you're probably going to hear this from a lot of people, but one of the beautiful things about floating tenons is that you don't have to glue both sides at the same time - you can glue the tenon in on one side, and come back later
Its a nice table. It fits really well into a modernistic style while still holding its rustic charm. I can see that in place in both new and old home/apartments and hotels. I love pieces like that that make the place look more welcoming and "lived in" rather than just for presenting.
It's nice to see someone show their mistakes and "break the third wall" when you talk about you reading the comments. To see something genuine like this is what makes me sub and watch all new videos. I have the same experience when trying a new project. You make mistakes, you move along and learn something on the way. Keep up the good work 👍
I love your concept of a small kitchen in Canada. We live in the UK in a five bedroom terraced house that is spread over 3 floors. The kitchen is in an extension and while it is much bigger that the original kitchen from the 1930's, there is no shot we could put a table and four chairs in our kitchen.
About the orientation of the huge floating tenon... Yes, it does matter. If it's a few inches then okay, the movement of the wood with changes in humidity won't be great enough to split a joint. But you could easily have 1/8" of movement in that joint. You could have used a smaller tenon centered in that spot, and also just turned the tenon 90 degrees so that it lines up with both sections that you're joining. A foot long tenon is a bit silly, but a foot long tenon in the wrong orientation is a ruined joint waiting to explode.
@@tecnopufi - yeah, that's what I was thinking. The fit on the tenons doesn't seem so tight that I'd be too worried about exploding joints, but the wood could easily gonna move in such a way that the glue is gonna fail and you'll have a 200lb lincoln log set to reassemble.
Man I just want to say... 1. Your VO is excellent, and your voice has a relaxing quality to it! 2. I love your work man, like the full editing process, video composition, and your DIY approach to all your projects! Glad everything went well!
@@MorleyKert anytime. Even though I've never touched a piece of wood to do woodworking, I live vicariously through all the woodworking UA-camrs that exist.
I think these two gotta be my favorite UA-cam couple tbh like it ain't even the main focus of the channel but like just watching videos back to back its honestly so sweet to see them interact with each other and just thw wholesomeness in how much she supports him and even somtimes seems to enjoy helping him just for the sake of it.
I like to watch your old videos because you had the same beginner tools as me, (thickness planer, table saw ...) and at the same time you had videos at a great level, you knew how to entertain, etc. there are enough channels that work in workshops worth millions, but I understand that everyone evolves somewhere, but I'd like to see some more videos with similar equipment to your old workshop 😃
You are the definition of love. The fact that not only does she put up with your antics, but also helps you is such a refreshing sight. Not to mention that you made the “eyesore” of those bulky beams into a beautiful side table for her favorite beverage is so considerate. Keep up the good work, I love the vibe you put out into the world!
Your studio is awesome. Your creative mind is so amazing. You and your wife are a breath of fresh air. Congratulations. I'm glad she loves your surprise.
To help speed up the finish spray process what I do is use a pop up tent that has 4 sides enclosed on it, takes 1-2 minutes only to set up and it collapses down. I got mine on Amazon for around $80. Just have to throw something on the floor and you’re good to go. Only down side is it’s not massive I have a 10x10 tent and it fits just about everything I finish.
Old wood is great but I'd suggest a metal detector before working any old beams. Leftover old school nails are pretty spectacular in a planer/jointer/power saw.
Ive got to say, I dont remeber the last time I subscribed to a youtube channel, but as an engineer and general doohickey maker this channel has been the easiest sub ever
Amazing table and kept simple fits the coffee vibe perfectly. Congrats on the new shop/studio. I can't wait to see what projects come out of it. Your skills as a craftsman are definitely improving and can tell you take a lot of pride in your work
Okay, pure honesty here, as a coffee bar, it is completely impractical. No storage. You created more of an art piece. I think you could have shaved some of the heft out of it so it no longer looks like a beam. My feelings.
Someone has probably commented this, but as wood grain is like layer lines in a 3D print, you want to orient the tenon so that the shear load is perpendicular to the wood grain, hence why floating tenons are traditionally done the way they are done. Will it matter in this application? Probably not, it’s not a structural joint and that table will never see (proportionately speaking) any load except its own weight.
If I may make a suggestion: a card, such as an old giftcard, can work really well for spreading glue. You can also get a rubber roller. When you're gluing any surface without glue is a potential fail point for the joint.
@10:32. I disagree. The issue with a very wide tenon going cross grain like your setup is that the wider the peice is the more the wood expands. A 4 inch wide peice might expand to 1/32" of an inch whereas a 12 inch peice might expand up to 1/8". This can cause cracking. Your douglas fir is very old and probably very dry and stable so it might not expand too much. Hopefully your new furniture peice won't crack, but it's risky.
Awesome table, the only thing I don't like is you put varnish on it. If you are going to make high-quality furniture with old wood, oil it, don't ever use varnish. The reason is that after time, the varnish will turn yellow and then you will need to resand it. With oil, you maintain the character and the wood ages beautifully over time, the only drawback with oil is you do need to put another coat on every 4 to 6 months for the first 3 years and then once 6 to 12 months from then on. Also, by using oil as a finish, you can sand down to about 800 grit, 1000 if you want to go on the extreme, and your wood will look and feel incredible.
This table definitely gives some vintage vibes - and that's great 👌 Your new workshop looks amazing, but what really caught my attention was this great workbench. I think you should make another video on how you built it 😉
its always smart to put an 1/8" (or more) thick piece of scrap under the clamp points. especially on exposed surfaces on furniture. sometimes the clamp can leave a nasty mark that will take some good elbow grease to get out! love your vids btw
Great video and love the whole story and build up. I really liked the look on her face when you mom said that she really was thirsty for a coffee now! Thanks for sharing!
First time I arrived right when the video was uploaded! What a nice woodwork, a simple and effective design with a lot of personality! Morley, in a few weeks I went crazy with your videos, the way you explain what you are doing like a tale, the video edition and your vibe!! I look forward to seeing more videos in that epic new studio! Greetings from Argentina!
15:25 You should make the table move up and down so you can move the table so its almost flush with the floor and you can get builds off there easier. Just an idea!
Great video! The orientation of your tenons matter very much. Your large tenon is oriented sideways which makes the strength of the grain weak. Although the joint is so huge that it probably won't break. Also, normally wood movement would destroy the bond with your large tenon, but those timbers are so old, they likely don't expand and contract much anymore.
Long-time follower, delighted to hear you read the comments. I can’t offer any advice or tips but just wanted to say hello from Ireland and I love your content, wish I was half as talented at this stuff!
Here's a Quick Tip: When fitting wood piece inside each other (like a mortis and tenon... or mortise, BIG biscuit, & mortise .. as in your case LOL) you DO NOT want that 2mm gap that you left between the mortise and your BIG biscuit (with a typical biscuit either) You want you wood to be a TIGHT FIT... that gap you left would wobble if it weren't for the glue... like in a dry fit... well the dried glue is going to break very easily when the wood moves as you pick it up, or move the whole thing... it will probably hold on the big flat surfaces, but those gaps allow for just way too much movement for that glue (I'm only at the point in the vid where you did the dry fit and you're now gluing everything together, so I don't know if you use screws or bolts too... but if you don't I think you could easily add some bolts to fix this... but you should pre-drill some holes for sure because this wood is old and very dry and will split quite easily... BUT you're gonna have to bolt the 'biscuit' to the legs AND to the top because that gap is in both of them.... I've been thinking of the easiest way to do this and I THINK you can get away with JUST TWO LONG BOLTS on each leg... I'm pretty sure you can get the bolts to go into the leg and through the biscuit at an upward angle and into the top piece... but the problem will be pre-drilling a hole... you would need a pretty long bit for that... BUT I HAVE heard about putting some kind of wax or lube on the bolt to help it go in smooth and significantly decrease the chances of splitting any of the wood, but don't quote me on that because IDK how true or effective it is... But I would think it would help quite a ab it if you weren't drilling... ohhh now I remember the name... a PILOT HOLE!!! derrr!!! lol .... I keep saying 'pre-drilling a hole' but it's called a 'pilot hole' ... I think ... lol - ANYWAY... maybe you did this already and I'm just rambling for no reason.... I just wanted to help ya out.. (and keep the wifey from being mad that the huge beams are back AND now they have come apart when she was mopping the floor LOL) - GOOD LUCK BRO!!! :)
The quarter sawn nature of the tenon(s) you showed makes it stronger than if it was all straight grain going in the same orientation. You'll be fine. **thumbs up**
They do make really long router bits, I have some for my door lock router from the 50s. Made for those square lock inserts. I bought some old growth from a 100 year old flour mill they tore down in Nanaimo. Made stairs out of mine and haven’t checked or moved in over 10 years. My wife will not notice something new for days.
Wire wheel finish really drive home the rustic look ,I found when finishing some rush and get the bubbles due to heavy coats especially with lacquer the liquid settles in the valleys and bubble bubble but you nailed it she's happy and new skill unlocked 👏
The new studio is awesome, and that table looks amazing! I will say I was scared with you walking on your ROLLING shop table, trying to move around the heavy coffee table 😅
This reminds me on how my wife reacts to things; just in her own world until I point anything out LOL table looks amazing! Just discovered this channel, add a sub to the counter.
It's always a good idea to put a piece of wood or something between your heavy work piece and your work bench to act as a spacer and save your fingers.
Mate I really like the way this came out the only change I might've made would have been to slightly replicate the angle of the legs on the ends of the top beam so it doesn't look so chunky and square but that's just personal preference. Loving the new studio too. Oh and was Emma invited to the cocktail party I need to know this lol
You can get a lot of this old wood in Switzerland..from old houses and barns built like 400 years ago. Crazy hard and dense..sometimes impossible to drive a screw or nail.
I don't know if those tenons will ultimately matter, but I think they might have been a mistake? In addition to it being a wide surface for glue, which might crack with expansion, the point of a tenon, as I understand it, is to take advantage of the strength of the long grain by having it intersection with the joining wood. But by having it oriented how you did, there's still no long grain crossing the plane of the joints in this table, so you're really not adding any strength to the joinery. I mean, I'm not an expert, and this is all in theory, but it could cause problems down the line. Still a very beautiful piece of furniture!
I must admit I'm a nervous reck watching you work Morley 😅 stay save mate. The table turned out absolutely amazing and the video was lots of fun thank you for sharing mate.
I love the way you shoot your videos. I hope to make videos as good as yours someday too. You asked if the grain direction of the floating tenon makes a difference, and in theory, it does. As you mentioned earlier, the grain of the wood is held together with lignin, which means the strength of your floating tenon is the strength of the lignin holding the fibers together. Traditionally, you make the tenon along the grain so you can rely on the wood's full strength. That being said, this probably won’t be a problem with this table since there is so much space for the glue.
I love you I found you a bit ago then forgot about it (got distracted by so many other content adhd brain) then came back and I still love your content
like your vid man , on your question of the tendens , im a woodworker and we make also furniture but we always try to get the grain structure of the tendens the same way as the wood it self
I personally would have made the legs and bottom shelf thinner so that the table is a bit less monolithic. Maybe some angles on the tabletop itself as well? Looks great in that nook.
If you get a sewing needle red hot and poke it through the fingernail you smashed it'll relieve all the pressure and take away the pain. It might sound like it will hurt really bad but it doesn't at all.
Hey, Morley! I heard you said you read 99% of comment so I just wanted to say I love the 3D printing videos! You encouraged me to bye one myself! I bought the Bambu lab a1 mini and it is shipping and will arrive soon. That you for making such good videos!

You're an incredibly entertaining and talented creator. I hope you do read this and know you're appreciated!
since you read your comments I just wanna say Love the woodworking content keep it up!
I love you I found you a bit ago then forgot about it (got distracted by so many other content adhd brain) then came back and I still love your content
You really improved your craftsmanship and that new studio looks awesome!
She's gonna hit her shins every morning on that lower beam though... :P
Thanks! Haha been a week and no shin hits yet 🤷♂️
@@MorleyKert Then I have to apologize for my early judgement. Keep it up!
Yooo I was waiting for another vid drop. W table W vid man always enjoy seeing your designs
15:11 the best way to avoid stuff like this is to drop it onto some shims or some kind of wedge, then pull the wedge out from under it.
Such a great video and the science behind the details just sounds so good!
Way to go. You worked hard in that table, enjoy it!
I... would never ever disappoint this woman for two main reasons
Congrats on the new studio!
like your vid man ,
on your question of the tendens , im a woodworker and we make also furniture but we always try to get the grain structure of the tendens the same way as the wood it self
Great build, fantastic video!
Shout out to you for throwing in Dusty Lumber Co. love his short vids
I personally would have made the legs and bottom shelf thinner so that the table is a bit less monolithic. Maybe some angles on the tabletop itself as well?
Looks great in that nook.
Love how to table turned out! Also, congrats on the studio!!
Thank you!
I don't even know ABC of wood working, neither do I plan on doing in near future. But I just love watching your videos❤
Fun video Morley. did you clearcoat the bottom of the top and feet? Also can you link what you used to brush/sand the wood?
I am so excited for this new studio!!!
Watching you get distracted while you were in the middle of a glue-up gave me so much anxiety 😅
Now I'm excited for "new studio" videos
If you get a sewing needle red hot and poke it through the fingernail you smashed it'll relieve all the pressure and take away the pain. It might sound like it will hurt really bad but it doesn't at all.
Hey, Morley! I heard you said you read 99% of comment so I just wanted to say I love the 3D printing videos! You encouraged me to bye one myself! I bought the Bambu lab a1 mini and it is shipping and will arrive soon. That you for making such good videos!
Thank you! New 3D printing video coming soon :)
Great video again, and a really cool table! I'm curious though Morley... If you would have sold this table, for how much do you think it would have sold?
Thanks! Not sure... couple thousand? Curious what others have to say in this thread 👇🏼
Awsome build and new shop !!!!
