multi-purpose table using 2x4 2x6 [woodworking]

I'm a carpenter in the middle of fifties. Woodworking is far from my major job. I may stand somewhere between hobby carpenter and expert. So my skill hasn't matured fully and I make many mistakes in the videos. I hope you would forgive me generously.
A late bloomer carpenter's woodworking diary. This is the motto of my channel. I enjoy making furniture and videos. And using my leisure time I make videos and share how I make and my idea that comes to my mind. Those are sometimes childish and sometimes not too bad. What I want is you just enjoy watching one or two of my videos and fly to other channels better than mine.
I'd like to progress my woodworking skills through struggle to make furniture and videos. And I hope those can help you encouraged for woodworking.
Thanks for reading

Your work is from another star. I love to watch you doing the different connections. It looks so easy with you. My head is smoking, I would have to do it. Just fantastic.

[@j-woodworking9573]

You think highly of me. Not really.
Thanks for your encouraging comment sir.

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

What a delight to watch a true artist in action. I loved every second of this video. Made such an easy work of the tricky joints like the dovetail and the castle jopint. Bravo and thanks J.

I like the use of splines in the table top and I especially like the 3 way joints at the top of the legs. I am going to try this with my next table project. Thank you for sharing this. Excellent craftsmanship.

[@j-woodworking9573]

Yes, my real woodworking is much harder than in the videos. I omitted many procedures for simple and rapid videos. Too long and complex videos would make you skip or bored. Just joke.
Thanks for watching sir.

[@fangouelidenn5581]

Avoir la précision et le savoir faire, est utile, avoir aussi le matériel électrique… n'est pas à la portée de tous le monde. J'ai appris à utiliser une scie et ciseaux à bois, certes cette façon de faire et plus longue et laborieuse. Cela ne retire en rien le travail que j'ai vu sur cette vidéo, l'assemblage et la façon de faire me plaît… Excellent travail.
Having the precision and the know-how is useful, but also having the electrical equipment... is not within everyone's reach. I learned to use a saw and wood chisels, certainly this way of doing things is longer and more laborious. This in no way takes away from the work I saw on this video, I like the assembly and the way of doing it... Excellent work.

[@henrydiaz720]

In total agreement. I love watching the old hand work, espexially the Japanese guys but at the same time, I appreciate the modern advancements. As evidenced by my shop. 😂 I definitely have a lot of power stuff that I could get along without! A tool whore if you will.

Hello Mr. J,
Very nice, practical example of the joinery you showed in the last video. I really like the U shaped wood pieces that lock the ends in place so that no glue is needed. Thank you for sharing the video.

[@Belg1970]

Another great project video, I was hoping you might do one soon to actually show us how you get such nice tight joinery including layout tips and how to set up the saw(s) and other tools to do it. The one big thing I have already taken away from your projects is that I need to process all my stock so it is dimensionally the exact same or as close to it as I can get with my tools.

[@j-woodworking9573]

Right. That's how I work. I make cuts following the dimensions of wood that is previously processed. Penciled lines are not much meaningful. Those are just for reference.
Thanks for watching sir.

Thank you Sir, I'm older now, the crutches & wheelchair get more use, my woodwork projects get smaller in scale. But I have as much fun as I can, even in a wheelchair!

[@-pero-]

Great job, as usual!!! But I was a little disappointed that you installed the tabletop with screws, I expected a solution without the use of metal.

[@j-woodworking9573]

Sorry about that.
Thanks for watching sir.

[@TT-qo9dv]

Роман Першин I thought the same thing

[@rokpodlogar6062]

wood breathes, and screws are probably a better solution to the expansion/contraction issues. i guess you could use dowels or something.

Beautiful work!

[@j-woodworking9573]

Thanks for watching sir.

[@ahtah23]

I have been watching your beautiful works for a while. I think you put the dovetail for the length of the table towards the bottom, it would be stronger if it was towards the top. Still a very lovely piece like always.

[@j-woodworking9573]

I agree with you. I made a mistake. And I couldn't change it. Sorry about that.
