    Started watching the teen woodworker, and now look at you. So nice to see talent grow and mature. Keep up the good work.

    *Much higher quality and color than I expected. Doesn't look so much like particle board **MyseIf.Furniture** Looks like a nice table. Works nicely. Can't attest to longevity as I just got it. But first impression s are great. Wife put it together*

    Do you sell plans to these hinges? I know that getting it just right must have been difficult, and I’m not sure I have the skill.

    very well done. i was planning to buy one, but after seeing the satisfaction on your face I thought " I'm going to build one (or try to build one) thanks for this

    Looks good. It was nice to see how you implemented the lift mechanism. I have a lift top coffee table (didn’t make it myself) and it is very handy.

    How's the hinges working out. I was thinking the threads on the bolts would chew through the mdf eventually. You could always put steel bushings in larger holes or get bolts with long smooth shoulders and cut to length.

    The proper name for them is four bar linkage, you can do some really cool things with them. Love how your table looks good in the closed and open modes.

  • @davewilliams355
    @davewilliams355 7 лет назад

    Well done young sir, tell me, is there a counter balance issue? So if you put your weight on it will it tip ?

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад

      +Dave Williams Thanks Dave! To my surprise it's quite stable. Yes, if you put your weight on the very edge it would tip as there is little counterbalance with this design. Having it stop not as far forward would've certainly helped, but I didn't want that.
      That said, for normal use it is fine and I haven't had any problems - I use it every day!

    • @davewilliams355
      @davewilliams355 7 лет назад

    @edwardholmes91 7 лет назад

    Very nice indeed Alex, it looks great as a coffee table and it's dual functionality is ingenious too!
    Working on a laptop on your lap is never a good thing. This looks just the right height and brings it closer to you too :)

  • @adencitydiy73

    Nice coffee table. there is a Q. Are you varnished or oiled the coffee table and how do you make it ????

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад

      +Aden City Thanks Aden! I applied 3 coats of "finishing oil", which I believe is a mixture of oils and resins. You should be able to see it in my first video. I then buffed that out lightly with some paste wax. Hope that helps!

    Great video Alex. I like that sanding jig. Is the table for yourself, or is it a gift?

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад +5

      +magicrobharv Thanks! The table is for myself as I desperately needed furniture for the new apartment I am living in! This dual function has come in really handy.

    • @magicrobharv
      @magicrobharv 7 лет назад +1

      ThisWoodwork Alex, you should make an update video. Are you still in University, have you graduated or close to graduation, are you living by yourself or with roommates? Some of us have been following your woodworking videos since you were doing them as the teen woodworker. An update video would put things in context. Keep the great videos coming!

    I like your rounding jig for the belt sander. How much does walnut cost in the UK? In the Seattle area it's about $15 or 11 pounds B/F.

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад

      Glad you could pick up something from the video! I couldn't give an exact figure but as a non-native specie, much more expensive unfortunately, as it is one of my favorite woods.

    Looks awsome if i didn't have kids I'd buy one but seriously too dangerous for the younger ones , fingers would be gone. Build in some twist protection and that's a good product

  • @JaimeZublick

    What kind of bolt is used? I can’t quite understand what is said. It sounds like “end ten” bolt and I can’t find anything on Google even phonetically close.

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  6 лет назад

      "M10" - A standard size metric bolt, nothing fancy, just use what you can find. Hope that helps.

    Really nice! For some reason, I hadn't expected you to make the mechanism. But there aren't many (affordable) options to buy here in the UK.
    Did you see an episode of the Great British Woodshop? ;-)

  • @Madscott
    @Madscott 7 лет назад

    Would a small gas shock work instead of springs?

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад

      +madscott That could be an interesting idea to explore. If you or anyone else tries it, I love to hear how you get on!

    Does it lock in place when raised?

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  7 лет назад

      +Heavyboxes DIY Master As the parallelogram is forward from vertical the weight acts to hold it in the raised position. That combined with the spring force serves as a pretty sufficient lock.

      This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?
