Beautiful table great job

[@quasimodoo17]

Aside form the totally annoying background music, a great vid of an absolutely beautiful piece of woodworking.

[@benbirdsill4709]

Beautiful table. Count me in for more Kumiko!

[@JTWoodworks]

Ben Birdsill thanks man!! I'll be working in it soon

[@gatouchstone]

Beautiful build.

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

That is a thing of beauty! Well done Sir!

[@atx_krause1546]

Great build! Thank you for sharing. Would love to see more details about Kumiko and pattern possibilities.

[@JTWoodworks]

Thank you! I'll definitely have a video on that in the future. Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it

[@gazgough9264]

just wow! that is ridiculously good!!

[@JTWoodworks]

GG Woodwork thanks bud :) it was a fun project with a few challenges

[@KnottenWood]

Beautifully done! Love how you used the tapered offcuts like you did, love the pattern it made on the top! Great job!

[@JTWoodworks]

Ian Knottenbelt thanks Ian! I was debating what to do with those off cuts for a while. I thought about some wall art pieces but I think I made the right choice

[@rrrrkoop2776]

Wow !

[@JTWoodworks]

Thanks! It was a fun build

[@jcmakes5977]

Fantastic! What precision in your work

[@JTWoodworks]

JcMakes thanks JC! It's all in the details

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Pretty clever design. Nice work sir

[@JTWoodworks]

Thanks bud!!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Very nice project my friend. I have always loved the Japanese style of woodworking. Thanks for sharing!

[@JTWoodworks]

Felix From Nebraska thank you for watching! It's certainly a pleasing aesthetic

[@FigmentsMade]

This is such a beautiful table. I like your bow jig to get the curves symmetrical. That's a very cool tip. And the pattern you used for the center design is so neat. Getting all those little pieces to fit together with the right angles...wow.

[@JTWoodworks]

Thank you! That jig is something that I threw together solely for this build and it worked wonders. Piecing together that center design is easier that it may seem as long as you have accurate jigs

[@FigmentsMade]

Jigs can be a great thing! I don't use them nearly enough.

[@JTWoodworks]

Figments Made they're great!! The set-up/making time of them definitely makes up in efficiency. Try to incorporate them in your next project

[@godu1111]

Thats one good looking table. Subscribed !

[@montewoods4766]

very nice i need to try this

[@JTWoodworks]

montewoods thanks man!! I'll be happy to help with questions if you give it a go

[@howardhagadorn9443]

I really like this! Using the wedges for the top makes for a very interesting grain pattern on the top. This is the first of your videos I've seen, now I gotta see if you've got anything else I wanna check out

[@JTWoodworks]

Howard Hagadorn thanks man!! I really appreciate it!! I was debating for a while what to do with those wedges. I think I went with the right option. I hope you find some other videos that you enjoy

[@johnproffitt3272]

Nice work!

[@JTWoodworks]

Thanks John!!

[@StudioJLT]

[@JTWoodworks]

StudioJLT thanks man! Welcome!! I'll have more videos soon!!

[@andywyatt701]

Well done....I am a new sub....looking forward to more videos

[@JTWoodworks]

Andy Wyatt thank you Andy! I appreciate it!!

[@phillipyeager3176]

Would have gotten a smoother top finish using jack and smoother planes. Just saying. Nice project.

[@JTWoodworks]

Thank you Phillip. Yes I would have but I don't have a smoother. I used my jack plane for a little bit but I was getting a lot of tear-out because it's in need of a sharpening. Sanding didn't take too long so I continued with that and I'm happy with the results. I still need to sharpen my jack though haha

[@ThaiPham-rq5ko]

You should sharpening your chisels at least #2000 grid

[@JTWoodworks]

Thai Pham they needed a sharpening here but I usually go up to 6000
