Mid-Century Modern Live Edge Coffee Table

- Please enjoy this video of a live edge coffee table that I built on commission for a customer! Shot and edited in the Diresta style, this video details the construction of a cherry coffee table using bowties for stability and mortise and tenon construction. Drawing upon the mid-century modern style, I'm betting this piece will find a welcome place in its new home! Thanks for watching!
Amazing craftsmanship and beautiful design! Thanks!
So jealous of the amount of amazing machines you have!
Da51lva it took quite a while to build up the collection. Some people buy motorcycles, but I like heavy machinery!
Nice work mate, those bow ties are never letting go that's for sure
One Man Band Woodworking thanks! That's definitely the plan!
Turned out really nice. Even having to use those second rate festools.
You sir are not messing around, that is a serious table. Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing your work.
49cfr thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wonderful design, build and results!
digimikek I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks!!
Love the way you made those bow-ties , fast and uniform . very good looking table .
Joseph Brauer thank you for the positive feedback! I appreciate it!
I love your legs. I'm actually over in Centreville so it's cool to see someone local doing aspirational work
very nice, cool and clean
Yes, that was a treat to watch.
Stewart McManus thank you so much!
Stewart McManus That table is RIGHT.
Amazing craftsmanship ! Congrats.
Marcus M. Thank you so much! I definitely treat the customers piece as if it were my own.
I couldn't tell where you were going, but man, you really got there!
Stephen Reed thanks for sticking through to the end of the video. Hopefully it was entertaining/useful! I really appreciate the feedback!
Whoa - impressive job!
David Kives thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Very nice work. Thanks for the video
CheapChizzlinMooch thanks! Hopefully my video skills will improve over time!
Nice Project Dan! I really like the way you shaped the legs.
GuysWoodshop thanks! I actually tested out the look of the legs half way through the bandsaw work, and then decided to thin it down a bit. In the end, I think it captured the mid-century modern look pretty well. Thanks again!
Beautiful work!
JDCD Design I appreciate the feedback!
....WOW....well done....!!!!
Stoic13ca thanks! Glad you liked it!
very nice table I'm working on a simaler project and a few of the things you did will help me finish my project easier and faster thanks for sharing.
Rocco Sagarese great to hear that the video was helpful!
Really good. I wish I had some of your kit!
Adam Mellick thanks! I've acquired a bit at a time, and upgraded only after I determined that the tool was important to my work.
WOW! That was outstanding! Going to try and make a couple coffee tables this spring, I can only hope they turn out half as nice 👍
Smoke eater thank you! I'm sure they'll turn out great!
Woodbridge Workshop I hope, I have a bunch of walnut that should be dry enough soon, I don't want to mess it up. I'm thinking about trying a few times with other wood first. Still learning but teaching myself and watching You tube is pretty helpful👍
Smoke eater that's how I learned! A bunch of 2x4's (and some Home Depot poplar) and UA-cam!
Woodbridge Workshop I need to work on attaching the top to the base so it won't warp with humidity changes, that's definitely a weak spot
great build. the legs really set this apart from other slab tables.
Andrew Romano thanks! That was definitely my favorite part as well. There was just enough splay to the legs without sacrificing strength, while keeping to the style of the build. I appreciate the comment!
Well done!!!
Dessert Man thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
It's crazy how fast he moves.
All thanks to the power of Apple!
Table is awesome, but really jealous of your tool collection.
Wood and Block thank you! Paraphrasing a podcast I listen to, it's my clubhouse(!)... so I might as well put fun stuff in it!
lol... I like that. Hey if my wife didn't force to come home for dinner I probably wouldn't. my shop is my favorite place.
Wood and Block - Hi - Once a Festool man, always a Festool man!!!! Should I be using the word "man"? Festool equipment: just magnificent.
Just a nice job.
Barry H. Thank you! I appreciate the comment!
That was awesome. I got very lost when you were cutting the legs. I don't know how you kept track of what cut to make next. I'm definitely subscribing.
zzzACE73 zzz definitely a bit of work to keep the cuts straight, but honestly, the hardest part was making sure that I kept track of which leg was which.. never sand off the pencil mark!
nice one!
Excellent...
Cheers...
Adam Quincey thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
it is indeed a treat for the eyes
mriganka sinha thank you so much!
Très beau bravo
Awesome build, thanks for sharing! I am bit concerned that the plate will warp in the future. A sliding dovetail connection with the stand could prevent this. But you are obviously way more experienced, what's your experience?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there. Great work. What kind of bit do you use to rout out the bowtie pockets?
nice work
Crazy Timber thank you!
I like the way you did the bow ties, I don’t know why people would want to hand chisel those in when you can use a router
Greg Marshall they also allow you to be consistent. That plus the added efficiency!
Tks. Lot of nice techni
Tung Le Anh thank you! I appreciate the feedback!
Bomb-diggidy-dooda!!!
Lyn C glad you liked it!
Nice
you sir, are a genius great legs
john lim thank you!
Festool Everything!!! damnnnnnnnnnnn son
Joe Wells Festool certainly makes a great product, but there are cheaper tools that can do similar work. I find the real value of Festool being the dust collection. That feature makes it worth it to me. Thanks!
Very nice table. What is the angle of the legs?
good stuff!
question what is the reasoning of hand planing the top after putting it through the planer?
kRizm that was actually a double drum sander. It has 80 and 120 grit loaded, which makes it great for surface prep and limited thicknessing, but it's not made to flatten a top on this scale (though I probably could have if I was willing to burn through some serious sandpaper). You could use winding sticks to mark the high spots but this was way quicker and more accurate!
He seems very energetic
Hi , nice vid. a quick question. what's the advantage of hand plainning after you have put through the planning machine ?
Probably not big enough.
Awesome looking table. You should make more videos!
What was that attachment you had on your grinder at 1:37?
Mike A-strong thanks! I do plan to get back to making more videos, and the response from this table build has been great (I appreciate it!). As for the grinder, that's the Arbortech mini grinder. It works great for shaping all sorts of nooks and crannies!
So stealing your method for making bowties. Very nicely done.
Hans-Eirik Hanifl thanks, but it's just my take on a proven method! Works great!
Great video man. Something I do when I put a table top on with buttons is to use the domino for the mortises in the skirt. I have it out anyway for the rest of the joinery so it is quick. Where are you from ?
Cory Themilkhouseww that's a great tip! I've done something similar on another piece, but I appreciate your sharing! I'm from Northern VA!
Nice tabel subt to your channel. And a tumbs up. Grtz
sven vanvelthoven thank you! Glad you liked it!
Solo que da mirar y comprar una mesa. porque construirlo mejor se lo dejo alos profesionales.
Great build and a lovely job although at some stages i had to look away as i was getting dizzy watching because moving too fast :/
yeah it was turned up a bit much for me
couldn't finish
and me ! way too fast can't really absorb and enjoy his obvious skills
What kind of Branding Iron do you have there?
brandon kramer it's the Rockler branding iron. They also have an electric one, but this is the one you heat up with a torch (or gas stove!)
Great looking table! Not quite sure of the use of bowties and resin. Maybe one or the other.I'm wondering when the mid century rebirth here will go back out of fashion.
Carl Bowden I really did the resin to seal up the cavities from the internal bug holes. The bow ties provided plenty of strength. The slab was kiln dried, so they weren't a problem anymore, but I didn't want the customer spilling anything inside and having an issue cleaning it up. There really seems to be a rebirth of the mid-century style again. It'll probably fade a bit as time goes on, but like all good styles, for the real fans, it will remain timeless!
Would you please tell me the price for a finished piece like that
Thanks
ky colonel it all depends on the specific slab, and the tools I use. There are tools I can use to make things more efficiently as seen in the video, but I can also build it with classical techniques, but thats takes more time (and costs more money). I build pieces for people in the DC area, and things here cost more than you might pay elsewhere.
What type of finish did you use?
Joe Gotlibowski minwax wiping poly!
Oh, wow. Hot glue. Do you feel like that offers a benefit over wood glue?
BTW - that's a whole lotta beautiful table. Thanks for sharing the video. It was really informative. I subscribed. Thanks for putting these out in the world. Much appreciated.
With a table that beautiful, now it's time to get a new couch cover!!
Jesse Taylor thank you! The hot glue was actually just for the temporary clamping blocks. There were so many odd angles that I wanted something my clamps to grab a hold of. As for the couch, that a good idea(!), but as for the table, that was a commission piece. I appreciate the subscribe!
How many hours did this take?
Viral Clown around 45 not including pickup or time between finish coats.
11:45 What the heck is that? I want one!
13:25 What's the purpose of taping the cuts? just to keep it in a more manageable piece while you finish cutting?
Ken Andrews the tool is a Festool Domino. It's basically a router turned on its side that makes perfect floating tenon mortises. Pricey, but seriously speeds up production. The tape on the piece for the bandsaw cuts ensures that the the blade follows the pattern correctly. If not, the second cut on the piece would tip forward, and you'd remove more material than you wanted. It's similar to the cuts for a Cabriole leg.
Cool design! Friendly tip: I'd rather have watched a 10 minute video of you doing everything once at regular speed than a 20 minute video of everything at triple speed. It's easier to learn new techniques at regular speed because one can see exactly what you're doing. It's obvious you're going to do the same thing on all 4 legs, or all 20 bowties, etc so I don't need to see them all. Thanks for sharing though!
That’s one of my goals! Sped up seemed to be a good way of starting into these video’s but I absolutely agree with you.
@@woodbridgeworkshop3615 sped up is quite annoying to watch when you're looking at detailed work. Even worse with sped up sounds....
Maybe bolt the sander down...???
Nice job thanks
noureddine gamra thank you!
Does anyone use traditional m/t joinery anymore?? For the past 3 yrs it's been all dominos..lol
Joe Basement Woodworking & DIY i have a hollow chisel mortiser, a tenon jig, a handsaw and mortising chisels. The domino was just faster, and allowed me to save the customer some money. For my own projects I still prefer to take my time (which is probably why I’m not as quick with jigs and hand tools)
Put the doggy in the basket, don't you hurt my precious!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great tools. 🤗👍🏻 But I can do it faster.
Are you a fan of Festool ? ;)
Rob R yep! Anything to create some efficiencies!
You need a lot of high tech tools to make the normal stub !?
rr vẻ i use those tools to be more efficient. I can also break out my tenon jig or use a handsaw. But as they say, time is money, and I’m more efficient with these tools.
This cherry piece really cost 425 bucks??
I was thinking the same thing....
really 425$ ?!?!
In the DC area, everything costs more. Rent, power, materials, furniture... I let the customer select and purchase from a local supplier. That was their selection.
I need to ship my wood to dc
I do not need so many devices
headbanger 74 neither do I, but I can actually build pretty quickly. They allow me to be more efficient, and that just saves money.
nice work, but 8 found the video hard to watch. a bit TOO speeded up. I can follow along ok, but it wasn't very enjoyable. I'd like to see a more instructional video from you.
Anthony James Brown that's great feedback! I'm better at making things than making video's so i appreciate all the helpful critiques I can get! Thanks!
Upss.. Lots of tools, and the end too bad joints.
You paid $425 for that slab?
Macon Moments photo the customer selected and purchased the piece from a nearby supplier. They provided it to me for the table.
I started with Woodglut plans.
ちょっとやり過ぎ
Those bow ties look like they are from IKEA making this project look cheap! My opinion sorry
@ CoolR. those "bowties" are exactly what was needed and installed perfectly also, the client will love them if they look and most would on a table like this. You need to see more quality videos as this, nothing "cheap" about this build whatsoever. I would hire this craftsman on the spot after seeing his work.
