This was a great return to the Beginner to Pro series. Lou was a true beginner DIY weekend warrior build, Chris was a legit build someone with a little experience can churn out and John goes H.A.M. on the details. All three look great but how can you not want a solid Walnut end table in your house.
This is your first 3 levels since Sam and Jordan left. Hello to Lou and Chris! I also noticed a new format where the three levels were interspersed instead of each build being by itself. While htis gave it much more of a horse race vibe, it made it more difficult keep track of which techniques were used in Chris' level (2).
Love the series. again I would love 3 levels of picnic table. . with summer coming up and the Beast sawmill outdoor area getting refreshed I think a few tables out there would be good to have and seeing 3 levels same as this video would be nice!!
Great video! I do think I like it better though where it’s edited to go through each project start to finish vs jumping back and forth between them…. Easier to follow
I really love watching the "3 Level" episodes. In this case, I feel like I could do the most basic, aspire to the middle, and flat out lie to everyone about having done John's after buying it from him. Good stuff! It is what makes Sunday more than just the day before you start work all over again. Thanks.
Excuse me, sir.. But Jordan kicked your ass on that particular build off. Regardless, it's great to have the '3 Levels of' segment back. I always appreciate the variety of techniques and skillsets in one video.
Yay! Three levels has returned. Watched the video with my 8 year old this morning and now he wants to have a build off with me. Thanks for the content.
I love this series! As a woodworker I love seeing different inspirations for possible projects. I also think it would be cool to see one done with a boardgame table.
Think this is my first taste of 3 levels and the timing couldn’t come better, got a load of wood down the garage that I’m gonna be using next week. The detail on the pro level drawer is insane and definitely makes me want to get a table saw just to do that coping method. Love the vid
Yay! 3 levels is back!! I would love a more detailed video on the integrated handle technique. That's super cool and doesn't require any specialty tools!
Skill is all about how much effort one wants to put into learning and how creative and “out of the box” you can be. A first year craftsman can definitely achieve that level 3 piece of they wanted to.
I'm about 7 years into my woodworking hobby and I loved this video, seeing 3 ways to achieve the same goal was really cool and I learned alot! Please show me more!
Hey brother. Love all your videos but I’m glad your still putting build videos up. And I learned a couple cool tricks in this one. The miter cut and burying the miter into a sacrificial fence was very nice and will use that. Thanks brother!
All three of the builds look great. The beginner has a more sleek modern no frills look, which appeals to some people more than than the fancier ones. The mid level is only a little fancier and looks very nice too. The pro level has it's appeal with the type wood and design elements and looks nice. The drawer front sets it off nicely. If someone wanted to make a drawer front like that but didn't feel comfortable doing it the way it was done, you could cut narrow strips out of the same piece and glue and screw them to the front after beveling them to give a similar appearance. A good match up of the grain would make it appear to have been made from one solid piece of wood. I give all three of these a thumbs up.
Great to see the beginner to pro back great work Lou and Chris love all three love Johns walnut one but I love oak too. Can wait to see what you do next
Wow I really like this video. Love the “3 ways” series, and this trio was unexpected and - better. The video editing is so good too. I fee this this is a return to the content I fell in love with when I started watching this channel. 🤙🏻
Fantastic to see this series return! This series was awesome to watch when Jordan and Sam were around! The format of the new series seems really professional and was great to follow!
They all turned out great!! I wish you'd shown the side of Lou's table where the stain worked better though - I bet it looked fantastic! Would love to see a more in-depth look at your dovetails method and at how you made the drawer front on the walnut table too.
I’m from the Netherlands and I just completed my school and can call myself a beginning woodworker now. I’d be willing to come to America to work for you, everything you make is sooo awesome 🤩
Also glad to see three levels again it’s my favourite segment you guys do. While I thought you guys all had some great designs in respect to the levels but I’m a sucker for walnut
Glad to see the 3 level series back. I liked them all for different aspects. The draw front being cut on the table saw was killer. For your next build, I saw someone mention picnic tables or maybe a outdoor patio table of some sort.
Ok I am biased and have to take Chris this time since I taught him in high school. Awesome to see you doing amazing woodwork. Next build make high school classroom tables that can seat groups of 3 to 4 but can also be linked up to make groups of 6 to 8.
I love all 3 of them & would happily put any of them in my home! ETA, I love the walnuts look/colour, but prefer the design number 2 with the darker bottom & lighter drawer. But the simplicity of the first 1 is also really appealing to me too. Fab job guys ❤
love the built in handle gives it that carved look , seen a few projects using the table saw at the angle just haven't been brave enough to try it ....
The pro version is the absolute best but the amateur version is pretty good too. I love how you did the drawer front in the pro version and the color contrast with the amateur version is cool.
Great format, I liked seeing the three builds at the same time rather than one at a time. I like the three level build-offs, you should do more of them. The level 2 by Chris was my favorite, while the "Pro" build was nice and the would choice was great, I didn't care for the style. The beginner build was good, I liked it after it was finished and while the glue didn't accept the stain the color achieved was awesome.
Walnut,oak,pine in descending order. Nice work gentlemen. Details: Except for the glue blotches, nice staining on the pine and nice airy feel to the design. Oak: nice design and veneer work, excellent execution, but I’m not a fan of painted wood, maybe an couple coats of Java gel stain instead. Walnut: Everything! That drawer front is crazy good!

Yeah I likes the prior format a bit better of each build being its own section.
I definitely agree
@@The_Professor98 +1
I agree
Totally agree. I almost forgot there was a level 2 until the end!
The medium one is definitely my favourite! The 2 color tone suits so well! Love the 3 levels btw!
Yep. mine to
you have bad taste
Plus it has a bottom shelf!
Love seeing 3 levels coming back, although I did prefer the old structure where you go through each build in it's entirety then moved onto the next

Was just thinking that, I don’t know the guys so was trying to remember which was which
True, terrible editing.
@@jordantallmanpao4061 Oh, come on. There's the guy with the beard and cap, the guy with the... Oh, wait. 🤦🏻♂️
Same. Jumping around wasn’t the right retention choice, it’s not a Pulp Fiction. Had to stop 3 minutes in and just jump to the end.

Watch it Jon..... watch it
I second this!
@@John_Malecki all the pros agree his is better big john You know that means something 😂
Yay! Three levels has returned. Watched the video with my 8 year old this morning and now he wants to have a build off with me. Thanks for the content.
That’s awesome, happy building
Chris has my vote. Simple but classy and that contrast really pops 👌🏼
The way you made the drawer handle is so sick, I've never seen that before!
Glad to see this series back, the new guys are doing great at it.
I love this series! As a woodworker I love seeing different inspirations for possible projects. I also think it would be cool to see one done with a boardgame table.
I like the format where you do one level at a time. I get lost with the montage of them all at once.
The walnut table is gorgeous. That's my favorite. I love the extra dimension on the drawer.
Think this is my first taste of 3 levels and the timing couldn’t come better, got a load of wood down the garage that I’m gonna be using next week. The detail on the pro level drawer is insane and definitely makes me want to get a table saw just to do that coping method. Love the vid
That's probably the most efficient/repeatable dovetail construction I've seen short of using a dovetail jig. Fantastic video!
New format is superior to the old one. Nice job everyone.
Yay! 3 levels is back!! I would love a more detailed video on the integrated handle technique. That's super cool and doesn't require any specialty tools!
Do we have to pick one? All three are my favorite. Yeah, 'Three Levels' is fun. More please.
Skill is all about how much effort one wants to put into learning and how creative and “out of the box” you can be. A first year craftsman can definitely achieve that level 3 piece of they wanted to.
Glad you were able to bring this series back!
I'm a fan of level 2. I can imagine in the dark it'll look like a floating draw 👏
I'm about 7 years into my woodworking hobby and I loved this video, seeing 3 ways to achieve the same goal was really cool and I learned alot! Please show me more!
That walnut is siiick… great build guys
Hey brother. Love all your videos but I’m glad your still putting build videos up. And I learned a couple cool tricks in this one. The miter cut and burying the miter into a sacrificial fence was very nice and will use that. Thanks brother!
I'm with Chris on this one. I love the look.
the second one is my favourite, but the 3rd is beautiful and need a lot of skill. Good job !!!
All three of the builds look great. The beginner has a more sleek modern no frills look, which appeals to some people more than than the fancier ones. The mid level is only a little fancier and looks very nice too. The pro level has it's appeal with the type wood and design elements and looks nice. The drawer front sets it off nicely.

A good match up of the grain would make it appear to have been made from one solid piece of wood. I give all three of these a thumbs up.
That dovetail method is so great! A wonderful way for a beginner or intermediate woodworker to make perfect dovetails without a lot of difficulty!
I'm really liking #2. The 2-tone look really helps it stand out with the simpler design which I like.
man that walnut table was incredible, id love that in my house
John achieved art woodworking level. very beautiful work. I have never seen such table anywhere.
I really liked Level 2, looking at them all side by side, that is the one that I would put in my house.
LOVE the new format, I understand some people's confusion, but IMO it is great to see each component side by side.
My favorite was the Beginner level table. Really minimalist and cool
Honestly I like the newest guys the best.. John killed it and you too Lou.. maybe just a personal preference? Nice job new guy!
Chris… Chris is the newest guy.. nice job Chris
I love the look of the amateur!!
I love the 3 levels builds! Awesome to see them back.
Great to see the beginner to pro back great work Lou and Chris love all three love Johns walnut one but I love oak too. Can wait to see what you do next
Mind blown by the 45 degree gut with the buried blade in the fence. It's little tips like that that up my game.
Love the pro table. I think you could make a whole bedroom collection in that style. Maybe you should try it.
Love the integrated handle, the idea of cutting it on the table saw is sick 👏🏻👏🏻
These are videos are the best. Glad to see you doing the three step videos again! Great to get to know the new crew too. Killer job gents!!!
Love how this was edited-the back in forth felt friendily competitive, highlighting the different approaches!
Love the dovetail technique!! Hand tools is for suckers!
I think all of them look very good based upon materials chosen and cost. You guys rock!

Walnut the favourite, nice build
Your 3levels of, series are awesome. I'd like to see 3 levels of dining chairs. Keep up the cool vids
They all turned out great!! I wish you'd shown the side of Lou's table where the stain worked better though - I bet it looked fantastic! Would love to see a more in-depth look at your dovetails method and at how you made the drawer front on the walnut table too.
Yooo, John used some crazy techniques! I love how you cut the dovetails
I’m from the Netherlands and I just completed my school and can call myself a beginning woodworker now. I’d be willing to come to America to work for you, everything you make is sooo awesome 🤩
I`d LOVE to watch a colab between John and Jason from Bourbon Moth Woodworking. Seriously, think about it!
Nice job, folks! I like the Amateur version.
I tried the cove making on the table saw, but I never thought about tilting the blade. Thanks a lot.
Looks good.
Love this format, I'd say I'm a level-2 woodworker and maybe that's why Chris' end table is my favorite?
Love the amateur model, great contrast on the stains!
Excellent wood project. Enjoyed watching the builds, well done all.
Also glad to see three levels again it’s my favourite segment you guys do. While I thought you guys all had some great designs in respect to the levels but I’m a sucker for walnut
Fantastic work, guys! They turned out beautiful! 😃
Damn, I missed this series!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Glad to see the 3 level series back. I liked them all for different aspects. The draw front being cut on the table saw was killer. For your next build, I saw someone mention picnic tables or maybe a outdoor patio table of some sort.
Oh doing the Epicurious route, love it!
I love this concept of "3 levels of..." Great builds!
Beautiful work, congratulations
Watching here from Brazil
Level 2 table is also pretty neat!
Ok I am biased and have to take Chris this time since I taught him in high school. Awesome to see you doing amazing woodwork. Next build make high school classroom tables that can seat groups of 3 to 4 but can also be linked up to make groups of 6 to 8.
Love the 3 levels series. Glad to see it back.
I enjoyed the new format for the build off. I felt it helped keep the video more entertaining
I love all 3 of them & would happily put any of them in my home!
ETA, I love the walnuts look/colour, but prefer the design number 2 with the darker bottom & lighter drawer. But the simplicity of the first 1 is also really appealing to me too. Fab job guys ❤
The Medium one is my fave with the two tone. The pro one is nice because of the woodwork. The basic one looks....like a basic one :)
Love The black painted one. But John's is nice too.
love the built in handle gives it that carved look , seen a few projects using the table saw at the angle just haven't been brave enough to try it ....
The pro version is the absolute best but the amateur version is pretty good too. I love how you did the drawer front in the pro version and the color contrast with the amateur version is cool.
Level 2 was my fav! The Level 3 was pretty , but also very short!
lots of fun watching this. I vote for batchelor #2.
This is the content I'm here for! Please bring back the one board one sheet challenge, too.
Chris's came out great!
Great format, I liked seeing the three builds at the same time rather than one at a time. I like the three level build-offs, you should do more of them.

oh yay, a scam @JohnMalecki_ nice try!!
My vote goes to Chris, love the two tone!
Solid builds, boyos!
I think I like the middle one best. The way John connected the legs to the rest is pretty cool tho
They are all good. Each has a place and a niche.
I love the three levels vids and I love the new guys I think a three levels of bed frame video would be cool
That is a beautiful piece of wallnut
Loved the dovetail tutorial 👍
Thank you for giving me dovetails!
I love the 3 levels series.
Not sure if I have a favorite, they all look pretty good! Maybe I'll have to try my hand at an end table sometime!
I think they all came out awesome.
Excellent work by all 3 of y'all. 3 different serving trays would be great to see! Or 3 different Credenza's!
Lou dropping some wisdom. “It doesn’t have to be perfect it just has to look perfect”
I like them all. Congratulations 👍
Those are so different styles, hard to compare, all three looks good :) Maybe the level 2 matches my style the most
Love watching these videos. The pro level looks great however the contrast on the amateur is 🔥🔥
You've done a great work of art... Both of you.....
John killed the dove tails and drawer face and the legs! I guess that’s pretty much his whole table😂
Walnut,oak,pine in descending order. Nice work gentlemen. Details: Except for the glue blotches, nice staining on the pine and nice airy feel to the design. Oak: nice design and veneer work, excellent execution, but I’m not a fan of painted wood, maybe an couple coats of Java gel stain instead. Walnut: Everything! That drawer front is crazy good!
I'm going with your's John. Very cool! How about 3 levels of head boards!
