    Brad, thanks for the videos! New woodworker here and I appreciate you showing some of your mistakes. I am reminded that even the pros do it once in a while. After all, "the mark of a craftsman is not how few mistakes he makes, but how well he covers them up." Bought and completed a lot of your shop plans. Thanks!

    A) 10:06-10:08 is THE defining shot for this video
    B) this is by far my favorite project of yours. it really shows the intricacies of a “simple-“looking table
    C) this is a coffee on which I would *actually* use coasters

      This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?

    I actually like the fact that you are using expensive tools. It shows the extent to what can be done given the proper knowledge and equipment. If I had the money to spare, I would put together a shop like that as well.

    This is funny seeing someone else struggle with dowels!
    After my first time trying dowels with inferior tools, I went out and bought the JessEm Master Kit and haven't looked back! Alignment is really easy.

    I saw this video and I actually made the same kind of coffee table but with different wood and different measurements. Worked out great though! I was 13 when I made it now I’m 14! It was a long build especially since we used mortise and tenon joints for the pieces of wood under the table tops and we had to cut and chisel them with a router and some of chisels. Basically we didn’t exactly have the tools for the job but it still came out great!

    Gorgeous table! That wood's beautiful, and the design is simple yet elegant. Well done!
    One tip I once saw for notching out a shelf to a rounded leg, was to use the drill press and a drill bit size equal to the leg's round-over radius in the corner of the notch, then band-saw up to this hole, leaving a rounded notch that perfectly matches the leg. But that's more for larger round-overs. Here the difference is so small, it's unnoticeable.

    I almost forgot, but you are up till now the only one who made this very important remark: checking that everything is square! You wouldn't believe how may projects go pear shaped, almost litterary because people forget to check the corners, if they're really square!

    My favorite McGuiver is when he is locked inside a fireplace of a cabin. He breaks his bonds or not and braces himself with his back against the chimney walls and feet out to inch worm his way all the way to the top. Then he rolls off the roof or something and he hot wires a dirt bike. The best part for me is that he accurately teaches you how to bypass the key start and it’s on TV. Loved the 80’s...

    As usual Brad, detailed explanations of how the job was done. Good to see you showed your mistakes too. Far to many guys edit that out. We need to see the mistakes so we've got an idea how to fix them when we make the same ones.
    No baltic birch in this one.... The walnut looks great. Thanks for sharing.

    One tip for the hot glue - IPA or Acetone will break the bond of the glue making it come off clean and easy. I still prefer the tape+CA, but sometimes hot glue works better. Nice build, the table looks great.
