Building a DIY Custom Laser Cut Table

In this video I rework an older table to a DIY table made from marquetry done with a Glowforge Laser Cutter even though I am a beginner woodworker. Building my own custom table for these I wanted a slightly rustic look to the table and to have it be bigger to fit both my machines. Woodworking is a skill I am still working on and this fun woodworking projects was a fun way to learn a new skill I have not done before. DIY projects for woodworking are a great way to make money woodworking and to lean woodworking. Although this isn't a clear cut how to make a table video I think there are plenty of skills to apply to any woodworking project where you don't need a lot of tools. This is a nice hybrid of woodworking art and functionality. As I am still learning if there are any woodworking tips you have make sure to drop them in the comments below, especially for marquetry inlay for beginners. I am sure some people will also argue using a laser cutter is not woodworking but I think it is just another tool for your shop to use.

I love that you didn’t edit out all the ACTUAL teaching moments you covered. Too often I see the videos where nothing bad happens. Nobody is that good. You’re awesome!

[ladydevann]

Wow, I saw your post on reddit and wanted to watch the process. You are AWESOME at breaking down how you did this and the editing and camera work and quality is awesome! can't wait to see what else you create, I've been looking for a DIY channel like this for sooo long!

[tomjjackson]

Don't stop! I noticed you haven't made a video in a month, and I'm telling you, do not stop creating content. This channel has the potential to be something special. I promise if you keep at it, a year from now you'll be making a thank you video, as you hit your millionth subscribers. Whatever that *it* is, this channel has *it.* Keep thr content coming and I promise, this channel will become absolutely massive. All you need is that one video, with a catchy title to generate traffic. If this video were to of been titled *Butcher Block* I bet it would have received 10x the views. I'm in the process of doing a conversion van build. I've viewed alot of content related to it, and it's mind blowing how popular *Van Life* content is. Especially the DIY furniture. Do a diy butcher block table top, or something related to Van furniture; cabinet, table top, folding table, sink, etc. It doesn't have to be in your wheelhouse, but this is fantastic, and I'm absolutely going to attempt something similar. God had this had something like *Van Life* or *Conversion Van Furniture* in the title, it would have received a million views. Good luck man, don't stop!

Width lost by cutting tool is your kerf width. There should be a setting where u can set your laser’s kerf width, then when making cuts you choose: inside cut, outside cut, neutral (on the line). Hopefully that helps you keep these awesome videos coming!

How do you only have 536 subscribers is beyond me. Good job.

Here before this channel reaches millions of subs.
Ty for making video about this art piece, it was really entertaining to watch. I like the idea that this table top can be used as wall decoration, really creative. I can notice how much work you've put into making this video and it really paid off at the end. Video quality, editing, music, explaing you thought process, everything was great I didn't expect such high quality but I was pleasantly surprised. Keep up the good work. I believe that one day you channel becomes big and I wish you best of luck.

8:30, my entire life story into one little sentence 😆. When i saw this community post, I was absolutely amazed by how intricate it looked and I was really anticipating this to come out. I absolutely love these videos! I would honestly buy this if I could.

[kylebell]

Amazing! Love how honest you are going through the process and being transparent with the unforeseen problems/miscues. I think it’s helpful for beginners to recognize that even the most beautiful work like yours usually has a lot of problem solving/impromptu solutions needed along the way. Great editing, too!

[capitalex]

Just went through all your videos, this is definitely a channel worth having notifications for.
