[@natepeterson7145]

Now that's a video not wasted due to lack of B roll. The reveal is just as important as the process. Thanks for listening to us!

[@jeremyleblanc1788]

G1hqhjhhkkkjjj Juli😅in den Sommerferien in der Kita oder 8oo0😅😅😅

[@garykee9117]

The guy from vector was a boss when moving the table. Absolute unit

[@ryangross5446]

you could see those biceps really doing some work on the second floor. Thank goodness this table was for service members not for like accountants LMAO

[@azzaisme]

​@@ryangross5446 you should watch the accountant. Now if it was for librarians....

[@custos3249]

Need a napkin to wipe your chin?

[@llxPANDAxll]

Not one PIVOT!!! Ross would be disappointed 😂20:38

[@melanierivers12]

That's why I came to the comments! 😂

[@leenoah1505]

God Bless Sis for trying to help with the delivery. ❤😂

[@morganelainebuchholz7535]

I did what I could....others in this comment section are talking trash about me but they weren't even there.... LOL Their egos got triggered seeing a woman assisting with a "Mans job"

[@irvingmartinez98]

Being there for support would have been help on its own. You could she she did as much as she could just like everyone else. Loved it!

[@noiamhippyman]

Damn talk about a team building exercise! Props to every single person that helped carry that table up the stairs.

[@hulkthedane7542]

NICE build. I absolutely LOVE the way you, John, communicate with everybody during the moving of the slab! It makes SO much sense 👍👍👍... and I like to see, that you, being the boss, take the heavy end. 💪💪💪

[@YouTube]

such a beautiful table! now you just need a ton of coasters

[@GAGE04]

youtube 23 likes no comments ? let me change that

[@steveferguson1232]

This is your best video to me period. Not only is this table the best you ever designed and made but the story and the organization who commissioned you to do this is the most important part of the video. I salute you John for an amazing job and video

[@dennisonseeto]

That is like the Nightmare unsighted delivery ever! Glad you guy's got it all in and sorted. I build fish tanks for a living, and I always always, get the customer to send us pictures or video of the delivery route so we know what we are up against. If there are stairs, we either get the customers to provide man power, or we hire extra people for the job.We can't improvise like you guy's did with glass. 🙂

[@saschawittig328]

Honestly, I would not even try to lift it up that way. Some cornerst looked really sketchy. If you get stuck, you are fucked and may have to cut the table out. That would be the absolute worst case. Just rent the truck for a few more days and get a small crane to lift it thru the window. Removing and reinstalling that kind of windows is not a big deal.

[@brwaldbaum7284]

I had heard that customers should do a cardboard mock-up of the aquarium and attempt to maneuver it to the aquarium's intended destination.

[@thepagan5432]

Good Job, really nice end product. When John moved the slab by himself I was sure he was going to pinch his gut between the slab and table, luckily he breathed in at the right moment 😂😂 Stay safe and well 👍

[@John_Malecki]

Extreme gut control is a blessing and a curse

[@anthonythompson4110]

I wish there was a shop like this locally. I would volunteer my labor just to learn new skills! You and your crew does amazing work

[@ivandalisay7609]

When carrying the table up the stairs, did anyone yell, “PIVOT!” ?

[@rikkietikkie2107]

I did not believe it myself they did not edit that in 😅

[@DrHQuinzel]

My eyes got bigger just watching y'all ascend that staircase

[@adamritchey4209]

Pretty sure I held my breath through the entire stair sequence

[@peterwall1181]

Great job with the delivery. I love the way you took control of it and vocalized all instructions. However I was a hair more nervous when you flipped the top yourself. I could feel the amount of puckering you were doing trying to balance that beast on edge while trying to shimmy around the tables. Great job!

[@seanloughran6714]

For the resin, if you do a thin coat with a paint brush of epoxy first it creates a perfect barrier and never leaks in exchange for a bit of dry time.

[@TheTrueSandmanKing]

The second I saw all those stairs and the pole, I right away thought of the Friends Pivot blooper.

[@maplelump]

That delivery, bravo to everyone for getting it up the stairs safely!

[@sureshot311]

You guys really knocked it out of the park with the deaign, the implementation, and the team work. I appreciate the extra B roll. Ha. Its gorgeous. Amazing work.

[@myfinalheaven9590]

Awesome Conference Table. For once, the delivery of the project was the most interesting part. You and the team did a fantastic job for a company providing employment opportunities. Outstanding 😊😊

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I love how that thing turned out; the stained wood with the power coated metal accents along with the gold lettering & the recessed coins, everything goes together so well!

[@thebonsaiprojectkernow]

Such a stunning piece bro😍 well done on the delivery too that looked like a mission 💪💪

[@EvanDunville]

What an epic table!! The new team also seems to have some great chemistry would be great to see more of them in future videos.

[@rodwhite4492]

Beautiful job. That’s a heck of a slab. I was expecting to see the clip from Friends when they were trying to get the couch up the stairs! “Pivot!”

[@tamis9112]

thank you for that, here I thought I was the only one thinking this... lol . I was waiting for someone to yell.. PIVOT!!

[@thomaskeane5723]

Great video, for what seems like a great client! As a veteran (and fellow Pitt alum), this checked several boxes. Love the high-altitude lift! H2P!!

[@Trapper_Creek_2024]

Y’all have hit your exercise goals for the year! Congratulations!! That really is an incredibly beautiful table. Well done, crew!

[@matthewcromer3067]

dude. love the build (wholly cow large slab). Seriously the Vector overview you did made me tear up a little. I love the fact that that a company like this exists. Good stuff. keep it going.

[@XanderFassette]

John woke up early to post this, I stayed up all night to enjoy it.

[@SirIsaacNewtonOfficial]

Story of my life! Love it when I wake up at 130am just ready to go for the day.. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Mel_Issa_143]

Omg it is so intense watching you guys get it up the stairs! Watching it happen on a 55” tv is nuts!!

[@MrBez007]

What an effort. Absolutely amazing the team work getting that slab up there. The move was almost as impressive as the build. Well done

[@adeeliqbal3925]

What a work of art!!!! Really admire your professionalism and dedication to the task! Glad you all managed to transport it to the meeting room!

[@markwilson6205]

Great video, John! Excellent project for a great organization. Love it!

[@RedKamikaze85]

Loved seeing it come together. I was definitely butt-puckering watching you all go up the stairs. Another beautiful piece!

[@helimech0]

John, thank you for supporting the veteran community. I am an Air Force veteran, 1972-1976. I served in the continental U.S. and make no apologies for it. I am not in the job market, but this company seems to be on the up and up. Job well done John.

[@inmyimage1081]

why would anyone need to apologize for serving during the height of the Vietnam War and the tension of the cold war? There could also be significant stress in domestic jobs in the Air Force, for example… my dad commanded Titan II missile control and launch teams which meant he spent a MOST of time living in the silo command and operations centers/bunkers 50 feet underground underground knowing that his wife and toddler son would be vaporized because they lived in an area absolutely guarantied to get hit by several nuclear warheads. So… how much stress do you think he had during the same time period you served?

[@overwhelminglyaverage]

My palms got REAL SWEATY watching y'all deliver the table. Stunning work, great effort from a involved!

[@g.e.fourie5672]

Absolutely stunning!! Awesome job! And oh man that was some teamwork!

[@markkazee1997]

John really needs to install a chain hoist in the cnc room.

[@John_Malecki]

This is a brilliant idea

[@NGMonocrom]

4:08 ~ Two thumbs-up and a Like for the literary reference.👍👍

[@saraestrapala5306]

Whoa. Great job! And moving the slab up the stairs was intense! Thanks for all the B roll.

[@joujimiichi1]

I was sweating and holding my my breath during the delivery. I’m sure everyone had the same nightmare of it falling through the center of the spiral stairs all the way to the bottom floor. I felt genuinely relieved when it was fully assembled

[@pacificcoasttrains3785]

Everything about this video is awesome- the build, the installation, the end result and the mission of the client.

[@ericnicastro]

Beautiful build! Did I miss something though, why do all of your Woodpeckers tools have blue tape covering the logo?

[@mattjett4258]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

That is one gorgeous table, John. Well done to the whole crew.

[@TotalBoat]

Absolutely gorgeous table!! Awesome work, guys!

[@johnnyb95678]

Hardest delivery I have ever seen. Can't even imagine how much pain releiver was used the next day. Great job, great build, and a beautiful table. Thank you for sharing.

[@hoopstb]

Alright man. I live in UT, so what I’m fit’nuh tell you might not apply. BUT, close to my house is an acrylic distributor… and they allow me to “raid” their scrap bins… and when you use acrylic with epoxy, it’s all reusable, and it separates from the epoxy with ease!!!!! So, there might be a plastics distributor near you that you could partner with/allow you to raid their scraps… The acrylic idea woulda helped with the edge epoxy pour, and I have found the acrylic method worked WELL!

[@John_Malecki]

Thats a great idea

[@daveloderhose874]

The table far outshines that generic conference room . First class work.

[@albertj2459]

Awesome table for an amazing company! Vector is doing a huge service by assisting veterans with job placement.

[@worstworkshop]

I just want to say props to the production guys for holding the viewer's attention for five whole minutes of carrying a table upstairs.

[@jimmckay2337]

I got a hernia just watching everybody carrying it up the stairs. Beautiful build.

[@mihkelallorg5982]

Hands down THE most awesome table I've seen built on KZbin!

[@KAYAKN]

Great looking build John. You and your team should be very proud. Curious to how many man hours to get the slab out of the truck to the conference room?

[@travistibbs5402]

Max pucker factor on that install. Great looking table!

[@johnmaier1215]

Amazing table. Amazing company doing amazing work. You were like... 5 minutes away from my house. I drive by the big dish looking building almost every day.

[@humerafaruqi7152]

The stairs were a pivot moment...great job...much love from India❤

[@sportstertaco]

All I can hear in my head while you are taking it up the stairs is PIVOT!! Great looking table!!

[@markduggan3451]

That table is awesome. Well done for not just building it but for getting it up those stairs.

[@Out-to-Pastor]

3:47 and that's why we wear steel toes in the shop lol love it. Safety 2nd for the win.

[@cpl_0503]

Moving that into the building was painful to watch. I can't imagine the stress of actually doing it. GREAT episode!

[@psychorabbitt]

The only thing missing from getting that thing up the stairs was John yelling, "Pivot! PIVOT!!"

[@951WoodworkDesigns-bx4kn]

That is one beautiful table guys! Although the delivery of the finished table sucked balls, it was well worth it. The Vector guy seems very pleased with the look of the table. From what I saw, the table makes the entire office look like crap. They need to purchase some awesome chairs, change the carpet and put another color down on the walls to turn their conference room into a table showroom!

[@BobTheOldBuilder]

Always a good watch fellas! I'm constantly asked to make family + friends tables. And now that retired with time, do...like tops, dislike supports.. so what are those 3 steel-bound ones you are using? Can you provide a link? Thanks.

[@woolfeofficial]

"If my spinal cord shoots out of my ass, get it on film" Jesus christ, that caught me so off guard - I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard.

[@joeclark2514]

I recognized the area you delivered it to instantly. Off 120th and Mariposa in Westminster. I used to live off 119th. Great table for a great company.

[@fcschoenthal]

Beautiful slab and awesome base design. One of your best. - Chris

[@bluenorthwoodworking]

I knew Johnny was packin 16’ wood. He’s a big fella

[@jamm8284]

Just as you put the table top down say, Great work, now we know the practice table fits, we can bring the real one up now 😂😂😂

[@johnbrooks1422]

Hi fantastic looking table Great VIDEO

[@TheDukeOfSaudi]

While they were moving the table up the stairs, all I could hear in my head was Ross yelling, pivot… pivot… PIVOTTTTT!

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

Your CNC will handle slabs much longer than 16' by letting excess length hang out past end and then rotate stock/slab 180 degrees and finish routing of excess length. Very nice project. Ray Stormont

[@DakotaRomanLucas]

I loved this video and build. Especially impressed with the lady who was there to help move the slab. Nothing like a lady getting her hands dirty 😊

[@bryanmartin8336]

When you got to the plug for Vector all I could think for a minute was "Sleep Number". PTSD for sure. But at least this plug was for something worth caring about.

[@GlaaiveLP]

After this experience maybe you can brainstorm a method to build these huge long conference tables in pieces that you can then assemble on site, to make getting the table to where it needs to be easier. The finished table is gorgeous, also!

[@joecushing2656]

Awesome build boys! I’m hiring in Boston right now and I’m going to check out Vector.

[@itsmeArrisC]

Love a bit of walnut, the gold really sets it off, I was a little confused by one of the vector logo's engraved. On the wall of their office there is a triangular "4 prong" logo. But engraved on the table top there are only 3 prongs on the same logo? Like a backwards capital F?

[@andrewzach1921]

That table is never going to leave that space in one piece. Ridiculous ask when you are up multiple floors and there is no freight elevator. Awesome work John. I hope it was worth the effort.

[@joecuddington3205]

Wheeled furniture dollies would have made the last leg of the table hauling journey in the office building so much easier. I know how you feel about the back, I'm 6'8" and my back after 5 years in the Marines and 11 years and counting as an LEO ain't in the greatest shape. Which keep up the great videos, I started a small side job woodworking last year and your videos have helped out a lot.

[@charlieodom9107]

19:43...I am getting Friends vibes at this point. PIVOT! PIVOT!!!

[@MrGrant440]

INCREDIBLE !! Well done fellas

[@simonwoodworks8840]

I love the equality in the install! That lady really helped lift that table 😂😂😂😂 serious note that’s one epic table!!

[@BMOORE344]

John, Beautiful table. I hurt my back and smashed a finger just watching you guys. Awesome job

[@haphhhazard]

Hey guys, I do some dining tables with epoxy as well. I have also done some epoxy inlay like you guys did. I have always built up a dam with caulking, and filled the epoxy to the top because, if I don't, the epoxy shrinkage when it cures, has left it below the surface. I noticed you guys didn't do this. You never have a problem with the epoxy shrinking below the table surface? Thanks for all the great videos. Gary

[@thomasleonard9685]

“If my spinal cord shoots out my asshole, GET IT ON FILM” may be the funniest thing I hear in ‘24

[@paulwiebe6958]

When I was in College I worked for a furniture company, we had to deliever a 16 foot conference table. We put it on top of the elevator and we stopped the elevator just before got to the floor for deliver the table. Maybe next time. Great Table..

[@94jhammer]

that delivery deserves every viewer to subscribe! Well done.

[@GarryAndrews_]

That old ducky helping you lift the table…. LOL

[@brandonmiller5940]

Been following for awhile and yall never disappoint. I enjoy watching every project. Still waiting for yall to try and carve kayaks 😂

[@raymondmedeiros451]

Just a gorgeous table! Love your videos. One question, have you ever built any table using Box elder? ( AKA Flaming maple ) Lots of red flames in most but it is a soft wood. I would love to see you guys make a table from this wood.

[@niko_16]

The only thing i didnt build from the WW was the drop down workbench... i just didnt think itd be all that useful. But now a few years on, after seeing yours stocked with all the random junk that doesnt have a home in my shop, i think its time to finally build it! You can never have too many work benches!

[@munchie3310]

Held my breath going up those stairs! Nice work!

[@steigmic]

Epic build again. Congratulations on the table, and on getting some dope builds.

[@krisaustin7675]

Even though you haven’t reached a mill yet, I could definitely use a shop so I could teach my daughter how to safely use equipment and teach her a great trade. I love your videos and I always watch them. I’m not sure how you haven’t reached over a million subs yet. You’re awesome man.

[@nicholaslockhart5409]

LOL "Never underestimate the power of the handicapped" in my Wayans voice. 09:10 I'd love to come work with you guys and learn a few things.

[@Unf0rG1Vin]

Thank you for being the First Maker on youtube to advertise a Product Certified for use in Canada!

[@johnmclain6535]

Nuts! Just nuts on the delivery. Great build and design as well. Since it took y'all a year I guess I don't feel so bad about 3 months for a kitchen table. Lol

[@roBLINDhood]

That move was insane! I was puckered the whole time!!

[@jimblack6733]

And of course you pulled it off! Nice work and congratulations!!

[@JPWyo307]

First video I’ve ever seen of yours, and instantly subscribed.. everything about this is freaking incredible. Love it! Especially the “If my spinal cord shoots out of my a**h**e get it on film”.. 😂 oh and the table is insanely cool! 😎

[@Kikerumbo]

That's a nice "coffee table"! What's that finish you sprayed? I suppose it's more durable than finishes like Rubio and it's easier to apply. Thanks!

[@Coreyrkennedy]

Awesome build! I wonder if that long band of epoxy across the grain will have issues with wood movement. Either way, that delivery looked miserable but very impressive!

[@davespangler9125]

Alrighty, now we need to see a collab with Kentucky Ballistics. We all need a table flipping contest between you and Scott in our lives.
