- I made a four seater round dining table using vic ash and moreton bay ash. The edges are wrapped in contrasting steam bent pieces, and in the centre are 2 solid pieces. There was some termite damage that I had to stabilise with epoxy. The legs use angled mortise and tenons and half lap joins.

Hey everyone. It’s a long one this time but there were a lot of parts to it. Hope you enjoy!
Fantastic work mate. It's one of the nicest round tables I've seen in a long while. The top looks awesome, but I'm a huge fan of the base structure. Adding the second cross piece adds so much rigidity to the frame without getting in the way of people's legs like a lower stretcher rail would do. Love it! 👍👍👍
Thanks kuffy, really appreciate that
Well done. I'm disappointed you didn't license "You Spin Me Round" for such a pivotal piece of your woodworking journey. You've had a couple of projects orbiting the steam bending sphere of woodworking, whats the next challenge? :)
If you're looking for a step up from the (diablo?) straight flush trim bit, Timbecon's shearing cut (angled straight bit - I think they call them HD?) flush trim bits are *really* good for their price. I still want a spiral flush trim bit for very delicate stuff, but for 99% of flush trimming/pattern work they're amazing
@19:44 Thats the face of "dont-drop-and-break, dont-drop-and-break" panic we're all familiar with when lifting things solo :D
Thanks Paul. I used the Diablo straight cut equivalent, upgrading from straight flutes to slightly angled, and what a difference it makes. Less chatter, less noise, cleaner cut...why do straight flutes even exist anymore! Will check out the Timbecon bits, might even treat myself to a compression (if they come in 1/4 inch)
came out fantastic Robin ! really nice work
What a stunning job and a video edit that is equally sensational! Well done.
Thanks Scott
Beautiful table, I love how you have incorporated the steam bent edges. Your narration and videos are brilliantly put together. 👍 Jim
Hello my friend.
Nice project. Round Dining Table have created great. Congratulations on the project and the way it works smartly, hiding great experiences. Thank you for sharing. See you. Great greetings.
Starting to get a bit envious of the skills you are developing! Nice looking table and well done. Agree with Kuffy, the second cross piece really makes the table stronger, more practical and to my mind more aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the video. Cheers, David
Thanks David. Yeah, really stoked how that part turned out
Looks so good Robin! Such a beautiful piece that you can enjoy each day!! Like the window packers tip to! Will be sure to pick some of these up on the next Bunnings trip!
Awesome table, thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Thanks
Just beautiful !
Great work
Amazing..... upload more plsssss
Haha thank you
Excellent design, really standing out in plus from all the glued tops I have seen (I follow the topic carefully on YT, looking at various solutions). Arches are perfectly balanced with respect to the diameter of the entire table, being clear reference to art nouveau.
The legs together with the entire supporting structure, with a tight fit, form a solid base despite the filgree appearance.
The whole thing is well thought out and makes an extraordinary impression.
Congratulations, great idea, perfect job!!! And these fabulous colors of wood... Poetry!
Very nice design and build! Regarding your pattern routing tearout; you need to flip the piece over and then rout from the other side so that you are with the grain and you won't have the tearout. Not sure if you have access, but Fine Woodworking Magazine has a good article this month June/July 2020 about how to make jigs to do just what you needed. Nice work!
What a FANTASTIC looking table. Very well done Bud. Hoping all is well,Dirty Jersey out!!
I was captivated from the beginning to the end, this is my impressed look! 😁
Looks so good Robin! Such a beautiful piece that you can enjoy each day!! Like the window packers tip to! Will be sure to pick some of these up on the next Bunnings trip!
Well done Robin 🌹👍
Where did you buy the tight bond wood glue? I couldn't find it in the Bunnings !
Lovely table and great build video!
Awesome looking table, Robin! Enjoyed seeing the process.
Very impressive... Love the work.
Absolutely love the contrasting timbers and the skill in producing a beautiful table - have just subscribed
Thanks Arnold!
Brilliant. Love the clear bit when you flipped it over. Check out the Freud spiral bits they have in the shop now man; very very cool.
Thanks, will do!
This is wonderful work!
Welcome back! Must be one of your longest breaks between video but the IG updates have been great. It's been very cool watching this slowly come together and well worth the wait to see the final product and edit.
It’s been too long!
I was a massive journey, Robin. Been following on IG the whole way, and it's nice to see it all pulled together.
Thanks Art, appreciate the support
Just found your channel. Great work. Im curious if you've noticed any separation between the strips on the top as time as passed a bit? Does the wood want to spring back from the steam bending over time?
Thanks! So far so good, no separation. The wood might want to spring back slightly but not enough to overcome the glue. The only minor issue I've noticed is the glue lines; the different species of wood expand differently so the you can feel the joins sometimes
What happened to Jordan Crawford? Is he still in the podcast?
He had to commit to his new business for this season of the show, so we had to find a replacement
Beautiful! Been following along on Instagram. Inspirational stuff!
This is absolutely stunning Robin!
Thanks Debby
Awesome build
You should be proud
Thanks
Beautiful table, great job.
Thanks very much!
Amazing craftsmanship!
Thank you
What's your final opinion on the clear epoxy in the void? Wish you'd to tinted it? Or are you really happy with it? Table looks awesome
I didn’t do a great job with it so it’s hard to comment on what I did, but in the past when I’ve gone black it’s always been to stark. It’s a tough one, hard to say
@@RobinLewisMakes it's one of the reasons I've generally stayed away from epoxy. When I was doing work experience in highschool I worked at a solid furniture factory. The used mostly reclaimed wood. Bit they did recessed borders with black epoxy and thin chunks of burl. Looked great. SO messy though.
It looks beautiful bro. I was waiting for this video! Very nice!!!
Thanks. Got there in the end
Very, very nice, an interesting process you followed. The table came out beautiful. Cheers.
Thanks Rod!
Isn't it awesome that you can build stuff out of wood only with your hands some tools and your imagination? Dude! Great work! It is so pleasent watching you doing stuff. Many greetings from Germany.
That’s what it’s all about. Thank you!
Robin, absolutely beautiful table and the video was outstanding as well! Really enjoyed watching the various steps it took to build the project. Although I am aware of how to flatten a slab it was nice to see how you approached this aspect of the build. I really like the type of base (leg structure) you created with the angles. Thanks for posting!
Thanks very much, stoked you liked it!
Awesome work Robin, looks amazing! 😍👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred
Thanks for sharing Robin! I absolutely like the design, and the result looks pretty stunning!
Thank you
Lovely job.
Thanks mate
Been waiting for this video. Been following along the whole time on IG and shop stool podcast.
Thanks Dave, got there eventually
Amazing work. The end result is stunning!
Thanks
That's a beautiful table! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andy
That is stunning mate, really love the design.
Thanks Riaan
This was a looooot of work, brilliant result, wanna sell it? 🤣
Not a chance haha
Fuck yeah! very nice
Thank you!
Robin Lewis Makes have you considered chamfering the underside of the tabletop’s edge? That would make it even finer. Or was it enough ‘learning process’ for one project? :) That’s what I learned in the meantime: don’t want to learn too much in one project. That’ll really keep you awake for nights in a row. Worse than a baby 😂
Nice work mate.....Kuffys Woodworks ,,,,sister want the plans for her brother to make one
Thank you
