The Client Hated This Slab

Wow... what's to hate? And by the way- that ancient Egyptian PVC pipe was far superior to that junk we have today.

Honestly, if they wanted ZERO reddish tones than they shouldn’t have gone with Walnut. Table looks incredible!

I can't believe I've just spent 25 minutes watching someone make a table, what's more surprising is how interesting it was, great work and fantastic table.

I lost my lovely mum 4 days ago. I'm a 65 yr old woman who has zero intention of ever building anything however I love your content & you're helping me thru a pretty awful time Thank you

I’m one of those people who just like to zone out while watching your videos, very therapeutic, your voice is not monotone, an added joy. Please don’t be swayed to add background music, it would totally destroy this most valued/treasured experience.

Response to your question about 21 minutes in the video. The safety feature of the saw blade stop works off of a voltage differential between the trigger mechanism and a conductive media like a finger. Styrofoam sheets being cut with a rotary blade would be like rubbing a balloon against a flannel shirt. The Styrofoam creates a static charge greater than the blade safety mechanism can handle. A volt differential tripped the circuit.

I fall into the category of “People who watch every single of your videos with zero intention of ever building a table.” I love your format, your cadence, your candor and of course, your skill is top tier.

Loved the video. One suggestion I would give, is to make your work table with the ability to raise the height to help save your back during some of your processes. You could probably have your friend the welder create the table and you can use a pneumatic system. You can also build a winch system like they use for boats to move those massive, heavy slabs from your truck to your work table. Many years ago my dad and I replaced an engine in my car and he built a very simple winch that was attached to wood beam He set on the two walls on each side of the garage. We were then able to move the motor exactly where we wanted it. I was lucky to grow up with a genius engineer for a dad. He knew how to solve pretty much any engineering task.

Your craftsmanship is uncompromisingly displayed in ever single aspect in the creation of this work of art, and that is why it is PERFECT...especially the configuration of the legs that add a razor sharp looking exclamation point.

As an older-than-70 woodworker, I commend you for your Rock Paper Scissors contest. It warmed my day to see you caring for the next group of woodworkers

If I had the money, the space, and a family or business large enough to justify such a table then I’d buy that in a heartbeat. It’s beautiful.

I believe that working with the wood by your own hands is way more rewarding and is also good for mental health. It’s relaxing (and not) in some ways. Keep up the great personal touch you give your clients. The machine made is what everyone else has and not as good. Love your work, keep it up for all those that want one and the ones who want to learn. ❤❤❤

Absolutely amazing! You sir are definitely not a woodworker! You are an artist! If I had the money the customer had to buy that table, I would definitely buy one from you! But since I will most likely never have that kind of cash, watching you make these dream tables will have to suffice. Excellent work!

I happened across this and enjoyed watching you create a gorgeous table! I'm a 72 yr old grandma and it was very interesting. Well done!

You made this all look a LOT easier than it truly is. My husband is a woodworker and I see what he goes thru. Beautiful table, we'd be honored to be the owners of a piece of artwork like that.

When I’m at work sitting at the desk doing some paperwork or something I always play these videos in the background. Kinda of calming and peaceful. Thank you for your content!

Absolutely stunning piece of work. I’ve been bingeing your videos the last couple days while I cook and do chores. Thanks for the great content for us creatives out here with very few outlets available!

First time I have watched your show. My father was a carpenter but back in the day girls couldn’t even take shop classes. The boys were going to sites and actually learning to build houses. It really frustrated me. Watching this really made me want to embrace my inner woodworker. So I am!!!! I really enjoyed it!

Safety tip (yay): When loading a long crate onto the back of a truck, get as close as possible before raising the forks. That way, if it does start to tip, the truck will take some of the weight and help get the balance back. I used to do this all the time with 1.5 tons of aluminium ingots. Nice work as always BTW

I watch programs like yours and refinishing programs, because I do not have the physical capability do it myself. I enjoy the artistry, the artwork and the challenge of it. When I was working I taught, and now I write. Thank you for a wonderful video.
