    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!!!

    They say you cannot tell a book by it's cover. It sure applies to this lumber. Cruddy cover, beautiful figure and color. It took some effort on your part but it was certainly worth it. That table is a keeper. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay healthy.

    Bravo Bill! It looks great!
    I use the same table saw which seems to handle the same old hardwoods in multiple passes quite well. Just a quick tip though when adjusting the blade angle to 45 degrees - don't go past that point as there is a weak point in the cast iron linkage that allows this action in the saw which i snapped. What a pain in the neck! Had to get a spare part from Hare and Forbes in Northmead for about $45 which was the easy part. I then had to completely dismantle the whole saw table to replace it. I took advantage of this however and I cleaned/re greased everything and now it's better than new! Hope this helps you avoid the same mistake.
    Cheers Matt

    AWESOME JOB!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR PROCESS & GIVING EXTRA TIPS ALSO!! I had a waterfall desk in my car's trunk when my car was stolen early in the morning several months ago. I had found the desk at a thriftshop & had planned to keept it in my car's trunk til I was done rearranging my livingroom & putting awaybitems, since I had just moved in. Desk was $10, but had been almost exactly what I was looking for & I was going to paint it. I'm thinking about either building another desk like it, with some help, of course. I love that you're careful with the different types, conditions & ages of the materials you work with & treat them as they need to be, rather than just rushing through & going random directions, etc. with cutting, sanding, etc.!! Thank you, again for you video, process info & tips!! Blessings for everyone, always!! 😁😁😁😁

    That splitter is such a brilliant and elegant solution. I can't believe I've never noticed it before. I haven't been using on because I couldn't figure out how to make it perfectly aligned to the blade but with the screw holes being a bit oversized like in your designed, it should be very easy to do.

    I just discovered your channel this morning and this was the 1st. video that TH-cam had on my recommend list. Great job on the table, I love the finished product. The wood is absolutely beautiful and i'm off to my local Woodcraft store today to pick-up some Hickory to replicate this table. I like how you used the backer board on your miter cuts to stop the splintering and that you decided to use dowels to connect your miters. Keep up the great work and I hope y'all keep building and sharing your videos.

    Really nice! ... one quick point. Try to get out of the habbit of passing your hand/fingers directly over the jointer blade. Some of those shots we're really iffy, especially @1:50. Keeping a few inches either of the blade could save a nasty injury, or at least make for less of an injury.

    I plan to build a waterfall dining table for my patio. Do you strongly recommend using reusable miter clamping blocks? I've seen some woodworkers glue blocks to their pieces over brown paper so there is a fault line, but I feel nervous about gluing anything to my table top.

    • @DownUnderWoodWorks
      @DownUnderWoodWorks  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The reusable clamping blocks are great because “they’re reusable” but also because they’re not glued to the wood. Gluing blocks to the wood is ok if you use CA glue but I wouldn’t use wood glue

      Hey mate, best to purchase it from their website. I have an affiliate code that helps me out a little and costs you nothing. www.dowelmax.com/?aff=3

      @@DownUnderWoodWorks It looks very similar to some timber I reclaimed recently - also from a deck build. I made a table top from it but with the leftovers I made a bath caddy for my daughter. I snapped one piece though and had to visit my timber guy to find a replacement. Spotted Gum was a perfect match.

    How did you get the dowelmax to line up perfectly for the miter joint?

    • @DownUnderWoodWorks
      @DownUnderWoodWorks  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Dowelmax is a very high quality and highly accurate tool. There is also a 45 degree mitre attachment plate available as an extra.

    Beautiful coffee table. I was wondering, as there is no support between the legs, is there any racking at all? The timber looks like it might be a spotted gum. Great video as usual. Cheers. PS, every time I looked at the triangle you drew, it kept reminding me of the Dark Side of the Moon album.

      They're made with a laser cutter. A friend made them for me but not sure if they still do them. if you reach out to any of the YT makers that have a laser local to you, they should be able to make them for you

      Im sure there is a way but i don't know of one that's suitable. Festool and Lamello both have joint systems that can be assembled and disassembled.
