The Ambassadors table, part 3 Final

[@pi1171]

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. 👍

[@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!

[@Mr_Mooo]

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

[@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.

[@markvankoersveld5881]

This was a really interesting build to watch, i really enjoyed it. Those extension slides/runners worked a treat. Pity that first half of the top bowed like it did. Guess that is what happens from time to time with these hardwoods. Also congrats on getting your local timber supplier as a sponsor, this must be a huge help.

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers, this was a fun job. The sponsor thing was put on hold due to covid , and I guess an uncertain cash flow. But might start again.

[@markvankoersveld5881]

@@KingPostTimberWorks Man that's upsetting, well I hope things get better and they can get back to sponsoring you. From what I hear in the news New Zealand seems to have some form of control at the moment. We still expecting the peak here in South Africa.

[@RONAN-BIM]

True craftsmanship! Brilliant 3 part series. The owners are lucky to have this incredible furniture piece

[@kevingerald8286]

Beautiful piece of work - thanks for sharing and inspiring!

[@espnmk]

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

[@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.

[@cobberpete1]

No Words mate 😍. Definitely your most complicated build to date . Shame about the top going pear shaped. And worth a Kings ransom

[@jasonturner1045]

awesome work on all joinery. beautiful table

[@dustyrusty7956]

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

[@acraftman2823]

Great job Joey, its always butt puckering when when the wood gets wacky but the truth is it can usually be traced back to something in the stock prep or material selection it usually happens to me on doors (of course). Flat sawn is especially tricky as you know. Regardless thanks for sharing and may the grain be with you.

[@trishblakely3476]

What a spectacular build, Joey.

[@tonyscerri6039]

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

[@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.

[@robertgoff6479]

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

[@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 🎉🎉🥂👍😊

[@akquicksilver]

Beautiful piece of furniture!

[@richardmiller9154]

The best piece I’ve seen you build. Well done, sir.

[@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

[@clydedecker765]

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

[@lifeanywhere]

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

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@harryparlane]

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

[@petel9242]

Exquisite craftsmanship Joey, I'm in awe!

[@dennisdickson6210]

Really beautiful work Joey.

[@nathansilver9190]

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

[@markfoster8603]

Great piece Joey

[@Thom4123]

Incredible work Joey, the extension leg’s design is awesome with the magnet holds and especially the adjustability nice touch!! Take Care

[@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!

[@The1WARMACHINE]

Top 5 build great work very intricate and detailed

[@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

[@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!

[@geoffhayday6003]

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

[@rafvdp6391]

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

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks !

[@jessjulian9458]

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

[@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.

[@SMee67]

Absolutely epic work, mate 👍🏽 Astonishing craftsmanship 👌🏽

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

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

[@АндрейПрошкин-щ6э]

Высший уровень и отличный формат!

[@a6cjn]

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

[@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.

[@williamsnapp2605]

Beautiful work 👍😍👌

[@julianlech8505]

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

[@samhenderson2947]

That's a great build. Great video series.

[@GeorgeWelman]

Crazy cool table!!!!

[@AndreiIR000]

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

[@stefanobahaw7194]

Something to be really proud about !

[@hungryarch7319]

Great job Joey, as usual.

[@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

[@LostWhits]

The finished product is really beautiful. Clever idea on allowing for a gap in the skirt so the top always finishes flush. How do the legs affect chair placement? And are you designing complimentary chairs?

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

No I'm not doing chairs. I have laid out chairs on my drawings an at a squeeze should be able to get 14.

[@LostWhits]

During my cabinetmaking apprenticeship, the owner of the company was a Chairmaker by trade. Unfortunately he'd retired the year before I started. But he had hundreds of MDF and Masonite templates and jigs up on the walls and on the mezzanines. I was told the templates alone were worth thousands of dollars

[@nicholasphelps7489]

My. God. That is awesome! Very inspiring

[@interiorsmartdesigner]

Good job nics video

[@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

[@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

[@JT-hw6mq]

Amazing! looks awesome.

[@drac08624]

Difficult says the guy who made a wooden bathtub lol. Excellent and beautiful work as always

[@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.

[@tsenjamokhuvung5355]

Awesome carpenter 👍👍

[@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.

[@Kraftmade]

Very nice! You should be really proud of yourself!

[@Pghpete5]

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

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@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

[@johntheloft]

That is one lovely table.

[@mitnoxin]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@williambirdwell1633]

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

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Thanks

[@marwanabutarieh1868]

Great job 👍

[@JT-hw6mq]

Just a suggestion; that oval kingpost logo on your jacket would look great on a baseball cap- velcro in the back for adjustment.

[@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

[@joedabill99]

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

[@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.

[@acraig5075]

Exquisite, an heirloom of the future.

[@algaylifadlallahashim2691]

Amazing work 😍😍😍

[@GrahamOrm]

Did you alternate growth rings?

[@TheWpmerk]

Wowwwww a great Job.

[@gregroberts875]

Beautiful work!!

[@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.....

[@PassionforWoodworking]

Exceptional work thinking through this one. It's a beautiful piece. I have never had the pleasure of building as nice a table as this. It is reminiscent of a colonial era piece of furniture which in my opinion was one of the best era's of craft.

[@TG-ex3oo]

Hey Joey - great work (as always

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Hmmm smart!

[@kevinb2960]

Travail d'exception. Félicitations

[@LouAdzima]

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

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Ah ha , yes good idea !

[@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.

[@guyboucher9727]

Hi Joey. Great build! I’m not sure if you shared this, but can you tell me what is the size of the table? With and without the extension as well, thanks!!

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Its 1050mm wide , 2m long short. And 3.6m long fully extended

[@guyboucher9727]

Wow! That’s a pretty big table!…and super nice! The sliding extensions look pretty cool! Thanks for sharing Joey!

[@HolzandMore]

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.

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

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

[@jonramsey1545]

Incredible work!

[@grahamparsons6620]

What a great build, pain in the butt getting a big banana on one of the panels but we all know timber can have a mind of its own, have a great unavailing I hope it all works out ok because it's a beaut piece of furniture 👍👍👍👍

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Cheers

[@Smudgie33]

Amazing table Joey.

[@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

[@mauromusso9915]

Amazing!! 👍👍👍👍

[@Theonly1ben]

Well done you hit it out of the park

[@dmitriys3983]

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

[@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?

[@danbarrett6113]

super nice Joey.

[@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

[@darkroomgeek5568]

Yes. Rather nice table.

[@markarmstrong2592]

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