I love a good chamfer.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Hard to beat it.

[@AngieD300]

Wow...this table is amazing. Like a 'modern' farm table...I love it! Really clean work...definitely goals for me. Thanks for sharing!!

[@DavidPaulNewtonScott]

I am obsessed with these x structure jobs all over the place also very strong.

[@AranaDiscoteca95]

Chamfer added a nice touch, and the half lap x braces came out looking good too

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks! I try to throw in a chamfer when I can. Lol.

[@KnottyDogWoodshop]

Awesome video! Liked the X brace detail as a half lap joint. Top notch Brandon.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks man! I love doing half laps, When they work out that is. haha.

[@PenaltyBoxWoodshop]

Gotta love a quick and easy project!!!!

Great video! It’s been fun watching you progress through projects and help keep us other makers motivated at the same time!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks man! Appreciate you following along!

[@georgiannburdette1256]

The chamfered edge was very nice and unusual...something I never would have thought of...good job!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks! I love chamfers.

[@mmcc_woodshop6288]

Awesome build, and great video/editing/flow to everything. Thanks for sharing your build!

Thank you!

[@trueitbycjtruitt9546]

Good looking end table , turned out nice

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thank you! What's your favorite furniture style?

[@trueitbycjtruitt9546]

@@WalkersWoodworks I was a cabinet builder most of my life so I have done numerous styles , but here lately I've been drawn to this style that is in this video , to me for some reason it give more of a less manufacturer look and more of a hand crafted feel which is very pleasant to the eye .👊😊🤙

[@WalkersWoodworks]

The farmhouse look seems pretty popular. I like it myself. I appreciate you watching!

[@snipe757]

That turned out nice. Very clean work. Great job, man. All of your videos are good. Regarding other ideas, videos with tips and tricks for beginners on topics such as tool safety, basic projects, etc would be interesting.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks! That's what I've been trying to focus on lately. I have a video on my recommended tools for beginners and some other tips videos.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice project Brandon! Thanks for sharing the video.👌😎JP

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks so much for watching. How do you feel about the x?

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Brandon! the X looks good 😎

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks!!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Friend!

[@lukemartin9037]

Cool build, man! Love the "TTF" mark on your biscuit joiner. I'm going out to write that on mine too!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Haha I was tired of measuring everytime.

[@chrisvanderwielen1530]

Sorry for my woodworking newbieness, but.... "TTF"?

[@lukemartin9037]

@@chrisvanderwielen1530 Table Top Fastener. Also referred to as Z-clips. You can install them with the biscuit joiner by cutting a slot into the inside of your apron and then the clips seat inside the slot and screw into the underside of the table top.

[@chrisvanderwielen1530]

@@lukemartin9037 Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks Luke! I missed this one somehow.

[@randyowens264]

I really like the chamfer you use in this build. I think it really added to the finished look of the project.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks Randy! Appreciate that, I always like to throw in a little detail.

[@scottrobertson9788]

Looks awesome, great work! So the expresses were glued in place, no other connection necessary? Came out great, I’m not sure I’d be confident in getting such an accurate cut! I guess I could sneak some pocket hole screws in the back side of it?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Ya they are pretty much just for show.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i like the chamfer. I use it on most of my projects too. How did you like that sander? i hear it is a close to the Festool but much cheaper.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I love the sander. It's actually more than festool though. This is the Mirka Deros 6". It's the nicest, smoothest, most comfortable, balanced sander I've ever used.

[@kylewalker6846]

This is nice. It's rustic but clean and modern looking at the same time. How did you account for wood movement in the piece though (the legs being part of the table top and those X brackets being glued to the top and bottom shelf specifically)? Again, nice build. Regards!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I guess time will tell. The movement from a piece only this large shouldn't be a ton. But this is mine so I can keep an eye on it and see what happens over time.

[@billbenoit1607]

I really like how alder finishes.... how do you like that Mirka sander?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I love that thing! So nice. Also I use alder for alot of projects. I like it alot.

[@rmcdaniel423]

What do I think about the chamfer along the top? I think I need to buy a chamfer bit, that's what I think.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Good plan!

[@scottsmith4417]

Brandon...what were the angles on the X braces? I'd like to replicate the X braces for an upcoming build I have in mind.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

It will depend on the size of the table. I usually just lay them out and mark them

[@Gonz333]

What is the purpose of pre drilling the small hole before using the kreg bit?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

So the screw has a pre drilled hole to go in.

[@dstrandb]

Going to preface this by saying I'm a novice woodworker that hasn't experimented with a lot yet, just watched videos while I'm getting my workshop set up. My question is regarding the x braces and only gluing them on. As I understood it, gluing on an end isn't very strong, is there a chance these could just pop out? I know it's likely they won't recieve any contact, just thought I'd ask. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Yea it's more just a visual aspect than structural. It should be fine unless someone kicks it or something haha.

[@davidphair7725]

Is there a cut list for this project?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Not for this one, sorry.

[@martybacher8392]

I missed what you used as a finish coat......??

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I used Rubio Monocoat oil+2c pure

[@theycallmejphil5018]

Do you have dimensions on the table?

[@XxStratAttackxX]

What did this table sell for? I dig it.
