Incredible. I am often really impressed with your work but this is beyond everything I've seen before. Beautiful. The customer picked the right guy for the job. 👍
Absolutely stunning piece. It has to be tough having to build that half of the top a second time, wood will just do what it wants sometimes. It always makes me smile hearing Lee Valley mentioned in faraway places. They are a great Canadian company. I have quite a few of their tools, and I am rarely disappointed.
I've enjoyed (and learned from) all your builds Joey. This one has pushed you into a whole new level. Just an excellent series. I hope the ambassador is as pleased as any of us mere mortals would be lol.
Great job Joey, its always butt puckering when when the wood gets wacky but the truth is it can usually be traced back to something in the stock prep or material selection it usually happens to me on doors (of course). Flat sawn is especially tricky as you know. Regardless thanks for sharing and may the grain be with you.
This was a really interesting build to watch, i really enjoyed it. Those extension slides/runners worked a treat. Pity that first half of the top bowed like it did. Guess that is what happens from time to time with these hardwoods. Also congrats on getting your local timber supplier as a sponsor, this must be a huge help.
@@KingPostTimberWorks Man that's upsetting, well I hope things get better and they can get back to sponsoring you. From what I hear in the news New Zealand seems to have some form of control at the moment. We still expecting the peak here in South Africa.
An amazing project to follow Joey. I love the diversity that you have in projects. It shows people that we as woodworkers can do anything we put our minds and talent to 🎉🎉🥂👍😊
Absolutely lovely job man! Nice to see there's still a place for some mahogany in today's 'let's conserve everything' world. Not even sure we can get that in the UK!
Congratulations and thank you for this awesome series of videos. Its a joy to watch how you overcame all the difficulties of this marvellous piece of art and craftmanship. And finally that satisfying assembly at 15:09. Showing the details of the connections is an excellent lesson, were we ever able to try a remotely similar project. Also impressed by the quality of the non visible solid oak sliders. Was wondering about the router bit you used at part2 in 3:53. Looking forward to the next video of the final installation!
Hey Joey one option on that warped top is route a series of grooves on the bottom, overflex just a bit and fill grooves with epoxy. Lots of times the warp also the result of unequal air flow, but you already know that. Appreciate you posting this!
You should be delighted - well done! Highlights the difference between what most of us end up doing (casework) vs furniture (which we all secretly hope for big commissions to do). You got one and did it justice... best, Mike
Super build, after all that figuring and stressing . . . now you should get commissions for at least ten, now that you have the system perfected. Cheers.
A old ship builders trick to take that bow out, Is clamp it down flat and pouring boiling water over the bowed area , leave clamped for a few days to it dries out and the bow shoud come out and hold that way.
On my school machinery gets all the attention, obviously. But quiet often hand tools are the better option. For example fitting jobs, finishing, flushing, ect. Hand tools are most of the time avoided by the other students
This happened to me when I applied finish to the top side only and left it on a table for a while. The bottom side absorbed more moisture than the top and bowed away from the table. Managed to fix it by turning it the other way and leaving the unfinished side up to breathe better. Flattened almost completely after a while. Maybe that was the case for you too. Cheers
Agree with others that this is one awesome table. I might have tried to make the connections between the leaves (extensions) more uniform (both in pin layout and edge thickness) to allow the client to use 1, 2, 3 or all 4 leaves as needed for the occasion.
Exceptional work thinking through this one. It's a beautiful piece. I have never had the pleasure of building as nice a table as this. It is reminiscent of a colonial era piece of furniture which in my opinion was one of the best era's of craft.
I once left a sheet of birch ply on trestles over a lawn to dry. The moisture rising from the ground, due to the sunny day, caused the sheet to warp. Knowing this I’ve successfully straightened a sheet of ply in the same way! I wonder, if you stripped the finish off the warped table top, that this might have worked for you. Not claiming it would, but maybe! Awesome table.
Really really really stunning. I can never get enough of your videos and craftsmanship. Was that a polyurethane glue used to laminate the curved skirts?
Beautiful build, really great to see. What do you call the brass catches that you use between the sections? I've been looking for something that nice for a while
Congratulations it looks absolutely stunning. The next one will be easy! The only thing that seemed a little strange to me was using those tiny brass pins for alignment. Why not have nice looking timber tenons and use the domino to cut the mortises with custom made tenons in mahogany? Cheers, David
Hello Joey, fantastic job. Initially I was surprised to see you use Gorilla glue for the bent lamination, I have use PVA in similar circumstances but got thinking. Does the greater rigidity/brittleness of the polyurethane glue help with the rigidity of the completed lamination?
Incredible. I am often really impressed with your work but this is beyond everything I've seen before. Beautiful. The customer picked the right guy for the job.

No Words mate 😍. Definitely your most complicated build to date . Shame about the top going pear shaped. And worth a Kings ransom
True craftsmanship! Brilliant 3 part series. The owners are lucky to have this incredible furniture piece

Cheers, this was a fun job. The sponsor thing was put on hold due to covid , and I guess an uncertain cash flow. But might start again.

Incredible work Joey, the extension leg’s design is awesome with the magnet holds and especially the adjustability nice touch!! Take Care
The best piece I’ve seen you build. Well done, sir.
So impressive, great to see such an in depth build.
Well done Joey,
I've learned a lot from this build. Thanks again.
Beautiful piece of work - thanks for sharing and inspiring!
awesome work on all joinery. beautiful table
Such a great build. It is amazing how much wood transitions with just a coat of vanish.
Great series of videos Joey. Magnets are a nice touch. The extension mech is really neat. Well done all round. Can tell your really happy with it.
Love the design. Overall great project. You nailed it. Thanks for sharing your talents.
the mechanics you used as far as extending it is brilliant. very well done
That is a really nice piece of furniture very well built and really thought through in design. A big well done Joey.
Beautiful work - good job Batman
What a spectacular build, Joey.
They picked the right guy for the job, Joey. Masterful.
Beautiful piece of furniture!
Gorgeous table mate just another brilliant project checked off the list...
Absolutely epic work, mate 👍🏽
Astonishing craftsmanship 👌🏽
Great Job Joey. Hope the Ambassador appreciates your work as much as I do.
Absolutely lovely job man! Nice to see there's still a place for some mahogany in today's 'let's conserve everything' world. Not even sure we can get that in the UK!

Very nice piece; thanks for explaining your process so well.
That's a great build. Great video series.
This was a stunning project! Thank you for sharing this amazing job.
Thanks
A great piece of work to be proud of, thanks for sharing it with us.
Exquisite craftsmanship Joey, I'm in awe!
The sapwood on the tip of the replaced top half detracts from the overall excellent build.
Beautifully done. All solid wood. That must be one heavy table.

Nice work Joey
That's a significant piece of New Zealand furniture
I hope it gets the recognition it deserves
Chris
Top 5 build great work very intricate and detailed

Высший уровень и отличный формат!
Something to be really proud about !
Fantastic build my friend. Loved watching the process. Clever design on the drop down leg too, by the way.
Thanks
Really beautiful work Joey.
Awesome stuff. Someone is going to be very happy with that!
Beautiful work!!
Great piece Joey
Incredible work!
That is beautiful! You have a fan in Arizona USA.
Crazy cool table!!!!
My. God. That is awesome! Very inspiring
Amazing table Joey.
Great job Joey, as usual.
Amazing! looks awesome.
joey you always do such a great job, but this one takes the cake. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!
Thanks
Very nice! You should be really proud of yourself!
You should be delighted - well done! Highlights the difference between what most of us end up doing (casework) vs furniture (which we all secretly hope for big commissions to do). You got one and did it justice... best, Mike
Cheers, ha yes every now and then you get a really good job. Next 3 jobs .... case work.
Super build, after all that figuring and stressing . . . now you should get commissions for at least ten, now that you have the system perfected. Cheers.
That would be nice!
Well done you hit it out of the park
Joey, this is literally a masterpiece.
Thank you!
Beautiful work 👍😍👌
Exquisite, an heirloom of the future.
Amazing work 😍😍😍
Difficult says the guy who made a wooden bathtub lol. Excellent and beautiful work as always
That is one lovely table.
A old ship builders trick to take that bow out, Is clamp it down flat and pouring boiling water over the bowed area , leave clamped for a few days to it dries out and the bow shoud come out and hold that way.
Probably would have tried that if it wasn't sealed on both sides.....
Yes. Rather nice table.
Fantastic work Joey, I bet it wasn't a cheap commission but worth every penny. Only wish you had time to post more videos.
Wow Joey you've really outdone yourself. Amazing work. What model of sprayer did you use for the finish?
Cheers, it's a Graco ultra.
Well done, really like the slides. I saw you are using Robertson screws, Canada says “You are welcome.”
Yup , NZ has been all square drive for like 10 years plus
Realy an amazing work! I like this very much. But a little bit I wonder why don't you pickling the excerpt mechanics in the color of the table.
I'm glad you realalise that a handplane is an option
I have always used hand planes....
On my school machinery gets all the attention, obviously. But quiet often hand tools are the better option. For example fitting jobs, finishing, flushing, ect. Hand tools are most of the time avoided by the other students
This happened to me when I applied finish to the top side only and left it on a table for a while. The bottom side absorbed more moisture than the top and bowed away from the table. Managed to fix it by turning it the other way and leaving the unfinished side up to breathe better. Flattened almost completely after a while. Maybe that was the case for you too. Cheers

Wowwwww a great Job.
Awesome job Joey a very difficult job turned out Awesome again lol
Awesome carpenter 👍👍
Agree with others that this is one awesome table. I might have tried to make the connections between the leaves (extensions) more uniform (both in pin layout and edge thickness) to allow the client to use 1, 2, 3 or all 4 leaves as needed for the occasion.
They can do that . It just looks better if the use 1 then 2 then 3 then 4
I agree that the short form looks much better and balanced which is often the case with extension tables. The extensions are purely for versatility. 👍
Good job nics video
Great looking table. What did you use for clear coat ?
Hey Joey - great work (as always
Hmmm smart!
Thst's awsome, well done
Awesome. Congrats on breaking 200k subbies

Travail d'exception. Félicitations
Superb!
Beautiful table! With the section that bowed was the board cup grains opposing or the same?

Awesome table.
Did you ever video your completion of your home. If I missed it. Can go back and find it. The table is awesome.
Really really really stunning. I can never get enough of your videos and craftsmanship. Was that a polyurethane glue used to laminate the curved skirts?
Just a suggestion; that oval kingpost logo on your jacket would look great on a baseball cap- velcro in the back for adjustment.
super nice Joey.
Amazing!! 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful build, really great to see.
What do you call the brass catches that you use between the sections?
I've been looking for something that nice for a while
They are table pins. I got these ones from rockler for like $10
DAMN fine job.
Idea: How about some sort of leaf storage solution that would store and protect.
Cheers, client specifically said they had storage for the leaves so need to accommodate
Very nice.
Awesome
Congratulations it looks absolutely stunning. The next one will be easy! The only thing that seemed a little strange to me was using those tiny brass pins for alignment. Why not have nice looking timber tenons and use the domino to cut the mortises with custom made tenons in mahogany? Cheers, David
I did think that, but wanted to bring a little more brass into the table to go with the feet. Cheers David
Hello Joey, fantastic job. Initially I was surprised to see you use Gorilla glue for the bent lamination, I have use PVA in similar circumstances but got thinking. Does the greater rigidity/brittleness of the polyurethane glue help with the rigidity of the completed lamination?
I find the polyurethane glue has a stronger bond than pva. I think pva would have worked too. Just covering my bases really
Nice work Joey, how about a wakeboard from the bowed top?
Ah ha , yes good idea !
