I was SO pleased when you decided not to do the "canal" thing in the end. It sounded really neat when you described it but then when you showed that lovely piece of wood in situ I was talking to the TV saying " please leave it as it is, it's so perfect"!! Obviously you listened to me!! BTW you're doing an awesome job on the boat, it's going to look amazing.
It was amazing to watch you rehab this boat from launch to now! You have an incredible eye! The wood choices in each area are so beautiful! Looking forward to see how that table turns out!!!❤
Wow that is really nice and well worth the cost . Investments like that are what will make the boat a classic and it goes well with the wood work you have already done.. Stay safe...
In my opinion you've made the right choice.....I was shouting at the screen, don't ruin that beautiful piece of walnut! and hey presto it worked. Very nice James.
I agree that that table wood is too beautiful to put a canal into it. Maybe you can make a wall hanging /picture with that idea, like on the divider between the living room and the bedroom. Plenty of space.
I am so pleased you have chosen to keep it as it is, it would have been such a pity to spoil such a beautiful piece of wood by putting a canal down the middle of it
Caravans have a hydraulic lift table leg that might be a bit easier to adjust? Maybe a demo yard would offer a preloved one cheap although it may not suit the size and weight of your table top. Just a thought 👍
I forgot about the dinet as you was focused on a bedroom, i forgot how amazing it looked 😊😊 dude take as much time on this table, as you need like you did the galley. I would happily watch 10+ videos on the table alone it dose look sexy without anything on yet.
That is a stunning piece of wood and it will look amazing when you finished with it and I am a professional boater now on my holidays in September I fail in the canal out side the narrow boat inn and lost my phone but all good apart from a bad knee for about 5 weeks and still not right
If you file a little slot in both sections of the round aluminium pole (just enough, around 1mm, holes might actually may work better) just where it's to be clamped up to your preferred height; it would never slip. You'd need to mark the positions though so you can find them when raising the table. You'll never see the slots once all is in position. Just a suggestion for 'if' you run into issues with the 27kg weight limit, James.
When I saw the timber in place on the new Vetus pedestal, I was thinking "oh no" 😅 the canal idea was a good one but it would never match up to that timber on its own... As a suggestion, how about the canal stretch you were thinking of, but embroidered into the backrest cushions of the dinette? That would look pretty cool I think
When you said, "Canal Table" I'm envisioning a diorama of a canal with a small "pound" (1/4 of table length or less to end), with locks, maybe a walking bridge a tow path and some greenery on each bank and a Pub? No, I don't know how that could be done, but I hope you know an artist who would help you create something like I've described? ;-) After listening to your thinking, I'd say; "never mind". ;-D
That's a beautiful slab and will look stunning when finished. I would chamfer the edges instead of rounding though. Note: contrary to the name, Rubio Monocoat still works better when you apply at least two coats so you might as well use Osmo and do 3-4 coats (brushed or rolled, not wiped), the result will actually look better.
Hi James. Just oil the thing, I'm sure it'll look gorgeous. Some years ago, when I was still able to get out and about, I had a shotgun with American Walnut burr lock and stock. It was the most beautiful piece of wood I ever saw, especially when the sun caught it. It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. Crack on, mate. I think I'd concentrate a bit more on making it liveable. Eg. Kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Winter is almost upon us... Or are you planning on using SP until the new owner decides what they are doing with her? All the best.
@@sarkybugger5009 yeah walnut burr can be awesome - the stock for guns is using some of the finest timber in America I believe !! I’ll do more than oil her mate !! Yes luckily I’ll be able to use sloe patrol for the next few months so that’ll get me through the winter. Plumbing is pretty high on the list to do Hope alls well bud
Well, it may not be the first-ever canal table ever built. It definitely might be the most expensive narrow boat table ever built.😅 Regardless, I'm sure it will be brilliant.
Definitely do not make the table top to the weight limit of the adjustable leg. Gotta leave PLENTY of room for people leaning, food, and the occasional time when someone catches themselves from falling on the edge. Then there's the fact that you have to lift and adjust the table with all of the weight in place. There's a reason 99% of RV type tables are plywood or even honeycomb + laminate. Also those corners are a hospital trip waiting to happen!

So pleased you made the decision not to re model the walnut in to a canal. It is just perfect the way it is. Thanks James and take care.
@@christinegibbins6105 i was only going to put the canal on a plain piece but this is far too nice to alter
Thank goodness you're keeping the table as it is. That marking is so natural 😊
It was amazing to watch you rehab this boat from launch to now!

@@bwoodywoods thanks - I’m chuffed with it and with a darkish coloured dinette this will really stand out
Looks great James. Worth the investment. Buy cheap, buy twice.
@@bradleybolton3843 that’s what I thought
Outstanding choice for the table. The apparatus is worth the money and the top... wow.
@@williamwright7262 that’s kind of what I thought and if I can get it right then it’ll pay me back many times over as I use it use it everyday
Stunning piece of wood ! What ever you do get some who’s a professional to do the cushions mr James ! X
Great job capturing the whole process, enjoyed seeing that.
It will be gorgeous when stains on it. Leigh
Beautiful table James--gorgeous. Love that natural edge on the outside.
In my opinion you've made the right choice.....I was shouting at the screen, don't ruin that beautiful piece of walnut! and hey presto it worked. Very nice James.
Gorgeous piece of wood just perfect for the space ❤
The wood speaks for itself don't need no extras!
The table is going to look wonderful, can't wait to see the end result.
Will a single table support be enough? I can imagine getting up from the table and leaning on one side as you stand and pulling the screws out.
You will need to ensure the locking screws are facing away from the seat to avoid banging your legs on them.
Beautiful stuff. We had a church to renovate, as a church. The best advice was "Don;t be afraid to make it beautiful" That's going to be glorious.
I agree that that table wood is too beautiful to put a canal into it. Maybe you can make a wall hanging /picture with that idea, like on the divider between the living room and the bedroom. Plenty of space.
The boat is gettig better and better🎉
It looks absolutely beautiful - great choice James 😍

Oops; just heard how much it cost! Absolutely love it😊
James , that table top looks fabulous so sleek and sharp!
@@rubberdc thanks I think so too - going to striking once the polish is on

It's unique and looks right in the boat.

Lovely piece of wood, and a great leg, definitely worth adding a second leg though, 23kg is not much for a table. 🍻
That table top is beautiful!

So glad you're not adding a canal to the table it looks beautiful as is
@@pearlcarmichael622 yeah absolutely

Wow! Coolest table ever! x
great work boat looks well thanks lee
Leave the table alone. It's gorgeous as it is.
That's a beautiful slab and will look stunning when finished. I would chamfer the edges instead of rounding though.

Expensive old table that, but so worth it!
@@iainmacintyre3608 yep I know but I’m hoping for £700 and many hours I’ll have a wow piece onboard
Yay! Leave it natural, for sure. 🙂
lovely table James and the canal idea wouldn't of worked, keep the idea for use somwhere else.
@@lilesosannaflower9956 I might use it in the shower !!
Turn it around?

@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Not really, but you don't want to know... Trust me on that. 😉
man just wow
Well, it may not be the first-ever canal table ever built. It definitely might be the most expensive narrow boat table ever built.😅 Regardless, I'm sure it will be brilliant.
@@rickvangunten4800 I was thinking it’s gonna be up there with the most expensive tables to be on a narrowboat…..I quite like that
Looks good but are you not worried about those sharp corners?
@@narrowboatliving8241 I’ll be taking them off
Ouch on those edges if someone runs into it, otherwise lovely.
leave it, its beautiful as it is. i would just put a finish on it.
needs some c channel cut in underneath to stop it cupping - watch how blacktail studios does his
@@ACarpist I will be putting in c channels underneath just like cam does

Personally, I would not touch that piece of wood. It is perfect as it is. A really good stain is all it needs.
contrary to the other comments I think an 8 to 10mm wide canal map in black epoxy would look awesome
@@jeremywood2129 ah thanks - it would have done on a plainer piece of timber I reckon
@@TheNarrowboatThatJamesBuilt Try the canal idea on a smaller piece of oak that you can use somewhere else.
