Seeing an original build as beautiful as this is so refreshing as all the big channels are constantly chasing the algorithm with their content. I know it’s not easy but keep this passion in your videos!
Late comment, but I was glad to see you included repairing the broken leg. Decades ago I was told that proper joinery is skill and experience. Fixing mistakes is artistry. Thx.
Beautiful work. I'm commenting five months after you originally posted the video because I wanted you to know it's still being enjoyed. If you don't mind, I'm planning to use your coffee table design as inspiration for a black walnut end table. It will complete a room and be the first piece seen looking through the foyer after entering the front door.
Comment away, I love reading them. And definitely, use this design or whatever parts of it you like. I would love to see what you make when you have it all done too! Good luck on your project, Jon!
Nice to hear from you Greg! You'll have to share a picture when you're all done. Thanks! It's been nice to see and I feel on track to hit my goal this year, just need a few more projects like this one.
I did get some new blades for it which are better for what I use it for, I previously only had some thin scrolling blades and those broke like crazy, but it is still my least favorite tool in the shop.
I agree with the title of your video. Your best work yet. And your design puts my round coffee table from Pottery Barn to shame! Hats off to you, simply gorgeous work.
Thank you Kevin! It's always nice to hear that, and especially nice to hear when I moved it into my client's house and they said, "wow, it looks even better than the drawing!"
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! There are a few decent ones on my channel, and a few, not so great ones. But hey, it shows the learning progression.
The break was lucky it happened before everything was assembled and it came back together clean and stronger because that wood glue is now holding it together
Breaking during glue up would have made for a very stressful moment. In retrospect a better grain selection would have avoided the problem but with the structure all together it should be plenty strong
I used what I think is a 7/8 inch round over. But only used the lower section of the bit. I believe i bought it from bits and bits and the 7/8 inch was quite a bit cheaper than the 1 inch bit.
Great video! It broke my heart to have to see you cut up the slabs in order to smooth them out, but you didn't have a choice. Also, I'm curious what double sided tape you use for your templates? One look through Amazon has several tapes, but all of them seem too thick to hold a template flush to the wood.
Me too. I really wanted to keep them whole, especially since they were book matched out the same tree but even if I took them to my local guild, which was my plan, they only have a 20" planer... The double sided tape I use is here, really good stuff. taytools.com/products/double-sided-tape?_pos=2&_sid=22c20e3c5&_ss=r
I sanded starting at 80 grit to remove all marks and any tear out. Typically I spend the most time here, probably half of the total sanding time is spent at 80 grit. Then 120, 180, 220 all with the sander before moving to 320 by hand with a sanding block to remove any lap lines left by the sander. It's a process.
@@keatonbeyerwoodworking Thanks so much for the response! We have just ordered natura onecoat to try it out for the first time. It looks really good on your table and were just curious what you did to get that nice look.
@@charlie91770 totally! Glad you asked. Sanding up the grits gives the wood a nice shine to start with that the finish accentuates. I'll note I did one coat of finish on the base and the bottoms of the table and shelf and two coats on the top side. The second coat adds some depth and sheen so I definitely recommend it, plus it adds a little extra protection. You don't need to use as much finish on the second coat as it doesn't soak into the wood as much. Good luck on your project Charlie!
That's a beautiful table. Also like the video. As a woodworker suffering from ocd, i'd have the grain direction on the table top and lower shelf going in the same direction. I don't know if you did'nt did this on purpose or just did'nt pay atention to that, but that the only thing i don't like. Other than that, awesome job man. Keep it up
You caught it. I had planned to run the grain direction the same way but decided the top looked better when rotated 90 degrees. Then I was uncertain if I should change the shelf so I called in my resident expert for her opinion and my wife said leave it because she liked it this way so I did.
I don't mind at all. Didn't want to put them on blast in the video but the finish was Osmo. I think it was the Osmo thin, so it could have just been that version of their finish isn't quite as robust. I did switch to Polyx and it does better, but it doesn't have the same sheen level and doesn't give as much depth to the wood as Natura Onecoat.
@keatonbeyerwoodworking The reason I ask is because I've got some osmo myself. Thinking about putting it on my daughter's jewelry box. And I don't want to have to redo it. Thanks

Great job Keaton! I am currently in the middle of a new bedroom set.. Great to see strong growth in your subscriber base.
Nice to hear from you Greg! You'll have to share a picture when you're all done. Thanks! It's been nice to see and I feel on track to hit my goal this year, just need a few more projects like this one.
Perfect job, thank you so much for great video
Glad you liked it!
I also use kids medicine syringes to apply oil finishes lol great build
They're super useful, especially for hardwax oil measuring, and it seems like I have an endless supply these days!
Beautiful table, loved the video. Resonated so much with that jigsaw joke😂 “I like to use the jigsaw… well kinda of…” well done!

Excellent build mate. New subscriber and now I'll binge your other videos :)

What bit did you use for the thumbnail profile?

Table looks great! Can I ask what grit(s) you sanded to on the table tops?
I sanded starting at 80 grit to remove all marks and any tear out. Typically I spend the most time here, probably half of the total sanding time is spent at 80 grit. Then 120, 180, 220 all with the sander before moving to 320 by hand with a sanding block to remove any lap lines left by the sander. It's a process.

@@keatonbeyerwoodworking well then it's a decicion made on purpose wich i respect. Awesome build man. Gained a subscription 👍🏻
@@hermansnel6761 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
What was the finish that you had to redo every couple of years if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind at all. Didn't want to put them on blast in the video but the finish was Osmo. I think it was the Osmo thin, so it could have just been that version of their finish isn't quite as robust.

Nice build btw
@@thewoodshop69 it'll probably be fine. I'd use it and do at least two coats.
