Favorite channel by far!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@RichardConnor1]

We are unified. We are together! Nice Keith. Great vid and very nice tables.

[@negotiableaffections]

My failing, I admit, but I don't share a passion for the mid 20th century style. Having said that, these tables truly evoke that period style superbly. A most definite 'mission accomplished' piece of work with fine craftmanship and a little nod to 'handmade' which brings a nice freshness to the 'overly manufactured' feel of that period. Great work, well done.

[@negotiableaffections]

p.s. the description on your etsy has a typo I think , [its says "contracting decorative spline joinery"] Is it supposed to be 'contrasting'? - I'm not a grammernazi but the distinction between these two words might be confusing to some customers. All the best m8.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you I’ll put that right!

[@gerberagirl5]

Awesome job Keith! You're so smart the way you make things!

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

When it comes to furniture legs you are an expert . I love it and the legs are perfect . !!!!!

[@detroutspinners9933]

I’ve got some of that exact block board, not sure what the veneer is but it’s a perfect match for the oak dowels I’ve used in the past

[@itwasereonce]

Great video kieth and you make great furniture. Just a little tip with regards to the finish you are using. Do not use it on oak otherwise it will come out with black spots once dried. I learnt this when I made some oak coasters. Hope this helps you from not making the mistake I did 👍

[@davegower123]

Nice looking tables! Great job Keith!

[@wizz4392]

Nice done Keith. Love it.

[@HenryCorleoeneSang]

Excellent job Keith, outstanding nightstands.

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

NEAT! Simply stylish and functional

[@bsnoonan]

Great video. Thanks for showing your thoughts and reconsiderations.

[@sarahg3845]

Great project Keith, love watching your skill continue to develop.

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

Great work as always keith

[@cobberpete1]

Nice tables Keith. I agree with the damping the wood to raise the grain. I have been doing this for quite a while

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Good to know it works!

[@hansdegroot8549]

Nice build. I like the foot clamp at 0:57.

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@Retro_Vintage_62]

I really must start to try make stuff like this and move on from planters and garden chairs. Now to try source some nice wood that you always seem to have lying around , Cheers Kieth

[@paultay23]

Nice one Keith, love the thin cut trick with the hot glue

[@Scubadog_]

Have to be careful though, as you can even see kickback from the small pieces.

[@Kerpaint]

The video was great, nice project. Your music taste is great as well :)

[@SMee67]

First class bespoke side tables, mate.👍 I bet they get snapped up pretty quickly 👌

[@mohammedqtefan6758]

Great project. Keep up the good work. I enjoy following your channel Keith👍

[@dlamb2840]

What a great job. They look great!! You are clearly a wee bit nuts though eh! Couldn’t believe Dylan’s picture was “staging “ the finished piece. You and your partner clearly love that cat big time!! Loved it.

[@philwebb8049]

Another Cracking project Keith, love these!

[@Bonzomallard]

Love the design Keith. I think the legs could do with reinforcements of some sort. Maybe dowels or steel fasteners. You’ve made a lovely piece of art, and if that art can last longer, it’s a good thing. Thumbs up 👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I think the amount of side grain gluing surface and recessed joint will mean it’s plenty strong enough. Glue is stronger than the wood itself after all. I’d love to test it by standing on them but maybe not !

[@garenne0169]

great job keith

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Hot gluing a guide to your table saw table; that's a really good idea!

[@domramsey]

Love your attention to detail!

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Very nice build.

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice build love it 👍👍

[@Woodden]

Love the tables

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Keith! Thanks for sharing the bedside tables.👍😎JP

[@iamlonefrog4252]

Loved this build, your editing just keeps getting better and better. There is a calm easy way about you Keith Brown maker of things, we could stand to have a few more of you here on terra firma. I have one request... Could we see your impromptu salvages and street finds of reclaimed materials here on the youtube channel? I think it would add more depth and ultimately increase the quality of content. Plus I can get a tour of England in the process. Just some food for thought. Thanks for another great video!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah I’ll try and do something along those lines very soon. Thanks for the idea and feedback! 👍

[@BronkBuilt]

Nice job! Your vids are very easy to follow with very good instruction.

[@lorpas6934]

Aldilà del progetto, complimenti per la lavorazione. Molto bravo

[@ManoManoUK]

Fab job, looking good! 👍

[@ezra86]

Awesome project! Only comment is you went through the trouble to make those nice bevel joints but then covered them up with the edge banding. I think the diagonal lines of the bevel is essential to the midcentury look (if that's what you were going for). Otherwise very nice Star Wars tables :-D

[@PathinAZ]

Nice..I find in woodworking, a "stupid" mistake is only one you can't fix or adapt. great job..

[@garethsharp4039]

Great build Keith! I've recently been using the masking tape and superglue technique - would've worked a treat for the clamping blocks.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Great idea 👍

[@garethsharp4039]

@@RagnBoneBrown tip recycled from Ben at Crimson Guitars

[@azza1793]

Wow Keith, that’s a dust mask and a half you have there but seriously love watching your vids and following your story of fulfilling your dream.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@MoscaWoodworking]

love the design of these pieces

[@yellerbellyworkshop]

Great video as always.👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@nicharvey7211]

I literally have just made 6 of these boxes to go underneath a desk. (Totally stole your idea from your desk build vid). I made the first three and polyurethane them at the end, what a ball ache. So the next three I refinished the inside then do the glue up and sanded the outside edge flush. So much faster and a more superior finish. I masked off the mitre before applying the poly to. I also used dominoes for alignment and strength. Enjoyed the vid mate.

[@TODOTOCREATETOBE]

Fancy. Nice!

[@Badgerworkshop]

They look great. I don't think I have ever worked with block board

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yeah it’s not easy to find nowadays for some reason

[@PRACTICALLY_BLIND]

lovely stuff.

[@Phenrica]

These look like an AT-ST Walker from Star Wars 😂, I do like these and the build 👍🏻

[@teeagle79]

Ha, I was just thinking the same!!

[@nathalie5064]

Your work is amazing. love your videos

[@ClevesBackyardWoodworking]

Cool build!

[@chemcody5119]

Very interesting design Keith. I think I yelled "no no no!" when you added your glue blocks but hey......that's how we all learn!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Haha thanks Chem

[@garylee4141]

Nice style

[@charlesarnold4963]

A great video. I like the design of the tables. I cannot find a reference to the digital bevel gauge which you mentioned at the beginning of the vid.

[@matthewmaccormack7829]

Great vid mate cant wait for the hikoki vid

[@ConductorRyan]

Wow. I made two of these almost identical earlier this year.

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Love simple designs like this...my concern is the legs joined only with glue. not sure that will take some good old fashioned rumpy-pumpy in the bedroom...

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Haha. As they’re recessed in to the top and with plenty of side grain glue surface the joint should be plenty strong 💪

[@anthonydean1577]

These are cool looking . Have you not thought about making a tapering jig as I've noticed you do quite a lot of tapers.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’ve actually got one but tend to forget to use it

[@KIllaCuzza]

I noticed you where from Norwich, I am too and I’ve just got into woodworking. Wondered where you get your timber when you aren’t using reclaim? For example the more interesting ply you use?

[@piee683]

That's some job can I ask where you can get the personalised makers mark cheers

[@RagnBoneBrown]

eBay, search custom branding iron

[@hebierob]

Great great build. Love the joints for the legs!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Henry

[@thenorthernwoodhouse5015]

hi mr brown brill side tables can you please tell me where you got your branding iron from thanks nick

[@becool365]

The veneer is chestnut :D

[@adampadley1208]

Nice work 👍, to make it easier and neater you could of cut a half lap in the top of the legs, rather than cut the mortise. But very nice

[@loopedmess]

Half lap with bright wood dowels round or square

[@loopedmess]

The tables remind me of "deep thought" character from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

[@squadyben2021]

anyone else realises that at 7:48 he says hand saw

[@paultidswell2981]

Looks a bit like maranti sometimes called Malaysian mahogany

[@doubledarefan]

The blockboard appears to be made entirely of Lauan. But, of course, that does not mean it is.

[@prayudhitya]

Sangat bagus

[@Luchio79]

bello

[@zephatjeeeeeeeee]

[@MrOvo1231]

you made a boo boo you said you used a hand saw when i think you meant a hand plane @745

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yep!

[@jakobkrabbenrregaard81]

Why don’t you make the recesses in the legs, waaay more easy to hide your mistakes and get a tight joint... 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Because they were only 25mm thick

[@espjason]

I like the hot glue tip i enjoyed watching the making of the units. However i don’t like the design at all
