I know this was 4 months ago but I just watched this whole series of videos in a row while sitting inside on a crummy weather day. I have to say I was mesmerized by that table. Absolute beautiful job! I'm just a beginner/hobbyist woodworker and I can only dream of making something like this. Bravo John 👏 👏 Have been really enjoying making my way through your older content. Keep up the amazing work! You've got yourself a big fan over here in Wisconsin in the U.S.
Thanks very much Chris. Hope all is well in Wisconsin.
John, your very first resin pour table is a thing of beauty to behold. I have seen expert resin pour experts loose All their resin to the floor. Very well done, keep up the great videos. By the way I laughed at your mitre saw escapade, then did the same bloody thing two days later. Hey ho. Stay safe.
Thanks very much, that mitre saw mistake is a right of passage 🤣
Hi John, you look really chuffed and proud of your first piece of proper furniture and so you should be. Stunning work! Congratulations. Best regards Jim.
I am, thanks Jim.
Amazing job.
As a Inter-Provincial journeyman electrician here in Canada I probably installed thousands of feet of unistrut in the last 25 years. But I would have never considered using it for that application. That's thinking outside of the box.
Outstanding work on the copper table build. Nice blend of colors, I like the way you took us through the whole build. Awesome 👌
Glad you liked it
Beautiful result! Regarding clamping the beveled legs, I've seen people lay the pieces out flat with 3 sections of blue tape, apply glue, fold them up, and apply the fourth section of blue tape. Apparently you can get it tight enough for the glue to hold. Haven't tried it myself.
The Uni Struts is brilliant, just satisfied an issue I was having. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this build and WOW this table is spectacularly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely stunning John 👍, great work.
Thanks Barry
Learned something new. And will definitely still make this mitre saw misteak.
well done! very informative and inspiring video! thank you! 👏👏👏
John, with the threaded inserts, just put a nut on a hex head bolt. Then thread the bolt into the insert until it meets the nut. Then you can drive it in with a socket or a socket adapter on your drill. When cutting mitres, mark out your cuts. You should always ideally do this anyway. Then when you present the piece to the mitre saw, the discrepancy will show up immediately. It means you don't even have to think about angles. Also if you can, clean up the joint before you glue it. Get rid of saw burn marks especially. Mitre saws are not overly accurate tools, good mitre joints are best achieved by sneaking up on them with a plane after initial cit on mitre saw.
Thanks Kieran
You can get a biscuits joint cutter for your router,
Lessons learned from mistakes we make, are the best Lessons learned
I did not know this, thanks.
@@bluewren65 its a disc cutter blade and 3 different size bearings to corresponding to the biscuit you need
@@garrypalmer5014 Brilliant, I'll look into it.
What a beautiful table. Love it!
Glad you like it!
Great video john it looks fantastic now it finished 👍
Thanks 👍
Everyday is a school day John...to be fair l would have done the same l reckon. Beautiful table!
Always learning lol
Consider me inspired! Thank you!
Nice work and great job makeing the video.
Thank you
Fantastic table fella also like it when things don't go to plan ie mitre saw but there still in the video.
Thanks Mark
The best way to install threaded inserts that are slotted is to drive them with a hex bolt that has a couple of nuts jammed on at an appropriate length from the end. You screw the insert onto the bolt and it stops at the jam nut. Then you can use a socket wrench to screw it into its hole. Once in the bolt simply unscrews from the insert.
I will be trying that on the next one.
Beautiful for sure
And those inserts are meant to go into the wood with the slot first, it is not intended to be screwed in with a screwdriver
As another person suggested use a bolt and nut to drive it into the wood
Thnaks for the tip.
Ya it is very misleading and seems obvious that you should use a screwdriver but you don’t I recently learned that the hard way 😂. Well in checking further I see that there is a special tool by the mfg to use the slot but I don’t have one and using a bolt and nut worked fine a screwdriver unless it is thick enough doesn’t work well
good job men
Nice looking table for a novice? You could have used your router to put a mortise in the miter’s and then put a loose tenon inside also you can use a bolt with a nut for your inserts. Again have to say well impressed with your work 👍
Thanks for the info kevin
That was awesome John you missed your calling
Cheers Murray, glad you liked it
Love how gorgeous this table turned out. Absolutely beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching, and learning from your mistakes with you! Thanks for the quality content, very well explained, and I learned a few things. You make an excellent teacher, you have a new fan!! Keep up the great work!
You are welcome!
lol, looks like I’m a year late for the class. Very good Sir👍🏻
Welcome!
John it sounds amazing. And love what you did to Heidi to use to hold it all together. That is one of the favourite things I’ve got in my garage metres and metres of it are use it all the time for racking and holding tools..Looking forward to next project
Hope your wife liked it
Thanks for listening
Wow ! That turned out incredible John, really impressive. Very well done. And that mitre saw angle issue was news to me too ! Thanks for sharing that problem.
Well done John that looks absolutely stunning. I love the way you’re so open with your mistakes, it’s the best way to learn after all!
It is indeed.
Hi John that was one project I really enjoyed watching, thank you so much for a perfect presentation..... one of the best videos if not the best on TH-cam
Thanks Aaron glad you enjoyed it
Thank you John! I would’ve made the same mistake with the miter saw. I don’t know I would have found the answer so quickly. Beautiful table, awesome build. Thank you for doing this series. I’ve learned a lot. Your video quality is very good and the audio sounds great.
Thanks Sandy!
I used strut for the “T” slots in my drill press table, work great
Works great.
Great looking table - that shine is incredible!
Thanks
Excellent result. That's one hell of a beautiful table..
Thank you kindly
Love the unibond idea John, very neat and tidy. With those inserts, if you cut down a hex-head bolt so it's shorter than the insert and thread it into the insert, you should be able to drive the insert in almost all the way with the hex head and then unscrew it back out and only stress the slot for that last quarter-turn. It's a faff though, so you're right - stick with the allen key ones if you can. I found they were way easier to use. I never did find an Irish supplier though, I resorted to ebay.
And the final result with that table is just beautiful.One of these days when I have more room in the shed I want to build one of those.
Fantastic job John, credit to you well done
thanks!
wow that is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful work, John - and inspired use of the unistrut.
Cheers Eddy
Fantastic job John. Table looks awesome. Bet you cant wait to have a go at a full size dining table. Keep up the good work. Inspirational as always.
Hoping to build one soon and this series has been really helpful 👍
Glad to hear it!
Congratulations John. Great series and an amazing looking table. Looking forward to the next project.
Thank you very much!
You can use the router plunge capability to insert dowels. Works just like a domino. Two dowel set 10mil space between and Bob’s your uncle. Do as many sets as you need. It’s a bit more work, but FAR more affordable.
Quality job , and hello from a fellow woodworking electrician here in the uk .
Thanks and hello to you too.
Brilliant job John can't wait for the next video
Zeb-zebedee!! Great job John, it looks amazing. Never would have thought to use strut looked this. Thanks for all the great vids.
I was going to call the spring nuts Zebedees but I wasn't sure if any one would understand lol.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed whats the story behind that.
That is one Super Cool 😎 Coffee Table John, well done 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
You should be very proud of that John really good job great 👍
Thank you
Love the table. I would suggest for one of your projects you make a MFT style worktop for your bench
that you can be removed . I was amazed how useful it is with a track saw for cutting everything from 4x8 sheets to cabinets parts to be batched out
It is something I have thought about
Absolutely gorgeous piece of work John. 👍 stunning epoxy effect.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fabulous job John. The table is beautiful....
Awesome job. Really loved following this project, top,top job!
Glad you enjoyed it
I had this same confusion about a week ago. When the saw is set to 0 it is cutting a 90 degree angle
Brilliant job! Looks stunning!👏👏👏👏🇿🇦
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely brilliant John. Loved watching your Journey with the table and delighted it worked out well.uni strut was a great idea and has given me a few ideas. Will be raiding my Dads garage for some in the not to future distance.👍 ps always making the same mistake with the mitre saw. Remark the saw is a great way of not forgetting.
Thanks Nigel glad you enjoyed it.
Absolutely fatastic! A lot of time and effort but worth all of it. Thanks for sharing. A unique coffee table to be proud of.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very impressive piece of work. Stunning actually. I love your well explained videos. Put me in the notion to maybe try the resin until I priced it. Keep up the good work
Beautiful work John and thank you for showing mistakes from which we all learn (I would have made the same mistake!!). I guess it’s hand cut compound dovetail joints on the legs next time? 😁
I think some joinery is called for on the next one.
Fiar play John that is some table. 👏
Top work john if the sparking drys up looks like you've got a sound backup.
Wonderful results John looks stunning. Nice
outside the box thinking on the unistrut mounting into the legs I forgot about the wood having a bit of rot in it when I suggested the c channel routed into the table. But the idea you came up with is brilliant and innovative.
Stunning ..
Thank you! Cheers!
The EZ Lock insert tool works great without tearing out the flange slots. Screwdrivers can be a disaster. The Allen-key inserts are better, though.
Pretty fantastic work, John! It's looking fantastic! 😃
About the miter saw, I guess the measurement is for the wood coming from the other side. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks 👍
Hi John, great to see this series, would love to have a go myself. It looks amazing. How’s the table 2 years on?
Looks even better now Elliot, its aging nicely
Love it John, amazing finish !! followed all the way through.... that finish look is unreal. Love the idea with unistrut to fix the legs..... looking forward to the next project, mitre saw tips and hints maybe ??? 😬 never knew that angle thing either 🤯
Thanks Martin
Hey John. What kind of router bit to cut the channels in the legs
10mm straight cut bit
Could you use the bolts to help get the inserts in? Just thinking the Phillips head bolt would be easier to turn.
you can get ones that you insert with an allen key they are way better. You could use he bolt so long a the threads are the same length as the insert.
Beautiful, well built 👍. One of the things that i love in your channel is that you are sharing us with all the process...we learn from our " mistakes" when i saw you cutting the angles i was 😱 because it happened to me ( lesson learned). A good explained videos you can find in: "see jane drill" , on TH-cam. Have a 🍻 you earned it!
How about wooden dowels instead of screws?
Looks amazing well done, did you get a buffer?
I have a buffer, didn't get a polisher if that's what you mean
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed oh ok I didn't think there was much of a difference
Beautiful piece of work John, and explained so well. Thanks
Thanks Graham
A beautiful piece John, so well done!!!
