I love this table. My fiance and I were frustrated it ended last week, so we're happy to see part 2. If I could make a suggestion, maybe don't reference the comments. We all know they're poison. Those of us who are here to enjoy your project, aren't paying attention. Keep it light.
I'm glad you two like the series. Thanks for the suggestion. It was more of a way to make fun of myself and my actions more than anything. I appreciate it.
Watching this and ….. I make furniture (not even close to you tho I wish) and I make jewelry. I use my jewelry making tools a lot when I work with onlays, and I use my dremel for metals like brass, copper, etc. Possibly that would work better for you as I’d be terrified to use my woodworking tools with those metals. I’m binge watching your videos and I love them! You’re my new favorite channel and I’m so excited to watch them all! Thank you for sharing your work! ❤
@@FortressFineWoodworks 🥰 Thank you for your hard work and taking the time to teach others, especially sharing your mistakes and repairs. Your channel has been truly helpful and inspirational. I love that your wife helps you. I cracked up laughing when you complimented her then said she sands amazingly well. I hate sanding too. 😂 You’re a talented woodworker. Thanks again for your channel.
Great update! This is going to be a beast of a table, but you've got experience building stuff with its own gravitational field... and don't sweat the comments on editing. It's like some people forget you can click on the time track to see what they missed. Looking forward to part 3, and in the meantime I'll be in my shop working my wood.
I appreciate that man. I like the gravitational field comment. Honestly, I'm not sweating the comments at all. 99% of people (including your goober self) are incredibly nice and uplifting. So thank you! P s. Don't get too many splinters
Yes, I continue to watch video-after-video. Apologies for all the comments. I get occasional "hate" on some of my Reddit posts. I have thirty-thousand "followers" who evidently enjoy my posts. There are undoubtedly people who dislike my posts as well. After spending time in a SMU I can appreciate constructive criticism. Teams survive on honesty. However, it really is "constructive" criticism. I simply do not understand people who invest poorly willing decide to be assholes when being nice is just so easy.
Je vous découvre et +1 abonné c'est une table vraiment magnifique et surtout c'est de voir que même de grand talent font des erreurs sans les cacher et j'admire beaucoup que vous apportiez des petits détails dans cette réalisation (mesures et astuce croisement du piètement) merci bonne continuation.
I really admire your work. I'm trying to make the same legs for my dining table and have a question about it. At the video timestamp 9:16, you said 'easy enough with the legs splayed to the correct width.' How did you determine the correct angle to achieve this width?"
I measured the width of the widest point of the legs until they were the correct width. Which was around 22 inches I think. The disregarded the angle. Thanks so much!
Thanks! I was trying to see in the video if you’d put on a finish. I’m working on a project that I will use brass inlay and I’m trying to figure out how to keep/ put in the finish after sanding without affecting ting the wood. Have you any advice?
Yes, I put a high gloss finish on the tabletop and a satin finish on the legs and brass. Here's the final video for that build. ua-cam.com/video/QGPYHWhnDYA/v-deo.html
Honestly love your videos, great narration and you show some awesome skill and initiative that inspires people like me to start their journey with woodworking.... but this 3 parts format applied to one moderately sized project, I find quite annoying. I, for one, prefer one one hour video that shows the progress from a to b to z. With that said.... this table gonna be dope. Cheers
This project actually has 40+ hours of raw footage. For me to edit all of that into one digestible video would mean I lose all my evenings and weekends for an entire month. So the series just provides me a way to edit over time, and retain some sort of human life in the process! So I appreciate you enduring the different videos!
Nice work, I really dislike the color of that stain though. It looks like it was nearly painted black. I would not be able to do a commission like that if they asked me for a stain on walnut like that, such a tragedy that people have no taste. Excellent work though, the finish quality your work is something you don't typically see in woodworking
Now that I've done so many projects for clients, I've realized that... it doesn't matter what I like. If they want a black table that they can call walnut, they deserve that. My personal taste in furniture shouldn't hinder theirs.
This is looking sick, but why the fuck did you think it was a good idea to use this as your testproject for a new glue!? Bought from Amazon aswell... Amazon is becoming Alibaba, but with next day delivery. Products on there are getting worse and worse I feel like. Anyways. Sick build man. One day I hope I'm able to projects like this aswell.
Honestly it wasn't just "testing" a new glue. Epoxy is suppose to bond to brass so its really that glues problem, not mine. But the problem is solved. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Im actually cutting the editing into smaller pieces so i can actually manage them. I just don't have time to edit a 50 minute video. Thanks for understanding!
I love your "works if you work it". Felt like a bit of an easter egg for those who know it's common use. Also of course love the build as always!!
I'm so glad someone (you) found that gem. It works if you work it!

Few people enjoy practicing their professions.
You are very blessed.
Thank you for sharing, will be waiting for next video. 👍
Thanks for the solid reminder. I'm very grateful. Thanks for watching the series!
The table base looks amazing can’t wait to see it finished and all together. Great job
Oh it really starts coming together once the finish and brass go on... just wait. Thanks so much!
I can't wait for the next video. You are awesome and so talented!
And you are always so dang good at giving amazing responses! Thanks!
Looking great so far. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks for being patient for the series!

P s. Don't get too many splinters
@@FortressFineWoodworksNo splinters! And at some point I hope you get to try something Nakashima-inspired... seems within your capability.
I will take a look!
Can’t wait for part 3
That's what I like to hear! Thanks for watching!
Great work so far, and thanks for introducing me to Hellman Chang
Any time! They have a great website and some insanely nice pieces

Being nice is more vulnerable, hate is "protective" and dividing. People are just scared.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Hi 👋, Great looking 👀 Table , nice job, Phil from the moulin France,
Hi again, Phil from Moulin France, I appreciate you watching again!
So if the hole is not big enough, you have to helicopter your 3.5 incher for how many hours?
Now that's a pretty good "twist" on things! Thanks for watching!
Loved the blood sweat and tears comment!
What better of a way right? Haha thanks!

Another vote for G-flex from West System. It's the most popular epoxy with knifemakers. And they are always gluing metals and wood together
I will write that one down and get some ordered for the future
Here's Part 1 - ua-cam.com/video/xkarViFhLAo/v-deo.html and
Part 3 - ua-cam.com/video/qYOqEikoWaI/v-deo.html
There were times when the shop I worked for had no problem charging 10k just for the piano finish on a table.
I see why. It takes a long time
2 inches is a perfectly normal size!
That's what I've been telling EVERYONE!
your hand is leaking raspberry jelly
I wish. That sounds delicious

The disregarded the angle. Thanks so much!
what do you do about the tarnishing of the brass?
The brass won't tarnish because it has a clear finish on it.
Wowowowo it's beautiful
Thanks! The final video comes out tomorrow! So I'll see you there!
Bummer about that epoxy. Everything is looking great so far!
Things will be figured out!
Damn that’s amazing!!
We appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

Oh, and try fishing rod elastic epoxy for that brass, it never cracks and holds on to anything.

Fantastic build - really nice to see something a cut above the usual UA-cam woodworking projects. Will the brass be coated?
I appreciate that! Yes the brass has to be clear finished otherwise it will tarnish from fingerprints and dog spit.
Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Thank you so much!

Isn't this one of Hellman Chang designs?
Yes I disclosed that in both videos. Its based on the helman and chang James Dining Table. With some changes
The proof is NOT in the pudding. The correct expression is: the proof of the pudding is in the EATING. You’re welcome.
Suddenly I'm craving pudding! Thanks for watching
Titanium is also non ferrous.
But it ironically has .2% iron in it 🤔
Maybe you could have had that brass sheared for a few bucks... 🤔
So true! I should take the time to price that next time!
Basic! Always test the glues before.
Right? I agree
This is looking sick, but why the fuck did you think it was a good idea to use this as your testproject for a new glue!?
Bought from Amazon aswell... Amazon is becoming Alibaba, but with next day delivery. Products on there are getting worse and worse I feel like.

🇧🇷Ok.
Alrighty then!
JB epoxy is garbage, but you all know that now
It was the Bob smith stuff that didnt work. The JB Weld did great. Thanks for watching!
Am I on tiktok? Why do you need to chop chop? You’re doing good but don’t bait for more views.
Im actually cutting the editing into smaller pieces so i can actually manage them. I just don't have time to edit a 50 minute video. Thanks for understanding!
Delusional
Sometimes I think I am too! Thanks for watching!
Where are you coming up with these prices....
Watch the final video here ua-cam.com/video/qYOqEikoWaI/v-deo.html
I explain it in that one!
