[@dalegosnell2511]

Thank you so much for the epoxy River table comment it made my day

[@yogeshshrama9739]

This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzbin.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

[@howardsmith5474]

Ah, the old electric hand planer... only comes out once a year but when you need it, you are grateful you have it!

[@barrynorman3906]

For a start I thought you were putting the edge bevel on the top. I thought WHY it will cause things to roll off of the table. Then I realised that was the underneath. Whoops what a plonker I am. Great job as always Mark !! Most can just build a functional table but adding the features makes this piece of art.

[@EtherialFusion]

You were not the only one thinking that, but it made sense seeing the end result. A sturdier table with a more refined look. A really nice table!

[@richie4ohio]

I was thinking the same thing!!!!

[@kjohn5224]

I came here with my pitchfork for this reason.

[@robertgoss4842]

My first visit to your channel. It's a real pleasure to watch expert woodworking, expertly presented. Well done.

[@barbiedesoto7054]

I think the bevel really made it look much more authentic to MCM, instead of being to flat and straight with no warmth to the shape. Beautiful!!!

[@daltonmcmillen995]

That free hand bevel is what dreams are made of. Great stuff

[@ThePatriotPath]

This is so much better than what I see on all the "modern" hipster woodworking channels!

[@edtsch]

Yay! a KZbin video with a cabinet scraper! Those things are amazing.

[@coffeeismygod]

Now that is one beautiful table! Thanks for the video. I’m a carpenter for my living, so watching other, more skilled craftsmen helps me raise my game. Many thanks.

[@Thedestressguy]

As a new woodworker, I'm inspired to make this table, even with my limited skills. Thanks for putting it out here. Much appreciated.

[@XxMalabooo]

Thats how I feel. This is a masterpiece. I can only aspire to this level of work.

[@gzaros]

Thank you, Marc, for having and sharing my favorite channel! It's fantastic!

[@andreyru9221]

7:49 when you were applying clamping pressure to glue the legs, how did you fix and then removed small pieces of wood to the sides to even the clamping surfaces? thanks

[@KeyWoodworks]

Beautiful table, Marc. The underbevel is my favorites part.

[@massoodn9410]

Again, beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Your narration is precise and down to the point.

[@chriskalnasy7116]

I like the additional camera angles you got here......thanks jason :) Nice simple and quick build!

[@zacharyzimmerman2101]

Just finishing up something similar! But I used a pair of bookmarked black walnut slabs and canted the legs out to add a little bit of additional challenge. Interesting to see the difference in techniques

[@JimTom.]

10:13 thankyou! im not the only one who isnt a fan of blue plastic sh*t running down the middle of a beautiful piece of wood?

[@crogersdev]

it's a fad that'll look awful in 10 years.

[@LutherBuilds]

That turned out beautiful! Love the drunk vomit mopping application of the finish.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Simply beautiful table, Marc! Love all of those little details like the generous bevel on the underside of the table.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

If I didn’t own a power hand plane, I would have now after seeing all that work you did to pull off that large beveled edge!

[@SKRider69]

I am building this table for my daughter, which so far has been an adventure. I just bought my woodworking on easy mode domino joiner, but it looks like the kit I bought did not come with any Domino tenons, and those little fella’s are a bit spendy, so could you please share what sizes you used for this table?

[@brandonp51]

I notice you didn't alternate the ring orientation at 10:40. Are there certain types of wood that won't cup? Not busting your chops -- Genuinely curious.

[@hypnolobster]

Alternating grain orientation on a table top is actually a bad idea. Assuming something does move, it's easier to hold a table top to aprons that wants to cup uniformly the same direction, rather than alternating grain which wants to turn into a washboard; each board cupping in alternating directions.

[@woodwhisperer]

I don't alternate my grain. I try to get the best visual presentation possible and the end grain is what it is. If the boards cup, it's going to suck regardless of whether they are all going the same way or not. And like Kirby says, if the cup all goes one way, we have a better shot at fighting it via anchoring to the base.

[@brandonp51]

@@woodwhisperer Gotcha. Thanks for the reply!

[@christofix]

Wow this is a great table. The detail on the underside is awsome! nice, really nice!

[@JoeGilmore-m7s]

i wish you would teach us how to make matching chairs. I start building this table next week.

[@deucerider430]

Beautifully simple and simply beautiful! You rang the bell with this one!

[@DsHardWoodCreations]

Beautiful piece

[@tylergordon696]

Might want too look up scrafing plywood jigs. That would be a great thing too use to create the bevel on the top. Since you use use a router on a sled it's very fast and leaves a decent finish. Mainly used in ply wood boat building.

[@hypnolobster]

Marc: I have tendonitis and I'm supposed to be resting Also Marc: I don't want to go get a $70 power planer at Depot, so I'm going to grip this angle grinder for a long time and then plane out powercarving-level roughness with a jack plane

Beautiful work! And thanks for the free plan!

[@MultiTom1956]

Absolute feast to my eyes your way of demonstrating the making of this unique table 😊Thank you

[@stevenl.cranford5992]

I once suffered from Carpel Tunnel, then on a whim I purchased and tried Matt Furey's "how to fix carpel tunnel in 30 days". (Search for it on the web) By the end of week 1 I could literally feel improved blood flow at my wrist! At the end of week 2. My personal problem with carpel tunnel was gone!!! (it maybe mine was a milder case). Impressed that the system worked, I purchased some of Matts exercise programs. . . . by the end of week 1 I had moved on to watching TV. Now I am watching KZbin. Sorry Matt. But I absolutely recommend his carpel Tunnel exercises. I still use them from time to time.

[@johnopfer8065]

Could you have put the 5 inch bevel on the pieces before glue-up? Then you could have used the jointer and or the bandsaw.

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Great quality as always Marc. I appreciate you letting people know about things like reason you are using the domino, and when there is a better tool for the job. I'm also happy to see more common tool brands in the wood whisperer shop. Like you, at one time i was nearly exclusive to the Festool brand. I realized a lot of the things i was doing with my Festool tools i could do with any common Home Depot brand tool, and that i wasn't getting enough use out of the premium features of the Festool line. I sold the vast majority of my Festool tools are replaced with Makita. I still have some Festool tools like the rotex and the vac. The rotex cant really be replaced by another tool for the money. That thing is one of a kind. But the Festool router, Kapex, drills, track saw, etc are all gone. Replaced with cordless Makita. Actually made money on selling my Festool tools and replacing them, and I never once miss them

[@ricos1497]

That's interesting. I'm about to do similar after a couple of projects. Going to get a decent bandsaw instead. Will check out the Makita options.

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

@@ricos1497 the Laguna 14/12 bandsaw is an awesome value for the money. For the last job I did I sawed through about 300 linear ft of 12in resaw on that thing using a Woodslicer blade. Lenox blades are the best but they are expensive and I wanna wait till I buy one... Wanna make sure i'm not gonna break it lol. But ya. Makita's tools are really engineered with the cabinet and furniture maker in mind. Their miter saws have a forward facing rail like the Kapex to get it right up against the wall. I also have a Makita track saw. Just as good as the Festool track saw i had for a fraction of the price. The sub compact Makita tools are awesome too. For furniture and cabinet making Their sub compact tools are all the power you will ever need with much less weight than others... I just drilled 2400 adjustable shelf pin holes with their sub compact drill. Didnt skip a beat. And I tested its drilling speed against a full sized Makita and its the same on 1/2" holes and under. If I did 2400 holes with a full sized drill I would be dead. And a 12v tool would have been pushed to the limit

[@dekayscrafts]

Fantastic work! I feel the best craftsmanship.👍🏻

[@DIYwithDave]

Great build! It turned out beautifully.

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Awesome, they both turned out great, looked like a great time!!

Just beautifull. The kind of style I like.

[@markh4763]

Thanks Mark, we miss you in Arizona!!

[@Kikilang60]

Thank you. I used to love Modernism, but so many people hated it, I learn not to talk about it. That table is gorgous. The simple line, and under state craftmanship is impressive. Sadly, modernism has become a parady of itself.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Table looks awesome, great job! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@chris-malek]

Nice table..thanks for sharing

[@EthanTheEx]

Curved edges are great.

[@scottryker4888]

I need to figure out a dust collection system! Watching you build this with almost no dust accumulation infuriated me. If I so much as nail two boards together my entire shop gets covered in dust!

[@javaclouds8017]

What a nice table. I have a doubt, in video you set a cut in 20 degrees angle, but in plans said 18 degrees?.. please can anyone help me here? Thanks

[@timothyludolph832]

Great project! Why oh why did you stop using your Festool sliding compound mitre saw??

[@Ask3naz]

Wonderful table, excellent job. Thanks for sharing with us. Sorry mi English but I'm practicing. Saludos desde Chile.

[@hughiegibson1716]

Gorgeous table

[@marshallmurrell4583]

Using the domino makes the joinery easy and fast. I would use one if I had one. It seemed that you only put glue on the domino and not on the face of the pieces being joined. Did I miss something or is glue on the domino only sufficient?

[@woodwhisperer]

The strength comes from the long grain glue bond between the Domino and the walls of the mortise. ANy glue you get on the face of the joint is just gravy. So sometimes I am generous with the glue. other times (when I don't want to deal with squeezout) I'm a little more conservative.

[@mio3563]

Wow. Great pure design.

[@kmonk7853]

I'm so SICK of seeing epoxy river tables, thanks for that sweet comment, haha

[@donvanco3078]

Like anything, it can be tasteful or it can be over-done. I like a tasteful crack fill, not so much a fan of making half the table resin.

[@kmonk7853]

@@donvanco3078 agreed!

[@MrThenry1988]

I get asked to do them. I'm still good with not doing one yet. It's a fad.

[@mrsandman1274]

I think resin tables look cool but yeah there not for me I like beautiful wood tables like this

[@mrmelton4776]

Personally I’d rather see a very symmetrical channel in the center to contrast the live edges than a freeform “river.” If you just have to have epoxy. I’ve also seen a table or two with an unfortunate check after installation that could probably use an epoxy treatment of some kind. A lot of these guys buy slabs from who knows where and throw legs on them and a year down the road homeowners are vacuuming crumbs out of the cracks.

[@erikjohnson2889]

Man, I absolutely love this table. Thanks for the great content on your channel. I'm a beginner, but I find your videos easy to understand. Great stuff, pal!!

[@bigpete4227]

This is a beauty. I’m going to have a go at replicating this table this autumn, albeit in a far more humble way. I’ve got some white oak (I think) pallet posts for the legs and aprons and scaffold boards for the top. A decent stain should bring them all into line. The Mrs wanted a farmhouse style table with breadboard ends but I’ve been looking for something a bit more elegant that I can take my time with. I’ll probably tone down the detail a bit to more suit my skill set but I’m going to have a fair crack at it anyway. Cheers mate.

[@bigpete4227]

I built it! It’s no where near as pretty as yours but my Mrs is over the moon with it. I used scaffold board for the top and pallet wood for the legs and apron/rails. The scaffold board was obviously pine and the other wood is...I haven’t a clue. It’s reddish in colour and came from some heavy duty pallets. I used oak dye and danish oil with a wax to finish when the oils has hardened. I made it to tall so I’ll lop off a half inch from the legs in the morning before waxing it. It cost me about 40 quid to buy everything I needed for it but in reality I’ve got so much left over it probably set me back a tenner to 15 quid in all. Just wanted to say cheers mate.

[@bigpete4227]

It was cedar wood for the legs and rails. I’m still learning this stuff.

[@andrewv5104]

Thanks for using the domino. There are so many tricks that can be done with that tool that loud mouths on youtube have stifled over the years. I hope you keep using it and also looking for ways to use it that aren't necessarily typical. I use it to cut mortises for traditional M&T joinery. Why waste time with a router when i have an amazing machine to cut perfect mortises?

[@donlong1620]

Do you sell complete plans for Mid Century Modern furniture? Or do you know where plans can be purchased?

[@canaldomaurao6237]

Bela peça! Verdadeira obra de arte...

[@midjetville]

Skewing the block plane causes the cut to be better quality because it effectively increases the angle, similar to using a high angle block plane.

[@Yusufmasron]

beautiful piece of work. i would have thought you would place the bevel surface on the top rather than under

[@AmirSoltany]

[@gardenstatewoodworks8396]

You do awesome work my man. I have learned so much from your videos. Someday I hope to start a KZbin channel.

[@gizanked]

Best way to do those bevels is to find your friend with a 5' wide bandsaw mill and just prop up one side and take one quick cut. Super easy just clean it up with a card scraper.

[@SamWanamaker1]

How do the skirt washers work on the ends of the table where they are slotted parallel to the wood movement as opposed to perpendicular on the sides?
