My mom recently requested I build her a sofa table since everything she found was either too big or too small. Her size requires were 30" High, 14" Deep, and 46" Wide. As long as I hit those dimensions she didn't care what the table looked like. I took this as a fun opportunity to design on the fly, experimenting with some 'new to me' ideas and tapping into my creative side. Like any project that ventures into weird art, I fully expect some folks to not like it. Heck, I'm not even sure I totally like it. But it did allow me to explore some new ideas and test the limits of this construction method, which could be inherently problematic. Who knows, maybe I'll start a new line of "exploded" furniture! Or not. But hey, it was a blast to build!
I'd like to thank all of the folks on Instagram who contributed ideas during this build process. I'd also like to thank the folks who mentioned that the piece looked like an exploded diagram, as that helped me establish the overall theme for the project. Because of the design on the fly nature of this project, there is no plan.

Love it! Super cool design, Marc. Really dig it, and that finish looks choice!
"Some people love this, some people hate it -- which means it's perfect!"
I really liked to see you out of your comfort zone with this project. Outstanding craftsmanship as always. Looks great!
I love your work mate and your video style. You can make classic/modern furniture that doesn’t look like grandma furniture, your take on design is probably my favourite and where I take a great deal of my inspiration from.
Its funky & unique, and I love it! I always learn so much when watching your videos. Thanks!
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!
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! ;)
Great build Marc!! Thank you for sharing and encouraging us to be more creative and just run with it some times.
Welcome back! Great to see you posting some content again. :P
Such a cool idea, Marc. And love the long form video!
Beautiful table Marc. I love the finish the design everything. Beautiful experiment gone perfect.
Beautiful table. I love the combination of materials you used. When describing what you’re gonna do for somebody, be it for your mother or a client, they will never understand until they see the finished product.
Love the unique design! Really appreciated the careful way you went through each step and explained them. And thanks for the dog break. Cool!
i started to watch your videos years ago, I always had to catch my self saying in my head 'that's not how I was taught to do it' but I always love the end result. Now after years into my woodworking career I still have the same thoughts, but now also think 'lets see how this plays out' thank you, I've learned a lot more thinking this way.
The furniture construction changes with the need of persons. I like it.
Very cool project! Creative piece and looks amazing. Keep up the awesome work Mark!
Great looking table, that design is awesome. An inspiration for sure.
Amazing Marc. Love the metal dowels. You’ve come a long way baby.
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!
Beautiful piece of furniture. Awesome design and craftsmanship. Great work as always Mark.
Beautiful piece. Enjoyed watching this.
I learned a TON of information on this build. Thank you for sharing.
Really like it. Didn't think i would but the small details you include really tie it together.
Glad you didn't quit and are still making videos! I hope you sense the humor in this!
Love the legs - they remind me of Olympic torches, the Sydney 2000 ones in particular.

Great built. Awesome project. Thx for sharing
Amazing work Spag's as always!
Looks awesome Marc 👏. I love the design.
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.
Wow... every time I watch any clip of yours, I learn something new... thank u all your efforts and uploading for others...
As usual a fantastic and perfect project, thanks for sharing your work Marc
Beautiful table. Your mom must love to show off your talent.
Its so good to see you making things and thinking out side the box, thank you!
Elegance in design and execution... bravo!
Always an inspiration, love the way it came out
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.
Well, didn't think woodworking could be over my head, but most of this project was. excellent outcome!
That finish is grouse! Great looking project.
Thank you for sharing your design. It's so nice to see a Craftsman trying something new. It looks great
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 !
I love it. Think it turned out beautiful the leg profiles make it. Also nice to see a nice simple jig thrown together in real time and used effectively. So many times you see jigs where it must have taken an entire morning to make...I want to make furniture not jigs, as sweet as they are. Amazing as usual
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.
Amazing work. Beautiful concept and very well executed. Congratulations!
The more I watch, the more amazed I become!! Awesome build!
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
Marc, I’ve gotta hand it to ya. That is a seriously sharp and classy piece. Nice work.
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.
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.
Nicely done, Marc. It is an .... interesting .... design! I like the finish quite a bit. I guess I need to try that stuff.
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.
Those long dovetails turned out amazing! Beautiful project!
Awesome build man. Enjoyed it!
Super job Marc. I know your mom will love it.
You sir ARE a designer. Beautiful proportions. Congrats
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
Beautiful, unique piece Marc.
Love the design, I have a live edge mesquite slab that would look great on a base made this way. Thanks for the inspiration
Cool design on the fly, looks beautiful Mom will love it.
Now that's craftsmanship. Very nice.
Awesome video and table. I love the different techniques you experimented with the legs being my favorite they came out so different yet elegant lines and the steel pins and how and why you used them very nice. Not that you really noticed but it seemed as you were much more relaxed or because it was for fun you had a great energy just coming back with working with Darrell Peart. This was an awesome idea and came out so sweet!! Oh ya gotta love the doggy break lol that Dougie is a big ham on camera.
love the 5 minute jig... really goes to show that for accurate work it helps going that extra mile
I can’t get a thing done because I can’t stop watching your videos!!! Geez. Love it!
Love it! Super cool design Good Job and yes you still got it
Splendid. It reminds me my table. Love the legs too.
I have to admit, I didn’t get it while you posted to Instagram. After watching the build video, and listening to your thought process, I not only get it but love the piece. Nicely done Marc
Nice to see you posting content again ;) In all seriousness, that's a pretty great looking table. Inspiration for the day I get my skills past the "plywood and shop furniture" level.

Plywood is a wonder material and can be used in high end furniture.
Great video Marc!! The table is awesome!!!
Well done! You did a superb job of guiding us through the creative process, including mistakes. And I appreciate the "how long it took" comments (I usually wish I knew that on projects I see on You Tube).
Beautiful table. Nicely done!
Love it!.... great concept, great design, great execution.
Beautiful. Love that finish
Looks awesome !! Can't wait to try that out .
It is every time a really huge inspiration and motivation watching your videos. A Big thanks therefor Greatings from Germany
When I made my exploded view bench I had to use "L" brackets to add extra support for the connection between the legs and bench top. Afterwards I thought about welding up some "L" shaped dowels to go in the corners instead of using two individual dowels. Nice build I think the look will grow on you.
I think it turned out amazing! Way to think outside the box.
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 .
Pajama boss...nice. great project, really love seeing some insight into your creative process. Really enjoyed following along on IG as well.
This is very nice piece of furniture! Good job man!👍🏻
Love this project..would display that in my house any day!
I truly like it. Brilliant craftsmanship.
That router table set up is goals.
First video I've watched of yours. Really impressed and enjoy the narration. Very cool, creative table!
Not normally something I'd be into, but it's definitely beautiful. Can't wait to see that Triton dual doweler in action!
I love the on the fly creativity and its very unique
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!
awesome on the fly piece Marc
Beautiful. ....this is not a behind the sofa table...this is a piece of art
I absolutely love this table! Very timely cos I was thinking about using pins like this for a small wine rack 😊
Loved it, this is the only way I know to build, I enjoy the challenge
Love the design and attention to detail Marc! I also use the old "sit and stare" method when I'm not sure exactly which direction I want to go. 😶
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.
Love it! Risky but I think it paid off. It's a beautiful piece.
Absolutely love it. Great job
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.
I really enjoyed the build and finish product. Well done.
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.
