I love watching your videos, Paul. You make some beautiful furniture!
Quality of your work is amazing!!!
You've done a nice job. Tasmanian oak is one of the most beautiful timbers I came around (at least to me)
Very nice table! Hope to see more additions to your furniture.
Great job love the table simple farm style will last forever.
I really like how you talk about your mistakes. Sometimes we learn best by making mistakes.
Brian Donahue Haha, thanks. The mistakes were 'cut' (and put into a different video) simply because the video was too long. And I certainly know that when I do something wrong I learn much much quicker - how I recover from the mistakes the next time is how I gauge how my skills are growing :)
Hey Paul nice job mate. I am no wood expert but watching this video give me inspiration to have a go at doing a table of my own. Buy the way good to see Aussie woodworkers we certainly have some highly talented craftsman down under. Keep up the good work mate.
Great looking table. Excellent job!
CMR Woodworks | Chris McDowell Thanks!
Paul Jenkins Exceptional table build. Looks great!
that's a beautiful table. great work.
Thanks for the upload. Great to see a local boy on you tube using Melbourne suppliers.
Great job, looks very nice.
great work paul
Beautiful table
Awesome table
really great table. thanks for sharing :)
Looks great
Nice work! Do you glue up right after making cuts with your table saw or do you have to plan those sides before glue?
Beautiful table, Paul, well done!
i realize it is quite off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Calvin Tobias flixportal :D
@Dallas Oscar thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
@Calvin Tobias No problem =)
perfecto excelente, pregunta de cuantos caballos es el motor de la sierra watt sus reboluciones a 110 o 220 , saludos desde colombia
Nice work
very nice table.
Bonito trabajo
That table looks amazing. Great video. Any recommendations for making detachable legs for larger/taller desk tables?
Thanks. Trestle tables are usually the go-to, and sometime this year I'm hoping to getting to make one for my dining table. Sooner than that, though, I'll be building a couple of desks which will have a 'knock down' design.
awesome, thanks
Was someone talking in the video?
Simple yet beautiful table design. I am planning on making a computer desk around this same design. I want it to be about 6 feet long and 2 feet deep (1" thickness top). Dimensionally speaking, how thick would you think I should make the legs? Also, how big/thick should the apron be?
That really depends on the design you're aiming for. Some tables have skinny legs, but with good joinery they're still stable. Others, like this, are chunky for the aesthetic reasons first, then for function. It has 90mmx90mm legs, I think 40mm aprons because thats what looked appropriate
I cant find these tassie oak benchtops anymore at bunnings :( I bought some of the acacia ones for a couple coffee tables though. great vid!
ausguitarist Thanks. The tops appear to be regional availability - if you're 'north of the (Vic) border' they may not be available. Mixed acacia and mixed reds seem to be more common nationally though.
Paul Jenkins Im north west suburbs of Vic and seen a few there but they sit them upright for a long time and most have a huge bow in them now
Where did you get the pipe for the pipe clamps? I haven't found any that long in Melbourne.
ddabate The ooooold pipes I inherited, so I don't know where they're from. The shinier stuff is just from Bunnings - 1200mm x 20mm. They screw straight onto the pipe clamp heads, and then if I need longer lengths I just use a 20mm 20mm joiner.
1st of Again Very Nice Job and Video. Now Question when using Wood dowels what size do i use for example 1x6 boards or 2x6 board or 4x4 post ?
+John Gee no idea, I've never used dowel joinery. Use the largest available, which is about 10mm?

nice dinning table :)
Any reason you are not using bar handle on that tail vise? Does hand tightening it hold strong enough to where you don't need it?
+Jonathan Barrick For those pieces, yes. To be honest, with a domino you can usually just hold the piece down by hand pressure. The wife promised to turn me a handle for both vises, but after 2+ years that hasn't eventuated. I do have a bar I alternate between the two, its crude but works when I need it.
For the next bench/vise, I'll probably use a HNT Gordon vise which doesn't need a handle.
What's the name of the machine you use for joints?
Festool Domino
can i ask where you buy your timber from, I'm in Melbourne and the only thicknesses of Tassy oak I've seen is around 19mm thick, so laminating has been necessary for legs etc.
WR Timbers in Kilsyth
Thanks for that
Hey mate. Beautiful table. Just a quick question, what sort of training did u get? Most "woodworking" courses are for construction not furniture making.
+David Langton I've had zero training - I'm all self taught/from youtube. Same goes for my video skills (or lack thereof!). There are a few TAFE courses for furniture making, or the Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking www.mgfw.com.au/
+Paul Jenkins that's even more amazing mate. Keep it up. Love the videos. I live in Sydney with zero chance of owning a place with enough space for a workshop at the moment lol. But I try to learn as much as I can from guys like u. Thanks again mate
I have to make a 8 seat as well ... well done
Are you in Melbourne Paul ?
I am, out in the yarra valley
Do you think three pocket hole screws is enough to attach each rail to the legs?
+silentfly don't use pocketholes screws to attach a table top, it doesn't allow for wood seasonal movement
What do you recommend to attach the tabletop to allow for movement?
what about making table if you are not professional carpenter-something simple?
I am just a hobbyist :)
Is "Tasmanian Oak" similar to "Corinthian Leather"? Also, have you ever heard of stop blocks? The end product is very nice indeed.
No, tas oak is a distinct different species (and not even an oak) to american or European oak.
I do hope you realize that was a feeble attempt at humor? @@TheWoodKnight
Paul,
Where in Australia can you buy the minwax poly from? Cant seem to find any.
AFAIK, nowhere stocks it anymore. Masters were the only importer
Gosh dang it. Have you found an alternative poly?
All i use is tung oil (for the look) although doesnt come with the same protection obviously
There are plenty of polyurethanes available at Bunnings, but I've switched to using hardwax oils. I'll have a video on those due out sometime later this month
No dramas mate, thanks for the info!
Me gusto la mesa , bien rustica , firme y pata cuadrada perfecto y seria mejor que la silla fueran de madera que tambien sean rustica.
Are these the 'Alpine Oak' laminated panels that Bunnings sell? Did you have the plane them flat?
I believe, yes, its 'Alpine Oak'. Tas Oak = Vic Ash = Mountain Ash = Swamp Ash = Messmate = Alpine Oak. They're commercial/trade names for three very similar gum trees. I didn't plane them flat. They are/were flat enough for the look/feel that my mum wanted. Even if they were ripped so they could fit into a thicknesser, because of the way the grain changes with the 'butcher block' approach, it could result in very nasty tearout.
Ah right, good to know, thanks. I bought one of these panels to make a couple of coffee tables. Did not realise how warped it was until after I made the cut.
+Matt Freeman hrm, sounds like you got a bad one. The boards I got were slightly uneven but not warped.
Ah well. Would you still recommend the Minwax Satin Polyurethane? I think Bunnings dropped this from their range
I got the finish from Masters, not Bunnings. They haven't stocked Minwax products in 4-5 years AFAIK.
I've moved away from polyurethanes to OSMOs PolyX. Its much nicer to apply, only needs two coats, I prefer the feel of it, and is much easier to repair should any damage happen.
There is nothing 'wrong' with polyurethanes, from Bunnings you can get Feast Watson which is fine. I'd recommend experimenting on some on some scraps first (and if you don't have any, try finding F17 90x45 hardwood at bunnings - its tas oak, just not as high grade. However, its very cheap, and will be a perfect test for finishes!)
Amazing job! Subscribed. :-)
nice table top but for the legs seem bit to common
+Rizqiqa Rumi Ramadhan I am sorry, I'll shave my legs so I can ride my bike with lyrca.
how high is the table? what is the ideal height for table?
760-780mm is the ideal height range.
+Paul Jenkins thank you so much 😊
Mum's comments?
ock barn furniture
Your mill seem to be able to take a larger diameter disk. Why not buy one? I don't think they're too expensive. And you'd be able to cut larger thickness wood without turning it over.
My "mill"? Do you mean my table saw? No, it cannot take a larger diameter disk.
Paul, I like your videos however at times you are difficult to understand. The soundquality muffles your voice, especially when you talk fast and on low volume. Speak up Paul! Great vids; love the big projects.
jbrnds Thanks - is there a particular section that is more difficult to understand than others? That'll help me track down what I've done in certain sections to make future videos overall easier to understand.
"The problem" is multifaceted - an explanation rather than excuse. For a start, I'm not a video or audio guy so I do struggle a little to get the right balance/etc. Secondly I'm awful at speaking in general - I'm relatively quiet spoken, and in front of a camera makes it worse. I'm *very* slowly getting better at enunciation - the first few videos were terrible ;)
I appreciate the feedback
Paul Jenkins No problem Paul. Just wanted to mention, because your projects are great. It is difficult to understand in the first part 00:00-00:51 and the final part 11:56-12:30. It was a bit better when I watched it on my phone with earbuds, but on the tv via my apple-tv it was difficult to understand.
You're speaking too close and too softly into the audio input. Speak further from your mic, raise your voice slightly and use a pop filter.
I`m retired and have a little shop where I perform woodturning, generate musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I stumbled upon this woodworking guide, “pepe amazing plan” (Google it), and obtained it despite the fact that I own several woodworking books in the house. It is the most comprehensive book I`ve seen. It has good coverage on each and every subject matter.
