This is obviously a place where they make items like this a lot. So, perhaps this was done for the video.
But, he should have been wearing some kind of mask while doing that work. Also eye protection.

Everyone who is complaining that the thumbnail didn't match the video should know that if you go to the recommended videos to the right of the comments section you can hover your mouse over any part of a video's thumbnail or video information, it shows a preview of the video which can help dispel some clickbait. It works on Androids too by exiting fullscreen to make UA-cam verticle then scrolling down and hovering over suggested videos.

This is not the woodworking video that I'd recommend if you wanted to learn safe woodworking practices. No masks, blade guards, safe blade heights, keeping fingers away from the blade, etc. But, you have to admit, he's older than dirt and still has all of his fingers and his skills are out of this world.

[@DTWoodworking]

Thanks you for watching and comment

[@woodwood5164]

I agree, I almost lost my fingers on a spindle moulder making a chess table 50 years ago, and as a 72 year carpenter/joiner I picked up (sad I know) on the poor mitre on the one corner.
It is something we chippies take extra care over.
I, sadly also did not use ear protectors for many years and now I am suffering the consequences.
I also used a table saw without a guard and a riving knife for years and did have a few 'kick-back' accidents.
I would advise any 'improvers' to watch and watch youtube safety videos until they are sick of them, we never had them and I know a few tradesmen with missing digit's because of lack of respect to the machinery.
Incidentally, many years ago, we had fluorescent lights in the workshop and they would 'harmonise' with the circular saw, it made it look as though the blade was still and there was an almost irresistable urge to check with your hand, doh!.
Stay safe people.

this was a great learning video and the table top was awesome , over all it was a success. But the miters were a little off and the legs also could have been a little more finished and flattened on the sides .

Dear the operator of the wood working channel, I appreciate this work and praise the great skill of the carpenter who made it, but I have an opinion that I hope it is humble and do not bother you, I wish that the two bases are connected to two occasional wooden pieces, where a place is made in the back of the face of the table, and then the two pieces are connected with the back, thus ensuring the durability of the work.

Nice job, but some details are dislike. The connections of the parts should be made from wood, not screwed with screws. Also the nails on the side are not necessary. And paint the wood is also a bad idea, because over the time you must repaint them. Better with hardwax or oil.

When I was growing up! Mostly, it was done by Older Men who had spent a Lifetime learning their Craft, and without the use of modern day technology! Everything was handcrafted, and past on as Heirlooms! The Crap, that is built today; is not even close to the quality of years past! One of the few places left in the U.S. where you find this outstanding craftsmanship is in Western North Carolina! Just being able to talk to these Wonderful Artist, is a Trip to the past! I come from New Mexico, and grew up admiring the Craftsmanship, in the Spanish Heritage of such People! If you were Blessed to be chosen to learn this Craftsmanship, it would take a Lifetime to learn, and Respecting our Elders; was Joy!
