Love this video. No table saw, no planner, no joiner; most of us don't own these tools, yet you managed to make this table in creative, accessible ways for the rest of us. I am inspired and encouraged to recreate this. Thank you for this video.

Gaps in the boards, left glue squeeze out on the bottom of the top when applying finishing, the plinth is wonky and too many sanding marks. Its a nice looking table but if you took more time it would be an amazing looking table. Dont mean to sound rude but I took a lot of constructive criticism when I first started which tought me a lot. You are on the right track though buddy.

Love high in stores but, hate their prices so I’m definitely trying this. Thanks for sharing 😊

You should be proud of the job you did making and finishing this wonderful table!!

Love this video! You should include RH coffee table build or something similar in the title so it can be found more easily though.

I can see your channel taking off. Keep it up. I look forward to seeing more videos!

Hey Brother. Those Triangular off-cuts make great corner braces for baskets and crates. Just say'n.😎
oh....so, that's what I get for leaving a comment 'before' the video is over.

Great job on the video Brother. And the table is beautiful. Pine and Cedar are among my favorite media to work with. I have access to a broad selection of pallets and shipping crates at work, and can get them for free. Breaking them down for use is another story, but if I was gonna be sitting around, waiting to go to work, not doing anything productive when it's pretty outside, then at least I'm moving and accomplishing something.😎 Keep it up dude. About time for another build, isn't it.?🤓🤠

I think, at least to 90% of those who'll see this will surely mistake it for walnut, which is we want anyways. Great job. Also, I want to commend you for making use of the tools you have. The Miter Saw may not be 'the-best-choice' for a few of the cuts you made, but I'm all about using 'what-you-have' inspite of what you 'would-rather-have'.
I have an old Skil 12.5Amp Circular Saw that I also mount upside down for use as a table saw.

Awesome video. I’m going to try to recreate this as well, RH is so expensive. Keep up the good work!

Great tutorial on sanding, staining, and finishing! For anyone interested in custom made coffee tables, Chucks Woodbarn LLC is a fantastic resource. They create some beautiful pieces that might inspire your next project!

Cool piece. To get more of an RH dup feel distress the piece and look up some staining techniques to get the look.

watching bro do a rip cut on a miter saw was terrifying

[dianebrata]

Cool video, I’ve been trying to get into furniture making as well!

I'm glad to be your 1k subscriber.

Can you make a video about cleanup after staining. I'm so intimidated by staining because of thw risk of the brushes and rags spontaneously catching fire, id love to see a video about the proper but accessible ways of cleaning.

Ligthtly Shou Sugi Ban. it will turn out better.

[johnstevener]

That background music is pretty irritating
