I went to a famous art school and I am sure they would consider this art. You are also a great craftsman, which I believe is essential to being an artist. As to your narration, I dislike totally silence, it is like keeping secrets. i prefer some explanation of your thought process from time to time , but i hate constant babbling. Your narration in this video was well done. Great table, but leaving the open slots in the middle triggered my OCD. I kept waiting for you to add glass to fill the gaps, but that is just my personal brain dysfunction. At least you acknowledged it as a possible issue for a buyer. In spite of my brain issues, it is still an exceptional piece , and thanks for not using epoxy!

[@ragnkja]

“Artisan” is the perfect word for what you are, because you’re both a craftsman _and_ an artist, and simply calling you an artist ignores the craftsman aspect. And I think we can all agree that that aspect cannot and should not be ignored.

[@fabiena1787]

For your education, 'artisan' and 'craftsman' are the exact same thing in France. Artisan, while it seems to take a different meaning in English, just like 'boutique' and other French words, means precisely 'craftsman'. It's a French word through and through, and comes in direct line from the latin 'ars' (that one would sould different in English as well, admittedly). The word 'art' itself referred precisely to skilled work, until recently, where people felt the need to be deemed creators themselves.

Wife smiled and said, "worst carpenter, ever". I did get to the table a month later. It has stood the test for almost 15 years now, despite looking somewhat whimsical. African Rosewood and oil. Wife approves. That was the last project I did before travel and life took over. I just dusted off the shop last weekend and made some preliminary sawdust. We'll see where it goes.

I have been working in commercial cabinetry for 15 years. Your videos remind me of the excitement I used to have about making beautiful things out of wood. This makes me eager to rediscover that joy and satisfaction - building complicated boxes on deadline kinda took the joy out of it for me. And I really like your humor (especially now, we Americans deserve every bit of derisive mockery you can think of, I’m totally here for it.) I like the commentary; it allows your personality to come through, and illustrates your craft with a bit more depth than might come through just with the video on its own. The “My Mechanics” site is a favorite of mine, but I also greatly appreciate his “insights” channel, where we get some explanation and are able to hear from the craftsman in his own voice. Lastly - I also appreciate your effort to find an alternative to using resin to finish out a live slab table top. It’s a fine material and very useful, but yes - it’s kind of been done and has tended to perhaps take peoples’ eye off the ball in terms of creative solutions. Some friends of mine inherited a George Nakashima dining room table which only uses butterfly joinery, and it’s a gorgeous piece. I personally am not that excited about live edge furniture, but when it is done creatively and beautifully, there’s no arguing with the results.

[@sharlawilliamson9609]

Beautiful craftsmanship! I love how you carried the intricate design onto the legs. Sometimes there is a visual disconnect between the character and depth of the wood, when placed upon flat metal legs, though some are nicer than others. I guess it's preference, but I prefer the entire project to be created by one person, rather than purchasing the legs from someone else. Anyway, you have a new fan in Canada!

I think this table turned out beautiful! Stitching in the middle is different & very cool.

One of the nicest designs I have seen in a long time. If I had the money and was in the market for a table, I would not think twice! Well done!

Wow, man. It looks awesome!!! I usually skip through videos like this. I was thoroughly impressed with your skills and attention to detail. Great work!

Your narration is educative, especially your choice of words whe. Describing what you are doing. Also, what you said about an artist was very unique. This is my first time on your channel. I love your channel, I love your skill, and the dexterity and love at which you do your work. Good job sir

this table is absolutely beautiful. Please keep the comments and narration. I learn so much from what you tell us. It's also great that you show what works and what doesn't work. It's hard to learn when everything goes perfectly, I learn so much more when a mistake is made and the solution to the problem is shown.
