Wow ! Absolutely stunning! All of it. The design, the process and the result. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first time watching your work. I stumbled across this when researching on extendable tables. This is top tier work, I have to say. As a fellow woodworking enthusiast, good luck man...

I subscribed because of the forgotten joinery video, but since then I have never regretted watching a video of yours. A sweet pleasure as always sir.

Well done. Exactly what I was looking for. I really like how you left the long grain direction.

Hi from Canada Joey!! All I can say is that you are a very impressive craftsman. Thanks for sharing your work. Cheers, Curtis

I enjoy each of the videos I watch of yours. I am inspired by your sliding dovetails for tables like these and hope to try it in my new shop once I move in and get set up.

Man oh man, this is an awesome table, tnx for sharing it!!!

Extreme beautiful your job. Congratulations!

I have a giant mix of hate and envy about that amazing, long sliding dovetail for the table top. Wow, that is really impressive. Thanks for the video!! That is a really impressive build, imho.

Awesome table joey ! I wonder how a guy with no prior experience can build the things you do . You are truly an inspiration to us guys who would only love to get to do what you do as our jobs . Your videos are so motivational and inspiring as well as the story you shared in one of your other videos on how you got started . Thank you ,I really appreciate the videos you make , please make more because I’ve already watch all the ones you already have made .

Beautiful wood and job!

I love your channel. So much talent! My dream would to see New Zealand. I’m fascinated by the history and people!

While being true for basically every of your build videos, bit especially here i like seeing an fair amount and appropriate use of hand and power tools in combination. There s too many guys and gals trying to fit anything on the table saw or never ever touch a hand plane.

Your videos are great for an apprentice. Clever solutions to a problem if you don't have all the big machines and all that. People who have just finished school who are used to all the machines and easy ways may think that it's almost impossible working in the business without all that. This shows them different. You also seem to take on jobs that challenge you well done on that!

Great design. I love that you were able to reuse timbers. I am jealous of you being able to do so much work without a dust mask. I love woodworking but it doesnt like me so I have to wear a dust mask all the time ... What a pain.

@chatoyancewoodworks1205

6 жыл бұрын

I've seen a few woodworkers come down with allergies to various species of wood due to over exposure (breathing the dust for extended periods of time). They had to stop working with those species and in some cases, had to give up woodworking all together. My dad developed an allergy to redwood and could no longer be around the dust without his throat closing up and choking him. He could handle it, and assemble projects with it, but no cutting or sanding. That's when he'd call me! Now, I think of him every time I complain about my dust mask. I love woodworking so much, I ware the mask remembering to be grateful I still have that option.

The beauty of Kauri is that it has a great strength to weigh ratio and resists rot better than other woods. I think is more like our Fir. I have never seen Kauri in the US. Nice table.

Beautiful table it has become. The extension mechanism is awesome because the degree nut connection I know of tabletops fix

can i ask, how does your table saw perform with thick boards? does it run on a 10amp circuit?

@KingPostTimberWorks

7 жыл бұрын

Wesley Inglis hi, yip is 10amp and have not had a problem ripping on it. I do also have a good ripping blade which makes it easier on the machine.

Wow, really clever.

Times have changed so much. In school during the 70s, we learned proper wood joinery with hand tools (the only power tool we had was a pillar drill) & the project over one term was to build a table. It could be a coffee table or a dining table depending on what money you(r parents) spent for the materials & what effort you were willing to put in after classes. I remember to this day whittling the mortise & tenon joints, using chisels which you also learned to hone & sharpen as well as hand saws on which you learned to set & sharpen all as part of the process. We learned to set up & use block & jack hand planes, sanding was all the hard work way with a block & sandpaper. The glue we used was Cascamite, a powder which you had to mix with water & the finish was polished linseed oil & beeswax. I bet millennials would not have a clue...

Thanks for the reply, the wood is due out of the kiln next week so I will let you see the results....... if it’s any good 😃

Joey, I noticed sometimes you use the Kapex and other times the Makita chop saw; do you use the Kapex for cabinetry/smaller work or did you just purchase it later on? Also- how did you get to now? A bio video would be awesome- your journey and how you came to establish KingPost. Love the videos! Keep 'em coming!

Great work, absolutely superb. Do you think that design would work with Oak, in that I mean, the weight of the Oak, would it put too much pressure on the sliding dovetails and cause the table to splay/ bend?

@KingPostTimberWorks

6 жыл бұрын

+adrian strudwick cheers yea I think oak would be ideal. As the kauri is a bit soft for the dovetail.

❤

Almost great. The table must be very expensive. At this price i want to see clean joins, a smooth mechanism and an original design. The dowels from the leaf are not the best choice in my opinion, not at this level. It is massive, hard to transport so you may consider a way to make it removable.

Oh ok I know it well I used to work for Wharahine contractors.You would be off looking for deadfall kauri in the Dome valley

Have you had any issues with the leaf not fitting over time? I usually see bread board ends to help with expansion and contraction throughout the year.

Absolutely Beautiful. What is the glue you are using on the 'Board'? Just bulk PVA rather than squeezing out of a standard bottle or something special like epoxy?

Hard to believe this timber was used for floor joists. I suppose it was plentiful at the time. However what a great job you have done and no doubt it will last for many many years. How many coats of Oil did you apply ? Great video and keep them coming.........Brian.

The other day I found 4 old growth 8' x 14" x 3/4" quarter sawn, clear, redwood boards, without paint, right next to my truck at the local dump. I didn't hesitate to put them in my truck and save them from ending up as garden mulch. Old growth redwood was used everywhere here in northern california until it was gone. You can still find recycled, but you pay the price. It really is crazy and sad. They can replant it, but I wonder if there will ever be any lumber like the old growth.

Do you have the plans for this that you’d be willing to share?
