@@dlevi67 Thank you for this fantastic recommendation. I absolutely adore the octo-legged consoles and tables, especially the pale finished ones. I will certainly adopt some of their design elements but with more subdued inlays and embellishments in my next build.

That's one of the most beautiful tables I've ever seen and thanks to the magic hands and tender care of Mr. Thomas, it will be going strong for another couple hundred years. The "Uh oh!" made me wonder if you had an accident and ruined a piece, but of course, we know that can't happen!😄

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! The uh-oh was a bit of a let down!

[@groreistad5234]

Apart from your obvious skill and craftsmanship I do so admire the love and attention you give to every little detail. It must have taken forever polishing all those nooks and crannies on the base. I made a similar remark in another video, and you just said “I don’t mind “. And that’s exactly why you’re so good. You really don’t mind doing what to the rest of us would be tedious and boring. Also, you have spoiled us so much lately, so that a 25 minute video seems short. Not complaining, though. Oh, and one more thing, please don’t ever write “Uh-oh” in the title again. You nearly gave us all a heart attack 😱

[@johnsonrestoration]

Thanks! I realize that now. We’ll be more careful going forward

When I saw the video this morning it felt like unexpectedly running into an old friend. Best site on KZbin. The old carpenters I knew back in the 50s would have wrapped the dowel ends in those columns with a length of twine run through a candle stub. Less than glue, more than nothing. Here in Vermont the weather's changing - can feel fall coming.

Not only the amount of dedication to make the videos themselves but to put out the information for free is incredible and is of serious value for those of us that may or may not know what they're doing. I myself have done several pieces over the years and came out when I consider well however I have learned so much from Tom that it is incredible. I can't thank him enough for his patience his perfectionism and his diligence but most of all his generosity. His knowledge to me is priceless.

You had me in suspense the entire time waiting for the Uh-Oh. I was expecting it when you were tightening the bolt and again when you were carrying the top to the base. Glad it never came! Side note; the term, “you can never have too many clamps” doesn’t apply to you. You always have just the number of clamps needed for the job. Always admire your creative clamping!

[@gav2759]

You're right Bill. Inadequate clamping is invariably the downfall of the have a go, home effort. A professional job will cost far more, if it the restorer has to dismantle and pick the glue off a failed repair.

Oh my I could not agree with you more! I adored my grandma who passed just before she would of been 102! She lived in her own home til 100. I always stopped by as she lived across from the grade school my siblings and I went to and my daughter went to. My two kids are 8 years apart and both have a serious respect for the elder population. I adored my neighbor who we both had sheep! She was my mother’s home ec teacher and mine and my sister’s she was amazing in the kitchen and my pies show it! Her husband was my best friends bus driver and her mother had lived across the street when we lived in town growing up. We actually had a lot of elderly neighbors. Their stories were always something I looked forward to! My daughter cares for the elderly, she has always loved them and they love her. You comment is spot on. ❤️

hickorygolddoc 100% yes. I love listening to the stories and try and absorb as much of the sage advice as is possible! I was raised to shovel the elderly widows walkway and drive before tending your own. Make sure to bring over a good meal and baked goods on occasion. Invite them over for dinner, tea, or just a visit. I've always been more blessed by doing these things than I've ever been able to give. When I was a teenager our class was instructed to write an essay on our heroes, my classmates chose hockey greats, presidents, Hollywood stars, I chose my amazing grandfather. Decades later when he passed away my mom read that essay at his funeral. He truly was my hero and listened to his war stories, hunting adventures and bible stories where one of the greatest treasures of my life ❤️❤️❤️ I had a great aunt who lived to 104. Amazing!!! She always had lemon drops for us when we visited and listened to her stories❤️ thank you for sharing your story!

Tom - was “uh-oh” in regards to the plate being misaligned? You’re such a craftsman! Almost anyone would say “uh-oh” when they cracked the top by dropping it, or lost a crucial piece of hardware. You are so good at your job that a misalignment, that you noticed and fixed immediately, is unexpected and warrants an “uh-oh”. The table looks pretty good. 😁 Regards, and much respect.

I really liked the disassembly and close look at the short dovetail as an explanation as to why the table was so loose. The cover to hide the bolt head and threaded finial to hide the bottom threads of the bolt showed real class in the construction. My dad used to say, "Anyone can make something, but it takes a real craftsman to tear it back apart." He would usually say this as we had to disassemble something because we didn't put it together to his satisfaction.

[@dlevi67]

And the sign of the true genius is having to disassemble everything again because you forgot something that had to go 'in' at step 2 in the assembly. Or at least, that's what I keep telling _myself_

You can easily get them by googling "ink cartridge syringes" or "vaping syringes". They come with blunt needles and aren't subject to sale restrictions as sometimes hypodermic syringes are. This said, if you want the sharp needles (which are useful in some cases to get under thin veneers), they are also available online through eBay, Aliexpress, Banggood or the unmentionable rainforest.
