will gluing every side of the joint cause any expansion issues? Curious if any twisting or warping happens since this will be outdoors and exposed to the elements. Unless the table is small enough to not be enough movement to matter?
Recently I made a bed for my son that used castle joints and I wish I had watched your video first. Your method is easy and nearly foolproof. Nice video.
As one who hates tablesaws, this is easy to do with a bandsaw. As a totally untrained kid, the castle joint was the first serious joint I ever made. I had never even seen one before. I figured it out for myself and made it with (some) low quality hand tools. It could have been a lot better but it was a great start.
What a beautiful table!!! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at castle joints and am in the process of putting together a counter for the front desk at my business and this is the PERFECT design! Thank you for your inspiration!
Perfect!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Just moved and my coffee table that I've had for the last 18 years doesn't fit (a sidelite from a 60's home with light rope). Guess it's time I grow up. This will be my next build. The last table being so unique I wanted something to be a little "showie". The castle joints should do that.
absolutely perfect video on how to do castle joints. I have been making cutting boards for years but always wanted to learn how to make furniture but the joinery has always deterred me. over the last two or three months I've gotten serious about it. Couple times a week I would look at a video on basic joinery, hoping it would grab me, but I could never find one that inspired me, or seem to be doable to me for my first table base until I saw this one. Early last night, I went for it. Following this video step-by-step, which was very easy to do, but you get to the important points right away. There's not a bunch a jib jab about stuff that has nothing to do with the project. It's just precise and to the point and wanted. My table base came out absolutely perfect. And I am now hooked on making furniture. Thanks to you and this video. Well, I should say the second table base came out perfect. The first leg I made on the first base I hugged out all the material and moved onto the second leg and the third leg and the fourth leg just going off my marks. Obviously, I paused your video and missed the part that makes total sense about the importance of not moving the fence..ooops. Needless to say everything was off just a little bit, but the second go I watch the entire video from start to finish and then went back and follow the steps and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you very much.
Great job on the castle joints! I recently made a bed using them and the tips you provided here will definitely be helpful for my next project using them.
Great video...been planning a table with crown joints for the deck outside...I"ve never done these joints before so comming accross your tutorial was excellent timing...and has inspired me to get "crack a lackin'" Thanks again.
Beautiful table, Marie, and a great video on how to make a castle joint. Yours will now be one of the handful of videos that come up when you search for "castle joint". I love the look of the joint as well as it's inherent strength. I plan on using castle joints for my workbench, if I ever get around to making it.
I’m so happy and relieved you’re showing the castle joint on the table saw only! As a matter of fact I’d love to see plenty more joints from the table saw if you’re willing to demonstrate?! No shame in that whatsoever, I like chisels etc. but like you I’d rather have a more easy and consistent method to utilize over hand cutting each and every joint.
The table is awesome! You made it look so easy. I’m actually making a table now, but the top overhangs the base, but maybe I’ll try your table next time as i like the look of the castle joints. Good job!
it is easy with a correctly set up table saw with all the sliding module (and the planner and probably the miter saw that are "just" quietly mentionned)
Marie thank you for sharing this project. I'm about to build a bed frame for my son and was looking at some clever joints :) Btw shiro = castle in japanese. 🥰
I saw this at the store cost a hit start searching I must say you did it perfectly just I don’t have the power tools only got circular saw but I shall try it one day
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to provide this video. You are an inspiration. Clear instructions, and great result. I'm definitely going to try my hand at this.
What a fantastically complicated and we'll executed build.. I have been watching your excellent channel from the very early days... You have grown into an accomplished wordworker/designer... Well done Marie
Fantastic work, Marie! Really well done! 😃 I'm thinking about making a wooden support for my mother's compost exactly like that. 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
This is a great video. The table is attractive and your instruction is on point! I’ve watched a few of your videos and have been impressed by their craftsmanship. Good show! 👍🏼🌞
Very nice project, very good looking joint choice. End result is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your awesome project with us, from Henrico County Virginia

The castle joints are perfect for this table. Well done and well instructed for we weekend sawdust makers. Thanks!!
Many thanks!

Nice ! That's the best explanation of a "castle joint" I've seen. That Cedar looks really good with the chunky design.

Turned out great! Clearly explained.
Very nice. The joinery is something that only other woodworkers will fully appreciate and I'm sure we all do. Great job.

Beautiful to watch in every possible way
Thanks, appreciate it!
I have got to get over my trepidation for this joint. It just doesn't look like it's THAT hard. But it's so nice.

This is awesome! I now know what I am going to do with the 4-4x4x10' cedar posts I have been holding onto for years now.
Genius. You are gifted as a wood worker, video maker and teacher. Good for you. Thank you.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation. I really appreciate your post!!
Now I want to make one!
Awesome ..... l like the square edge to and hitting the edges sanding pad is a nice finish.... Thanks for the video
This table is exactly what I want for my back deck. I might make two of them, just not in 40°C weather.
Very nicely done! Easy to follow video and explanations as you guide us through the build.
Great job on the castle joints! I recently made a bed using them and the tips you provided here will definitely be helpful for my next project using them.
What a great build video. Thoughtfully presented, nicely explained, well shot and edited. Really great.
Love the saw dust trick! Really finishes things off nicely.
That turned out awesome Marie! 👌 That’s a strong joint for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent! Love this, will add it to my list of ‘must make it one day’. Thanks Marie.
Very elegant joints Marie! I too will put it on my "I want to try it" list.
