You're so unique Drew, from not cheesy jokes and honestly funny outtakes, to the heartwarming tributes to your parents and grand parents. Nostalgia is so underrated nowadays, and you're doing a great job sharing it in your videos. A pleasure to watch
I absolutely agree. I watch tons of videos concerning wood working, metal works, DIY'ers doing plumbing or electrical work and it's a rarity anyone mentions who they "learned" how to do this or that. My father would notice a neighbor building something in the backyard and he'd grab me and say we're going over to Mr. Smith's house o watch him build a dog house. When I asked why, he'd say you can ALWAYS learn from any tradesman. It's free education. I learned a lot from their skill as well as their mistakes; but most of all I learned about life.
Drew you are without a doubt my favorite UA-cam woodworker. You paying homage to your dad or specifically your grandfather (flathead screw). Also your own dorky jokes. Such a great pleasure watching you in action.
This brought back so many memories for me. My grandparents had a ping pong table when I was a little kid. We played on that all the time, either in the back yard, on the lanai (as my grandma used to call it) by the pool or in the garage if it was raining. As the youngest, I got beat by my older brothers all the time, Even my grandma wouldn't just let us win, we had to earn it. My grandpa on the other hand, was more forgiving. So, so many wonderful memories from my childhood playing ping pong. You did an incredible job designing this table and putting it together. The maiden voyage, as it were, of folding it out put a huge smile on my face. I love your style, Drew. I wish I could be your neighbor. I'd buy a bunch of wood just to see what you'd make next.
Awesome design! This would make a great roll away table for game night, or big holiday family dinners. I could see widening the cross supports so when its folded for storage it could double as a display self. ... I see another project in my future.
Man, rarely have I taken such a huge pleasure from any kind of DIY. You americans are masters of wood craftsmanship, possesing all the tools needed and using them always with safety measures taken
This is an ingeniously constructed ping pong table. Truly. Your humor, honesty, and straightforward descriptions of what you're doing help the viewers connect with you and see themselves in your shoes, building this themselves and likely making the same or similar "oh crap" mistakes. I am going to get these plans, and revel in the looks of anguish and defeat as I crush, err instruct my children, in ping pong. Hehehe. Thank you for yet another informative and creative project that we can enjoy with our friends and family.
This is the nicest looking ping pong table i have ever seen and the folding mechanism is great. By far my most favorite feature though, is the addition of your grandfathers single brass flathead screw.
I admit I bought our table that received many years of use (and abuse!) for my sons and I to play, but watching you put yours together is inspiring. I hope you build years of memories with your family with the pride that you built it from the inspiration contained within your own memories as a child.
Another Fisher masterpiece!!! I love that you incorporated the flathead screw from your grandfather into the build. I'm sure he is smiling down on you each time you do that! Admit it......you son won the game didn't he? You have such a nice family!
Your neighbors MUST really love you so much. Invite them over to play and see what their plywood turned into. Also love the single flat head for your grandpa.
@@FishersShop My pleasure! And Thank YOU for all the quality content you've made over the years! Aw-inspiring and really helped ignite my passion for creativity in the wood realm! Putting together my shop soon and a lot of what you've presented will inspire and influence what I'll be doing with that space.
@@FishersShop Your Legos model was most impressive, not everyone can drive a bunch of plastic pieces like you . . . that was as ingenius as your table design, or more so.
I think you made a wonderful ping pong table that will make a lot of memories for your family. It's also helpful to make family time plus when your kids have their friends over. Thank you for sharing this with me 🤔
I snorted so much at your little wisecracks that my wife asked me if I had covid. What a cool design idea! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting them out there.
I will definitely be buying the plans. What a great project for the family! Thank you for putting all your dadness (puns, mess ups, and hilarity) in your videos
Your vid made me smile when I saw you and your son play. Reminded me of when I was a kid and how much fun that was! Also those walnut ‘lines’ are so gorgeous. Thanks!
Great design, Drew~! My wife and I were just talking about ping pong today and here's this video. I might just have to take this on. Used to have so much fun as a kid playing others at our neighborhood pool where we had a table. Thanks much~!
Hope all is well, quick question. I finished the Ping Pong table project. Your video and written instructions were very helpful. I took a picture to show you but can’t figure out how to send a snap shot. Any suggestions? Take care
Just bought the plans for this so I can modify it to make an outfeed table for my tiny shop. I just have to make it so that the top is higher when open and it does not need to be as big. I have been trying to figure out how to give myself plenty of outfeed table space without taking up most of the one car garage (which I have to share with my wife's car). Now I can break down full sized sheets of plywood a lot safer.
Drew, another home run dude!. I love your videos and the creativity of your projects. I actually went straight to UA-cam as soon as I got to my desk this morning to see if this was live yet! Best 15 min of my workday so far. Lol. Nicely done!
Love the build! Awesome to see the family involved as well. One of these days we are going to witness the fishing hat wearing, double eye staring, neighbor of yours giving you a life lesson over your neighborly fence. It probably be about the pesky squirrels who often carry off his surplus lumber staged for projects he has around his house.
I really wish you had your own channel on DIY network, it's entertaining, funny, informational, and you make us all feel we can make a ping pong table even with rubber bands and a screwdriver
Beautiful job on the table build and design Drew. We had a Ping Pong table that folded up when I was young, but nothing as nice as this. Lots of memories playing on it with family and friends.
Hi Drew, I was about to type a comment about the missing flat head screw... but what can I say. This video has everything: fine humor, neighbourly misconduct, tapperoos and flat head screw. As always a joy to watch! Best Regards, Daniel
Hey a really like your videos. Regarding the salt tipp on the glue up. Every wood glue has some waiting time before pressing the pieces together (Normally ~3 Minutes). You just wait until the corners start to try. Then you press and the slipping of the pieves is over as well. Salt does change the behavior of the glue (regarding the manrfacturer) Plus you get the best adhesion results. Take a look onto the glue packaging, you should find your "open wait time" there. Titebond for example has an open time of 5 minutes before pressing (which most wood workers won't wait)
Great Job Drew and nice design! Those are the original hand eye coordination toys...played so much when I was a kid and rocks were forming...even got 6 stitches diving for a ball in a hot game. Had one in my family when the kids were growing up and Still play when I can and my gitalongs haven't run off...always with my patented bad boy serve. ;-P Love the Grandpa references and family fun. Just the best to you and your family! Hat Tip, ~PJ
Hola! 🖐 This is by far the coolest and best looking table I have seen. What a great build, good job. My sons are all adults now but we all love to play ping pong and I think that this project will be on the To Build List ASAP!!! Great video, take care and have a good one. Adios! 👊
I just re-watched this video, though this time my wife sat through it with me. She laughed til she cried at the salt joke. When she saw you making the trim using the walnut, she said “mmm. Unnecessary walnut.” lol Thanks, as always, for another entertaining video. For my own sake, I’m not showing her your laundry room remodel videos.
This is a fabulous project! I played countless hours of ping pong on my grandfather's table. Just might have to make my own! Thank you very much for this video.

I wanna build one, But, does your neighbor have any wood left?
Drew you are without a doubt my favorite UA-cam woodworker. You paying homage to your dad or specifically your grandfather (flathead screw). Also your own dorky jokes. Such a great pleasure watching you in action.
Thanks, Michael!
It turned out perfect! I like that you incorporated "a nod to your grandfather."
That brass slotted screw was nearly the best part of the video.
This is the most I have enjoyed a woodworking video in a long time. Thank you for creating this work of art.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This brought back so many memories for me.

Haha, thanks! :)
I could see this as a lightweight work table for my shop. I could also see it being used as a platform for a model railroad.
or a table for wargaming
I like the 2A artwork in the background of the father - son game! I knew there was a reason I liked you so much!
Awesome design! This would make a great roll away table for game night, or big holiday family dinners.
I could see widening the cross supports so when its folded for storage it could double as a display self.
... I see another project in my future.
That would be cool!
There are few things consistent in the world - one of them being Drew's ability to somehow put walnut and flatheads into his projects
Man, rarely have I taken such a huge pleasure from any kind of DIY. You americans are masters of wood craftsmanship, possesing all the tools needed and using them always with safety measures taken
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
My favorite part was the flat head screw under your brand. Sweet touch and classic Fisher’s Shop build.
Thanks Janet
Drew you've done it again!
Thanks, Zach! :)
Fancy!
The Flathead screw was the perfect touch!
Man you're a woodworking expert ,that is a beautiful and practical design
Thank you very much!

Thanks, Terri
You have the best woodworking channel on UA-cam. Love the personal and many times hilarious details!
Thanks 👍
I have searched the net and bye far this is the most innovative ping pong table out there I will be purchasing the plans thank you
Have fun building!
That folding mechanism is awesome! Legos are highly underappreciated as usable woodworking tools 😁
Totally agree!

i like that you chose the 3/4" plywood vs trying to scale up the lego's ;) Love your videos, and am so glad I have a few to watch tonight.
I have to tell you, best woodworking channel around! Great build as always.
Thanks 👍
Great design, Drew~! My wife and I were just talking about ping pong today and here's this video. I might just have to take this on. Used to have so much fun as a kid playing others at our neighborhood pool where we had a table. Thanks much~!

Thanks a bunch!
@@FishersShop of course! I’m a sucker for creative/genius engineering. Never would have thought to have one store that way. Love it.
That's awesome! I love the way the dark walnut and bright plywood looks.
Me too!
@@FishersShop great job!

Thanks, Aaron!

Thanks, Bob
That is an awesome tribute to your grandfather!!! Billiard table next!?!?!
Thanks! :) I think I'll stick to ping pong
Now that's a mighty fine looking folding table. Looks and sounds super crisp, I love projects like this.
Thanks, Adam
That is an awesome looking table!!! I'll make sure to remember to come back to this video the next time my neighbors do some renovations!!!
Haha, thanks!

Drew is both a comic, and a woodworking genius.
I love the nod to grandpa with the flat head screw.
Very cool Mr. Fisher! Love how you get the family involved.
Thanks 👍
Thank you Brother I appreciate your videos keep it up. I love the tribute to your grandfather
Thank you, I will

It’s amazing! The way it folds up into a cool shape and can be stowed away!!! Love it and appreciate the home videos
Glad you enjoy it!
Love it Drew...and you get to spend some fun times with your son 😀
Yup! And it's been awesome! Thanks, Andy!! :)
Great project. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Thanks 👍

Hehe, thanks Bruce!
My son loves your wall art.
Haha, that's all my boy's. He's taken over the basement. :)
Wow! Another awesome build. Thank you for sharing sir!
You bet
great build video and wonderful "family history fun" that triggered some Grandpa memories of my own. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job 🙏👍. Thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Excited to see a new Fisher's Shop video. Thumbs up before I even watched it!
Excellent presentation.. Enjoyed this very much... also, I love ping pong.. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Menudo trabajo de precisión....... Enhorabuena, congratulations
You are amazing, Drew. This table looks so cool, my friend. And once again, you talked us through the entire build
Thanks, Felix
Glad you liked it! Thanks, Felix! And thanks for your support
One of my favorite builds you have done yet! I will build this one day lol
Go for it!
Good looking table, I really like the idea of the different wood for the lines.
Thank you very much!
Probably my favorite project yet. Such a great idea!
Thanks, Matt

Glad you like it!
Awesome table
Thanks!
This is awesome! Like the contract in the top and the trim pieces and the mechanism seems to work great! love this!

What a great video! Heartwarming and a real cool design. Thanks Drew
Glad you liked it!
Great build.
Thanks
Sweet table. Years of fun for you and your son. I was waiting for you to slam the ball at him. Nice ending.
Such a truly amazing design Drew! And the ending is all I could have hoped for and more!
Haha, I knew you'd like that
Thanks for a great video!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice build.
