    I've probably built 100 tables over the past 13 years, but you actually taught me a couple things in this video. And you are right about the mistakes, I make them on pretty much every project I do, and I do this for a living. I was just doing a kitchen remodel and literally cut the 45 on the wrong end of one of the countertops! It was the closest I ever came to crying since I've been a woodworker. 😄But I got over it after pacing around my shop for 20 minutes and saying to myself "I can't believe I just did that" over and over.
    I'm a perfectionist, and always want things to be as close to perfect as I can reasonably get them, but my cousin, who works with me a lot, tells me that the world is against my perfection. 😔
    Great video and channel.

Happens to the best (and in my case, worst) of us. Luckily it was one of those cheap laminate counters and the people at Lowe’s will return damn near anything lmao. I try to remind myself that perfection is the enemy of good and sometimes you don’t need to get it perfect you just need to get it done.

      I don’t think bread board ends we’re used to stop cupping. Old woodworkers knew cupping was caused by ring orientation. Bread board ends were added even to quarter sawn tops. I think BB ends purpose was to cover exposed end grain, just like fascias and countless other applications. Depending on your climate, I think you will gain and lose moisture at the ends of your table and shrinkage cracks will emerge. I’ve seen this happen to tables with BB ends too, but the cracks effect the utility of the table less.

      Unfortunately, it's the opposite in my experience. As an amateur, I often have to fix the professional's mistakes, eg electricians. In London, it's difficult to find a rock solid reliable tradesperson. Even recommendations have to be taken with a pinch of salt - homeowners recommend based on the person's charm and whether the surface looks good and they don't know if the job was done well or not and they would rather not know if it was bad.When you find a good tradesperson, it's likely they have a long waiting list and they are close to retirement.

    As a professional woodworker who has done many glue ups, I always try to alternate growth rings. There are valid reasons for that which have to do with way the wood absorbs moisture from the air. The other rule of thumb is to never glue up board more than 2-1/2 inches wide. The wider the board, the more likely it is to warp. The best way to keep large glue ups from warping is to finish both sides to keep one side from absorbing moisture from the air when the other side is sealed.

    Great video John! Love how you put these videos together and I learned a lot on table making. I agree with you about the alternating grain direction tradition for tables. However, I still practice that method when making laminated cutting boards. I've seen some earlier cutting boards (kiln dried hardwoods) warp over time, but I think it has more to do with the end customer overexposing the cutting board to moisture. Even though I warn them not to soak in the dishwater and apply mineral oil periodically.

    Great video bro! I have a cool trick for the glue issue that you had that was deep into the grain... Take "hot" water, rag, and a iron... press it over the spot that has the glue, do this for about 20 minutes re soaking with hot water and the wood will swell in that area dramatically and raise the grain. You then will be able to sand that glue off easily that seeped into the pores. Also, I don't claim to know everything... in fact... barely anything, but as of today.... I have made 923 dining tables and 86 warped when I didn't alternate the end grain. Like you said, I tend to lean against traditional wood working techniques sometimes and alternating the end grain seemed kind of dumb to me since I was milling lumber dead square and using c-channels, but all the tables (86 of them) warped when I skipped the alternating end grain. I now alternate those end grains and I can honestly say the last 837 tables had ZERO warp. Please don't think that I'm being a know-it-all, but I would hate for you to learn the hard way like I did. After I re made all those tables for free, I lost so much money and basically halted my growth as woodworking business and set me back dramatically! Anyway, great vid homie and keep CRUSHING it!

    Nicely done on the prep of the lumber before glue up. Taking your time etc to get flat and true stock. Very important stuff that most amateurs don't get. I have to say though that I do alternate growth rings in general as there is always seasonal moisture change that will effect the flatness of stock. Also, a cleat or support crosspiece may help keep a top flatter but in general, they never seem to have the strength to resist a top that wants to cup. (36 years experience).

    I'd love a note, or even a video, going more in depth on your milling process, especially because it looks like you took some pretty wonky rough sawn lumber and made really nice straight boards. E.g., what was the initial thickness? How much did you remove in the first pass, how long did it sit before the second, and how many passes to get to the dimensions you actually glued up? I had no idea milling was supposed to be done over multiple days (or weeks) and that would be really helpful as a starting woodworker!

      Thanks Geoff. Ill probably do a video on it at some point, but heres a breakdown until then. Milling def takes lots of practice. These were 6/4 boards to start, but they were really ROUGH, some of the worst I've ever worked. The table would have finished at 1 1/8 but the glue fiasco took off almost a full 1/8. I was hoping it would be closer to 1.25 but it wasn't meant to be. I dont worry about taking off a certain amount during my initial milling, my biggest concern is getting one flat face from the jointer, then planer. But if your boards are extra twisted like these, you can end up taking off way too much material on the ends and your board get thin really quickly. Ill cover the tricks on how to avoid that at some point. Difficult to explain. A day or so later I come back and face joint a side again (because it wont be flat anymore) then start planing the opposing side. Let a day pass at a minimum. Face joint, plane and you're typically good. But since these were extra twisted. I let them sit another 3 days and then did a super light pass on both sides. So there isnt a great formula for it, it tends to be a lot of feel based on what you're seeing from the lumber after its rested. Hope that helps.

      @@Lincolnstww SUPER helpful! Essentially you do a rough mill on the first pass, looking for a flat face; then it's resting and going back to flatten again with resting in between until you're ready to go. The big take away is to give myself more like 4/5 days after wood acclimates, not one, to mill down. Really appreciate you taking the time to type it out!

    Thanks for the tip on truss head screws. I too have drilled through the top of a table. I hate the tape on the drill bit trick. The tap creeps up as you drill more holes. My fix is to use a piece of plastic pipe on the drill bit as a depth stop. I have about half a dozen various pieces in the drawer with the bits and a longer piece I can cut new ones out of if necessary. Well worth the little bit of effort. Works a treat. I will find some truss head screws, thanks.

    I was told over 60 years ago that there is no such thing as a mistake, just a great learning chance. Also besides learning from mistakes we very rarely make them twice and so are worthwhile long term.
    I am still doing wood work as a hobby as I build many different Bee Hives as well as shelving as required and barn doors and different pieces useful for in the house and work shop.
    One very useful learning experience was to never buy cheaply made tools, there is a difference between a cheap tool and a cheaply made tool :)
    I have tools well over 40 years old, they seemed expensive at the time compared to cheaply made ones but, they still work as good as the day I bought them.
    Saves money long term buying good quality and always on sale or second hand from a person that bought it just to do a project and no longer need it.

    I was initially reluctant to let go of the alternating wood grain direction idea. But what you said about moisture acclimation makes good sense. And come to think of it, I've never seen a table top where that helped but still looked flat. I.e., the table's net curl was zero but only because of the alternation. If individual boards are going to curl, I'd still see that in each individual board. You've changed my mind. Acclimate, acclimate, acclimate.

      Don, I cringe when a presenter uses words like "simply" when demonstrating a tool or technique which they perform flawlessly. We learn from our mistakes and everyone makes them. I would like to see more videos like this one that share mistakes and screwups. I have never completed a project without making a few, or in the worst case, using my wood art for firewood and go back to formula. We learn by doing. No one, no matter how many videos are watched, can avoid climbing the learning curve. To avoid becoming discouraged, I view my project as a learning opportunity to master a technique or tool. If my dresser turns out ugly, I put it in a closet or down in the basement. Or burn it. I build with relatively inexpensive softwoods like pine until I gain confidence and skill before investing in more exotic, hardwood lumber.

There is no need to land a set screw on a certain part of the bit. It NEVER slips. You won't go back to single collar sets.

      @paramoose Рік тому

      The best explanation I ever heard about why that isn't best practice: If you are running that flat side down a flat straight edge and you flinch, sneeze, apply uneven pressure on the handles, daydream for a slit second about your favorite heart throb the router will turn. If the router turns when you have flat-to-flat guide surfaces it is gonna push the bit away from your reference edge causing the cut to go offline.
      This is why I never use an edge guide attached to the router base, instead I clamp down a straight reference edge when possible and run the router along it like he did.

    Freaking love the accident hiding with that knot. Once I was using a manual Bridgeport mill to make holes in a cribbage board and was advancing by my spacing increment using a digital readout. At the end of one row I was supposed to come back the other way but turned the x wheel the wrong way (eyes glued to the readout) and put a hole in no man's land. I went through the same emotions you displayed in the car and then went about damage control... I ended up using sawdust and glue, but found I could use a chisel tip on my soldering iron to both put fake grain lines in the woods as well as lightly rub the iron on the filled area to further darken it to match.
    Anyway, so realistic and honest to show these mistakes and work through them vs starting over :)
