Family Game Table - Build Process

This is a walnut table, countertop height with a 5' by 5' top. Total build time was approximately 200 hours. I designed it based on some ideas and pictures provided by the client, and did the mock-up in Shapr3D. The overall dimensions were there and some basic construction concepts, but the build process was a lot of figuring out the details as I went along. Having the legs set at a 45 degree angle definitely added a bit of extra work throughout. I had fun with this one and learned a lot, but I'm happy it's finally delivered - this one took up quite a bit of shop real estate!

[@leatherbydragonfly]

Absolutely stunning Ben. I love how methodical you are with the fine details, though subtle, those details make an impact on the overall design.

[@pmelchman]

OMG Ben. What a build. I could not of built this. I did pick up several tips. We really enjoy watching your videos! What’s the next project on the bench? I have to steel the process of making this drawer pulls… clever

[@cleancutwoodworks]

Appreciate it! Small chest in sycamore coming soon. 👊

[@stevens.6351]

Wow! Wish I had those skills. Great work

Thank you very much!

The attentipn to detail is unbelievable

[@woodnotestudio]

That came out great. Going to be trying something like that soon. Those knobs are brilliant. Hope you’re ok with me using that idea.

[@cleancutwoodworks]

Appreciate it! The key to success with those knobs is the drill press trick and doing the top chamfers with the shooting board. The first time I made these I cut them out on the scroll saw, then spent HOURS sanding them. 🙄 Good luck! I’d like to see how they turn out - hit me up on Instagram @cleancutwoodworks

[@dcoy0517]

You have some serious skill man! A lot of really nice details in that. Do you have any idea how much time you have in that build?

[@cleancutwoodworks]

Thanks! I never keep track. I should. Somewhere between 180-200 hrs.

[@WoodChuckCreations]

You got rid of the Powermatic jointer? Great project!

[@cleancutwoodworks]

6” wasn’t cutting it 😆 The Grizzly combo has been great for the past 4 years 👍👊

[@Wood_Slice]

The way you attached those legs and the ebony drawer pulls just made my day. 👌

[@cleancutwoodworks]

Thanks, brother 👍👊 Yeah, allowing that 5’ top to “float” over the base - and the 4 drawers in the apron - was a bit of a challenge. Thanks for reaching out!

[@dwightpennington1925]

I love that you’re so meticulous and exacting. I love woodworking like that on fine furniture!

[@cleancutwoodworks]

Yes! Thank you!
