Hey Mr. Malecki - you are you're own worst critic. We love how you try all different things, weird, wacky, wonderful and squirrely - Keep doing what you're doing. Fantastic builds all round. The realness of your videos is super refreshing - You're making a difference in peoples lives just by being you. Thank you for all that you do.
Agreed
It seems like the roots would've worked, if you had a solid, full, base. Instead of angling the planks out from the base. Then you could've shaped some deep grooves into it, and shaped the root system.
For trees look up, "Bonsai Tree Nebari." Nebari is a term used to describe the place between the trunk and roots before the roots go underground. :)
I like it. Its different!
I appreciate capturing the self doubt and hurried frustration in this video. Tied up at the end with expressing the need to get a thing out of your brain and into reality even if you don’t like the result. Can relate so so much. Also showing the struggle of organic woodworking while showing cool experimental techniques for achieving organic shapes.
reminds me of a treehouse. would have been cool having that center "trunk" come up through the table
I absolutely love this build. Knocked it out of the park John.
I have to admit at the end it looks good. I think I would have used a darker stain on the tree(?) part. The base was a good idea and blended in nicely. Good job John!
I think table turned out cool! Your last table inspired me to carve a nightlight for my daughter I glued up a bunch of walnut cutoffs and carved it into a tree and mounted a couple epoxy owls on and some lights. She loves it and I wasn’t too fond of it at first but now it’s grown on me!
I would have drilled and through doweled every lamination multiple times. In the end it wouldn’t hurt the look and it would as a lot of strength.
It's still kinda cool and I enjoyed watching the process.
Yea, CA glue will go bad over time. It’s polymerization (gluing) method is activated via water and if you let it sit for long periods of time, atmospheric water will slowly start to polymerize the CA in the bottle, reducing its effectiveness.
Yes CA glue can get old and go bad. Usually from moisture/air contamination from the bottle being opened/closed repeatedly. Generally better to keep smaller bottles around and go through them before they go bad than having a big bottle that lasts a long time.
Side note, there's a couple companies that make composite screws/nails, also brad nails/finishing nails/crown staples. That would work great for this project (and also for holding down weird things on a cnc router), since you can just carve right through them since they are just plastic
I believe the CA glue companies advertise a two year shelf life too.
@@thezfunk Unopened shelf life* Seems to go in a year when there is contamination and turns into stickier in 7 month mark, 9 months goo and finally hardens into bottle. Least the thicker stuff, but seems to be about the same for runny CA too though i have no idea when i bough them. Shop moisture percentage seems to effect it too. Recall last year it went off faster since very wet summer and warm winter so more moisture.
It is good to wingit once in a while. It keeps the creative juices flowing. It also gets you away from stick building. I like it.
I like the fact that you left all your self-doubt and anxiety in the video. So many of us go through projects and are kind of faking our way through it until things solidify. It was cool to see you work through that instead of just trying to edit things to appear masterful throughout.
I'm a f36 who has never done woodworking except in school a little but I'm totally obsessed with your videos! I can't wait for a new one to drop every time! Keep doing you! Lots of love from Finland 🇫🇮 ❤
This guy just sends it and starts building. I have notebooks full of drawings as detailed as I can make for basically every build I have done or want to do.
On one hand, I appreciate the bravery. On the other, my builds are almost always completed straight forward from beginning to end.
To each there own right ?
Pushing through a project you hate while still trying to make it the best you can says a lot about you. Good on you.
I honestly liked it! It was a really cool piece, with a sweet organic design. Kudos, it rocked!
I'm not usually a fan of the organic carving. Tree doors were the exception. But I don't hate the table actually. It kind of works
Oh good, atleast he can rest at night knowing Garrett doesn't hate it
You're creativity is inspiring! I love how this turned out and I love the progression of your vision. Keep it up! Your carvings are my favorite pieces you create!
“Yes, risk-taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking.”
- Jim McMahon
It’s not your best piece as a whole, but your willingness to cross the line between woodworking and art is a risk worth taking. It’s the difference between being one of the many guys duplicating the work we’ve seen a million times before and making something truly unique. Every furniture designer who made a name for themselves did so by making something no one had seen before. I’m sure they did not love every piece they made. Keep pushing the limits of your creativity.
Side note: Even on a piece that doesn’t work together. As individual parts the work is quality. The top looks great. As for the base, your power carving skills are admirable. Perhaps they just don’t belong together.
Every once in a while you watch a video in which your are forced to confront a part of herself that you had hoped didn’t exist. I thought I was a good person. But I got a whole lot of enjoyment out of watching the suffering in this video. I am sorry but thank you very very very much for sharing. :).
If I didn’t want people to be entertained by my suffering on this one, I wouldn’t have published it hahaha. Thank you!
title has me hooked already
Love it. Great job. Cheers 🇦🇺
To quote Paulie the first time he saw Punchy in Rocky Balboa (Rocky 6): "what an ugly dog"
nice video though, and the shadow foot made out of metal sheet was a really good idea!
So regarding life span or "Shelf Life" of CA glues. Firstly always remember you're calculating from the date of manufacture- not when you bought it. And most CA adhesives have about a 9-12 month shelf life. That's if they're stored at around 60F or room temperature. Do not store glues in a cabinet that gets hot. For CA adhesives you can always store them in a refrigerator and that will extend the shelf life significantly. Rule of thumb for CA glues, always buy in the smallest container that you can burn through more quickly. That old bottle of CA glue sitting in a tool box that rarely sees the light of day is worthless. I used to be a 3M Adhesive Specialist so I know what I'm talking about. Cheers!
I’m a sculptor, and I love the concept and most of the execution. And I’m pretty picky about my work too. And when you said “yuns” I just about lost it. I’ll be spending Christmas with my wife’s family in Pittsburgh.
This is one of those projects that “grow” on you the more you look at it. Maybe you need to make a treehouse table with multiple shelves built into it. really like the shadow idea of the base. That would be a cool idea on other projects.
"Since becoming a father, I've decided to make it one of my goals to not die." -John Malecki
New favorite quote. For real though, becoming a parent changes your priorities!
The result was worth the effort! Very cool indeed! The juxtaposition of the dark, crisp, angular top and the light, curvy, organic base might not be my style, but it's eye-catching. You're quite the artist.
I like,because they’ll never be another. This is art, it’ll be worth more money. Stan
Wowsers that is Definitely unique an very creative. Can't wait to see more videos soon boys. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Weld on. Keep Making. Stay Squirrely. God Bless.
I love that this channel has recently become an opposing balance between trying to get as close to tree form wood possible and milling it flat & alternatively taking flat boards and trying to give them a natural tree-like shape again.
Love all the crazy squarely project. I love the concept of the tree holding up the table. Just revisit the idea. This one did look like deer antlers holding up a box but you have to start some were! Keep up the amazing vids man!
I think the only thing I would have changed is trying to get the roots to separate. But I think it looks great.
Thanks for the improved audio!!
so wish you kept some more of the root wood you cut off just to blend the top into the metal base. still a interesting concept for a table.
Looks awesome!!!
You are getting there. The art work looks good.
You're doing what you love and making a living. Not many can say that. Anyone who has any artistic ability at all understands the frustration of having an image and trying to make it reality.
This dude needs 1m subs.
you should make that a series `make it up as you go`
Brilliant video mate,the bonsai term for the flared exposed roots is nebari.......you're welcome
That flooring going to be fun to sweep and clean
I Love John Malecki Vids 🩵💖
love the branches and of course the walnut top - focus on the positives!
Half way through you had a sick mine craft table! Sure some teenagers would pay big for that! Came up a treat though mate
Rubber floor makes a huge difference to workshop
I think it looks pretty bad ass John!!!
Great Job!!
Way to be out of the box!!
I kinda like it in a hippie sorta way. That would really work in a Treehouse!
lol. id say this is the best thing you every made! love it.
Really nice job
Really fun to watch. Very funny vid. At least I see I'm not alone filling with despair when a project just feels like it keeps going sideways on me. Got me to chuckle a couple times! End result not bad actually
I wonder how difficult it would be to do like a steel rod armature and then thread the wood blocks down it, then carve it. It would make the whole thing way stronger.
Its a fine line between throw away and give away☝️
that looks better. it doesnt look like an alien with a wooden male part 🤣🤣🤣 i laughed harder than i shouldve honestly
I was trying to figure out what rubber/anti-fatigue mats to get last night. what fantastic timing!
I have a saying,: If i can draw it i can make it.
Im not talking about a sketch but a scale MM drawing 3-4 sides, Top, Long side, Short side and Bottom (if needed) with details in that order.
If i can draw this i can make it without a problem since you get another understanding on how the thing should look and work.
Love your projects Brother Bear.
I think u should make deer antlers!!! Would be sick
Grain direction might really save these in the future. Ya know how you were considering using a domino to attach the base piece for the branches and build out to the side...that would have prevented all that breaking off struggle.
I found the same thing with old CA glue. Still eventually holds but it takes double the time
Ok so I have an idea to improve this table to something really cool. Yes what you did resembles a tree, but I think where it went wrong was where the tree connected to the table. My idea is to connect it in the middle with branches attached to the table sides and then you can make a tree stump with root to all sides. Making it look like a tree house.
I don't know, John. I liked it! 😃
Great work!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
i kinda got a Wall-E vibe
whatever it looks like its your handy work and thats always something to be proud of
Terribly Brilliantly Awfully Good. As a learning experience this could not be surpassed. As a beautiful piece of functional furniture..... mmh.
Another UA-camr, Stumpy Nubs, did a video on glue awhile back. Talked about all the different kinds to use and their shelf lives. Think he said CA glue is around a year.
Great channel for those starting out all the way up to expert.
The audio isn’t noticeably bad in the background when you’re in the shop. The background music covers it most of the time.
Turned out better then I thought it would 😆
I like projects like this... it can be crazy listening to him while he goes down the rabbit hole trying to figure out what he's doing but I like projects like this. Question why not start out with thicker pieces then shaping what he want then just gluing a bunch of little pieces then shaping?? I can't wait to see the next crazy project
I ascually realy do like the looks of this project.
The video is very entertaining. I think you learn a lot from those kind of experiments. I totally agree, that it looks horrible, all the way through. An eyesore.
To work for me, you should take a real bush/mini tree and mount a table on it. Making such organic shapes from blocks doesn't do it. And maybe make the table top more dynamic as well.
Again, super intertaining video. Keep them coming!
Dude, you are so funny-great video!
John I love the overall idea that you made a scary swamp version of Pinocchio with box head, daddy Geppetto would be so proud. Or was this once of those items commissioned by the master of horror movies Mr Guillermo del Toro? Either way at least you had a go and didn't bin it. You never know you might sell it for more money than you think 🤔 😏. As always guy's 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Worst thing? It’s awesome!!!
Perhaps you are on a “tree kick” because you are a wood worker and wood comes from tree…love your content keep up the great work!!
Funny story…. I was watching this while cooking and saw your flames graphic out of the corner of my eye and thought I started a grease fire for a split second lol
13:40 "Who's Build Is It Anyway? Where the projects are made up and the joints don't matter."
I like it!
Hey John, I have the solution to your joinery problems. I have been using bamboo skewers for dowel joinery and find it to be a noticeably stronger joint. I have done several videos on different uses. You can find them in my channel playlist "BS Joinery" if interested. Just buy a batch of skewers, the right size 6" long drill bit and start gluing them in from all different angles into the joint. Good luck and keep the great videos coming.
that shop light was a diffused light, if you had used a light like a single-bulb lamp without the shade on it you would have seen a lot more of the arms for the shadow.
Check out John’s face when Sam told him @16:26 😂
This is like building a tree in Minecraft, always way harder than it sounds.
Great effort! Got a question though. Would it perhaps be a good idea to incorporate actual tree limbs into it next time? Just a thought. Loved your work! ❤️
I love this! I think the problem with the bottom is that a tree is round. If the roots came out on the ground all around it would look symmetrical. I think that’s what’s missing
"Super excited that we partnered up with. AHHHHH, Rubber Flooring inc". Damn I really respect the decision not to do a second take on that line lol. 10:27
Have you ever tried putting lead in drilled holes in the bottom to weight stuff down? or stack steel in bored out holes in the base if you dont like lead.
Even if u don't like it that's okay ppl like me like stuff like that. And yes is very hard sometimes to get what's in ur head out on paper or in ur wood! But u did a awesome job sir 👏
Never stop trying weird builds!
J.Malecki, might have been time to go stomping around in the woods (of appropriate species) and see if there were root or limb bundles that might have 'worked'? Even two root bundles butted to one another may have been easier than laminating and carving from scratch? Might be worth a 'walk in the woods'? I like the idea a great deal but it may take a couple four or six of these to get the organic part like you want it to look? STILL, GREAT DESIGN!
Nice build! Don't drop any screws on that floor you'll never find them.
John, I love watching your videos and I was wondering if you had ever done a tool review on the ClampZILLA clamps by Woodpeckers for your glue ups. They are pricey and want a pros opinion on them for table top, countertop or any other similar types of glue ups.
I like it.
Lord man!! Ahhh!! Chester Good whatever it is.
What is it😂
I hated it at first, but it turned out pretty cool in the end. So much work to recreate organic shapes...I'll stick with lame squares/miters for now.
Looks cool do :D
I like it, but it's definitely not my favorite. Maybe you should try just pulling out a rootball and using that?
Maybe instead of screws use doves? Maybe instead of making the base, you could have screwed it into wall so it grows from the floor and wraps around the table. That would make much more sense.
Ent in frame as the dust collector behind looks tree-person-like...
His sense of humour is so funny
