Making A Huge Bespoke Elm Coffee Table With Segment Base!

[@johncorrall1739]

Highly skilled,thorough and painstaking process. That’s reflected in the beauty of the finished product. Video was superbly shot and edited,with a detailed and highly articulate explanation of the entire build process. I can’t understand why your channel is so ridiculously undersubscribed,your work is as good as any of KZbin’s top woodworkers.

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you very much John! So nice to hear, makes all the effort worth it ahah. I’ll keep making videos no matter how big my channel. If your wanted to share the video, that would be amazing!

[@chriscarter3866]

Beautiful. And yes , your channel should be as popular as Four eyes or Pedula. Keep going.

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thanks so much Chris! I really appreciate that!

[@Dan-jq8se]

Excellent craftsmanship, and I especially enjoy your narration and attention to detail.

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you Dan! Thrilled you like the voice over, I'm planning on doing it in more videos!

[@johnisley4578]

Well, what can I say? Absolutely magnificent ! AAA

[@SeanEvelegh]

I really appreciate that John! Thank you 🙏

[@ianharvey3696]

You need more clamps imho! Like the big jubillee clip! All great, well done

[@SeanEvelegh]

ahah you can never have enough right?! Those Jubillee clamps are fantastic for gluing up large segmented rings. Glad you liked the video mate!

[@chrisstearns10]

Excellent video with the narration and excellent piece. Thanks for the tip about the amount of glue for veneer. The work with many repetitive tasks often looks the best to me. Good on you for having the patience to follow through, that's what separates the highly skilled crafts people from the rest.

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you for your nice comment Chris! That means a lot! Glad you like the narration, I'll do more of them!

[@chrisstearns10]

@Sean Evelegh your welcome! My comment to anyone that says they don't want narration is that you would never tell your teacher to teach without talking.

[@samrix5793]

Lovely build!

Wow what an amazing peace of furniture beautiful work

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you Jim! Glad you liked it!

[@studioyan]

Beautiful table. The time and effort you put in really shows in the final piece 🙌

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you appreciate my work!

[@jillbork2683]

You inspire me, this is a beautiful piece of furniture, and the design is perfect.

[@SeanEvelegh]

That's very kind Jill! Thank you 😊

[@Paul-jp8zz]

wow, edge jointing those thin veneers on a jointer, surprised that works well. I've found with my thick (1/16") veneers, a track-saw does an outstanding job of jointing edges. nice table!

[@SeanEvelegh]

Yeah it only really works with thick construction veneer. I like the tracksaw method, that's a good idea!

[@Paul-jp8zz]

@@SeanEvelegh The cool thing about the track-saw method especially when laying up panels is that rather than just jointing square and edge gluing like you would any normal panels, you can set two pieces of veneer side by side with an overlap of an inch or two (as needed) and then lay the track at an angle within the overlap so your cutline more closely matches any grain direction. A nice sharp blade with a good zero clearance track (ie. Festool) and foam backing, you get a perfect cutline *at an angle across the overlapping region* so the joint line isn't square to the edge of the piece.. It can do wonders for ensuring seams are invisible even when you try to look for them...

[@mikedeman5351]

Beautiful piece of furniture, wonderful design and craftsmanship. The video was very well put together, you managed to impart a great deal of very interesting information in a way that enhanced the viewing. Enjoyed that :)

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you very much Mike. I'm glad you appreciate the video, It's a lot of work filming a project and it takes me a long time to edit lol, so I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@andreasloher6340]

Excellent

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you!

[@jasquesbenq9688]

Great work! :)

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you 🙏

[@danielaa1557]

Wow 😍

[@SeanEvelegh]

Gracias

[@tahseenashfaq]

Amazing piece 👍🏼

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thank you!

[@marcodhaene]

That's magnificent. I love the attention for detail. Just wondering: why did you use smaller dowels to attach the bigger dowels and not glue in the bigger dowels directly into the wooden rings?

[@SeanEvelegh]

Cheers Marco! I used dowel joints to ensure perfect joints for the spindles with no gaps. I could cut that spindles on the tablesaw and it would meet the segmented ring surface flush and be completely flat. If I inset that into the ring, there is a great chance you’ll see gaps around the spindle.

[@marcodhaene]

@@SeanEvelegh Thanks for clarifying Sean and sounds very logical 😉

[@Paul-jp8zz]

Applying the rubio to the dowels while they were still mounted in the lathe would have sped that bit up for ya..

[@SeanEvelegh]

That is a good suggestion! Thank you. I'd have to be careful not to scratch them before the base is good together.

[@Paul-jp8zz]

@@SeanEvelegh I think you'd be ok.. Good thing Rubio is so easy to repair!

[@juanpabloecuador]

Wow 🤩

[@SeanEvelegh]

Cheers Juan!
