The table design is like a Kotatsu table. A typically square low table that has a radiant heater mounted under the table that faces down. People sit around the table in the winter with their legs under the table to keep warm. I always enjoy your build videos. Thank you.

[@paulwenzel8533]

I watch a lot of You Tube videos to look for ideas and Jon's projects are always the most simple and elegant and its Jon's projects that I always make. I can apply the skills he teaches to everything. Well Done!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Paul that means a lot!

[@scottcountryman6090]

This is a fact. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from his projects

[@paulwenzel8533]

Jon: I'm working on a simple storage with drawers. I'm getting hung up with laying out the drawers in terms of spacing and how you calculate where the slides go etc. Maybe a future video explaining how you determine layout and drawer size. Thank you!! @@JonPetersArtHome

[@hasmukhvpatel4539]

Best Table, Best Workmanship,

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks!

[@honeyhole]

Thank you for the video. I especially liked the design of this table. The bottom vs top taper was a great idea.

[@negotiableaffections]

Beautiful piece, Jon. All praise to TotalBoat but I'd feel guilty leaving that table outdoors!

[@tomim7187]

That is a very elegant piece, Jon.

[@michaelc.fischer2439]

Just found you. Love it. Thanks Jon.

[@raulsoto2088]

Hermoso trabajo... Felicidades, un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@randystyborski5983]

Somehow when you teach it makes me feel I can do it. Simple joinery. No trac saw or expensive equipment needed. Very nice video. Good length and in depth detail. Thanks

[@arth.4196]

Great work Jon 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DrRobrez]

I love the look of this

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Rob!

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

I made a blanket chest using Jon's plans and it got rave reviews from those who have seen it. I used slightly different moulding - still a fun project.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Nice! Love to hear that 👍

[@ChuckP25.]

Hey Jon - Welcome back. I took a break, too, after making the 2 bureaus for the master bedroom. I tore apart the master bath tiled shower and did it right. Best to everyone. Thumbs up.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Chuck, it’s good to be back and on schedule. Sounds like the renovation turned out great!

[@ValerioFanelli]

A calm and informative video. And an american who doesn't throw stuff on the bench!

[@jacktyler7599]

Such a simple but elegant, typical Jon Peters project, by which I'm referring to both the video and the table. Thank you (once again), Jon.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Jack!

[@timf5963]

Not going to lie, I was shocked to see you using a red pocket hole jig! 🤣

[@normancarnahan4893]

Enjoyed your use of the Japanese type legs and look of this outdoor table. Now, maybe some shoji screens for indoors?

[@glencarolo2597]

Very nice, I'll make sure to make this table.

[@williamellis8993]

Beautiful table, Jon. Bill

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Great looking table and the finish looks outstanding Jon.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

[@tintansigloXXI]

Great video man, tks alot, hello from Mexico

[@timothycreasy2161]

That is the first time I have ever seen the tapered part of the legs being attached to the apron to create the flared legs. Very nice Mr. Jon

[@cillyede]

Very good as usual, thanks. 🇩🇪

[@virtualfather4117]

Looks great

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

It's gorgeous! Thank you for making a series of elegant furniture ideas and projects accessible to those of us without all the major tools and skills that more advanced furniture makers have. I wish you hosted courses; I’d sign up in a New York Second. I think you instill a relaxed vibe, and confidence, almost Norm Abram-esque. 😉 Kudos!!!

[@TotalBoat]

This table is simply stunning!!

[@christophercarlston6260]

Love your work Jon! I've build keepsake boxes for my daughters as well inspired by your project. Keep the content coming.

[@TheRedbeardster]

Really nice one, thanks for sharing

[@Brian18741]

Great work as always 👍

[@BMOORE344]

you build such beautiful furniture with attention to detail.

[@jamesfleming1643]

Excellent video

[@doriandari]

Thankyou Jhon.. i,m very glad if you keep on with this elegant and simple forniture..LOVE IT

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! Really happy you like the project.

[@prisillaspace]

So beautiful!!✋🏼🤚🏻 magic hands!

[@treythorsen225]

I always learn something from your videos! I really enjoy them

[@AJ-ln4sm]

I really like the reverse tapered legs. Very nice

[@mynorchinchilla2932]

Turned out rad! Looks great

[@kenc2257]

Very nice! Nice selection of materials, and the project turned out beautifully.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Great addition to your furniture line, Jon! Anybody would be proud to have this in their home. I love that the build is approachable to newer woodworkers, yet being mahogany gives it a "bragging rights" feel.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Andrew! Looking forward to seeing you next month… it’ll be here before you know it. Have a great weekend!

[@gregmize01]

Great design and finish! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@benjaminrauschenbach6084]

Love your work. Thanks for sharing Jon!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Ben!

[@michaelegarnerwolfgange5656]

Great 👍

[@regularguy9264]

Gorgeous! Well done.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank You!

[@Tman317]

Beautiful work Jon, love this table! Definitely going to check out that pocket hole jig too, looks cool.

[@davecurda2350]

Great build Jon. I have built your blanket chest about 5 years ago still looks amazing.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s great to hear! Thanks Dave

[@alord60]

nice work

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty amazing work, Jon! 😃 Really beautiful little table! It looks fantastic! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

That's a very beautiful piece of furniture Jon and I always enjoy your tips along the way! I'm very fortunate to have two Woodworker's Source stores here where I live. Your mahogany table really looks great!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Lori, I wish I had one close to me … nice people and a great Selection.

[@Wordsnwood]

Another great project, Jon!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Art!

[@magnumpunch]

Beautiful, I would have cut an arch or some sort of ornamental "removal" of material from the straight pieces connecting the legs. They look heavier than needed on this piece.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, I thought about something like that

[@jaruskas9982]

I am a bit of woodworker as well but when I see you I feel I should quit because you do everything so perfect and without any mistakes. I think I suck

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Trust me I make plenty of mistakes… But also have the opportunity to edit them out :) . Making mistakes is all part of Wood Working and the only way to get better my advice is always try to take it slow… Anything good takes time.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Great video and beautiful piece Jon! Any further thoughts about using glue instead of epoxy for the legs? DD

[@andrewbrown8148]

Beautiful table, Jon~! On the tabletop glue-up, does the Thixo come off pretty easily with a scraper or chisel? You didn't show that detail, so just wondering. Didn't know if it had hardened fully or was still pliable when you removed it. Great work (as usual)~! Looking forward to see if this plan winds up in a future bundle since I have most of your plans already. 🙂

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I removed it with a router similar to how I cut plugs with a router. I didn’t include it in the video because I covered it in depth in my last table top video. Maybe I should post a short video on just that subject… Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching!

[@mfcosi]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@KillerB3145]

Hi John, Just curious what kind of brush you used to apply total boat? Thanks for the great videos over the years. I follow a lot of your refinishing recommendations and they're always spot on.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Laura It’s a natural hair brush … it’s always best to use a natural hair brush with a clear oil base finish.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Sorry 🤦‍♂️ Brent

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

So simply elegant Bud. Sooooo we have 3.75 months left in 2022 so I'm expecting at least 5 more furniture builds!! Oh I kill myself!! Great job Jon, hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Brother! Lol I better get to work 😂 thanks again Mike!

[@aaudain1]

💯🆒💡👍

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

Was this 4/4 boards for the top, Jon?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Yes 👍

[@j_b_9381]

Gorgeous table! One question though. I didn't see a sanding stage in the video. Did you jump over that because, as we all know, who likes to watch sanding? Or was it not a necessary step with the several coats of spar-varnish?

[@ovidiumirauta]

A Japanese will never use pocket holes

[@JonPetersArtHome]

That’s just a jerk comment but I’ll leave it here and you can own it.

[@germcrazyshokoff3623]

@@JonPetersArtHome Great response. I can’t believe what jerks some commenters are on here. Ridiculous.
