How to build a modern console table.

[@freddyvelasquez4168]

Greetings from Brooklyn, New York. Your video is a testament to fine woodworking. You have an array of tools, clamps, and squares that are top notch. I’ve seen many woodworking and diy videos but you take a lot of pride in your craftsmanship. Thumbs way up. Stay safe and be well.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thank you so much, Freddy! Thank you for taking the time to post such a nice comment. I greatly appreciate it!! 🙏🏻👊🏻

[@Mijknarf]

I've been a woodworker for 30 years and have made many nice pieces, but none with the precision that you demonstrate in your videos. You are teaching me (and many) the proper techniques for some of the basic woodworking tasks. Very well done and all the best with future projects.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

I don’t know how I missed this one until now. As always, VERY NICE PIECE!!! While I kinda enjoy your voice over commentary, I realize many creators get a ton of haters. I thought this video was extremely well executed. Just the right amount of volume on the tools and parts coming together. With or without the voice overs, I wish you well. I always look forward to viewing your videos.

[@chrishibberd]

Another fantastic build! I'm always in awe of the accuracy you achieve. Did those mitres really come straight off the mitre saw?

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks Chris!! Yes, those miters did come together nicely on this one. I'll be honest...they don't always work that way. If my plywood wasn't perfectly square, that would have caused that miter to need some adjustment. 👍

[@tonytomlin6089]

Fantastic design and workmanship. I love it.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@TomHoppe]

Was the reason for plywood with the edge banding vs hardwood panels for cost, wood stability, a little bit of both? Looks awesome, and love the design/execution, was just curious on that.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Yes and yes! LOL. Cost, wood stability and also weight. It would have been incredibly heavy if made of 1-1/2" thick solid white oak. There also would have been more labor involved gluing up and surfacing a bunch of panels, which makes it more costly. Sometimes I have to change my mindset from a furniture maker to a cabinet maker to produce an even better product and more cost effective product. I know some people stick their nose up at plywood, but high quality plywood is great to work with. And what people forget, is it's real WOOD! It's not particle board. Thanks for watching and the comment! 🙏👊

No joke - rather than cut shims to account for drilling the hole too deep, it was just easier to compact some shavings with some glue to make the medallion nice and flush with the surface.

Hi Keith, I don't know much about woodworking, but I would like to ask what kind of wood boards did you use? Was it just plywood/plyboards? Also what was the purpose of the black stuff you applied? Was it to make the grain pop? Your work is very inspiring. Thank you.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

This piece as built from white oak veneer plywood and solid white oak lumber. The finish applied is an oil/wax blend and is a wood protectorate and results in a durable, water-resistant finish, all while keeping the natural look and feel of the wood. You can buy in various colors based on the look you are trying to achieve.

[@jlkinsel]

Very interesting video, Keith. :) I liked the RH piece too, currently building one but using torsion boxes for the shelves, and slotting them into single-piece uprights. Can't wait for it to be finished, but a little worried it won't be as strong as yours. Will see soon!
