For anyone considering building the Fortress sliding sawstop add-on and jig, I can't recommend it enough. I tried so many other solutions and finally built this when he first showed it in a video a couple months ago and it's been bang-on square ever since. Truly saved me from so much agony after a year and a half of fighting the slider.
Awesome video as always! Plus, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you have your woodworking video in the background while your sponsor advertisement is in a window. Totally understand that advertisements are a part of the creator process, but I really want to show some appreciation for the extra shooting and editing put into how you incorporate them into your video. It's brilliant. Thank you.
Easily got my thumbs up! No stupid music, got to hear much of the actual sounds of the tools and processes, narrated by a real person instead of PATHETICALLY LAME ai, provided a lot of useful details, and the video is just overall down to earth. Thank you
Hey man! Love your works, channel, and drive. I’m just getting started taking up woodworking as a chronically ill 22yo, and I watch your vids when I’m doing my projects. Something about the way you edit your vids eases my anxiety for some reason, so I think that’s pretty cool too. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re awesome!😊
That must be hard being chronically Ill. I think it's wonderful that you are finding passion within challenging times. And it's an honor that I can ease some of your anxiety. Thanks for watching
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! That ended up being one beautiful table! I can only hope I can make furniture like that when I finally get started in woodworking! Absolutely great job!!
Ok, i am not an epoxy fan but this table is gorgeous. The detail on the base is amazing and your finishing skills are next level. And using a jointer to add the bevel? Brilliant! Scary, but brilliant lol! Thank you for another great project/video. As I have said for a long time, this is the best woodworking channel on UA-cam.
It is wonderful that you not only explain your process as you work, but you also share the reasoning behind your choices along the way so clearly. Thank you.
I agree. That doesn't mean that I'd do it the same way. Mostly because my shop is so small, it won't accomodate a tablesaw, jointer, etc. I'd have done that bevel by hand;-)
I love the legs!! In fact, I think you are truly the greatest at designing a full piece from the top to the bottom. From your gothic table legs to this table it is a true gift. The legs never seem like an afterthought and always fit the piece so well.
WOW!!! That turned out GORGEOUS!!!! I REALLY love that shimmer in the wood contrasting with the matte black in the river sections.. I bet you it looks AMAZING during sunrise, sipping on coffee, rubbing you big comfy socks on the cross members of the legs during those first chilly moments of the morning, waiting for the heat to warm up the house again..... I don't know what it is about your channel but I can so easily picture myself using your builds when you show them off.... I actually think it has something to do with your voice... it sounds weird, I know.... but I find myself so calm, relaxed, and focused while watching your builds (only pausing to catch my breath from almost seeing you fry yourself..... TWICE! lol) I can't wait to see what you make next! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!
I've seen so many people remove the bark from these slabs, and always thought it was a waste because I personally think it looks so much more cooler. This is the first time I've seen the reason explained and it makes so much sense! Thank you!
watch black tail too and you will see two styles that compliment each other and he goes on to explain things as he goes as well. eta as a resin artist i will tell you that those bits of bark can and will break off and float or sink making your project not look good as well as making it more fragile
Artwork with wood. You brought real joy to that woman that will renew itself every time one of her friends sees the table. I love watching your videos because they remind me to slow down, do finer work and enjoy the process. Thanks
Walnut is my go to wood. And the accent wood I usually choose is Wenge which gives the black accent but without using paint or stain. This color combo is so classic, warm and luxurious. Great job!
😮❤❤ I know your mother was super happy with that table because it came out perfect. She must be very proud of you. You put a lot of work into it and it’s gorgeous.😊😊😊
I did cut my router cord while flattening a slab, but I did not notice it. I went to a repair shop and was very much humbled when the guy showed me what I had done. The repair costed me a bit of electric tape.
Such a beautiful table man!, i mean the construction was very methodical and you have the patience to properly go through it. But the finishing man...psss that looks killer! You know your stuff ! Also great macro shots , great lights and b roll shots. My God i bet it takes forever to edit it, and i hope your channel continues to grow. For me its very relaxing to binge watch your content :) have a good day man!
I was having breakfast while watching you and my wife asked what you were saying as it didn't compute with her. I said he is taking the pics out of other wood workers. She laughed. Loved the end result
Hi Cory, one week later and your video shows up. Better late than never, right? So glad to see my very favorite cabinet maker back! I agree with those who pointed out to not liking to see the bark being removed from those slabs, as they look much more interesting in terms of texture. Finally I can accept why it's removed because you took the time to explain why! I also agree your videos have indeed a calming effect that comes from your voice and the fact you LOVE what you do. The story telling, the banters - adorably funny you - and before we know it we're presented with another art work, a synthesis of master craftsmanship and sheer beauty. Can't wait to see what you'll bring next! Until then be well and happy. Thank you!
4:15 just use the underside of the table don't need much a thin diamond shape slice just like a veneer making sure the grain is in the same direction, of course fill the hole first with epoxy or donor but leave enough for the thin veneer to be slightly higher so you can carefully hand plane it off then sanding. You won't even see the patch unless you're looking hard for it on the table.
Wow, Great video! Same design only with three instead of four legs and without the top and bottom X bases would make it one of the most beautiful tables out there. It would be more structurally challenging but the aesthetics would go through the roof.
Man you are a genius your videos are a work of art just like your furniture. That idea for cutting the other half of the tenons is great along with the jointer for the bevel makes me want to try thinking out of the box a bit more when I make my furniture
I did a pine tabletop with a propane torch out of some old two by tens, and I didn't want to burn the other side, which means the side that I burnt would simply love to cup for days Starting off with a perfectly flat top, I put in two C channels on the underside and the table only ended up having about a quarter of an inch of flex over 60 inches, not noticeable at all, and is still my table to this day. They REALLY work.
With this beautiful project and the skills you display earned you a new subscriber. My home woodshop has been idle for many reasons and now I've got some motivation to dust off my tools and get to work in there thanks to you.
@@FortressFineWoodworks I’m glad you’re going to give it a try! For safety: leave the earth wire a hair longer than live and neutral so that if a wire would break, you’ll still have earth. Practice makes perfect. 😁 Love your work!
Many UA-camrs say people don't like to watch builds. I'll be first in line every time you post a build. Your design an execution is always world class. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
What a great example of you flexing your skill and creativity. Love the legs, love the cord being cut-2x and especially curious of the jointer bevel jig! Great video--I always learn something!
retired one man shop person, here who worked on commission pieces. very impressed with the way this table came out. to be honest i am not a great fan of the epoxy tops. however, the design choices, leg choices and finishing made it a spectacular piece. well done!
If you watch some of my content made after this video ua-cam.com/video/UTV3wwpsND8/v-deo.htmlsi=O4LDchQoBAQxYZVp it will show my finishing process more
My Great Uncle was a Cabinet Maker, if he did a Dutchman Patch on a project? One of them would always be a butterfly... he would take the time to draw out the body, wings and antennae and use some fine wood working to hammer in some brass and silver wire, so the Dutchman became a Conceit and nearly a signature of his.
Awesome job! Stumbled across your channel after watching some bald guy wearing flip flops that has an $800 jigsaw. 😂 I am a (young) medically retired paramedic that has gotten into woodworking as a calming/stress relieving hobby. I definitely want to grow my talents. With guys like you around, it helps. Still not buying a $800 jigsaw though.
@@FortressFineWoodworks working with the contractor tools I inherited when my dad died. 80’s era craftsman table saw, thickness planer and a nice 12” dewalt sliding compound miter saw. Just picked up a 80’s craftsman 12” bandsaw. I’ve made a couple of urns (im now working at a funeral home doing a little bit of everything from maintenance to helping with services).
Dumb question, do you lighten the stain immediately after applying with the mineral spirts, or do you let the stain dry before wiping with the spirts? Thanks!
I've watched it front to back twice now and over and over in some areas. Marvalous. At 28:48 I do see the stain, but prior I saw a 'sealing coat' around 27:46 using some lacquer and then shallacq to see other areas (Areas on the wood?). What did you use as the final finish? I've not been able to find a finish that somewhat seals pours (those black micro lines in walnut) and smooths it out somewhat. I'm hooked on your work.
Thank you! I used two coats of Halcyon Gloss after 4 days of the stain curing. Here's a link www.totalboat.com/products/halcyon-water-based-varnish?sca_ref=5718157.55vcje6aYW Then I used 2 coats of Envirothane 100 - 10 sheen which is satin/ matte. But you can use Halcyon Satin. You can get it using the same link.
Awesome stuff....When I grow up I wanna be like you 😄 Jokes aside, I learn multiple things from every one of your videos, and I absolutely love your work, so thank you! Your videos are so good and inspire me to do better on my videos as well. Cheers!
Forgot to wax the mold! Thanks for showing that. It's reassuring to know that even the professionals make "dumb" mistakes. Maybe I won't be so hard on myself when I do something stupid, which, by the way, happens almost every time I'm in the workshop. 🥴🤪
Ok final question I believe, You've got me worried about my walnut projects a bit, as I haven't witnessed the yellowing. I'm doing a project now which will get a lot of natural light as the whole front of the house is windows. lol So I'm finishing with boiled linseed. Should I still pre stain as you did for this project? Thank you sir!!
I would if I were doing it. If you want to ask me more questions, my patrons have access to a messaging platform, and that's a great place to get quick in-depth responses from me as well as educational videos. Just join the watchtower or formal garden. www.patreon.com/FortressFineWoodworks
When you’re talking about surface texture for paint or coating to bond to, it’s called the anchor profile. I do industrial blasting and coating, we have to know all these things.
First time watching your videos and already learned something new to up my game. I subscribed and will check your other videos out! AMAZING WORK AND AWESOME VIDEO!!
I would love to see a video (or series) of you building an acoustic guitar. I've been a furniture maker for a few years and embarked on my first acoustic last year. It was an amazingly humbling process and the quick shots you shared here look like beautiful instruments.
Exceptional build! BTW, I've seen C-channel bent by slabs that have warped. Would be worse without the channel, but its not 100% warp proof. I was terrified watching the jointer bevel! Well done :)
I guarantee that's because the bolts were too tight and wouldn't let the slab expand and contract. Then it would cause more issues than solving them. Thank you so much!
you're cool because you have very high skill. I think when we become adults, we begin to see that skill is what really matters thank you for sharing your amazing work with us
CAM CAM CAM! lmfao, cams know his place, his limits, ur fine furniture he's epoxy tables big difference! Love your show and love his. Different styles.
As you were cutting those tenons off with a router... I was screaming at the screen "why is he using a router to shorten those tenons, its going to...." then it happened. Lol. A simple cut with a hand saw and then finish with a chisel would have done those nicely.
For anyone considering building the Fortress sliding sawstop add-on and jig, I can't recommend it enough. I tried so many other solutions and finally built this when he first showed it in a video a couple months ago and it's been bang-on square ever since. Truly saved me from so much agony after a year and a half of fighting the slider.
Thanks for that! I agree, it really actually works.
Did a search for it and found nothing. What video is it in?
It's amazing table.
Can I get the name of that stain?You put on that walnut by any chance
Great to see that... I made it too. Plans from WoodPrix helped me a lot :)

With cutting the bevel on the planner ~ add a worm thread to the pivot for the table top so that you can slowly "wind" the desired bevel.

I would if I were doing it. If you want to ask me more questions, my patrons have access to a messaging platform, and that's a great place to get quick in-depth responses from me as well as educational videos. Just join the watchtower or formal garden. www.patreon.com/FortressFineWoodworks
Don't you dare say epoxy table is woodworking!!!! Beautiful table... I really like the black accents on the legs!
Haha thanks for watching! It's more like art
@@FortressFineWoodworks your work is, but for us mere mortals.....😁
When you’re talking about surface texture for paint or coating to bond to, it’s called the anchor profile. I do industrial blasting and coating, we have to know all these things.
That's really great info. Thanks for clarifying the term
@@FortressFineWoodworks that was the first video I’ve seen of yours,it just showed up in my feed. Really cool and nice work.
Glad to learn about the finish process, any opinion on rubio monocoat?
I like using Rubio for small gifts. Otherwise, I build my furniture to last generations and Rubio isn't designed for that
@@FortressFineWoodworks Thanks for your perspective, which makes good sense
Amazing finishing work!
Thank you! Cheers!
First time watching your videos and already learned something new to up my game. I subscribed and will check your other videos out! AMAZING WORK AND AWESOME VIDEO!!

You've got a good eye for scale and proportion. Well designed piece.
Appreciate it. Thanks so much
Beautiful work and an excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Really enjoying your work, thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge. Empowering stuff!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much
I would love to see a video (or series) of you building an acoustic guitar. I've been a furniture maker for a few years and embarked on my first acoustic last year. It was an amazingly humbling process and the quick shots you shared here look like beautiful instruments.
That's great that you started building one. I think it's great also. Thanks!
Amazing there is just one tiny thing and it is that you sait Patrons instead of patreons
Yeah, patreon is the website, and patrons are my members
@@FortressFineWoodworks really? I thought its called Patron and patreons
@17:37 take th end pass and then the remainder from the center ive found it to be less likely to break off
I would have had to go backwards on that first pass then unless I was willing to do a climb cut. But great idea!
Great finish dude, elegant really.
I appreciate that
Absolutely gorgeous and just stunning! My friend I’m in sub for sure!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the sub!
Exceptional build!
BTW, I've seen C-channel bent by slabs that have warped. Would be worse without the channel, but its not 100% warp proof.
I was terrified watching the jointer bevel! Well done :)
I guarantee that's because the bolts were too tight and wouldn't let the slab expand and contract. Then it would cause more issues than solving them. Thank you so much!
@@FortressFineWoodworks well, was from a very experienced builder, so maybe not. But I hear you :)
Oh man, you did a fantastic job!👍🏻👌🏻
I appreciate that!
Yes, you will cut the cord again, and don’t call me Shirley!
Splendid job. Kudos.
And I sure did! Haha thanks.
That turned out absolutely beautiful brother, and I do think that that is exactly what I said to you verbatim LOL
Haha thanks dude! I think so too
you're cool because you have very high skill. I think when we become adults, we begin to see that skill is what really matters
thank you for sharing your amazing work with us
I appreciate that. That's probably the first time anyone has said "you're cool".
CAM CAM CAM! lmfao, cams know his place, his limits, ur fine furniture he's epoxy tables big difference! Love your show and love his. Different styles.
I love his stuff too. I watch every video!
@@FortressFineWoodworks hence your bashing???
@@sylvaind.6786 Everybody bashes Cam. Even Cam!
@@mspeir never seen a UA-camr bashing another one so obviously
As you were cutting those tenons off with a router... I was screaming at the screen "why is he using a router to shorten those tenons, its going to...." then it happened. Lol. A simple cut with a hand saw and then finish with a chisel would have done those nicely.
awesome filming and sound
Glad you liked it!
