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!

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 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.

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 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.

This looks awesome! Just came across this video today and I loved it! Being able to see the (almost) whole process off the build is very nice. I’m a woodworking beginner and I learn a lot from videos like this. Thanks! I hope your client was happy also. Loved the darker color by the way, makes it chique (for lack of a better word)

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

The county road commission took out a couple of walnuts 3 years ago. I said "No thanks," when they offered to haul the wood away for free and I had a guy with a portable mill come in and slab them for me. The wood has been drying for 3 years and the hygrometer says it's ready to use. This is one of the things I want to do with some of the wood. I've got to go find that step-by-step video of yours. Thanks.

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!

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.

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.

Styrofoam is electrostatic material. If you pull it over your hair it’ll stand it on its ends. So, that little bit of friction created electromagnetic field which caused the sensor to go off on your saw.

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.

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. ❤❤❤

Doing the Hand made bowtie, and fixing every little imperfection " thanks Mrs,Wife" is what gets you the Highend price. Never let go on quality work.

I have no woodworking skills or knowledge, nor do I have any interest in learning about it - but I watched this whole video, totally hooked and enjoyed every minute of it. You're seriously talented at both your craft and making YT videos my man!

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!
