So many different skill sets required in just one build. You made it look easy but I bet there plenty of nervous moments hidden in there.

[@armandocasasconcosas9651]

Exelente trabajo ingeniero. 👍🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

[@Danman1972]

Cool idea with the thick veneering. I was a custom picture framer and would mount prints to foam board with a huge 5x8 vacuum machine. Had a bottom that was a bag and sealed against a large plate of tempered glass. The glass would open up on a frame so you could put things in it. The bag you used kind reminded me of that. I've seen these systems and been wanting to try one. I still do some framing here and there.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Danny!

[@FredMcIntyre]

Crazy amount of work, looks awesome John! 👍👊

[@John_Malecki]

Yea Fred. This one was a beast!

[@KevBotWorkshop]

Missed opportunity! I just made a conference table for my office, and would have loved to put the Chicago skyline in it. Ugh!!! great idea John!

[@John_Malecki]

GLad you dig it!

[@pradyumnak4749]

is the width of the square tubing of the same size of the distance between the base panels?

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Thank you!

[@masterofnone]

Looks great John. Great use of MDF

[@John_Malecki]

Don't love MDF, but thank you. This was a good one

[@masterofnone]

John Malecki I strongly dislike MDF myself. Specially cutting it.

[@tomlagatol4448]

I really enjoyed watching the various woodworking & metal techniques! I likely won’t make a similar table BUT I surely enjoyed watching it done and knowing the how’s and why’s....Thanks ....Good Vid!

[@John_Malecki]

GLad you dig it Tom. It was a monster

[@thomsonm5]

Absolutely superb work - such a great blend of metal and wood. Way out of my league, but fun to watch and as usual I learned a couple of techniques.

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you like it mark. This one was a bear!

[@rbdworks4342]

Looks amazing! I love the wood and steel combo.

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you like it! This one was a beast

[@LuxusHomeCreations]

Thanks for sharing. Nice build...big asset if you know how to weld on top with woodwork in this DIY world

[@John_Malecki]

yea thank you! Its not that hard honestly!

[@CrossCutCreations]

That's a sick table, John! Awesome job!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you like it! Thank you!

[@KennyB9871]

🤘👊

[@CraveCraft]

Awesome build John! Well done!!! Love the techniques you used and the design is beautiful!

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you dig it brother!

[@MakingStuff]

Nice!

[@rickvanhooren548]

Very awesome project and Vid...AND OMG! You have a mag drill? You actualiy have a mag drill !! Cheers!

[@John_Malecki]

Haha yes i do. Glad you like it Rick !

[@RCW-Designs]

That table is so awesome. I've been looking at doing some carved city scapes, but I never thought of doing it as the stretcher on a table.

[@John_Malecki]

Glad you like it! Carved would be awesome !

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Totally thought it was going to be solid walnut, love that it wasn't! Really awesome.

[@John_Malecki]

Yea it couldn't be cause the metal doesn't move! Glad you like it Tamar!

[@SouthernStyleDIY]

Such an awesome design! Love that skyline

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks so much !!

[@robtansey8143]

Cool build bro. Hey can you use regular HSS bits in that mag drill, or does it have to be an end mill? Thanks

[@John_Malecki]

Pretty sure end mill. I use the bits FEIN sells with it

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

What an undertaking! Love that cityscape design👍👍

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks man. Thats my favorite part too!

[@Cnthib57]

How much does that thing weigh? All that metal and MDF, it must be crazy heavy. Great job, looks beautiful!

[@John_Malecki]

it wasnt light haha everything came in on a dolly and in parts

[@derekauns]

Awesome build John, it turned out great. Are you going to post anything as a follow up to the issues you had after delivery and how you fixed it? I remember seeing something with some of the metal bowing.

[@John_Malecki]

Nah it was too hard to get video, I basically just re-did the metal inlay and didnt cap the ends. Thats why i didnt get into detail on how i did it in the video.

[@HarnealMedia]

Fantastic build John. Has been fun watching you as you went along on Instagram

[@John_Malecki]

Yea this thing kicked my butt!

[@chadfox6011]

Great video!! I remember on instagram there was a issue where the metal center piece was pulling up. How did y'all fix that problem? keep the awesome videos coming!!

[@John_Malecki]

I had to re-lay the metal down and have it be uncapped on the end. Since the movement made it buckle and pop in the center

[@modustrial]

You definitely punched this one in the face. Nice work John!

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks dude. I got some GFRC on the radar you're gonna dig!

[@modustrial]

John Malecki say what?! Looking forward to seeing this!! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on the process. I think you'll dig it.

[@lifeanywhere]

I think you tricked a lot of people with this one John. I totally though the walnut on top were solid boards. Beautifully done, beautifully designed!

[@John_Malecki]

haha not a trick! Just the way i thought it should be done

[@wanderlust5130]

And what's the point of spending all that time and client's money? At the end they are left with cheap iron, some veneer, blobs of glue and the cheapest mdf you can find? This thing will start falling apart in a few years of good wear and tear.

[@lifeanywhere]

Wander Lust you’re severely underestimating the strength of MDF if left untouched my a hardwood veneer.

[@davidwhite9906]

Better hope you put clear on those metal inlays or they’ll definitely rust

[@John_Malecki]

yes you can see us spraying them in the video!

[@davidwhite9906]

Didn’t look like you sprayed the ones on the top

[@marceaton3128]

Nice work John, by the way, someone put graffiti on your welding helmet.

[@John_Malecki]

You mean those victory marks on my helmet ...?

[@tugamer89]

666 like. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Nice!
