Hi Dylan, So good to see another project video and I love the coffee table. When you tapped the wedges in (we used to call this a fox tail joint, probably wrong too lazy to google!) it brought back a lot of memories where I just went one turn, tap or cut to far. Love your mix of shop sounds and chat and your videos are getting better all the time. Do you like the linseed oil finish? Stay dusty. James - One Handed Maker
@@onehandedmaker thanks James. Always good fun putting videos together, still lots to learn and I continually just carry on working on stuff forgetting to press record. Oh well! I love a beeswax and oil finish, always the most natural look but not overly hardy. Not tricky to fix up down the line though.
Thanks. I generally try to but my ripping blade is too thin for my riving knife and I get jamming which ends up being more sketchy than having no knife. I'm pretty confident with sending smaller pieces though and making sure the wood is pushed hard against the fence and pushed through the other side thoroughly. I'd definitely recommend for anybody to use one but I'm almost MORE vigilant without one as I know the potential risks.
@@joshc7200 thanks! Yeah it's good. I don't have any reference to top shelf thicknessers but it has been good for me. It's a bit snipey at times but a sacrificial piece gets rid of it.
Great video mate, loved the coffee table thought it turned out great, looks like I’m running the same saw as you and it looks like you are using a flat top saw blade, I’ve been looking for one without much success and would be interested to know what blade your using?👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
@@grahamparsons6620 hey mate, thanks! Yep the silver blade is a thin rip freud blade with flat grind. It's great, but super thin so I can't use the riving knife, I got it from timbecon I think....
@@dylanbarfieldfurniture many thanks for your reply mate, I will have to check Tibecon again it’s probably been about 12 months since I last checked but now I have a brand to look for 👍👍
It sounds like a cheat but you can use rectangular shims/blocks rather wedge shaped wedges. If they're just a hair thicker than your table saw blade they'll still swell out the tennon and you guarantee a symmetrical look at the end. Just dont tell the traditionalists!
@@robv.7864 I appreciate the concern, I usually use a riving knife but my flat grind blade is too thin for it. With good technique it's pretty easy to avoid kickback though, and I'm not cutting massive pieces or big bits of plywood.
Turned out great! Nice work Dylan!
well done Dylan. great video production as well. lighting and sound very good. another fab creation of yours.
@@rosswines thanks Ross!
Very nicely made and well designed. Great video too. I really liked the pacing and composition of this one!
@@keatonbeyerwoodworking thanks Keaton. It's been a while! Getting my groove back...
Great work!
Thanks!

Love the video & coffee table. Great to watch someone who lives in the same city as me
Thanks Peter. Brissy represent!
Yeah brisvegas!! Another brissy boy here 🙂
Hey mate the coffee table turned out great. Just found your channel tonight, always good to find fellow Aussie woodworkers here on YT 👍🏼
Thanks mate! I've been watching your vids for years, likewise nice to watch fellow Aus woodworkers👍
Same here mate, your video just showed up on my feed. Very nice build mate. Looking forward to seeing future builds 👍🥃
@@LuxeWoodcraft bless the algorithm. Thanks for watching!
Very cool table and video! Please install a riving knife on your table saw if you can ;)

Love the build! How do you find the sherwood thickneser?

Really nice work but it looks more like a bench than a coffee table.

@@oliverhatt4555 don't say that too loudly you'll have your hand tool privileges revoked
Please invest in a riving knife and/or help fence. I will sleep easier.

"Usually joinery is something that I don't really care that much about..." You are a furniture maker, ffs.
Haha fair. I could have maybe worded that better. I guess it's usually less of a design feature.
