STEEL (Instead of Epoxy) RIVER TABLE!!!

[@parqld]

A table is one of the most important tools in the world for keeping families together. The leather patch nailed it. one of the best builds ever, your Grandpa would be very proud.

[@carlf4275]

That leather patch hit me in the feels

[@CamTarn]

Yup, absolutely

[@hobbes2555]

Probably the best part of the table.

[@Loki1620]

I'm not crying, you're crying!

[@BMF1RACING]

Carl F , couldn’t agree more. Very awesome tribute!

[@Jessethecraftsmen]

Same

[@ryanvance5554]

1. Your pup is adorable 2. This table is beautiful! Love the metal touch 3. The heart is a great touch for the family ❤️

[@jamsomito]

This right here is the quintessential maker video - wood, epoxy, steel, leather, and some excellent craftsmanship all summed up in a beautifully executed video. Fantastic work, loved watching, and great project!

[@DerrekHTN]

I like the way you treat wood. So old-fashion and true, with hand instruments, almost to none electricity involved. Great project, great job, great result.

[@kevinalmeyda]

Great table and great video. And for people complaining about the advertising...if you want to spend dozens of hours making videos for free, then go for it. Just don’t begrudge a guy who’s trying to make a living while producing excellent content.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks SO much Kevin! I can’t tell you how much it means when guys like you support me and stick up for me! Much appreciated brother!

[@kmgreensman]

I am going to tell you something. First off the Table is beautiful and the time and care you put into it shows, BUT, what you did for your grandma is the most thoughtful thing I have ever seen on youtube! I had no idea that was coming and I just flat out teared up. That is just amazingly sweet to do for her. . I don't know if you thought of this but you know your grandpa would be proud of you for that touch. I know you know him better than anyone so you can hear how he would tell you," "well done!"

[@kmgreensman]

Sorry I thought it was for grandma, but still just as sweet to do it for your cousin.

[@oopshenry]

Your grandfather will be remembered at every dinner party now. That is such a great idea & work!

[@mrehklau]

Beautiful table and that leather heart is a very special touch. My husband used to do a lot of work with steel. He said that scaling is left there deliberately by the foundry. The scale is protecting the metal from pitting and rusting as the steel plate is generally left out in the open. They'd just use a large belt sander to remove the scale coat after cutting the metal but before welding.

[@drewwithamericansouthdesig9288]

That is a thing of beauty. The leather inlay was awesome. That gives all the feels.

[@thedovetaildad7581]

That inlay heart is a brilliant idea and incredibly thoughtful. This is one beautiful table!

[@TheSM4ster]

The leather heart is honestly such a great touch! Amazing video !!

[@billymcintosh1349]

Tht is an awesome table man. Love the bullet holes and the piece of ur grandpas belt on the underside. I know he’s looking down on u and proud of you.

[@odw32]

Awesome table, amazing craftsmanship... but what stands out to me as well is the great camerawork and subtle editing touches on these videos. A pure joy to watch.

[@RedondoBeach2]

You're a visionary, talented craftsman and an artist, all rolled into one. Beautiful results. If your grandfather could see this table and your other projects, he would be incredibly proud of you.

[@clydebalcom8252]

The leather patch is a beautiful touch of kindness.

[@gramps6665]

Right on. The heart inlay got me in the feels. Very nice table.

[@jeremyhart5086]

Been meaning to watch this video since release, and again, you did not let me down, I just absolutely love your approach to these videos, and the Utz appearance put a genuine smile on my face, you my man, are the best!

[@kquick0238]

I could watch this 100 times. Absolutely awesome video. I’m kind of tired of seeing people build river tables BUT you did it in a way that was fresh and the delivery of the content was amazing!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Kevin!

[@funkymonkeylovin]

I LOVE this table. I thought I’d seen every iteration of river tables, but this is the best example I’ve seen.

[@РостиславЛінд]

The quality of picture is just perfect, awesome job, simple inspiration. Thanks

[@krisrota7619]

I notice you really pay attention to your viewers and you do things the old school way. I really want to learn how to weld. My grandfather taught me everything i know about carpentry so i know where youre coming from. Great video.

[@griffinohara9864]

Coolest river table I've seen. I love the bullets in that wood and the inlaid heart is great. Great video.

[@Sjjones1977]

Beautiful table, beautiful work, and a beautiful gesture. I do hope that your cousin enjoys the table. Adding the heart made from your grandfather's belt is a great way to share and add him to this piece. Great work and look forward to seeing your next project.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Steve! He was a very amazing man!

[@Phyrrax_]

You are a true craftsman. Keep up the inspiring work Chris.

[@laxgi]

This is awesome. That leather part is such a great way to keep his memory alive. I just lost my uncle who was always the one who I could ask questions to about my projects. My parents are having a hard time dealing with it. He left me all of his tools so I want to figure out something I can make for my parents using the tools he left me so they will have something too!!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

sorry for your loss man. its always hard

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

Utz always gets an automatic like from me. It could be a video of him watching paint dry and I will hit the like button.

[@nesterperiwinkle]

The added leather from your grandads belt was an awesome touch. My grandfather was a master woodworker and carpenter as well. This was an amazing project!

[@Buildingcorey]

That is beautiful. Love the metal and the leather inlay is super thoughtful.

[@drumunl]

At 3:40 when Utz shows up with the bottle of epoxy... LOL!

[@LutherBuilds]

My thoughts as well. He almost stole the show.

[@boredfartless4221]

Awwww he's an old lovely

[@richardlaymance9984]

That was an excellent job on matching those metal to wood edges. Great job.

[@sprntkr]

That! Was awesome!!! My grandpa was also my hero and that was a helluva idea you had to honor him

[@obiwan1062]

Man that table is so awesome. Tha transition from metal to wood is flawless great job sir. Always a pleasure to watch you work thanks for sharing

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks brother!

[@btdarterschannel112]

Such an awesome project! And the personal touch! Unbelievable!! I said something like this before, but I'll say it again. Your videography is BETTER than almost every network handyman show I've ever seen!!! Hats off to you!!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Haha thanks so much man! We are trying really hard to make good videos. Glad some folks are liking them!

[@timmoore9592]

Your shop Assistant is awesome! Table is pretty good too, but the 🐕 is the 🌟.

[@ronnieahman6958]

Fantastic job the table looks great. The small hartt under the table was a hartwarming thougt to keep your grandfathers memory alive and as a tribute to his memory.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Ronnie!

[@christianscustoms6429]

I don’t particularly love river tables but I really like this one! Definitely a very cool take 👍

[@troysgarage]

That's awesome, adding the heart out of your Grandpa's belt literally brought a tear to my eye as I thought of my own Grandpa! Love it!!!

[@jus6681]

Wow Chris! Great build and nice touch with the tribute to your grandpa.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks man, and don’t worry your intro isn’t scrapped it’ll be back on the next “woodworking” project :)

[@jus6681]

Third Coast Craftsman Hah, I figured that was the case. So you’re saying there needs to be a metal intro..? :-)

[@boblasley5640]

This build took river tables to a whole new level! Ever since seeing this project on Instagram, I've been looking forward to the video, which is of superb quality I might add. Love your choice of the walnut with the sawn bullets and as an old grandpa myself, the addition of the piece of leather from your grandfather's belt really touched my heart and gave us a peek at the man you really are. Kudos on the design, execution and artistry of the table and the video!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Hi Bob, thank you so much for this comment. It really means a lot to me! Thank you for watching my videos and supporting the channel!

[@stevengates8351]

I appreciate a well trained Utz. Good photobomber. He's a natural, like you.

[@gulfair-cavalry-tango1011]

Outstandingly well done, and with love! Here craft became art! Excellent art!

[@WayWoodworking]

Your full time status seems to being definitely paying off in your video quality. The build was awesome too!

[@brock2306]

Chris! I’m absolutely speechless you have definitely outdone yourself this time.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you Brock!

[@jmlcolorado]

I love everything about this table! The heart was a beautiful touch. So beautiful, I feel like it should have been installed on the top surface.

[@Lutzboater]

The table was amazing but the cinematic effects you use in your edits are pretty incredible also. Pat on the the head to Utz!!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Tom!

[@colinhawkins8265]

Beautiful. The steel "river" is a nice touch. I prefer it to epoxy or even glass. I'm sure your grandfather would be proud!

[@drosmith242]

Utz was amazing. Table is amazing. Inlay is amazing. Amazing work!

[@williamzanghettijr5862]

Well done young man. I must say that you have become one of my most favorite craftsman to follow on youtube. I see that you have amassed quite the collection of hand tools. And what a fantastic idea you had to use your grandpas' belt

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much William. I really appreciate the support and kind words!

[@benstephens2183]

This may be one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. Truly functional art.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thank you so much Ben!!!

[@jamessychak981]

A man's man. Dudes great at everything

[@JimG31547]

What a great table and the heart from your Granddads belt makes it all that much better. Thanks for sharing

[@manchvegasuruguayguy]

Mad Skillz my man! And the ❤️ for Grandpa will make that a family heirloom. Your dog with the epoxy bottle in his mouth was brilliant!! You keep making em, and I’ll keep watching em ! A TRUE craftsman in every stretch of the word .

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks so much Dan!!!

[@ed389]

Dude your video shots and music and close ups are top notch. The table is killer but man the video is top quality.

[@wedo4fun251]

Beautiful table. Great job with the video too. Thanks.

[@TheCentralflorida]

Wow. When you first posted the teasers I thought you meant a steel looking epoxy. You meant actual steel. Incredible. Sharing this for sure.

[@ramonzeira]

Really awesome work. The heart was a very thoughtful touch.

[@joeturner944]

All I can say is WOW. That is one of the coolest tables I have ever seen. Also love how you incorporate video shots of the sponsors products. It's very ingenious! Keep up the good work.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Holy hell that is gorgeous! Great video Chris.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Johnny!!!

[@TheRedhawke]

Amazing piece of Walnut and a very sentimental touch with the leather heart. Nicely done and a work of art sir.

[@LutherBuilds]

Loved this video. Table looks amazing and love the special touch for your family!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I love the look and feel of this project. Being in the steel business I am drawn to the concept. The leather heart is such a beautiful, personal, finishing touch. Great video.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Awesome idea. Love it. Came out looking sweet!

[@jeffreygraham4058]

that turned out so beautiful it's hard for me to come up with the words to explain I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and the heart from the belt is a really sweet idea thanks for the awesome video

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks Jeffery!!!

[@EricRoy85]

This is freaking awesome man!!!! I love the idea and execution. Those bullets in the tree slab are so cool too. Beautiful table! Well done. Thank you for sharing 👍

Thank you for making a video and project inspired by your hero (grandpa) that does mean a lot to me and it a good touch to the tables reason.

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks for the kind words roger

[@Hatchmade]

Definitely one of the more unique river tables I've seen, I like it.

[@keithdavis1807]

Another great project! The inlaid heart was a nice touch that I'm sure your cousin loved.

[@anthonydtobias]

Pure awesomeness. This table is gorgeous! Cool idea on how the bullets made the tablet better by adding a metal river. 👌👍

[@4.0.4]

Hey, the video skills are nice! This is well-recorded and edited. It's a pleasure to watch.

[@HandToolRescue]

Did you allow for steel movement though?...

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Shit! I didn’t! Maybe if I pocket hole screw it together it’ll hold?

[@Loki1620]

@@ThirdCoastCraftsman The sarcasm is strong with you two!

[@MakingAndFixing]

The leather heart was a very nice touch. I'm sure your cousin will love it.

[@ericradermacher3473]

Great tutorial fitting the metal and wood together as well.

[@ckwoodworks9924]

Beautiful table and nice video love the hand plane collection

[@lisaguthrie3604]

The heart was a brilliant, thoughtful part of the build! Great work!

[@sapelesteve]

Amazing combination of both metal & wood working. What a beautiful table! Love the part about your Grandfather & the heart detail, very nice tribute. Utz is one cool canine...... :)

[@dondonaldson1684]

Beautiful work! Utz has a future as System 3's mascot. Such a "ham" !!! Love those eyes as he focused on the shot! :-)

[@RadioactiveOwl1]

Looks great. Nice piece of work. Good job on the video too, some well thought out shots.

[@jeremyshutter6232]

Chris, this table looks amazing! The metal work and wood go together flawlessly. Yet another great project! Keep up the great work brother!

Thanks Jeremy!!

I wish I had a fraction of your talent. Wonderful job.

Beautiful project, editing and background music. I really like the leather heart inlay, very sentimental.

[@laurenvollinger]

Love the personalized touch at the end! Awesome videography!

[@randyrodriguez4643]

What a phenomenal project. Well done, and Utz of course stole the show. :)

[@tooljunkie555]

That's different..liking the metal river look! Nice welder machine!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Thanks brother

[@rootorecreations9844]

Really cool build, Chris. Love the touch of the leather heart underneath. Table turned out incredibly beautiful!

[@jmains]

That is a seriously gorgeous table!

[@jkgkjgkijk]

It's called mill scale! You can remove it with a scuff wheel and solvent. Love this build!!!

[@mattskogen6533]

Chris, what an fresh take on the overdone (often poorly) river table trend. That steel and walnut combo is absolutely stunning! It was also interesting to see some of your background in woodworking as well as your talent with metal. You've clearly been honing those skills over many years and it shows up in the quality of your work. This is the video that finally got me to hit the bell. Keep the good stuff coming :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

Fantastic, the best thing is the little leather heart patch. I loved it!

[@benofalltrades]

Love your work and methodology. Very relaxing and mesmerizing to watch your videos.

[@TaylorHubbell]

Love the Heart/Belt touch. A beautiful build as a result of a great idea and better execution.

[@Bobba_fett]

I could use a whole video on just how to do the flush cut to fit the metal into the wood. Very cool video. This is definetly going on my project list.
