Great video, man! Get well soon. Some folks here don't get how this is a $1300 piece of work, but it is. Most people don't realize the time involved that you invested to make the joints vanish, the insane cost of wood now, and the quality finish. I've researched woodworking businesses, and the one thing most start doing wrong is underestimating the value of their work, especially when it comes to time spent creating it - your hourly wage, in essence. Also, people will pay that for custom furniture because it's unique and not some Ikea crap. Keep on doing what you do.

Very nice, definitely worth the asking price. People need to understand and appreciate the value of handcrafted items… we are putting sweat time efforts and lot more in them..

Beautiful build! Thank you for sharing your talent.

I really love that accenting inlay. Excellent work as usual! Get well soon, my friend.

I cannot believe you allowed the piece with that huge knot to be used. The rest of the work looks good to me. Even without the knot I don't think I can see $1300 though.

@Glen Crandall I would have preferred it not be there, but I also didn't want to cut into a whole new stick just for another four-inch piece. I don't mind the knot because I know it will almost never be seen, and those who do end up seeing it won't mind it. One, I placed it closer to the tabletop, so that the average person walking by the table won't even see it because the top keeps it out of sight. And two, the knot side of the table, which happens to be where the small blemish is in the inlay, will always go against a wall or facing away from traffic, so again, it will never be seen.

@@InspireWoodcraft I appreciate your logic. And if you ask most folks you might be right. But I am afraid I wouldn't be happy with the knot there. Personal preference.🙂🙂

Superb filming (angles, camera positioning, focus) and tight, effective editing.. Similar to the design and execution of the project itself, these are skills that many will under-appreciate. Well done.

This exact table is all over the internet for all different prices, up to $1300. It’s crazy how much people will spend on high end furniture.

The table looks great. I loved the inlays. The video style was well done also. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellence in action. Great work. Thank you

Nice video and build. I don’t think it’s worth $1300 but I’m happy for you if you can get that kind of money for a project like that.

The ending with the book. An excellent and subtle note. Mwah.

Nice design. As always you are inspiring😁.

Brilliant job

Lovely build! Get better soon!

Very nice, great job

Beautiful!!

That’s a nice table. Inlays are really nice. It’d be cool if the inlays were copper or like a blue epoxy or something like that but it’s still really nice.

Very nice.

First of all, I hope you feel better soon. But also how do you not get the swirl marks using the orbital sander?

@InspireWoodcraft

Жыл бұрын

Darren Jarvis Thank you. I avoid them (mostly) by slowing down how fast I'm moving the sander across the surface, by turning down the suction on the dust extractor as low as it will go (I realize this doesn't apply to everyone), and by making sure my disk doesn't have any blemishes in it, like small tears and the like. I try to not push down on the sander and just sort of rest my hand on it, that way I'm not digging into the wood too.

Excellent work as always. The white washing stain (from the looks of it) subdues the inlays, which is a different kind of look. Not sure it's a $1300 table in my world - and that is not a knock on your work at all. Something is worth what people will pay. And God bless you if you have built a clientele that will pay you that kind of money. Edit: And as someone who thinks most Makers don't charge enough, I welcome someone charging top dollar.

@Joshua Skoch Rubio Monocoat Cotton White.

I have to wonder about expansion and contraction of the wood with changes in humidity. Seems to me that when the top expands it's going to bust up the circular inlay band in several locations. When the legs with grain parallel to the grain of the top expand, something's gotta give. Maybe the tenons will snap?c

@InspireWoodcraft

Жыл бұрын

@Jim Shipsky I’m not sure about the inlay. I’ve seen other pieces with similar inlays that have had no issues over the years, but I guess only time will tell. As for the top-to-base connection, the wide leg and the top are orientated and glued together in a way to let them expand/contract at the same rate. The narrow legs are only glued towards the center, with an unglued floating tenon on the ends that has a mortise wider than the tenon, to allow them to move in and out as they wish. The pocket on the underside of the top, that the base sits in, is routed a quarter-inch longer where those two short legs are to give them room to expand/contract. Between the pocket and the wide mortise, it will be able to move as necessary but also help keep the legs from twisting out of square. Hopefully that made sense. I will explain that in the next video as well.

Always hard to compare from a country from another, from a side of the ocean to another :) Always seems like things are expensive in US from France, and this piece is no exeption, would not worth that price here but if you can charge 1300 for that, why not !

@robert east It was part practice with the Domino, and part not being totally sure how many/what size to use. The material is 1-5/8 thick. Using traditional joinery rules of the tenon being a third the thickness of the part, I used two 8mm dominoes. If I had to make it again, I don't know that I would even use Dominoes. I think I would just house them in a half-inch groove and call it a day.

Jodee, amazing video as usual, but I'll offer a bit of constructive criticism, of course my own opinion: like I said, the video itself is amazing; well shot and edited. I know it's probably just me, or at the very least I'm in the minority, but I find it extremely tacky/cringe when I see a woodworking video with a "price" in the title. I've seen a lot of the more popular woodworkers do this and i just think it's a terrible trend.
