I'm glad you didn't give up on these tables. The bases were a beautiful design and deserved to be admired for a lifetime. Well done on finding an equally lovely solution!
The mark of a great carpenter is one who can hide his mistakes. Nobody would have known if you said nothing. But mentioning it helps us all go way easier on ourselves. We thank you for that. It’s a beautiful piece. 👍👍
I mean yes... But also at same time it's surely about getting it right in the first place. I can guarantee that as a Craftsman your eye will always be drawn to the "fix" and as good as it is you'll still see it for what it is... And I'm speaking from personal experience here lol, not trying to be mr perfect. I just think that expression is a bit of a cliche
The subtlety, intricate design and flawless execution of the innuendo & under the radar filth you build into your videos is truly inspirational. The woodworking ain’t bad either.
You consistently "1-up" yourself with each build. Your work is in a league of its own. I look forward to your videos. As a fairly new woodworker I can appreciate the time you dedicate to the design of your furniture and the video editing. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are always a treat to watch. From your subtle, and not so subtle humor, the music, your commentary and just the skill shown, it's always fun to watch.
Man this table is beautiful! The design, the wood you used has beautiful veins and the technique impressed me too! And seeing the happiness on your face when making your furniture inspires me to continue
Love this video. The project, the editing, the VO. Really nicely done. Can't wait to see what UA-cam suggests me to watch from your channel next. Cheers from Denmark
Freaking incredible! I’m so glad to finally see this project come to fruition! I always run to your videos when I get the notification. Your attention to detail, aspect of design, and dedication to pushing you limits with the craft inspire me! Can’t wait to get home and get to work! Keep it up and can’t wait to see the next one!
Beautiful table and great craftsmanship Nick.I enjoy your videos so much,great editing and I always look forward to them.The way you make a furniture is inspirational to me.Thank you for sharing.
Congrats of finally figuring out these tables! Persistence pays off! Laying awake at night trying to figure out a fix or best process for a task sounds all too familiar. Cheers!
You know you are doing good when you can make your mistakes more beautiful than projects without. As difficult and frustrating as the challenging projects are.. its in that place that I think art happens for a lot of people.. for me, almost always it is so.
Wow. That makes my head hurt just thinking about trying to do that. Very nice. It makes my project problems seem trivial. Looking forward to seeing more.
As You already referenced airplane builds .... that grid looked fantastic. You might also have a look into millboard/papermaché honeycombs, an even lighter filler core/sandwich core than Your fabulous baltic birch grid, supplied from places selling boatbuilding materials. It has more partitions than that grid and thus allows even thinner shell material. We built ply-in-form spheric plysandwhich decks for sailing dinghis with this method - a 1,9 meter 86 kilogramm grown man could stand on it with 5 layer outer ply-in-form from roughly 1mm veneer, vacuum lamellated with epo, and work in regatta speed on fore sails jumping around on it. It's a little finnicky with vacuum bagging though - You might have to reduce the evacuation rate to not crush it. We also had the honeycombs sprayed/cured with epoxy or 2K DD-varnish prior to vacuum bagging which did help a little against vacuum crushing. Putting in one sheet of glass-aramid fabric as second layer instead of veneer made it even stiffer - might be overshootin' with tabletops though.😄 Tabletop looks gorgeous. The "screwup repair" adds to the whole optics. Thanks for sharing.
As always, keep doing what you are doing. Your design first figure out the execution later method is refreshing, and inspiring. I have a different aesthetic taste, however, your ideas still resonate and help my thoughts and creations. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Definitely appreciate that the further from popular styles, the less people will like them, but hope the core point of the process is taken away.
@@SawyerDesign I never said that I didn't like them. They are beautiful! Stunning! I just don't see your pieces in my day-to-day settings. Part of what I appreciate is you pushing my thoughts on "what I like". Keep doing it.
wow, thanks for not hiding your mistake. I always find mistakes after I tell myself, "Ok Stop Now, Call It Done !" but then just one more run with the sander. "CRAP".. lol loll. we all hate that don't we.
Very nice music around 10:56. The torsion in the tables is interesting. Tubular structures (cardboard tubing or Sonotube) are exceedingly resistant to torsion. You might find a way to incorporate one into your designs.
Hello 🙂 I'm a sound engineer. Wanted to say that this is some fantastic content and very creative stuff. I love your honesty and style of content. I also love that you talk about your thought process, explaining and describing things. A lot of woodworking content out there are just sped up, no talking - clips. I feel that the audio of your fabulous voice are a little bit too compressed, making the transients a bit too strong. It could help with some de essing to soften the consonants. But I believe that adjusting the compressor just a tad more laid back would help the best. And perhaps some moderate de essing afterwards. Keep on talking. 👍🙂🔊
Hey thanks so much! Sound is so frustrating!!! Haha I appreciate the help- I had someone build me some presets for premiere pro for my old shotgun mics and I haven’t been able to quite dial in the new shure mv7. Running it xlr to an elgato interface via cloud lifter. I use a multiband and tube modeled compressor. Any thoughts on which one? If the multiband, roughly what frequency? Every time I try to mess with anything I get it sounding better until I take a break and come back and it all sounds terrible. The plugins in premiere probably aren’t the best, but all the vst’s I’ve downloaded are way too complicated to know what I’m doing.
Stunning as usual. I have to say, having made a few heavy duty torsion boxes I very much like your light weight version and will be making some of these. Any thoughts on just how thin ( short?) the torsion layer CAN be? Theory would lead one to believe that as long as there is some sort of a layer in between the skins the design should work as intended. Just curious before burn up too much material in abject fail... learning.
Thanks Greg! I’m sure there’s a calculation for deflection of a horizontal strip * no. Of strips. I know the spacing of the grid is determined mostly by the thickness of the skin. At 2”, I probably could have saved some weight with 1/4” skins, but wanted more meat for inserts.
@@SawyerDesign awesome. Thanks. I’ll have to do some digging. Once upon a time in a previous epoch I studied this sort of stuff in school - just not in this use case … back to the “books” I think they’re called FYI, if you want to get crazy, you can build a grid in 3 dimensions resulting in spherical / etc surfaces which gain the strength from the grid… the grid would be a beast to build but the form + strength potential is wild (think aero space composite structures and shapes - honeycomb web inside carbon fiber skins … you can do it with wood too Oh, look up the Splinter Supercar And now, let those creative juices flow ! (Hate me now, thank me later)
Awesome outcome, very sweet looking tables! What is the finish used? I'm sure it's very popular and I'm just an idiot, but looks awesome! Future you's problem? As an engineer myself, that sounds more like something an architect would say... Fuggin' architects... Lol
Oh you asked for the sac, you get the sac lol yeah Tim got me a new one for Xmas last year and I love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B00002251E/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_0HWN6B0KM50YF50CGTA8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ml1&tag=sawyerdesign-20
I subscribed for one reason only - "I'm going to show you my sack." Yes I am a 57 year-old child stuck in the 7th grade! oooh and the woodworking is pretty cool as well.
Moments that made me laugh out loud: 1. butter my butt and call me a waffle 2. The blurred out peen clamp 3. When I see a moment when you are probably telling the camera "Not your fingers, not your problem..." Those tables turned out absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for entertaining and inspiring at the same time! Congrats to the winner!
Cool seeing you starting to have the attention you deserve! 10K subs the last month?! Congrats man, I admire the work and persistence that went into these tables!
Love the tables! I always enjoy watching your videos. Love the craftsmanship and artistry in your work. I really appreciate the fact that you don’t hide your mistakes. We all make them, and finding a way to work through is the real craftsmanship. Keep up the great work. Amazed at every one of your videos! Great video as usual!
I never knew I liked veneers until I started watching your videos. You do an amazing job with them and I can understand the practical applications of them now. Still need to bring back the vacuum bag sound though! I cant be the only one who misses it..
I'm glad you didn't give up on these tables. The bases were a beautiful design and deserved to be admired for a lifetime. Well done on finding an equally lovely solution!

The beauty of woodwork is the solution to a problem often ends in a better result, I've learnt to love my mistakes as I make so many of them. Cheers
A real carpenter ist able to fix mistakes Well done
The subtlety, intricate design and flawless execution of the innuendo & under the radar filth you build into your videos is truly inspirational. The woodworking ain’t bad either.
Very very eye-catching. Every time I watch this video, I see different skills and creativity and I enjoy seeing your work.

Man this table is beautiful! The design, the wood you used has beautiful veins and the technique impressed me too! And seeing the happiness on your face when making your furniture inspires me to continue
You’re videos are so relaxing to watch and the end product, phenomenal.
First thing I learned as a young apprentice was, if you make a mistake, make a feature of it! 👍🏻😜🤣
Wow they both look amazing. Beautiful repair of that flaw. I love to see that.
Love this video. The project, the editing, the VO. Really nicely done. Can't wait to see what UA-cam suggests me to watch from your channel next. Cheers from Denmark
Stunning. As a cabinet maker I really enjoyed that. It’s beautiful
Beautiful man. Just beautiful
Thanks so much Mike!

Appreciate the appreciation and algo-brownie points Marius. Thanks!
The sexiest full time youtuber on UA-cam! Good job, Nick! Love you!
Nice save my friend! Veneer work is almost a lost art and when done well, it's beautiful.
Wow! It looks like a table that belongs in a foyer of a mansion - it’s that amazing.
Congrats of finally figuring out these tables! Persistence pays off! Laying awake at night trying to figure out a fix or best process for a task sounds all too familiar. Cheers!
Beautiful!!!
Looks stunning, all that veneer and bent lam is a lot of work. Glad u kept at it
Thanks John! Such a process and so many hours. Glad I didn’t give up too.
I see that you have revealed that geometry is unforgiving!!
Creative problem solving at its finest! Another awesome build and video.
Beautiful
Nice recovery!
Very nice tables, u can make a center part, but with same black ring with epoxy. To divide two parts visually, but it's ok.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
looks beautiful !!! well done!!
Thanks for showing your mistakes! Makes me feel I'm not alone. To quote " you done good"!
Just subscribed!

Not trivial at all! We all start somewhere and are in different parts of the practice. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Dave!
Congrats on the channel growth! You quickly becoming one of my favorite woodworking channels. The tables look awesome!
Thanks so much Josh!

5:05 sick track. Made me think of the Chronic 2001.
Haha totally! My wife looked at me and goes “snoop?”
6:10 "Before showing you my sack..."
I appreciate that. I'm usually a two-drink kinda guy before such a commitment.
Haha oh I’ll whip mine out whenever’s appropriate.
Синяя изолента рулит!! ,,👍👋
To prevent tearout ..let your blade go backwards first..it removes the bulk of material..then finish going the right direction...works great...
True, depending on the cut of the bit
Anything easy probably is worth doing, but everyone can do things that are easy.
Words to live by!
Great outcome, Nick. Did I hear you say, "...Grokking the Total Boat epoxy..." in this? Heinlein fan?
Now i want to see a Sawyer style kumiko
Haha I’ve been thinking on what I’d do with that to make it me. One of these days
Так делалось колесо для Поля Чудес!
What is that finish you used on the wood?
The blurred clamp gave me a giggle
cool
I’ve always kinda dissed laminate table tops until now.
Did you consider using a lightweight core material like balsa or Paulownia?
11:27 lol 🤣🤣
Ah, his old nemesis… it’s like Sideshow Bob and rakes
Stunning as usual.
I have to say, having made a few heavy duty torsion boxes I very much like your light weight version and will be making some of these.

Oh, look up the Splinter Supercar
And now, let those creative juices flow !
(Hate me now, thank me later)
I probably would have opted for a piece of brass, or copper in the center, rather than a miss-matched, raised disk.
certainly couldn't do much antique restoration, as I never really try to "hide" a repair... just make it a "feature" instead
@11:27 why was that thing blurred?
11:28 Uhh, did you blur the handle because it looks like aaaaa man-handle?
The centre mistake is known as turning a fuck up into a feature
Lol, WHAT is blurred at 11:29? Think I can still see the shape through the blur :))
Haha I think maybe it looked like a… weapon? Definitely a weapon of some kind
@@SawyerDesign whatever it is, the blur just makes it worse, wouldn't have noticed without it :))

Hey did you replace the Poo Pouch with something new? Can you show me your tool sack at least?

"Butter my butt and call me a waffle." Best thing I've heard all day.

A+ as always dude - I typically feel quite inadequate after watching one of your builds, happy to report this was no different
Haha thanks so much man. Don’t worry, I feel the same about my humor after watching yours.

you forgot 'before i show you my sack', and a couple other similar puns
Thanks so much Donny! Haha man, it’s been hard to keep my humor in check for those watching with kids. Glad my stupid jokes earned a smile.
Careful with your fingers on that table saw dude. Safety first, period! 🤯
Cool seeing you starting to have the attention you deserve! 10K subs the last month?! Congrats man, I admire the work and persistence that went into these tables!
Thanks so much man! Definitely getting the ball rolling recently!
I appreciate the wood working but I'm here for the editing job.
That means a ton! Such a confusing and frustrating process, so your appreciation is greatly appreciated man
Why not do a really contrasting center? Like ebony or an epoxy inlay?
I’m a big fan of subtle contrast. Too loud brings attention to the wrong place and can throw off the balance.
At 11:20 I was thinking “that looks like a…” and the you blurred it out!!🤣🤣🤣
Lol we’re children.
Yawn, bad Putin
As always, I'm blown away by your skill and creativity. Great job.
Thanks Jeff!
