top of a lazy susan with the camera back at an angle so you could turn it and show all the angles. Top notch work!
Love it. Beautiful piece of fine furniture. The way you floated the top and how you you put the top together makes it stand out from your typical glued up top. I think it adds character to the piece. I love that finish as well. I think it brings out the beauty of the Walnut without detracting from it like a gloss can sometimes do.
As a graphic designer, this looks great and balanced with the pins. As a DIY, i’m definitely inspired to try this myself. Glad i stumbled onto yr channel.
Very nice. I enjoy concept to end product on the fly. I work that way quite a lot. It leaves more room for creativity and, as you said, room to bob and weave.
Brother! Thank you for that video. I did learn some new things as I have only been woodworking for about 2 years now. I really like the way you do your videos as you didn't waste time yet explained each step so that we can understand and learn. Love the table.
Great job. Thanks for the lesson and work on the videos. I also enjoyed one of your mentors David Marks. You can see a lot of him in the work you do and how you teach. Thanks for being you.
Looks awesome , I like everything about this design . I fly by the seat of pants most of the time like this on my projects with the exception of cabinet work .
Thanks for sharing and yes i enjoyed your "On the fly" experimentation. As a newbie I feel I do this more than i likely should as i have yet learned how to use sketchup. Been holding off on it as i have already been stumped trying to follow a books recommendations and falling short of what i should have gotten during an initial exercise in setting it up. Thanks again !
Dude i almost had a heart attack when you said "it will prevent uneven staining" the thought of actually staining that walnut made my skin crawl. I also thought by "exploded" table you were gonna show us some old table that you failed to allow wood movement space for lol.
Amazing table. Even more amazing is how your thumb wasn't a permanent part of your marking gauge at 2:59. I always glue myself to thing when using CA and small pieces.
Oh Marc it's great to see your back posting videos! Lol sorry had to do it. Gotta say it looks really cool and very unique. Nice job sir! Catch you Friday live. If you don't take the day off.
Great "thing" Mark - I just picked up you book and I have really enjoyed it thus far. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge
I love the floating look of the top. My projects usually aren’t as large and refined as this, but I find that I never really build things from plans, I’m always designing and creating on the fly. That reminds me, have you checked out my lamp shade video?
I like it. My only change would be to make the legs taper from the inside to the outside, instead. I might even give the legs a bit of an angle. Either way, cool project!
It looks fabulous ! I love the top ! I think it would look even better with brass rods, instead of steel but that’s a personal preference. Nice seeing you in improv’ mode ;)
Osmo Top Oil can be used for the top coat because it is pretty durable and keeps the surface in a good shape. I used it as the last two layers of a kitchen table and kitchen countertop and it is quite ok. For the layers underneath I used IKEAs Behandla oil - very easy and fast to apply and goes great with Osmo. Great table by the way ;-)!!!
As a furniture maker, i appreciate your effort here. I find that its easy to make an awesome base or awesome top. But it can be hard to make them cohesive. I personally think this base is fantastic but the top doesn't quite gel with it. Idk, maybe you agree. That does happen a lot with first attempts at certain design elements. I deal with it all the time because I almost always design on the fly. Anyways, great job though.
Hi, first off- love the table and your videos. Second- I'm far from being an engineer and newer to wood working, but I do believe that if you were to place one more dowl in the center of the leg connecting it to the top, you would have all the extra support you need to have it as stable as you would need (3points of contact). Although might not be the look you were going for. Just my 2 pennies. Nun the less awesome work!
Especially on the work surfaces such as the table top, might want to try applying Osmo as per instructions. I have found it is more durable if you roll on sparingly using the osmo roller as you're leaving a slightly thicker film that is more resistant to stains over time.
"Some people love this, some people hate it -- which means it's perfect!"
Love the legs - they remind me of Olympic torches, the Sydney 2000 ones in particular.
I love it thanks for sharing! Very inspiring for me!
I remember those Olympics

Beautiful table. Your mom must love to show off your talent.
Its funky & unique, and I love it! I always learn so much when watching your videos. Thanks!
Now that's craftsmanship. Very nice.
I learned a TON of information on this build. Thank you for sharing.
On this “explosive” new episode of The Wood Whisperer...
Looks great, Marc. Really liking the design and your solutions to some of the unique challenges on this one!
Elegance in design and execution... bravo!
Super job Marc. I know your mom will love it.
Beautiful. ....this is not a behind the sofa table...this is a piece of art
Beautiful piece of furniture. Awesome design and craftsmanship. Great work as always Mark.
Those long dovetails turned out amazing! Beautiful project!
Your mom just wanted a simple table for behind the couch and so you build the fanciest simple table you can, love it. Very cool concept, keep up the good work
Looks great Marc, I love the adventurous use of new techniques/metal bits! Good to see you putting out videos again, thanks for not quitting! ;)
Very cool. Wish it was sitting on a rug on top of a piece of plywood on top of a lazy susan with the camera back at an angle so you could turn it and show all the angles. Top notch work!
Glad you didn't quit and are still making videos!
I hope you sense the humor in this!
Thank you for sharing your design. It's so nice to see a Craftsman trying something new. It looks great

I really not like to put anything on top, but it's a astonishing design, something for a art gallery
I love the on the fly creativity and its very unique
Very nice. I enjoy concept to end product on the fly. I work that way quite a lot. It leaves more room for creativity and, as you said, room to bob and weave.
I can’t get a thing done because I can’t stop watching your videos!!! Geez. Love it!
Beautiful. Love that finish
It would appear that you still got it
Matthew Cremona C.
Nice to see you are still getting out in the shop, woodworking, and making a video. I like it. All kidding aside, it looks great.
Cool one....
I'm just a beginner in wood works learning from TH-cam...
Learn alot from you .
Thanks
Waiting for more..
Not normally something I'd be into, but it's definitely beautiful. Can't wait to see that Triton dual doweler in action!
I truly like it. Brilliant craftsmanship.
Such a cool idea, Marc. And love the long form video!
That is a museum-worthy piece, IMO. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the end result. I'm on the fence about exposed steel pins in wooden furniture but it works very well on this piece.
awesome on the fly piece Marc
Really cool design, I like trying to 'engineer' things like you did with the steel dowels. Looks great and I'm sure your Mom will love it.
Nice Table, love the DOG BREAK!
Beautiful table Marc. I love the finish the design everything. Beautiful experiment gone perfect.
I applaud your correct pronunciation of Gyro!
Cool design on the fly, looks beautiful Mom will love it.
Loved it, this is the only way I know to build, I enjoy the challenge
Brother! Thank you for that video. I did learn some new things as I have only been woodworking for about 2 years now. I really like the way you do your videos as you didn't waste time yet explained each step so that we can understand and learn. Love the table.
Great looking table, that design is awesome. An inspiration for sure.
I think it turned out amazing! Way to think outside the box.
Great job. Thanks for the lesson and work on the videos. I also enjoyed one of your mentors David Marks. You can see a lot of him in the work you do and how you teach. Thanks for being you.
That's one of the best compliments I could receive. Thanks man.
You present the process well.
Cool looking table Mark i liked The joinery on it including the metal pins as something a little different
Awesome build man. Enjoyed it!
Looks awesome , I like everything about this design . I fly by the seat of pants most of the time like this on my projects with the exception of cabinet work .
Beautiful design!

Been holding off on it as i have already been stumped trying to follow a books recommendations and falling short of what i should have gotten during an initial exercise in setting it up.

Looks awesome !! Can't wait to try that out .
Fun build and I loved how you incorporated things like the one time taper jig. I vote that the next Patreon level is for monthly "not so free" builds.
Dude i almost had a heart attack when you said "it will prevent uneven staining" the thought of actually staining that walnut made my skin crawl. I also thought by "exploded" table you were gonna show us some old table that you failed to allow wood movement space for lol.
First class, great design.
Amazing table. Even more amazing is how your thumb wasn't a permanent part of your marking gauge at 2:59. I always glue myself to thing when using CA and small pieces.
Love the disconnected design.
Glue ups before bed time are the best.
Marc this was super cool and unique. Thanks for putting the time in to share. And the 7:53 minute mark is when I smashed the like button, lol.
Oh Marc it's great to see your back posting videos! Lol sorry had to do it. Gotta say it looks really cool and very unique. Nice job sir! Catch you Friday live. If you don't take the day off.
Its so good to see you making things and thinking out side the box, thank you!
Love the shape of the legs. Great work Mark!
Awesome job wood man!
Great video Marc!! The table is awesome!!!
Great Idea and outstanding work.
I really enjoyed the build and finish product. Well done.
West System recommends wet sanding steel with epoxy for better bonding. I have done this and the bond is as strong as the wood.
I think it turned out great. It has a very Spagnuolo look
Great "thing" Mark - I just picked up you book and I have really enjoyed it thus far. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge
In Sweden it's common to use hard wax oil on pine flooring. So i don't think it will be a problem on furnitures. As always great project
"I arrived at this number by doing a lot of sitting around, and staring."
So true!
I love the floating look of the top. My projects usually aren’t as large and refined as this, but I find that I never really build things from plans, I’m always designing and creating on the fly. That reminds me, have you checked out my lamp shade video?
Beautiful work!
Very nice piece of furniture. The only problem is that you made this looked to be easy to build :)) Many thanks for sharing!...
I love that base - I'd like to replicate it and float a full live-edge slab on it.
Love the steel pins!
That is a fantastic looking table man. Will be a while before my woodworking skills get to that level.
I love this part of every proyect 14:28
Very interesting and beautiful. Very talented.
First video I've watched of yours. Really impressed and enjoy the narration. Very cool, creative table!
So two years later, how is that finish holding up? Great design and execution. Love the table.
I like it. My only change would be to make the legs taper from the inside to the outside, instead. I might even give the legs a bit of an angle. Either way, cool project!
I think it turned out well. I think the top needs a little something though. Maybe a concave profile on the ends to echo the shape of the legs.
Really nice! Love the idea of the exploded view table!
I love the design
It looks fabulous ! I love the top ! I think it would look even better with brass rods, instead of steel but that’s a personal preference. Nice seeing you in improv’ mode ;)

Class act Marc! Great work!
Love the look ..wouldn't look as good with wooden dowels. Looks beautiful marc!🍻
Amazing work. Beautiful concept and very well executed.
Congratulations!

Super cool build!!!
Looks good man. How about brass dowels if you do it again? The contrast with the wood is super sexy with brass.
Wonderful idea. Love it
Love it!.... great concept, great design, great execution.

I really like the floating table top and the gaps between the table top slats.
I'm not sure I like the pins between the side rails and legs, however.
I love it! Wood & Steel I mostly don't care for. But this is just the right blend.
PS: saw you with the new PM cyclone.
