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).
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
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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. 🤙🏻
I think my favorite would have to be the second one for the two tone effect, but the third one for the intricatcy of it. Maybe next, you guys should try different takes on a china cabinet type thing.
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.
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 🤩
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.
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 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 ❤
Cutting into the sacrificial fence is how I do all of my bevels on the table saw. If you leave an air gap below the fence, your off cut will drop right down with zero risk of shooting back at you. I’ll typically set my fence about 1/8” lower than my material thickness. For example, you were cutting walnut that was milled to 1” so my sacrificial fence would float 7/8” off the table saw surface.

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!

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!
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
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. 🤦🏻♂️
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

That’s awesome, happy building
Chris has my vote. Simple but classy and that contrast really pops 👌🏼

Watch it Jon..... watch it
I second this!
@@John_Malecki all the pros agree his is better big john You know that means something 😂
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.
My 4 year old daughter walked past me during the end/b-roll and said John's was beautiful. Had to replay it so she could watch it again.
That walnut is siiick… great build guys

That's probably the most efficient/repeatable dovetail construction I've seen short of using a dovetail jig. Fantastic video!
I like the format where you do one level at a time. I get lost with the montage of them all at once.
the second one is my favourite, but the 3rd is beautiful and need a lot of skill. Good job !!!
New format is superior to the old one. Nice job everyone.
man that walnut table was incredible, id love that in my house
I love the look of the amateur!!
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
That drawer face is clean 👌
That is a beautiful piece of wallnut
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!
Chris's came out great!
lots of fun watching this. I vote for batchelor #2.
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.
They are all good. Each has a place and a niche.
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 :)
Glad you were able to bring this series back!
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.

Definitely the middle one, hands down
Love the pro table. I think you could make a whole bedroom collection in that style. Maybe you should try it.
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 black one is my favorite
Love the 3 levels
I really liked Level 2, looking at them all side by side, that is the one that I would put in my house.
I love the three levels vids and I love the new guys I think a three levels of bed frame video would be cool
For some reason the middle one always looks the best in these series.
Mind blown by the 45 degree gut with the buried blade in the fence. It's little tips like that that up my game.
Loved the dovetail tutorial 👍
My favorite was the Beginner level table. Really minimalist and cool
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 think they all came out awesome.
Love the integrated handle, the idea of cutting it on the table saw is sick 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm really liking #2. The 2-tone look really helps it stand out with the simpler design which I like.
I'm with Chris on this one. I love the look.
I love the 3 levels builds! Awesome to see them back.
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.
John killed the dove tails and drawer face and the legs! I guess that’s pretty much his whole table😂
Dude, I love when you build stuff!
That dovetail method is so great! A wonderful way for a beginner or intermediate woodworker to make perfect dovetails without a lot of difficulty!
Love how this was edited-the back in forth felt friendily competitive, highlighting the different approaches!
Fantastic work, guys! They turned out beautiful! 😃
Damn, I missed this series!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
would love to see a reaction to you all showing each other your builds!
I love how last video he said you don't need a spindle sander and then uses one this video. 😁
The beginner could've been slightly better if a prestain conditioner was used before the stain as pine doesn't really take up stain all that evenly.
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 think a budget build off with the budget including tools and materials would be cool and do whatever budget you think would be reasonable
Great to these kind of videos again.
All looks great!!!!!
Love the pro build
Do we have to pick one? All three are my favorite. Yeah, 'Three Levels' is fun. More please.
John achieved art woodworking level. very beautiful work. I have never seen such table anywhere.
I like Chris's table the best. Like the two tone and the height better than John's
Solid builds, boyos!
Love the dovetail technique!! Hand tools is for suckers!
I like them all. Congratulations 👍
LOVE the new format, I understand some people's confusion, but IMO it is great to see each component side by side.
I think all of them look very good based upon materials chosen and cost. You guys rock!
Chris' is definately more my style.
Pro for the win
Love the amateur model, great contrast on the stains!
Liked this one.

I think I like the middle one best. The way John connected the legs to the rest is pretty cool tho
I tried the cove making on the table saw, but I never thought about tilting the blade. Thanks a lot.
Looks good.
Good video . I did like the three levels.
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 🤩
Love the 3 levels series. Glad to see it back.
John’s is my favorite ❤
Thank you for giving me dovetails!
Love The black painted one. But John's is nice too.
Level 2 was my fav! The Level 3 was pretty , but also very short!

best advice I've ever got 15:53
I love this concept of "3 levels of..." Great builds!
Love this format, I'd say I'm a level-2 woodworker and maybe that's why Chris' end table is my favorite?
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 ❤
glad 3 levels is back.
next episode DRAFTING TABLES.
Your 3levels of, series are awesome. I'd like to see 3 levels of dining chairs. Keep up the cool vids
Like the series, liked it even better when you did each build on its own.
Try biilding a console table oe even a bathroom vanity.
Cutting into the sacrificial fence is how I do all of my bevels on the table saw. If you leave an air gap below the fence, your off cut will drop right down with zero risk of shooting back at you. I’ll typically set my fence about 1/8” lower than my material thickness. For example, you were cutting walnut that was milled to 1” so my sacrificial fence would float 7/8” off the table saw surface.
This is the content I'm here for! Please bring back the one board one sheet challenge, too.
Honestly I like the amateur level end table the most then the pro level.
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!!!
