Coffee Table With Hidden Drawer - Part 2 of 2

#woodworking #coffeetable #drawer
In this video I finish making a panelled design coffee table with a hidden secret drawer using beech and birch for my mum and dad as a gift. In this video I make a top for the table, table top mounts that allow for expansion and contraction of the wood, and I try to match some existing furniture in their living room (from memory and without seeing it due to the current lockdown measures, which was tricky!).

Lovely finish on the wood there Keith. I reckon you add that makers mark so when you are old and grey sat with your feet up watching Antiques Roadshow, one episode the expert will go: ‘Did you know this is a Keith Brown? Well here the mark clearly shows’😀😀

[@jenniferlawrence8533]

Love ...love push pull drawer. Table is perfect. No drawer handle is the best idea. Had the push pull on many closets and cabinets loved it😍

[@emm_arr]

Really nice work. Looks rather like an old-fashioned linen chest. The concealed draw is a very good idea. Stay safe.

[@sisters1941]

Who wouldn't love to have something homemade by one of their children. Another nice job Keith. I too like the spring hinge drawer. Good job Keith.

[@MrBigMalT]

Lovely job, and really great match for the fireplace etc!

[@somebody655]

Great product- worked perfectly, no issues.

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Lovely job on the unit mate and the finish is stunning indeed. Great video chap

[@woodworkwonders4835]

Nice work Keith, good tip I learnt for reducing movement in solid wood tops is to make sure you apply finish to both sides of the wood. Logic is, the side with no finish may absorb moisture at a different rate to the finished side and therefore cause movement with seasonal change.

[@lewistube]

Excellent end product Keith, they must’ve been made up.

[@user-oy4gf6ck5u]

I think the coffee table matches perfectly with the colour of the fireplace . It came out nice and i love that the drawer is hidden (no knobs) . Really nice , Good job !!!!!!

[@awantamta]

Another excellent project. It looks absolutely stunning.

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

Looks realy good. Good Son.

[@uktony1525]

After seeing this table made for your parents I think a lot of people will be queuing up to adopt you !😁. Lovely project and I was flabbergasted that it was only 3 days work as it looks super classy.

[@keithbaker5042]

Looks Very Nice!!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Another great project and video. Thanks mate

[@shanemilehi]

Very nice piece.

[@alastairmackay4589]

Nice job squire

[@romanbaczynski8656]

Nice spending 3 days doing this for your mum and dad when you’re still doing so much on your house 👍🏻

[@FranksDIY]

Nicely done.

[@manicmaker52]

Awesome job...

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith, a very nice piece of furniture very well made and certainly very sturdy,I'm sure your parents will absolutely love it,well worthy of a 5 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

[@woodshop7487]

Love that Keith. Looks stunning. Really like the plywood edge as the draw opens. 👍👍👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

As always👍🏼💙

[@carlthorpe4059]

Great build Keith, turned out spot on!

[@mrbrianparker]

Really nice table Keith, looks great.

[@David-xu3yk]

I'd say that's a pretty good colour stain match!

[@RANCIDMD]

Love your work Keith. I get loads of pallet wood from my work so I've been making lots of planting troughs for friends and family in my down time.

[@David.M.]

Excellent!

[@gryffindork9563]

Looks amazing! 💜💜💜💜

[@stevebosun7410]

Hi Keith, nice project, well executed. I've never had much luck staining Beech, some pieces seem to have uneven porosity, resulting in a blotchy finish.

[@hebierob]

Classy!!!

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Looks brilliant mate 👍🏽 I really like the idea you came up with to attach the top to the base. Excellent build, Keith. 👌🏽

[@wizz4392]

Nice job!

[@OldTownFabricationDesign]

Really nice keith. Good job on the hidden drawer too. You wouldn't know it was there just by looking!

[@NomadMakes]

Great build and video :D The color turned out really nice, and I really like those hidden drawers.

[@paultay23]

Bet they love that Keith, i wish i had been into woodwork before my mum passed away nearly 3 years ago now... Could you have used your domino to create the elongated hole in the top fastener...just a thought

[@cobberpete1]

I have seen a few discussions regarding the orientation of the wood for table tops. The jury is still out. As it is only 450mm wide, as you say, I don't think you will have any problems with the top bowing. So focused on the job, that you forgot the drawer supports were only screwed. It happens to the best of us 😎. Hidden by the slides themselves. Great job Keith. Parents will be very happy

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Peter. Yeah I’d be more concerned if it were pine or something with less tight grain, fingers crossed it’ll be ok! I always make silly mistakes like the one with the drawer slides when I’m jumping between projects, I should learn to concentrate on one thing at a time 😅

[@michaelplays2449]

Really nice Keith, well done

[@veronica5896]

Great build 😊 Your patent must be so happy and proud 😊

[@louissherwood5221]

Great work Keith, turned out very nice and something to improve your parents life in lockdown :) You didn't mention putting the top together with a spring joint, but you said the wood was very dry so hopefully no need ;) I don't think 18 min is too long for a vid, but it's your call.

[@skaterguy52]

Only thing I’d have done extra is finished the underside of the top also so both faces absorb moisture at the same rate to try keep it staying flat as possible.

[@slow96ss]

Beat me to it.

[@LeoSpaceman2012]

Great job. Don't be so hard on yourself.

[@peterpanassow7814]

👍👍👍

[@bigsecondrow]

Great result. Loved the stain colour. What make / colour did you use please?

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cracking job Keith, looks really nice I bet your parents where really happy. I do love a good Combi drill battery shot, very artistic. I'm brilliant at these types of angles, my angles normally make my workshop look like a sinking ship 🛳️😂😂

[@RagnBoneBrown]

😂 cheers Karl. Yeah it’s easily done! We need professional camera crews!

[@animationcreations42]

Colour isn't to my taste, but looks fab! Did you coat the bottom of the top with the varnish as well? Might end up cupping if moisture can get in at the bottom but not the top, especially with the grain not being the opposite. Would using the domino to cut the holes for the mounts not have been quicker than drilling holes then filing it down? Just a thought that could save you time!

[@paulmantegna76]

It looks like you didn't seal the bottom of the table top. (I could be wrong, perhaps I missed it). Every time I've done that I've got bowing, now I seal both top and bottom. Over all a good job.

[@MohoWU]

Hi Keith, the herringbone floor at 6:36 looks nice. Have you made a video on how to lay the floor?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Not really although I did do a Patreon video about the kitchen in general

[@MohoWU]

@@RagnBoneBrown Thanks. Would you mind telling me where you bought it?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It was done via a tradesman we've been using I think it's a product similar to karndean, can't remember the brand but the wood effect is hickory

[@anthonydixon4470]

Have you upgraded your drills etc to Milwaukee?

[@russframe]

Looks great Keith - can I ask which surface planer you have there? And also what do you think of it? I’ve been looking for a smaller planer, and respect your opinion...

[@jamesodlum3859]

i was about to ask exactly the same thing! i think its a charnwood of some sort

[@russframe]

James Odlum I ordered the charnwood from amazon in lieu of a response - let’s see how good it is - anything’s better than a 95 degree edge :)

[@jamesodlum3859]

haha. yes. im having to deal with my slightly dodgy handplaning technique at the moment! hopefully I'll be able to get a planer thicknesser soon too

[@andrewmidwinter8153]

Where do you get your wood from? Can you recommend any online stores

[@RagnBoneBrown]

New video coming soon which will answer that 👍

[@Zuhayralfattal]

I apologize for asking to subscribe to my channel because I thought that the profession supports each other but I misread the belief and accept my apology

[@OldDunollieman]

Corner bracket expansion/contraction slots are asinine, total waste of time and effort.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

How do you work that out?
