I always recommend one of those finish sanders for sanding round overs. There’s nothing to fear. Literally foolproof in my books. I usually do 120# first and water pop and then 220# and pop again and sand back with 220#. I mostly used waterbased products so I don’t think you’ll need that last step for other finishes
There are so many gems highlighting woodworking best practices in this video. A few years ago they flew right over my head. But after a few years of practicing the craft, it’s clear you have also studied hard. I hope your clients paid well for that table as you deserve it.
I totally get it. There are so many things that I used to not do years ago that have become common place for me now. I'm happy to hear you're learning through experience.
Beautiful job with the table and joints used to create it. Also the correctly attached solid wood top 👏👏👏 A small tip for more efficiency: There's no need to mark I/O for jointing as the triangle you drew does the same thing. When jointing, the side that has triangle line goes to the fence and then you flip the same board so the triangle line is toward you - voila 😊 Greetings from Croatia
I'm sure you're able to keep track of which edge was just jointed based on your carpenter's triangle. However, I find the redundancy of marking I/O for the jointed edges is more efficient because it ensures I don't make a mistake. And in terms of efficiency, marking I/O for the jointed edges takes all but 10 seconds. In a production shop that's jointing hundreds of edges, yes, those 10 seconds add up. In my shop, where I'm making one piece at a time, I find the extra 10 seconds to mark I/O edges is worth the reassurance.
I'm very impressed with your design and workmanship. I am considering building a similar table, although smaller. I'm curious if you experienced any cupping of the top over time. I realize that alternating the growth rings helps stablize the top and minimize cupping, but with the method you used to attach the top to the base, I wondered if you had any issues. Thanks in advance, I really enjoy your work.
I have not experienced any issues with cupping or warping. In fact, I've never had issues with cupping or warping in any of the larger panels that I've milled and glued up. It's never been an issue that I've had to contend with.
Excellent technique. Thanks for the detail in jointing and finishing. I will try your finish on a morris recliner I am making. What CNC machine are you using and why did you choose this machine? What type of CNC and CAD software do you use?
Not sure if you noted it in the video but worth keeping track of biscuit slot locations for when you cut the circle out, the last thing you want is to go straight through a biscuit slot (ask me how I know).
@@hurcorh Haha! Gotcha! I almost always realize that I left out an important step after I post a video. So yeah, it's good that you mentioned the biscuit layout for other viewers.
One question…what CNC do you use? I imagine you are a discerning buyer (given the precision of your shop) so just curious as I’m in the market for one and trying to get input from makers on the ones they like. Thanks!
My machine is custom built machine with a solid aluminum bed which helps maintain it's rigidity. The machine was built by Carl Bruce (SpeedlineCNC). I built the table that the machine sits on out of 2" square tubular steel.
Huy, there’s no need to hide my comment, I have zero complaints for you. You know it's just rude and that's it. I've been following you for several years on Instagram and always enjoyed your and Guy's podcast and now I'm kinda disappointed. It's not a big deal really, but I would appreciate even a tiny reply like: “nope man, never heard of your products” and I would say something “oh wow, great minds think alike, lol”. Remember I don’t have any complaints for you, the client showed you picture, you’ve made this commission and that’s it. I just wanted to know if is there a possibility that my business influenced yours in some way, ‘cause it would be funny assuming that you are an influencer for me (at least was). If not, wellp, guess I should be going. Cheers!
I apologize if I offended you. It was not meant to be rude. I deleted the comment to avoid someone reporting my video as copyright or design infringement. Someone in the past has reported one of my videos to UA-cam and I had to remove it due to copyright issues. I did not want anyone to think that I copied someone's design without giving proper credit. I just don't do that. This design is 100% my own and not copied from an image provided by the client. I've made two tables with similar angles and joinery, but without the large roundovers. The client never showed me a picture, and yes, great minds do think alike. Maybe I read too deeply into your original comment but I took it as "did the client show you a picture of my table that I designed," with implication that it was copied, and the answer is "no," I didn't even know you built such a table. I do know that there are a lot of very similar round tables with sculpted legs that exist.
@@AlabamaWoodworker thanks for the clarification. It's all I wanted to know. Haven't seen many similar tables, though. That is produced on a commercial level at least.
This looks almost identical to @foureyes.furnitures Surly table. I just finished building that the other day. His version cuts the base in half and then assembles it. I would have loved to do a half-lap on the base like yours but by the time I thought of that, it would have been way more difficult. Great job!
Interesting. I found inspiration for my table from Nick James @nickjamesdesign on Instagram. He produces a lot Danish modern style furniture with sculpted bases. As for the joinery, a half lap seemed to be the most obvious choice to join the upper and lower cross members.
@@AlabamaWoodworker yeah and honestly for a round table in a modern style there are really only so many ways you can go that aren’t abhorrent. Not surprised that there are similar designs.
@@Codeyellow You bring up a good point. I try to practice self restraint when it comes to design. Otherwise, I end up designing pieces that are overly complex for the sake of being "unique."
@@AlabamaWoodworker absolutely! Also, in no way am I saying that this is a copy. I think “identical” was a little too strong. The more I watch the video to learn from your technique and process, I see all the differences between the two that makes it uniquely your own. It’s a beautiful table! also that adjustable L shaped fence for cutting the angles is truly a revelation. Thank you for sharing!
Nice to see you back on YT.
Thank you
I am wo happy to see you back. Thank you for sharing your incredible skill.
Thank you for watching and following along.
Great job. Made that red oak look great. Nice table design as well
Thank you, Kerry!
Excellent! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice piece of furniture Huy! And, a terrific video with excellent explanations. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Patty!
Great work; beautiful. Love watching you build things.
Thank you, Mindy!
Another nice build, Huy! Well done.
Thank you, Dean!
Huy my old friend, you are absolutely AMAZING!! Congratulations on the Minwax sponsorship. When does your TV show air? 😜
If only I actually had TV offers. Haha!
Sir you inspire me to do better thank you.
Wow! Thank you!
Now I’m in need of some biscuits 🤤
My favorite are lard biscuits.
Nice work buddy!
Thank you, Taylor!
Your builds Huy are well thought out. I enjoy the workflow. Keep it up
Happy to building with your apron!
Beautiful table, Huy! I definitely need to make an L-fence. Looks invaluable once you know how to use it effectively.
It's an extremely useful tool. I'm happy to start incorporating it into my shop.
Nice job neighbor
Thank you, Scott!
Well done Huy, solid build. I even picked up a tip!
I am curious about the 3D Create learning curve. I’m pretty decent with Sketchup.
It's easy to start learning with the stylus. I find it faster to quickly sketch up a design.
I always recommend one of those finish sanders for sanding round overs. There’s nothing to fear. Literally foolproof in my books. I usually do 120# first and water pop and then 220# and pop again and sand back with 220#. I mostly used waterbased products so I don’t think you’ll need that last step for other finishes
Yeah, I always sand after using a prestain conditioner.

What a great way to start a Sunday morning!! Beautiful table and it’s always a good thing to be able to get the family involved. Thanks for sharing!!

Had to rewind a couple of times @5:15... The overhead view looked like you were cutting Domino slots in your workbench table!
Beautiful table!
Haha! Yeah, it does look like I'm cutting a Domino slot into the workbench. That being said, I've plunged into my assembly table a few times.

That turned out awesome Huy! 👍🏻 I really like the leg design! I sure would like to get my hands on some of your templates! 😉Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I've got to figure out a way to share my templates on my website.
@@AlabamaWoodworker that would be awesome… thank you Huy!
Excellent technique. Thanks for the detail in jointing and finishing. I will try your finish on a morris recliner I am making. What CNC machine are you using and why did you choose this machine? What type of CNC and CAD software do you use?
Hi David, I had a custom machine built by Carl Bruce in Washington. I use Kmotion CNC as the controller and Vectric Aspire as my CAM software.
Not sure if you noted it in the video but worth keeping track of biscuit slot locations for when you cut the circle out, the last thing you want is to go straight through a biscuit slot (ask me how I know).
I did not mention it in the video, but I did trace out the outline of the table prior to marking the biscuit slot locations.
@@AlabamaWoodworker Yep you of all people i'm sure kept track, I more meant just for other viewers so they don't make the same mistake I did 😆
@@hurcorh Haha! Gotcha! I almost always realize that I left out an important step after I post a video. So yeah, it's good that you mentioned the biscuit layout for other viewers.
Nice work were did you get the oak I live right outside HSV and have been looking for good wood supplier?
Check out American Hardwood in Toney. Make sure to go there before 2pm. The place is a zombie town after 2pm.

She is going to be The future You! She wants to learn!
I'd like to think so. She's fascinated with the shop.
Very Nice Huy!
