Your table is so beautiful. I have seen some wood workers put fake crystals, turquoise, or other jewels into the cracks with epoxy.

I see a squinting cat with antlers. And the top is absolutely GORGEOUS, wonderful life in the wood!

I can't decide what I love more, your sense of humor or your amazing creations.

I saw a red stag. Your work is really well done. I truly appreciate the fact that you do a voice-over instead of trying to talk and do the work at the same time. Makes for a much better watch. Also, I love the work you do. As someone who just started messing around with wood, it is very inspiring. I have spent over 20 years cutting trees down and never did anything but burn the wood heat. Wish I would have started doing this years ago. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

I discovered your show this morning and 8 hours later I'm still watching!! THANK YOU!!!!!! as a child I spent many happy hours watching my Father and Grandfather create wood projects in their respective workshops. Watching you make beautiful art takes me back and makes me happy.......and a lot more calmer than watching the news😋

What fun! I love that you saved this piece and made such a dramatic change in how it looks....my first visual was a love HEART...gratitude for saving it from the fire? Beautiful work!

I've been slowly working my through old videos and just found this one. My immediate impression was bull/minotaur on the image, and I fell in love with this table. It's too bad I wasn't around for the original build. I feel like I missed out on getting to know this piece a little better just because I was late to the game. Such a gorgeous table. I'm definitely into character pieces. The more character the wood has, the more work it is to make it a functional, durable piece of furniture, but when the wood is already that gorgeous and interesting, the work - and the cost - are so worth it.

Just a tought about what you said at the end : I know you want to pease your viewers as a youtuber, but in my experience, the people who end up delivering and showing what they like best usually fare better that the ones that do what theirs viewers wants. You viewers are probably much less experienced than you in your field (I mean in general, at least I sure am), and your insight and your passion are what drive a project. You channel is brillant already and you made it like so. Keep up with the good work, and continue doing what you like most, and you will find people watching and liking your work. This was my humble opinion. Cheers

David James - you make a perfectly valid and important point ! I would make the additional observation that there is a big difference between a craftsman's approach to building which is completely different from an artist's approach. I think we could make a general comment that craftsmen generally concern themselves with fine detail in their quest for perfection which can be seen as obsessive. Artists on the other hand are unconcerned with detail and perfection and strive only to create something expressive and individual, and are perfectly content to leave a whole slew af what the craftsman would call imperfections. In other words craftsman try to remove " character " while artists try to preserve it. I have found that craftsmen in general view artists as being sloppy and slipshod workers, and take it as an insult if they themselves are ever called artists.

She had even won a contest that sent 2 people to study for a year in Italy. She yas a masters in art but as of now works part-time in a convenience store. Sadly drinking ended her passion for me and painting. It used to bother me that when she seen what i had been doing as anything bust art or even creative which i later realized was her problem. She could copy something and it looked great but to actually come up with ideas of what to paint and to be passionate about it had been lost to her. Im no serious artist but many love the stuff i come up with and whats most important is I do and ive ruined all kinds of stuff from not leaving it alone my daughter has become my go to as to when to stop. I just want anyone that has a passion and they see what others dont to know thats what i call a artist.

Good job as always I feel like character pieces make for more entertaining videos as they sometimes stray from the “normal” process and thing get a little more interesting.

Beautiful, love the top (the sheepdog) the A-symmetrical base and leg is incredible. I would buy the table or wall piece for the 1st in my collection.

Three Toed Sloth- Beautiful piece. Don't love the random shape of the stand but enjoy watching videos about it. I like that you brought would-be track back to life. Thanks!

I thought it looked like my neighbors Afghan dog (that was over 50 years ago). I love to see others with such creative talent. So glad I got to see this video and thank you for sharing your talent with us.

As far as type of projects...more of this please. I'm all about stuff with character. Rustic, unique and flowing lines. Beautiful work, man.

I like all the videos you make. I like the 'unique build type' videos the most because they're different, but all in all I'm just here to passively learn about stuff I don't know how to do or haven't attempted myself.

So far I like the various kinds of videos you have produced. I'm not a woodworker outside of screwing 2x4's together, but I like watching your stuff. The projects, your commentary, the type of humor, etc.

I saw a sloth. I know, old video. One thing that jumped out to me about the circle jig for the band saw was that the weight of your work piece was pulling the unsupported side down and causing that pinch. There are 2 solutions. 1st put a support under the work itself. This is the best and simplest solution. I use a folding table saw outfeed support you can get at a big box store. 2nd is an arm attached to the underside of the sled that slides under the saw table itself. This can still leave some room to move and pinch, but it's a lot better than nothing.

Hello from Newcastle Australia. Turning apiece of potential firewood into something practical and beautiful is an art. Well done.

Small tip from a sheet metal fabricator: when you drill holes in those metal discs, run the drill much faster. For that drill at 17:32 you would want about 1000 rpm. Your cutting force and also the chips will be smaller, so less risk of the workpiece flying off, the drillbit breaking or overheating. You can easily find rpm charts online. Don't press too hard on the handle and lubricate. When you lubricate with something like acetone from a spray bottle, that will evaporate without stains by itself or with the help of compressed air.

I am not a woodworker but I learn a lot of fascinating things here and I see you put out an amazing product and expect that.

just one thing for your consideration, the transition between the 2 parts of the base might be best solved if you intentionally add a pattern between them so to state the transition clearly. The smothness of the curve makes the two directions of the lines of the wood somewthat abrupt.

I really liked this project. The standing foot is gorgeous and highly aesthetic as it follows clear coherent lines/curves. The mirroring of wood has always been one of my favorite tricks for creating unique surfaces, well done here with this beautiful piece of wood. Would have been such a shame to throw it away! I also always love to listen to your commentary. I always learn something and you're a pretty interesting guy. All the best from Hamburg, if you ever visit germany, hit me up! :-D

Beautiful table. Well done. I just came across this video, love it. I saw an Irish Setter.

And i do really enjoy these artistic ones. i am definitely a person who prefers functional art rather than just function or just art when it comes to woodworking, pottery, glass blowing (i've done 2 of these, hope to do the 3rd someday, too).

I love watching your videos and I love how you take your time and explain what you're doing as you go along. For some reason, watching you cut, sand, and glaze your piece is very satisfying. For the image in the wood, I see a golden retriever myself. 😊

16:56 when you first started the video I saw a big butterfly 🦋 with a knot on each wing point, but know I see a sad, blind puppy with floppy ears down each side and his tongue sticking out. I love these small projects breca use they lend themselves to show us the different projects that can be done without using ten gallons of epoxy. As to the edge, I think you made the right choice for a round table, not only does it look cool it eliminates the possibilities of splinters found on straight sides.

I enjoy all the projects you do! From one side I saw a sloth, from the opposite side a saw a "Phoenix rising" or a fire hawk.

I think the project looked really beautiful, especially the shape, grain, and wood color. Thanks for the hard work and the inspiration!
