My Most Complicated Project Ever.

[@Ivo_Serra]

We miss your vídeos, man. Can't wait to see the built of this beautiful peace. This is, indeed, one of the best peaces you've done. And coming from you, that's saying a lot. Congratulations!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much for the love and kind words. Really means a lot and I’m going to try to get these out more

[@nickrobarchek2509]

Piece

[@brianeaves9348]

Wow. I'm experiencing equal parts inspiration and inadequacy after watching this. Really amazing.

[@juliaallen7149]

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.

[@ronnieahman6958]

Wow, what nice piece of furniture. You are true craftsman. Awesome to watch.

[@mallanac]

That is some of the best work I have ever seen - best 17 minutes I have spent for a long, long, long time.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha. Thank you so much

[@MaxSafeheaD]

I wish you where my neighbour! I'd love to stop by, help keep the workshop tidy, make tea, be a runner, just to see and learn more about this whole process of how you work. It's absolutely fascinating 😎

[@smatherton24]

the craftsmanship on this in INCREDIBLE. I've been wanting to jump into hand cut joinery and things like that but I have no idea where to really begin. Watching youtube videos and actually doing it is so different 😅

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha. It can be intimidating for sure but you gotta just go for it. Expect to make mistakes and be ok with that and you’ll learn a ton from that first project and get better each time

[@dholmes3307]

So, start the way apprentices did. Get some junk wood, get your hammer, chisel, saw and marking implement and make a joint. Then do it again. And again. For example, if you make a bunch of dovetails in 1x4 white wood or poplar, cut off just below the base of the join and do it again, you can get a lot made from one 8 foot board. Learning as you go and developing skill with each practice attempt. And then, when you want, you can use like pallet wood (watch out for metal) and learn on hardwood. Afterwards, they make good starting kindling for firepits.

[@jporterfield]

The complexity of this is mind-bending. I guess it's just do one step at a time, eh? Great job.

[@timstratton9]

that top seat-to-frame joint has me scratching my head... looking forward to the build video... inspiring work

[@TheRich4187]

My man.....Welcome back! It's about 4-5 months since the last video. You and your works of art have been missed! I am dying to see the full build video. I mean those drop in tenon to sliding dove tails are amazing. I can't imagine how hard those were to get right. You make one of a kind peices. Hope you have more coming soon.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Hey Rich, I really appreciate the kind words and support thanks for sticking with me!

[@geofukie]

just stumbled on your channel, you are a true craftsman. my grandfather was a Japanese carpenter. He built some beautiful pieces. He would be impressed by your talent and quality.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you very much for the kind words

[@st7snakebite]

This build, your workshop, your approach and attitude, the care for the craft and your energy you emit is so inspiring. Thank you brother, this is exactly what I needed in my,life today 🙏

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Wow thanks so much for the kind words! Really means a lot

[@sterlinghein]

What a rad piece. Your mortise-ry is so clean. I really enjoy your blue shop walls and contrasting dark wood. Calming and grounding.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@peterpark4911]

I couldn't wait to watch this as soon as I saw the picture. It was when I saw pegged through mortise & tenon joints over 30 years ago that made me want to become a woodworker. The sliding dovetails are also great features. The upcurved breadboard ends add a lot to the design. I love the contrast in wood tones. I have found that there is nothing I do that provides the same satisfaction as woodworking. Although incredibly frustrating at times, I'm sure you really enjoyed building this piece. Without enough work space, woodworking is still only a hobby for me. I only build smaller projects for now but am looking forward to owning a woodshop of my own some day. Until then, I'll keep buying clamps and learning from videos like yours. This was truly a masterpiece that would win awards if you entered them into contests. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Thanks for sharing this video with us Chris!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Hey Peter. Thank you so much for the message and kind words. Really means a lot!

[@johna.9742]

Man have I missed your videos. I ordered your plans for the farm table a while back and so far, have built two for my daughters and they love them. Both were out of walnut. Now my wife wants one and this one will be made from oak. Thanks for all you do.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks for the continued support man! I’m honored you made you daughters tables from my plans. Really cool!

[@richardlaymance9984]

As always I’m amazed at the precision of your work. It’s another masterpiece. So good to see you and I hope Utz is still keeping you company.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha thank you. Unfortunately Utz would rather follow my kids around all day and pick up their scraps than hang with me haha

[@FernwoodFarmsWoodworking]

Beautiful! And very well thought out!

[@johnkelly6942]

That table is gorgeous. You should be very proud!

[@RedBudRed]

Bro, this is fantastic! One for the great grandkids to argue who gets to keep it in their house(or wherever people will be living in 100 years) Great work!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha yea hopefully this style isn’t considered gaudy and they still want it someday

[@TaylorHubbell]

Stunning build, can’t wait to see the video. Lighting in the new shop is tremendous, beautiful footage and I love the small dado accent on the leg to strengthen the shelf and add the subtle design integration. Really beautiful

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks man. Really appreciate that!

[@benjaminrees6560]

Another beautiful masterpiece Chris. I built the tressel table from your plans I purchased a few years ago. Took me 6 months lol. I always enjoy your work man. Keep the videos coming sir!

[@ghartleben1]

I love your craftsmanship ! you're a Master in this Art. This is a true masterpiece of furniture. Congratulations ! I like that your carpentry style promotes the woodworking more at a true hand-craft, rather than the technology used for a piece of furniture put together with pocket-joints... Keep up the good work. There's a lot I can learn from you. Thank you. 🙏

[@peterjohnston6527]

Beautiful work. Inspiring

[@mattevans-koch9353]

That is beautiful even with no finish. Good to see you back.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@matthewallen1979]

Hey mate, I love the work you've put in here and I especially like the "hand hammer" instead of reaching for an actual hammer 😄😄😄 Keep up the good work. 👍

[@oliverwoodcraft9733]

Wow buddy. That’s awesome.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks man!

[@KushXIII]

My god. That is a thing of beauty. Well done my fellow Michigander!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@LutherBuilds]

Wow! Gorgeous work, Chris. That's gotta be so satisfying assembling that. That belongs in a museum.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks bud. Yes super fun to assemble!

[@blakehaas3205]

That is absolutely beautiful. Nothing more to say than that.

[@SethsProject]

Yeah, that's a lot of work... Everything had to be so precise for everything to come together with no issues. Incredible job man! This is one of those pieces that you really can't put a price on.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much man. I actually want to add 2 sliding doors with kumiko inlay for the bottom shelf but I just wanted to get the project done.

[@emanueladadarlat3159]

Exquisite craftsmanship and refined attention to detail.

[@Craftycat200]

I hope this is the start of you bringing out more build videos again! Miss them so much

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Tim. I appreciate that and yes hopefully lots more

[@justdiver]

Yes. This. Beautiful. Inspired.

[@bigredruss73]

Really enjoyed watching this! This is like one giant teaser for what I hope is a bunch of vides to come on your process for this project. I see so many details that need to featured. Great work!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks! Not sure if I’ll do more than one more video. I might do one on the top but we shall see

[@nickhenneman4890]

This is a beautiful piece of furniture. thank you for sharing

[@josedasilva2541]

Vraiment génial votre meuble de style japonnais. Je regrette de ne pas maîtriser l'anglais car j'aurais aimé comprendre vos commentaires. Chapeau l'artiste

[@karenstevearmstrong4594]

Outstanding work!!!

[@b.a.ritzenthaler5874]

Wow! Just WOW!

[@johan0021]

Incredible work as always! Looking forward to the build video series for this and seeing the finished piece. I need to get back in the workshop...

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

WOW!!! Awesome how it all fits together! Cool Joinery! 👍👊

[@richsumner8402]

Wow man. I can't even tell you how impressed I am with this! My opinion is this ranks as a masterpiece.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you rich! I really appreciate that

[@kables6897]

This is awesome. Your videos have really helped me on my own woodworking journey, thank you.

[@mc603]

This the most incredible build I have seen. Inspiring (which is woodworker for "I have to try some of those techniques now."

[@konmingyew7282]

just absolute beauty.

[@CaptainofmyShed]

Absolutely stunning design and build. Love the Japanese style. I bet you’re a fan of Ishitani furniture on the tube!

[@steelshade]

A work of art. May it be a lasting legacy in your family for generations.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

I hope so!

[@ikust007]

Can’t wait to see the whole serie.

[@Tinker1950]

What a stunning piece of artistic work. Now, if I had the skill and knowledge......

[@zacberes6647]

You are crazy talented. Your hard work to your craft does not go unnoticed. Glad to have a new video from you and looking forward to full build!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Zac! I really appreciate that

[@jimzeier3504]

Just awesome design and execution

[@RyanJBarnard]

Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@paulhopkins1720]

Thats one of the nicest thinga I've seen built! I love your woodworking style, thanks for the video.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Paul!

[@havaneseday]

Wow!! What a beauty!! 👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍

[@jamesopell]

Very creative design and amazing joinery. The contact between the white oak and black walnut is beautiful. Great jog.

[@BillHartCooks.]

Dude! I am older than you, but I want to be like you when I grow up..... Very Nice Build....! Respect!

Bil Hart. Sir I know exactly what you mean 😣

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, Chris! Really amazing looking piece!!! 😃 Please, try not to disappear again! 😬 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha thank you and I will try!

[@JoeRadio73]

Looking forward to seeing you finish the drift boat

[@xris785]

That’s a very very nice build. I was considering tusk mortise and tenons for a work bench build, and I think this has convinced me that is the way to go.

[@bolerkai]

You are one of the most inspiring woodworkers I have seen, this is a very beautiful piece. Cannot wait to see it with the finish and more on the build. Very awesome, TY.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Levon! I appreciate thay

[@benrudman3917]

I cannot like this enough. Beautiful work as always my friend. -Ben

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha thanks Ben!

[@rossgolledge2701]

Man this is such an amazing piece. Always brings a smile to my face when you post a new video, everything about them is so wholesome. Can't wait for the full build video!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks brother!

[@wreckenbach9703]

The piece has so much good, so much soul, going for it. There couldn't have been a better way to see you back into the land of the Tube. I hope all is well.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Jesse_Dhue]

Here I was thinking (1/2 way through video) ah it’s no good if you can’t lift the table by the top to move it around, then I saw the sliding dovetails 😍 executed beautifully!

[@luigicicatiello3991]

I've only one word: "WOW!!!!"

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Absolutely Beautiful and very elegant design and very clean lines. Wow. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God bless.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Jared, I always appreciate you checking out my videos and commenting!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

@@ThirdCoastCraftsman your very welcome my friend.

[@glennryzebol4472]

I was just wondering what had happened to you and here you are. This thing looks fantastic and screams Samurai Carpenter to me. Meant as a compliment as I think his work is beautiful also

[@neilf4128]

Really awesome job Chris. Its rare to see a woodworking video that inspires one to create something. I appreciate your obvious passion and excitement. I can see you put quality into each joint. Thanks for sharing your craft and joy.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@chrisbailey600]

Absolutely brilliant. Love the design. Well well done!!!

[@coastalconcepts8735]

Great to see you back in action! Cant wait to see that bad boy with some finish!!

[@paulkramer4176]

beautifully done. I've done a few sliding dovetails and there are always (with me anyway) a lot of test fitting and shaving that comes with the job. I'm not surprised this took you a couple months. Nice work and thanks for the inspiration.

[@jeandutoit1413]

Masterfully done and absolutely awesome!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Aaron I really appreciate that

[@therelaxingwoodshop7495]

Had to watch this x2 so nice .

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha thanks my man!

[@chrisnoyce1059]

Beautiful work

[@theofarmmanager267]

There is something very satisfying in making a piece where the quality of the joinery is what makes the piece strong. Too often, it’s easy for me to rely upon glue and/or fasteners. I no longer make entirely hand made pieces just because my body won’t let me spend too much time bending or using my shoulders - but I’m quite happy to use machinery to help me - it doesn’t take too much away from the skill level required. First time I’ve had one of your videos suggested to me - already subscribed. I just winced slightly at you using that plastic faced hammer on the finished oak - I would have had serious problems with my teachers errr…..55 years ago.

[@joshwalker5605]

Amazing, this is clearly so much work. Thanks for the video, good to see you back.

[@sawdust2876]

That piece is outstanding. Your design skills are top notch. Wish you continued success.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@tjackson86]

Love this! Though my wife didn't appreciate all the hammering in this video whilst she was trying to sleep next to me lol tap tap tap.... tap tap tap....

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha I bet she was really happy

[@ArmyVet76]

That is a lot of beautiful joinery. The Walnut and White Oak always look so good together. Awesome job 👊🏼

[@ChetKloss]

Clearly superior work. Well done.

[@michaelscott8226]

Simon r said what I was about to put down. Figured something happened (life, injury, illness, the list goes on), but now you're back. Glad to know all is well. This table is amazing. I have been dying to get back into my shop, but it's not air conditioned and the temperatures here in Kansas have been upper 90's to as high as 108. I can deal with low 90's pretty well, but that's a little over the top. Things are looking up though, and hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks I can get back out there. Great job. Can't wait to see the build video.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank so much for the kind words and thinking about me. I’m really happy to be putting videos and projects out again too. Hopefully I can keep it going!

[@TheTranq]

Really great design and execution. Nice job

[@davidjennings9253]

Superb precision, Great job!!!

[@Yokopalu]

What a beautiful piece. You can tell by the assembly alone how precise that work is! Very impressive!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you!

That’s a beautiful piece!!!

Thank you

Hey Chris, great looking project. Thanks for sharing it! love those through mortices

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you mark!

[@MichaelHall-rf3pl]

Great looking piece! I think what I love the most is not how it looks though but how well balanced everything is. When you put on the center foot and it didn’t fall over also paid homage to how well balanced your workbench is and your floor is. Great job man!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much!

[@ursklahr5601]

MARVELOUS ! ... and these sliding dovetails for the top - just incredible.
