Hardwood coffee table - DIY Build

Designed and built this coffee table as a 40th birthday present for my brother. The table was built out of beautiful messmate timber, with epoxy filled holes, and was ultimately finished with hardwax oil. Tried to keep the design as clean and timeless as possible - so he can hopefully hold onto it forever.
Most of the pieces were joined together with dominoes, and figure 8 connectors were used to secure the top to the base, allowing for seasonal wood movement.
The build wasn't too complex in the end... but did still take a fair amount of work! Super happy with how it turned out - I might have to build another one for myself in the future.

Just look at the grain in that wood 😍. You don’t waste time, mate, and you make it look pretty routine. Absolutely gorgeous design and build. And also love the quiet and clean editing. Thank you for being awesome

[@izabelka5]

Sorry, but this is not DIY, this is MASTERWORK!

[@KastnerFurniture]

It's gorgeous! I have never heard of messmate timber! Had to Google it and was sad when I realized I could probably never have it. Live the grain pattern. Great design and so well executed! New sub!

[@KastnerFurniture]

Thanks for the kind words, and yeah - we sure do get some lovely timber to work with here!

Turned out am great work

[@Olmanturtle]

Your channel came across my feed today. Have to tell how refreshing it is to watch. After watching channels like Blacktail studios and Bourbon Moth it is nice watch a funiture maker that lets their craft tell the story. As talented as Blacktail and Bourbon Moth are they honestly talk too much. I will be looking forward to watching your build videos in my feed. Your coffee table looked amazing mate. 👍🏿🍺🇦🇺

Absolutely beautiful mate. What oil did you use? Looks fantastic and really brought out the grain

[@KastnerFurniture]

Cheers! It's two coats of hardwax oil, pretty much the only finish I use on pieces like this

[@hashh6924]

@@KastnerFurnitureyou seriously have done an amazing job. Well done and thank you for sharing

[@simonmetz8587]

Beautiful wood and design, what species is that?

[@KastnerFurniture]

@simonmetz8587 cheers! It's built out of messmate (eucalyptus obliqua)

[@therealdamnpenguins]

Subscribed.... Great work! You really did justice to that beautiful wood... Since when is Tassie Oak called messmate btw?

[@KastnerFurniture]

Cheers, the grain was a real beauty! So Messmate (stringybark) is just a single species of eucalypt, whereas Tas Oak is a few different trees that does include messmate, but you don't really know exactly what you're getting with it... Vic Ash is a combination of two of those three, excluding messmate (but is grown in Vic not Tas)

[@therealdamnpenguins]

Hello, great job. You like Pédulla Studio?

Yeah of course, his work is incredible!

[@istvanmiklos8799]

Beautiful work! What is the angle of the legs?

[@KastnerFurniture]

Thanks! They're 14 degrees

[@ilantwito]

What wood is it?

[@KastnerFurniture]

Messmate, type of eucalyptus wood

[@mostersixoutdoors5310]

What angle are the legs?

[@KastnerFurniture]

Think they ended up around 14 degrees, well at least that's what I had it as in sketchup... may have varied it slightly in the actual build based on what looked best to the eye.

[@lulumi8636]

What kind of wood is this?

[@KastnerFurniture]

It's called messmate, just one of many different species of eucalyptus native to Australia (also known as stringybark, or Tasmanian Oak)

[@themightykabool]

your power tools are so quiet!

[@MtnDewWarrior]

Can it really be called diy if youre a furniture maker? I do hvac, and i wouldnt call it diy if i did my furnace, but if i built my own coffee table it would be diy

[@KastnerFurniture]

I'm a web developer, doing this in my garage on weekends... it's DIY for me!

[@DamnKP11b]

Good rule of thumb is that if you did it yourself then it’s diy, but.. and this is where it gets tricky.. if you had someone else do it or went to the store to buy it then it’s not diy. lol

[@MtnDewWarrior]

@DamnKP11b obviously that is exactly what diy is. However diy is typically when you try to do it yourself instead of hiring a professional to do it. As I said I do hvac and have for almost 10 years. If I replace my own furnace i would consider that diy. However, if my brother replaced his, it would be diy. It's really just semantics
