    Wow. I've watched you since the typewriter video. My wife has watched Jenna for a very long time. I introduced my wife to you a while ago and I watched Jenna with my wife for a year. The audible gasp in our house when you said "This is Jenna Phipps"
    This is kinda awesome.

    Years ago I bought a huge trailer load of old boards salvaged from a barn tear down that has been setting outside for awhile. I think I paid $30 for the whole thing. One other person at the auction chastised me for wasting my money on stuff unfit to even be firewood. I found that once it was cleaned and planed it was beautiful oak with some character. The furniture I've made has been beautiful! Not bad for a pile of worthless scrap wood.😊

    Just found this page....glad I did. If you're ever building a table like that again another way to get all of the legs into the same plane is to put the table onto your table saw or other flat surface, shim it up so that it's level and then take a pencil on the flat surface and drag mark it all around the bottoms of the legs. Then, you cut to the pencil line either by hand or with a powersaw of some kind. If you want to get really fancy, attach a razor blade from a utility knife to a 1/4 inch piece of scrap and make the marks around the legs that way. Happy making!

    I love it how Canadians and Americans are awed by things like "someone drilled these holes 70 YEARS AGO!!!". I'm from the UK, there's a pub near me that opened as a pub 700 years ago, never mind 70. As the old saying goes, in the difference between North Americans and Brits is that North Americans think 100 years is a long time; Brits think 100 miles is a long distance! 🤣

    Be careful with exterior grade stuff. Exterior grade paints and finishes are allowed to off-gas more harmful gasses while interior grade ones are not. Using exterior paint and finished inside can be a recipe for future health disasters. Please do some deep research before using exterior finishes indoors.

    I have 12” wide, 12’ long old growth Douglas fir shelving rescued from an old factory in Seattle and trucked home to Port Angeles. It was from their office storeroom, cut to fit (no nails) and never had finish applied. In working with Doug Fir, I learned it gets harder and harder the older it is. Hoping to someday make a bookcase out of some of it. But it seems I now have more fun turning wood than doing flat work. So it sits in my pole barn getting occasional admiration. Glad you lucked into some.

I was going to come donate you a bandsaw, but your maker space has you set up right. A couple of years will pass by so fast, but those end tables will last forever. I have some good ideas about what you can do with that exquisite old growth lumber sitting in your apartment, but I am confident the best idea will come to you on your own. Trust your first feelings on this.

    Hi Morley! Its always exciting to see another video uploaded by you.
    Although I must say, I highly prefer your old style of wood working videos. The storytelling is so much better, the build is much more satisfying, the backgroud music and compilation and time lapses were very nice to watch and the progress of the build is more apparent which makes the end result more satisfying. Just a thought out there just in case youre looking for constructive criticism

    That’s a pretty good job. I typically wouldn’t call a table that might be well made, but made out of a wood that’s rotten and has a couple holes in it high end furniture. It gives off more of a rustic vibe for me. I think if you put a table top on it that extended out a couple of inches it would have looked a little bit better. Great job.

    Hello! Not a subscriber here, just watched this video since it was on my recommended. As another commenter suggested, I would definitely suggest you reconsider using exterior finish if you are applying it in an enclosed indoor space. Might be a better idea to keep it covered outside to allow for proper and safe off-gassing. I'd also suggest wearing proper PPE while sawing/jointing/planing. I saw that you wore a barrier face cover (BCF) during such operations which provides little protection when dealing with particulate matter. Definitely get an NIOSH approved respirator -or at the very least an N95- to protect your lungs! Otherwise, good job! I'm not a huge fan of the design as I think it's too bulky for my taste. However, my opinion on the design is not relevant as long as your client is happy and I can see that they really loved it! Overall great job and stay safe!!!

    Very nice tables! I'm glad I found your channel and you got to save those beams. Quick tip for the bandsaw, lower the guard to about a thumbnails height above the work for a better and safer cut.
    For those big beams, you could go the table route, or something upright, like lamps or one of those planter trees. Maybe a headboard or a bench? How about cut them down to make a hanging lamp for above a table?

    "Douglas Fir is a softwood - which means it comnes from a conifer." - so "soft" and "hard" are rather odd words to have used in the definition. I have read, for example, that balsa is classified as a hardwood.
    For those interested, Google defines them as ... _Softwood is a term used to describe timber sourced from coniferous or needle-leaved trees. Hardwood is sourced from deciduous and evergreen broad-leaved trees. As a general rule, hardwoods tend to be denser than softwoods, making them sturdier and more weather resistant._
