Walnut End Table (hand tools only build)

I used to do a lot of hand tool work, but other than one project last year, I haven’t gone old school in a while. So, I decided to build this simple walnut end table the old fashioned way.

I appreciate you showing the flaws and that none of them really mattered at the end.

I really enjoyed that. I would have preferred a walnut knob. There's a saying, "Black and brown is a fashion no-no."

Beautiful!

Not sure if I’m more jealous of your skills or your tools.

Heirloom quality! What's really cool is if that gets handed down a few generations, there may be a few men standing around looking at it saying "they just don't make things like that anymore. It all comes pre-fab from a big box store." Hopefully someday people will comment on it being a nice antique piece! Pretty cool!

THIS IS HOW woodwork should be done :) Proper sculpting and skill :)

Love this! Love the imperfect joinery, too! Because I have started getting into hand woodworking and my joinery is not perfect, and it works great anyway! Way better than screws and nail guns.

Looks great, I admire your persistence to do it all with hand tools, including ripping the boards. Try dovetails next time, no more difficult than your half blind box joints, and much stronger and nicer looking. Lovely wood, by the way.

Nice job you should make a long grain shooting bord it works great on those tapered legs

[rossanctuary]

Them joints actually look pretty nice man!

Beautiful. I don't have the patience to make full pieces without the use of power tools ha ha.

That was a joy to watch. A very handsome table. Thanx.

Mate, the small bit of scrap under the end of the leg whilst in the vice - blew my mind!
Much appreciated.
Great video also 👌

Came to the comments just to see how many “experts” were freaking out over the ruler trick on a chisel. Nice work mate!

[Afro]

Very nicely done! 👍👏 My ability to cut in a straight line leaves a LOT to be desired! 🤣😏

Beautiful build, the liner for the bottom of the drawer was a nice touch.

an artist makes a piece of art, , , with no power tools, , when the energy cost is higher now, you can survive and still can create something, thumbs up

[johnnymackay]

I'd say they're still pretty sharp dude! Excellent work. Johnny

Brother, this is outstanding. Exceptional work!

Very nice. Egg brace and crank. Egg is good for the tight spots. Enough clamps, quite the collection but never enough, eh? Thanks for the video.
