I'm honestly unable to describe how much I like and want this kind of table in my living room. You did an amazing job and weren't it for my complete inability to do any type of wood working and my complete lack of tools in a two bedroom apartment... I'd make this immediately!

No kidding! I'm half tempted to get a quote from a local carpenter. It would be perfect for my studio. I have a coffee table that raises up but the mechanism is kinda clunky and the leaves are a game changer for usability.

I own one too - it's a Danish design from the 1960s. I remember doing my homework on it then and broke one of the extended leaves by leaning on it too hard.

My parents had a clever table from like the 60's that did this... you actually rotated the top surface 90 degrees, then you could pull it apart and put an extra piece in the middle. It could also be lifted up to be a higher table with a clever mechanism.... I should take some pictures (I still have it, but don't use it)

This is stunning! Thanks for showing all of us this project. Looking forward to the next one. Great job 👍

This is incredible. Loved watching the first iteration and the final version is just stunning. I really look forward to building this soon and pray I can do half as well as you!!!!!!

Hi I am new to your channel looks like I found the perfect video to start! Just to say the craftsmanship was excellent, really amazing final piece. But also the quality of the filming and production of the video is great, good pace, good detail and clear voice over. Look forward to watching more!

Michael - Absolutely beautiful build! I enjoyed watching every minute of it. Thank you for sharing it with us!

This is one of the nicest tables I have ever seen. With you much going on it still has a sleek simple form and look to it and doesn't look messy. I love it so much.

Such an amazing process and it's been wonderful to see this go from prototype to the finished version. Thanks for taking us along this journey with you!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the way you show your problem solving on your builds.

Holy cow the amount of work put into this video is incredible!! And providing plans is just going above and beyond, this video deserves a lot of views man.

I don't think I've ever regretted living in an apartment and not having space for a workshop and tools more than right now. I LOVE that table so much.

What a beautiful build. Thx for showing!

Awesome video, its great to see V2 of this table turned out great. Gotta say i like the new intro video, those shots looking through the patterned plywood...... brilliant

This looks great! I liked the first one, but knew it still needed work. This looks like you fixed the problems, and have a beautiful, useful, and solid result.

Amazing work. Looks beautiful. I’d love to see a murphy-desk. Maybe something that looks like a wall-mounted mirror when closed but opens to a drafting table. Cork-board on the inside for working sketches, pencils and marker storage etc. Having a drafting table in a small space is challenging.

I love your way of going through the logic of issues you are working. Nice!

Incredible work and great editing / explaining / storytelling. You have earned yourself a new subscriber based solely on the quality of this video! Looking forward to checking out more of your projects.

This is an awesome build! I just ordered the plans (you should charge more). I appreciate the level of detail and the tenacity you showed to get everything just right! I plan to make one of these for my daughter for Christmas! I look forward to whatever you throw yourself into next!

Oh man this is an incredible piece... I would love to have one of these in my living room! A much more elegant solution than folding tables.

I’ve been looking for a build video on this specific application for ages. Thank you!

Dark and light! I really enjoyed your openhearted talk and really great tips!

You're going to have this table for a looong time. So much attention to detail and all that work paid off. It looks so good!! Also love the intro sequence with the prob lens shots

Beautifull work ❤️ We call that kind of pull a Dutch pull, here in Denmark. You should give the inner sides of the extra plates ( the side plates/ bords) that you pull out, a HOLLOW finish so they are snug with the edge of the main table plate, thats what make it even more perfect. 🤗 ❤️ from the 62 year old girl in Denmark

thanks for this beautiful video micheal, the actual video it self is such a masterpiece, and the tablee also, your a true artist keep up your good work we all love you so much !

This is straight-up brilliant. Great video work as well. Nice job! Quickly becoming my favorite woodworking channel.

Not even a carpenter and I found this fascinating! Almost shocking that you would offer such an incredible design plan out for everyone (extremely generous!) because I’m sure just the design itself could have huge value.

Looks amazing!!! U can route pockets on the underside of the leaves to act as handles to make the pulling force on them more consistent and centered

What an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Incredible craftsmanship and so inspiring, well done!

Thanks for sharing your learning experience. This is the same type of problems that I tend to run in and your explanations are helpful

True perseverance Michael, within the build and in the problem solving. Liked the cereal box jig fix and was thankful as you probably were that the veneer fix of the bridal joint didn't fracture on you. Beautiful work

I've been waiting with baited breath for this day ever since the prototype!

This is gorgeous. I suggested it before, but I really feel like this could be an initial starting design for a convertible sitting-to-standing desk if there's a way to make the lift action even and stable so that you don't need to empty the top in order to raise it.

exactly my line of thought. Whithout the leaves, the top would be easier to lift and put down, basically, you have to work around the frame to have a sturdy enough one and make those folding arms.(easier said than done)

Really enjoyed watching you build this table, mistakes and all. Best of all you have shown me a new (to me) tool line, the Rocker tools look great and I can't to to use them. Thank you for the great production!

About 8:20, I've had a teacher who explained that when you cut wedges, you have to absolutely make sure the tip can't get wedged between the sawblade and the table. He had to ´throw away a sawblade as it got bent when a wedge got stuck. In your setup it looks fine, as the clearance between blade and table is quite small, but I'd still recommend cutting the wedge the other way around, so the tip lands on a solid surface.

Wow that is so cool! Looks very smooth too, aesthetically, and no sharp corners or edges. It pretty much covers everything you could possibly want to do, coffee table, desk, eating table, board games, puzzles etc. Looks like you could probably adjust it without taking everything off the top (like leave light non breakable items), and it looks like you don't have to really move it out or around much to expand it. Pretty sweet table.
