Thanks to Britton Timbers for supplying the Walnut and Plantation Oak- brittontimbers.com.au/
This Leaf Hall Table was built using Walnut and Plantation Oak which is essentially Tasmanian Oak grown in a sustainably controlled environment.
I’ve used copper leaf to help accent some of the details in the top but because the table top isn’t flat, I’ve used 10mm acrylic to provide a flat surface. I decided to use acrylic instead of glass in this situation mostly because of the weight but also because I wanted to use screws to hold down the top. The screws go through the support dowels and into the leaves themselves providing a strong grab. Please note this table has been designed as a display table and isn’t meant for heavy use like a dining table, otherwise acrylic would not be a suitable choice in this scenario. The screws have then been covered by custom oak buttons.
The Oak leaf tops are held into place using some metal brackets that will help the tops to expand and contract, although there won’t be much movement in the oak as it is quarter sawn material.
I decided to share my story of how I became a furniture maker in the hopes that it may give some insight into the process, as well as provide some clarity to those who aren’t sure whether or not they need a qualification.

Wouldn't it be logical for a woodworkers studio to have some kind of accoustic foam? I think it would reduce a huge chunk of the sound. I'm talking about the noise of the tools when you are using them, not the YT video.
I jumped through the 101 "Like and Subscribe" calls in an attempt to discover what your accident was. You don't say anything about it other than it happened and the doctors were impressed. No mistake to learn from.
If your in Texas and need a hand. I’m Mayan and have a background on wood working that’s been in graves in my mind since birth, I grew up in the jungles of Belize and I Believe I can move the way we think of woodwork in ways most don’t see, not to say I’m the best but I can say I’m different. So different I’m far from my peers back home in Belize. But I would love to work with someone with the background internally vs me someone who understands it more mentally and spiritually. Yes I can do internal. But I feel like it’s best to share the success then to succeed alone.
Steal with your eyes is what my teacher told me when I started my apprenticeship to become a cabinet maker. It is indeed incredible how much you can learn by simply watching with interest how experts do their job. So thank you for letting me learn from your videos, highly appreciated!
Thats a great quote
I am a westerner living with family in Japan. Here, that is the institutionalized apprenticeship path; long, hard, hours, no favors, no instruction. An apprentice is expected to learn his trade by observing the craftsmen at work, while he executes his tasks.
I couldn't agree more, "steal with your eyes", I must remember that.
@@leehaelters6182 A formal apprenticeship where a master actively teaches the apprentice skills over a period of 5 years is far more beneficial for everyone involved. Of course, not everyone advances through the program. Some apprentices fail to develop the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities of the craft and are either reassigned to work as a general laborer or discharged from employment.
Never been taught this but have said my whole life, that im one of the biggest thieves on this planet I steal everyday of my life...... i steal with my eyes...
If one set of hands can do it....... mine can do it as well if i want them and ask them to.
Ecclesiastes 5:18
"This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them-for this is their lot."
You're doing it! Genuinely happy you're finding satisfaction in your work! I love getting to see your projects. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations! very beautiful work! I'm Nikos from Greece, cabinet, furniture maker, and woodturner. My best wishes for your hand. I have 3 times in my life that i cut fingers on machines, but it was little. One old man told me in my third cut: Machines never sleep, but the human cannot . My best wishes from Greece!
Telling your viewers your road to get where you got isn’t arrogant, rather it explains more about where the character, charisma, and artistry of your pieces came from. I learn a lot watching your videos that I apply in my hobbyist woodworking. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you
I’m a mechanical engineer and I’m starting to make furniture and build things out of wood and have plans to expand to metal. Really enjoy your videos. I just subscribed. Thank you for sharing your builds. Learning from you. Thx. Greetings from Yorba Linda, California.
That piece is nothing short of stunning. I super appreciate your work ethic and the background which you have shared. I am really glad you did not take the doctor's advice.
Beautiful work Nick. I must say, you telling your story helps us, your viewers understand you more and like you more. Your work is truly spectacular. Thanks for sharing such a personal story. While I am disabled, I still try to get in my little shop as much as possible and being on a fixed income does not allow me to become a patreon member as much as I want to. Can’t wait for the next one
Thanks so much for watching Steve!
@@pedullastudio don’t thank me Nick, I need to thank you because believe it or not, you are helping me to get back into my shop and to start making things again
@@steveferguson1232 Thats great to hear mate!
You are a very inspirational person and your creations are true art. Probably the best content in woodworking area as well
Thank you so much
Love it. Good on you for thumbing your nose at the Dr that said find a new career. Also, your sharing your journey is not self indulgent. I would hope it will serve as inspiration to the younger Woodies out there to chase their dream.
Thanks Phil
I appreciate your background story. Your craftsmanship is second to none.
Hey Nick. I was just thinking about you. And here you are! This video tells me about the character of the man I have a feel for. and now I have some inkling why! I'm finally making the furniture that has been in my head. Similar story in my background but I took a different turn to become a psychologist. That's in my past and now I'm in the shop I built and working with my Mentor Murphy to bring all the information into practice. Love this organic piece and the process of the build. You are an artist and artisan. Go Nick go! And take us with you. Can't currently afford patreon although I checked it out on the last video. Thanks!
Thanks so much Thomas
