Like what you doing so I subscribe. Made two log pieces so far on my channel. Thanks for the tip on grinding the larger log edges before using the tenon maker. I was struggling with that! Excited to make more log furniture!
i do this too, nice job. if i could suggest, if you do your bottom 1st then flip it on to it legs, your drips will be on the underside, still gotta hit em but its not on your most visable part. just an input :)
I hope to make a piece this beautiful someday. My current shop is under the shade trees. Could you advise me on how to prevent the white part of the cedar from cracking out? I'm making cedar walking sticks and when I grind and sand, the red is fine, but when I leave some white wood it's cracks.
Nice work! Now I have a question.... At 4:03 minutes in, you show the entire bottom end preassembled and it looks decent too. How did you line up and cut the holes with proper angles for the bench top?? That's the critical part that's missing here unfortunately. I find that to be the hardest part for a project like this as each leg is unique. I might be inclined to drill the holes under the bench first, attach the legs temporarily and go from there. Those tenons are pointing all different directions. Great looking project in the end though!!
Great video. Nice table. I learned a lot. Did you happen to look at the Bosworth tools? Their bits and solutions seem interesting to me... they are kinda nowhere as far as marketing is concerned and their stuff is more expensive, but it looks really well made. I really like their slider table. I am thinking of doing a large rail/fencing project.
@@OutlawWoodworking their bits are 'industrial' according to them... and cost about $100 more than Lumberjack's comparable cutter... but it's their carriage really caught my eye. Anyway... thanks for your video and thank you for responding. Have a great day
Did I miss the most important and challenging part; how did you mark the positioning of the mortises in the underside of top pieces? And how did you get them level, as posts appeared to be different hue Ights?
I also don't like buying tools made in China, but I literally have scoured the internet and could not find a draw knife made in America. Industry is slowing being reshored, but not fast enough. Have you tried a natural coating, like linseed and beeswax? Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Did you give any time for the logs to dry? If not, are you concerned about shrinkage? I made my second log cabin,recently, and looked at the lumberjack tool supply store for that bit set you bought. I'm going to build a couple of chairs and a coffee table too. Looks great,man !
Great tips thank you for sharing this important information you are a great teacher!
I appreciate that!
Love it! I made some of the same mistakes...log furniture is timeless and your shop is Solid!
Thanks
Really nice coffee table, I’ve never had a go at epoxy but looking at the top of that table I think I’ll have to have a go. Great job 👍
Thanks
This table has a natural and rustic style.🏚️
I wish I had your floor and windows in my garage.

Very cool,I’ll check out your channel

The only thing I try to do is make sure moisture is very low before I work with wood , good luck
@@OutlawWoodworking thank you.
Try painters blue tape on the top edge while doing the bottom
Thanks
This looks great! I’ve always thought it would be cool try one of those tenoning cutters.
Matt Bowers it's been fun, learning a lot
Great video, Outlaw.
Thanks
Use automotive clear coat. If you have a air compressor and gun.
Thanks
This is awesome. How dry were the logs you were working with here? Curious
2 years old
i like it
Thanks, it’s definitely different

I think I did drill holes in bottom of table first, working with logs nothing is super straight,it is fun though
The most critical part is the EPOXY! Trust me

Thanks,haven’t heard of them but I will check them out 👍

Ights?
I put legs together then set table on top and marked it ,wasn’t super easy
I reccomend you spend the extra on American but I`ll buy the Chinese one... Thanks for supporting American industry.. I guess..
What if you leave the bark on? Does this work for outside projects
Yes you can leave bark on ,probably look cool

I will try that,thanks
how long does fresh cut cedar logs need to dry out before its ok to put poly on them?
I would think a couple years , I’m not a expert on that though ,I use a moisture meter to check my wood
@@OutlawWoodworking thanks!!
Try using a wood kiln to dry them then use a moisture meter, there's lots of videos here on youtube that show you how.
Did you give any time for the logs to dry?
If not, are you concerned about shrinkage?

Looks great,man !
I used dry logs it was fun to do, I think some chairs would be a fun project
Epoxy is lame. The lumberjack tools were cool.
Thanks
