Elegant Design: Satin Black Entry Table with Camphor Laurel Drawer Front
I have been busy working on some big business projects behind the scenes, so I have not been building all that much lately, so come hang out in the factory with me and see what I've been up to with this latest completed project!
I completed this entry table over the course of 6 months or so. Not because it took that long - just because I have been working pretty hard on a business plan to expand my operation. If you are interested in more about this, please head to my website and join my newsletter to be first in the know.

Yup, this is what I’m doing until I’m ready to pull the $2k trigger on a 4-way wall mount clamp system. Thanks for the great idea. Very budget friendly for the time being.
@denisdelaquis1174 It definitely served it's purpose 😀 It would be nice to have an industrial size vertical system for large builds, but it does the job for the small stuff 👍🏻
Fantastic idea
机器人可以取代大部分工作
Good video, could you recommend a cheap laser engraver to use exclusively for engraving this type of tags please?
@AtarahWeb Unfortunately I haven't used many other lasers. If you are looking to engrave only and do no imagery, a cheap 50w - 100w Co2 laser would do the trick. I would look for a laser that had a control panel that could at least run "Lightburn" software. Standalone machine programs can be a pain.
@@mcdonoughdesign Thank you for your time
Hey man, love the video actually have a little clamping board video and yours shows up right after mine so I clicked on it. Great shop great video. Happy Woodworking to you man.
What do you use to get a clear coat shine to them?
Hi mate. That's just the way the blank stock is. I don't add any clear coat. I just buff them a little once they're done 👍🏻
Very cool MD, ticked over 1000 subs too!
Thanks man. Oh really? I haven't checked in a while. That's cool. 1000 was a goal of mine for last year. Better late than never hey? 🤣
👍👍👍
Awesome bro, I like the new style of vids
Thanks mate. Just trying some new things. Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏼
Yea its a really good idea , I've lost count how many clamps I've dropped and damaged through out the years
Outstanding. It's beautiful. Need more videos? More videos, more videos!
Thank you so much. I am trying to find the time to make some more videos...What type of videos would you like to see?
@@mcdonoughdesign I love to see pieces done with stringing lay and decorative inlay. I love that sort of thing.
Sorry ,,, string inlay
@thomaskuzia8125 Ah lovely stuff. I've not done too much inlay stuff but I might have to look into that 👍🏻
@@mcdonoughdesign I'll be 80 years old in May and I just started woodworking about four or five years ago. I love seeing the pieces with inlay and I made a few of my own. It's quite satisfying. Try it before you get too old. Lol
Where can I purchase a clamp wall
The clamps in this video are double clutch pipe clamps from Timbecon. I'll try do a link below. All the other bits and pieces were purchased from Bunnings. www.timbecon.com.au/torquata-double-clutched-pipe-clamp-pipe-included
Very Nice Man !!!!
Cheers mate. Does the job for what I needed it for 👍🏻
Brilliant idea 🎉
It did the job at the time with the space that I had 😀 was able to glue up a few coffee table tops 🤙🏼
genius!
I definitely didn't invent this type of system. I took the idea from some commercial setups I had seen and redesigned a "home use" clamp system. The idea of the T-section/pipe I hadn't seen before. Much smaller setup than the commercial ones I'd seen too. 👍🏻
Nice work.
Thank you 👍🏻
Nice. Good job. Greetings from Sweden. / Peter
Thanks Peter. Hello from Australia!
Cant hear a woed you said over thw stupid music
Now that is a unique build! 🤘
Yeah it was fun and unexpected 🤙🏼
Any lessons learned after 9months? How do you ensure the bottom clamp heads are all level to one-another?Glue drip catch feedback would be helpful, too. Thanks!
I use a spirit level to run along the bottom clamp heads to check they are all level. I run a length of brown wax cooking paper across the bottom ledge to catch the excess glue. The space saving aspect of the rack is definitely more of a positive than the accuracy. Everything I glue up has to go back through a thicknesser anyway, so it did the job for me. I have since moved into a commercial factory so I don't use it as much anymore. I still use the clamps but on our big glue up tables that are nice and flat. But it still comes in handy for the odd home project from time to time.
Hell yeah! Great idea - thanks 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed 🤙🏼
Back in high school we had to just mix up different colour tones until you got the right colour.
I remember those days 😄
I used Walrus Oil and then the Walrus Wax for two cutting boards i made and even days after it seems like oil is still seeping out of the wood. Is this normal? I used Cherry and Hard Maple.
I know timber that hasn't been properly milled and kiln dried it can push finishes out as it naturally tries to push moisture out. But I can't say I've used cherry or maple as a cutting board before so I cannot give you any more information about what might be occurring there sorry.
That's normal for mineral oil. It's a petroleum based product. I find it is useless as a chopping board oil and I can't understand why so many woodworkers still use it. And now this Walrus oil has taken off which is mainly just mineral oil. Useless stuff. Stays greasy. Especially in hot weather. It's all sales and marketing. A petroleum based product is not as natural as a plant based product in my opinion.
Brilliant mate, your craftsmanship is amazing.
Thanks legend. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
Thanks man. Trying to keep things a little simpler with the build videos.
These edits are getting better and better 👌
*Promo SM* 😜
Great idea for my small shop! Thanks so much for the video
No problem 👍🏻
Sorry mate that music ruined the vid even though it's a good looking workbench better luck next time
I think most devices these days come with a mute button. Maybe try that next time 😆 Thanks for the valuable comment, champ.
Been wondering if that thing was as good as it looked. The time saving alone vs resin would pay for the kit in a single project.
Yep definitely a time saver.
THANK YOU for posting this! Just yesterday I was thinking about this kit (and need it for a project), but wasn’t sure what it was called. This is perfect!
No problem!
Well done - love the bench - great tribute to your dad sir!
Thank you. I enjoyed making this one :)
Common garden variety hot glue guns recommend never pulling the glue stick out the back. A better option would be simply cut your coloured down to a length appropriate for the size of knot and then chase the coloured stick through the gun with a stick of cheaper rod in a clear plain colour, which could also be shortened so as to clear out the front quickly when going back to a coloured stick.
Turns out there's a better option. The kit actually comes with a cartridge saver...I stupidly thought this was just a little apparatus to hold spare sticks in, but it is actually a rubber/silicone mold that you can inject the unused filler into and it takes the shape of a new filler rod that can be reused at a later stage...I didn't realise this until the seller of the product reached out to me to explain :) No more waste from now on.
Looks great bro. And mistakes happen to all of us, i would have done the same with that center rail it was a great fix.
Thanks mate. Yeah I F things up all the time 😄
Great video, and this work bench is awesome. The use of the card scrapper for the epoxy, your glue up precisions all top notch. The video editing was pretty good too, hope it’s going well. New Subscriber here, and about to binge your videos when i have some more time. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated my man 🙏🏼
Very funny start to the video, and the rack looks awesome. Video is really good quality as well, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👀
Walrus oil is the best
It's very nice and affordable. I like the natural ingredients 👍🏻
Love the video and the final result. What would you recommend to engrave iron dog medals in terms of machine or process as a most affordable option?
Hi there - thanks for the question...unfortunately I have never lasered onto iron before. It is not a particular material that I have seen much use for in Co2 laser cutting. So any advice I would give would be a complete guess I'm afraid. I have seen other people have some success using fibre laser machines on ferrous metals but it is not something I have any experience with myself, nor have I seen much Co2 laser engraving on ferrous metals - I am sure someone out there has tried though...
Brilliant mate, that’s the coolest video I’ve ever seen.
Haha thanks mate 👍🏻
What laser watt & what material
That particular laser is an Epilog Helix 24 x 18 - 50Watt Co2 Laser. Material is stainless steel. Spray is "Laserbond"- www.lasersupplies.com.au/product/laserbond-100-all-purpose-aerosol-spray/
Really great project, thank you for sharing. I plan on using most of your concept for my custom rack system. Cheers~
Awesome 👍🏻
Price machine
They vary from country to country. The model I have is an Epilog Helix 50W 24" x 18" if you wanted to look them up.
Might wanna figure out the autofocus thing if this is to be your new gig.
Camera phone is all I had at the time mate and in poor lighting it was the best I could do with the resources I had.
Great build mate.
Thank you 👍🏻
That looks fantastic! 🤩
Hey Mr mcdonough Beenleigh misses you
The main thing here is if you think that this workbench is the ULTIMATE then that is great I do not see the being close to being the ULTIMATE compared to many others that have built brilliant workbenches.
Dad is diggin'' it, is what i thik.
Nice!
i have a question, i have a round dog tag, how do i make sure the tag is straight? is there any method to do it or i just have to trust my feelings? thanks
I have a circle silhouette template I use for those that has another little circle engraved in it to show where the keyring goes. I just line up the hole in the key tag with the circle engraved on the template. Hope that makes sense.
