Incredible. I am often really impressed with your work but this is beyond everything I've seen before. Beautiful. The customer picked the right guy for the job. 👍

[@Bikeeast]

Absolutely stunning piece. It has to be tough having to build that half of the top a second time, wood will just do what it wants sometimes. It always makes me smile hearing Lee Valley mentioned in faraway places. They are a great Canadian company. I have quite a few of their tools, and I am rarely disappointed.

[@theodoretsinarakis7080]

Congratulations and thank you for this awesome series of videos. Its a joy to watch how you overcame all the difficulties of this marvellous piece of art and craftmanship. And finally that satisfying assembly at 15:09. Showing the details of the connections is an excellent lesson, were we ever able to try a remotely similar project. Also impressed by the quality of the non visible solid oak sliders. Was wondering about the router bit you used at part2 in 3:53. Looking forward to the next video of the final installation!

[@dougguest6454]

I've enjoyed (and learned from) all your builds Joey. This one has pushed you into a whole new level. Just an excellent series. I hope the ambassador is as pleased as any of us mere mortals would be lol.

[@Mr_Mooo]

Such a great build. It is amazing how much wood transitions with just a coat of vanish.

[@kevingerald8286]

Beautiful piece of work - thanks for sharing and inspiring!

[@boncamino5195]

An amazing project to follow Joey. I love the diversity that you have in projects. It shows people that we as woodworkers can do anything we put our minds and talent to 🎉🎉🥂👍😊

[@jasonturner1045]

awesome work on all joinery. beautiful table

[@rwe2156]

Hey Joey one option on that warped top is route a series of grooves on the bottom, overflex just a bit and fill grooves with epoxy. Lots of times the warp also the result of unequal air flow, but you already know that. Appreciate you posting this!

[@edwardquan]

Beautiful work - good job Batman

[@petel9242]

Exquisite craftsmanship Joey, I'm in awe!

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

They picked the right guy for the job, Joey. Masterful.

[@philclennell]

Absolutely lovely job man! Nice to see there's still a place for some mahogany in today's 'let's conserve everything' world. Not even sure we can get that in the UK!

[@akquicksilver]

Beautiful piece of furniture!

[@christopherwischnevsky8562]

A old ship builders trick to take that bow out, Is clamp it down flat and pouring boiling water over the bowed area , leave clamped for a few days to it dries out and the bow shoud come out and hold that way.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Probably would have tried that if it wasn't sealed on both sides.....

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Super build, after all that figuring and stressing . . . now you should get commissions for at least ten, now that you have the system perfected. Cheers.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

That would be nice!

[@tonyscerri6039]

That is a really nice piece of furniture very well built and really thought through in design. A big well done Joey.

[@dustyrusty7956]

The sapwood on the tip of the replaced top half detracts from the overall excellent build.

[@robertgoff6479]

Very nice piece; thanks for explaining your process so well.

[@clydedecker765]

Great Job Joey. Hope the Ambassador appreciates your work as much as I do.

[@mjfister]

You should be delighted - well done! Highlights the difference between what most of us end up doing (casework) vs furniture (which we all secretly hope for big commissions to do). You got one and did it justice... best, Mike

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers, ha yes every now and then you get a really good job. Next 3 jobs .... case work.

[@a6cjn]

Nice work Joey That's a significant piece of New Zealand furniture I hope it gets the recognition it deserves Chris

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

I'm glad you realalise that a handplane is an option

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

I have always used hand planes....

[@LegoMan-cz4mn]

On my school machinery gets all the attention, obviously. But quiet often hand tools are the better option. For example fitting jobs, finishing, flushing, ect. Hand tools are most of the time avoided by the other students

[@korycoster3586]

Great series of videos Joey. Magnets are a nice touch. The extension mech is really neat. Well done all round. Can tell your really happy with it.

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

the mechanics you used as far as extending it is brilliant. very well done

[@harryparlane]

So impressive, great to see such an in depth build.

[@espnmk]

Gorgeous table mate just another brilliant project checked off the list...

[@rafvdp6391]

That is a fantastic result and build. Really enjoyed this series. Greetings all the way from Belgium 👍👌

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks !

[@lifeanywhere]

Fantastic build my friend. Loved watching the process. Clever design on the drop down leg too, by the way.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@nathansilver9190]

Well done Joey, I've learned a lot from this build. Thanks again.

[@marknkatz]

Agree with others that this is one awesome table. I might have tried to make the connections between the leaves (extensions) more uniform (both in pin layout and edge thickness) to allow the client to use 1, 2, 3 or all 4 leaves as needed for the occasion.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

They can do that . It just looks better if the use 1 then 2 then 3 then 4

[@julianlech8505]

Beautifully done. All solid wood. That must be one heavy table.

[@williamsnapp2605]

Beautiful work 👍😍👌

[@rickyblabla2796]

I once left a sheet of birch ply on trestles over a lawn to dry. The moisture rising from the ground, due to the sunny day, caused the sheet to warp. Knowing this I’ve successfully straightened a sheet of ply in the same way! I wonder, if you stripped the finish off the warped table top, that this might have worked for you. Not claiming it would, but maybe! Awesome table.

[@SMee67]

Absolutely epic work, mate 👍🏽 Astonishing craftsmanship 👌🏽

[@АндрейПрошкин-щ6э]

Высший уровень и отличный формат!

[@kevinb2960]

Travail d'exception. Félicitations

[@Marciukasb]

This happened to me when I applied finish to the top side only and left it on a table for a while. The bottom side absorbed more moisture than the top and bowed away from the table. Managed to fix it by turning it the other way and leaving the unfinished side up to breathe better. Flattened almost completely after a while. Maybe that was the case for you too. Cheers

[@geoffhayday6003]

A great piece of work to be proud of, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jessjulian9458]

Love the design. Overall great project. You nailed it. Thanks for sharing your talents.

[@JT-hw6mq]

Amazing! looks awesome.

[@darkroomgeek5568]

Yes. Rather nice table.

[@tsenjamokhuvung5355]

Awesome carpenter 👍👍

[@The1WARMACHINE]

Top 5 build great work very intricate and detailed

[@williambirdwell1633]

joey you always do such a great job, but this one takes the cake. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@dennisdickson6210]

Really beautiful work Joey.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I agree that the short form looks much better and balanced which is often the case with extension tables. The extensions are purely for versatility. 👍

[@DavidRamey]

DAMN fine job. Idea: How about some sort of leaf storage solution that would store and protect.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers, client specifically said they had storage for the leaves so need to accommodate

[@rodgreen7743]

Well done, really like the slides. I saw you are using Robertson screws, Canada says “You are welcome.”

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Yup , NZ has been all square drive for like 10 years plus

[@samhenderson2947]

That's a great build. Great video series.

[@jomangeee9180]

Interesting, I've notice an affinity for lighter colored furniture down under, we tend to prefer darker colors in the US! I think it is something of an acquired taste. Also we like our tables a little wider, I guess we are fatter and have bigger plates, lol. But seriously that must be some house to have room for a 4 leave table. As always enjoyed your work, love it.

[@johntheloft]

That is one lovely table.

[@TheWpmerk]

Wowwwww a great Job.

[@mitnoxin]

Awesome stuff. Someone is going to be very happy with that!

[@danbarrett6113]

super nice Joey.

[@caseyconner89]

Wow Joey you've really outdone yourself. Amazing work. What model of sprayer did you use for the finish?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers, it's a Graco ultra.

[@ParveenCarpenterBouncer]

Good job nics video

[@benwhite69]

Fantastic work Joey, I bet it wasn't a cheap commission but worth every penny. Only wish you had time to post more videos.

[@nicholasphelps7489]

My. God. That is awesome! Very inspiring

[@Pghpete5]

This was a stunning project! Thank you for sharing this amazing job.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@jamiedaly1st]

Nice piece of furniture

[@sephalon1]

Joey, this is literally a masterpiece.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thank you!

[@Smudgie33]

Amazing table Joey.

[@joedabill99]

That is beautiful! You have a fan in Arizona USA.

[@raaah]

Not a fan of that type of table but you made it work

[@Theonly1ben]

Well done you hit it out of the park

[@drmkiwi]

Congratulations it looks absolutely stunning. The next one will be easy! The only thing that seemed a little strange to me was using those tiny brass pins for alignment. Why not have nice looking timber tenons and use the domino to cut the mortises with custom made tenons in mahogany? Cheers, David

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

I did think that, but wanted to bring a little more brass into the table to go with the feet. Cheers David

[@jonramsey1545]

Incredible work!

[@markarmstrong2592]

Awesome job Joey a very difficult job turned out Awesome again lol

[@lindsayriddick170]

Hello Joey, fantastic job. Initially I was surprised to see you use Gorilla glue for the bent lamination, I have use PVA in similar circumstances but got thinking. Does the greater rigidity/brittleness of the polyurethane glue help with the rigidity of the completed lamination?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

I find the polyurethane glue has a stronger bond than pva. I think pva would have worked too. Just covering my bases really

[@xw6968]

Very nice.

[@mauromusso9915]

Amazing!! 👍👍👍👍

[@GrahamOrm]

Did you alternate growth rings?

[@RobinLewisMakes]

What was the reason for spraying the finish instead of rolling like you normally do?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Just to get it dead flat, you can get little bumbs and waves in the clear with rollers and pads. Which I didn't want for this caliber table.

[@rudolfzaris675]

Hi, you should try to put some stain on the bottom side. It could end up straight by itself :-) :-)

[@jamesjames_07]

Really really really stunning. I can never get enough of your videos and craftsmanship. Was that a polyurethane glue used to laminate the curved skirts?

[@nixmenix]

you did a realy good job can you tell us how big the table is and by how much you can extand it?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Its 2m long in short position and extends 1.6m to 3.6m total.

[@donfinch862]

Awesome. Congrats on breaking 200k subbies

[@frankprendergast3614]

Many thing I could comment on mostly positive I would have reversed the hinge leg putting the magnet on the underside of table and worked in a round steel bottom to the octagon leg that way it would lock at any position You got great hands Thanks for some time well spent Frank P Neoform.ca

[@rgreenjw]

Hey Joey. I'm a big fan of your channel and always look forward to your videos. Any chance you could discuss how you go about pricing your work. I seem to struggle with charging what I feel is a fair price for my work.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

I actually wrote an article about this . Its available on my website shop (from a PC) called the business of woodworking

[@MrJasoon13]

Awesome

[@undhagi1835]

Technical thats not easy to build bro.. Lot of problem on built it..at least it become masterpiece bro.. Tumbs up👍👍👍

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@andreasvogt8436]

Realy an amazing work! I like this very much. But a little bit I wonder why don't you pickling the excerpt mechanics in the color of the table.

[@ffsneednamealltaken]

Impressive

[@belneste]

Wow, nice. You can also just put 2 extensions in (instead of al four) :-)

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

That's right depends on the party size.

[@rongoldberg8174]

Great channel. Ow come you se ch narrow blade on bandsaw when resawin?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Ah yes, too lazy to change. Plus that wee blade was cutting really well.

[@vandammethierry]

super classe

[@accountshanahan]

Thst's awsome, well done

[@TonyT-lo2sz]

Did you ever video your completion of your home. If I missed it. Can go back and find it. The table is awesome.

[@AndreiIR000]

Anyone knows what tool (and where it could be bought?) at 06:06?

[@wairarapahandyman]

Tēnā koe - Totally awesome work, I doff my hat to you, sir. If you would provide details (links) of the tool belt you wear and the battery sprayer, I would be grateful.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Doff excepted... my belt is a prototype possibly going into production but it's not my business etc. The sprayer is a Graco ultra. Cheers

[@bollox57]

Boards to wide to stat with.....

[@SuppenHahnBier]

Really nice hardware to connect the different parts of the table. Do you have a link to the source or the name of the company?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

That all came from Rockler

[@JulianFoley]

Superb!

[@stephenhardman344]

Wow!

[@LouAdzima]

Nice work Joey, how about a wakeboard from the bowed top?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Ah ha , yes good idea !

[@jerryjohns7358]

Could you have sawed the curved section apart at each board joint and squared the boards and glue it back together?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

So yes and no. Yes I could have but it would no longer be the same size or thickness as the other half.

[@davecoleuk]

Beautiful build, really great to see. What do you call the brass catches that you use between the sections? I've been looking for something that nice for a while

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

They are table pins. I got these ones from rockler for like $10

[@dmitriys3983]

Great looking table. What did you use for clear coat ?

[@matthewlorfeld5412]

Major bummer about the bow. Any ideas as to why that happened? It would have been really nice to have matching grain from one side to the other.

[@samhenderson2947]

Errant sunbeam?

[@16jocko]

Moisture, too much or too little.
