I so appreciate all your videos. I just joined a woodworking collective after not having access to a shop for more than 25 years. I've been desperately missing working with my hands, and your projects have been an inspiration for what directions I'll explore now that I have access to a shop again. I've much to learn, and the sharing of your experience and knowledge will be part of my journey back to turning wood into things both beautiful and functional. Thank you!

I love the way that the “thank you” was timed with that satisfying (visual) clunk of the metal into the perfectly cut niche.

Also - I LOVE what you did with this piece. I think the ebonized wood with the top look fantastic!

One of the reasons to build your own furniture is to make it look the way you want it to look. I didn’t either build or commission this, so it doesn’t matter that I’d have gone for the redder color. The design, comments, and video are all very nicely done.

Hey Chris, Just met you through the past 4hrs, in watching your videos. Thank you so much. I'm appreciative of all the knowledge and wisdom you bring to the "table", lol, back at you. Your work is exquisite, so well thought out. Your process of building ties into above thought. I catch you, your approach, your reasoning, your ability to understand the problems that come up, and how to remedy them in a Simply Genious way! Much respect! Like "high five shit". Truly it shows, that you've been through the miles, the hrs, the dedication, that all leads to success. I'm so happy to have found your channel. It's all at the level of my experience, which is to simply say; you give much value to all levels. You make things understandable, creatively, as well as practically. You do this in a manner that teaches "all types". The world of carpentry/woodworking, holds many levels of understanding, techniques and personalities. There's much wisdom on all levels for all types! Its incredible to me, the amount of knowledge, and,technique, you are passing on... just a big high five! Way to go! Keep it up! Looking forward to "hoping on board". Plans and so forth... 3 immutable laws of the universe: 1) you reap what you sow 2) it takes time before you reap 3) you reap much more than you have sown

This video has some magic in it, as it is not only technically informative to novice and pro woodworkers, but the delivery, through creative editing in the narration, specifically the gift of the way you speak to us, is so easy to listen to. Thank you.

As a former furniture designer (not woodworker, just designer), I'm a big fan of your design and dry wit. Keep experimenting!

Oh, and the charcoal finish--absolutely gorgeous.

Gorgeous table Chris! I really like how the charcoal turned out, and I completely agree that people get too attached to the look of natural wood without considering the greater picture: the aesthetic of the finished piece in a well designed space.

I love the drawings. I love your humility. I love your style. I want more. I learned on the first big table that I built that the sanding method you present really is the best. I mark my surface with a pencil to make it easier to see where I've been, but yeah...slow is fast in this case.

Thank you for another great video. Your artistic capabilities shows well in your videos. To the question of the table, it doesn’t matter if I like it or not. This isn’t a commissioned piece. The only one that has to like it is you. That’s the great part about doing non-commissioned builds. I will say that the fact you took the time to think about that grain coloring and find a way to make it more appealing to you speaks a lot. That’s a level of detail that you don’t always see (and one I’m guilty of ignoring). Your joinery is at such a high level. Thank you for the inspiration!!

Your voiceover technique shows Great comedic wit and delivery. (I was going to say for a woodworker, but I stand by the statement as written. You have a gift, my friend!) Your woodworking skills and choices as well as discussion, thought process and arguments are interesting and add to the overall enjoyment for me. I liked how you "thought out" how to anchor the tabletop and the drawings that showed alternative ways that would have also have worked, and why you chose the final attachment design.

You surprised me honestly, because I don't know that I would have even thought to do either of those things myself. But in my humble opinion, you did what was best for the piece.

Amazing designs! I hope you don't mind a little suggestion to save a little time, but for those aluminum mounting brackets you might just cut the corners (no pun intended) on the brackets to the routed shape so you won't have to chisel the sharp corners. This might also in the future prevent the wood from splitting in those sharp corners from any stress between the table and legs.

Awesome build, and I like the idea of using stain to change the perceived generic outcome from specific wood species. Not to say it's always the right choice but I think this table came out well.

Huge +1 for the slow down tip. I've been a hobbyist woodworker for almost 30 years. I improved a lot over the frist 5-10 years as I added tools and learned new techniques, but then the quality of my work kinda' stalled. It was good, and there were few things I couldn't make, but the overall quality of the finished product was stuck. I had seen lots of really nice furniture, so I knew it was possible, but I couldn't pull it off, and I didn't know why. Fast forward 10 years, and in my 40's I simply grew more patient. I didn't know much more about woodworking than I did a decade earlier, but I was making fewer mistakes, doing fewer touch-ups, and getting noticeably better results. I didn't slow down because I thought it would make me a better woodworker, but because I was in less of a rush. Even then, it was a couple years before it occurred to me that my projects were consistently better and not really taking much longer, all as a result of slowing down. Maybe I'm denser than a block of chechen, but I eventually identified the secret sauce.

I LOVE this piece. I think the black and dark finish work really well.
