That is where the anxiety is going to be, the project was child's play in comparison.

I think another one without turning the base on the lathe, and leaving the shape as is after the glue up would be great. With a light stain instead. But I love yours as well. As always great camera work and editing. Love it

When this thing had been assembled but was on the table upside down I’m thinking, I really don’t like it. Then you flip it over and I’m like, wow that’s actually a really cool and unique piece!! So great job mate

There is something very understated about the muted grain of blacked out oak/ash. Of course it hurts to watch at first but the end result is very sleek. Surprised at how well the top turned out. Reminded me of the relationship between order and chaos

Really happy to hear that! Thank you!

the best part of the video is the guy took time to explain and show the rough art design in beginning which most of channels dont do. it help as a viewer, rather than looking a piece of wood getting polished and cut without knowing what the final product layout is?

I love that table I am new to wood working so everything I make is trying some thing new

12:58 regarding why you're getting splinters vs. ribbons- you probably know this, and someone has probably already mentioned it in the comments already, but it looks like you're using carbide tools, which work with more of a scraping mechanism, while Ashley Harwood (the turner from the clip, for any viewers wondering) uses traditional turning gouges, which cut the wood, rather than scraping it. You'll never get those ribbons from the carbide tools. They're easier to use, but don't typically give as fine a finish as the traditional gouges.

Lovely!

Beautiful!

That is a lovely table. It brought back some memories for me too. 20 years ago, when I dropped out of office work and went to study furniture design and making at college as a non woodworker, the first student project was a cabinet with doors. All the other students designed and made simple rectangular bathroon cabinets. Me, not knowing it would be complicated, designed a cabinet with coopered, tapered doors. The doors were similar in size and proportion to one of the halves of your table leg, but big end at the top. My tutor was concerned I couldn't do it, as we had to work out our own design and working processes. I did it, all with hand tools too. It really helped not having any preconceived ideas about it being difficult, so I just got on with the job. It then got featured in a local art gallary along with my other college pieces. Thank you for the memory jog. It has been a pleasure watching your videos.

Not knowing ("like everyone else does") that something can't be done is, IMO, a head start on being able to do "it", whatever "it" is. Many confuse "difficult" with "impossible". "Extremely hard" encourages us to work out new ways of "doing"

This is great. I like the conical nature of the base. And a new challenge to boot! I’ve been sitting on my hands about some builds, I’ll try to get one done for the challenge!

Great project. I enjoy the journey when viewing.

That turned out great. I like the organic mix between the two woods. Almost like the walnut spilled and left its stain behind. This gave me an idea and now I need to get out in the garage to try something new!

Love your videos and your vibe. U seem to be such a nice guy. Congrats to your beautiful work!

I love the contrast between the wood, but I have a noob question: do you need to worry about wood movement for something like this? Will the two different woods in the tabletop expand/contract differently, and could that cause the joint to pop open? Or did you orient the grain in a particular way that accounted for this already? If so, what was that process like? Sorry if it was discussed in another video that I missed, but the concept of designing around wood movement is like a mystery black hole to me sometimes, especially as a person who has exclusively used plywood so far to make all my projects.

Bro took the words right out of my mouth when he talked about his massive walnut salb😅😅😅😂😂😂

also, literally everything i do is a i wanted to try it and lets see how it goes. started with planters and simple stuff, have made floor beds with a million dados, live edge epoxy pour coffee tables, barn doors, adirondack chairs, wedding signs, game boards, etc. same goes for joinery, ive done thru mortise and tenons for a dog bowl holder for crying out loud lol. the current build has a different way to do leg joints/box joints for drawer boxes/bridle joints/waterfall grain miters, and continuous grain drawer fronts with push to open slides. none of that have i ever done before but its going pretty well. got the drawer boxes ready today, all solid ash too because i can lol

I really respect how your videos always make me feel like woodworking is something that I personally could do instead of seeing the process and feeling like it's unachievable I really enjoy seeing the fact that you aren't always sure about what your outcome will be and it gives a lot of confidence in not being scared of messing up.

That awesome! I have a bunch of walnut slab offcuts that I now know what I'm going to do with them.

Great proyect Shaun...!! As always...

There's a tool that does all the calculations for the splayed staves (like your base), and helps you set up your saw, without any math. Tranquill Woodcraft JS3!

It's always fun to try new things, so kudos. The table top was novel and lovely. I liked it very much. The base? Eh. Not so much.

I loved the Super Mario analogy... always great content, thanks!

Looks dope

Well done Shawn! We all need to stretch with what we have. And also you sat on it which is not technically laying but I get it!

I really like this thing you're doing. It's like your building epoxy river tables but using a different wood instead of epoxy. Would love to see you do a full sized table using contrasting woods and create the epoxy river table vibe but with wood not epoxy. .

​@@shaunboydmadethisI know this is an old video but this build was awesome and I really love the base you did‼️ I was wondering if you think it'd be achievable to get the same look except with a brass or gold epoxy inlay in place of the "dados" you cut on the lathe that ring the circumference of the base? And if so, how would one achieve that!? 🤔

Gotta pause for sec and comment this 9:00 I’m glad I’m not the only one that uses this technique 👍 now I’ll watch the rest of the video 👍

That bottom round over (radius?) on the leg is incredibly well judged, just enough to create a balanced shadow line against the floor without making the leg feel like it's going to topple over. Thanks as always.

The underside of the table top looked great without the chamfer, another alternative to try for the top side in the future 😃 Or for cabinet doors etc.

very unique piece shaun, I dig it!

Thanks for sharing.

I wasn't aware of the challenge. Thanks for sharing the details and this cool build. I have a lot of "I always wanted to..." so I'm excited to pick one a actually get it done. Thanks for the motivation.

That guy don‘t like to fix his workpieces 😏 very nice work, cool video 👍🏻

Fantastic table!

Great project, thanks for sharing! I did however think you were going to add a brass strip around each of the groves you added on the base.

you guys are the best

Another perfect example of your work that looks simple, but is in actuality a fantastically sophisticated piece of functional art. It's a circle on a cone. Yet, it's only when someone examines the details that they would see the expertise. That's good design. Excellent work, yet again.

Lots of (most) people don't understand those of us who are "self-deprecating"; some think that it's just a way that we point out that we are better than they are at XYZ. I've found over 6+ decades that those who take themselves "less seriously" and don't spruik how "expert" they are, are more likely to be proficient in XYZ but still feel that they aren't good as they could be.

There is no right or wrong choosing between CNC or more manual tools. If the road towards the goal gives you energy, joy and pleasure, that road was the right one for you. If that means: programming every single cut on your project and cutting it on CNC, than CNC is your tool. It might not be the most effective way of building something but does it needs to be? if the long road gives you more fun and joy, the long road might just be the way you should go. ;)

Interesting lathe work. I use the lathe a lot and could have done the base many different ways that did not require a cnc machine. Having said that , your stave construction was excellent and your solution for flattening the ends was very effective. I like this project a lot. I am not criticizing just remarking that there are many ways to reach the same end

This is so amazing! Would you be able to speak to how you made the initial calculations for the 10 pieces? So many angles to consider!

The timing of “objectively bad at CNC operation” at the moment the workpiece chatters out of place, and at the same time, the sound of it triggering captions to add: [applause] 😂

beautiful and inspiring

Heavy duty double sided carpet tape works great on a cnc to hold down wood

The only thing I don't like is the black on the base. Good work as always.

Amazing

Absolutely love the crushed potato chip demonstration!

I appreciate the fact you barely use the cnc. I like the old fashion way better using conventional tools. Not a robot sort of speak. So, keep up the good work Shaun. Ty.

Also - from my turning experience - the other way you can true up on the lathe - you can make jam chucks and true up 1 end with a parting tool then attach your screw chuck to that side the true up the other side. But yeah if you can do it with a CNC, that's a great solution.
