Modern Console Table // Sofa Table // Building Plans Available … In this video, I build a modern console table out of some beautiful air-dried walnut. I tackle some angled bridle joints, as well as mortise and tenon joinery and show you how I create tapered legs on the table saw. I also take a mini dive into how to choose the most appealing grain for the legs that can be applied to many furniture parts. Admittedly, I didn’t use all mortise and tenon joints where I could have, but instead used the Festool Domino in the interest of speed and efficiency. I wanted to demonstrate both methods so those of you without a Domino don’t get discouraged. Although the top is 1-¼” thick marble supplied by the client, I think this console table would look equally as beautiful with a walnut top that mimics the bottom shelf. **Plans are available to build your own console table which include a walnut top. #modernconsoletable #consoletable #midcenturyfurniture #modernfurniture

Was watching this with my son, he thought it was pretty cool that someone on KZbin mentioned my name.... Ha! Thanks for the shout out!

[@martincox7354]

Excellent work. Understated design (my personal preference but its personal) very well made. All that showcased with a really high class video and commentary. You deserve success on social media and with clients. Good luck - making bespoke furniture in the UK is very niche and not many can make a living just from that. Hence, the number of furniture schools.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thank you very much! And yes, building furniture alone as a full-time job is certainly not an easy, nor lucrative career path for most. Finding the right clientele for your style or skill set can be challenging. And to be honest, just building furniture with creating content around it, would burn me out very quickly.
