My Brass Hammer: paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-brass-hammer/ Handheld Morticer Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project-plans/ This was a project I've been meaning to get to for a good few years but I couldn't come up with a design I was happy with. I'm super pleased with the outcome but more importantly the family love it too! Now I need to design some chairs. :)

Shop pythons prevent shop rats. Possibly shop dogs and cats too but I’d imagine most people “down under” know not to leave pets unattended since snakes are only one of the scary things you can have in a shop, shed or house.

I’m not sure what’s more impressive, your woodworking skills, your design taste, or your tolerance for redundancy

I love how you just ignore the snake in your shop. Just awesome.

Tell us you’re an Aussie without telling us you’re an Aussie: “I tried to remove them without bothering the python too much” 😳

The black epoxy was definitely the right choice, and that finish looks awesome. I appreciate leaving in the mistakes, like the one with exposing the loose tenons after cutting on the band saw. I've done something like that myself a couple of times and beat myself up about it for nothing as it couldn't be seen in the finished work in the end. Wonderful work as always 👍

After watching several of your videos and feeling inspired, I have built a long drawer for my truck bed, bought your mortiser plans and built it, built a chicken coop for our backyard, even though we still don't have any chickens since no one wants to tend to them, and now I feel challenged to try and build a dining table based on this brilliant design. Also, my wife has questioned my abilities, "If you don't think you have the talent or you don't want to learn, that's fine. I don't need a beautiful dining table!" I keep making things difficult for myself by watching your videos, but I really love the pain they cause me.

That table is gorgeous, I love the look and feel of spotted gum, but it is dense and heavy. I made a cabinet out of spotted gum and used the same approach of gluing thin pieces to a plywood backing for the door in a herringbone pattern.

*Well done* Neil-it's beautiful. Btw, did Cath tell you; one of your local restaurants called after watching this video. They said: "We fell in love with the table and wondered; could we order 25 just like it for our formal dining room grand opening *in 2 weeks?"* They also wanted to know if they could get 2 additional tables that were approximately: 30cm wider x 90cm longer. 😁 Lets see-if you don't sleep, eat, or talk it may be possible! 😂 Great job as always Neil-and enjoy your new table Cath.

The end result looked so amazing that I almost forgot about the python!

still watching, but I just wanted to say thank you for not playing up the python as dangerous or as a draw for your video. It's just a snake who found a good hiding spot and it isn't venomous or dangerous to you so thanks for not turning it into something it's not. As always, love watching your work and that pattern is memorizing! Always love geometric patterns and I enjoyed watching you build it.

The black epoxy really did make the table look extra special. Excellent job.

That is a fabulous project. Very impressive.

Absolutely beautiful table, the black really helped it stand out. Even better when you put the finish on. Glad your wife loves it too 👍 P.S. that was the most Australian thing....spots a python and didn't even worry about it. Yeah, man, it's just a python, we got way scarier snakes here in Australia! 😂

Thanks, Neil!!!! We needed that. Happy Mothers' Day to your wife!!!

Fantastic outcome! The finish really popped the details in your piece. Thanks.

I appreciate that you include the "fails" and mistakes with work-arounds in your videos. A saying I have escribed to for years is: "The test of a good carpenter is not whether they make mistakes but rather, can they fix the ones they will make." The black makes the top "pop". Beautiful piece of work.

You are truly a gifted person and do EXCEPTIONAL work. God bless you, my friend.

Excellent project! As a beginner hobbyist woodworker, creative projects like this one are very inspiring!

Using the metal bar to get the curve just right for the outside of the table is pure genius! I love the simple and highly effective ways Mr. Pask uses to align all the pieces before cutting!

Just awesome.! Love the pattern you came up with - and the black epoxy makes it so striking! Another gorgeous piece from your brain to reality. 😃🌟

Oh my... Your work is so fabulous an inspiring to me! Thank you so much!!! Especially with resources that (almost) every craftsman has in his workshop.
