Mike, your attention to detail in perfecting your clean cuts is rarely seen these days. I've never seen anyone fitting a halving joint and fine tuning a piece into a dado with a plane before. Most just rely on the tolerance of the saw cut. (Not even Good Ol' Norm) Sets you above the rest and in the league of Japanese Masters. Your narration cracks me up too, love your relaxed, understated style

Great video as always!

Such a beautiful table! love the socks. I was just talking to my husband about how specific songs take you back to a certain memory. I was referring to a Green Day song where it makes me think of riding home on the school bus. good times.

The shop apprentice is certainly growing, all ready to be a big brother. The table is an extremely beautiful piece, I really like its 'simple' lines. As a newbie I think I find things have a clean appearance are by far the hardest. There’s no routing to hide my mistakes and the idea of making cuts at a 2° angle blows my mind. I wouldn’t trust either my table saw or band saw, both ok hobbyist models, to make such a cut accurately. I’d trust myself even less. The legs are gorgeous and the care you took to get the veneer perfect is so typical of the standards you set yourself. I love watching you work with such skill and precision, it really is inspiring and always reminds me to take more care. You definitely demonstrate the difference between a skilled professional and an amateur. Though I can see myself buying the plans soon as I to give it a try. Being my age there are many songs that take me back to specific times in my life, most of them like "Ashes to Ashes" were probably out before you were born. Another great video, and as I've said before I really learn a lot from your narration. I hope your wife/partner/girlfriend is doing well.

Acetone will remove polyurethane glue, or at least soften it enough to scrape away. For small spills or patches on fingertips you might try fingernail polish remover (not tested, but should work). Either of these will dry out your skin, melt a lot of common plastics, and require adequate ventilation.
