[@houstonsam6163]

A weekend plywood butcher like me can only dream of doing work like this - incredibly skilled craftsmanship producing a stylistically simple but mechanically impressive product. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from you in person is extremely fortunate.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Your keen eye for detail is more than impressive, mate. The pride you take in your work shines through. You are a true craftsman, with amazing skills 👍

[@wficklin]

Cool design Joey and a great way to store the extra leaf.

[@stephenziguras6765]

Thanks for sharing this Joey. Fantastic work!

[@thealec98]

Well done. Looks awesome. Love the grain match on the breadboard end with the leaf.

[@izenteno78]

This is an amazing table! Thanks for sharing, always learn something from your videos!

[@DesN4IN]

Really nice job Joey, love the contrast of cherry and oak together and the breadboard ends.

[@stuartguy319]

Absolutely gorgeous table. Your attention to detail is fantastic and your craftsmanship is outstanding. Your apprentice is lucky to be learning so much great techniques.

[@jcsrst]

What a lot of work! It came out amazing! Your hand joinery skill continue to impress me. I loved the simple yet clever trick of the tape on the back of your saw when flush cutting the dowels, genius!

[@haribon2012]

What a premium table creation! I salute you sir!

[@albertotenorio6754]

Awesome job Joey, great craftsmanship my friend!!

[@AmienPhillips]

Beautiful work

[@gm3087]

great work Joey!

[@mambobond]

Great video, great piece.

[@FullSendPrecision]

Man that table saw sled is incredible!

[@coleve8596]

Excellent as always

[@justcruisin109]

Beautiful work Joey. Getting your head around those leg joints with dovetails in two directions would be a feat for me - you make it look easy though. I see you still use your panel saw a lot like a cabinet makers tablesaw - working to the right of the blade but old habits and training die hard I guess. I'd like one but space is the issue for me and I can't part with my other toys. Cheers and thanks for the insight on something I'd likely not try.

[@mylifethoughts4454]

You are an artist, I wish you good luck

[@cspann831]

I am impressed! Will have to make one for myself soon. I worked a lot with multi-segmented wooden dovetail extension slides when I was restoring antiques. Never occurred to me to incorporate slides in the rails. Genius!

[@aaronbaird3905]

The subjects covered in this woodworking website t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.

[@espnmk]

beautiful piece . client is going to be pleased with this table in hes dining room...

[@kenmarapese9085]

Very nice, excellent vid! I've been using the wipe on poly for years, it's "fast" and it protects better, although it doesn't compare to the feel of a hand rubbed oil finish!

[@kenshinkan2012]

Great Job Joey

[@ericfrisard2060]

Very useful to mention the time you spent doing a tak or another ! As a beginner, it is very hard to tell if I'm slow or not. Thanks for the video and beautilful job !

[@kuffyswoodwork]

So I read the description, perhaps I will maybe will check out your podcast. Maybe 😀

[@hebierob]

Great job sir!

[@georgel5308]

You always do some fantastic work. And amazing videos. Great job

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thank you

[@Majk246]

I love this nicely done mate

[@tomeras]

Superb craftsmanship, Impeccable joinery. I want to like you when i grow up (I'm 39 y.o.)

[@donfinch862]

Bloody nice. Think I've said this before, don't stop making vids - I enjoy 'em too much.

[@okiwatashi2349]

Really nice work

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Looks like a very stressful build . . . great video as usual . . . cheers.

[@jasperrogers7887]

very nice design for expansion and leaf

[@Fuckyougoogle4life]

Fine craftsmanship mate

[@Santamonicadrainco]

This is stunning. Lot of work but worth it!

[@Blazer19742002]

Beautiful table! Tfs :-)

[@TheMrbrrruno]

Great job master!!!!

[@akinsen23]

Great table... Greetings from Germany :)

[@nathansilver9190]

Nice job, I just subscribed to your channel. I love your projects.....and I love the fact that there is no arrogance and ego.....just sound work and skill. Well done.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome table. That sliding table saw is so clutch. Being able to joint one edge and then quickly rip it to size seems like such a time saver

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Yes its such a multi use tool , far more versatile then a smaller table saw .

[@ericfrisard2060]

Is that his kind of saw not very common in the US ? Here in France, and europe I believe, it is very common in woorworking shops.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

@@ericfrisard2060 they have them. But they are not common

[@jaimedelgado9198]

De Cúcuta, Colombia. Felicitaciones

[@needtobebywater1984]

Nice editing. Nice work too.

[@IbnShahid]

Yes! It’s an extender!

[@user-kk2tz9fd1f]

good design and good performance

[@fishinbite]

Great table! How do you remove the hardened epoxy to ensure it doesnt show up when finishing?

[@WOODRF]

Very good.

[@bes8777]

Love the idea thx !!!

[@walterrider9600]

thank you

[@ernestrece]

Perfect

[@eb5ua]

Thanks!

[@naftamarsan4555]

Awesome

[@cobberpete1]

I too have been frustrated by how much wood can cup/ warp over night :( So sympathies with you. I like Minwax and also wipe on with a rag rather than a brush. to me it does not leave the brush marks or drips. A very nice Table. I hope you factored in the extra time for the BB ends and the extra flattening. A days is a lot of money in a commercial business.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers , it did take longer than had thought. But super happy with the finish

[@stephenwagar2663]

You Have Made Many Very Nice Projects , But This Table Is By Far ( in my opinion ) The Best , The Cleanest , The Most Beautiful ..Oh Crap ...Just Hit Me In The Head With A Shovel

[@theequalizer4016]

i'll make one of this someday...no matter how long it takes for me to do it!!! lol

[@jaimedelgado9198]

Trabaja muy bien el man, claro que con ayuda de exelentes herramientas pero de todos modos un berraco.

[@robzilla2165]

You made the sliding dovetail look easier than it actually is, not thru editing but with your ability. I like the oak and cherry combo. Did you notice any blotching with the cherry? Great project, well done, thanks for posting

[@grahamstephenson1505]

Hi Joey- what’s your thoughts on using the big domino for the breadboard ends?

[@Belg1970]

Joey, wouldn't you want to add a stop so the two sections of the table couldn't be fully pulled apart? Love the look of the finished piece very much.

[@liliput50]

Hi Joey found this the other day on youtube and thought of you. Ancient Technology of Making Cabinet Furnitures - Impossible Looking Dovetail Joint

[@jadedelite]

What is that glorious table saw sled and where to I get one!?

[@wolfgangfath6315]

Thanks for your awesome video. I like it very much. Great craftsmanship! I have a question about using Epoxi Glue: Doesn`t seem to be a 2K one. Or if, it should have a big processing time, preventing you are in hurry with assembling the counter framework. From which plant do you buy it? Why don`t you use normal wood glue like Titebond or Titebond-Ultimate for that job?

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Interesting with the pins in the breadboards. I would've thought they were the right amount of "drawing", having done mine too little. Must be a fine line between too much and not enough. Awesome design man!

[@nicharvey7211]

Hey Joey. I know you mentioned ut but I didn't quite catch it. What's the name of the finish you applied? Cheers bro and lov'n the podcasts!

[@stephenaubuchon2442]

Great design. I think I will attempt something similar. What did you do to keep the sliding rails from sliding all the way apart when you pull the ends open?

[@BIGVR007]

What length were the rails for the dovetails and how long was the table when closed , without centre part of table

[@papichulo4080]

Bery good

[@b.reasonable6900]

Joey, thanks for the very instructional video - a beautiful table. It wasnt clear to me how you prevented the table from coming completely apart if it was pulled too far. How did you accomplish that?

[@themuffinman-killer]

Exactly

[@themuffinman-killer]

That’s what I was wondering

[@matthewlorfeld5412]

Is there any reason you didn't dovetail the rails on the short ends of the table going in to the legs?

[@TheSouders]

How did you attach the table top to the base?

[@prolific9002]

Great workmanship Joey. The end result table looks solid. Have you seen the extender tables where the middle section has a hinged middle? The middle section centre line is hinged and the two panels fold up from the outer edge of the table (into a V with apex on longitudinal centre line) and folds under the main table. Then the two end table surfaces push together to fill the gap? No doubt you have. It's a tried and true method of extension where the legs contacting the ground remain fixed. I like your table but my only negative comment is "if I asked my wife and sister to extend the table" I would have to do it. ;-) regardless. great work and keep at it.

[@dwaterman11]

This type of table is called a "Butterfly leaf"

[@ariffe]

joey: no one will ever see the jigsaw finish also joey: dovetail legs y'all

[@clydedecker765]

Joey, I LOVE this piece. I did not see where you added stops to prevent the dovetails from coming apart while trying to add leaves. How did you do that?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

No stopper, the last 150mm or so is actually quite hard to pull out due to the weight kind of jambing the dovetails.

[@hansleyollivierre8445]

Bench wood lumber 👌👋👏👍🤳💰🇻🇨🤝

[@Itslvle]

The small blocks to keep the middle peace in place under the table probably won't get much force applied to them unless you really jam the middle piece in there, but it always worries me if something is impacted and is just held on by inflexible glue like CA or epoxy. They're just too damn brittle sometimes. A dowel or two takes care of the problem. But like I said, unlikely to cause problems with this one.
