Thanks for the design. Made a 3 pc set for the sitting room. Made mine with 1" walnut and baltic birch plywood. I cheated on the base by designing on CAD and CNC routed most of the base. Looks nice, though.
Came across this older video of yours. This is from the dark ages before tag lines and the “Shaun Boyd strength test” . It’s still a cool video and nice build.
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
Dope ass table dude! You knocked it out of the park with that piece. Definitely subscribed & thumbs up. We gotta get more people to see your work. Nicely done.
Great design. I'm hoping to build a square breakfast table and like how you have the brass dowels/pegs between the legs and top. Would you mind sharing how you connect them?
Thanks, really appreciate it! The risers are just small lengths of copper pipe, so there is a long screw that runs up through them from the base and screws into the top. Hopefully that make sense.
Great video, and beautiful table. I would liked to have seen how you connected the bottom to the table top. Also like to know what types of wood you used. Looks like walnut, and is that maple of some type?
Thanks, really appreciate it! Yeah, I actually know Jory and worked for him for a bit awhile back. He was one of my first influences when I started making furniture.
How did you attach the table top to the legs? I am guessing you drilled a hole from under the legs into the bottom of the table. Then added some threaded screw anchors into the table bottom. Then bolted them together from the bottom.
@@shaunboydmadethis I hope you do (plans) as i would like to make this coffee table. I am new to woodworking and I am finding it difficult to find plans that I like.
Nice work as always. It's cool to see how your skills and style choices have changed over the last 5 years. Very inspiring. Any idea how the bow tie aged? I've heard you need to run perpendicular grain on bow ties.
A friend of mine has this table, and hasn't let me know of any problems. I wouldn't do it like this again, but for a small crack like that one, it was mostly for the aesthetic.
Thanks, really appreciate it. The table measures 48" x 24" and is about 18" tall. I don't really have exact measurements for the angles and stuff like that as I just go by what I think looks good. The customer wanted this table to be a little bit taller, so the angles for the legs became a bit steeper. Hope that helps, good luck!
Nice work. I learn many things viewing craftsman work their art. One note regarding this post - I couldn't find the audio / sound track via the link you provided - can you send a more detail URL link. Thank you for your attention.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! Honestly, it was so long ago, I don't remember the name of the specific track. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Danish Oil is a great finish and provides a bit of protection, but if I know a piece is going to get heavy use like you are saying, I often use a wiping poly finish. It still provides a somewhat natural look, but has that added bit of protection.
Hello Shaun Very beautiful table I want to make one like yours. What are the dimensions of the legs ? I like all the differents angles on your project Thanks for sharing
For both pieces there are long screws that run up through the copper tubes that connect the base to the top. For whatever reason I forgot to include that in both videos. Whoops!
Still love this coffee table, Shaun. What's the thickness of the stock you used for the legs? Think that 3/4 or 13/16 walnut would work for a smaller coffee table?
@@shaunboydmadethis Wow, 5 years after and still lending a helping hand. I’m actually thinking about making the all Baltic-Birch plywood table y’all made over on FourEyes. (The recent DIY version.) I’m going to buy SemiExact metal legs for our dining room table already, so figured I would try some walnut instead a la this video. Thanks so much to both y’all for helping a noob like myself fall in love with woodworking. If it’s not too heinous, I’ll be sure to post the results on IG and tag y’all. Cheers, be well, and happy holidays!
As far as I know, there isn't much difference except for the brand name. I use Watco just because that is what I can find locally. Thanks for watching!
Hey so I'm pretty new to wood working and I've got a question for the master: when is it necessary and unnecessary to use bread boards on a table top like this? What can be done to prevent warping with the seasons?
Haha, I don't know about master, but I'll do my best! Breadboard ends, besides just being an aesthetic choice, can also be used to help keep a tabletop flat. So if you have a huge, wide table, they might be a good idea. As far as making sure the ends don't mess with the rest of the table through the seasons, you need to attach them in a way that allows the main part of the table top to expand and contract independent of the breadboard ends. This is because wood moves more dramatically across the grain than it does length-wise. There are many ways to attach breadboard ends, so I won't go into that here, but that is the jist of it. Hope it helps!
Shaun Boyd thanks for your response! If I'm understanding you correctly, bread board ends aren't necessary on projects smaller than a wide kitchen table since the expansion will be minimal?
Honestly, for me it is almost totally an aesthetic choice. I just made a pair of 36" wide farmhouse tables, and didn't put breadboard ends on them, and I am not too concerned about the top warping without them. But in theory, you are correct. The wider a table top is, the more opportunity there is for it to warp or bow, so breadboard ends are a way to minimize that.
I think the walnut insert butterfly type, the grain is in the wrong direction. The direction of placement is right but the direction of the gran in which the insert has been cut is wrong. It won’t give any strength to the crack. But not very sure cus I can’t see properly the insert. Beside that a beautiful piece or art.
Yep, you are correct. It was one of those things where I finished it, and then went oh crap, can't believe I did that. The crack isn't very substantial though, and it was more cosmetic than anything, so I left it and decided I would replace it if it ever failed. Been a couple years now and it is still is intact. Thanks for watching!
Incredible work. Love the style. I'm totally ripping off the legs for my next project. The music is killing me.
Thanks for watching!
Looks great and extra points for the Corgi.
Thanks, really appreciate it! Hopefully I can convince him to make another appearance soon.
love it, the profile, soft edges, contrasting top...outstanding.
I thought I left that type of furniture in my youth. Hated it. Now I don't know why, so nice!
Haha, that might be my favorite comment on this video. Glad I could help change your mind, thanks for watching!
Would love to see this design enlarged to a dining room table!
Yeah, I have been waiting for the opportunity to do a dining table version. Hopefully I can do it sometime soon.
I love it. The detail of the inlaid Walnut bowtie is super sharp
Thanks, Annette! I appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed watching.
Music was dope - Almost as dope as the build. Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I often think the music I choose is way better than the video it is playing over, so I appreciate it!
Thanks for the design. Made a 3 pc set for the sitting room. Made mine with 1" walnut and baltic birch plywood. I cheated on the base by designing on CAD and CNC routed most of the base. Looks nice, though.
Right on, that's awesome! If you have a CNC, might as well use it!
Came across this older video of yours. This is from the dark ages before tag lines and the “Shaun Boyd strength test” . It’s still a cool video and nice build.
Haha, thanks for going way back in the archives. Those were simpler times.
Beauty. I need to build one of these!
Manual transmission...I knew I liked you for a reason! Nice coffee table.
Haha, thanks! It is all I have ever driven, would feel weird owning an automatic.
Very good music in background
Nice looking table! I like the angle on the edges of the table top.
Thanks, Bruce! Really appreciate it.
Beautifully done😊❤
Absolutely amazing table. I am designing a coffee table for my shop class anf I absolutely love those colors.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Shaun, it turned out beautiful. Thanks for making educational video.
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Need to post some plans for this in addition to the other awesome stuff you have done!
Yeah, it is still on the list. Not sure when I will find the time to do it, hopefully at some point.
Nice!
Dig the jointer/planer combo.
Thanks! Yeah, I love that little machine!
SICK. I want to make one like this
Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Desde Argentina. Saludos

Thank you, really appreciate it! The top is attached with four long screws that go up through the copper risers. And yes, it is Walnut and Hard Maple.
As a woodworker, I love this table!
As a former dj, I hate this song.
A little late to the game, but love the walnut legs and accent strip. I see a little Jory Brigham influence in this one. Cheers!

Yeah, the grain needs to run perpendicular to the length of the bowtie. If that split begins to grow it will very likely split the bowtie.
no build plans for this one? i see you got some on your site for the matching end table, and the spider table, not this one?
Nope, sorry. Never made plans for this one, unfortunately.
Hey bro I just loved it, fantabulous
I really want to make it, Can I get the all exact measurements to make it perfect
Thanks, really appreciate it. The table measures 48" x 24" and is about 18" tall. I don't really have exact measurements for the angles and stuff like that as I just go by what I think looks good.

Very very nice! Do you think that Danish Oil is sufficient as a table finish? I love the look & feel, but worried about coffee, alcohol spills, etc.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! Danish Oil is a great finish and provides a bit of protection, but if I know a piece is going to get heavy use like you are saying, I often use a wiping poly finish. It still provides a somewhat natural look, but has that added bit of protection.
Why are you "worried" about someone else's table?

Hello Shaun
Very beautiful table
I want to make one like yours. What are the dimensions of the legs ?
I like all the differents angles on your project Thanks for sharing
Thanks, really appreciate it! The legs are approximately 15" tall on this table, and they are at about a 105 degree angle from the horizontal piece.
Thanks
Nice work!
What jointer/planer combo is that? Doesn't look like any I've seen before, but I'd love something like that in my shop.
It is a Makita 2030, probably from the early 80's. It is a great little machine, especially if you are tight on space. Thanks for watching!
Question, does the top rest there by gravity ? Same question for the side table. The top is resting on 4 tubes! thanks!
For both pieces there are long screws that run up through the copper tubes that connect the base to the top. For whatever reason I forgot to include that in both videos. Whoops!
Shaun Boyd haha ok. I was thinking about that!
Still love this coffee table, Shaun. What's the thickness of the stock you used for the legs? Think that 3/4 or 13/16 walnut would work for a smaller coffee table?
Thanks! I think for this particular table, I probably started with 5/4, so the legs ended up around an inch thick or slightly under.

Hi, really nice job. Do you have plans available? Thanks
Thanks Fabrice! No, unfortunately I don't have plans for this piece.
Beautiful table; any chance of getting plans for this?
Thanks! I don't have plans for this particular piece, unfortunately. But it is one I might potentially add in the future.
Shaun-thanks for getting back to me; if you do decide to do plans, could you let me know? Thanks
Is there different types of Danish Oil? If so what are you using here? Awesome and beautiful video
As far as I know, there isn't much difference except for the brand name. I use Watco just because that is what I can find locally. Thanks for watching!
Shaun Boyd thank you for Quick answer 👌🏼
At what degree are table legs? Great table BTW...!
Thanks! Hmm, not totally sure. Maybe 5 or 10 degrees from 90, or somewhere around there.
this is nice)

can u please privide measurements of this table?
Top!👏👏

Hi Shaun Boyd
Nice table and can you tell me what kind of the oil you used for finishing this table?
Many thank
Really appreciate it! This table was finished with a few coats of Danish Oil.
Shaun Boyd Thank you for share with me this information. Have a good day!
I just bought that old delta table saw you have in this video! Have yet to rip on it yet, how was your experience with it?
It was a great saw to get started on, though it definitely had its limitations.
I think the walnut insert butterfly type, the grain is in the wrong direction. The direction of placement is right but the direction of the gran in which the insert has been cut is wrong.

How did you attach those little riser blocks, Shauny?
Just a long screw from below the stretchers up through the copper riser and into the table top.
@@shaunboydmadethis Cool, thanks bud : )
How did you get the shape for the legs? Was it made free hand or from a template?
I made an MDF template free hand first, so I could duplicate the leg shape 4 times.
Hi Shaun, awesome table! what wood did you use?
Thanks! The base and the dark strip in the top are walnut and the light wood is hard maple.
hello that wood you use for this table greetings walter from patagonia argentina
It is Walnut and Hard Maple. Thanks for watching!
What did you use to make the holes for the pegs, I’ve never seen it before
It is the Festool Domino.

I'm curious how the top is secured? did you glue the round pieces ?
No, there are long screws that run up through the copper risers and into the bottom of the table top. Forgot to include that part in the video.
@@shaunboydmadethis Thank you! I love the design! I recently built a coffee table -
ckwoodworking.com
very nice job.... what is the type of this wood..?
Thank you! The top is Hard Maple and Walnut, and the base is Walnut.
@@shaunboydmadethis thank you and good luck.
What method did you use for the rounded edges on everything? Just sanding?
I used a router with a roundover bit, then cleaned it up with sanding.
@@shaunboydmadethis looks good! 1/8th inch or smaller?
I think for the legs on this one it is a 1/4" roundover.
The table is dope but the sample you chose for the audio isn't in time. Kind of distracting for an Audiophile :)
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. I'll try to keep the audiophiles in mind from now on.
Thought I was the only one who noticed! It's super annoying. Had to mute :)
Shaun Boyd I liked the music!
Right on, glad you liked it!
Where do you buy the spacers between the legs and the top?
They are just copper pipe couplers, so you should be able to find them at most hardware stores or a plumbing supply store.
@@shaunboydmadethis how exactly did you fasten everything with those couplers?
Can you believe this was almost three years ago?
Haha, it's crazy. Sometimes I miss the garage years.
Shaun Boyd simpler times I bet
What thickness are your boards?
Can't exactly remember what I used for this piece, but I probably started with 5/4 or 6/4 lumber.
What kind of router are you using?
It is an old Porter-Cable Model 100. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
