Those crossfades between marking and cutting (e.g. at 4:21) are masterful - great editing. You're the Orson Welles of DIY youtube!

Great idea, hope I remember to come back here and watch this again when my 4 month old grandson is of an age to appreciate one 😊

Great for grandkids, certainly the landscape is sort of good and remember they laughed at Picasso in the beginning so maybe it will end up on the Antiques Roadshow one day!

Track saws are great for doing those kind of rips, but when you join the two pieces of track together 3:15, it’s really best to get them straight and aligned by pushing them against a straight edge, eg a spirit level. Just using the jointing bars alone is likely to result in a slight kink in the track

Nice wee keepsake for the grandkids. Take care & stay safe.

I owe you a debt of gratitude for the inspiration. I wish I had your tools, but being 72 years old, those power saws scare the life out of me which is very limiting. I've copied your plans for installing an outside light though. Next summer I will be stealing your plans for garden planters and tables. Thank you so much.

I bought an ikea lack coffee table discounted at $9.99 to hack and do something like this for my son as a play table. Seeing this has given me great ideas for exactly what to do! Thanks for sharing

[harrysudron]

the production quality of these videos is so good with the camera shots, tv standard.

[davyarthurs]

Very impressive Stuart. I have no doubt your play table would be much more solid and better made than something three times the price off the shelf of any well known store!

[garulusglandarius]

I’m going to build a couple of versions of these for my beautiful grandson’s 👍 excellent as always Stuart, thank you 👍👍

My daughter's first birthday is coming up and this has inspired me to build her a toy box with a painted lid for playing on. Brilliant idea

[DMUSA]

I like watching your channel because I can get either other ideas or use some of your techniques for other projects.

[richardphillips]

Absolutely brilliant Stuart! I bet your grandchildren love you. 😊

Hi Stuart, I'm really pleased with the growth this channel has received, I've been a subscriber since very early on when I was researching how to install a washing machine. Please can you make more maintenance videos and how to fix things around the house rather than new build projects. The builds are entertaining of course but I miss the practical advice and the usefulness that the earlier videos had. Thank you 🙂, Sam.

Thanks Stuart, another well thought out and accessible project with some great tips thrown in !

It wouldn't take much to adapt this to be a sand-box table, maybe making the top to fit a plastic garden tray.

[andyrobinson]

Superb job. Nice idea and very, very well executed.

[YesiPleb]

That's a great little project. Just thinking of changing the screws that fix the sides on with bolts and fix threaded inserts into the sides. Means it can be dismantled for storage/transport any time and assembled again without the risk of the screws chewing the wood up each time. I really need to get me a track saw.

[tonysellen]

Just starting out, many thanks for this idea!!

See you soon!

[Quaker]

Great idea Stuart and expertly done. Great video.

[gwarski]

Great video, and something I may well have to attempt for the kids
