So glad to see content coming from the Boardroom. Thanks for sharing your gift with us.
More to come! Thank you.
You have one again shown the difference between a mere mortal woodworker and a professional. Simple, elegant and BEAUTIFUL. Thanks Mike, keep em coming.
Thanks Jim.
Beautifully conceived and executed, Mike! Always a good day when I get a notification that there's another project taking shape at the Boardroom!
Awesome, thank you!
First assumed a new BlackTail Studios video, when I read "Big Walnut Desk" and saw a bald guy in the thumbnail. When the guy started making table legs I knew I was wrong 😁
Ha! Thank you.
Without a doubt social d did the best ever cover of ring of fire, an argument my 24yr old son and I have on a regular basis.
Oh, and great desk, gave me good ideas for my dining room table I need to build.
Thank you very much.
Glad John’s karaoke skills were confirmed. If only you’d included footage of our WorkbenchCon session… 😂
Ha! Probably for the best that I didn't take any video.
Wow can’t even imagine the cost of this table. Great job as always Mike!
Simplicity at it's best! Nothing compares to clean, smooth lines to allow the beautiful piece of Walnut to be the hero. You have excelled once more. Thanks for allowing us to watch this build.
Wow, thank you!
Perfect! A beautiful slab of walnut without the addition of gallons of epoxy. Thank you. This is too beautiful not to let the walnut do all the talking. And simple flat black legs don't detract from the star of the show, the wood. Well done sir.
Thank you. That was very much my goal. Lets that just disappeared and let the slab do the talking.
Like many others have said, simple, elegant and modern. But also, just the right amount of epoxy!
Thank you very much.
I love the simplicity of that walnut & steel desk.
Thanks Phil.
Mike, you’re an artist.
Thank you.
Just wanted to show some love and appreciation for the content Mike! Love how you've kept it about work working and projects. Love the sense of humor too!
I appreciate that!
I've never seen metal prepped for welding by a finish carpenter! LOL Nice work, Mikey! What an amazingly classy desk.
Thanks Rob.
A glorious sleek piece of well crafted and meticulously finished furniture..
Thank you.
Youre my favorite ww channel. Always learn something watching your vids. Thanks!
Wow, thanks!
That mini forklift is really cool
Simple and elegant, the wood is the star. Great job.
Absolutely beautiful work, my friend. I think cutting those grommet holes is a perfect example of measure 10000 times and cut once.
Ha! Measure and remeasure and remeasure........
Always great to see another notification from the Boardroom. Great desk Mike, you are amongst the best.
Wow, thanks!
Grinder and paint will make you the welder you ain’t 😎
Very true.
making your own legs is a good thing. thar pre cut warm up definitely looked like a Mayan ritual.
Thank you. The origins of that routine are thought to come from Mayan culture.
Anytime you need help on a project like this, I volunteer to come help you from first cut to finish. I just love how you make things.
Social D baby! The soundtrack to my youth!
I listened to a pretty good amount of Social D in my high school years.
Always a good day when we get a new video from the boardroom
Thank you.
Looks fab Mike. I echo what had already been said...always good to get a notification that you have released a video. Always wanted to have a go at welding but just not got the confidence really
Thanks 👍
It's weird how you hardly mentioned the live edge, which I usually don't like. This one, however, works so well because it curves around the user so beautifully. Appreciated the niceness of the slab. It certainly didn't need a river of colored lava epoxy running through it. So very pure of form, the outlets were even great. A+
Thank you.
The metal and wood together is great! Awesome table 👍
Thanks Dan.
Metal worker Mike! All the attention to wire routing really paid off. I like this project because it appears simple but in actually it’s anything but. Really nice work!
Thank you. Sometimes simple is really difficult.
Simplicity is the best.
Thank you.
My goal in life is to be successful enough to commission you or someone of your caliber to build amazing pieces like this. Beautiful work!
Thank you. That is kind to say.
As I’ve long said, a grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain’t.
Very true.
“Golden Years” by Iron Maiden - an excellent listen while hand planing.
Waisted Years? I think I was sining that one at some point in the video.
Mike does metal. . . heavy metal !! Another fine project. I like the board flattening CNC comment. Kinda like when your friends find out you have a pickup truck. "Hey, can you help me move this weekend?" LOL
Totally, same exact thing as getting the pickup truck.
Just gorgeous.
Thank you.
Nicely done Mike and some creative problem solving. BTW, used to live in Evergreen so I enjoyed the snowplow footage. God do I miss it. Also, I enjoyed your appearance in the FWW podcast.
Thanks, great to hear you enjoyed it.
Your work is wonderful, congratulations. Thank you for your videos from Chile, South America
Beautiful work, Mike!
Thank you! Cheers!
Power desk - no drawers, organizers, gadgets, etc. Noice
Thank you.
Always love watching your videos, Great Job!
Thank you! Cheers!
As far as tables go, I like what you've done here, Mike.
Thanks Marty.
That desk is a thing of beauty. You do beautiful work! It's amazing to see a slab of walnut that wide. I missed your shop buddy. He must be growing up fast!
Thank you. The shop buddy is like a little man at this point.
Beautiful work, and social distortion does indeed rock
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for this! Love your content Mike, hope you know how much we appreciate what you do and how you do it! Your attention to detail is inspiring and your dad jokes are top notch!
Seriously thinking the same thing when I saw the thumbnail
Thank you very much.
that is a mighty fine table
Ace-tone for the trollers. nice
Ha! Exactly.
A couple helpful things for the weld blending in order of application. Really works well.
Paint/Powder Finish - 1) Flap Disc 2 )Coarse Blending Pad
Patina/Thin Finish - 1) Flap Disc 2) Coarse Blending Pad 3) Medium Blending Pad or even 80 grit sand
Thank you. Good stuff.
This is the first video of your channel I've noticed and watched. The details and information are very valuable, but is your explanation and sense of humor that finally caught me. Since my criteria are not so common I can't tell you how much success you will have, but what's for sure is that you gonna have very loyal and solid base of subscribers. I'll be one from now on.
Got me with the duo-coat crack lol
Ha! Thank you.
Interesting idea to fill that shallow valley on he bottom surface with epoxy.
Thank you. I thought that was better than losing another 1/8-3/16" of thickness.
Another beautiful project. Love the attention to detail and highest of standards.
Great looking table and great song suggestions.
Wonderful walnut and simple metal legs . . . it works! Beautiful 😲 👌 👌 👌 Many greetings from Germany
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic work Mike. Love your work. Excellent delivery, just the right balance of detail.
Glad you like it!
Wowzers. If one were so inclined... A very expensive workbench. Though a very nice one, were one so inclined.... Of course.
Ha! I would be an expensive workbench for sure.
Was just wondering where you are yesterday. You're the best woodworker on youtube.
Thank you very much.
Great job. I`m looking forward to see, what you will do with the rest of the slab!
Thank you. We'll see, its not my piece wood. I do not know if the customer will commission another piece.
Your use of “ace-tone” earned my sub! Great video!
Ha! Thank you. I get a lot of comments correcting me on that.
I call it that too because I like it better than the “correct” way!
@@christopherperisho4819 You and me both.
The desk cane out simply stunning! Awesome work, as always! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
That desk is so clean! I love it. Thank you for your content.
Thanks Jeff.
Nice project Mike!
Thank you.
Welcome back Mike! Always good to see your work.
Thank you very much!
We love to see in the future more awesome projects of walnut live edge, epoxy tables from you 😊
Awesome, thank you!
in spite of their popularity, i'm not much of a fan of live-edge tables. HOWEVER, beautiful projects like this are winning me over. really, really well done... as usual. thanks for filming and sharing.
Stunning piece of wood there. I think it would have been nice to recess the holes for the outlets so that they were flush with the surface.
I agree. That was a design choice as I didn't want them hanging down any more than they were. If the client asks, I will go back and lower them into the table.
Beautiful as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Great song recommendation.
Thank you. Its a long time favorite of mine.
Wow!! That’s one awesome desk!! Great job!
Thanks so much!
Unreal. Love it!
Thank you.
Beautiful work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome as always!
Thank you.
Nice work mike, your are a very gifted artisan. Love your passion.
Thank you very much!
Amazing work & thx for sharing some your tips on solving issues as you worked on the project.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful design and build!!
Thank you very much!
Awesome! Good to see you again.
Thanks Mark.
Great video great woodworking great show
Mike, as I watch you work I thought to myself, you must have been a super athlete in your younger years?
This kind of work requires endurance, flexibility, strength, and coordination along with a lot of focus/concentration.
Beautiful piece. ❤
Nope, not an athlete. I was a good bowler though, until my shoulder gave out.
Love it - awesome work as usual!
Thanks again!
You Sir are amazing.
Thank you.
You forgot to account for wood movement. The mounting plates need hotdog-shaped holes near the corners. Also, the pockets probably need to be a ½" or more longer than said plates.
Otherwise, a totally kickin' desk.
Terrific desk, beautifully constructed, as always. Excellent song recommendation, as always, as well. 👍
Life goes by so fast
You only want to do what you think is right
Close your eyes and then it's past;
Story of my life
Killer lyrics!
Totally great lyrics from beginning to end.
I feel the same way about bondo. Beautiful project & thanks for sharing early summer in ColoRado.
Ha! Thank you.
Outstanding work
Thank you.
Good job as always! Love watching your video's!
Thank you Bryan.
AWESOME WORK!
Thank you.
Well Done! I always enjoy your videos. Thanks Mike!
Thank you Michael.
Walnut has a wonderful aroma when it is cut.
Agreed.
Yooooooo, you handsome bald devil you!!! I clicked on this video so fast as soon as I saw the notification!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Just finished video. FANTASTIC table Mike!!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out again!!
Thank you good sir. Hope you're doing well!
Lovely work, Miguel
Wow.. great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really nice work 👌🏼
Thank you.
Stunning. 👀 Amazing work as always.
Thank you! Cheers!
Always a great day when we get an update from the boardroom. Good to see you Mike!
Thank you.
Enjoyed watching it. You make it look so easy.
Thank you.
Happy Memorial Day to us...thanks Mike!
Thanks Nate, same to you and yours.
Great work!
Thank you.
Great work
I’ll remember that Bondo trick! Thx
Thank you.
Enjoy your videos very much. Your dialog though is very funny. You gotta pay attention else the listener will miss some very funny stuff. You crack me up in every video. NEVER heard the acronym FUBAR appropriately used in a restoration video but you pulled it off. Never heard of Acetone until you used it in this video. You keep making great videos and I'll keep watching and listening. Thanks.
Thank you very much.
I found out that hot glue gums up the blades (yes, even when cold) so I remove it with Isopropyl alcohol, it works fantastic. I thought this was my ingenious idea but then some 6 months later I heard it on Fine woodworking podcast. Btw the table looks fantastic and I wouldn't be shy to use it as a workbench :)
Good tip. I would probably do that if there was more. Thank you.
