Thanks man! I like that quote
I don’t even like wood working, but somehow I was hooked for the whole ride. Props on a beautiful creation.
🙇♂️ ❤️
Nice to see someone doing skilled work with a fairly basic set of tools instead of putzing around with expensive gimmicks
I try!
Dude, I love it. Refreshing to see someone with limited equipment archive great work. So many videos of people with all the kit doing similar stuff.
Bravo sir, bravo.
🙇 thank you thank you!
Deano here from Napa Valley, CA USA. I love to watch another Lefty work. It still amazes me how us Lefties still have to adapt to right-handed tools.
hahah i never even think about it anymore! surprised you noticed. I actually talk about it in my next video!!
Amazing work! Great production, I assumed you had hundreds of thousands of subscribers with that level of production. Keep at it, you’re crushing it! All the best from sunny South Africa!
Thank you man I appreciate it!!
Great vid! Keep up the good work. I love the little quirky moments you add in
Thanks!
Very nicely done. Simple design done with elegance and skill. This video popped up in my feed and I’m glad I watched it. You make do with what you have. Do this and build from there. I’m a 30 year experienced cabinet and furniture maker and I know skill when I see it. You have skill young man and you can do good things with it
Wow! Thank you, I appreciate it! I hope to be doing this for 30 years!
Great job. Nice to see a normal guy with normal tools doing such nice work.
Thank you!!
Nicely done, both the project and the video. A master craftsman in the making. Awesome to see young folks in the craft. Bravo to you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful table brother keep killing it with these projects 👏👏
🙇♂️
Nicely Done! Table came out beautiful. Being Broke ain't easy, but wood working makes it better! 😅
Woodworking definitely makes it easier hahaha
That’s a fact Jack. 😂
Well done young sir!! Good to see young people picking up the craft, keep up the good work!
Thank you! I will try my best
Great video, very satisfying!
Well done. Like the mix of hand and electric tools
Thank you!
Just got another follower here! Just built my first table only a hand saw and a router from the 2000s haha
We love that!!
No lights on Late Night Woodworking!? Ha ha. Nice video man. You got a new subscriber.
I know 🤦🏻♂️ appreciate you!
I work out of a 40ft container and i thought i had a cramped work space haha this is an inspiration!
Hahah close!
great work. i like that you left holes as is. filling in where the splines are makes sense. the other holes add character...in my opinion.
Great job and great video
Great video. Nice editing. Makes me want to build furniture too.
A great piece and what’s more, and possibly even more relevant in this medium, your production skills are fantastic! From the wood glue/putty making camera angle, the audio clips, and even the planing angle with the wood shavings falling at you feet, you’ve made some compelling content! Got my “subscribe” 😎 Well done and keep living the dream to the best you’re able given the situation you’ve got 👊🏼💪🏼
Wow thank you for the kind words!
Nice job on making those splines the old fashioned way!
Thank you! 😊
Love the filming, commentary and general video. Keep grinding my guy
Thank you so much!!
Love it
Well done. Nicely put together video and project.
Thank ya thank ya
Absolutely super quality video mate, and 14k views in a week with only 279 subs? Criminal! I've added my sub, and excited for what you will make next.
Thank you!!! I had 12 subs before I posted this video lmao it was a nice Christmas gift from everyone! Appreciate it man!
I learned something interesting from an old timer. He said not to use sawdust and wood glue. The wood glue will not take any stain once it's hardened so if any peeks through the sawdust, it will be a blemish on the surface. Won't always happen, but when it does it could be a pain. He said wood fillers are different, they don't have wood glue in them. Nice work btw!
Thanks for the tip!
Great build!
Thank you! :)
Nice relaxing video.
Nice video. I made a similar table out of Walnut. Something I did to add strength was adding biscuits with a biscuit jointer prior to 45 degree glueup.
Yes! That’s another good way, I just don’t have a biscuit jointer.
Good ingenuity there freind. My garage wasn't a proper shop till the last 6 months! From lights, to floor, to cabinets, to tools. Been a 6 year long process! A little at a time.
Wow! Hope to get there one day!
Great build and great video keep em coming
I will! Thank you!
I have the exact same tablesaw I got it from the scrapyard it works flawlessly
That’s awesome
beautiful work!
Thank you!
Your bench turned out nice. Thanks for the video. Your presentation is very good.
The following is unsolicited “advice” and as such it’s probably worth exactly what I charge for it 😊
When using the ROS if you have it sitting flat on the workpiece before you turn it on there is less chance of creating visible swirls or gouges which are difficult to sand out.
If you cut an arch on the end pieces it creates 4 feet for the bench to sit on. This allows you to adjust the way it sits on a known flat surface by sanding a foot. It looks cool too.
Someone else mentioned the glue and sawdust filler, I don’t like it either. Medium or thick CA in the small cracks and sand it without the vacuum and it works better with clear finishes than glue/sawdust filler.
Keep up the good work, you are starting with better stuff than I did, plus the amount of knowledge and demonstrations of technique at our fingertips today did not exist in the 1970’s.
Well thank you for the unsolicited advice! I must say tho that it is actually a entry way table, not a bench 🤦🏻♂️ but the advice is appreciated nonetheless
That's a beautiful piece of wood and a gorgeous build. I think I would have split down the middle and done live edge though.
If it were for me I might have done the same thing!
love your using a Japanese pull saw... should have used those students to record you some B-roll... you gonna go far with this.. gonna build out a sweet woodworking "studio" with this channel... got some satisfying asmr, good broll, good presence, good information.. loved it
Wow thank you!! Hahaha I should have
That was super satisfying! Liked and subscribed!
Appreciate it!!
Great skills. Someone taught you well & you continued to refine your skills. Good design, understanding of how wood works & wonderful execution. Very smart preparing your new mortising chisel. Lots of folks skip this critical step. Many of us started in a one car garage. You are doing well working w/ what you have. The table looks great. Instead of filling unstable areas w/ epoxy, you could also use colored CA glue & accellerator. Minor editing point: maybe skip filming cleaning the floor.
Appreciate the kind words! I think some people enjoy watching the cleaning!
Loved this dude. I just wanted to say, I’m not sure what glue you used on the mitors and the splines work, but for mitor glue ups it’s best to use a epoxy. It’ll saturate the end grain fibers and bond better then titebond would. Still need splines or biscuits. Or finger jointed spline mitors. Anyways just wanted to put that out there. Maybe will help in the future! Anyways beautiful work
Noted! Thank you!!
Loved the video work. Great fun. Please juice the final shots for more. Give them way more time so people can stare at it for a bit. Show it off.
Will do!!
Excellent work
Thank you!
I have the 4 ft LED lights from Harbor Freight. They are great for dark 30 time.
NICE WORK! I hope you the best fella :D
❤️
Love the doppelganger at 22:50
glad your channel popped up in my feed. great content and editing. i also work out of my garage with somewhat limited tools so i can relate. keep up the good work!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! Working out of the garage can be a struggle sometimes, but it’s definitely better than nothing!!
@@LateNightWoodworking Yessir! keep grinding!
I don’t make anything near as nice as this but your process is so relatable..
Give yourself some credit!
@@LateNightWoodworking I do! I impress myself with the mitres I cut with a circular saw
There you go! 😂
good job from slab to furniture
Thank you!
That’s a shame, you need more subscribers. I subscribed although I already have way too many 😅. Keep it up
In time hopefully!
Nice work, I'm in the same boat working out of a garage barely big enough to fit a prius. Just a small tip regarding your use of the pull saw... you paid for all the teeth so you might as well use them with full strokes.
Haha I know I know! It takes practice to be able to use the pull saw correctly!
Nice work
For video quality i suggest running through somw basic color balance to get the shots looking better, and buy high cri bulbs for the shop (costco has good ones).
Bought a studio light!
Very nice work! Subscribed!
Thank you!
Just FYI you could have put dowels to add the strength for the joints. Usually when I put splines in I use a contrasting wood. It was still a nice piece when you were done
Thanks for the tip!
You can use daisy chained led light plugged into a single outlet. I have 6 3/4’ leds and it’s as bright as a classroom.
You’ll like my next vid! 😉
Just stumbled onto your video here. You're doing what I hope to do more of. I'm age 22 and did gymnastics for 14 years. From age 15 I needed to make money to pay for gymnastics academy fees as adoptive parents divorced when I was 10 and money hard to find. I love working with my hands (gymnastically speaking) but also like hard work. I found a job at a property management company and did a lot of cleaning up but also a lot of fixing furniture that was busted. That got me doing refinishing and making some new parts to blend into old ones. I got better at this but my job was hit or miss on what I did. For all sorts of reasons (including getting severely beat up at age 16 that changed my training goals) I left gymnastics at age 18 and pandemic hit my freshman year of college. I got work at Menards to pay for apt and loved working in their building materials department and especially in the yard. I started meeting guys in construction who liked me helping them find materials and load trucks. From there I got job offer for construction company. I've learned a lot about framing and drywalling. Some guys are also into woodworking and I've helped them on some jobs especially muscling heavy pieces around. I loved watching your simple project in your garage using minimal tools. Something about that is refreshing. My first thought about the waterfall edge was to use the Domino but then I liked your simplicity. I hope one day to be in a space of my own where I can do more woodworking and also have my own home gym. In high school I built some workout equipment from leftover wood at school which got a lot of great use. But my eye was still on making furniture that is more than utilitarian. Have a great 2024 and keep making furniture.
Wow you’ve got quite the story for only being 22! It’s great that you’ve been in so many different environments and worked with so many different people, I think a large exposure to all sorts of things is really good for you! And thank you I hope to be making some cool things next year!
@@LateNightWoodworking I was born in Ukraine and put in adoption and in gymnastics by age 4. I was later adopted by an older American family and raised in rural USA. After my adoptive parents divorced when I was age 10 my mom had many issues including financial. I was more or less raising myself by age 13. Making money to stay in gymnastics was top on my list. Gymnastics saved my life mentally I think. At school I was bullied for being a boy in gymnastics (they called it a sissy sport) and for talking funny English (Ukrainian accent). I didn't notice any working classes at school. Gymnastics was my life and I loved training hard all the time. But the night I got beat up changed everything for me. I was all alone at school on a very hot summer night doing a bar workout. Some older school athletes drove by and saw me. They put me in a full nelson and took turns punching the hell out of my abs built for gymnastics. But I took their punches really well but over 30 minutes of taking punches they left me very badly beaten. Within a week I went to the summer school weight room to start adding a lot of muscle and especially my legs (gymnasts don't like big heavy legs). I met some wrestlers who already heard about a gymnast who could take punches and they decided I needed great friends. They taught me to lift weights for hypertrophy. But that got into some bad habits of training to take hard punches. Not a good thing with wrestlers eager to train me. In the back of my mind though was really enjoying working with a company that maintained their properties (crappy houses but needing a lot of fixing up). I really enjoyed woodworking and the smell of wood. Working at Menards was fun as it was during pandemic and people doing a lot of DIY projects. I started meeting guys in construction who told me they looked forward to me helping them with their lumber purchases. They showed me what they did at some projects and I got into full time construction work. I feel gymnastics was maybe beat out of me (was to be my ticket to college). But I'm really enjoying working in construction and hope to someday have my own space to do work working. I've been helping some finish carpenters and find they are very clever guys. I hope we both have a great 2024.
I hope we do too! Cheers to 2024!
@@LateNightWoodworking Do you have a personal and a business goal for 2024 you hope to achieve? I'm not into New Year's resolutions. But I have been thinking about goals moving forward.
@@anthonywilson1754 I'm not into making resolutions either but I do write down my goals for the year! I hope to make my first dollar on youtube this year haha
Harbourfrieght has LED 4' lights invest in them and it well help out large ... you just get by on the one outlet no problem
I will definitely look into it
Nice work!
Thank you!
Replace your single shop light with a Corn Style LED bulb (around $20) I have 2 for my shop of similar size and it looks like daytime inside.
I’ll look into it!!
great job, kiddo
Thank you! :)
Absolutely amazing work! Woodworking and video wise. Normally I like videos with the voice overs but for some reason i really enjoyed yours with the combination.
One question what did you do to the chisel handle. Just starting woodworking and i was wondering why its done.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks!! From my understanding, when you buy Japanese chisels, they come with a little preparation work before they are really ready for use. You have to “set the ring” and that is removing it, compressing the wood fibers with a round ended hammer. Once the fibers are compressed, the ring can go far enough down the handle for it to be set. Then you soak the end of the handle and slowly tap it until the wood fibers mushroom out. That way the ring is locked in place and the wood handle is protected from splitting. And I believe they don’t do this themselves so that you have a part in the process of making the chisel and they are truly your own!
Thanks alot for the clear explanation 👌🏼
of course!@@Favos96
Good Stuff
My God, with the cutoffs alone you can make another table if you scrape off the bark, turn them wavy-edge side in, and pour epoxy inbetween... now THAT would make for a great looking waterfall edge table...
That would be awesome! But I already used the cutoffs for shelves!!
Looks great, instead of the wooden inlays you did, some nice brass ones or even some poured black epoxy inlays to go with black epoxy in those holes would have tied the piece together nicely. Looks lovely as it is but there’s loads of nice things you can do to side tables like this to make them unique but super simple.
Very true! I love brass inlays
Great video, what chisels are you buying in each vid..??
I’ll add a link in the description of the cideo
How does the sander vacuum pick up all the sawdust without holes in the hook and loop pads?
It’s a mesh!
good job, the inserts are called splines
noted. Thank you haha
Very nice. I'm confused though, if you're going to cut so much off of it why are you not just buying a piece of lumber?
Great question! I wanted the grain to have a waterfall effect! Also the slab was given to me by the person I was making the table for
@@LateNightWoodworking oh I see! That definitely makes sense ☺️
Liked the video and subscribed to your channel. I'm thinking of starting my own UA-cam cannel. It's going to be a bit until I do, though. Keep building away!
Good luck to you!!
Instead of the wood glue and sawdust try filling with sawdust and then superglue. It just finishes nicer.
I’ll try that!
Subscribed just for the Taco
The taco?
@@LateNightWoodworking the Tacoma, I've got a 2020 TRD Off Road
Oh duhhhh haha nice!
What type of chisels are you using. Do you have links for those?
I can give a link to the one I unboxed, but the other ones are my brother in laws and he bought them while he was in Japan!
hidatool.com/item/2750
@@LateNightWoodworking yes can you send a link
I commented the link, did you see it?
I use the tablesaw to cut splines. Way easier.
Yes someone told me that after I finished it all lol sounds so much easier, but it is fun using hand tools
Not taking away from the skills at all but people are acting like your using tools from a thrift store haha they obviously have never checked out the woodpecker tracksaw square .... Which is sick by the way ! Super jealous.
Hahah a couple tools were purchased from Craigslist! But I do like what I have so far! The track saw square was actually gifted to me from a peer/friend of mine!
@@LateNightWoodworking sick! Now I feel bad and would like to rescind my haterish comment from before and apologize. I bought their combination squares for like $8000 and they are totally worth it. I'm sure the track square is too
I didn’t take any offense to it, you’re good! My goodness that a lot of money for squares!! Lmao
I agree with many on here with regards to your production. well done mate. Obviously things are going in the right direction. one thing you may want to avoid would be putting labels such as 'High-end" in the video description. not that its not a 'Nice' build, its just not high-end. when you take the definition of 'High-end" into consideration, you'll see.
Keep it all up though andI'm sure you will be building 'High-end'
A highly appreciated comment! Sorry to disappoint with the title in relation to the product!
@@LateNightWoodworking please don't feel I was disappointed with the product, as I did like the final outcome. It just didn't tick the boxes for high-end.

Punch some holes in those sand discs for dust and heat!
That one is a mesh so I don’t need to!
@@LateNightWoodworking oh, sorry, it appeared to be plane, gj, keep it up!
No worries! :) thanks
Holy shit 17:43 is satisfying af
Hahaha a clean stroke
8:50 Umm… did I hear a grown man say, “Ouchee”?😳
Okay, all kidding aside, I am wondering about the strength of those legs without a stretcher or apron? I do like your project. Looks like you pushed your tools to the limit.
You may have 😂
At 9:21. Can someone explain how those clamps are doing anything to put clamping pressure on the glue joint?
I used the cutoffs of the 45deg cut to allow me to clamp perpendicular to the glue joint. Kinda hard to explain, I should have shown it better
I figured it was as a guide for sawing the spline
@@LateNightWoodworking but there is no clamps applying any pressure to the joint at 9:21...
@@theman6910 I'm sorry i didnt look at the time stamp... tate is right, all i was doing was using those cutoffs to line up the depth on each side for the sawing
Hahah nothing lol
So where is this “ high-end “ furniture? Didn’t notice.
Oof! My first negative comment in 55k views! How does it feel?
it is not negative, it's objective. this is certainly not a high end furniture.it's a simple bench. if you call it high end it only means that have not seen high end furniture yet. kobeomsuk furniture, timberwolf design - if you would like to see high end furniture.@@LateNightWoodworking
Definitely a negative way to say it, but don’t worry I’m not offended. Clearly you didn’t pay attention enough to know it’s not a bench but a table (or it’s so bad that you couldn’t tell). But either way high-end furniture is furniture that’s customized to fit someone’s need while using high end materials and taking extensive time and care in making the product. I’d say I checked all those boxes. ;)
Make with Miles probably really appreciates your thumbnail of your vid…..
I’m sure he does! 😏
Better do a silent video
Maybe I will!
@@LateNightWoodworking looks professional and don't need to explain... it's the art of your work...
Any inquiries people will asked for it making interaction with the viewers more productive and friendly 👍👍👍 by the way nice job.....
Thank you! I definitely want to do some videos where it’s just woodworking and no talking, but I also like to throw a little personality in there too! :)
Nothing to crazy
