Excellent tutorial and wonderful completed project. Superb instructions including woodworkers tips that included seome mistakes and corrections. Real-world and humble..... I appreciate that you are using relatively affordable tools.
Well, just commented on the Walnut drawbore mortised table video that your videos reminded me of Ishitani's... 15 seconds later, you mention him in this video :D (Yes, I'm binge watching your channel)
Firstly great build, secondly I am vaguely replicating a Japanese trestle table for my dorm room, and I like the overall proportions of your table, I could not find dimensions in the video though, if you are still responding to comments, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Ryan thanks! Luckily I’m sitting in front of the table right now. The top is 23.25x36, the outside faces of each leg are separated by 23.5, overall height is 29.5, widest part of each leg is 18, central width of each leg is 3.5, and where each leg meets the floor (or the underside of the top) tapers from 1” to 2.5” thick over 7.25. The total top thickness is 1” tapering out to 1/2” at the edges, and that bevel is approx 2” wide. Hope that helps!
Very nice- your woodworking influences and aesthetics are similar to mine, I’m just much further behind :). I remember you from a few years ago, perhaps from the member postings, as a member of the WWMM weekend woodworker course of Steve Ramsey’s. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Awesome, thank you for the kind words Andrew! Yup, I got my start with the WWMM weekend woodworker course, Steve is a big inspiration for me. And, keep practicing and building stuff and you'll be amazed how fast you can improve!
Good video on your thought process and build. How sturdy is the whole thing with such thin material for the trestles? You mentioned Paul Sellers, you'd probably also enjoy the books by Lost Art Press and Christopher Schwarz.
Thanks so much Alex! I would say that the table is sturdy in that all of the joints are strong, but it is definitely a lightweight / airy build. I probably would have made the legs and trestle maybe ~1/8th or 3/16th thicker, but I was limited by the lumber I started with. And, thanks for the books recommendation!
so sick... glad I came across this video as I'm thinking of building a table based off of Ishitani's as well. What's a good ratio for foot length to tabletop width? 2/3rds? thx
Awesome Liam, if you build the table let me know how it turns out! For ratio I'm not really sure because it also depends how tall the table is. I would recommend building a very simple prototype (just screwing together scrap 2x4s or something) to see how stable it is for yourself. I also usually design a rough sketch in SketchUp to see how the proportions look. I'm happy with how this table turned out though so you could just copy my proportions. Good luck!
Thank you Woodworks! The plane used here is actually a 5 1/2 and it is a great size for making a table like this flat. I did recently get a #7 and it's great for very large surfaces like my workbench, but for a table like this a 5 1/2 is more than enough in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much Raja, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
That's a really sweet result! I struggle with the patience required to produce something like this....
It definitely takes patience... that’s why I almost have my headphones in listening to an audiobook or a podcast :)
Great Build brother. I am going to do one for Christmas. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks Gary! Let me know how it turns out!
Wow,,,some bargain basement priced lumber turned into a beautiful heirloom.. Very well done, congratulations.
Thanks Tom, I'm glad you like it! I hope this table turns into a family heirloom!
Awesome piece of work, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this from start to finish.
Thanks! I'm glad you stuck around for the whole thing! :)
Ha! I knew you were a Paul Sellars fan because of your marking knife 😉! I have the same one and love it. Very nice work!
Thank you jc! Yes Paul is a big inspiration to me, I definitely bought this knife because he uses it :)
Very nice, Dave. That is a great looking table you ended up with. I see you are making good use of your new hand plane.
Thanks, Don! Been practicing sharpening by hand and I'm getting better!
Really nice work & really useful detail on construction too.
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment, Prakash!
That is a sweet looking piece my friend. Also, really good score on the lumber. Got to love those deals.
Thank you, TK! Always appreciate your comments!
Nice man! beautiful table. Well done!
Thanks, Christofix!
Nicely done my dude
Thanks, Brian! :)
Very good work, guy! I like that!
Thanks, Voron!

Haha thank you! Welcome to my channel!
Nice work!
Thanks!
You've done it again DK. Great build! Very upset you saw the lumber on Marketplace before I did ;P
Thanks Kev! I dig your recent update video. You'll get 'em next time on marketplace!

Thanks emba!
Nice build man. Been following along on Instagram and finally stopped in on UA-cam 🍻
Yesss thanks for stopping by!

Hope youtube recommendation does something for you in 5 years, and keep up the great work fellow redditor.
Thank you! I’ll try!
Really well done video man. Did you find the #7 hand plane worked well for knocking down the high spots on your table top and making it flat?
Thank you Woodworks! The plane used here is actually a 5 1/2 and it is a great size for making a table like this flat. I did recently get a #7 and it's great for very large surfaces like my workbench, but for a table like this a 5 1/2 is more than enough in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Nice! 👏👏👏
Where is this Markerplace where you get this fine wood???
What brand/kind is that hand plane? Do you like it?
It is a WoodRiver 5 1/2 and I absolutely adore it. Probably my favorite tool in my workshop.
"Bridal" Joint 😂😂

Selamat 👍🎉
Terima kasih!
Nice work!
Thanks William!
