NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not again...... // That wrap around method is the bomb, I never would have thought of it. It really does look like some super thick boards. // For the open grain, did you try grain filler? I know I did some red oak pieces many years ago and used grain filler to get an even look. // Really beautiful piece, great job!
@@5ElementsWoodworking 😂 thanks TS!! I didn’t try grain filler, I actually like that it’s kind of open like that. The client had a Restoration Hardware style in mind so this was better. Of course it takes a little more to apply stain but it was worth it at the end. Appreciate it man!
HOW COULD YOU?!?! Make another GORGEOUS piece!! To anyone not enjoying the black, which is beautiful, tell them they’re certainly able to hire you to make it how they want it. Excellent build, knowledge filled video, and great cameo 😂
Fabulous table. And don't let anyone bully you. The black is a personal choice and personally I think it looks amazing. Just because the nay-sayers wouldn't choose black doesn't make it wrong. If the client likes it, that's all that matters. I'm "borrowing" that folding / wrapping trick at some point. Keep it up.
Thanks Mark! I actually don’t mind people giving their opinions. What really matter is if the client likes it and if I’m happy with it. Plus, it helps with engagement lol😂.
Nice job Fantin! that was a great video and nice storytelling as well. The table is gorgeous and I'm still jealous of your new shop space. Keep up the fantastic work.
@@allsurf thanks. I tried a sample with red oak, pores are too open (a lot more “bleeding”), so I would need to fill the grain which wasn’t the look the client was looking for. And the red oak didn’t really turn out as close to the sample I needed to replicate as the white oak did…
What an awesome project! I love the contrast between the black legs & the lighter top. I had a client that went the other way with a 12-person 1.5" thick hickory top on a single pedestal. The base was painted white while the top was GF water-based provincial, which on the hickory was really black. That contrast turned out to look amazing, just like this table. Thks for sharing.
@fantinwoodworking Yes, it was. It broke down to the base with the slides, which was 210 lb. Each of the 3 slabs was 98 lb each for a combined weight of 504 lb. I made a ladder out of 2" hickory that had 4 handles made into that bolted to the transition plate so 4 people could pick up and move. Then the ladder comes off & is stored, and then the rest of the slider mechanism goes on. I even had to build an overhead gantry crane 29 feet long by 13 feet wide to be able to build and move around the shop during construction, which took several months.
@fantinwoodworking It was an amazing feeling to see it in the clients home finished and ready to go. I was over there a few weeks ago looking at another custom desk build, and when I looked at the base, I had forgotten just how huge it was. It was 21" round, which then transitioned into interlocking feet. It was one of the coolest projects I've ever pulled off. The craziest was the forklift franken lathe I built to be able to trun the 148 lb piece of maple for the center of pedestal. That was a little intimidating, but figured with it spinning, it wouldn't flip over built onto the 8000 lb forklift. There was an intense amount of thinking that went into this build. The clients had tried for several years to find such a table, but it didn't exist until now. I've got tons of pictures and videos.

Thoughtfully designed, meticulously planned and expertly executed! You, my friend, are top notch!!! I love this piece ❤
@@SeanMac5253 ahh Sean my friend - thanks man. Coming from you it means a lot :)

@@thedelawarevalleyworkshop thank you Joe!! Appreciate it :)
nice product. (the video quality could use some improvement, its looks too bright, with missing/incorrect colors)
@@balazslakatos9817 thanks for the feedback. Color grading is next on my list.
2nd question, approximately how much was the material cost if you don't mind sharing?
@@5ElementsWoodworking I need to look. I’ll get back to you :)
Beautiful work, Fantin!! I absolutely love it - including the contrasting black legs
@@gregorythomasd07 thank you Greg!!

Thank you!
Never seen this technique used before. Have to try it at some point. I just love it when youtubers help eachother!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow most excellent! The wrap around technique worked really well. Very nice work sir.
@@johnthomas3264 thank you so much!!! I was happy with it too!
Came out nice. If you’re going to stain it that color I think you could have used red oak and save $$$$. 🤙🏻

@@fantinwoodworking got it. Looks great and I love staining wood black. 👍🏻

@@richardobermark755 thank you so much. That table must have been heavy!! :).

@@richardobermark755 thats insane! I’m sure it must have felt good when it was done.
