Since March 2023, my wife and I started to renovate our first home down south of France (Cannes). It has been our dream to have a 100% self-made wood dining table. Thanks to all the channels of woodworking and DIY, especially this one, I managed to pull it off. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@radekzgarba4052]

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

[@WisKrisKar]

Loved this video! The ONLY change I would make would likely be to slightly round the finished table corners, for the only reason that my kids tend to run into a lot of things. All the time. Every day.

[@HarrisonFord11]

Good thing no one asked you.

[@alecmcmahon]

I like the template method. You're smarter than you look.

[@samatcernics]

Man I love your work!!! If you ever want a free laborer for a week just let me know, I'd fly out in a heartbeat just to gain some knowledge. Myself and my fiancé are currently just buying tools one at a time as we can to try to get a shop started. You're a huge inspiration!!! Thank you for all the work and content you put out!

[@UnholiestJedi]

Really enjoy your channel. You show people that woodworking doesn't have to be complicated. This piece turned out great!

[@alexblazquez2277]

Beer helps

[@jamesnation6009]

The plywood template is genius!

[@GraphicDesignerStephen]

I rally appreciate how you show your tricks/tips. As someone who is just getting into woodworking, you make it look like this is something I can actually do. Plus you’re kinda weird, and I like that.

[@m.louisphotography1630]

I was wrong! I thought this was yet another video on building tables. But, it is Saturday and raining, so I watched. I didn't expect much. BUT, wow, a great idea for not going math crazy! Loved it. Thanks.

[@Jb-qn2xz]

I'm a metal worker who is trying woodworking and I am using math and a print for projects, in my profession we cant just put things together and make them fit so it's habit. We normally have an exact measurement with +/-0" tolerance we have to make happen. We know it will go together not hope, and if it doesn't it's because there is a problem somewhere that has to be corrected. I am going to try just winging it on a project to see how it comes out. I am learning a lot from you and others which is awesome thanks for showing great techniques and sharing your skill in your craft.

[@timetraveluser]

Unreal! I could watch your builds all day long. One day I’ll get around to trying this out myself, until then please keep the videos coming!

[@Luqman899]

Man....you're livin the dream...

[@JordieLaforge15]

Keep the videos coming! Just started with woodworking and have learned a lot from your channel. Good stuff!!

[@DragonLawyer]

Dude same!

[@Lutzboater]

Your methods and disregard for math inspire me. A beautiful table that will please whomever has it in their home for many years. Well done.

[@CesareVesdani]

This table has a superb style.

[@UncleSarkis]

I don't know why anyone would give it a thumbs down. Awesome video.

[@kamran102]

Thanks for actually showing what you (we..) are building at the beginning of the video. So few people do that and it drives me crazy!

[@mixedgoods1407]

beautiful

[@djbloodshot]

That trench cutting feature is a game changer for mitre saws

[@johntoves9015]

I didn’t like Jason’s videos at first but I sped them up to 1.25 speed and they’re great. He reminds me of a guy I worked with that said, “I mean what I say so I take my time saying it.”

[@joshuaaprice5225]

You are very entertaining. Very good talent for building and helping my mental health with humor :)

[@pebkacz]

Great piece of work there. Love your methodology and your humour, mate.

[@l.k.1011]

Finally someone say that glue alone is strong enough. No dominos, biscuits or anything else needed. Edit: I dig your straight forward working style. Very refreshing.

[@karldi7648]

You were close to "planking" on the planks of the table! Thank you, I love your videos!

[@jimpike3489]

Great build, white oak is so elegant. i thought the table was great, i hope the buyer is really happy. Thanks for sharing.

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

I love this table! I love the project! I love the Beer in this application! I really love the MATH or lack thereof! Your Humor though is spot on my friend. Thanks for sharing, and teaching the non Math Class. Felix

[@crankstonshnord6591]

The other nice thing about cutting that type of half-lap on the miter saw is that you can easily cut at an angle. You would probably need a specific sled/jig to achieve similar results on the table saw

[@MikeFaneros]

Very true, though on the table saw you'd just use a miter fence. Most table saws come with one. Or you can take a wedge at the appropriate angle and put it between the work piece and the back fence of a sled. I don't have a sliding miter saw, so his technique wouldn't work for me. There's so many ways to accomplish similar goals in the shop! :)

[@andyclay6804]

10 Barrel Apocalypse IPA. Nice choice. I’ve had a few of those. Nice project too.

[@faustoclemente6046]

That was fun, specially when you are having some beer. Don't take alcohol when using cutting instruments, like you said.

[@noamlabounty7797]

Beer with the sanding - This is a good idea! Seriously - I think i'll implement it in my work flow.

[@nancyjonutt5400]

Excellent class.

[@nancyjonutt5400]

Hideous music

[@mymemeplex]

While you join the long pieces in line with the table top boards, making wood movement a non-issue, you then join those to the crosspieces of the base, which makes wood movement an issue again. What you could do is join them using an elongated hole and use some washers, so they could slide a bit when the top inevitably expands or contracts.

[@zamfent]

Yeah, this really confused me too. When the top expends laterally, it's going to try and force those stretchers apart, which are locked in place with dominos in the leg assemblies. Wouldn't z-clips all the way around the interior rectangle make more sense?

[@luke9822]

I understand the critique with what was done here, but do not really understand your solution. Can you explain your elongated hole and washer configuration?

[@williammoore4101]

Don't take this the wrong way, Mr. Moth. Your process is stupid simple. (By "stupid simple" I mean "awesome" and "amazing")

[@pauljackson5525]

Lol ya, wouldve went with a mortise tenon

[@matthewdavignon658]

Been watching videos for a few months.Like all of the videos and the humor in the video. Thanks

[@Cheapthrill1979]

They did love rounded edges in the 60s

[@djtblizzle]

Woooooooooo wee!!!! That tabletop is SLICK! Excellent job my friend! Above my skill level, but a badass table!

[@markusallgaier5517]

10 barrel and sanding is an excellent combo.

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtraught]

Best sanding tip ever.

[@Joker-lb2tx]

Out of all the woodworking videos I watch your is by far the funniest and helpful. Keep them coming!

[@DavisStillson]

The plywood mockup is brilliant..

[@kepstein8888]

I like how you kept the natural wood color.

[@chicochavez2997]

Absolutely loved it... Then you rounded over EVERYTHING!!!!!

[@jggreenhouse4230]

You are a very talented artist with a fantastic sense of humor to make your videos fun and informative

[@TheAntigoose]

I will never get enough of your videos!

[@markemerson5324]

GReat build! I like the simplicity of the leg layout!

[@JayReidy]

I happen to love math, but your angle method is pure genius!

[@andejo4436]

Best woodworking channel period!!!!

[@timoerkens4184]

Your videos feel like a comedian walked into a woodworking shop and just started building stuff, gonna use your tips and tricks on projects thanks kind sir

[@tattplace9933]

Great video and off to the den to attempt a replica. The thumbs downs must be from trees or people who make tools that don’t feature.

[@johnortiz7216]

u r the master…..thanks

[@PlatyMadness]

I hate Math as well! aaaannnd I call it a Chop saw too! So you sir are now my favorite woodworker on youtube!

[@nightmaremermaidanimations5649]

I love the fact that your wife helped could you include your wife In more of your videos if she wants to be in them

[@abdullaalsaffar8460]

Love it ...😊 thanks ! Cheers from Bahrain 🇧🇭 👍

[@Chomar-24]

How you made making those legs table that simple ! JUST WOW !!! 🤩

[@rdboston7866]

Your videos are well made

[@snacking5908]

He makes everything seem much easier. A lot of other channels turn you off from woodworking because lost people do not have all of the tools the professionals do

[@JK-jl1bf]

That was really satisfying to watch and I learned that in a pinch and with some creative problem solving skills that doing math isn’t and shouldn’t be a pain you have to deal with to be a woodworker. Thanks. Also the sanding tip with the IPA was a super nice idea as I can only imagine because oak probably takes forever to sand. The part I loved the most was your design. It was simple and humble. The 3/4” Round Over bit helped the overall look be an inviting style to enjoy using as is that perfect finish. I can only imagine what the chairs would like. I’m imagining something with a 3/4” Round Over and a dowel design as a brace like this table has. Thank you. Side note, I personally have benefited from woodworking as a way to calm myself with all of the insane political junk going on that I don’t feel the need to even mention here. Wood has helped me feel more at peace knowing that hard work and a goal oriented attitude that can help carry a passionate idea to fruition is more practical and empowering than dealing with all the stress watching news can cause. That stuff should come with warning labels. Just saying. Thanks again and I feel inspired. You did excellent and deserve props. 👍🏻

[@michaelkaye4998]

A nice follow on would be to build chairs to go with the table 😁

[@georgemoriel1710]

Yeah. I would also like to see some chairs for these dinning table

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Keep up with ur awesome work and craftsmanship make on my friend

[@nickransom7635]

Was watching this with my wife the other day and she fell in love with this table, but the plans for it seem to have been removed. I'd love to buy the plans to try my hand at making it. Awesome build and videos!

[@taherakhan7044]

Awesome. Beautiful, simple, functional

[@skokes2010]

Nicely done and fun to watch you work.

[@Mostviews111]

Love the table I think that round stock would have looked better with it through both stretchers making it look like a big dowel joint.

[@edolina2000]

Love your voice

[@cospittner3526]

Really like the template idea to make angles and sizes simple. Excellent!

[@lukewoollard5115]

Looks awesome.

[@CanCraneDoIt]

Love your thumbnails

[@yuggitaraboulsi]

Awesome table. Love your channel

[@jacquesemond]

Man, you're quite something !! Keep on doing the great work while having fun too !! From Québec at -8 F.... Sigh...

[@JoeAnshien]

Fantastic - But I kept waiting for you to go roundover crazy on the table top.

[@dan_da_man99er91]

It looks beautiful... thanks for the inspiration!

[@robvanza]

What a beauty!!

[@georgemoriel1710]

Nice project!! I like your videos, i would also like if you made a videos of the chairs as a follow-up for the dinning table. Stay safe! Saludos!

[@antonoat]

Loving the simple elegant design, white oak perfect too!

[@joshhorn5131]

Chopsaw for the win!

[@johncramer1857]

Beautiful table!

[@theburnetts]

I feel like cutting the legs simply by matching up the pieces to the template, marking with a pencil and then cutting at the chop saw would be inaccurate enough to make the legs come out slightly different lengths. My chop saw doesn't have a laser. But even if it did it feels like you only need to be off by like 1/32" when you make that cut and you will have a wobbly table.

[@ezecapo90]

Great work! Quick question: How did you attach the table top to the legs? Screws + Glue?

[@arollofcukin2452]

Been watching your channel for a few weeks now. Your videos are amazing. I have learned so much, your videos help me challenge my skills and get me to learn new ones. I hope to be able to get to your level of experience one day. The dream would be turning it into a legit business not a side gig. Keep pumping out the content it is amazing! The pallet video is still #1 in my books.

[@3wetpaint]

Beautiful work

[@nightstringers]

Sanding ....Hello mask .....lol lol ...That table looks amazing. White Oak it cool but white oak loves to have checking .

[@matdadon]

such a beautiful masterpeace

[@AstroMan85]

You forgot to round off the edges and corners of the table top. Just kidding lol. Jokes aside it looks really nice. I watch your videos on the Makers Channel and you make some cool stuff. Keep up the good work

[@jamartin1]

Very nice!! Yes you got to have a beer to sand!💜

[@makeverse584]

You made me almost cry 😭😭😭

[@rdboston7866]

Love that table. Great job!!

[@larrybarry6266]

Brilliant! I keep hoping that I get to use the Pythagorean theorem in one of my projects!

[@kimchan2108]

It's a nice table

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

Great video, instructional and content. You're style and humor is second to none on here. THANKS for all of it!

[@fa113nreturns5]

Great video.

[@nicktopinoplus8393]

Aside from a man with that beard drinking an IPA being almost cliche, I absolutely love this table! It's exactly what I'm looking for. Video saved, channel subbed. Cheers!

[@timmspencer4632]

Very happy I found your channel dude. Quality work, great step by step instructions. Thank you

[@dpbjlee83]

Awesome video - Thanks

[@kevinparker4160]

Great video. Really like how you explain your process.

[@jacksondyrhaug678]

HEY! I've watched probably close to all of your videos and they've been probably the most helpful thing to watch. I know some of your stuff doesn't go to clients, but one thing i've struggled with is costs/time and what you would sell them for. I feel really in the dark with stuff like that and It would be super helpful to know those things (maybe you could just slip that in at the end of the video or something) Or if you don’t want to share your margins and stuff, just saying how long each product took you and how much you spend on wood would also be really helpful to know. Thanks big time

[@EnjoyPlantPower]

Wood working and IPA for the win :)

[@DavisStillson]

Informative and the humor is icing!

[@nickalft6352]

This video made me subscribe to your channel. Going to copy most of this video. Except for mid-century, I think Ill twist it to Rustic Farm and use 4x4 for the base and add horizontal ends to the table top.

[@kevinmaynard5862]

Like the way u measure angles😅😁

[@neilenglish8094]

Sanding + beer... My wife disagrees... However, I was sanding at 8am... Maybe she thought it was too early... 😀

[@scottprideaux4106]

Definitely too early to sand
