Table Top Troubles- Plan it right the first time

[@tedsobocienski787]

I'd pick item #3. This is very interesting to see the problems that come up and the process of figuring out what to do.

[@charlesmcadory8286]

No problem with the long version. Seeing how a craftsman solves issues in itself is a great learning experience. Good luck with build.

[@BenChnobli]

I'd love to see it all. Long form, maybe broken down into two or three shorter videos; so you'd have more time to edit? Happy New Year!

[@deanm5325]

I second this idea!!

[@Realism91]

Third

[@paytonjohnson660]

#3 is a good option. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@wb_finewoodworking]

That’s a great solution to your problem Chad. Fortunately I’ve rarely run into stock that moved that much. As for the video on the table build Option #3 sounds the best to me. Seeing how you handle specific parts of their build that may be a little “tricky” or different sounds great. I always enjoy watching your solutions to specific parts dod a woodworking project.

[@brianvermilye8879]

I would love to see the long version. Could you do it in two videos

[@jpmack77]

This a build like this, I'd love to see the long version.

[@cdw143]

I'm definitely in camp 3, I always appreciate seeing different ways to approach challenges.

[@ruskibear99299]

I know I would love the long version. Love your work!

[@1jlquinn]

I would be very interested in watching the long version.

[@PCJ52]

I vote for #3. Love your work.

[@joergsrom6221]

Thank you Chad for the Christmas video. A good solution you presented. Yes, many forget that wood is a living stuff and that we need to design for the worst case of use. Great.

[@saulpenilla778]

Hi Chad I vote for the second option. Thanks for your great videos and great pointers. Love them

[@bobs_ya_runkle]

Long version for me! Thanks Chad.

[@ericpedercini]

Either way!!!!! Thank you so much

[@patrickdukeshire3562]

Long video sounds good. Thank you for your videos.

[@by-fate-but-by-choice]

Long version. Really appreciate seeing your woek!

[@jamesfilson7258]

I'd like to see the long version. I've had similar issues with projects in the past and really would love the chance to see the steps you take to fix this.

[@franckblanchard5637]

A long version will be very interesting.

[@Beavervalleywoodwork]

I think the best way is to divide the video by what part of the table you are doing. 1st video can be in depth information about table legs, aprons, and stretchers. Any problems you faced and how you fixed it. 2nd video can be table top. In depth on how you made the table top, how to allow for wood movement. What options out there and explain why you went with option. How you fasten the table top to the aprons allow for wood movement. Video 3 can be wood finished. What you go with and why. What techniques problems how you fix it. What grit of sand paper you sand the wood to before you add a finished. Your very smart woodworker full of knowledge that can help out a lot of other woodworkers, including myself. By breaking up the videos will help the woodworker focus on that part of the project they are working on. They will not have to fast forward through other parts of the video, just to get to one part. Happy New Year Chad and hopefully 2021 will be better than 2020.

[@charlesholland6851]

I build tables. I’d love to see any video you make. I miss your videos!

[@chashint1]

Thanks for the video. I watched it on the ROKU KZbin app when it was first published. You do nice work.

[@gdreilly]

I like the detailed one you show. The long version would be 👍

[@crystalacofficial]

Always awesome watching your work. But option C of pulling out highlights that I can refer back to quickly would be awesome.

[@williamellis8993]

Interesting problem, Chad. How about ripping the boards into 1-3/4 wide strips and laminating them? I'd like to see the full build in several episodes. Happy New Year. Bill

[@tonylenge424]

That was very interesting on how you walked us through your problem solving thought process. I like option 3 but also don’t mind long videos . I like details and learning. Thanks

[@howardaappel194]

Thanks, and a happy and safe holidays to you and yours.

[@jimpalmer1944]

I vote for the third option. However, I would like to see the process in its entirety if that is what you decide to do. Maybe, you should offer both.

[@halsonger1317]

I like option 3 where you address design steps and how to deal with challenges you came across.

[@nicholasbrokling1508]

Having made tables for myself only I would love long version. Cheers from Australia

[@ChadStanton]

Where about in Australia? My sister lives in Perth and my sister in law lives in Sydney.

[@nicholasbrokling1508]

@@ChadStanton Chad, I live in outback far north west Queensland a long way from Perth and Sydney. I love your skills and dedication.

[@dougveganparadisebuilder5808]

Make a short video series. You've been generous enough to honor our request to film the making of the table already.

[@chipperkeithmgb]

Long is good

[@Thom4123]

Option 3. Hope you had a awesome holidays. Take Care

[@scottbrader-kd9vyy225]

Thanks, Chad! I prefer the third option. You have other great videos showing the basic techniques that you can refer to throughout the new video. The new one can just provide the overview with details on the particularly difficult or unique techniques. Have a Happy New Year!

[@thewoodchop6873]

Hi Chad. Happy holidays! Nice problem solving video! The 10minute running time flew so fast. I'd vote for the 3rd option you presented. Cant wait to see the table build. The miniture is already looking awesome. Stay safe in the shop! Thanks.

[@bobh64]

Keep it simple. I like the formats where you have a problem and you come up with the solution episodes. Later you can make a "deluxe" video when you complete it with closing comments. But thats just my opinion. Keep up with the "honest" videos.

[@LudoBebjak]

I am voting for option 3. Thank you!

[@jamesrawlings8493]

Option 3 would be the most helpful in my opinion. If you do publish option #, please include chart of steps at which times. Thank you

[@garybalcom8234]

Chad I would love to see the whole thing but in 2 or 3 segments thank you for asking our opinion.

[@eulogiogarcia8689]

Long version would be great.

[@didz2064]

I don't mind the long version since I'm here to learn.

[@mikekernjr5121]

I’d prefer #3 but will watch whatever you post.

[@Christopher-pf8qt]

Long version please.

[@shopguy5886]

I vote for option #3.

[@laroseauxboisrosewoodwoodw8585]

I would go with the 3rd option ! It would cover all the good stuff 😁👍🏼🇨🇦

[@masterfranco1991]

go with the full long version!

[@TaylerMade]

as a teaching tool, i think that a video explaining each step in the process, minus the actual doing of cutting milling etc, would be of value and also help to keep the time to a minimum. this would in my opinion be far more interesting to watch as well.

[@MarkMcCluney]

Hi Chad, hope you're having a good Christmas break. Whatever you make, I'll watch. The smorgasbord of interesting points sounds like the best video but takes a lot of editing time. A hour long vid may not be as silly as it sounds - the mechanical guy Mustie1 makes hour long, hour and a half all the time. His editing is minimal and he gets a lot of views. Well, it's just a thought. Thanks again mate.

[@dalebennett8169]

Chad, I am building my niece a dress draw. It has four draws in it, they are 28.375 wide and 20 deep and 7 tall. I tried to build out pine, everyone I build they twisted. So I build out of cabinet grade plywood, that work and dress the edges with hard wood. Go with number three.

[@danielsullivan3339]

As a self taught woodworker who is a bit more of a widdler than anything else I’d like to see the long form process in full.

[@NBGTFO]

First option: fast video with good explanations of each step.

[@raid7866able]

I wouldn't mind the long version personally. But, then again, I don't need tutorial on the basic functions. So I think the third option is best. Gloss over the boring basics and touch on the more advanced problems and techniques.

[@questionchu]

Fantastic!!

[@markschneider1366]

I vote for option #3 . Could you also use like - 3 , C - Chanel metal cross braces to hold the table top flat ? They would allow for movement , eliminate the bread board ends maintaining a straight board look . Just an idea for thought .

[@ChadStanton]

Very interesting comment. I see what you are saying. That's why I love comments because we all can learn something

[@markschneider1366]

@@ChadStanton Thanks ! I saw it on a epoxy river table build . It would cost a little more , but that would be up to the customer . Either way I really like your video ! Thank you .

[@zafarsyed6437]

Combo of options 1 & 3 ??

[@nobuckle40]

You know, as you mentioned the the 3 different filming methods I thought about the client. What would the client like to see if they wanted to watch? Do they know that parts of their project build are being filmed and posted on You Tube? Would they want to see the long or short version? I would be inclined to discuss it with them before going any further.

[@jonathanhowe42]

I don't mind the long form, either, but if that is a bit much (especially given your time constraints), something between a "fast" build (with voice-over) & then a "slow down" with the key points would be good. This seems like the way Jay Bates has done a number of his build videos (though the filming yourself talking about what your self on the other side of the screen is doing isn't required ;) ). Thanks for sharing how you've overcome all these obstacles. Makes me feel better about the corners I've painted myself into :) .

[@carpepesci]

While I'd love to see the long form, option 3 would keep it accessible to a wider audience and everyone could benefit from a little more Chad.

[@ninguemvj]

I'd go for the long version.

[@manuelalves4350]

Make the long one. The ones who love speed videos can watch ikea building furniture

[@NewBeginningNewCreation]

I'd say make a video using something like your model so it doesn't have to take so long but you can explain everything in great detail

[@cobberpete1]

Wow, you don't make life easy for yourself LOL. I'm torn as to which way to go. First choice is Op 3. Just the fiddly bits. I'm experience enough to be able to do the basic stuff and learn from finding solutions. If you go with the long version, then break it down to a 2-3 episodes. Happy New Year Chad, we'll see you on the other side.

[@ChadStanton]

I hope to visit as soon as this vaccine is available.

[@markbongers9641]

would prefer option 3.

[@shmueledri7790]

Do the number 3 option for the good of everyone and put on your website the long version at a minimal cost so who ever wish to see all will have the opportunity to do so...

[@TankGunner84]

How about option 4, do a long form video but but release it in a 3 or 4 part series and if you wanted you could sell the long form on dvd with plans to patrons or something. I think some people out there may want to build a table like this so that option would be available. We all would win!

[@PatCavanaugh1]

I vote #3.

[@TonatiuhMellado]

Hi Chad¡, please, the long version :)

[@gregdarbonne8137]

Long version would be great but that may cost you too much (in time specifically), so just the highlights are good.

[@neighdolfhorstler3158]

The long version will only appeal to the hardcores and will limit your views and exposure. I suggest doing the project in parts to maximize views and distribute content over a longer period, thus enticing more subscribers and building anticipation.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi chad, I know it is going to be a long video but I for one would like to go for option two. I would not care how long it is, but if it is very long why not cut it into sections, that way I get the full build and others who might not care for such a long vide would get their choice as well

[@BobDaniel]

Longer the better. I got nowhere to go...

[@richardnelesen3020]

Choice 3. I like the idea of 2 but know I would start fast forwarding and miss a key point.

[@Ashdad99]

Longer is better. Teach us obie one teach us to use the force. And more content is always good if your truly wanting to learn.

[@johnkaczynski8719]

Would still watch the longer one if you go with #2 , but #3 may make more sense for the others that view the channel . Or you can make the long video but broke up in parts that would allow for multiple shorter videos. Either way we will still watch and learn .

[@RafaelHe]

Were your boards quarter or flat sawn? If the former, expansion would be less and your first design, frame and panel, may have worked. Remember that the panel floats within the frame to allow for expansion. This is a tried and true solution, commonly found in classic Chinese tables, no glue or nails required.

[@useyourmind4405]

Option 3 is the best. We've all seen people planing wood enough times. If someone doesn't know how to square boards by this point, they shouldn't be making a table. Techniques and moves that you assume we would know just skip! Chisiling is another example. Don't need to see that. Just need to see the frustrations you have so we can relate!

[@danielelse3914]

If the whole purpose is to make us better woodworkers, what better way than to follow every boring, bloody step? It's how we all work our own projects, and your minor missteps could save us from repeating them. Go for the hour!

[@joeobrien196]

Give us the long version and we can fast forward through the parts not relevant to us. Different people will be interested in different parts of the video.

[@shockdocracing]

#3 around 30 min +/- would be ideal for my attention span. Lol
