Live Edge River Coffee Table | How To Build - Woodworking

[@lindadillon4482]

Even though I don't know what all your tools are and what each are used for, I found myself totally into your video. I thought to myself, think of how many different things start with just a tree of some type. My brother was a master craftsman with wood. He could make anything asked of him. He restored many of the old office buildings downtown Fort Worth, Tx. including shelves, furniture, etc. I'm looking at my mantel that he and I together designed. It is enormous, but gorgeous. I just lost him two months ago and I miss him so much, it hurts. Watching you reminded me of him. Brought back some wonderful memories of times I shared with him in his shop. I will continue watching your videos. You have a special gift. God Bless You.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Linda Dillon wow, glad my video could help you remember your brother in that way, Linda. Thanks so much for the kinds words!

[@PodtrashRadio]

Wood working is so satisfying! Brings me back to working with my dad in his workshop helping him remodel our family home. We installed an entire sunroom, refinished our basement, and built a beautiful wooden liquor bar and pool table. There was nothing he couldn't do and he taught me so much and all of this was just a hobby for him. He owned a home heating oil company as his main career. Sadly he passed away from cancer when I was 18... but I took a lot of his skills and DIY mentality with me in life. I'm now 35 and my wife loves that I can always fix everything in the house.... I've become the guy you call to fix things now though lol.... but I love it. From wood working to electrical work to plumbing..... my dad taught me a lot. Now calling someone to help fix something at my house is the LAST resort. Unless walls are going up or it's something that's physically impossible for one person to do, I'm doing it all solo!

[@fredericjeanbart9283]

It's not the tools, it's the eye and the talent. Impressive to see a remarkable work of art being made, more over out of an otherwise useless piece of wood... Nice river table, thanks !

[@craftedworkshop]

+Frédéric Jeanbart thanks a lot!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Riley Pearce thanks Riley!

[@ccccen]

Had the nicest day today went for supplies at HD and didn't have enough, had to put the shellac back. This gentleman came up to me and gave me the shellac I had put back as a gift. I want to say thank you very much if he's from around here.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Carl Zorro that's awesome!

[@ScottHaun]

I love the slight "floating" top you created by routering the legs

[@craftedworkshop]

+Scott Haun thanks Scott! Another tip picked up from studying Greg's work. He really does amazing work.

[@mannybalderas9442]

Chill dude, I like that he gives the credit where it's due and in turn gives himself credibility to the viewer.

[@craftedworkshop]

+manny balderas thanks!

[@forestlampcraft472]

This channel is so therapeutic. Congratulations

[@craftedworkshop]

+Александр ForestLamp thanks a lot!

[@lejly8214]

This work causes peace of mind to me. I'm so relaxed now. Thank's a lot.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Lela M thanks!

[@moshan30]

Александр ForestLamp Koop Koop l.p. kkp

[@WalkersWoodworks]

That table looks so awesome man. The rabbits to make it look floating really set it off. Nice touch.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot, really happy with the way it turned out!

[@Sedition-]

this was really cool man, i don't understand why your channel isn't more popular.

[@fr3shSwag]

I was wondering the same thing. He does quality work!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Andrew thanks Andrew! It's growing slowly but surely. Spread the word!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Ken C thank you, keep sharing my stuff around and I'll get there!

[@Sedition-]

i actually came across your channel thank to reddit, and i've already shared it with all my discord friends lol.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Andrew hah awesome! Thanks man.

[@Croopskate]

video quality, speed, explanations and tips were all perfect! hats off also for the immaculate build quality. and the sheer number of specialist woodworking tools - wow!!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Croopskate thanks a lot!

[@bradthebad01]

Russian River Brewing!!! Every time I make it out to Santa Rosa I stop in. Great beer. As for the table, that is on my bucket list of wood working projects. So thanks for the video!

[@craftedworkshop]

Outstanding beer, both their sours and IPAs. Thanks a lot!

[@richardclarke9966]

That is a phenomenal build, Jonny. Excellent stuff!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Richard Clarke thanks Richard!

[@GH-sx6tk]

Good on you for crediting him. i see lots of his designs kicking around. and no one giving him props.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Glen H definitely Glen, he is the mastermind behind this style.

[@John_Malecki]

Sickkkk dude. I have one of these on the docket for myself. Thanks for the tips

[@craftedworkshop]

+John Malecki thanks man, really happy with it.

[@UlissesNalone]

Fantastic! Not only the idea but also the top handcraftsmanship...

[@craftedworkshop]

+Ulisses Nalone thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Man that turned out awesome, Johnny! Is the glass just completely floating? I'm thinking with my kids that wouldn't be a good idea. But man is that thing sexy.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Fix This Build That thanks Brad! Yea, the glass isn't attached in any way but it would take some effort to knock it out. It's fairly snug with the sides of the wood touching the edges of the glass, and all of the curves keep it from sliding around. When we have kids, this table will live in a no-kid-zone for sure!

[@austingriffith5580]

Almost 100% positive I saw this table at woodcrafters in Parkersburg today. It looked amazing!

[@craftedworkshop]

+austin griffith nope, this one is in my den, but maybe a similar one!

[@deej19142]

Wow I somehow stumbled onto this video and loved it! I haven't looked yet but I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to make an actual river rock bed below the glass? That would look super cool, even placing some small twigs and sticks to simulate logs and even some fish. Nice job on the whole project. I've watched all of the Wood Whisperer videos, maybe that's how you're video showed up. I'm subscribing and definitely hit the like button on this one.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a bunch! I'm sure it could be done, give it a shot! KZbin must know you're into woodworking I suppose.

[@jeffmackdesigns]

Great Video Johnny!!! I can't believe I didn't come across your page sooner! Been watching your videos every day now!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Jeff Mack Designs that’s awesome dude! Glad you’re digging my projects.

[@SteveGribbinMaker]

Unreal Jonny.. i love the contrast between the walnut and the cherry

[@craftedworkshop]

+Steve Makes Stuff thanks a lot Steve! Digging that new metal table you're working on, btw. Really love your camera work and lighting, looks super cool.

[@SteveGribbinMaker]

Cheers man.. It's just a workshop table and not a very exciting project so I had to work hard to make it look interesting.. lots of sparks seemed to help haha... but I'm glad to having a good table to work on now :)

[@craftedworkshop]

+Steve Makes Stuff hah, sparks are always a great addition 😜

[@YELLOGAMERS]

Probably best looking river table on youtube

[@jacksoni349]

I am curious to why you chiseled and sanded down the "live edge" of the pieces of wood because I feel that having that stuff is the reason you chose to have a live edge in the first place. I can understand removing pieces that aren't stuck on well. Almost forgot to say though, awesome channel man, commentary is perfect for each project, keep it up!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Ian Jackson thanks! I really just removed the loose bits and smoothed things out. There wasn't any real bark on the slab to begin with, I'm guessing whatever the bug holes I mentioned caused the tree to die and lose its bark.

[@pafdias1]

wood carving adding imagination, the table looks fantastic

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks!

[@jonsteiner8515]

props for the lollar shirt!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Jon Steiner oh yea, love their pickups! I built a guitar on this channel where I used Lollars.

[@jonsteiner8515]

great - I'll have to check it out! been thinking of some for my jaguar

[@ahmadfaris8044]

That forehand routing near a glass, priceless, i will never have that kind skill

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks! Just gotta take your time, wasn’t too bad.

[@hamidmostajabi8800]

Awesome work and very beatiful! Thank you so much about sharing all the information. Do you mind if I ask you how close was the router bit to the glass. Did the router bit touch the glass at all? Did you some how attch the glass at the end or it is just floaded? Thank you so much again!!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Hamid Reza Mostajabi thanks! The bit has a bearing on it, and the bearing is what is touching the glass. The bit is just slightly narrower than the bearing, so it should no touch the glass, that would be BAD! And no, the glass is just floating. Thanks again!

[@bvb062386]

this is amazing.I love wood products...it always give me a peaceful and humble spirit...I can't explain why... But i do love it...

[@craftedworkshop]

+Honey Blessy thanks a lot!

[@GuysShop]

Great work Johnny! Next time when dealing with end grain on the router table, if you do the end grain first, any tear out will be removed when you do the long grain.

[@craftedworkshop]

+GuysWoodshop thanks Guy! The tearout was actually on the face of the board, not on the edges. It was a real pain, might have just been the wood grain causing issues.

[@GuysShop]

Gotcha. Another method for end grain is to use a backer board as you push it through. I do that quite a bit also. And one other question, can I have that table? :)

[@craftedworkshop]

+GuysWoodshop good tips. And for the right price, I can ship it right to your door. 😜

[@venusmina1]

Crafted Workshop How much for the table?

[@ethanbreedlove3482]

Cleanest shop on the planet

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Really nice Job on the table! I always wanted to make one of those as a dinning table.. Turns out I would have to convince my wife first... Go figure...

[@craftedworkshop]

+Tomy Hovington hah thanks man! That would look great.

[@twoweary]

I really like the separation between the top n legs. And that you said there were a few mistakes, (probably no one will notice but you). Great job, I gotta try this.

[@craftedworkshop]

+twoweary thanks man, have fun!

[@74tanker]

Awesome quality job mate, with a really beautiful finish...

[@craftedworkshop]

+74tanker thank you!

[@craftedworkshop]

+74tanker thanks!

[@brettalbot1764]

That's such a cool table. I'm going to have to make one of those when I start getting cabin fever this winter. Well done on the table.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Bret Talbot thanks, good luck!

[@woodscrew5612]

awesome table, now I want to go swimming!!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, thanks!

[@brycerick]

I think this is your best build and video yet. Keep up the great work!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Bryce Roebel thanks Bryce, appreciate it!

[@sumosprojects]

Credit to you mate on going with your own design & producing a very nice piece of furniture 👍👍👍

LOL - I was going to make that joke! You beat me to it. :-)

[@DexterXxX]

coyote uses tools lol

[@rizwanahmed9566]

Beautifully build excellent colour due to different wood really love it. Johanny you are an amazing craftsman.

[@peterupton6589]

Thank you for giving credit to Greg Klassen. Unreal how many goons on the internet are stealing his design and acting like they are the original river god.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Peter Upton no kidding! He is the man in regards to river tables, no question.

[@dedalliance1]

It's almost like this guy that has seemed to stolen every wood working video out there lol, kzbin.info/door/sMnnsp6C7A8mSh3fWV-WAAvideos?sort=dd&view=0&live_view=500&flow=grid

[@s.fyfe-joinery5540]

Really nice table. Great bit of joinery. Well done.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Really like those legs, the shadow line is a nice touch. Table looks great!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Robin Lewis thanks Robin!

[@HolisticHealthEducation]

Well built, with innovative ideas. Respect.

[@workshoponwheels4936]

'Do it at your own risk' well, sounds like just everything in life...

[@craftedworkshop]

+Workshop on Wheels hah, yea unfortunately it has to be said.

[@BrandonLund]

Very cool!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Brandon Lund thanks Brandon!

[@basuramanya]

Very nice table. I love Greg's work and have drooled over his instagram feed for a while now.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Dan @ The Robbins Workshop thanks Dan, his stuff is amazing.

[@TheRealDealRobMcNeil]

thanks for the play by play. Well done. Working on my first live edge coffee table and looking for options. Thanks again

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Rob!

[@forestlampcraft472]

I made a table with the glass it's cheaper)))

[@samhebbe1803]

Wow good for you! But that’s not the point

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

Nicely done. You make a somewhat daunting task seem quite manageable for the woodworking newbie. Kudos.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Chris Thompson thanks Chris!

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

man this looks fantastic. peed my pants!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Cactus! workshop haha 😂 thanks a lot!

[@j.chaitlal9421]

[@ברוךהרטונג]

you the best woodworker in youtube shalom from israel.

[@craftedworkshop]

+baruch hartung wow, thanks a lot!

[@caramonmajere447]

FFS, who has $35,000 worth of woodworking tools? Next time, just have your android servant do the work....

[@cutsrosescents4950]

Caramon Majere I know,the amount of machinery to produce hand crafted fine woodworking for people that appreciate a true master craftsmens skill is gotten ridiculous.

[@caramonmajere447]

Cuts rose scents I think that the term, Master Craftsman, gets thrown around a lot nowadays. Just imagine if the uploader had to plane, cut, router, etc the wood by hand.... Do you still think that the finished product would look as good?

[@craftedworkshop]

+Cuts rose scents you can really build this with much less expensive tools.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Caramon Majere that's a completely different style of woodworking, though. That's like saying a NASCAR driver isn't a master race car driver because he's not good in an F1 car.

[@cutsrosescents4950]

Crafted Workshop Im not knocking you or your work and I think its a great design and project that someone can do with tools they already own. Yes it can be done strictly with hand tools.You could find a stained glass worker that could do the glass cuts by hand also.Time frame and cost not added. You have seen Japanese wood workers. You should do a hand tool project video. You know as well as me that the a simplistic hand tool needs to be used properly and to cared for etc.And those skills learned like attention to detail gets carried throughout all of your work.I apprenticed under some really skilled craftsmen that wouldn't tolerate you doing things incorrectly. Yes I could And so could you. Cut the cord,go old school. There are makers of high grade hand tools that may sponsor a video.Give it a go. I think your videos are great.Take care.

[@Tango_Raptor]

Beautiful table. Beautiful wood

[@craftedworkshop]

+BeautyofDisorder thanks!

[@tylerwhite3250]

Never seen anything this cool. Awesome job!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Tyler White thanks a lot!

[@Hvitdverg]

I recently came across people doing woodwork, and I gotta say I LOVE all every video I've seen so far. It's just so satisfying to watch, and you have tremendous skills. Kind regards from Norway, and keep up the good work

[@craftedworkshop]

+Hvit Dverg thanks a lot!

Awesome work..the wife unit loves it also and has put it on the honey-do list.

[@craftedworkshop]

[@SwearingenTurnings]

My wife dislikes this style of table, but I think it's super cool and have added it to my list of projects to build. Great job!

[@craftedworkshop]

+Jason Swearingen thanks!

[@Juh812]

Gorgeous table Johnny. Very well done build. I love the floating look that you added.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Justin Stambaugh thanks a lot Justin!

[@Emancarrillo]

Love it, always been a fan of Gregs work. I could never figure out how the glass was cut. But getting a shop to do it never crossed my mind. Seems like a good option for the piece of mind of not cracking the glass.

[@craftedworkshop]

+EmanMade for sure! I am no glass cutter, figured it'd be better to have them handle it.

[@christopherthiessen9040]

That was a great project. Really interesting to use the live edges facing each other. Very inspiring work.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Christopher Thiessen thanks!

[@HacknBuild]

Really like the way the top turned out! Really creative way to use the live edge.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Hack 'n Build thanks a lot!

[@robertbrunston5406]

I did not know they could cut glass in abstract shapes! Thank you.

[@craftedworkshop]

[@badasspuppy]

Man, thank you. Really, thank you. I am so copying this table

[@craftedworkshop]

+badasspuppy your welcome, have fun!

[@markclemmens2862]

"If you have basic woodworking skills, you can do one of these yourself." I think that tells you everything you need to know about the design work + creativity level with these tables...

[@jv1969]

your knowledge is extensive and is evident through your experience. great video

[@craftedworkshop]

+jimi vee I appreciate it, thanks!

[@HPBPhotoWorks]

Stunning and beautiful!

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Hank!

[@RaphaeLoh01]

Looks more like a bench, but still cool... love the walnut legs! The floating look is genius

[@huyked]

5:50 I really like how you added the scrollbar at the bottom edge of the video to show when the ad starts and stops.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks, I do that in all my videos!

[@johnsobj]

That is great! I have a 12/4 rough walnut slab I milled that ended up splitting most of the way down the middle (contained the pith). This would be a perfect project for that slab. ....and I could keep the life edge for the outside. Now I just need to find the glass company locally (....and find the time). Great project. Thanks!

[@craftedworkshop]

+johnsobj for sure! Have fun.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Came out looking great! Been anxious for this video to come out, it didn't disappoint.

[@craftedworkshop]

+YouCanMakeThisToo thanks Caleb, I've definitely been hyping it to death. Glad to have it finished!

[@selimshakur3189]

Awesome table, not everybody has such tools to produce such a beautiful item. I was suprised that the middle was empty, I thought that you would put something such as epoxy but it looks fine like that.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Selim Shakur thanks!

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

I love how you added the detail of the slab floating a quarter inch over the legs. Thanks for the inspiration and great video!

[@craftedworkshop]

+The Naked Carpenter thanks! That was another technique from Greg's tables.

[@kmaher7688]

i just started watching some of these workshop videos. OMG! i am now addicted! who are these people with all these tools and imagination to build such beautiful things??? where is this guy located so i can see this crazy shop and buy the table?

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, thanks! I'm located in North Carolina.

[@ilyaivanov1745]

I really liked this table - the river ! Good job !

[@craftedworkshop]

+BUK thank you!

[@Alan-vh5nv]

Looks great. Love how you fed the walnut through the sander.

[@craftedworkshop]

+Alan Newnham thanks! Yea, I saw that technique on Instagram and it works so well. Stack the pieces and they feed themselves.

[@TheSound0fLegends]

Walnut is my favourite wood to work, love the smell and such a beautiful finish especially when given a light coat of oil to bring out that dark grain.

[@craftedworkshop]

For sure, my favorite as well!

[@FreakInc]

Dude, beautiful table. Gave me a great idea for my living room furniture! Thanks for taking the time to make the video

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot, hope the video helps you make one!

[@craftedworkshop]

+yopyopo thanks!

[@astanfartin1647]

not gonna lie..bit jealous of all the high end tools you got there buddy...makes my tool kit look a little sparse. i'm also loving the resin look atm this table would also look grate with an epoxy filled river i think. very nice indeed
