In this video I am building a huge conference table that will live in the tasting room of a new winery. Most of the lumber for this build was grown and harvested on the owner’s property, which made for a challenging and fun build. In order to stretch the lumber I received across a 16’ x 5’ table, I used shop-made veneer. Additionally, this build utilized plenty of other interesting techniques including template routing, segmented curves, domino joinery, and a lot of veneering good times.

I've been here for a couple years now and I'm starting to think that this isn't accually a DIY channel...

[@arankthnar]

I agree. And this is the Chris's channel. I'm sad that he share his channel...

[@boryscholewinski4370]

@@arankthnar just to be clear - it was more of a joke. I always knew their skill is beyond reach. And Shaun? Had my sub as well, so I see no harm here.

As a hobbyist woodworker, your projects are so huge and daunting, but your videos are so well done and I love the humor you add as well.

Came for the woodworking....stayed for incredibly dry yet hilarious comedy!!! you guys are great!

More wineries should table from you all.

I like this, because I clearly understand almost all that he speaking. I native russian speaker and listening in english is hard for me. But not here for some mysterious reason.

I had been looking for one for years! Finally found one in good condition and couldn't pass it up.

You two are awesome I kinda miss the two channels, but your styles and crafts have a strong synergy going on

Really appreciate it! It was quite an undertaking.

[@ChristianBrink]

The veneer sled is brilliant!

[@shaunb66]

It worked like a charm!

[@aperki01]

Thank you for the video. Learned you can take multiple cuts using a flush trim bit instead of taking a full thickness cut all at once. I bought and used a two inch long flush trim bit for my previous project. It was scary. Will use your guy's technique next time. Thank you

[@jonia368]

6:03 That’s a looot of work...tumbs up guys👍🏻. I just thought of a little very helpful advice we learned at vocational school ( just in case you didn‘t know): For a harmonic „veneer-image“ (Furnierbild as we call it in Germany) put the veneer with its bright sapwood(edge) only nexto sapwood, and heartwood nexto heartwood...the crossings appear more natural through this arrangements. This means: [sapwood, heartwood] [heartwood, sapwood] [sapwood, heartwood] etc... I really appreciate your work and all your effort. In my opinion one of the best woodworking channels. Ps: it looks soo relaxing...but when you’re in the workshop things go complicated or stressful😅...especially when you glue something and everything has to be accurate Greetings form Germany

[@supermelvel]

Yes I learned something new today 😁. Really interesting technic. I'll write this down 😊

[@shaunb66]

Thank you! Yes, it can get pretty stressful, which is why we like to make our videos feel as calm as possible!

[@jonia368]

Merel Velthoen ...i‘m glad that i could help you😄...nethertheless do what suits/works best for you, it‘s just a guidline

Little bit of sanding takes care of it.

@@shaunb66 Just sanded down fine prior so no voids for it to seep into?

@@Russ-od2yy Yeah, pretty much. There is always a tiny bit of bleed into the grain, but that usually goes away with a bit of sanding afterwards.

[@chrisau5401]

Great presentation! Three questions, if I may. How thick did you cut the veneer; did you leave the underside of the ply substrate unveneered; and, how did you finish the tabletop?

[@Lapku]

Your videos and commentary reflects lot of calmness and serenity in the entire build process. Considering such a complex piece, i wanted to ask if you guys ever lose your cool (coz i do even when building a little shelf in my tiny shed 😃) ?

[@shaunb66]

Oh definitely! I try to keep it in perspective, but things get frustrating at least a couple times during each build.

[@edal61]

You guys ROCK! Love to watch your videos. One question regarding this project, and I know it must have been the customers request but you don't mention it anywhere in the video, unless of course it was your idea. Why make it semi circled? I did notice the initial floor plan and the table was going to sit in a semi circled room but, for those sitting at the ends of the concave side of the table, they may not be able to see each other! That's what I am wondering about.
