Love the table! Top tip for your next welding project: add a bevel to both edges you want to weld and set your pieces width of the MIG wire apart, your welds will have a better penetration (stronger) and you'll have less material to grind off.
Thats a great tip, thank you! I'll give that a shot next time I'm welding
LOVE that table. That stand making the top look like it's floating?...come on! Looks amazing and, even more importantly, different than the other thousand videos. Great work keep it up!
Damn, thank you Tregg! That means a lot to me
Tip for welding from a MFA artist, if you do tack welding before you do regular (basically do little dots at each corner and flat meeting edge all around the joint before doing a long line) it will help the metal to not expand and warp the joint and you will get a cleaner welded joint. It will give you a much better weld and it will also be stronger and easier to clean when you get to grinding. Hope this helps for next time. Love the table!
no shit eh
Just keep pushing man, you make great content, if you keep going like this for a few year you will reach 1 million easily
Thank you! That means a lot to me and I hope you're right!
I've been building things for a few years now. And thanks to you, I will be starting with walnut for my chabudai office table I'm building. A birthday gift to myself😎, I'll tag you on social media when I'm done.
You crushed this one, Zac. Great combination of welding and woodworking skills!
Hey Brother, I just found your channel today. I've played with woodworking, never taking it as seriously as could have. When I was young, I was always more into cars and trucks, body work and mechanics. Thing is, I find that many of the supportive skills, like welding, and painting are very transferable to wood.
Much nicer coffee table. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
I love the 2 tone and thickness of wood. It turned out very nice in spite of the learn as you go.
I will try this but with matching pattern the double up on same color randomly I feel takes away from the beauty of herringbone patter. But that’s just my option. And what I would like
When I saw the cut off piece it reminded me of a stair case and tight sway wanted to see you match the pieces to fit like a puzzle making a pretty slab of would glued together.
YT recommended a video of yours to me a while back, love the high quality content and great video making!
Thanks Dominik! Hugely appreciate man!
Primer is always necessary IMO. You can get a better bond, and fill more imperfections.
For an indoor coffee table you should take advantage of the metal finish, because it likely will not rust.
My favorite effect is a watered down bluing solution applied with a brush on a sanded surface then clear-coated, but there are hundreds of different chemicals and combinations.
I'd like to suggest a crazy build: make your own custom timber flooring!
great video quality dude, from editing to the content itself. I see a lot of channel growth in your future!
Nice work Zac! Love your work and ideas! Keep it up! A great combo for these wood on metal frames is using threaded inserts together with furniture bolts; this prevents damaging the wood when removing/reinstalling the wooden top. These helped me out a lot when moving the table around.. Looking forward to your next video!
Great call Dean! I'm going to order some of those for my next build. I've been meaning to try them out for some time now
Years ago I broke three fingers because my glove got caught in the drill. Lesson learned! Now I only wear gloves when shovelling snow. Lol!
Yes! Don't wear any kind of gloves while working with rotating tools and machinery. No matter how lovely the fit is there's always a risk that it'll get caught and potentially do some serious damage. Just look up "lathe glove accident".
Hey Zac, thanks for sharing your full process! Love the design. I appreciate your honesty and care when it comes to your craftsmanship. Your glue-up process will help me with my next project, so thanks for the tips. I'm going to try doing tongue and grooves to reduce the need for post flattening, and I'll put a boarder around the edges to hide this.
Broooooooooooooo that intro was everything!!!!!! Holyyyyyyyyyyyyy shish-ka-bob’s
Really like the table. Hope to one day make a living off building furniture myself. One thing that I would personally change on your build is that I would have made the frame that it's sitting on narrower to hide under the table more. Also glad to see that you run more off what comes next in your head rather than intricately planning it all as I'm a little more inclined to do it like that also. First video I've seen of yours, really enjoyed it
This is quickly turning into one of my favorite woodworking channels. Great job!
When i start to video 0:31 i was in doubt .what i play video from @zac Build's or Any Hollywood Movie Trailer.awsam keep it up...love from pakistan🇵🇰
Zac, I like this table over the previous. Mainly, I prefer the frame better. Great job and I'd be glad to have that table in my home.
Thanks Chris! The frame is much better on this one, a lot more functional and a lot less in the way.
very satisfied with this product
Put the legs on the long side 2 inches towards the middle...
because it is like visually shrinking your tabletop!
Still going to be stable.
Great masterpiece!
Something I've always wanted to try with large herringbones is using dowels for alignment, which should help with minimizing gaps towards the latter portion of the glue-up. If all of your cuts are consistent, and all of your dowel spacings are consistent, then it should be a foolproof way of having flawless herringbones. This could be done two ways, assembling each half of the herringbone and plugging the two halves together, or assembling each V in the herringbone and assembling each V with dowels at a 45° angle; the latter might be better for final assembly, though angled dowels aren't the most fun thing to do, though each glue-up could use an angled block with a dowel for the clamping on the portions of the Vs that're farther out from the centerline. Either way, I would think doweling would result in a tighter, more consistent glue-up.
Sick video, Zac! Keep up the amazing work man!
Thanks brother! Appreciate it
amazing table i might give this a try and you did an amazing job with the B-roll too without an editor
Bravo! 😎Improved and nearly perfect now. Thanks for the welding tips on straighter angles 📐
A proud Canadian. Love it. Go Leafs!
Love it!! It’s so cool to see how much you have learned. Thanks for sharing your tips with us!!
the finished product is amazing....well done!
Thank you so much!
I think you can shoot to 1M+ subs easy with the content you produce
lol. there was a comment about it already
I hope you're right man! Still, from where I'm sitting, 34k subs sounds like a pretty huge number and I'm grateful to every one of them!
Nice work. I'm amazed how many wood/metal shops are located inside what looks like a home portion (basement etc). I'd love the idea I just dont know about ripping saws or grinders at abnormal times of day when the family is relaxing.
Dude, love the video! The table is nice too. Welding is something I plan to get into, as well. You have inspired me!
Hi Zac, I like your channel. One thing I noticed is I am surprised you did not make the leg base shorter and narrower than the table top since you have it raised above the main leg assembly. I am uncertain what I would have picked from an aesthetic point of view but I think I would prefer the leg length was shorter and narrower for functional reasons.
Amazing Skills !!!
It is looks better than the first one
Great stuff! Put elongated holes for wood movement at the top of the list for this year!
Amazing work Zac! The table looks stunning and feels pretty solid that would last a long time. Keep up the good work man!
Great job learning, improving and making something awesome.
p.s. I always find primer is worth the time
@@TheGrantAlexander Paint and Primer in one is never as good as doing both steps separately for sure!
Ive watched a few of your videos now and realozed this video that your shop looked familiar, like i had been there before.. And I had! I bought your dads old Delta 14 drill press from him! Crazy!
Wooowww! Talk about a small world! How's the old delta treating you? That thing was a reliable work horse for us for a long time
Awesome build Zac, it's fun to learn and improve, and then do it all over again 😂
Nice project
Great design - especially for the table leg assembly!
Thanks Barry!
Sweet job zac goes great in your new pad top job
Looks terrific!! I love the floating look, so my vote is with the 2021 version. And unless you're using something like a Titebond extend, you don't get 20 or 30 minutes of open time before wood glue begins to set - it can be as little as 5 or 6 minutes! So small, manageable bites are definitely the way to go!
Ya good point, it really depends on WHAT glue you're using. Always gotta read the label. Thanks Billy!
Great work as always!
AWESOME! JUST AWESOME!
Awesome build! Looks beautiful from every angle. Makes me want to build one. Thank you!
The work you are doing is amazing. Loved it.
Bravo Zac! Greetings from Italy!
Wow! Great job and great video quality. 👍🏻✨
Looks great man good job!
gotta show me the top mounted receiver. anything special for air flow? how is it mounted on the underside of the shelf? awesome job on the table. love it.
Very nice design and great examlle of your improvment as a craftman. Just if I am allowed to make a design observation, i'd add an inch or so to each side of the tabletop. The floating illusion in my opinion adds also an optical illusion where the top seems smaller than the legs width
Definitely making this table...Great job as always Zac!
Amazing man! You know the price though, when you make it you have to send me some pics!
@@ZacBuilds will do😎
You are impeccably Canadian and I love it lol. The philosophical moment at the end 👍🏾👍🏾
hahaha thanks man, a lot of people have tried to get me to start saying "praw-ject" but I dont think that's ever going to happen 😂
@@ZacBuilds lmmfao it would be too foreign for you lol. I just notice it easily because I'm in Buffalo, I hear it a lot lol
You could’ve cut a 45 on your existing saw just grab a piece of scrap timber cut it to the required 45° shut the saw back to 0 use the cut you just made as your guide for the workpiece set the sort of 15° and cut do you have a 60° angle hope that makes sense should save you some time in the future keep up the good work my man 👍
Good call! Wish you were there thar day haha
It looks great!!
I love retrospective videos like this, and it's obvious that you're better at planning ahead than you were a few years ago. BUT- I have a suggestion in the spirit of the last video of yours where you talk about the value of working smart rather than hard. When you glue your herringbones there's a point where you've done a few glue-up steps and the first glue-ups will be solid enough to work on. Cut the pointy end off perpendicular at that point in time and save it. When you've come far enough in the process that the "mouth" of your pattern is at the final lenght and you just need to fill up the rest of that gaping maw then you can just glue the cutoff into the gap. This will save you the time it takes for the remaining glue-up steps AND save on wood since that cutoff part will be reused.
Beautiful table...
Awesome Zac.
Zac I really enjoyed the table build. It is a nice improvement over the last table although the 1st one was nice as well. I like the floating top look! Really a nice blend of woods. I do a lot of blended wood pieces it really makes for a nice contrast with other furniture in your home.Congratulations on your new home! Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your content. Make it a great day buddy! 👊
Thanks man! Hugely appreciated and ya I love the blended look a lot too. It's just such a good way to add visual interest through contrast to your pieces. Hope you have a great Sunday!
Love this table...Great Job! but, I like the old one also...Hope you enjoy your new home! Thumbs Up!
Thanks Donnie! Maybe I was a bit hard on the old one haha, I do really like it as well. It served me well and continues to serve my friends well too. Cheers man!
You should always use a self etching primer over any chemically-cleaned, metal substrate.
Well said and very very nice table :D
Definitely always use primer first. You’d be correct in doing so. It will adhere better and longer
Great job 👌
love the video Zac, I think I like the new one a bit more.
Thank you so much!
Earned a new subscriber with this amazing build! Inspired to make one….or at least try haha
this is true when it comes to craftsmanship, but not true when it comes to art
Nice bro
Nice video and table.. you got New follower😊👍
This table arrived well packaged and on time. czcams.com/users/postUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
Did you consider doing the glue up on top of a backing board like plywood? Might help keep it flatter but then it wouldn't look as good from underneath
I did think about that, thats how a lot of herringbone tables are done, but I REALLY wanted that solid wood look.
@@ZacBuilds makes sense. Definitely an aesthetic choice and when you have a drum sander why not use it
Greetings from Malaysia!!! Love your vids keep up the good work!!!
Dude it is so crazy to me that people on the other side of the globe watch and enjoy my videos! Thank you so much Gavin, it means a lot to me!
You should heart this just because we share the same name. And you also spell it the only way it should ever be spelt. (ZAC)
Hell ya man! I feel bad for all those other Zacs out there who waste their time with needless letters!
@@ZacBuilds yeah. Like what good is a 'K' doing in our name.
Or *shudder an H!
Low key manly flex with the figure talk, I respect that.
suggestion for a tool to help you from anything walking whether its wood or metal is get a Automatic Center Punch
Appreciate the tip! I really should add one of those to the shop
@@ZacBuilds yea I use it a lot now, and it works great or when I am installing countersunk magnets.
I always clean my steel before cutting it. No link for the magnetic welding blocks?
Bro that's freaking awesome right there great video and that intro was awesome, i may come up this weekend and record my intro there 😆😁lol zac great video and build brother
Thanks Justin! I spent like a day filming the intro alone, wanted to try something a bit different haha. Really glad you liked it. I'll send you my new address :)
Awesome work on the beautiful table. Did you build the end table with the white flower pot. If so did you do a video?
I did ya! It's one of my earlier vids 👍
best work
Thanks Michael!
Hey Zac! Awesome table! Just wondering if you can provide a link to the magnetic angle gauge?
Thanks Anthony! There's a link in the video description to the store where they sell them as well as a discount code you can use. I always try to link the relevant tools I've used in the video description of all my videos
Nice build Zac, I have not painted any metal part for a while I have a fellow just around the corner that powder coats. If you don't mind were did you get those felt pad feet.
Nice attitude towards evaluating your past work and striving to do better while realizing that nothing will ever be perfect. I've also noticed that my greatest improvements can often be attributed to an improved tool arsenal (and better work space). The nice thing about woodworking is you can fix just about any mistake, but it sure is nice when your tools (or lack thereof) aren't a big source of those mistakes.
Around 19:55 it doesn't look like you allowed for wood movement. Is that not a concern?
Better tools make things easier for sure. If you're fighting your tools to get the results you want, it might be time to think about upgrading. I had to cut that part short because this video was getting a bit long, but I did allow for some wood movement in in screw holes. I over drilled the size of the holes so all the screws should have about 1/8" of free movement in any direction
Hey, New Subscriber from Germany here. Awesome build an videography. Will steel ideas and tips if you don't mind. Looking forward to check out your videos.
Looks awesome! Is it possible to make the legs in this design out of wood? I dont think i could weld anything
Definitely! I might make them a bit thicker because wood isn't quite as strong, but you could for sure achieve a very similar look!
for the maple why didn't you just use the sanded wood dust mixed with some tight bond? rather then trying to color match a custom wood filler. Great video, like the minimal tool usage.
Great Zak 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cheers brother! Thank you
Amazing work. What kind of wood do you use?
Thank you! It was walnut and maple I believe
Beautiful table Zac! Can you share design / dimensions?
Great video. Attention to detail follows through the build, filming, planning, writing and editing. Looking forward to your next video. Have you considered any sister channels? Maybe a Zac Films, or similar.
Thanks Charles! Maybe one day, but honestly I'm very new to filming, so I'm not sure I feel qualified haha. Everything I know about filming I learned from CZcams, so I feel like I'd just be making redundant content
Great video! Could you let us know what wall thickness of steel you used? 1/8"?
Thank you and yes this was all 1/8" steel
Great viveo, and great result, good job. And as to those minor imperfections: The Native Americans purposfully make an error in their works so that they do not Anger the spirits, or so I have been told.
Nice build.
Can I know the make and model of your planer?
Thanks! At that point I was using an older Delta unit, not sure what the model was, but ive since upgraded to the Dewalt DW735
@@ZacBuilds Thanks!
Hi Zac, Great Build!!!!
I'm not sure if you have answered this already but what was the finished table top dimensions?
Love your work
are you using 4/4? or a little larger like 6/4 thickness boards? solid table man!
might be a silly question but for the angles less than 45 would you not be able to use a wedge against the guard to achieve lower angle cuts?
Any issues with wood movement? I’m building a similar piece but am a bit nervous about it splitting with the two halves set to expand into each other
Sick fart at 18:14 😂
Damn, I need a table exactly like that, to sad that it's not mine 😞
