Love your projects and your presentation. You are a very skilled man who presents good information in a clear and no nonsense way, so refreshing, thank you! 👌👌👌👌👌
I have been following you channel for a few years before I attempted building stuff myself. But now I have started and I really appreciate your workmanship. I am learning so much from you. Thank you.
Very nice idea keeping a table behind a sofa, narrow table with three drawers, precious things we keep inside and news paper like things we can keep on the table, so front side could be always neat and Clean. super make by a super Artist.
Wow Jon! The design is FANTASTIC…but beyond that, your execution was perfect. You outdid yourself on this piece. I’ve watched many vids from your shop, this is my fav. I want you to know that I have learned so much from you, and betting many others would say the same.
Hello sir . I am very happy to see your clip , your content in the clip is not for entertainment purposes but it is a course . Although the language is different, I can still understand what you convey through the way you do it. Thank you, good health
Spectacular Jon! My wife and I both love this piece. If you remember I built your Sapele and white sofa bookcase. I will build this one as well. Fantastic!
I bought a set of small, low-profile plastic knurled knobs that have a 1/4" hex hole in them for using a bit in tight locations. They work well for applications like attaching the drawer stops.
This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I’m a (serious) amateur, sometime professional, cabinet maker for 45 plus years. A video with very high production values does not mean that the presenter knows his stuff - I’ve seen relatively poor quality videos showing high quality work. However, when you get, as with this, the perfect combination of high quality video with high quality craftsmanship, it does make easy viewing. There are many good ways to achieve any single task in woodworking - and usually a few bad ways. So, whilst, I would not personally make my tables exactly this way, I would have no problem in doing so. I guess it depends on a personal preference. One curiosity that I have is the use of screws to hold pieces together when you have already applied glue thoroughly and also pin-nailed. It’s not a back-handed way of saying that you shouldn’t but rather a question of what might be wrong in just glueing and pinning (as I have done). I’d be very interested to know why you go that extra step - although, as the self- professed King of over-engineering, I’m used to going belt, braces and then another belt. Aesthetic is personal; you like a style that I don’t and vice versa. Craftsmanship is universal and I admire yours. If I might be so bold as to comment on aesthetic, I try, in similar tables that I have made, to go for overlay drawer fronts so that the continuous grain pattern you have achieved is not interrupted by the visible drawer dividers. It’s just personal choice. Your simple drawer construction pleases my eye. I think that “extreme” dovetails can add to an aesthetic but if it’s just for a joint, I don’t think dovetails add a degree of additional strength that’s needed. I understand that, back in the day of Chippendale etc., glues were not particularly effective and so a mechanical joint was required. These days, when adhesives are usually stronger than the timber, a chemical joint is all you need. Your solution looks (to my eye) to be perfect for the clean look of the overall project. Your veneering technique is spot-on. However, I have one further question - I was always taught that, if you apply a veneer to one side of a substrate, you must apply an equal thickness veneer to the other side; otherwise, warping would occur over time. I was told , and most examples on YT show, that you must respect this even when veneering plywood. What are your thoughts on this? I would be delighted to be proved wrong as veneering both faces adds time and cost which you avoid. There seems to be a myth that veneering, like French polishing, is an art that requires a four year apprenticeship. It doesn’t. Buy good quality veneer from a respected supplier and you will get a product that is as easy to apply as you show. Buy cheap veneer and……I have a book-press type of veneer press which is great for smaller pieces of veneering and vacuum bags for larger, shaped pieces. But, for flat, large pieces, I do exactly as you do. Perhaps I would suggest first time veneer-ers start with offcuts and smaller projects but it’s certainly achievable to veneer large items straight off if you have good veneers, glues and substrates. Apologies for the length and the questions. You should never stop learning and finding out better ways.
Looks amazing. I really like the simplicity of the drawer construction and they look great when the walnut dowels are added. I'm going to try this on a desk I'll be building.
Jon once again just beautiful craftmanship on this build , and just a wealth of ideas to play off of thanks again for sharing with us all these valuable tips and tricks...
Hi Jon, I’m definitely always impressed by the accuracy of your gesture during your work. Muscular memory is a treasure to get and keep, I try to improve that day by day in my workshop and.. as possible… everywhere ! Thanks for sharing your method, keep on going ! Greetings from France
@@christopherbaldwin001 The way you place your body, the accuracy you move your hands, including speed, precise stops, the angle given to the joints of the fingers, wrists, arms... in short, all the movements practiced to manipulate wood and tools.
Hey Jon. Always appreciated your videos. Just realized you are from NJ as well. Keep up the great work. Its was your video of a high back angled chair that took my interest in woodworking, from an interest to jumping in heads first.
Learned more about applying veneer here than anywhere else! Oh, that little screw driver, any chance of seeing a brief demonstration for that. I have need of something like that right now.
Glad I found this channel. Was going to make almost an exact version of this as a desk for my dad as he prefers horizontal drawers vs vertical drawers on 1 side. Dimensions might be different but I know what to do now. Thank you for posting this! P.S. is veneer better than stained birch plywood? Would like your opinion on that.
The Plywood has to be of a very high grade when ur making a piece like this I guess?? It's a really nice piece man. The Veneer makes a wonderful job of it. I want to build a console table for under the stairs for my mother's home. She keeps on at me about it. I don't have the table saw like u have but the one I have will do the job I guess. It's a cheap saw but it does cut well with a good blade. I think I will attempt one of these with MDF 18mm and I have 1/4" plywood sheets that I will use as a veneer for the unit. I might save the Plywood and just paint the whole thing a nice Satinwood colour. Either way it's the design u built here that I really like. I just sub'd and liked today this minute. Only found ur channel today. Keep the great projects coming. I learned a fair bit from this. I'm relatively new to this game. I love working with woods even if MDF is all I have atm for this build I'm going to attempt..
Very nice, a simple and clean design. Do you chamfer the legs at all where they meet the floor? I would think the veneer would tear/peel/split there from dragging.
This sofa table can withstand the force of 1,000 earth quakes with how sturdy it is. Beautiful piece and absolutely awesome content as always. I find it so satisfying watching you work. Thank you for letting us see how you operate, Jon.
I'm very happy for watching this video and I learned a more ideas ... thanks bro... but i want ask you about sanding first question what num of paper we should use ? Second question is veneer sanding too ... sorry for english language
Great woodworking video for real world woodworkers. The construction techniques and tools required look very reasonable. Did you add the screws to the face to face plywood joints as a means to help out those building the project who may not have a large supply of expensive clamps? Or is there a structural reason the glue alone would not be strong enough?

Love these longer videos! Great work! Thank you.
Thanks Jon as a novice I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos.
Absolutely beautiful love the grain of the walnut

Hi! Mr. Peters. I still admire your work. Greetings from a Nicaraguan.
What a pleasure to see a master at work. Thanks for that.
Master woodworker, master presentation.
You’re so talented and amazing in your trade. That piece is gorgeous!!! Great job 👌

That table is absolutely beautiful.
Spectacular Jon! My wife and I both love this piece. If you remember I built your Sapele and white sofa bookcase. I will build this one as well. Fantastic!
Lovely work
Beautiful piece of furniture! Clean lines, which I love. Small details make the difference. Loved it!

Amazing piece of furniture, thanks for sharing and it's a pleasure to watch a precise craftsman at work!

Thanks Jayson!
Brilliant job!
I tried to build a similar table using my extremely below average skills. It came out great... for firewood.
I've always enjoyed your videos Jon. Great table.
Beautiful build! 🙂
Great work thank you.

Spectacular. Do you ever concern yourself with uneven floors and use leveling feet?
Great woodworking video for real world woodworkers. The construction techniques and tools required look very reasonable. Did you add the screws to the face to face plywood joints as a means to help out those building the project who may not have a large supply of expensive clamps? Or is there a structural reason the glue alone would not be strong enough?
