A 3 in one design! Ping pong table, workbench, bomb shelter. The big joinery really looks cool.

Would also work as earthquake shelter for the west coast types

Make sure you do your final assembly in the room it is going to stay. 😊

Great build. Enjoyable dad daughter stuff too! Thanks for all you do,

Done in a shop that is no more. It has been moved to a new location. Can't wait to see the new shop!

Got some big framing slicks when I wanted to do my Roubo workbench. Pounding out the mortises by hand with no pre-drilling was just a blast. Talk about big chunks of wood flying out! Very enjoyable.

That table can double as a heavy equipment component workbench. Like for small parts such as diesel engines, transmissions, and differentials.

You will be able to park a dump truck on that table. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Can’t wait to see the new shop. You are still one of my favorite channels.

If something can be done it can be overdone. Nice work :)

I wish I would have watched this earlier. I spent several hours doing, and re-doing a drawbored mortise and tenon joint and would have benefited from seeing you do it.

If you hadn't said at the beginning that it was going to be a ping pong table, I would have thought you were making a very small barn. Wood dimensions are about right 😂

That table will outlive ping pong.

Glad you’re sharing this project with us!

I would love to see the whole build.😊

Love it, that is a crazy amount of work for a ping pong table but will be brilliant when done and amazing seeing the process and the skill that is going into it

Gday James, from James, I want interested in ping pong but always wanting to learn more on timber framing! Keep it up hardest working man in KZread land

What a wonderful project for a great cause! I can't even begin to imagine what it would cost to commission someone to do this, but if you get most of your "fee" from us, then all the better. I'd watch a 15-part series, honestly. You're thoroughly entertaining.

That’ll be a nice and stout table. Happy moving!

Can’t wait to see the rest of

Camps are fun. Spent 40 years now volunteering at girls summer camp.

Thanks James.

Big fan of this project.

Hokey smoke -- that's going to be massive. I think I'd draw the line a little short of this -- I don't think I want to try to build something that's going to be too heavy for me to lift.

Ping pong is a blast

Also why I'd love to work on tally ho(small ship) is to make big joints

Interesting. It might be very bouncy where the supports will be. Added challenge to the game.

And STILL jealous of your foot powered machinery

Watch James make a table with the Tenons to start then immediately watch Matt Cremona make frames with the Mortises first.

Nice design! Bomb proof…. Best of luck on the move….

Love it. Thanks for the inspiration!

looks like fun

thanks

It may survive teenagers. Maybe knot. I hope your "moving experience " is going good. I suddenly found myself starting down that path. Currently up over 100 hand planes (& counting) packed up.

rock solid

You planning to make matching Paddles, net and ball?

I'd like to try some big joinery someday - might save it for a workbench!

I realised quite quickly in my woodworking journey that I love joinery by hand but I'm not a fan of breaking down timber by hand, my bandsaw and planer/thicknesser (joiner/planer I think you'd call it) make my woodworking far more fun (and quicker). Don't feel you have to completely avoid power tools just because you're a "hand tool" channel!

Another great video! Thank you James!

Beautiful work, James! It's looking amazing already! 😃 And since it's not for the new house... How about a multi gaming table to have there? I've seen some done in different ways... But I bet you could create something pretty easily. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

When mankind has left the building, and cockroaches rule the Earth, that table will be there. Two opposable thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼

big joints are really fun!

Great video. Hope the move is going well.

That's a fun idea. Are you donating the lumber, or did they supply it?

Really cool video!!

James It looks good

Table tennis !!!!

Great video!

I'm curious if the ball will bounce the same on a table that has so much mass and will certainly be stiffer than common ping pong tables.

Wow! You will be able to bat bowling balls back and forth on that table.

Wonderful, where did you get the new Chisels for the foot morticer?

Found someone selling them on Facebook

As an old-school woodworker, without a table or band saw, who uses linseed oil and wax to finish EVERYTHING, it amazes me that you use modern 2-part epoxy glue so much. You kept saying all the joints would be pegged, which makes the table more portable. Why not mechanically attach the lumber for the legs together, or use 4x4 ash, which is almost free here in the Midwest?

He’s not talking about a removable peg, he’s talking about a drawbore mortise and tenon. It will be glued together permanently.

From Groucho Marx, PIng Pong spelled back wards is Gnip Gnop...... Now you will never get that out of your mind..... I am evil!

G' Day mate Greetings from Croatia Great job as always I have a question, your opinion and anyone who's reading this Im about to build a big huge church door And im thinking make it hollow for the weight sake, something like a house frame out of wood, then put some 2 +inch thick wooden panels around it. Stractualy is sound but im woried about condesation and creating some water inside etc., and get a problems later What are your toughts Thanks

Since the legs are actually 2 pieces of wood glued together face to face will that keep the leg from being able to expand and contract and eventually lead to warping or splitting legs?

@WoodByWrightHowTo

no. the joints will be drawbored that will allow the wood to move however it needs to.

Is the top going to be oak too?

No the top is going to be replaceable.

Just a question: is there a special reason for the tenons of the diagonal piece to be only three-sided, if you see what I mean? Thanks in advance!😊

@WoodByWrightHowTo

If you mean how these shoulder of the tendon comes all the way to the tip of the diagonal that's just there to give it a little bit more material to work with. Because it's on an angle there's only so much solid material you can have and the more the better.

I understand if you don’t get to comment back for a while, but where do you get your epoxy, and what kind do you get? Also, may God watch over you, your family, and all of your belongings in the move.

I use a bunch of different epoxies for different uses. But for general adhesion I use total boat high performance. I usually get it on amazon.

Mortise first is when you use a mortising chisel. It has a fixed width, so the tenon has to fit the width of whatever chisel you happen to have in your toolbox.

None of us will judge you for buying a nice tablesaw. Well, I won’t. Much…
