- Adding the Diagonal struts to the table to give it more structural support end to end. This is the next video in the Live edge Dining table series. we are building a live edge slab top dining table. the top is a twisted piece of red oak and the base is made from Elm that was cut down about 2 years ago.
Here is the full build series: • Live Edge Slab Top Din...

I can’t wait to see the whole thing together.
You and me both!
You got me! There was no pun at the beginning, so I forgot about it and I wasn't ready for it at the end! Lol
LOL yes I've had too many bad comments about the pun at the beginning of the video so I moved them all to the end of the video now I think I like the format. Thanks for watching all the way through.
I stand in awe. This is going great.
thanks man! really looking forward to taking it upstairs!
Cosmic! I am building an oak gate for my wife to get through rail fencing to her bee-hives and did a whole sleugh of tenons this afternoon, but on the "toupie," what they call her a big powerful, above table router, "spindle something or other in English." And, I was just explaining to same wife how much time I spend now in properly setting up the machine, measuring, marking, etc, AND TAKING MY TIME(even for a gate,) because I know how long it would take for a fellow named JW on CZcams to do it all by hand...End my day, sit down at the computer and voila, what do I find, you doing exactly that! Enjoy your Sunday James...cheers...rr in Normandy
Nice. that are a lot of fun eather way. one is just a bit quieter.
Can't wait to see it all come together. Remember, no more projects till the table is done. Right? LOL
Lol right!
Super duty table your building! Thanks
it has to survive 3 kids in the house all wanting to tap-dance on top of it. LOL
Almost done!!! That is going to be one seriously sturdy table. I suspect it would probably survive a direct strike from a nuke though you might have to refinish it.
LOL I just hope it survives three kids.
That’s turned out to be an amazing base for your table. It’s looking great and will certainly support the top.
Amazing work as usual James! I loved the little clog dance routine. Can't wait to see the finished product of yet another heirloom piece............... :)
thanks Steve. I am really looking forward to taking this up stairs!
Nice job! That base is looking like a complicated timber framed barn.
LOL I kind of took some inspiration from that!
Fantastic shoots and edit!
thanks Liam. I am trying to work on that.
Dude! That is going to be one tremendous glue-up! I'd bet you wear your Nikes for that! Looking great so far. Nice work.
No glue needed. It is all held in place with gravity. That way you can take it apart and flat pack the table when moving.
@@WoodByWright haha, just what I was thinking, why glue or dowel since it's going to be so massive, besides, it gives you the option to replace any piece of the base in case it goes bad for whatever reason, you're one of my top sensei for using joinery and hand tools!
I love the work u put in but it seems to busy simplicity is beauty strong and simple
Yup. a lot of people like that, personally I like a detailed and busy look. Just wait tell I get to all the carving. If I were making it for another person I would build it for their taste, but for me I build it for my taste.
Thanks for the sharing
my pleasure!
I love the video format James. But I also really like the once where you walk us through the what your doing. So I'm torn which one I like better all the heck with it I like them all keep up the great work you're doing James. Also I think that's the first time I've seen you use that Stanley Everlasting chisel in a while look like it performed excellent
Thanks for the feedback. It is a difficult job to strike the balance between pure educational and pure watchable. Most of the audience actually doesn't want me to talk at all but I like to have a general overview of the process at least in the video and try to give a few tips along the way. If not little bit more.
@@WoodByWright I noticed you using your everlasting chisel. How do you like it compared to your Aldi chisels
@@codybryant8684 for General bench chisels are not favorable to me I just did not a huge fan of the shape of the handle and shortness of the Tang. But when I really need to move something for I feel like I need to drive a mortise they worked really well for that. Having the steel running all the way up through the shaft gives a really nice contact feel
@@WoodByWright great thank you
I'm curious about that mallet made of metal with the chunk of wood in it. Seems like solid weight for using a chisel with lifetime use since you just replace the wood core.
thanks! it is called a split top mallet. you can get them here: amzn.to/2Rxmdpd
I also have a video on making it here: czcams.com/video/6VU2eIH7IjQ/video.html
I use it when i really want to move things
It’s really coming together, best part you can still take it all apart to move up stairs 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
With your joints so tight, will the finish interfere with that? Making them to tight?
Thanks. no. I made the joints that tight because I'm going to be taking off a certain amount of material when I go to finishing. I'll be smoothing off the sides and getting them down ready for finish at that point they will slide in much easier.
Where did you get that depth gauge? It’s sick!
it was made for those that attended the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors Meet this year. so sorry they are hard to come by.
thank you James
. question please the smacking of the joints and taking into consideration wood movement are the fits too tight what about glueing ??? oh wait no glue
Thanks Walter. I intended to have the joints extremely tight right now as I will be going back and smoothing all the surfaces as well as doing some carving and finish detail that will loosen them all up and they'll fit together much nicer later on. I just cannot do all this moving right now as the faces will get all scratched and dinged up through the working process.
thank you . that makes sense
I looked at signing up to support your channel. I must be dumb, I couldn't figure it out. I'll try it again later.
Sorry Russ. it is a new system for most as youtube just rolled it out.
So, how did you decide to have the struts from center down to end rather than end down to center? Also, same questions as Michael. Cool little depth gauge (I think sick means cool now).
structurally it does not make much difference. but I was wanting to keep the ends looking more open and as you will not see much of the top of the base that gets them a bit more out of site on the ends. As to the depth gauge, it was made for those that attended the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors Meet this year. so sorry they are hard to come by.
Good work, James, but these shoes ... what are they made of: wood, leather, brick, hahaha, or are Dutch wooden clogs? They must be very comfortable - or not! :-D
Clogs are the best shoes you can have in the shop. Very comfortable and protect your feet I love mine.
I believe in you. I was just joking, James. Well, if you use them, they should be really comfortable. But are not they heavy?
no they are made of poplar. they are heaver then running shoes but lighter then steel toed boots.
I understand!. It should be safer for the feet, in front of the risk of tools falling on the feet, than running shoes.
What size V chisel do you use for your carvings
I can not remember the size number off the top of my head but I have it listed on my website if you want to see. www.woodbywright.com/tools
who makes that depth gauge? I may need one of those
It was made for those that attended the Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors Meet this year. so sorry they are hard to come by.
@@WoodByWright darn, looks like I need to make my own version
James. I am liking your design. My only concern is how beefy it looks. Do you think is worth considering shaping the structural members for a sleeker form and a little more artistic style? There’s still time.
The problem with table bases is everyone has their own idea of what looks good. I for one likes the look of an extremely beefy and heavy base. If I were building it for someone else I would find out what their tastes are but for me I really love this base is exactly what I'm looking for
Wood By Wright beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While that is true. I was also thinking of hitting your knee or foot on that base. There’s so much an artistic eye and a spoke shave can do. Think Maloof. Only the joints themselves are square.
@@hdwoodshop yes. I will be attacking all the corners as well as doing a bunch of carving in it even though the base looks really big it's actually a long ways back into the table because the table is so large. At its widest point it's almost 5 feet across
Hugo I am with you in this one. I think the dimension of the members fits the table top, but there are too many, and lots of them will not carry any load as it is now. E.G. the two long diagonal members, that are attached in the bottom to a crossmember, subjecting it to bending.
