One of a Kind Coffee Table
Ойын-сауық
I built this coffee table using 3 hardwoods: maple, cherry & walnut. It measures 24"x48" and the top is 3" thick end grain. The base is solid walnut and the drawers are cherry. This was a massive project and my largest to date. I drew inspiration for this build from a cutting board pattern that originated from MTMWood.
This was a lot of fun to build with a few trying times along the way. Between the build, filming and editing, this took me.....a long time :) As always, there are a few things I could improve upon; my joinery being a good example. I learned a TON on this and look forward to another project like this one.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
This is the carpentry version of Damascus Steel. Hugely impressive planning and execution. A master craftsman. Thanks for sharing your work.

You are the hi end or the low end in your shop. Your attention to to detail determines your skill level no matter what tool is in your hands. You can have the finest tools in the world and still not turn out a piece of art like this. Ryan Hawkins did a fantastic job here!
This is nothing short of a masterpiece. What the average person doesn't know or see is the fact when doing work like this, even if it's a simple cutting board. One slip or over cut requires adjustment to other work pieces as well or the pattern will not work perfectly. Also the titanic amount of prep work involved is nothing short of crazy. Great work my man.

Absolutely mesmerized watching you build the table. You, Ryan, have a talent, gifted with patience, and a titebond with your craft. Great job.
Все что я видел на ютубе до этого не идет в сравнение . Колоссально трудоемкий процесс, и впечатляющий результат ! Браво!
Absolutely beautiful work of ART by this very creative individual. Love it!
Impressive talent for an almost lost art. Absolutely beautiful! I love ❤️ the look of a piece of furniture with the natural wood speaking for its own beauty! You're a talented person!

watching videos like this is what got me into furniture and woodworking. seeing works like this off the affordable contractor equipment convinced me I could in fact do it too. 6 years later and now i have all the bling tools and while it may have removed some extra sanding or planning the end results are the same. the bling tools speed up the setup and assist in repeatability but its the skill and creativeness of the craftsman that truly makes the difference.
This is absolutely breathtaking. Your precision & eye for design is masterful.
Insane! Now this takes talent, know how, and experience to make something this time consuming turn out so perfectly. Beautiful work.
Spectacular! This coffee table is just beyond words and the zigzag handles on the drawers is the cherry on top!!!
OMG! This is absolutely beautiful! I am awestruck. The kind of craftsmanship is out of the world. I wish I could buy one of your work of art and hope I can actually afford it! This is crazy. Well done Sir! 👌👌👌
*MAGNIFICENT! TRULY MAGNIFICENT! Watching you build this table was a feast for the eyes, and the brain! You sir, are a true artisan!*
Wow, your attention to detail and creativity are astounding. Much respect.
Вы, безусловно большой мастер. Изделие выполненно не только с высоким качеством, но и в едином художественном стиле, а это уже говорит о Вашем уровне мастерства.
I like a lot about this project, but I have to tell you it is your well-organized, spacious, and tidy workshop that really caught my eye. I make my own beehive equipment, and for just a second I thought you could be making the worlds fanciest beehive.
Stunningly beautiful! The attention to detail is extraordinary.
No words to describe this project from its inception, to the design, execution and finish. Thanks for sharing this, absolutely a skill level to aim for.
What an absolutely marvelous end result! I love the pattern of the top, how you constructed the bottom--the whole thing is absolutely gorgeous. The *only* thing I, as a customer with a touch of OCD would ask for is that the handles on the drawers should be symmetrical. Flip that right hand drawer pull over and this is 100% perfection.

Yeah I was just thinking this is fairly simple, but you need really well tuned equipment to pull this off. You see the full setup with the planer, digital angle finder for the perfect miter etc. Yes a lot of people could build this, but no it wouldn't look as perfect without some real craftsmanship, and those minor details can really scream about someone's experience level. It's crazy how even if you're just missing 10% quality, that can be a big difference when you're comparing work.
Ryan, that's one of the most beautiful tables I have ever seen anyone build. You did a phenomenal job and I agree with the last comment… What a masterpiece. You should be very proud.
The incredible talent and artisanship this required is evident in the final product. I really appreciate your attention to detail and how you check to make sure your measurements are exact, your corners are square, and your design is flawless. Inspiring video!

@@Scott_A you’re right, perspective is important. My point was that he has tools that are more affordable for most people. His table saw is a $700 Ridgid not a $5000 sawstop. He’s got a $400 dewalt planer and not a $6000 Hammer planer jointer combo. It’s a good of example of using what you have to make something beautiful and to not fall into the trap of thinking you need the most expensive tools to do anything.

First time I see a coffee table pattern like this. Very unique.
This reminds me more than most woodworking videos, that it doesn't just take skill to create such a beautiful complex piece, it takes patience, a LOT of patience.
That's the most wood, glue and no doubt time I've ever seen put into a table of that size! Looks stunning I hope you got paid as much as it weighs lol great job 👍
That is more professional as 90% of the other stuff you get today. A real masterpiece and I assume it has quite the price if you sold it...
An amazing piece of art!!! Just keeping the pieces in order is an achievement in itself, Kudos. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
This kind of mosaic tabletop breaks like, every rule of traditional woodworking. But it does it in the most beautiful way!
Can’t believe that whole table only took 26 minutes to make... seems like it would take weeks😂😂

Oh, sure they did. You just don't see the pieces anymore. ...mostly because when you completely entrap 5 different species of wood inside of one another with glue the orient their respect grains literally every which way, it's a matter of time before you get a really humid summer and the piece will start to tear itself apart. You don't make a piece like this for your great-grandchildren. It's be falling apart by then (and pretty much impossible to service). For the same reason you wouldn't build one for a client unless they insisted (you'd try to steer them in a different direction, because f'real: you're NOT gonna be able to service this thing). No, this is a labor of love, for the sheer fun of it. It's pretty amazing marketing/advertising too. But outside something small, like a cutting board? A piece like this... as exquisite as it is... is really just a novelty/impressive flex. I'm not knocking it, at ALL, mind. But compared to some of the intarsia from the Elizabethan era? Oh, trust me: nobody's forgotten how to do it. It's just a damn nightmare TO do (and 10x WORSE when one has to do all the video post afterwards, TOO, if I don't miss my guess.)

Priceless!! I would be putting a glass top on that to avoid straggling the person who slipped red wine on it. LOL Awesome build and great job on the video production!
The coffee ☕️ table turned out awesome, and I know I'm a year late seeing this video but hayho 😊. It must have taken you days if not weeks when doing just the table top, let alone the copious amount of woodglue that you had to use, I'd love to see how it has held up over the past 12 months etc. Had this been my project and with it turning out so good honestly I'd have been following everyone around with coasters and telling people that they had to use them otherwise they had to re-sand and finish the table top from scratch. Too nice to ruin with coffee stains !!!. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

My Grandpa was a finish wood carpenter and he would say, " a finish carpenter measures once cuts once, knows how to hide an error and no one can see it or find it, but a jackknife carpenter measures twice and cuts thrice, to whined up a smidge to short. If he is a smidge too long he uses his jackknife to try and sneak up to the fit that you can see from the road on a galloping horse."
