[@ChiraqVet]

Man thats one hell of build. Could be worth alot too. Good craftsmanship dont come cheap. Good job.

[@Az_N.S.O.L.]

NORM! Norm Abram is the goat. Been watching him for 25 years, and is the reason I fell in love with woodworking.

[@jdwilling]

Me too! He's the best.

[@d.pacheco7629]

John, thank you very much. Your videos helped me build my own pool table. The result was incredible. Hugs from your brazilian fan

[@jdwilling]

Thank you and very cool!

[@adrianbutanda651]

Great quality videos. I honestly don’t know why you’re not popular

[@jdwilling]

Thank you very much!

[@augustoabarquez3722]

Great job sir John! Im in a search for building my own pool table. Yours is simply the simplest and the best way to do it. Keep making sir! And keep safe! A fan from the Islands of Philippines.

[@jdwilling]

Thanks, will do!

[@louisfranco2888]

really enjoyed your vids , I worked at a billiard mfg co . building setting up tables about 20 years ago ... Once set up is complete and you have correct dimensions you begin to run and check -- Billiards is a precision sport -props for your work.... ....

[@jdwilling]

Thank you Louis

[@jdwilling]

All valid considerations worth minding. Glad you are enjoying them and I appreciate your comments!

[@niduscussion9372]

How did you make the slate?

[@hwfranjr]

Lol,if we all had a shop like his and all those tools we might could do it.

[@viksh17]

i watched the videos for the pool table.. im quite interested in building a table but the thing is that i don't have the plan to have the proper measurements. i wonder if it was possible for you to give me the measurements for the table.

[@vernfrier1771]

I've watched every one of these and I've put them in a saved KZbin folder. But, did anyone besides me catch a very dangerous thing that he did on this episode? Look at the 9:15 and beyond. You can NOT put a board on a sled and also have one end stop against the rep fence. This could be a major kick-back if that board moves just a bit or if the fence and blade and not perfectly parallel to each other. I made this mistake years ago and a board almost went right thru a wall. The end that is against the rip fence must be free.

[@maze3086]

is an inch the smallest measurement of the imperial measuring system(in terms of lengths) or why do you use fractions to describe lengths under one inch ?

[@MitsuoRLCoach]

yes it is... well fractions of an inch but yes. lol it's literally inches and then centimeters bc americans are weird

[@degieugmad6677]

Were did you buy a rubber cushion like that

[@victorcubas5137]

hi. amazing work big fan, quick question, did he ever shared drawings for rails? for dimensions and such???

[@jeffyates4813]

I wonder if you still have a left hand the way you reach over a running blade.

[@jdwilling]

Indeed I do. Thanks for watching!

[@degieugmad6677]

Sir do you have a rubber cushion for the rail? I would like to buy like that

[@1stdayoftherestofyourlives]

So compound angle os 15 degree and 39, correct?

[@damiensilva2299]

i wont be able to do this. how much would it cost to get something like this done i believe my table similar without the feather.

[@geneavella4036]

John: Love your pool table video......What you need for for drilling your pocket holes is a Shopsmith to complete your shop...You'll love it.

[@jdwilling]

Thank you. That would have done the trick

[@hospitaladministrator3359]

I’m mechanically challenged so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I saw you create the holes for the dowels, but then I saw you put dowels into the holes with glue which were exact size. In other videos, I’ve seen people use dowels where part of the dowel would have been in the leg, and the other in whatever piece they were trying to connect. You drilled a hole then filled the hole with a dowel the exact same size. Could you explain that to me? How was that better than using screws?

[@str8kronic]

The dowels were a stronger wood to better hold the screws he was planning to use

[@noconz0727]

I missed the part where you got the slate from and all the pool table hardware...

[@jdwilling]

Got the slate from a local billiards store which is the only way this project was feasible. I talked about this in the first episode if you'd care to hear more details on it. All the other hardware I acquired from multiple online billiard retailers.

[@nickkyleomaguing9020]

how r u sir john i only asking if what brand name you use your rubber for bumper what you do reccomend for me thnks..

[@jdwilling]

Sorry but I do not remember what brand I used, nor where I got it.

[@mr4mandan]

Hey mate love the videos. Do u have the pool table drawing on sketchup available to the public. Would love to have a look over it? Is it available on the 3d warehouse? Regards Dan

[@jdwilling]

Thank you! You can download it from my website. Effortsinfrugality dot com /pooltable dot html

[@victorcubas5137]

@@jdwilling mmmm cant find ur webside, is it still available?

[@Nein01]

i agree! watching this video made me extremely nervous..

[@RichardCreel]

How did you calculate the length that you needed to cut the rails? Thanks!

[@jamessaari7143]

i would love a pool to buy a pool table form you john willing pls let me know if you are wanting to that for me tanks

[@evatatus]

Roll your sleeves up sir!!!!

[@ODballin357]

Makes me nervous just watching.

[@HobbiesInterests]

what kind of wood did you use for the rails ? legs ?

[@MitsuoRLCoach]

f ing love the intro hahaha

[@strolgen]

@jpheisz I second that

[@Metal-Possum]

It's not a round peg in a square hole, it's a square peg in a round hole. It doesn't take an idiot to know the latter really doesn't work that well.

[@toozamachine]

chare table drawing to me please. I want to practice handmade.

[@sarge727]

the only thing i care about is how your face changed midway through

[@ThreeTwoVictor]

I want that 'Big Sexy' shirt!

[@jdwilling]

Can't have it. It is one of my favorites, still...

[@nighttrainjames]

I appreciate the time and effort you made, but a few technical DWGs would have been nice. I don't care about your equipment, I don't care about your technique...technical drawings, period, I can take it from there...

[@YuriyKhovansky]

I can make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready for do it :D

[@sleeptoes2401]

hi sir, if its okay for you can I copy the instructions you have. You can email me through this email [e-mail], thank you sir

[@evgenpatotskiy177]

I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.

[@jot9011]

Wood pix is apparently a scam website. A "disorganized mess of random plans scraped off the internet" woodgears.ca/ted/

[@djkulp1]

You keep reaching OVER a spinning blade. Make sure you have extremely good medical insurance.

[@marijhosapasap6004]

Xx

[@hwfranjr]

Not about rails or making rails,all about his freaking pockets,waste of time

[@abbyanderson4171]

Okay Do you really need that annoying fucking rock music?

[@nevenification]

yes

[@georgehumph2526]

ahhh! quit with the ear-insulting rock music.

[@jdwilling]

I no longer put music in my videos. Sorry it wasn't to your taste.
