When I have a lot of area to cover glue with I use a small paint roller and painter tray. I use a small only because iv never needed a regular size ones coverage and it’s easier to store the small one. I just put the tray and roller in a plastic bag and seal it tight. (Get a much are out as possible then twist the bag a few time and tuck under to keep from untwisting) learned this when I worked at a engineered hardwood flooring company. Works great to take some the of “time” stress out of glue ups 👍🏻

Just watched your video on the coffee table. Being a retired carpenter/millwright -- I must say you are awesome...Very nice presentation and beautiful craftsmanship.

Great video and a beautiful piece! I knew you wouldn’t regret getting a thickness sander👍

[christines]

Great build, Zac! Beautiful coffee table. Love the design. I'm jealous of that drum sander! Can't wait to check out your next build. 👍

Looks awesome, can’t wait to see your shop completely set up either. Keep it up man!

A while ago you said that you weren’t comfortable in front of the camera. Well, you’ve come a long way in a very short time. Another excellent video - and I’m not just saying that because I won the cutting board/serving tray - I mean it! This video was soooo well done! You are a natural and funny too! Not to mention a great woodworker with a beautiful final project to show for it! Keep at it and I’ll keep watching!

Love the vids, do you know what would be sick . That pixelated look with epoxy instead, blue or black ... Thats the kind of look I want for a computer desk, possibly with diffused leds glowing through.

Sick builds zac

Great video! You do well in front of the camera even a little bit of acting! Your editing is perfect. Won’t be long before your channel takes off if you keep producing like this! 🔥 💯

Super video again....👍 instructions are great and man is that table freakin gorgeous or what? 😀

Nice Video Zac! The old coffee table looks great too, sell it or put it in a furniture consignment shop! Its worth a pretty penny, don't sell it too cheap!

Hope you get more subscribers! You definitely deserve more. Keep up the good work!

Great video Zac! That B-Roll intro tho! 🙌

him saying he was going to use the drum sander on all his other projects turned out to be true.👍😀

That looks like an awesome table :) good work. Also if you keep explaining stuff that makes it simple and easier to woodwork that’d be awesome. My favourite part of watching your videos is how much fun you have but also learning. So I noticed you put a piece of wood and clamped it to your straight edge of your table to make sure your legs went on straight. If you help explain that, or other little things you do like that, that’d be awesome. Also have you ever done the pencil trick for sanding? (You scribble a light pencil mark over the wood and sand it off so you don’t lose track of where you sanded and go over the same spot 40 times like I used to) anyways rockin video. Great work and keep posting your videos on reddit. I love seeing a familiar face when I click on those videos :)

Awesome table. The idea of combining live edge with the butcher block style looks really good. Finish is awesome too. One question: I noticed you only clamped along the width and not along the length, why? Thanks

[ElliottRodgers]

Love the table, I'd buy it if I had the space and money.

wonder what it'd look like made out of several different woods.

[arjona]

Im here, lol I just started watching today

[garydawson]

Maybe I missed it, but did you add glue to the ends of each of those pieces that were glued up?

You remind me so much of Peter McKinnon.
