Make a Round Dining Table - 60" White Oak Modern Design

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi everyone, I went out on a limb here and titled this project ... Lily Table. Why would I do that ? ... A friend of mine once said a painting with a title is easier to remember than one without. I’m hoping the same holds true for this piece of furniture. Also this table was inspired by the Lily pad and Lily pad flower kind of flipped upside down. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video. If you’d like to build this project click on this link for the plans. jonpeters.com/design-plans/

I’m a carpenter and joiner and I’ve watched a lot of these videos but this is one of my top 5 favourites, thank you

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks John, I really appreciate it.

[@tomtimmons2228]

You sir, are one of the two best teachers on woodworking on KZbin. Thank you kindly. 😊

[@billyhunter6351]

As someone who bought his first house last year and attempting to make my own furniture, this video had me locked in for every second. Well done

[@docs3391]

Heavy duty table that will last for centuries to come! Nice work.

[@woodprojectswithalex2692]

Jon, I don't know how many years did you work in this business and how old you were when you start that! but I know really good that just God inspired you to be someone like this. I can't believe how a human can do something like this. As I know you for more than two years via KZbin & Instagram I always follow you to the next project and I watch some time a project over and over but never lose my interest to watch it again by repeating the project video. Thank you because you still keep going to producing on KZbin. Alex

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thank you Alex, this is very nice to hear.

[@deckerprairiewoodworks9826]

Jon, you never cease to amaze me. You brought you “A” to this one!

[@sapelesteve]

What an amazing job Jon! Definitely one of the best builds that I have ever seen on YT. Talk about an heirloom. Totally off the woodworking charts! 👏👏👍👍😉😉

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Steve!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That was a waaaay simpler method for the half lap! The taper on the edge was satisfying to watch. Great table, turned out amazing!

[@Mr.Follower245]

Jon you make the best edited/organized woodworking videos on KZbin!

[@KyleMerl]

There is so much wood working knowledge, tips and tricks loaded into this video. Great video. I learned a lot!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I’m really happy to hear that... thanks Kyle!

[@jacktyler7599]

VERY much appreciated the mellow jazz overlay as the project came to a close. Beautiful table, Jon. I'm so glad you introduced me to Waterlox...and I've now started using Bloxygen given the time spans between Waterlox uses. Thanks for all this useful coaching and congratulations on that gorgeous table.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Jon. I reviewed the comments and they are all right on. You've done a great job with the process and details of the build. I'm reminded of "Norm" and "Charles Neil" in this. Not only are you showing how your showing us WHY! Got to clean up my chaos! Your shop is so damned organized! LOL!

[@cliff5240]

[@twisterwiper]

Love the wooden clips. Really nice build 👍🏻

[@frankcornfield5915]

Great project especially as you don't have a large workshop. The half lap joint method was excellent.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Frank

[@Andrew-gu7kf]

Incredible how much detail went in to what, at first glance, looks like just a simple round table with tapered legs. You open my eyes to the quality and craftsmanship that goes in to, not only your work, but also how I see furniture in general. And just how far I have to go and learn in woodworking. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

Wow!! I think U can say this is one of the more beautiful pieces you’ve done. Really impressed!

Hi Jon i really enjoyed your video here, the circle cutting jig was Soooo simple i also appreciate the close up detail you filmed while building just like a master class. Thanks for the tip with the tape on the pipe clamps.

[@tommyammo6135]

What an amazing job Jon! All the details in shaping the edges WOW, really nice. You just opened my eyes, again, to some great work that really shows off all the talent you have. Thanks for sharing with us all. I will definitely be trying to use some of your techniques in the future. If I can remember to do them when I need to. All this stuff seems so second nature to you. You are such a professional. Thanks again for all you do.

Thanks Carlos !

[@jeffhesse8415]

Jon, that's a piece of art work! Nothing like the satisfaction of true hand built furniture, right down to the wooden clamps holding the top on. Thanks for all the details and tips. Do you sign and date your projects for future generations to know how old they are?

[@hazembata]

I find the hardest part of woodworking is design. Most furniture made by hobbyists looks like it's made by a hobbyist...this applies to me as well. You, however, have a great eye for design. Great piece. And man was that some nice lumber....not a knot in sight.

[@sisyphushappyxvx]

When you were explaining those tapered chamfers, my thought was, "Well, that seems like a lot of work for the bottom of a table" - then I saw how they turned out and thought, "What do you know - he was right!" Great job on this one, Jon!

Hi Jon. When creating the stretcher, at what point did you cut the width down to 6 inches from 6 1/2? And did you do this with the table saw? Thanks!

[@stevensakic4342]

Excellent teaching .

[@borjavivanco8600]

Brilliant, you now have a seat between Lancelot and Percival

[@jerrywoolledge57]

Great looking table! I have one question; I have a 72" round table top. Would the dimensions for your cross brace be adequate for the larger table top?

[@NASTYcraftX]

That's one nice table.

[@BillCoughenour]

I noticed in your video that you have a small model of what you were planning on building. That got me to thinking about building scale models of a planned project to get an idea of what complications will arise. Is this something that you do? For a table like this I was thinking of 1/4 scale, which would make the top 15" around. The joints would also be something that could be tried out in the format to see how the finished project would look. Is this something that woodworkers do?

Great table Jon! Oak sure isn't cheap material, made me think if you considered to calculate the diameter of the table top and figure out that it didn't have to be the same length planks on the outside as on the inside ;). Anyways really good video, thank you!

[@boncamino5195]

Just gorgeous 🎉👍🙂

[@JonPetersArtHome]

[@woodfather]

what a craftsman, well done. Do you always make models of your pieces? Are they for you to visualize them, or or for clients to help them understand the final piece?

[@pob11212]

Hi Jon, I’m interested in building this as a 72 inch table. Do you have any recommendations for how to scale the base and legs? Thanks for the great video.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, you could just ad 12” to the cross braces that attach to the legs and 12” to the the table top support that attaches to the cross brace leg assembly.

[@edsonsouza618]

Parabéns Jon,mais uma maravilha da marcenaria👏👏👏🇧🇷

Is a 1" black walnut table top too thin? I am planning to build a round table and I've been looking at builds and I like this build. I'm wondering if my walnut will be too thin.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

1” should be fine, this top is 1. 1:8”

[@ceferinoahumada7993]

Muy linda como quedó, lo felicito!!

[@54xcaliber]

Man that was a great half hour.

[@marclafontaine5615]

Hi Jon, I bought your plans and building this table the moment. One question. My table top measures only 48''. So I'm wondering, should I simply build the legs and cross brace with same measurements and forgo the stretcher (gap on each side would be the same as a 60'' with stretcher) or should I adapt the size of the legs (width), cross brace and stretcher (length). I was going for modifying the sizes of everything but now I wonder if it's worth the trouble. I'd appreciate your opinion. Many thanks.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Hi Marc, try subtracting a few inches from the stretchers and see how that looks. I think it would be helpful to make a cardboard model full-size. Maybe only 4” and then make the top stretcher smaller

[@marclafontaine5615]
