[@EvanAndKatelyn]

DUDE! This turned out amazing. I'm drooling an uncomfortable amount over that walnut.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Hahaha, yes walnut will do that to you :)

[@adavasquez4200]

Guys i found a best website about woodworking that is *TopFineWoodworking. Com* you can find every woodworking plan on this website

[@louishampton9532]

Guys I am learning woodworking at *TopFineWoodworking. Com* the best website to learn beginner to advance level woodworking

[@makeorbreakshop]

Heck ya walnut! Between this and the interview with Homemade Modern you are straight out of the mid century this week!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Make or Break Shop gotta venture out every once in a while 😃

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Love the design Brad! I have that dowel jig.... I need to use it more....

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Tamar! That jig was pretty cool.

[@tukang_ndeso]

Terimakasih atas video ini saya belajar banyak. Memang ini 5 tahun yang lalu, tapi untuk di negara saya tinggal alat-alat yang anda gunakan sudah sangat modern untuk saat ini.

[@CReevesMakes]

Playing cards....putting that one in the arsenal! Awesome work Brad! So clean and elegant!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, Casey, the playing card trick is a good one to have in the arsenal.

[@gordonmalcolm9117]

I didn`t intend to utilize this woodworking website, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but rather curious about it. I was truly impressed after trying it. I was looking to find out more about the art of woodworking, and was not dissatisfied. I found several topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.

[@brianbelgard5988]

Really cool piece here! I've used the card trick before but had never dawned on me to start by filling the entire gap and then splitting the card piles for the assembly, thanks for the tip!

[@OKCAHA100]

Очень стильный столик/тумба. Вы меня вдохновили.

[@eloisecamire3741]

It would be awesome if you could do a quick tutorial on how to do a matching floating table, with only the top part with drawer and how to attach to the wall. It would make a perfect pair for a minimalist decor. I love walnut so much!

[@alhakisan]

So nice! Beautiful table, I'm going to try it even though I don't have half your tools, will figure it out! That dowel jig is nifty, I might splurge on that though. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous design with an clear and understandable (excellent) video!

[@BronkBuilt]

Look awesome! I love the continuous grain flow.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+BronkBuilt my favorite part too!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Great build! Looks awesome. I like the playing card trick too. -Caleb Harris

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, Caleb!

[@blakehaas3205]

Loved the design so much I bought the plans. I'm currently building a pair of these out of Aspen. I'm just going to stain it with Minwax Special Walnut.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome, enjoy the builds!

[@Makebuildmodify]

Great tutorial Brad. Good job on the voice over too.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Make Build Modify thanks, Justin!

[@joseescobedo5347]

Go for this mid century modelo.

[@workshop_edits]

Looks awesome and nice work on those mitered edges!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you! They were easy to do but hard to setup :)

[@workshop_edits]

I know what you mean - I tried the tape method on a project a few months ago and it failed horribly - project still worked, but I think I was using the wrong tape! Cheers

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, I'd go with painters tape or a packing tape

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

That walnut was amazing

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Agreed...air-dried walnut is the best!

[@WesHamstra]

Looks great! I like the modern design

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Wes Hamstra me too!

[@tamarab.7151]

How nice! Looks 50/the 60s end table

[@prittywood6811]

Looks great. Love the knobless front.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Pritty Wood Thanks!

[@bigbelly5030]

FINALLY! A youtuber that cuts to the chase, not a second of time wasted on the video, and top quality info packed in here. Subscribed!

[@craigpereira6381]

Very nice

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Craig!`

[@AggieThomasA]

Just so happens I have been looking for a good side table design. Excellent video!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Thomas Anderson thanks, Thomas!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Plans are now available! gum.co/modernendtable

[@nickforster2496]

Love this! I'm planning on starting a pair of nightstands this weekend and I've been gathering ideas for awhile, and this is beautiful. If only I could get my hands on enough walnut

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Doesn't take much. Only four 8' 1x4's

[@nickforster2496]

Hmm good to know!

[@FennahMakes]

Great build! Looks like foureyes furniture!

[@ckeller07]

Very nice. The router work brings this project up to awesome!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks, Curtis!

[@feryjory]

Amazing work and design, it's very hard to stop watching your videos. excellent work on camera and editing techniques.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks so much!

[@2puggles]

Nicely done! Drum sanders are life changing!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Absolutely!

[@CraveCraft]

Nice project! Giving foureyes a run for it. Love the card trick!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@praveenpakianthan363]

good work

[@muddyfences5559]

That came together real nice.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@robertsoncletokoerner7012]

Belíssima peça, parabéns!!!!

[@malininrn]

Очень качественно! Отличная работа!

[@AndrewMiguelez]

You did a fantastic job, Brad. You'd never know this was your first modern design.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Andrew Miguelez thanks, Andrew!

[@gordonmalcolm9117]

I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?

[@sidneyanderson1824]

very nice work

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@markusthorne1486]

thank you

[@MikeytheMaker]

This turned out great Brad! That air dried walnut is salivating.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+MikeytheMaker thanks, Mikey!

[@frankgarcia9350]

Beautiful piece. Very nicely done.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+frank garcia thanks, Frank

[@gbjones54]

Fun to see it all come together. Love seeing the post on Instagram that show the progress. Thanks Brad

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Gary Jones thank you, Gary!

[@briankinnaman6532]

So amazing, man! Great job! (I know it’s like 3 years late. Ha!) I wonder though how many people walked away from this video thinking more about that “card trick” than the actual build...😂 That’s a cool little trick. Thanks for sharing this and keep on rockin! \m/

[@DoingWhatever]

Awesome project Brad! Good design and man that walnut looks great!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Doing Whatever yeah, love that walnut!

[@mccoywendell9609]

Much obliged to you, I am upbeat to buy your shed arrangement [Check Details Here?> *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. It has spared from being baffled, something I generally experience with different arrangements previously. I simply cherish the simple regulated strategy you utilize.?

[@cblelong]

Great looking piece Brad. Very well done.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Chris!

[@antonsundelin8260]

Cool build, that card trick was really smart.

[@WorksbySolo]

Hey Brad! I love modern! Those miters are SO clean man, nice work! Great design too!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Bernie!

[@Thom4123]

Awesome job Brad the table looks incredible.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you, Thom!

[@willworkfortools1484]

Excellent design and execution Brad. Some great tips and tricks throughout.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks!

[@jdalabama9792]

Thanks. Great build. Will try one using curly cherry!

[@lukemartin9037]

Brad this is awesome! I really enjoyed hearing you walkthrough the process of such a simple but complex looking build. Keep up the great work! That walnut grain!

[@jamonraz]

Very Chris Salomone style, love it, came out great!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I can only hope to live up to Chris :)

[@SDavis2702]

Dope, man. Love seeing a modern build. Hopefully you build more modern pieces in the future.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Sean Davis I'm sure I will, thanks!

[@mambojambostudio]

everything about this video was clean and well accomplished. Voiceover, design, instruction, camera, etc way to go! looking forward to more

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you so much!

[@ilyaivanov1745]

I liked this table!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@ryanbedford8568]

Great design! I bought your plans and I'm going to give a shot. If you don't have a nice drum sander like that how to you recommend getting the large glue-up flat? Jack plane? Or maybe install dowels before the glue up to ensure the boards mate perfectly? Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yes, both great options. Could brute force with a belt sander too

[@LuiCardenasphotography]

First time trying something in this style??? WOW!!!!! Came out amazing! It's even eye pleasing to see the top part folding together hehe.

[@HorizonElectricOH]

Looks great, Brad.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Nicholas D'Agostino thanks, Nic!

[@andrewalburn]

What a great video! You’ve made a very elegant piece of furniture look achievable with your approach, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@JolienBrebels]

Great work!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Jolien Brebels thanks!

[@ehsanmohseninasab4822]

I like your job is a plain & nice

[@chrisbouziotas6859]

The diagrams show exact cuts, but I saw you cut the ends off a bit. I am assuming I make the pieces longer than the measurements before glue up. I purchased the plans and wood yesterday.

[@WoodwardBuilds]

Dude Brad! I'm just getting around to watching this. What a great build! So many great tips in this orocess. Love the dowel joinery as I'm trying to move away from pocket holes myself. Another killer build and tutorial!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Woodward Builds thanks, Tim! The dowels were a little tricky at first, but a nice change.

[@BradleyAllenNewman]

One of the best woodworking videos I've seen on KZbin, clear and concise, and a beautiful outcome!

[@KiranBhatWoodworking]

Love the simplicity of this build!

[@mariojhorge23]

Hey, nice jointer b-theway

[@abdullahabdeen3181]

Marvelous! Fabulous!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Abdullah Abdeen thanks!

[@thedrizz1913]

Outstanding video Brad! That walnut does pop and it's nice to see you're finally working your way through all the wood you have in your shop!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Adrian Orozco just scratching the surface 😃

[@yors7172]

Adrian Orozco y

[@Duder_abides]

Great looking piece. Nice work.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Matt!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Great story telling using only the beam. Awesome. Also. The fit on the cross cut sled was perfect for those panels, pianist now, was that by design or was that luck of the draw?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That was by design :) Although I've just removed the back fence when things are too small.

[@jarviesteven]

Great video! there's a couple of tricks I'll be able to take into the shop after this one!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome! That's my goal with every video.

[@tooljunkie555]

Nice! I have never seen a 4 by 4 piece of Walnut like that very nice great video great looking table definitely have to check out the plans for this one I have a bunch of three-quarter inch Walnut that I've been stocking up waiting for the perfect projects and I think this is it

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome, Joe! Plans will be ready very soon!

[@tooljunkie555]

Fix This Build That sounds good bro can't wait to get them I'll just keep checking periodically to see if they're ready

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Ready now! gum.co/modernendtable

[@greglauderdale7595]

Dude! That is slick!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you, Greg!

[@johnconklin9039]

Great looking table. Only thing I might have done is thinned the material down to about 5/8", would have been more proportional. Just my 2 cents.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

thanks!

[@wornstandard9203]

Nothing like a nice waterfall edge

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, man! Feels good to pull that off.

[@annac0292]

Me: hmm maybe i can build an end table *watches video Me: 😳 nope

[@matiasgoinheix366]

wtf that card trick is probably as old as Poker and I never seen it before, thanks for that. It will be helpful. Awesome

[@raydivello5634]

Wow! Very nice Brad

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Ray!

[@bartek2028]

Really good looking 👌

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

[@lloydsnyder5022]

Awesome build bud!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Lloyd!

[@katie2920]

beautiful!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thank you, Kate!

[@belzhu488]

sooo beautiful, makes me want to learn wood working but i know i would have to start way simpler😭

[@mberger14]

Is it possible to cut the rabbit in the back on the table saw before glue up, or will that make the rabbit visible from the sides?

[@benuyeda]

wow! looks great!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+ben uyeda thanks, Ben!

[@woodworkingvideowatcher1873]

hi Brad great work and awesome video!!!!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+WoodWorkingVideoWatcher working on it!

[@woodworkingvideowatcher1873]

Awesome oh and I love the podcast MADE FOR PROFIT GREAT STUFF !!!

[@mlwadester87]

LOVE how you made this, Brad. Keep up the quality construction!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I can't promise there won't be pocket holes in the next project :)

[@bigdogmn73]

Nice job! Helpful!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Nate!

[@berdnik89]

Great video!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Artem!

[@Snakeplisskin440]

Thats an interesting colored walnut. Around here in Ohio I usually find a darker, brownish black walnut. Cool build. I've been thinking about doing some kind of mid century modern table. How does that dowel jig workout?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Works pretty well for centered dowels

[@dman5703]

Broooo! Amazing work

[@OrangesII]

Hey Brad, I've seem you use rough cut walnut before in other videos. Where do you get that from? All the wood working places I go to only have either S2S or S4S and it's 5x more expensive

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+Zander Kent search "lumber dealer" + your city in Google. You want a lumber or hardwood dealer, not a retail store.

[@ManCrafting]

By home center, you mean the one that carries Rigid right?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

+ManCraftingTM that's exactly what I mean 😃

[@sama.3708]

This is incredibly clean. You're killing it!

[@AusCycle]

Looks awesome! Love the mitred look. How did you attach the legs to the cabinet?

[@BruceAUlrich]

That's a really nice looking side table, Brad! I really like the results that card trick yields. What did you think of the dowel joinery? Going to use it more?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I'd say with the miters it was great. With the aprons it was a little dicey. I'll definitely use it more in pieces like this where you can't hide the joinery.

[@BruceAUlrich]

That makes sense. I've used through dowel pins a couple of times now, and I kind of like that look too.

[@andrewn247]

Cool project! Is it not problematic to be gluing end grain to end grain for the mitered box?
