[@jonathanacton5133]

James you are so great you Rival Norm Abram

[@robmo314]

who cares how much glue did he use, but you see how he keeps the family together? do you think he needs the glue for thet?

[@TimGebert]

Norm who?

[@dama8616]

You re a natural teacher! Your voice is clear, perfect cadence and annunciation. You have obvious passion for your art (which is truly that) but you are almost equally a talented instructor. Fantastic editing also...you and the girls should have your own TV show!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

You are too kind. Thank you.

[@chrisp.76]

The KFW group is great! Very positive and helpful!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say.

[@marcjara6903]

Excellent woodwork, a little hard to follow for a ordinary person like myself. Vocabulary and getting a mental image. I am willing to learn !

[@jerrystout3032]

Magnificent wooden mallets!!!!

[@peterraisis9975]

James. Your program channel is the best carpentry videos I've ever seen and I'm into my 70s you have a fantastic work force. It's great to see your young family leaning the trade by The master carpenter, "magic" I'm addicted to your videos so please keep them coming...

[@JewishJuice]

Great content! Reminded me of watching This Old House as a kid for some reason

[@anthonycomitto5800]

Think its pretty cool you have the whole family in the shop with you.. Owning your own business,teaching your children a skill, and having them work with you. it dont get much better than that.

[@jgbcodemonkey]

As a beginning woodworker who works out of a tiny shop (garage), I want to thank you for this video and project. It's encouraging as a beginner to see a master build something simple, yet so elegant, and gives me confidence that I can too!

[@MLFranklin]

I like the proportions of the table legs and trestle.

[@theokruger3558]

I'm watching, and very much enjoying your videos from South Africa and because of our whether out here, we just love the outdoors … ! This table will fit right in for that purpose and as a retiree beginner woodworker, I'm certainly going to give it a try with a "Circular Saw & a Drill" and plenty screws. Another great family project James and well done. Looks super great !!

[@davidcotney7585]

That is beautifully James. Thank you. Im retired and just getting into wood working and i love it. Im raising my great-grandson and youve given me a good idea about including him and teaching him woodworking. I love how you include your girls and its great that they enjoy it. Again, tha k you

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i totally agree about getting the kids involved. I like to start screws and then have my son (6) and daughter (4) drive them home. You go through a few extra bits but so what. Good bonding is far more important then a few driver bits!! I really like the table. So much classier then a picnic table.

[@lennienims4446]

great job guys, it's nice to see you all involved

[@stoveboltlvr3798]

5 girls, I hope you have your own bathroom. My poor father-in-law had 5 girls and he had to build his own. I love the table, great job!

[@jingqiuwu5615]

Noticed that you have very good power tools.

[@souprmage]

It's been nice getting caught up on all your previous content. So easy to follow and nice to see your whole family involved. Not to mention the great projects. But it'll be a sad day when 'the photo-bomber' retires.

[@MR-puffnstuff]

I may build this one looks nice I am getting ready order wood for new table and this table looks cool. Thanks for the idea.

[@dsdragoon]

It's great that your daughters are close by so that they can work with you. My two daughters are great wood workers but they live hundreds of miles away.

[@kdtrimble]

This is truly King's FINE Woodworking. I purchased a mallot for myself this past Christmas. I was really impressed by the beauty and quality. Much better than I expected and I expected a lot. It's so beautiful in fact, that I don't want to use it but hang it in the shop as a trophy piece. These folks are true professionals. This is why I subscribed and return to watch each and every video.

[@raulsanchez4493]

Awesome work & it’s miles better than a standard picnic table

[@robing4566]

Nice touch with the edge detail

[@indyfastal]

New to woodworking, new to your channel, 1st time commenting. I like the way you speak to your viewers, you don't "over-explain" like some others do. Simple, direct, easy to follow. As soon as the weather get better, I'll be back out in the shop ruining some lumber...

[@barstad-9591]

Another awesome build by the King Family!!! Thank you all. 😊

[@robertgravel5160]

What a beautiful table. I really like the way you teach too 👍

[@HiThereFriend1]

Thanks so much for this video. This is perfect for my skill level and toolset.

[@80zbabyz]

I love watching u n fam do these projects my kids are still little but when they’re bigger definitely gonna have them do projects w me. Family time is everything is something I’ve realized as I matured into a family man. Family time wasn’t stressed enough when I was coming up !

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

Well done, James and family!

[@richardhart7652]

Nice to see the photo bomber is still at it another good video

[@robmo314]

love your videos and the most important thing is how you work together with your family. keep it like that all the times. table came up so nice, waiting to see video for the benches.

[@oldNavyJZ]

I agree on using the wood with knots and "defects". I like wood with character.

[@erictroutman1571]

Nice project. One that your average weekender (like me) could feel comfortable tackling. Thx James!

[@bigjim1408]

Love all the new tools....

[@suearmstrong3404]

James, I love that you care so much about esthetics. That truly is the separation between a good job and a beautiful job. I also love that you include your girls in the shop. Woodworking is an awesome skill and I am so happy they want to be a part of it. I love your channel and I am a subscriber!

[@JamesWhite-p4j]

Built the rocking chair.came out great.also comfortable.

[@Winterborn3420]

The mallets are the bomb, I am using the heck out of mine on the Torsion box top build right now.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Doug! That’s awesome!

[@terryduprie6313]

I've subscribed a long time ago and really enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming and I'll keep watching. Glad to see your success.

[@peulsongerard2258]

bonj du travail bien fait comme toujour super

[@clydedecker765]

I know that when you and your family build something, it will be top notch. Never disappointed. Thanks, James.

[@samuelligo7234]

thanks for making video for those of us without a fully equipped shop

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Your commentary is always great! I like your comments on how to get your kids involved in the shop. You explain things so well, with beautiful results. If I needed a picnic table, I'd build it. I may try that Watco finish on some planters just to see how it holds up.

[@Winterborn3420]

I would build this as a Dining room table (with a bit more on the top being one big piece but still) I love how your mind works on these projects!

[@joecarney4268]

I love the color of the table. It's really beautiful. Great job.

[@myenjoyablehobbies]

Very nice build, and the table is very pleasing to look at. I also got to say, you do a very nice job in your narration as well.

[@DsHardWoodCreations]

Beautiful piece

[@ArmyVet76]

Beautiful build and it’s is great to see you build with your kids. God Bless You and Your Family 🙏🏼

[@ernestboatwright7172]

That's one great looking table

[@eddiestipe2009]

Very nice thank you for sharing your wonderful video.

[@wirelad1]

James - Your such a nice guy... lovely family, I love watching your youTube blogs best wishes xx

[@michaelt7191991]

I absolutely loved the look of this table! Fantastic job!

[@yvonnemcgraw4618]

Loved this project ❤️

[@jesussanchez7976]

Very nice table 👍👍👍👌👌👌

[@patmash]

Beautiful project. Best 30 minutes of my day. Thank you James and family.

[@janetpersons2227]

I love your projects been missing your program.

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Very nice. I thought I was already subscribed to your channel but I guess not. Now I am. Great build.

[@marcjara6903]

Great ideas !

[@johnwilliamson7081]

Love you guys. Great project

[@jeffceriotti]

Love this design. I think it is very doable for the noobs like me. I am going for it! Would love to see some matching benches for it. Thanks!!

[@bencoleman1893]

Thats a great looking table!

[@ncwoodworker]

Excellent design and video.

[@travisoliver3811]

As always great video! It is a joy to watch your videos.

[@art_drag9488]

I love that table

[@QuadDoc]

Another awesome one James! Thank you for putting in the time to share this with us!!!

[@jimcooney9019]

Well i Love it and well build it . thanks for the video

[@that_guy_right_there_2945]

Great project for my backyard

[@imridley]

Great build as usual

[@tdkrei]

Nice idea and workmanship of all of you. I just might have to tackle one of these myself and I do mean "myself".

[@andrewpowellnz]

James no hole for the umbrella 😂 nice table for outside family dinners, lunches etc

[@gerdes1963]

Great video! Love watching your projects. So inspiring...but someone in the household wants one of everything!

[@2244path]

Fantastic!!!!!Love it

[@fredmertens6752]

YOUR IDEA OF THE ROUTING IS GREAT YOU ARE USING THE ROUTING FOR "BLING"

[@raynechantel2738]

Beautiful table!! Thanks for teaching your girls a trade that is usually dominated by males. You have given them a skill that will help them be independent for their lives.

[@rebeccacaron8982]

Love it! Thank you❤

[@Croziz]

Awesome build!

[@JuanRamirez-di9lt]

beautiful work

[@jimcooney9019]

something I will definitely have to build very nice job thanks for sharing the video

[@mikeandlucky]

Thanks for the great project. Really appreciate all your very well produced videos. Very well documented with all the links to find everything needed for the project. I especially like projects like this that you can build with the big box lumber and regular tools which is more doable for those of us who love woodworking but have to stay in the budget :)

[@Kkuts37]

Fabulous job!!!!

[@christofix]

There is so much detail in those legs. I like that! Beautiful table man!

[@tomilesmanaaldilla2633]

happy family woodworking...

[@josephgraham1065]

Love the table think I might try to make one. Funny though not too much glue on this project though

[@Heraclitean]

I'm always baffled at how people can watch a step-by-step how-to video and then also need plans. Worth buying to support the channel, I guess. Anyway, nice table and excellent video as always.

[@bensmith4563]

Some people just aren't as mechanically inclined as others

[@mainormarroquin4911]

Beauty nice table congrats bro this is a nice piece

[@d_ward4871]

That’s a beautiful wood mallet. It would be even more cool if on one side you removed about an inch of wood and added an inch of rubber

[@MadWiking]

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful project! You have a great crew, man!! Keep up the good work! Best regards from Norway.

[@garybrooks2753]

Great project 👍👍👍

[@kashmirbeautyandfoods7414]

Great work

[@eb9338]

Good family man.

[@rochlachance896]

Nice project

[@that_guy_right_there_2945]

Bought plans to support channel! Keep up the great work.

[@lcook0825]

Very nice and informative video.

[@michaelvenditti5982]

Great project, could also be completely made with only hand tools

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Great table James. As always you do an excellent job explaining the process.

[@maehay4065]

I love this outdoor table! It’s gorgeous 👍

[@chriskildun8810]

Good job. Thank you.

[@yougolook]

So hard to get straight lumber from box store without milling. This turned out very nice 👍

[@ranger2316]

Wow, that is some table. I wonder if you could use construction adhesive rather than glue.

[@lennyf1957]

Very Nice table, I built one similar 35 years ago. I think the corner cut offs on the table top are way too big though.

[@dimarc67]

James (and family)-- Another great build and video! It's always a real pleasure to see your crew bring it all together. I've used the same GRK screws for a few home projects (laundry machine riser, basement framing, etc.). From my experience of using them with construction lumber, they seem to hold more strongly when they self-drill, rather than pre-drilling for them. What size hole did you pre-drill for them? What pros/cons do you see with these when pre-drilling vs. self-drilling? Thanks so much for (virtually) inviting us into your shop! David Frederick, MD

[@abuk44]

always a pleasure watching your videos 🙂
