I somehow missed this build. I like the airiness and openness of this table. Only thing I’d do different is ditch the live edge. I never like a live edge but that’s a me thing. Nicely done.
Watched this video many times then built the table. My first try at furniture and it came out fine (so far). Thank you for taking the time to show how you made the table. Good luck.
Re: Levelling - depends on having flat level floors, which is rare in old properties like mine. What say leave the legs slightly over length then put in desired location and level with wedges before scribing from the floor and cutting to length?
Great design. The only thing I would do differently is to extend the bottom shelf to where the two short vertical pieces are located on the upper stretcher. It would still give you that same feel of open space but with a little more functionality.
I'm another one who's got the Emergency Room on speed dial. I often do sketchup design, but don't do too much detail. I like to to full size dwgs and then let the grain and color of the wood have some say in what happens. Design/build on the fly keeps things from looking "generic". So does planned irregularity. Thanks, hope your thumb heals up quickly!
Emergency department, trauma physician and woodworker here from Wisconsin. Would be happy to give some perspective on shop injuries I've seen and injury management. Best wishes.
Yeah !!! Finally a real woodworking video from Katz-Mozes to start the year with inspiration.Very well made furniture,have a beautiful and safe year !!!
A lovely table. Delicate and elegant. I do have a suggestion though, I'm a Tool and Die Maker by trade and we use the "shoulder" of a vernier to measure steps and slots. It's far more positive than using the depth blade. The slide and top of the vernier are ground flush, so when you open it the step created is the same as the distance between the jaws. Works a treat for setting your combination square. Sorry 'bout your thumb brother.
I always regret not sanding enough when I make something that has a lot of corners and sides, I find a scraper is great for getting it smooth right to the corners. Happy New Years
I do all my sanding before glue-up now and even before cutting into smaller pieces if possible, like when cutting sheets. Leaves mostly touch-up sanding at the end.
Great design. Since you asked, I think I would have left the bark on (I love walnut bark in cross section) by saturating it with thin CA which makes it super strong. I do that on turned natural edged bowls. Always gotta be some d-bags that give a thumbs down. It baffles me.
Great looking table Jonathan. I'm glad you're facing the jointer head on again... And the image of John Malecki doing ballet is not emblazoned in my brain.
A delicate piece. Very nice build. As the slab did fit thru your planer you could have leveled it on a plane sled and then put it through. Excellent result no matter how you got there,
John Malecki in a ballet competition!!! Jonathan, f'ing hysterical, you won the internet today. I always wonder which of my UA-cam woodworking heroes know each other; I guess this answers that question.
Awesome build. I think every video i watch of yours, I become more and more jealous of your shop/abilities/tools...everything. Keep cranking out the great content!
Things I would do differently....... err, Number 1 would be: Don't joint your thumb!! 😁 To soon? LOL I love how this table looks and using those feet and screwing them in tighter and looser to remove the wobble is a brilliant solution. It also means that if the table twist any more over time, you have a fix for it built in already. Defenitly something to remember. Happy New Year everyone 👍
Very nice results, Johnathan. The satin finish is perfect for the project. I think that years down the road people will be able to place a lot of furniture into an era of "live edge" design. It may last a couple of decades as a prominent design element and then be used as a "period" element. Coffee tables were made with a live edges back in the fifties though many used a more rustic leg design, now we see finely crafted frames with live edge tops. I prefer the latter. The design can fit into any design flow.
Where do you get rough sawn lumber? Would be awesome to see a video from you on tips and techniques for how/where to source material that will give you the most bang for your buck. Appreciate the awesome videos!! 👍👍
Great table. I love that the skirt boards are down from the top. I will have to replay the "wonky drinking game" next time I have a scotch from my radio bar!
I have a cherry live edge slab with a very similar size and shape as you walnut slab that I'm going to build a console table with. I've been struggling with the design. You've given me some good ideas on where to go with it. Beautiful table.
Johnathan, next time partner with a local sandblaster to clean up the 'live' edge of your slabs. if he/she's experienced they'll apply a rubber masking to the surfaces and only work the edge - you'll maintain a more natural edge appearance than scraping and sanding....
BTW, did you know that you can also use the step on the head of the caliper like you used the depth rod on the end? It works even better when you’re setting two parallel surfaces like your square. The depth rod works best with holes.
Not to take away from any empathy for JKM but pretty sure this video was filmed prior to that accident. Edit, maybe no all of it, there is a Band-Aid on the thumb come 7:00. I just figured the comment about trying to squeeze this in before Christmas (~5:30) would have made it the project he had in the buffer during the accident video
Is there a video of the planter holder to the left of the table? Or at least pics to see how you put it together? It looks great with the table. Keep up the great work! Thanks
Nice build. Started my year off (yesterday) by ordering a JKM stop block, dovetail jig and saw. Now I have to build a new tablesaw sled and learn how to cut dovetails! :)
Great job (as always!) .... Wondering if it wouldn’t have been easier to trim the TOP of two legs where they attach to the plank top to compensate for the warp and keep from inducing stresses in the base structure? My concern is that sustained stresses over time on the joints can cause failure. Another approach would be to rout co-planar mortises into the bottom surface of the top where the legs attach ... that can be accomplished using a router jig similar to that used to flatten a slab surface. Happy New Year to you!
Very elegant. I’ve made quite a few live edge tables and have been coming to the opinion that it’s generally a lazy technique, but your piece is first class
Thank you so much for the video. This looks amazing! I'm going to attempt fiddling with this design for a small writing/bill paying desk. Hope that finger is on the mend! Kindly.
Sad to say, now we have matching scars. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving this year I put my thumb right into my bandsaw. Home alone, had to get myself to the ER while trying to keep my cool, get a mask on, and well, not bleed all over everything... Scary stuff. Stay safe everyone!!!
I'm a bit confused about the grain direction for the legs. 60-90 degrees is typically called quarter sawn or vertical grain. Riff sawn can have end grain as much as 30 degrees and will expand corner to corner. Is the idea with the diagonal grain that all 4 faces should present with straight-ish face grain? I always assumed vertical grain would be the most stable for legs. Have I been doing it wrong all this time?
Love your videos, love your dovetail guide and I echo the sentiments of kiln dried lumber. All solar powered with good airflow and no electricity other than constantly circulating fans on hardwood stickers 🙏
I'm trying to make a table with record storage underneath. Seeing this, I may actually do some kind of live edge top. I've got a ton of white oak in the garage. I'm pretty sure I can do this fairly easily. Great work, man. Hope that thumb heals up fast.
I am looking to do this build but do not have a domino. I want to do mortise and tenon with maybe an 1/8th reveal on the ends. How would I handle the 90 degree joints if I wanted to do the mortise and tenon on the ends? Would I make the side supports go through the front support tenon with another mortise in the front support tenon, so in a sense the side support goes into the front support/ If that makes sense...
Jonathan, what you said casually about kiln-dried lumber blew my mind. I've been woodworking for a couple years not and I've absolutely noticed that problem, especially when resawing or jointing/planing the heck out of kiln-dried. Do you have any advice on how to prevent that, or do you mostly use completely air-dried boards?
Just picked up a stop block, I saw Bourbon Moths cross cut sled build. Love this video and especially when you sat down at the end and went over all the details. Happy new year man, keep it up!
Jonathan, thank you for the video, beautiful piece. I still don't understand how you have accounted for the wood movement of the top. I understand the domino slot is over sized in the leg but then it is glued. So any wood movement will try take the legs with it until something gives. Am I missing something?
The domino's are oriented the same way. Although it doesn't matter in this piece (or as much as people say it does) because of the size. Wood movement is so over hyped. I've NEVER had a problem with a piece coming apart.
Like the base of the table nice design Not like the majority you see with the metal legs. Spend all that time on a beautiful top and then put square stock underneath dont figure . Again great job nice design

I've got your dovetail guide and your apron and by far are the most helpful things I've added to my shop. Thank you
I really appreciate it bud
@@tonyimperial5323 Same! I think I have nearly everything he sells now. I gave 2 of the aprons as gifts to my father and brother, and they loved them!
My guy!
Can you make more small furniture builds in this video's style.
I use the same rubber feet and just add a thin washer where needed to level out the piece of furniture.
I somehow missed this build. I like the airiness and openness of this table. Only thing I’d do different is ditch the live edge. I never like a live edge but that’s a me thing. Nicely done.
Watched this video many times then built the table. My first try at furniture and it came out fine (so far). Thank you for taking the time to show how you made the table. Good luck.
Did you use something else in place of dominos?
Re: Levelling - depends on having flat level floors, which is rare in old properties like mine. What say leave the legs slightly over length then put in desired location and level with wedges before scribing from the floor and cutting to length?
Good to see you back in action even after that scary injury.
Great design. The only thing I would do differently is to extend the bottom shelf to where the two short vertical pieces are located on the upper stretcher. It would still give you that same feel of open space but with a little more functionality.
That looks amazing, gives me Japanese vibes
John Maleki in a ballet competition... 😂😂😂 that’s an image isn’t it haha
So f*ing funny
Yeah, I laughed pretty hard at that mental image. I give it a week before Malecki references or fulfills that on here.
No kidding 😂
@@alanr745 I expect much assclownery or squirrelliness in that.
That's definitely wonky
Awesome tip using the caliper depth gauge to set the square exactly.
It's beautiful. I like how the legs are not big and bulky.

just bought myself that awesome apron, your content is very well made and I hope that thumb heals up nice, keep up the amazing work.
This came out great. I would love to see a dedicated video for the different methods of connecting a table top
New title idea "Nubby Stumps" . Thanks for ideas . Good timing , need a similar table for entrance . Thanx
Jonathan thanks for the finishing tutorial. I am not finding a link to the HVLP kit you mentioned. Would you please post it.
Maestro con todo mis respetos. Fue un gran projecto. Me encanto. Felicidades y happy new year..
Gratsi!
Well done man! Have you been working out? Arms are looking ripped!
That is a beautiful piece of furniture.
It's reassuring to see you using the same planer that I recently purchased. Let's me know that I made a good choice.
I love this table! It is a perfect design for the space as well.
Beautiful table.
Great looking table Jonathan. I'm glad you're facing the jointer head on again... And the image of John Malecki doing ballet is not emblazoned in my brain.
Hyy friend 🙏🤝🤝🇮🇩
Lovely work Jon, it's an elegant design. Hope your thumb heals back with super powers!
A delicate piece. Very nice build. As the slab did fit thru your planer you could have leveled it on a plane sled and then put it through. Excellent result no matter how you got there,
Welcome to 2021, I'm glad you survived 2020, I know it wasn't a smooth year for you. Looking forward to seeing more from you in 2021
Love the look of that table, it's nice and minimal and complements the space nicely.
John Malecki in a ballet competition!!! Jonathan, f'ing hysterical, you won the internet today.

Seems like a lot of work for something so easy to do yourself.
BTW, did you know that you can also use the step on the head of the caliper like you used the depth rod on the end? It works even better when you’re setting two parallel surfaces like your square. The depth rod works best with holes.
I noticed both sides of the table top floating tenon was glued in. Does wood glue allow for small movement without losing strength?
Superb table
Glad to see you building again. It's been a while.
Great table J. I like the slim look on the base and the centered shelf.
Great table mate. Might copy it for my entry hallway. Greetings.
Absolutely gorgeous, and you're right about the satin lacquer another top notch build
Definitely going in the DIY folder
Thumbs up
Glad you're back in the sawhorse! Looks awesome
Glad to see you're ok after that injury and still getting in there man. Great video as always

@@Pallet_Town_woodworks Yeah I was too quick to comment. But take note JKM, we're watching you closely 😄
Outstanding work and design.
Beautiful piece...I think I see a new entry table about to take shape in my wood shop:)
Mine too!!
Question Jonathan?
How are the figure 8 tabs hooking to the top if they are an inch below on the apron? I am referring to the plans
Is there a video of the planter holder to the left of the table? Or at least pics to see how you put it together? It looks great with the table. Keep up the great work! Thanks

Beautiful furniture!!! Loved your explanations during the process of the build. Take care and be safe
Beautiful table. Thanks for sharing
Great video and really nice table!!! modern meets live edge!!!!
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring!
Beautiful table! Two whole (for now) thumbs up. Hope mine stay that way!
Stunning video production and shots! Amazing
I'm still waiting for that day when I'll find walnut scraps in my shop 😂
