❤❤❤ thanks for the detailed video. I love your methods of not using screws and this is truly old-school and authentic.
TIP:
The dowels you used to attach the top to the base, first dip the dowels into liquified bees-wax.
They will be MUCH easier to remove when it's time for disassembly several years down the road.
Beautiful work, by the way.
Been looking for a method like this. Building my first table, perfect for what i want. Thank you!
This is great, I hope to build one based on your design one day. I just completed my first woodworking project a couple months ago, it was a crib for my first son. It turned out better than I ever could have hoped for. A table is such a cool thing to build. A place for your family to gather , share food and create memories. Beautiful work man. It would bring me to tears to see all of that come together if it was by my own hand. You take pride in your work, do things the proper way and don’t take shortcuts. That’s the mark of a craftsman IMO. Well done.
Fantastic skill! I will watch this again about 50 times. Your hand tool work is fantastic!
I bought this for a wood carving seminar. I needed something light enough for an old lady to carry from car to site and easily set up. This did the trick. I used the clamps to hold my carving stand in place and they worked well too. I have used it since then for jobs around the house and am very happy with it.
My next door neighbor has a small woodmizer and he gave me 15 8/4 white oak planks for some work I did for him. Now I know what to use it on. Beautiful table and job Chris. Give Utz a hug.
Fantastic! I’m about to build a table and couldn’t come up with my own idea on how to fasten the tabletop to the legs. This should work. Thank you!
I built my first table recently and attached the table top using this method. It was easy to do and the customer loved it. This is how I will attach all my table tops. thanks.
Perfect fit. I was planning a way to attach a top to a base without hardware. This confirms that it can be done, and strongly. Thanks.
Great job. I wanna make a table and bench without any metal part and CZcams showed me this video. Thanks for sharing.
Thus is one of the best looking and best built tables I've seen on CZcams. Excellent job. No doubt you could sell this for $1800, maybe more. Absolutely Beautiful.
Thank you! Just what I needeime tod in attaching the top to trestle legs that I am building. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Love the use of the hand tools. Wonderful artisan skills from yesteryear. And the joinery with dowels, how simple and effective plus it is in keeping with the whole theme. Well done, you are an inspiration!
Thank you for this video, it is one of my favorites since it illustrates an often overlooked part of table construction.
Beautiful table!! Nice work and I've been wanting to do breadboard ends on a table but never watched how it's done until now. Thanks!
I really like the table and the way you attached the top. I’m building a farm table like yours out of Ash but expandable from 72” -102” and I’ll use your method of attachment. Thanks, great job
Just discovered your channel and I can’t wait to binge watch the rest! The breadboard end is incredible, I LOVE the look of the draw bore dowels, and that really is an ingenious method to attach the top!
That is awesome Ethan. I am glad you found the channel and like what you see
Love the way you mount the top!! Im going to attempt to make mine the same way! I have just finished my first table and bench set! Thank you for your knowledge!
This is absolutely amazing and the best way to join a base to a top that I have seen yet. Great work man.
Thanks Bryant, much appreciated!
I have a commission to build a trestle table this summer, and this method solves the logistical conundrum of building it in my shop and installing it at the customer's house. Thanks!
haha yes its perfect for that!
Just about to attach the top onto a coffee table I just finished. I think I will rethink it, because I really like what I see here!! Great job! Exceptional work!
One of the coolest ways of attaching a top that I have ever seen. I have always used clips of some kind. Gotta try it on my next build. Thank you for sharing.
That's really cool how it's attached. The end result is amazing.
The join between the top and breadboard....Spectacular workmanship. Great job on the whole thing.
I do believe you are my favorite CZcams channel.
I have an extremely wide range of interests,
ranging from social philosophy to the environmental and physical sciences.
You broach the fundamentals of what I look for in a channel.
Your not only educational but also entertaining...
Exuding a confidence with a humble persona,
letting your work speak for itself, truly
a fine quality in an age lacking in this regard.
Job well done
Thank You
IJN
After watching these 2 videos, I was in awe of the skill and the perfection you displayed in creating this table. You sir, should be proud of the craftsman that you have become.
Sometimes I think to myself one of my joints has a near perfect fit, then I see your joints... incredible!! Amazing work and great methods!! Another great thing about this method is if you ever want a thicker, wider, or longer table top, there’s no need to remake the entire table, only the top! So long as it fits the base anyway.
Beautiful craftsmanship and very informative video. Thanks for sharing!
Really clever construction that I think just helped me out with a bind on my current dining table project. Thanks, and beautiful table!
Very informative video. I recently got into industrial furniture business and build a sample coffee table out of pine wood which ended up warping at edges since then I have been trying to figure out ways to eliminate this problem. Your video is the ultimate solution of it. Best Regards.
Beatiful hand work on that breadboard end.
Wow! Great video, and I have to say that your talent and creativity are very inspiring to a newbie. Thank you!
You’re the real deal. No metal fasteners - love it!
I loved this whole series and build! I’m gonna try breadboard ends on a smaller scale first, like a coffee table. Thanks so much for awesome videos and guides!
Hey my pleasure greg, I am glad you like the series and please be sure to send some pictures my way of the coffee table when finished!
Great work, brother. A true craftsman.
Thanks for sharing this video. The craftmanship in that build is amazing! Beautiful table.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Can't wait to try this technique to fasten my dining table top. Well done!!
It's amazing to see how far you have come from this to now. Great job.
Wow! I love that joint system! Gonna try it on a bench top I’m making’
Simple and elegant solution for connecting the top to the base nice video thanks
I built plans for a table to be constructed without fasteners also. I have been struggling on the top to base attachment so this is awesome information. Great video series.
Thank Ryan, I'm glad this helped!
Outstanding work! Thanks for the ideas I am using for my builds.
Beautiful table! Thank you for sharing!
Watched a lot of woodworking vids on youtube. This is one of the better ones, for sure. Great video coverage of the process, lighting was good and kept it simple. More and more junk on-line, good to see a good one. Also, a few nuggets of pro level tips included. Really liked the simple dowel clamp-up system that assembled in seconds and looked super secure.
This is hands down the best way to do this segment of table building, thank you and awesome
Awesome work! Gotta love how you attached the top to the base! Way to go........... :)
Thanks steve, Im really happy with it!
Very well done and that's an awesome way to attach a table top!!
Thanks Bud!
Really cool method for attaching that table top. I’m going need to give that a try for an upcoming table.
Thanks, let me know how it works for you!
Gorgeous table, I as a fellow professional furniture maker I can appreciate both your technique and design. I like your method of attaching the top, I have always used Z clips on my dining tables and they have always served me well. I think I like your method better in this case, especially for trestles. WELL DONE IM GENUINELY IMPRESSED
Thank you! thats a major complement coming from a professional. Im definitely going to use this method again too!
Great video, fantastic workmanship! Thanks for sharing.
Just drooled and commented on the video about the base, this was just as impressive. You are a wealth of knowledge, and so glad for this classy way to account for wood movement. Hope your channel blows up soon!
Thanks Again bud! It really means a lot!
Very clever solution. I love the wave of woodworkers coming out of the woodworks (pardon the pun). It’s very inspiring and though many tend to gravitate towards power tools, hopefully this surge of craftsman fuels another generation to learn what we came from, which aids us to better realize where we’re going. Thanks for the excellent content.
Thank you for the kind words. I agree totally. I think you learn way more about the wood and put a lot more of yourself in your projects when you use your hands and hand tools. Power tools are great, but there are too many wood "machiners" rather than wood "workers" I think a hybrid blend is the way to go :)
I really like that method of attachment. It is always good to think about “how will the owner move this in the future?”
Fantastic! I have been trying to solve this same problem with a BIG round top table. Excellent idea! You are a real craftsman sir
Fantastic job!! Great tutorial!! Thanks
I tell you, this table is so beautiful. I love this table and would really like to build one soon. You did an amazing job my friend. That finish really transformed the piece. This is the type of furniture I want to build. This truly is an heirloom piece of furniture. It will be around long after we are gone. It is like when I go looking at old pieces of furniture and I run my hand across it and wonder about the stories of all the people who may have owned it in the past. I guess I sound weird but that is just something that really appeals to me.
I am totally with you Joseph. Its really cool to think back at what an old piece has gone through. I also want to be remembered by my family through my work when I am gone. I want my grand children to tell their children that "your great grandfather built this table." that is a cool thought to me.
You don’t sound weird!
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman I am sure they will all look at the treasures past down to them from you and admire the skills and the objects they inherited.
Not weird. This is a quote from John Ruskin. I put a framed copy in my late father's workshop: "Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See! This our father did for us.”
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for--thanks! I'd already developed a vague plan to use blocks, but this fleshed it out into something that I now know will actually work. ...Oh, and thank you for not using freakin' pocket hole screws, which I hate with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
Cool idea.
Great job Chris, yet to use the breadboard ends on anything, but now thinking seriously.
Thanks Darryl, its definitely a beautful touch
love the attachment method....great job
Thank you for sharing your ideas keep it up
Truly craftsmanship!
Great Video, thank you. A new method for my outdoor tables.
Much appreciated.
No problem. Let me know how it works out for you! Thanks for watching bud
Amazing build! Learned a lot and enjoyed the process. Cheers!!! 🙌
You have the patience of a saint. Table is beautiful.
Fantastic. Thank you for showing how to do it, I will be imitating it this summer.
Awesome. I am glad to hear that. Be sure to let me know how it goes!
Absolutely beautiful work!!!!!!!!!!! The accuracy with which you use hand tools is stunning and a treat to watch. I have to say that you have got the style and proportions spot on. A lot of makers fail to get the sizing of the underframe right and sometimes lose the overall effect. Yours is perfect!!!!
I agree with your comments on dowel sizing and grain structure. I have had some panic moments when draw boring and had a couple which don't want to reach the full depth, but I tend to do blind holes so that they only show on one side - this may be a factor. I love your videos, keep up the great work - Regards Dave - England.
Great job! I really like your top-to-base attachment method. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks. Yea I think its a pretty cool way of doing it!
What a great video. Your method of attaching top to base is fantastic. I am going to use your idea in a table I am currently building. Thanks.
I have been looking for a removable top meathod. This is outstanding. Thanks.
terbaik...seni pertukangan kayu yang baik...great job...!!!
Real nice table and attachment method. I will have to give it ago.
Thanks peter! let me know how it goes for you.
Bravo, man. There's a moment right at 1:08 when you pull out that measurement thing and make a line where it says "80". I can do that part. I'm six lifetimes away from most of it, but I can spend all of them admiring the work guys like you can do.
Very nice job. I have one of these to build soon and I will be using this method. I really like your attention to detail, you did well.
Excellent. Just what I was looking for.
That table is a masterpiece!!! great work!
Thanks Dave. Much appreciated!
Great job.Thanks for sharing.
Mais um trabalho de mestre, não precisa comentários, e a volta triunfal de UTZ.
Fantastic work! 🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sickness. Thanks for sharing. Trying this in North Pole Alaska on a little table i made out of tamarack & some old pine Chevron aviation gas boxes. 3/8" dowels should be plenty. Thanks again. Genius idea & it looks sweet.
Thanks for posting this video. I was hoping for more detail on how you attached the table top and this explained it perfectly.
Im glad this helped. thanks for watching bud!
That's a real beauty. Great work.
Again, amazing work! I love that you didn't use any metal fasteners. But most of all, ya gotta love the cameo appearances by Utz!!
Utz definitely makes it. Once we get into nice weather and I can have the garage door open Utz will be out in the shop a lot more with me.
Thanks for taking time to share really appreciate it great insight
my pleasure Tim! Im glad you found some use from it!
A thing of beauty
good explanation, thanks
That's a project i wouldn't mind making myself, a nice table for a dining room, old fashion :), Kings Table!
Turned out really nice
Cool technique.
Love the table top connector method. Will be giving it a try on my next table.
Thanks! I thought it was pretty nifty too!
As usual, Chris... Great job!
Thanks Jim much appreciated bud
Really good. well done. I thoroughly enjoyed it especially the top fixing. Great video and explanation. keep up the good work.
Great idea with using the dowells to secure the table top
Love your work
Thank you my friend for very good video and intelligent and easy techniques,
Very nicely done!
That's a good idea for a removable table top. I usually use a blind wedged tenon to attach table tops to the bases but it can't be removed. You should try it sometime.
I like third coast craftsman, uses a lot of hand tools and grit... 👌
Marvelous!
