This table arrived well packaged and on time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
Love the design! And it is nice to see more people using the plywood edges as a design feature instead of covering it up. Very brave and a success in this case!
I watch an embarrassing amount of woodworking videos on UA-cam, all the main guys just slap something together to pump out content. This was beautifully crafted well done 👍
It's crazy how simple and clean it looks, but, meanwhile, you see the all making process you realize that it's a lot of work, or steps to make that coffee table. I'm not totally in love with it, but I have to admit that is pretty well made and finished.
Well, I am really happy to see you have moved your shop to a new level (bought new tools and in general have everything to make your life in the shop easier).. this shows that you have had your work appreciated and finally got some money from it.. congratulations my friend! As for this masterpiece, I do not have much to say.. just beautiful!
Thank you very much!! Really appreciate it. There is still a lot more that I want to do to my shop to make it even better. I do what I can to put more money into my small shop. Slow and steady. Maybe not that steady :P
Oh man that router guide was a genius idea! Cutting the groove in the cross piece that is. I haven't seen anyone do that before and i don't know why, maybe it's just something everyone assumes everyone else knows..
denno021 haha thanks. It is a very simple and helpful jig for lining up the router bit, stops me having to measure the distance from the bit to the base of the router
Excellent work, love the design, you have talent my friend. Had heart failure with the router held to bench with two squeeze clamps. Bit of ply or an old counter top and make a quick table for these operations. That way we can enjoy your ten fingered efforts for years to come.
Excellent design and execution. Seriously I think you did everything right. You know sometimes one does a project that end up great but along the way they skimped on a few minor details that no one would ever notice. We do that because a lot of the time it's not worth it to go the extra sanding mile or what have you. Not here though. I think your design allows for getting it done 100% without sacrificing time. I love it!
Очень много кропотливого труда, а получился заурядный на вид столик, который в магазине пройдешь мимо. Сам процесс изготовления понравился. Получается, делать ради того чтоб делать. Палец вверх поставил, молодец.
Dude! I built a similar piece, but it was bigger for my big screen tv. I now feel as if I put mine together with a butter knife and a hammer. Love your technique and will try to apply some of that to my own.
Winner of a video, been searching for "what is the best wood to make a dining table?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fenadelyn Esteemed Framework - (just google it )? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to improve your woodworking skills without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my cousin got cool success with it.
wow man, I am super impressed with your work. you're super smart with your workflow and you have an amazing eye for design. You make some amazing work in your tiny garage, even people with massive shops can't compete. I could easily compare you to someone like Homemade Modern. Well done, That table is beautiful and very well executed.
I appreciate the comments. Ben from Homemade Modern has a different design approach to his projects. his projects focus on simplicity, accessibility and availability for people with limited tools and skills, which he does it really well. Even though his channel is huge and has grown really well he still chooses to use minimal tools and processes because of this approach. My channel is about my own personal growth as a woodworker and UA-camr so I choose/want to focus on developing my skills and abilities with different methods and tools which can lead to more intricate designs. Riyadh Marthinus's comparison to me and Homemade Modern might not be about the product itself, he could be referring to our video style, work flow, or even our good looks (hopefully *cough cough*).
I was so impressed with that clamping method I've made some of my own. I'm making some tapered and angled legs for a side table and up til now they were impossible to clamp.
BTW, ignore all those downward thumb votes that are just mean because they must be jealous of your expertise and your ability to do great work with a minimum of expensive tools.
Man it's so refreshing to see you produce such a great piece with affordable tools! I have used a *terrible* benchtop table saw with a broken fence for years, and while it makes you take that much more care and preparation, you can still get a good result. I still do my planing with a router sled (or skis, really), and my router table is a simple 2'x2' sheet of 3/4 plywood on some 10" 2x4 legs. But thankfully I've just acquired a used cabinet saw and am start to get set up for much more efficient and safe work. It's inspiring to see your work and know there are others making the best of what they have!
Really nice design mate! I always watch woodworking vids at double time just due to the sheer amount of content out there but I went back to normal speed for your vid as the style, speed and editing was great. Got a new sub from Australia - looking forward to your next vid! Now I will be unashamedly binge watching your channel for the rest of the afternoon. Cheers
Maybe you already know this, but I have a small tip for hand planing. When you're trying to hog off that much material, you can start by planing 90 degrees cross grain. The wood is much weaker in that direction, and who cares if chips and splinters. Once you get close to final dimension or flatness, then you can reduce the depth of cut and switch to planing with the grain. The only caveat is that you shouldn't take full widths strokes or you can blowout a big chunk from the side of the board that's facing away from you.
Impressive design and implementation! Well done and please keep the videos coming! If I may suggest a small point of improvement - the sped up movement in the video actually made me a bit dizzy. If you can figure a way to cut down on that, that would be amazing!
Love the style. Nicely done. Get a decent ripping blade for your table saw and you'll save yourself some burn marks, and extend the life of your cross-cut blade.
Thanks! I did try to get a ripping blade for the project but I couldn't find a good one and I wasn't prepared to spend to much money on it. But maybe I'll try shop around a bit for one

I love that you let the plywood edges show.

From that cupped board to that oak base - superb.
Nice video. No talking, no music. Just work. Thanks.
Really gorgeous piece. The router clamped to the table scares the bejeezus out of me! Cheers.
Thanks! Haha fair enough. I made sure it was secured to the bench really well and I was very careful and took my time with it.
@@TheOffcut Oh but please make a small router table or case. Thats so uselessly dangerous I cringed xD
@@TheOffcut Loved it, but scrolled down to see if someone would mention this. It's been 3 years, hope you've made a table!
It's crazy how simple and clean it looks, but, meanwhile, you see the all making process you realize that it's a lot of work, or steps to make that coffee table. I'm not totally in love with it, but I have to admit that is pretty well made and finished.
I always enjoy watching these videos. What a craftmanship...!
That corner clamping technique is brilliant! Project looks great.
Nice clean, simple project. Well done.
Really nice work. Great attention to detail and the overall design is subtle but beautiful.

holy smokes, you got my like and subscribe at the moment I saw you leveling the wood by hand.
That's so clean! Well done! With all the work it takes, now I know why Ikea is so popular.
This trule is one of nicest builds Ive come a cross in youtube. Thx for ideas and will build something similar soon!
Wow thank you so much!

Thanks Jared! This was definitely a time consuming project! I'm glad to see people appreciating the time and effort I put into it :D
a beautifully well done masterpiece! It looks like something I would find in a show room or magazine. Awesome!
Very nice and I liked the plywood table too. Reminds me of Chris Salomones pieces a bit. Which is definitely not a bad thing :)
Cheers!
I love the table and the sounds of only the processes and power tools is AWESOME!
That was absolutely Brilliant. You have Designed and built a really nice piece of furniture with great skills and perfection. Thank you for sharing..
really cool design
high quality furniture that doesn't need a £900 domino machine. Love it!
Очень много кропотливого труда, а получился заурядный на вид столик, который в магазине пройдешь мимо. Сам процесс изготовления понравился. Получается, делать ради того чтоб делать. Палец вверх поставил, молодец.
Looks great! Some smart clamping there.
Another beautiful beautiful piece and a very educational. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Thank you :)
I really like that you used actual joinery and not pocket holes :D
It would have been a crime to use pocket holes!
I agree. Pocket holes take all the attractiveness of any nice piece of furniture.
impossible 9 Thank goodness it's not just me that dislikes pocket holes..... dislike a lot! :-)
Screws and dowels though... that ain't gonna last very long.
excellent work, a very good finish.
Amazingly beautiful!
when i first saw the thumbnail, i thought this was a @foureyesfurniture Chris Salomone piece! Definitely a compliment in my book. Strong work.
Beautiful design, turned out great
Simple but perpectly beautiful!👍😊
Dude! I built a similar piece, but it was bigger for my big screen tv. I now feel as if I put mine together with a butter knife and a hammer. Love your technique and will try to apply some of that to my own.
Nice work. I would totally use this design as a tv console.
You did not conceal the edge of the plywood, instead you’ve shown it’s beauty. I love it 😍

Last Minute Thoughts hahahahaha it was definitely the good looks!
Ahhh thought so! Hahaha
Make Jagger Totally agree with your comment.....
Beautiful job. So many great techniques used and so clean.
Great design!
Clamping jig at 5:18 is A+
Definitely! Saves me so much hassle trying to clamp those joints
I was so impressed with that clamping method I've made some of my own. I'm making some tapered and angled legs for a side table and up til now they were impossible to clamp.
Exactly what I was going to say, really cool jig, need to build one myself!
Beautiful work
Absolutely fantastic job as usual.
Beautiful design, and great execution.
Very nice, well done!
Nice design, awesome work!!
Really nice piece of work! Love it - and your taper jig. The design is just lovely.
Thank you! :D
Awesome design! That oak frame is gourgeous! good job!
Really beautiful
My love is mid-century modern (childhood memories) and you do exquisite work.
BTW, ignore all those downward thumb votes that are just mean because they must be jealous of your expertise and your ability to do great work with a minimum of expensive tools.
Congrats... Very beautifull

How can even get a dislike....... Great everything!!!Keep it up!!!!
Loving the channel man, nice work!
Cheers Robert!
you are very efficient worker :) Joke a side, the furniture looks great.
Well done! Appreciate your attention to detail!
Sos un genio!! Desde la patagonia argentina
amazing cheers from Argentina
Impressive design and implementation! Well done and please keep the videos coming!

Love your work. This project came out superb! Worth a sub I think.
You do good work sir. Much respect.
Great end result, very effective and modern look. I'd just ease up a little on the chamfering, a little goes a long way these days. Cheers.
Yeah a white cap or a dab of nail polish on those screw heads is all ya need, beautiful project man
Are you able to teach me your process in connecting the middle piece of legs to the two attaching pieces? Any tips and tricks would be helpful. Thanks
I subscribed over this video. Good stuff.
FANTASTIC
good job man 👍🏻👍🏻
LINDA !! ADOREI PARABÉNS !!! trabalho incrível.
Wow I'm in love with your work man! It is amazing! 👌 congratulations
The legs look very good, but that router upside down thing is just scary. Glad you didn't lose a finger tip on camera.
Nice! Great work!
Fantastic! awesome job!
Nice Work! I also love your tappering jig, I'm going to make one just like it :)
The sheer amount of tools used to make this has already finished my interest to build one for myself.
But great project though
Thanks for this awesome video. can you tell me the angle you used for the leg and the top horizontal one?
Nice job.
Great Work !!!
Increíblemente hermoso que buen trabajo excelente factura¡¡¡¡¡¡
Good clean fun!
This looks awesome! You got yourself a new subscriber!
