Can everybody who watches our videos take a second and *hit that Subscribe Button and the Notification Bell* ? *More than 82% of our regular viewers aren't Subbed.* We would really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@Theexplorographer]

Been subbed for years. Don't feel bad, 99% of my views are un-subbed. I think YT's #'s on that are hosed.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

@@RazaXML, no worries. But just so you know, subscribing has nothing to do with ads at all. Ads are shown either way unless you pay KZbin to remove them. I have to watch ads before & during every video too. :-) When our subscriber count increases, it just helps other outside companies invest in us as content creators. Like we might get discounted glue from Titebond etc. But I get where you’re coming from. You definitely don’t have to subscribe to anything. We content providers will put videos out for free either way. We enjoy doing it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@tomdaichendt9013]

It is terrible and reprehensible that google punishes/penalizes content makers for what is human nature.

[@crustycurmudgeon2182]

@@KingsFineWoodworking and @RazaXML -- Had to get a new laptop to replace the one that fried in my little shop-- bought the cheapest they had. A bit after I got it, I was watching YT a lot and got a pop-up thingy asking if I wanted to block all ads and pop-ups occurring on Firefox. I was more than a few beers into a good night and went for it. It was free, asked for no credit card info, and wasn't an "introductory" offer. Over a year later I still get no ads on YT or idiot pop-ups on Firefox. My old laptop had something close, but not as good. Sorry, got no idea what it's called-- had a buzz on.

[@moldorm99]

Still don't get the trend with people talking about the subbed vs not subbed thing. It literally effects nothing. And if people wanted to subscribe they would.

[@horatiohornblower868]

Every time I watch a video of yours it always strikes me that you are not only a seasoned craftsman but above all an excellent teacher.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

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

[@kamac1980]

Couldn’t agree more. Companies should hire this guy to make instructional videos. Thorough, covering important details, easy to follow, but doesn’t bore the audience with needless details. That’s a very difficult balance to strike.

[@BrenQ99]

Your attention to detail is impressive. Chamfering spacer blocks? Next Level!!!

[@michaelmiller1109]

So glad to see you posting again. Your still my favorite content creator.

[@carlmainwaring4349]

60 degree chamfer to 45 degree chamfer is such a cool idea. Looks really cool. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[@jmarkes02]

Wow. Extreme amount of detail but a really nice table top.

[@leecarter2768]

Your channel inspires me. I can tell you do allot of your work sitting, and as a guy fighting for disability with a bad back, these videos help me to know i can still do my hobby. I can work a lil then rest a little. Takes my a while, but it beats going crazy just sitting around. Your workmanship is top notch!

[@paulsylvester1394]

Looks like I am going to have to get going on a set of chairs so I have a way of sitting next to these fine tables! Love seeing the kids working in the shop. And the dog is cute too!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!!

[@brianpage36]

Made the end table 2 weeks ago. For my personal use. My wife wants it but I have my morning coffee on it and am not willing to give it up. Your little end table is just great! I made the top with proper mortise and tenon joints. Not too hard but the redwood I am using has lots of sap and I got a lot of smoke while cutting mortises. I will use this method again for my friends and family. For the mortise layout, I just cut all of the slats, put the tenons on the ends and laid them out with spacers in between, on top of the edge pieces. Full actual size. I just traced out where the mortises were to be cut. Done. No measuring or errors. 3 Coats of marine varnish to finish. I have designed a King's inspired simplified small table top with just spacers in between slats and no joinery. The base is really simple without the 8 degree splay on the legs and eliminated the leg taper. 75mm x 34mm legs still kept at 45 degrees. I built a jig to hold the corners while I screw the reinforcement pieces in. No pins or nails. Just Titebond III and 4 x 4.5mm screws in each corner. I have 3 done and will list them on Amazon on Monday (after I finish them). Owatrol Aquadecks as I can get 3 coats wet to wet on and have a 4 hour dry time. I had 8 sample finishes outside in heavy rain and hot sun for 3 weeks. I picked the best looking. I can finish and ship the same day. I reduced the size of the table slightly as I can ship 59 x 60 x 60 cm for £14.95. 60 x 60 x 60 cm costs £49.00 so that 1 cm makes a huge difference. Now I am having fun! I really missed working with West System epoxy... Thanks again!

[@JohnWilliams-hn3wn]

I have been watching your videos for a few years and have picked up a lot of ideas and tips from them. I also have a wood shop and build furniture and cabinets but am always open minded when picking up so many great ideas and projects. Please make videos more often, your viewers miss your projects and craftsmanship. BTW I purchased your templates for the chairs and love them! Thank you!

[@JamesRyanKruebbe]

Beautiful table

[@TheSirStu]

That's a great looking set of tables you've created there. Very impressed with the finished look of those, the taper on the legs particularly looks great. Definitely looks like outdoor furniture very sleek and stylish 👌

A lovely piece by a master craftsman. Detailed editing and compelling narration. Something one can aspire too.

[@philip1522]

Been "commissioned" (life long non paying friend) for some outdoor furniture. Definitely going with your spring back Adirondack Chairs and at least the long table shown here. BTW long time subscribed viewer so I'm aware that your family help out but still smiled when you grew an extra arm (4.20). Can't tell you how many times I've needed one of those!

[@brianpage1886]

My coffee table is finished. I learned a lot making this table and used almost all of the tools that I own. My clamps slipped while the epoxy on the table top was setting so one of my mitred corners was messed up. I hand planed the outside to make it look OK, but the inside of the joint looks wonky. My wife wants this one. I will start making an end table. I have a mortising machine that I have only used a few times. I cut a 1/2 test mortise and made a mock up using a spare slat I cut. I think there is some potential. It will take longer to mark and cut mortises than cutting a dado, but the mortises may save time (and mess) when gluing up. I will also take a little off the sides of each tenon to lessen the chance of any glue squeeze out being visible. This project has 'Domino' written all over it. A Domino would make child's play out of the slatted tops. I don't have one of those, but after building this coffee table I am half sold. The best thing about this table is the base. It is strong, elegant and very light. Everyone who has seen the table just loves the base. I am not sure about my chop saw. I set it up a few years ago, but I am not sure that the 45' cuts are still perfect. I checked them, but I am not happy with my mitre joints. With the size of the 48" top, the corners need to be really accurate. You guys make this build look easy because you have skill and patience.

[@rimert]

I have not been impressed using 2x4s to create furniture, not even outdoor furniture. The use of chamfering in your design has completely changed my mind! Thanks! The elegant, nearly Danish style, has immediate eye appeal. I see only a couple of things I might do differently. One is to celebrate the joints by using dowels. I might also experiment with a different top rather than open slats. You really did a superb job! Thanks again!

Love this set. One thing I do with legs on outdoor furniture is make some hardwood, usually scrap Ipe feet which are better for wear resistance and stop moisture wicking up the leg.

@@KingsFineWoodworking My pleasure! You know, subbing and buying from content creators is actually supporting small businesses which is the backbone of the American dream!

If your 10 yo granddaughter can put him to shame, I’d love to see some of her work!!! I’ll have to disagree, however, about your statement that his skills are no better than anyone else’s. I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I hope to be half as good of a woodworker as James is. He makes it look easy because he’s such a great teacher, but actually doing the work is harder than it looks. As to your other comments, what are you so angry about? In all the videos I’ve watched of his, he seems to be very humble IMO. I’m wondering where you got the idea that he thinks he’s a legend, because I’ve never heard him say anything to make you think he sees himself as superior to others.

Just recently stumbled on your work, ❤ the outdoor furniture - going to buy the plans as soon as I've got a minute to start something new. 😂 One thing I'd like to share, having worked a fair amount with cedar siding, shakes, and shingles... You recommend using galvanized fasteners with the cedar and red wood - and galvy is def more rust resistant outdoors or w/ AC2 - but it reacts badly with cedar, and will develop ugly black streaks. I would specifically recommend only stainless steel fasteners for cedar and red wood. But, I'm only a hobbyist, and that's only my two cents, for what that's worth, lol. Keep up the good work, I'll be working my way through the rest of your library. Love the way you teach.

I just got 30 1x12 old growth redwood from a fence built in 1913. They have aged beautifully with stain and moss. I'm making Adirondack chairs sanded with 60 and 220 leaving the distressed history bring out the aged wood dark color with linseed oil. Thanks

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That sounds awesome!

[@johnlee7085]

Really nice design and execution. While you obviously have tons of experience, I believe if you check on epoxy, if you’re using it as an adhesive it is required to have the filler added. A cheaper option used in boat building is just sawdust. Similar to what you do to make the filler putty. As for wood expansion and contraction, it’s thermal e/c, so the more temperature change the more e/c. That’s just basic science. It’s great if you have not had trouble with it in your projects, but there’s definitely more outside where temperatures fluctuate than inside a more controlled environment. It’s one of the reason there are gaps in decking vs tighter fitting floors inside a house.

James you do work that is absolutely amazing,however anyone who has a SawStop and Fesstool equipment doesn't need Patreon

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks. If Patreon bothers you. Then don’t join. No problem. But you might be interested to know how KZbin works. I didn’t pay for the SawStop. I could never afford one. They put it in my shop so that viewers could see it. They didn’t pay me either. Many of the tools in my shop were given for use that way. As for the other tools, they are tools that I acquired over 37 years of woodworking. I’m not rich. I didn’t just run out and pay cash for these last year. It’s 37 years of spending on a hobby I love. Another thing is that nobody pays me to make videos. I do it for free. I do it because I have a good time trying to teach woodworking. We make a bit of money from some of the ads that come before the video. But that’s not guaranteed. Some months we might make $500, some months it can be over $1000, but some months it can be 0. We’ve had more months at $0.00 than non zero months. So we certainly aren’t getting rich here. I try to earn a bit of income by selling plans. Some months it can even pay all the bills. Most months it can’t. As for Patreon, I only created a Patreon page because a lot of viewers had asked me to do so. And in retrospect I’m glad I did. Because of them and the $300 - $400 we make most months, I can make many of the videos that you watch.

First video of yours I have seen. Very impressed. Using the chamfer to make the 2x4's look thinner fooled me, I assumed you would run the 2x4's through a planer somewhere in the video. I think I would have used the table saw to put the 60-degree chamfer - maybe I need to use my router more.
