Some people may see your project as easy. However, I think you did a great job, and I learned a great deal. I typically do smaller projects and router carving. I always wondered how patterns were made and inserted into projects like yours. Great job!!! I sub'd and will watch your collection of videos.
Great looking table! I really like the glossy look on the table! I use it on almost every project I do for our own home. Not so much on commission projects but I can see that is changing too... More and more prefer that.
Great Build and Video, the Coffee Table looks great. Thanks for putting my name on the screen concerning my tip about the Glubot Holder, even though i saw you not doing it during the leg attachment piece for a while. TC, Barry (ENG)
When I was editing the video I noticed that. I almost put another comment on the screen there to do it. I just need to make it a habit. I have been trying to force myself to do it every time I use it. Thanks for commenting as always.
You're welcome dude! I have a dream: to become a skillful carpenter! But I confess that I have much to learn. The tools here in Brazil are very expensive, it is not as cheap as it is for you Americans. Here many carpenters improvise too much, to reach a goal. There in your country, there are many tools for every purpose.
Yes we have tons of tools and tons of options. I am not familiar with the Brazilian culture to offer any advice. Here we also have Amazon that will ship directly to you in 2 days. Online purchasing might be an option.
At this point we find very high customs rates! For you to get an idea of what I'm talking about as Brazil is the only country in the world that does not let you work with good tools because of the high rates: Milwaukee 2861-20 M18 FUEL Mid-Torque 1/2 "Friction Ring Impact Wrench Tool Kit, cost US $ 253.98, Cost Brazil: $ 1,100.00 An absurdity for you Americans and an atomic bomb for us poor Brazilians.
Sure, I would love to see it. Do you have Instagram? Tag me or send me the pictures on there. That is about the easiest way to do it. I also have twitter.
Guys I found a very good website about woodworking that is *TopFineWoodworking. Com* this website contains more then 16000 woodworking plans. Recommended
This is my first project since high school 12 years ago I miss the wood working world. But I do need a new coffee table and I like your design. Just a few things to as. I don't have a nail gun so would using screws to drill in be ok? And what is the width of the plywood? Thanks for the video it has motivated me to get back into wood working not to just build but because I like it to be a hobby of mine.
I think the width of the plywood came out to around 20 inches or somewhere close to that. It really isn't that important for the project. I would make it oversized and trim down when you get finished. As far as using screws, I would say you can. You will definitely have to drill pilot holes for all of them to keep it from cracking. You will also need lots of wood putty or dowels to cap the screws, unless your drill from the bottom, which would be a challenge. If you are building it for yourself, try a few scrap pieces first and see how it looks and then decide what works best for you.
Honestly, I just went in the shop with a picture of what my sister in law wanted and made it up as I went along. All the angles are cut at either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. As you saw in the video, I started with the middle pattern and once it was in place i put everything in around it.
You will need to first find the center of your coffee table from front to back and left to right. That will be your starting point. The inlay has lengths of the following: 8.5" 16.5" 24.5" That is from long point (or side) to long point (or side). You will need to find the center of each of these boards and line it up with your center marks. I show that part pretty good in the video. Once you get the first board down, it is as simple as just filling int the rest of the pieces where they go.
Yes these are all either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. As you can see in the video, once you get the center section filled in, the rest fits together like a puzzle.
awesome table, great inlay look. I assume that you can see the brad nails on the top. if you had brad nailed the pieces from the bottom, the nails would be hidden. looking forward to your next video :>)
To nail from the bottom is a lot more work. I do a compromise and burnish my nail heads with a flame...it darkens them to it blends real well with the wood.
what size boards did you originally start out with before you shredded them? Going to try and make this same design for a table im building in AG. Good video!
I think those came out to about 2" wide. What I did to get to the width, was I knew how wide and long she wanted the table, and I knew how many "rows" of boards I wanted. So I just divided the width by the number of boards and got as close as I could to that on my table saw. If you have instagram or twitter I would like to see your finished project. Tag me in it!!
The nails don't look to bad on the table. You really only notice them if you are looking for them. But I do agree, the way to make it look best would be to just glue it to the plywood. Thanks for watching.
When I built this I didn't worry about shrinkage or expanding. I was looking at this table a couple weeks ago and It still looks good. I don't know if it is because it has stayed in the same area since it was built, but over 2 years later and it still looks good, minus a few scratches from use. I am not saying you won't have those issues, but so far I have not had those issues.

Nice looking table, that pattern is a wow. It's been a year now since you built this project have you had any of pieces come loose from where you glued them down on that stained surface? God Bless my friend. By the way, I did subscribe. Are you in the states?
I had to check with my brother and his wife, and they said they have had nothing come loose so far. They said it still looks great. I haven't seen it in a while since I gave it to them once i finished. I am located in Texas (so yes in the states). I live pretty much in the center of Texas. Thanks for subscribing and God Bless you too!!
All of the cuts are 45s or 90s. Then, of course I cute the excess off on the table saw and with the circular saw. Good luck, I hope that it turns out great. I would love to see pics of yours.
brandon watkins no you don’t really notice them at all. Especially if you gently dab some stain into them. Several costs of finish will fill them in where you really have to look for them to notice them. But yes if you look close enough you will see them.
If you can find a way to make them stay in place without the brad nails, then no it isn't necessary. I used the brad nails to help keep the boards from wondering while they were drying.
I felt it was the best way to do it, and since they are 18 ga brad nails, they don't really show up unless your looking for them. The stain really covers them up. Thanks, I love this table too. It was hard for me to give away.
My Next Project I learned a trick for filling cracks and holes back in high school lol the 70s wood glue and wood shavings you probably already know this but thanks for getting back to me 😬👍
This that would have been a great way to do this. And I considered trying it on this project, but since it has 2 different color stains, I wasn't sure how it would look and wanted to make sure I didn't mess up the top trying something new. I plan to do a trial sometime to see how it turns out. Thanks for watching and especially for the comments. Always fun to interact with the viewers.
This woodworking book is really detailed, t.co/oLg9l5gL3F ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
From long point to long point, here are the 3 lengths: 8.5" 16.5" 24.5" The entire coffee table is 41.25" x 21.75". All of the boards used on this coffee table are 1.5" wide and .75" thick.
Some people may see your project as easy. However, I think you did a great job, and I learned a great deal. I typically do smaller projects and router carving.

Awesome. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for the table! It has been the perfect addition to our home and we could not be happier with the finished product!
Awesome. I am glad you like it.....it did turn out pretty nice if i say so. :)
Great looking table! I really like the glossy look on the table! I use it on almost every project I do for our own home. Not so much on commission projects but I can see that is changing too... More and more prefer that.
I didn't think I would like using it at first, but the more I have used it the more and more I really like it. To me it makes the projects "POP".
I agree, POP is a great word for it!
:)

Cool project, I love working with pallets and hey they're free so if u make a mistake just cut another up. Well done.
Thanks and yes they are!
Thats very pretty!! nice work on the inlay and piecing everything together!
Thank you. It was actually really easy to do.
Well done mate ! Like the wood work
Thank you very much.
- N I C E ! ! !
Thank you very much.
nice I liked it 👍
Thank you very much!!
Brilliant job sir, i have subbed.
Thank you very much for watching and subbing.
Woow nice work
Thank you very much. I like the way this table turned out as well.
Great!
Thank you very much.
nice
Thank you very much!!
Belo trabalho amigo. Eu fico encantado com a habilidade de vocês marceneiros.
Thank you very much. This did turn out pretty nice.

Wow that is crazy the difference in cost.
Looks smart, did the top move much with humidity/tell change ?
As far as I know it hasn't. This table was for my brother and his wife. They still use it and have no complaints about it.
Do some good work. Got a few ideas from you. Id like to show you some of my work sometime.
Sure, I would love to see it. Do you have Instagram? Tag me or send me the pictures on there. That is about the easiest way to do it.

great video and an awesome table, I've been wanting to do an inlay like this for some time, what angle did you cut the ends of the center boards at?
chris nines thank you very much and 45 degrees.
I like the video, but you don't give any measurements of what you are cutting. Would be nice if you had plans for that table. I like the design of it.
Honestly, I just went in the shop with a picture of what my sister in law wanted and made it up as I went along. All the angles are cut at either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. As you saw in the video, I started with the middle pattern and once it was in place i put everything in around it.
Can you share the directions for the coffee inlay table ? Thank you !!
You will need to first find the center of your coffee table from front to back and left to right. That will be your starting point.
The inlay has lengths of the following:
8.5"
16.5"
24.5"
That is from long point (or side) to long point (or side). You will need to find the center of each of these boards and line it up with your center marks. I show that part pretty good in the video. Once you get the first board down, it is as simple as just filling int the rest of the pieces where they go.
What’s angle are the mitered cuts ?
How thick are the boards you are nailing and gluing to the 3/4 inch plywood?
Hi great work......are all the cuts on the top bits of wood 45 degrees mitre cuts? then put together like a jig saw?
Yes these are all either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. As you can see in the video, once you get the center section filled in, the rest fits together like a puzzle.
ah great....reall great idea, keep the videos coming...cheers
Thank you very much.
awesome table, great inlay look. I assume that you can see the brad nails on the top. if you had brad nailed the pieces from the bottom, the nails would be hidden. looking forward to your next video :>)
that is a great idea. I didn't think of that. That would be a great way to hide the nails and make if look much better.
Thanks for watching.
To nail from the bottom is a lot more work. I do a compromise and burnish my nail heads with a flame...it darkens them to it blends real well with the wood.
That is a good idea. I have never heard of doing that. I will have to try that out and see how it goes.
hey, awesome table,
quick question what stain did you use?
did you use the same stain for the inlay?
Thanks for the upload.
I used special walnut for the dark color and then oak for the lighter color.
Thanks for watching.
what size boards did you originally start out with before you shredded them? Going to try and make this same design for a table im building in AG. Good video!
I think those came out to about 2" wide. What I did to get to the width, was I knew how wide and long she wanted the table, and I knew how many "rows" of boards I wanted. So I just divided the width by the number of boards and got as close as I could to that on my table saw.

Nice job, but the brad nails ruined your table should have just used heavy weights to hold it until glue dried.
The nails don't look to bad on the table. You really only notice them if you are looking for them. But I do agree, the way to make it look best would be to just glue it to the plywood.
Thanks for watching.
How do you deal with wood shrinking and expanding?
When I built this I didn't worry about shrinkage or expanding. I was looking at this table a couple weeks ago and It still looks good. I don't know if it is because it has stayed in the same area since it was built, but over 2 years later and it still looks good, minus a few scratches from use.
I am not saying you won't have those issues, but so far I have not had those issues.
Muy elegante
Thank you very much....Gracias

Very nice, did you cut down 1x6? If so what width did you cut it down to 1 1/2 or 2 inches?
Thank you very much. I cut them down to 1-1/2" wide.
Awesome. What kind of wood is it? (Watching it silent because people are watching TV)
The base was plywood and then the top was all pine wood. I cut it out of scraps in my shop. I just stained the boards 2 different colors.
Great Thank you
Nice job
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
excelente video buen trabajo Felicidades🍺🍖🍺🍤🍺🍻🍺🍻🍖🍤🍖🍻🍤🍻🍰🍰🍰👍10

Nice table I may be trying this in the near future.. Is all the cuts a 45?
All of the cuts are 45s or 90s. Then, of course I cute the excess off on the table saw and with the circular saw.
Good luck, I hope that it turns out great. I would love to see pics of yours.
Complete novice question incoming,do the nails show very much on the table? Or are they so small they are well hidden. Thanks !
brandon watkins no you don’t really notice them at all. Especially if you gently dab some stain into them. Several costs of finish will fill them in where you really have to look for them to notice them.
But yes if you look close enough you will see them.
Are the brad nails necessary? Can you get away with just glue
If you can find a way to make them stay in place without the brad nails, then no it isn't necessary. I used the brad nails to help keep the boards from wondering while they were drying.
Love the table, why would you send the nails through the top?
I felt it was the best way to do it, and since they are 18 ga brad nails, they don't really show up unless your looking for them. The stain really covers them up.
Thanks, I love this table too. It was hard for me to give away.

What’s the measurements on the inlay
From long point to long point, here are the 3 lengths:
8.5"
16.5"
24.5"
The entire coffee table is 41.25" x 21.75".
All of the boards used on this coffee table are 1.5" wide and .75" thick.
I based my company logo off that inlay
Thanks for sharing
Jacob Box that is awesome. It is a pretty cool design
This is a cool looking project but this isn't "inlay", it's just piecing wood together to create a great looking table.
That is true, it is not technically an "inlay" but I didn't really know what else to call it.
I am glad you liked it though.
Yeah, it looks awesome regardless.
Thanks!!!
:)
Leg levelers on a coffee table. Weird.
Yeah a little weird and maybe not even necessary, but I added them anyway.
