Wow. I've watched you since the typewriter video. My wife has watched Jenna for a very long time. I introduced my wife to you a while ago and I watched Jenna with my wife for a year. The audible gasp in our house when you said "This is Jenna Phipps"

This is kinda awesome.

It’s beautiful! You did a great job replicating the inspiration photo and improving it!

Be careful with exterior grade stuff. Exterior grade paints and finishes are allowed to off-gas more harmful gasses while interior grade ones are not. Using exterior paint and finished inside can be a recipe for future health disasters. Please do some deep research before using exterior finishes indoors.

Been following your journey for a while. I'll only speak for myself here, but I'm happy to see you doing more wood work. Welcome back.

Awesome job, love these reclaimed wood videos. So glad you've brought them back man. The tables came out amazing.

I've been following Jenna basically from exactly when she started on the house, and you for much longer. I was SO excited to see her in your video!!

Years ago I bought a huge trailer load of old boards salvaged from a barn tear down that has been setting outside for awhile. I think I paid $30 for the whole thing. One other person at the auction chastised me for wasting my money on stuff unfit to even be firewood. I found that once it was cleaned and planed it was beautiful oak with some character. The furniture I've made has been beautiful! Not bad for a pile of worthless scrap wood.😊

Old growth doug fir never disappoints. Glad you've been able to get back into woodworking again. Wonderful, all the way around.

Been watching so many of your videos since I got into 3d printing about 2 months ago. Didn't realize your name was Morley until a few days ago. I live in the tiny Michigan town of Morley. You should visit the town some time, not that there's much to do, but it would be a silly little adventure!

Just found this page....glad I did. If you're ever building a table like that again another way to get all of the legs into the same plane is to put the table onto your table saw or other flat surface, shim it up so that it's level and then take a pencil on the flat surface and drag mark it all around the bottoms of the legs. Then, you cut to the pencil line either by hand or with a powersaw of some kind. If you want to get really fancy, attach a razor blade from a utility knife to a 1/4 inch piece of scrap and make the marks around the legs that way. Happy making!

OMG TWO OF MY FAVORITE YOUTUBERS TO WATCH RN Yay Morley and Jenna!!! :D

[justlovely]

I love Jenna she is hilarious. I’m glad you found her and made use of the old wood from her house.

[armerls]

I love Jenna and was upset to see so much good wood go to waste. What an awesome collab!

[josephhwang]

Pretty spot on work. Again. So happy to see woodworking videos

[Hedges_Woodcraft]

This is the first time YouTube has introduced you to me. Fantastic work! I wish people would see things like the Festool as an aspirational tool rather than an unattainable tool.

I don’t have one, but I will. I don’t have a pneumatic sander either… but I will.

I’m looking forward to pouring through your other videos.

I see a lot of people saying "you call this high end" and things like "its more useful for firewood than this garbage"
Don't listen to them. I think the dumbest comment I saw was about giving it to someone "more skilled" than yourself. This is your work, and you'll get better the more you work on it. These are your projects to complete, and you're learning. Great job

7:39 is why I barely ever use my Domino and favour the Dowelmax. The Domino shifts so easily during a cut taking things out of alignment. In this clip here you can see the back edge of the face plate lift off the work as you plunge in

[jimrosson]

Glad to see you back making. You nailed the design the tables look great. My vote is for a kitchen table for the beams you have left .

[acbolen]

Morley! The talent that you’ve been gifted is absolutely amazing. I love your videos more than anything. You are the one channel that I follow that I constantly look for a new upload. Incredible work!

[shadeofsound]

I'm so jealous of being able to work with that quality of old-growth wood.
