This is my design for a coffee table with a hardwood base and a plywood box with open shelves for the table top. This is my first time using oak and I had to do a lot of hand planing and thickness planing before I could cut it down to size I wanted but I really like the result and really enjoyed working with oak.
The plywood has a high pressure laminate on the faces which gives it some good protection and the white gives a nice contrast with the oak. I decided to leave the edges of the plywood visible instead of edge banding.
The plywood I used:

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!!!
a beautifully well done masterpiece! It looks like something I would find in a show room or magazine. Awesome!
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.
Really nice work. Great attention to detail and the overall design is subtle but beautiful.
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 👍
That corner clamping technique is brilliant! Project looks great.
I love the table and the sounds of only the processes and power tools is AWESOME!
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.
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!
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!
Love your work. This project came out superb! Worth a sub I think.
holy smokes, you got my like and subscribe at the moment I saw you leveling the wood by hand.
great build, man: thorough overview of your steps, lots of care, and a cool design. thanks!
Beautiful job. So many great techniques used and so clean.
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!
That was absolutely Brilliant. You have Designed and built a really nice piece of furniture with great skills and perfection. Thank you for sharing..
I always enjoy watching these videos. What a craftmanship...!
Awesome Workmanship, Great Table ❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
lovely design and your build was inspiring to watch. thanks for sharing
That's so clean! Well done! With all the work it takes, now I know why Ikea is so popular.
Beautiful design, and great execution.
Awesome design! That oak frame is gourgeous! good job!
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.
Great work, loving the design.
From that cupped board to that oak base - superb.
Really nicely done! I like the design of this one a lot!
Quality craftsmanship.
It looks great! A lot of work but totally worth the final piece. Just one thing...those 4 screws at the end...noooo. You should have found a way to connect the parts, maybe from behind were no one will see. Other than that, excellent!
Hahaha sorry Cris! I couldn't think of another way! Maybe I needed your help on this one! But you can only really see them when its at eye level, you can't see them when you're sitting on the couch and the coffee table is in front of you. And thanks! :D
I agree with the previous comment. I'm loving your woodworking skills so far, and this video was pure delightness. The cleanness of your cuts, the right ammount of color/wood contrast, the joints! But those screws :( Anyways, it's still a great piece of art. You really put a lot of effort into it, congrats!
Last Minute Thoughts couple of white screw caps and jobs a goodun, not that it would really bother me. Excellent work though, enjoyed evey bit of it.
Best thing about your videos is that a lot of your tools are what most starter hobbyists can afford, there are added steps like having to scrape the burn marks etc, but you prove that it isn't about having top of the line tools to produce amazing results. Proper preparation, patience and attention to detail matter a whole lot more.
Fantastic job! Looks great.
Wow I'm in love with your work man! It is amazing! 👌 congratulations
when i first saw the thumbnail, i thought this was a @foureyesfurniture Chris Salomone piece! Definitely a compliment in my book. Strong work.
Man, that is so incredibly nice! I don't even know where to start! Bravo!
Haha thank you very much :)
LINDA !! ADOREI PARABÉNS !!! trabalho incrível.
Really nice piece of work! Love it - and your taper jig. The design is just lovely.
Thank you! :D
Well done! Appreciate your attention to detail!
Absolutely fantastic job as usual.
Amazingly beautiful!
Wow!... I thoroughly love that piece great job😉😉
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
Nice clean, simple project. Well done.
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.
Wow thank you so much! You are too kind!
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*).
Last Minute Thoughts hahahahaha it was definitely the good looks!
Ahhh thought so! Hahaha
Make Jagger Totally agree with your comment.....
Wonderful job, was a good watch on a Sunday morning. Keep up the great work.
Cheers Terry!
Another beautiful beautiful piece and a very educational. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Thank you :)
Increíblemente hermoso que buen trabajo excelente factura¡¡¡¡¡¡
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.
Looks great! Some smart clamping there.
You do good work sir. Much respect.
Beautiful design, turned out great
Nice Work! I also love your tappering jig, I'm going to make one just like it :)
FANTASTIC
Fantastic! awesome job!
Nice design, awesome work!!
I love that you let the plywood edges show.
That looks amazing !
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.
Love that coffee table
Really beautiful
Loving the channel man, nice work!
Cheers Robert!
Great! Suggestion: show the project sketches before! Congrats
Nice work. I would totally use this design as a tv console.
Genial y fácil. Desde Lebu Chile saludos
really cool design
one word: Beautiful!
You did not conceal the edge of the plywood, instead you’ve shown it’s beauty. I love it 😍
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.
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!
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
Great design!
Awesome work as usual!!
Simple but perpectly beautiful!👍😊
Very nice, well done!
Хорошая работа. Красивая мебель.
Beautiful work
excellent work, a very good finish.
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.
Great simple 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!
you are very efficient worker :) Joke a side, the furniture looks great.
Beatifull work!!!
Wow Very nice good job 👍👍👍
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!
This is beautifull. I want one piece.
This looks awesome! You got yourself a new subscriber!
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
Hahaha cheers! Appreciate it!
Congrats... Very beautifull
Nice video. No talking, no music. Just work. Thanks.
Nice! Great work!
felicidades, excelente trabajo
Nice build and a cool design! :)
Sos un genio!! Desde la patagonia argentina

gran trabajo!
Beautiful design and craftsmanship! I thoroughly enjoyed your video!! I'm taking a beginner machine woodworking class and sure this is way over my skill level :( Not sure if you would ever consider making design available, regardless I was really amazed. Great work!!!
That's beautiful
Beautiful Work
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.
Wow, great design, great filming, great editing. Keep up the great work. : )
Thanks very much!
cool design
Great Work !!!
Good clean fun!
Very nice!
