my high school shop class has all of the exact same clamps for making tables, though when they remodeled the shop i dont know if they got new ones

[@OutontheRanchwithDrLee-xb4lo]

Absolutely beautiful, Andy! They will love it forever, and it will certainly become a family heirloom, especially since YOU built it! A+++++

[@AndyRawls]

Thank you Dr. Carriker!!!

[@randaltucker2981]

Being a woodworker, using hardwoods, specifically oak; I have a great appreciation for your craftsmanship on this beautiful table. Kudos Andy. I am making a small piece for Matt as a gift to celebrate their new “forever” home. Problem is, I have no idea where to send it. Any help from either of you would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dr Lee!

[@ericsvalland4417]

I can see why Matt & Meredith wanted a table made by you. It's Beautiful! It's not only functional, but a piece of art as well. It will become a family heirloom, and be a part of festivities amongst family and friends for generations to come.👍👍

[@AndyRawls]

Thank you!! That’s my favorite part about what I do, knowing that my furniture will serve family’s for so long!

[@makapalatrace8385]

Parents bought a trestle early seventies. Us kids put it together. I ended up with it and it’s amazing you can still see our homework handwriting.

[@CVLEntertainment72]

Matt doesn't care about the drops, he cares that his friend built him a nice table. #tabledrops #itsgotcharacternow #demoranch

[@maxcullen3427]

May of already written but came from matts channel unbelievable table the craftsmanship is amazing few dents or marks show it is truly hand made had MOVED more. Character

[@AndyRawls]

Agreed!! Thanks for watching the video!

[@JoshBabin]

Good looking table. Nice to see the Stanley No.8 being put to work. Was really hoping to see if this one fell. Wasn't disappointed.

[@DennisSmakIver]

Andy, "My Hats off to you" *does not take hat off 🤣 also dropping tables 🤣 thanks mate. Another awesome table, ur a legend 👌

[@R3Dwyvern]

Here from Matt's vid, beautiful work man

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

Great video! I am an Off The Ranch subscriber and rather new to woodworking. I am a 50 year old that took up woodworking 2 years ago to make wood flags to generate donation money for the veteran organization that I volunteer at here in Michigan. that table is awesome. I am now an Andy Rawls subscriber as well!

[@TotalBoat]

This table is stunning!! Beautiful build guys!!

[@arimadx]

I love to hear you guys talking to each other! Man I wish I had someone around to tell me all the little things that'll help me as I'm doing it. And the small little tips are awesome to hear because most videos dont go over things like that. Great video!

[@crafteddowntheroad839]

The table is gorgeous! I originally clicked to watch because it was such a beautiful build, but seeing you built it for another KZbin family I am subscribed to made it that much more special. I love your work!

[@derikdrinkle2084]

Awesome table and build. Loved the story of how you two met. Only fitting that you would build a table for them. God bless.

[@rosscurtis8107]

Wow, very cool watching the process! Ha ha on the table drops, shows yer human beans like the rest of us! The hat throw at the end was Epic!

[@CHICOB4261]

Wow, what a beautiful table art you created. It is always my pleasure to watch a craftsman of your caliber create something beautiful and useful. My family is from Peru 🇵🇪 and my padrino had a table of this size made for my madrina as a gift. This table sat 12 people and it was two pieces! The size of the tree was bigger around than the table when it was finished and all of it was cut from one piece of wood. Of course the base came apart from the table so that it could be placed in their home. This was made in the 1940’s I wish that I had a picture of it now because I did not realize what a piece of of art it was. Thank you for sharing your process with me.

[@jasonswift7098]

Amazing craftmanship Andy! well done, this beautiful table will last many generations of the Carriker family.

[@luckylg1046]

"Dropping of the Table" is now a tradition that must be upheld when you build one for Matt.

[@AndyRawls]

I hate to say you’re right!

[@randybourdon2791]

Beautiful table Andy and Robert. Matt’s house is certainly big enough to handle this size of a table.

[@peggooo]

loved every single second of this build! loved hearing how you n matt met … bible study!! your talent and ability are beyond amazing!! thanks for sharing it!!!

[@milesmcdonald4367]

Love seeing the big handplane in use

[@rappeezy]

Great work! Very informative. The view count should start skyrocketing momentarily.

[@richewilson6394]

Love it!!! It's like a maple knights of the round table. I love the legs, it would awesome if someone have scrap birch plywood to make the thickness. Then clasps the outer part of the legs with solid wood making a nice effect.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the table build video Andy. Beautiful table. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@AndyRawls]

Thank you!!

[@rosshutchison6893]

Awesome build guys. And I love the informative nature of your build.

[@donesry2902]

That is fantastic. I hate building giant stuff as it gets so heavy and hard to work / reach. I looks really great. Getting something that large to be flat is such a challenge. I want to build a round table (but not that large) with a lazy susan in the middle. Rather than pass everything, we just spin it to be in front of us. I like the round table as you can see everyone more easily. Great work and thank you for sharing.

[@benaston5527]

Table looks amazing

[@HillbillyUp]

What a beautiful table, you have so much talent. Just think, you made something that will be admired and past down for many years to come.

[@bryantyler7456]

Awesome. Love that you showed the drop. I remember the first one. Two fantastic tables with some character!

[@AndyRawls]

Thank you!

[@PalmSandsRanch]

Beautiful table, very elegant 👍🏻

That is a nice round table. Nice selection/order from Mere and great work by Andy & Robert.

[@mitchellfreedman9319]

Great mix of voice-over and live play x play audio. Nice hand planing tips too. Thank you.

[@budgingace2440]

It's really cool the story he told about Matt starting a KZbin channel where now we is making something for him to go in his mansion, kinda crazy

[@alexaltringer17]

Great informative video. I like the info you give your apprentice, very helpful

[@larrykelly2838]

Very nice table.

[@07Countryboi]

It’s part of the ritual to drop Matt’s tables. Again awesome table.

[@ryanbutryn5675]

New to your channel and just loving the design of the table base, very inspiring, thanks for sharing.

[@jasonleigh4938]

I've been a chippy/carpenter most of my life and seeing you drop those tables is kind of bitter sweet. I mostly work solo so dropping stuff you put blood sweat and tears sometimes into I'd just par for the course. Still pretty annoying though. Great work friend. 😊🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@AndyRawls]

I can relate to working solo been doing most my career. I’m very thankful to have Robert with me now.

That varnish came out great. Honestly, it's such a beautiful table.

[@simonr6793]

You know it's going to be a fantastic piece of furniture simply by using the "DROP IT ON THE FLOOR" testing system 😀 the table turned out pretty awesome but knowing Matt I'm surprised that he didn't get you to inscribe it around the top with each person's name thinking he was King Arthur with all his knights!!! Andy as always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

[@johngiromini5745]

You did good, Andy. And kudos to Robert as well. Really enjoy how you are melding CNC technology to mechanized woodworking tools to good old standby planes. Even Noah would be proud.

[@AndyRawls]

It’s been fun mixing the CNC into our projects!

Beautiful table Andy! Love the content! And it wouldn't be a table for Matt if it didn't have a ding in it, adds character.... let's just hope he doesn't wonder how bulletproof it is 😄

Nice JOB! love the Legs! OH-BALLS on DROPPING the Table!

Gorgeous table. Too few table makers on here really consider and invest this kind of energy in the base. Love to see a holistically considered design.

Stunning table! And a perfect match for that home, too.

Incredible work!

[@arayawoodworks]

What a massive table!! I was once asked to do a big round table and I glad I said no. Lol there is no way I could have pulled it off. Great build. Learned a ton

[@richardangeles4151]

I would say go for it, you learn a lot from failure. (If you can afford it of course ya don’t want to set yourself back on a gamble) I built a patio roof this December, never thought I could do it on my own with limited experience but I just went for it, and it turned out nice and learned a lot from it. And in a world with information 2 clicks away, videos like this can guide your attempts to further increase your chances of success!

[@donesry2902]

Right!! Trying to get anything that size flat, much less oak, is mind blowing.

[@bighead0107]

That is some beautiful work. Great job.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Lovely design, and as always, terrific techniquest, Andy! Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@TheLufkins]

Awesome table, I recently did a 66"(originally 78" - too big for the space) round table for my son and daughter-n-law and have to say it was a fun build. Wish I would have sprayed the finish on instead of brushing.

[@bachplucked]

Recognized the MuskOx shirt’s. I have the green one as well. Beautiful table build. High tech CNC to hand plane.

[@tmalcolm6138]

Brand new subscriber here from Matt’s channel. You all did an amazing job dude and it looks sick in Matt’s new home ❤️❤️

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks💪

[@rich3398]

Beautiful work. That is one huge table. Those big pieces look great but they can really be a pain to work with. You really can't move to the tools them once they get assembled, you have to move the tools to the work. I made a Texas King Bed for a customer once so I can sympathize. Robert looks like he is fitting in well. He seems to take lessons well and I've seen you use him as a sounding board as well.

[@xris785]

Really nice, I’ve been waiting to see this since you mentioned it a while back. I liked the lesson element on planing, always helpful little tips hadn’t really considered weight distribution transferring during the jointing of a board.

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing, Andy! That's a real work of art! 😃 Beautiful isn't enough to describe it! Anyway, stay safe there with your family there! 🖖😊

You always drop heavy things for matt

[@chadduplantis8591]

You should try Rubio mono coat as a finish for your tables it’s all I use. It’s very durable and easy to apply

[@donnymcarter]

Beautiful build buddy! Gonna need some more help carrying the the next tabletop!

[@Bobby3038]

I'm here from Matt's channel. Subscribed.

[@AndyRawls]

Thanks!!

[@royreynolds108]

Have you thought about making a support similar to an easel with 2 rollers to support the table while it is leaning back just a bit so you don't have to reach way over? The rollers could be just bars or pins large enough to support the load as the table top does not have to turn as you work on it. Rollers might be useful for some situations.

[@AndyRawls]

Not a bad idea at all. It’s not often we build a table this big so I’ll just take the uncomfortable part for a few minutes.

[@lbhunter6341]

Awesome table, awesome project and video. One note...your bench planes either need to be sharpened or your cut is too deep...shouldn't be that difficult to push...some paraffin on the sole would help too. Keep on cuttin!

[@bigdogmn73]

Hey Andy - Man...500k subs...nice work buddy. I sure love this channel. For Patreon is it that top level that gets access to your extra content? Dude..why don't you cover those tables before moving them..lol

Very nice build! Just wondering how much did the table weigh? It definitely was built to last!

[@KIDxCUDIxFORxLIFE]

Also wondering the weight

[@AndyRawls]

I have no idea but it felt pretty heavy

[@maxwellyedor7610]

The lesson to be learned here is to never, under any circumstances, put your table top on a trailer. Beautiful work, would love a table of that scale and quality one day, but think I’d need a house the scale and quality of Professor Demo first.
