Finally someone who is honest with how much time a build took, and how much money was spent. So many UA-cam'rs make these incredible projects, and act like they were done in a weekend, and cost just a few bucks.
That is by far the most labor intensive use of recycled pallets I have ever seen with the most epic and beautiful result, my art is off and I bow down to you sir, fantastic job
I once had a friend (rip Joe) who was a woodworking hobbiest that built fine furniture from boards he made using only laminated pallets wood. One he made this way was a large classic style roll top desk. Much respect to these craftsmen.
All that mortise and tenon work was phenomenal. You just don't see such meticulous craftsmanship from young men today. If your father and grandfather aren't proud, they should be. Outstanding my young friend. I love watching you work.
You totally earned the subscription. Not only did you produce a badass table, but the stats that you produced at the end of the video was the first for me after more than a decade of watching DIY videos. Cheers! 🥂
I made this exact table design with my wife for our first ever venture into craft woodwork. We did use pallet wood, but lumber from a lumber yard. For our first project, it came out beautiful and we are SO proud of it! If it never sells, no big deal. We will happily keep it (unless we have to move). But it was fun as heck, a great bonding experience, and lit the fuel under the fire for us to keep building! Love the video.
Just recently got into woodworking myself. As a total newbie who doesn’t know what he’s doing, I’m starting off on pallet wood. Not going to waste my money on lumber I know I’m going to destroy lol. But it’s mind blowing what people like you can do with this stuff. Very inspiring 👌
Having recently built a kitchen table from pallets with my teens, I can attest to how challenging it can be to take them apart! I wish I’d seen your methods beforehand. However, given that it was done with only a hammer and handsaw, I’m pretty pleased with our result, and learned a lot from it (first woodworking project ever!).
Omg I can’t get enough of watching these pallet videos, I’m in awe binge watching, I love to be able to do what you do, such beautiful time consuming fabulous wood work, I’m 65 & have arthritis & bone degradation in my wrists fingers so I get a thrill watching what I would love to do. My heart nearly stopped when your table top dropped but at the same time it showed just how well you did your gluing, that table ain’t going nowhere anytime soon that’s for sure, CONGRATULATIONS 🥳 on a magnificent job & keep loving what you are doing, it certainly shows in your art form🥰
This is awesome. Anyone in the trades needs a video like this on their page - one that breaks down everything that it takes to do their job. Customers would have a greater appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into projects, and it would help weed out those people who believe that things are created in some magical factory for next to nothing.
I seldom comment on what I watch on UA-cam...You not only designed and built a beautiful piece of art, You taught so many trade skills and tips. Thank you, you are an artist, a creator and an inspiration to all who love wood.
I have spent 40 plus years in Carpentry of all types and consider myself exceptionally OCD about quality. You Sir should be proud of this, not only the great work but the thought process of building it and making it work efficiently and keeping it straight . One thing I would have done differently, I would have had to use all the scrap to heat my shed, it’s really cold here in Canada. 😊Great work Sir and your critiques of the work I believe is unfounded, you did an amazing job!!!
As someone who does this exact type of thinking & working with pallets, breaking down pallets is no easy task in of itself. Bolt cutters & a nail punch work great for removing the nails.
This isn’t your first time working with wood, is it! The part I found most intriguing and useful was the pallet break down. You used a variety of methods which I have never seen before. You should do a video on that alone. What a benefit to any who watch!
But this time maybee use a stack of pellets or a table to get up from the floor when sawing them? A question is also if it's not faster to make a standard typ of glue-up like homemade 2x4 and then make the different parts from those.
That’s a brilliant suggestion. As we have to research lots of different videos to find out the options. Yet I have found new ways of dismantling a pallet from your video. Thanks very much!
Man 😮. I hope everyone that sits at this table will appreciate the time and effort it took. I like woodworking but if I told my wife I was going to take a week + to build a table she'd say nvm. The imperfections are the signature. Slow clap in appreciation to you sir! Thank you.
I watch a lot of video's and it is great to see someone do something that doesn't have $100,000 in shop tools!!!! Basis tools! It looks awesome!!!!!!!!! Great Job!
I love taking pallet (and other 'garbage' wood and repurposing it... although nothing to this degree. I'm gratified you included the time it takes to plane it into workable wood. Too many videos skip (or at least minimize) the amount of time it takes. Thanks for keeping it real and keep up the great work.
I admire your energy, commitment, whatever, to complete this build. It was great to see you accounted for the cost of consumables, blades, tools, etc. So many others do not make that number available. Your shop is large and well equipped, which helps a great deal. Thx for sharing!
Woodworking is something I have always wanted to get into when I retire and watching your video has just sparked a deeper interest in this. Great work!
I made a coffee table out of pallet wood took me months of weekends with my dad to build something working with angles but so unique from a picture in my head, that is still a ton hours and lots of dedication, awesome build.
I guessed 200 hours. Close enough. You know, most tables are beautiful because the wood grain looks nice and speaks for itself. But sometimes, a piece is beautiful because it is a statement that says "someone went through all the hardship, pain, effort, and time to make something out of nothing". There are so many skills involved in making this. I can't even begin to imagine how stressful were the glue ups, how boring was the cutting and planing, or how your back and shoulders felt after sanding. Thank you for making this.
LOL! He took all that time to separate and square the wood only to cut it all into small 2in pieces, and then only use around 20 long pieces for the legs.......what a waste of time....why not just use the cut saw and cut the 2in pieces, then lay them on a flat surface, glue them together, and then belt sand both sides? Same result and you get in done in one day......
@@BuceGar yeah I would have skipped the jointer, planed both sides and ran rows of boards continuously and had a helper catch and stack them...... I just planed some pallet wood in no time both sides.
That was an epic build, Well done! I wish I had the workshop space you do, I would be doing a heck of a lot more in there. Something to consider with your jointer and planer machines: consider replacing the cutting heads with helical cutter heads. The little square cutters all around the cutting head are carbide and last a very long time and when they do blunt then all you need to do is spend an hour or so going around all the carbide cutters with an allen key and rotate them all 90 degrees to get a 'fresh' set of cutting edges. You get 4 edges per square and that will probably last you many years. I don't know if you have a fireplace or some sort of wood burner but you might be able to burn some of that waste pallet wood (depending on the type of pallet) and the saw dust you could put into your garden beds to compost away. That would save you a bit of money instead of having to pay for having to dump it at the local garbage dump.
I love the transparency in this video. I guess it really does show that free pallet wood is not "free". By my count you were up to 50hrs of work in collecting and disassembling etc, before you even started milling - which was another 45hrs before starting assembly. Looking forward to seeing more projects.
That's no less than $1,000 just to get the wood ready for milling ($20/hr). I personally wouldn't do it for less than $45/hr if it's a job and not my own project. So yea, not free at all.
That’s the epitome of a labour of love right there. Started off a bit slow but picked up the pace nicely and some lovely editing. I appreciate the work you put in to the segments along with the audio. Well done and a new sub earned. 👏
Just watching this in awe. What an incredible job you’ve done! As a 59 year old woman I built a portable workbench for my hubble ( courtesy of Steve Ramsay’s woodworking course), also from scrap material. I still have a long way to go before I’m up to your level and the power tools you have…
Pawn shops, yard sales, and online sale sites have been a huge friend to me over the years to accumulate many tools that I couldn't have obtained otherwise. Best of luck to you, ma'am!
Ryan, you are one dedicated MADMAN! I never leave comments or subscribe just to subscribe, but you have shown skills, dedication, love, care, and overall mastery of a craft. I applaud you for the time, effort, and attention to detail you've put into making a "FREE" table. Your obsession with perfection is a pleasure to watch. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing videos! Subscribed, liked, shared, and watched all your videos! You are an inspiration. Keep up the good work and good things will happen!
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
assuming he wants to earn a living wage, that table could be anywhere from, at $20 and hour - $4,085 to, at $60 an hour - $12,685...after costs. Since 215 hours is 26 straight 8-hour days, I would think he is going to charge much more than $20 an hour to make it a real living.
"Yeah, so, originally I'd intended to sell the piece. Had a buyer and everything. But when it came time to SHIP it.... nobody in town had anything I could strap it to."
So very much work, and a lot of expense, but that table is nothing short of magnificent. Picnic table???? NOOOOO I would love and treasure that and use it with pride in my home. That is a work of art really. You are a very, very talented young man. You should be extremely proud of what you made. That is a table that your grandchildren’s grandchildren will treasure. I hope you use it indoors as it totally deserves to be the center of attention in a lovely home. Beautifully done!
This was just an amazing project. I love the idea of reusing old wood as we all need to think a little more about reusing in our consumer world. That being said, i just love this table. Blemishes and all. I think that is what gives a project caracter. Well done!
you'd waste more energy and material doing it like this than if you just used clean raw material. Did you not see him talk about the materials he actually consumed and the gallons of gas he burned driving his car around gathering all that material? this is a net waste by far!
That is a gorgeous table and I can’t imagine the skill and imagination needed to build from your head, you are really skilled. When you started I thought 50 hours but then when I actually realized it was all end grain showing I figured 200. Amazing artistry and craftsmanship.
Crazy project! I’ve reclaimed pallets and I guessed 200 hours as soon as I saw how many you were breaking down. Towards the end I upped that guess to 250 hours… Thanks for sharing. I know putting the video together adds a ton of extra work. I caught a couple extra techniques to try on my next wood project. Thank you!
Wow, that's awesome, I love the look of the endgrain top with the offset pattern. It's a lot lighter than I expected. I thought it would be over 300 lb total with how thick everything is.
I’m a retired engineer and a bit on the anal retentive side. When you began to list the number of hours, cost of goods, etc. I suddenly realized if I were to ever have a table made I would reach out to you. Anyone who tracks this kind of information and can easily convey it in the video like you did is the kind of person I’d want making my table. Great job!
@@RO8s i was wondering this myself. With the cost of electricity & man hours put in...if he was going to sell the table (or have a business selling similar pieces), what would it have to be sold for? Would €10k be breaking even or would there even be profit there? Beautiful work, absolutely love the table. Just wondering from a business prospective if this type of work is profitable? Dream job and all that😍
@@MellowMeadowsGrove Well, the "profit" is in your hourly rate. If you have an order, and you've quoted it correctly, then you have a living, until you need the next one. To make a living, in fact you are better to make high-margin, low-value products, but then you are churning out simple things all day, which isn't the dream job. I did look at it, but the prospect of making twenty loo-roll holders today, followed by thirty tea-light candle holders tomorrow sort of put me off! During lockdown (the first one) I made a sideboard (from pallets) and in the second a store-cupboard/kitchen drawer worktop to match, but I couldn't have sold them at a profit. I do have a work table specifically for making that thick table-top, and if you had one "cooking" all the time while you got on with other things, then that might make sense, but it's a slog, unless you are quick and really talented. I looked at one of Paul Sellars videos, just making a simple three-legged stool. I made the same calculation and even at his speed you'd have to sell it for €75.
Wow, one hell of a job! I think it came out great, love the look. Probably fair to say it’s a one of a kind. Doubt too many others will try to do it. As far as the joinery, it looked pretty good to me. Especially for the first time. I doubt it’s going to come apart. I admire your persistence in following through with it.
This is an epic build, I like what you have created there. Having collected and dismantled 21 pallets myself, I know how much work that alone is. I don't have the space you do so had to make do outside. I am using the blocks from the pallets to make a coffee table, that's a long job as well.
this was such a great video! I am intrigued by all the work you put into making the pallets more uniform. I am just starting out on my woodworking journey, but am eager to learn more about it!
HEY RYAN - 45 YEARS TEACHING CABINETMAKING AND WISH THIS WAS AROUND BACK THEN - SHOWS KIDS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BEST WOOD AVAILABLE TO MAKE A QUALITY PROJECT - NICE WORK - TUNG OIL IS THE BEST, BUT I HAND RUB MINE "INTO" THE WOOD RATHER THAN APPLIED "ON" TO THE WOOD - ALL MY KIDS WOULD HAVE POINTED OUT THAT YOU WERE ROUTING THE TOP INCORRECTLY - YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROUTING "COUNTERCLOCKWISE" ON THE OUTSIDE OF A PROJECT AND NOT "CLOCKWISE" - THAT'S CALLED "CLIMB CUTTING" AND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ROUTER BIT AND CAN CAUSE SPLINTERING - ALSO, FOR THE FUTURE, USE "CHALK" FOR THE DEPTH/SURFACE APPLICATION FOR BELT SANDING VISUAL TECHNIQUE AND NOT A LEAD PENCIL - WORKS BETTER AND IS CO CHEAP -

Wow! Very impressive! What a beautiful, durable patio table out of pallet wood. This was definitely worth the watch. Almost $1300. But if you take all the hours you took building this & multiple that number by how much a skilled craftsman makes, it's worth a whole lot more. Hopefully, it will last for many, many years. Your wife is a very lucky lady to have a husband who would put so much into what she had asked for. Very lucky indeed!

at 68 im just starting out in the world of wood ive all ways said wood dont like me but with your help i will give it a go scroll saw/bandsaw/pillar drill all on way.thanks for posting nice work.
Stunning my friend, absolutely stunning, I broke down 12 pallets once for some free wood and promised myself I would never do that again, you are one patient man. I don`t know how much time per day you spent on it, but I guessed a month @ 8 hrs. per day, 240 hrs. I would bet somebody would gladly pay $3,000 for it, that is a work of art, well done sir. I love your shop, and those wine barrels. Somebody paid attention in shop class.
Awesome that you gave the stats. And you dont give much away on if you enjoyed your project. After the cost of around $1250 +electricity to your workshop for a month and a bit +215hrs work( say at $35 hr) it would've cost more than 5.5k. Thanks for opening my eyes! Hope your mrs is happy with the table bro.
Oh for a large spacious workshop with all the tools shown. It is a great use of space, with free wood. Unfortunately, we don't all have those luxury items. Great job, though! Well done!
I like how without saying anything you showed different ways of breaking down pallets. To me that’s the most tedious process and some pallets are different than others requiring a different method
I own and operate a Marine repair business out my home and I also restore Muscle cars. I have done wood working before but never anything to this level . I started watching later in the video and you blew my mind some of the things you were doing with the power tools and wood putting this together. It was like wow. I cant believe you were beating your self up for something you thought you did wrong. From one trades man to another BANG UP JOB BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!
I was talking to him earlier in the week and with Christmas just around the corner he was telling me he could use at least 6-700 more clamps for his woodworking shop if anyone wants to start a GoFundMe for him, you know what just make it an even 1000 new clamps!
A very amazing build Ryan. Don't be overly critical of you MT joints. They don't need to be perfect, especially for a build like this. Seeing your shop was a true inspiration for making mine nicer. THANK YOU!
Shout out to the grind and struggles you went through to get this project done for yourself, so congrats on the completion of the table for your wife. I just wanna say a nice job and keep with the grind.
Вы молодец! У вас получился отличный стол и отличный контент! Надеюсь это добавит вам не только хорошего настроения, но пару монеток.

200+ hours, expenses, and labor? That’s easily a $3,000 table. WOW!
$2000 just in raw cost of parts and material, with labor of a skilled furniture maker that table is close to $20,000
just the labour alone is about $ 16.000... Nobody would make this kind of table for $ 3.000
My bad guys. I actually meant to type $30,000.
assuming he wants to earn a living wage, that table could be anywhere from, at $20 and hour - $4,085 to, at $60 an hour - $12,685...after costs. Since 215 hours is 26 straight 8-hour days, I would think he is going to charge much more than $20 an hour to make it a real living.
여기 한국 인데... 정말 시간과 돈의 가치를 떠나서 당신의 꼼꼼한 기술이 정말 멋졌습니다. 처음 부터 끝까지 모두 보았고... 당신의 노고와 노력을 크게 칭찬 합니다.
I must say you should be proud, nice work!!
Thanks for sharing all the details. Never would have guessed it would cost that much. Amazing build.
Same, I was a little surprised when I added it all up
125 hrs wild guess
"Yeah, so, originally I'd intended to sell the piece. Had a buyer and everything. But when it came time to SHIP it.... nobody in town had anything I could strap it to."
Amazing work. I would have been done at the breakdown and de-nailing process.
👍😂😅
So very much work, and a lot of expense, but that table is nothing short of magnificent. Picnic table???? NOOOOO I would love and treasure that and use it with pride in my home. That is a work of art really. You are a very, very talented young man. You should be extremely proud of what you made. That is a table that your grandchildren’s grandchildren will treasure. I hope you use it indoors as it totally deserves to be the center of attention in a lovely home. Beautifully done!
The stats you shared are priceless, nobody makes that effort. Excellent work.
This was just an amazing project. I love the idea of reusing old wood as we all need to think a little more about reusing in our consumer world. That being said, i just love this table. Blemishes and all. I think that is what gives a project caracter. Well done!
Thank you!
you'd waste more energy and material doing it like this than if you just used clean raw material. Did you not see him talk about the materials he actually consumed and the gallons of gas he burned driving his car around gathering all that material? this is a net waste by far!
That is a gorgeous table and I can’t imagine the skill and imagination needed to build from your head, you are really skilled. When you started I thought 50 hours but then when I actually realized it was all end grain showing I figured 200. Amazing artistry and craftsmanship.
Thanks!
Crazy project! I’ve reclaimed pallets and I guessed 200 hours as soon as I saw how many you were breaking down.
Towards the end I upped that guess to 250 hours…
Thanks for sharing. I know putting the video together adds a ton of extra work. I caught a couple extra techniques to try on my next wood project. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is actually impressive
Thanks
It took time but what you’ve made isn’t just a table, it’s a work of art that any furniture maker would be proud of. I love it 👍👍
Wow, that's awesome, I love the look of the endgrain top with the offset pattern. It's a lot lighter than I expected. I thought it would be over 300 lb total with how thick everything is.
Thanks!
I’m a retired engineer and a bit on the anal retentive side. When you began to list the number of hours, cost of goods, etc. I suddenly realized if I were to ever have a table made I would reach out to you. Anyone who tracks this kind of information and can easily convey it in the video like you did is the kind of person I’d want making my table. Great job!
Thanks Greg!
At that rate, he'd have to charge you $10,000 for your table, working @ $40/hour + expenses!
@@RO8s i was wondering this myself. With the cost of electricity & man hours put in...if he was going to sell the table (or have a business selling similar pieces), what would it have to be sold for? Would €10k be breaking even or would there even be profit there?
Beautiful work, absolutely love the table. Just wondering from a business prospective if this type of work is profitable? Dream job and all that😍
@@MellowMeadowsGrove Well, the "profit" is in your hourly rate. If you have an order, and you've quoted it correctly, then you have a living, until you need the next one. To make a living, in fact you are better to make high-margin, low-value products, but then you are churning out simple things all day, which isn't the dream job. I did look at it, but the prospect of making twenty loo-roll holders today, followed by thirty tea-light candle holders tomorrow sort of put me off! During lockdown (the first one) I made a sideboard (from pallets) and in the second a store-cupboard/kitchen drawer worktop to match, but I couldn't have sold them at a profit.
I do have a work table specifically for making that thick table-top, and if you had one "cooking" all the time while you got on with other things, then that might make sense, but it's a slog, unless you are quick and really talented. I looked at one of Paul Sellars videos, just making a simple three-legged stool. I made the same calculation and even at his speed you'd have to sell it for €75.
@@RO8s thanks for the info Robin, I appreciate the reply. I won't give up my day job just yet so! Lol 😄🙈
Very impressive for a FREE wood table. I am more impressed with the base than the top though. Well thought out .
Respekt, das ist echt toll geworden was man alles aus Einweg Paletten machen kann.
Wow, one hell of a job! I think it came out great, love the look. Probably fair to say it’s a one of a kind. Doubt too many others will try to do it. As far as the joinery, it looked pretty good to me. Especially for the first time. I doubt it’s going to come apart. I admire your
persistence in following through with it.
Thanks!
Absolutely love it!! I wouldn’t change a thing…very well done…A++ 😄
This is an epic build, I like what you have created there. Having collected and dismantled 21 pallets myself, I know how much work that alone is. I don't have the space you do so had to make do outside. I am using the blocks from the pallets to make a coffee table, that's a long job as well.
Very cool!
As a retired tool maker and shop owner of 44 years this is pure
Craftsmen ship !!!!
The Master Craftsman demonstrated a great lesson in the Art of “ REUSABILITY “. Thanks
this was such a great video! I am intrigued by all the work you put into making the pallets more uniform. I am just starting out on my woodworking journey, but am eager to learn more about it!
It’s an excellent journey to embark on!
Remember that he makes YT videos. All this work is for residual income. The video makes money forever. Its worth the extra effort.
HEY RYAN - 45 YEARS TEACHING CABINETMAKING AND WISH THIS WAS AROUND BACK THEN - SHOWS KIDS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BEST WOOD AVAILABLE TO MAKE A QUALITY PROJECT - NICE WORK - TUNG OIL IS THE BEST, BUT I HAND RUB MINE "INTO" THE WOOD RATHER THAN APPLIED "ON" TO THE WOOD - ALL MY KIDS WOULD HAVE POINTED OUT THAT YOU WERE ROUTING THE TOP INCORRECTLY - YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROUTING "COUNTERCLOCKWISE" ON THE OUTSIDE OF A PROJECT AND NOT "CLOCKWISE" - THAT'S CALLED "CLIMB CUTTING" AND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ROUTER BIT AND CAN CAUSE SPLINTERING - ALSO, FOR THE FUTURE, USE "CHALK" FOR THE DEPTH/SURFACE APPLICATION FOR BELT SANDING VISUAL TECHNIQUE AND NOT A LEAD PENCIL - WORKS BETTER AND IS CO CHEAP -

COP OUT REPLY@@francisnderu588
Wow! Very impressive! What a beautiful, durable patio table out of pallet wood. This was definitely worth the watch. Almost $1300. But if you take all the hours you took building this & multiple that number by how much a skilled craftsman makes, it's worth a whole lot more. Hopefully, it will last for many, many years. Your wife is a very lucky lady to have a husband who would put so much into what she had asked for. Very lucky indeed!
Чувак, ты крут! Сделал из списанных материалов классную вещь: молодец!
В шутка про "бесплатный" материал за 1300 USD при 20 мешках опилки - вообще зачетная)))))
I am absolutely going to make one of these.
at 68 im just starting out in the world of wood ive all ways said wood dont like me but with your help i will give it a go scroll saw/bandsaw/pillar drill all on way.thanks for posting nice work.
You got a very spacious shop.
Stunning my friend, absolutely stunning, I broke down 12 pallets once for some free wood and promised myself I would never do that again, you are one patient man. I don`t know how much time per day you spent on it, but I guessed a month @ 8 hrs. per day, 240 hrs. I would bet somebody would gladly pay $3,000 for it, that is a work of art, well done sir. I love your shop, and those wine barrels. Somebody paid attention in shop class.
Awesome that you gave the stats. And you dont give much away on if you enjoyed your project. After the cost of around $1250 +electricity to your workshop for a month and a bit +215hrs work( say at $35 hr) it would've cost more than 5.5k. Thanks for opening my eyes! Hope your mrs is happy with the table bro.
I really like that you gave a break down of all your time, materials and consumables for this project!
Oh for a large spacious workshop with all the tools shown. It is a great use of space, with free wood. Unfortunately, we don't all have those luxury items. Great job, though! Well done!
I like how without saying anything you showed different ways of breaking down pallets. To me that’s the most tedious process and some pallets are different than others requiring a different method
Im a pallet guy too. Build bars, benches, tables etc. Gonna build your table. 🙏
They are some crazy numbers.
I own and operate a Marine repair business out my home and I also restore Muscle cars. I have done wood working before but never anything to this level . I started watching later in the video and you blew my mind some of the things you were doing with the power tools and wood putting this together. It was like wow. I cant believe you were beating your self up for something you thought you did wrong. From one trades man to another BANG UP JOB BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!
You are DEFINITELY an artist with wood.
I was talking to him earlier in the week and with Christmas just around the corner he was telling me he could use at least 6-700 more clamps for his woodworking shop if anyone wants to start a GoFundMe for him, you know what just make it an even 1000 new clamps!
Your a beast. Wow. All those hours. Holy Cow! Incredible.
I just... it's just so weird, and cool, and natural, and hand-made. I just love these videos. Thank you.
She must be very special to you to put that kind work and dedication into that piece. Well done, truly.
I LOOOOOVE your workshop! That's my dream space! The windows, natural light and huuuge space.
Incredible piece of craftsmanship, and the fact that you left in some bloopers is a nice touch to remind us we are all human.
A very amazing build Ryan. Don't be overly critical of you MT joints. They don't need to be perfect, especially for a build like this. Seeing your shop was a true inspiration for making mine nicer. THANK YOU!
Impressive. Beautiful. What a labor of love. Number one lesson learned. Damn man you got massive patience and fortitude. Thank you for sharing.
respect to all the effort to make such a beautiful thing
Wery good Table.
Bravo
Shout out to the grind and struggles you went through to get this project done for yourself, so congrats on the completion of the table for your wife. I just wanna say a nice job and keep with the grind.
I love the numbers and Great job Sir
Super cool accomplishment and awesome family heirloom but the end stats are why most people use old pallets for firewood haha
that's a lot of work bro!
In absolute awe with you patience and endurance and attention to detail. Bravo my friend. An absolute work of art!
