My dad is the kind of hero who deserves a table like this. He is the one who taught me a love for woodworking, and how to live all or nothing. He was in the Philippines, starting a couple halfway houses for drug users, another for battered women, and a home for abused/orphaned children. Unfortunately, due to medical complications, he was forced to retire a few years ago and come back to the states. Now he, and my mom, are having to move again and you just happen to be on the way about the time you are giving this away. Oh, and this is the guy that spent 80+ hours building a personalized wooden train, to scale, and then just gave it away (easily worth over $500 if not $1,000. If you agree that my hero, who has given so much to the world, deserves a chance at a table like this, please give this comment a like.
All or nothing. I’d nominate my coworker Delena and her family. They live in OK, and have had bad luck with tornadoes hitting their farm. Their kids are smaller, she and her hubby are “older” parents and live very humbly. This would be a huge gift of kindness to demonstrate that there are still MANY nice people who care and provide a lifelong reminder to the “young’ns that this was the table that started my lifelong acts of kindness and giving….if they get that, who knows, but I can always hope. Great video. Thanks
Okay - so I would like to nominate myself. Both my wife and I have been building and rebuilding homes since 1996. In 2000 we had a house fire and the lender took all the insurance to pay off the loan and we started with a burned out shell and using the « figure it out » on the weekend skills we built and raised three kids in time. Now in out our 50’s because of all the lack of money and over work - we are fully disabled. We would love to have this table. Please vote for us.
I am a firefighter in Southeast Texas for the past 13 years and Navy Reservist for almost 20 years. I am currently activated with the Navy to run a security program in Ft. Worth, Texas. I have been watching you for a while and love the work you do. Being separated from my wife and daughter for a year is tough, but this would be an awesome moral boost for my wife! I could make it to OKC to pick it up! *all or nothing!!
If you don't mind me asking what's your rate? I retired as a STG1. Oh, stay hydrated. That Texas heat ain't no joke, especially if you're doing any sort of outdoor security work :)
“All or Nothing”! Great work Jonny! Thank you for your service! Fellow Veteran - so I love how creative you were with this gorgeous table. It’s a work of art! Thank you for having the guts to “ just do it” any mistakes made will certainly help you grow! As for the person who wins this table- I hope they love and appreciate it. Semper Fi
I would like to nominate my older sister who lives in OKC. She is a single mom who has been kicked down by life numerous times. I think this table would fit her story perfectly, a work of art with imperfections, but with time and patience has been stitched together to be strong, resilient, and unique!
I’m a newbie here and I don’t know anything about what you do but I am fascinated by how you turn out such beautiful pieces. You are honest about your missteps and you don’t give up. I am a home crafter and have had my share of mistakes, have been tempted many times to just toss it in the trash but it bothers me so much that I can’t relax until I figure out what went wrong and figure out how to fix it. As far as you narratives, I find your explanations informative and enjoy your stories.
I want to nominate my wife. She has always wanted a custom table. She is a pancreatic cancer survivor. And since she was diagnosed we have had 2 beautiful children. But as we still have many medical bills and still have many follow up appointments me purchasing a custom table is not in the cards. I am blessed to still have her and my 2 boys but this would be a dream come true we both watch your videos and are amazed
I could spend hours looking at the textures and patterns from both the patches and the stitches. While I've never been scuba diving, I love snorkeling, it's the most relaxed and peaceful I've ever felt. Dont ever stop chatting on your videos, I love it! All or nothing!
I want to nominate my mom and dad. Having raised four kids, they sacrificed so much to provide for us. One thing that was always consistent in our home growing up was family dinner at the dinner table. It’s one of my fondest memories. Now, they have 4 kids and 4 grandkids (and counting) and need a bigger table for us all to fit at the dinner table for family time. This table would fit that perfectly. I live in the OKC metro area and love that we have such a creative youtube channel right in our backyard. Love the content! All or nothing!
Great work. I am an organ builder in Kent (UK) with 20+ years experience and, regarding things going wrong, sometimes no matter how hard you try, things will go wrong. Sometimes your mind maybe somewhere else, or too many things in the head or you just need another coffee. The point is that we are only humans and mistakes will happen. The good thing about working with wood is that, generally, there is a (creative) solution for mistakes. Other times you have to live with them and admit that nobody is perfect. There is another thing about mistakes, some people admit them and even tell others and there are the ones that do not tell anyone, but still in the same position than the others. This is my experience.
I want to nominate my brother in law and sister. They live in Yukon and work hard to take care of my nephew and niece. My brother in law works 12 to 16 hour days in construction and then anytime he's off spends it spoiling my sister and the kids.
I would like to give this table to my pop, he is a 26 year army vet and is the only person in this world that i would drop everything for. He truly is the best person i know, willing to break himself to better everyone around him. Also in Enid oklahoma, all or nothing.
I am a retired Nurse who used to work in Intensive Care. The unfortunate thing about Intensive Care is that I always talked to the patients (even if they were unconscious), but most of them could not respond. You asked about whether people enjoyed your commentary. I for one absolutely love it. It’s so nice to get somebody talking to you instead of the other way around. Plus, your information is just enjoyably interesting.!! ❤❤
Of every video I have seen, I generally like 90% of your work. I will say that I liked the innovation and the way you built the “stitches” that you used. So good job. I applaud you for giving away the table to one of your supporters too. 🖤 much love
All or nothing, would love to have this table! Our new home will be done in a month and this would be the perfect addition for our kitchen nook! And I live 2 hours from you! Great work, beautiful inlays.
Appreciate your 'all or nothing' approach. I learned to dive, became a commercial diver and got >3000 hours underwater before barely ever diving again. And I ran >3 miles a day for 12 1/2 years before stopping last October. Love your work and your channel. Sadly not in a place to pick up your table but really like it. Much respect.
I nominate myself!! Although I cannot say “ I deserve” anything, I can argue that my love of art in any form is what keeps me going!!! I have, like you, used my ADHD, to allow me to learn ( and obsess) pottery, glass work ( fused and stained) upholstery, painting with oil, acrylic and I realized it’s just from my love of color and uniqueness. I’ve taken that love of color and switched to pastry art where I’ve been able to use on a large scale for charity work and donating back to my community. I’m sure there are others that will have a more completing story so, I would nominate those folks as well. Thanks for your art, ability to ramble (effectively to keep people engaged) and entertainment. The patches are art and personality! All or nothing
I'm just in the process of coming to terms with an ADHD diagnosis at 40(nearly). I wish I could put my hyper focus to good use but kids and living on disability benefits (husband's) means that I can only obsess over other people's good work
Veteran, business owner, and lover of woodworking. Regardless of status at the end, your work is amazing, and thank you for showing us how to do all of this. I love the work and look forward to learning more techniques to do myself.
All or nothing I'd love to have this table. I'm able to pick it up myself. I'm a USAF vet and a recent Grandpa. I'm also a hobbyist woodworker and could use this to reference for learning purposes. Plus, I could donate the current table I have to my young daughter and her husband and new baby.
This table is absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of your art and skill. I am typically all-or-nothing in my hobbies -- knit, crochet, cross-stitch, etc.. Currently, I've rediscovered my love of counted cross-stitch. The last time I worked one, the technology was very different. Now, I'm really enjoying the parts I always loved -- and how the tech has helped me with the 'boring stuff'. Keep doing you 'cause I like what you do!
All or nothing! I would like to nominate myself. I’m a retired Sheriffs Deputy after 31 years. I’m currently going through a divorce and my other half took the kitchen table. My kids and friend hate the trailer hood table I picked up to get by. I now work in a Treatment Court as a case manager and am always saying, “Trust the Process” because I believe it! I would love a road trip to OKC! Thanks for the inspiration try something outside the box!
I'm a 75 year old woman who is a nut about making things with wood. I have been doing this for over 25 years. I have built so many projects, and refinished so many damaged wood items. My husband when he was alive loved to watch me do all these things. I made a lot of mistakes, but it did not stop me. You have a great imagination and it shows in your work.
In 1970, I build my mom a Sewing Machine Cabinet for her very old Singer Sewing Machine. My shop teacher helped me get it “Perfect”. My mom is now 92 y/o & still has it. It was made out of Mahogany & it is still beautiful.
All or nothing. I’m a trucker I’m away from home a lot and since I’m away I don’t get to sit and enjoy a nice meal and truly would inspire me to sit and relax and cook a homemade meal when I’m home. Plus would be good for the money magic the gathering games me and my friends have.
My friend Corrina Heady that lives in Rattan, Ok is so deserving to win this table. She lost her husband 2 years ago and has been struggling to raise her 2 daughters alone. She is an amazing mother and could definitely use this table
I am nominating my grandpa for this table. My grandpa was the one who taught me the craft of wood working. He learned from his dad in their backyard barn shop long before I was born. His dad has recently passed but he’s carried on in working on their projects together while teaching me in the process. He’s given me so much in terms of support and encouragement for developing my skills and I’d love to build them a dining room table to say thanks. Until I have the ability to build one myself this would be a truly amazing option! All or Nothing, In addition we live in Tulsa OK and could pick the table up within an hour!
At first, I was like... he talks about as much as I do! Oddly, I find it comforting that someone else is doing all the talking. And you make good sense. I like that. good job on the table! I hope whoever gets it has many happy years at that table! You have a new sub! I look forward to more rambling videos!
Here goes all or nothing. I too have been a runner all my life (though my knees will no longer allow that affectation), but now a retired small medical practice administrator, ex-military & commercial pilot, ex-bank loan officer, I am forced to take on two part time jobs just to make ends meet. I nominate ME:) - even though I suspect there are other people responding who may be more deserving. I started my first-time-in-my-life hobby, woodworking, when I retired. I told my wife I would build our first ever formal dining table, but I am not even able to afford the wood. Bummer. We have the room for it, and I can pick it up myself. You're a joy to watch, and I am grateful to all the woodworking RUclipsrs who have the wherewithal to teach me the things I can use as a novice.
All or nothing! Your journey of trying new things reminds me of myself. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 50’’s. LOVE the stitches & all of your projects. I really enjoy your design process.
Hello. From Lawton Oklahoma. I nominate my Mother in law Susan. She just moved here permanently and sad to say she lost quite a bit of furniture. Dining table included. She lives alone and this would be perfect for her new apartment. Thanks for the opportunity for this. I myself could pick it up as I’m only 80 miles away. 🙏🏽
Jonny That looks beautiful. I like the fact that you talk to the people, admit mistake(s), ; but you relentlessly move forward in truly making beautiful pieces of furniture. For that and I have to admit I'm very particular on who I subscribe to, you won my subscription. Just remember, DO NOT FORGET THE PEOPLE. The reason I say that is because some other wood workers (Bourbonmouth) on RUclips get to big for the britches and forgot where they came from. God Speed and Keep Making America Great!
I'm personally not a fan of the look, but fully acknowledge that people like different things. That said, I have a friend in OK that would definitely appreciate it. This man, whom I've never met physically, has been an incredible inspiration in my own life. He's what I would call a "starving actor" (though I think he's doing well enough that, with supplemental income, he's getting by). But I know how much time and effort he puts into pursuing his passion, often to the detriment of a comfortable lifestyle. If there's anybody I know that could use something like this, and would appreciate it for the time, effort, and passion that went into it, it would be him. You're both all or nothing kind of people.
All or nothing :)! I want to give my wife this table. Her dad is a woodworker, and if I had more time I would aspire to be one, but this table is beautiful. Cheers to whomever wins :)! Great work!
I nominate Cookie monster. He has all those cookies but no table to eat them at and this table would be perfect all the crumbs could go down the middle and no one would be the wiser. If you two would like to see Cookie monster win give it a big thumbs up.🍪🍪🍪
Listening to how your hobbies have engulfed your life as you spend years with one and then another. I can not imagine what it might be like to have the money to live the way you do. I'm blown away by your woodcraft skills as well! Having time to love what you do and the money to pursue it would blow my mind. I'm so happy for you!
I would love for my wife to have this table. She just has a surgery, spending a lot of time at home, and this would bring some great joy to our family to see this everyday. We live locally in OKC so this just seems meant to be. All or nothing
All or nothing!!! Been watching you for a long time and one of the main reasons when I'm looking for my first house to buy to make sure i have room for a wood shop!! You inspire me to broaden my ideas and see where i could take them!! Indiana wants to consider me disabled due to me being deaf and born without any ears and im required to wear a special cochlear. Multiple surgeries to get where I'm at and i wont allow it to take control of my life and by doing so, I'm a union carpenter local 301 and just love to use my hands!!! Winning this table would be a huge boost in to achieving my goal with our first home and being able to make things a reality!! Oh and btw, my wife bought a temu type of dinning room table and lets just say its over due for a new one!!!
I’d love to see a video of the oven build! I find watching all of these processes incredibly fascinating. I also have the habit of taking up and obsessing over new hobbies. In my case that’s mostly due to ADHD, but I don’t mind it!
great build… Your channel really resonated with me, especially this episode. My wife also tells me I’m 90 or nothing-“all or nothing”-so I can completely appreciate your hobby obsession. Also, up here in Tulsa. Its nice to see someone representing Oklahoma so well! Props.
Nice one, four months ago a youtuber called "Olivier Gomis" done a no epoxy table called " No Epoxy Required" using the same stitches technique, and it was really amazing one.
There are so many people make tables and furniture on RUclips, that do things differently than you, if someone doesn't like what you do honestly they can watch something else. I personally enjoy your talking and story telling. Great repair job I love the patchwork and stitching. All or nothing 👍
I am in two minds about the table. I think it looks lovely - the joins, the contrast between the different species, the gap in the middle providing visual interest. It's just a gorgeous piece of woodworking that obviously took a lot of time and skill to create. Still, despite your incredibly convincing demonstration, I've had a dining table before that had a middle section with slatted wood and it drove me crazy. The ones on my table were much smaller and plates definitely couldn't be tossed through but it was just frustrating as it reduced the usable area. That could just be a me-thing, I don't know. But that table is in my garage now :D I did watch the whole vid - all or nothing - and I hope you find a happy home for this table. I've upvoted a few of the nominations. Good luck to all who are hoping to recieve this very generous gift.
I don’t have a crazy story to share. I do, however, have a broken dining table (well, broken chairs), and I just had twin baby girls 3 weeks ago! So no table will likely be able to be purchased for a while. 😂 love your work and your attitude! All or nothing!
I’m moving my office to a new location. This table would be perfect for my meetings. I’ll put a think custom glass over the top. Great conversation piece. Let’s go! All or nothing! Like it 👍🏼 🤞🫵🏻
Please. It's beautiful. I love seeing all of these people saying that "someone else" important to them deserves to have it. The whole project has that spirit, so serious respect and props to you and the people nominating potential winners. I mean, that is a killer table!
All or nothing ,I would love to NOT be selfish but I gotta nominate myself. I am getting a military retirement after 16 years in the Army. I have been a government employee for 13 years, and I have never one anything this would be an amazing retirement present and would be great to replace our $80 Amazon table. I could picture my wife and I entertaining on this with the family, great video as usual!
All or nothing... I am not a wood worker nor a maker of any sort, I just love watching yt wood working as that's what I've always wanted to do in life. Maybe one day hey. Keep up the great builds mate. And yes I enjoy people chatting about the subject in their vids. It keeps me listening and entertained. Thank you.
I would like to nominate my daughter. She moved to Oklahoma city and has a seven month old child. Her and her boyfriend are trying to make a new life 10 hours away from their families. For a young couple to try to start off on their own and struggle. This will be a nice gift for them. Thank you for any likes. God bless.
"All or Nothing" I really enjoyed that you shared the amount of detail you did in your efforts to rework that table. It was nice to learn more about you, too. The end result is beautiful. Sorry the purple heart didn't work out for you since you really wanted it to, but I'm in the cottonwood club. 😎
0h my goodness! I don’t have a great story, I’d just love to own this table! I’m moving into a townhome next month, and my theme is ‘artistic and modern’. I can’t image a better piece to start this journey. I’m a 63 year old lifetime artist and amateur woodworker. This table is a dream piece to me. Lisa
I nominate myself! I don’t have a table because of a recent move. I am in Tennessee and I will pick it up. 5 kids, active duty Army for 22 years. I made my last table and it didn’t make the move…
All or Nothing - This was amazing, thank you Johnny for making this video I really enjoyed the uncut process of the build process. Seeing your mistakes and how you adapt was the best part. This is one of the best tables I have ever seen I would have loved to nominate myself for the table but I live in Canada so I fail the first rule you put up. Thanks again
"All or nothing" After reading the comments before mine I couldn't possibly nominate myself. There are so many deserving folks I don't envy you having to choose. My family and I love watching your videos. Just keep it up. All the best
"All or nothing" - Great stories! Tinker AFB was the best assignment due to the people. I was a k-9 handler and also state state-certified and worked for Midwest City PD. The wife and I were supposed to be in the SSN administration office during the bombing but had to reschedule due to our move-on-base date changing. I have three years until I retire from Law Enforcement. I run a non-profit for kids and teach them mountain biking skills and how to repair them. I love building projects but have little time between work and my non-profit. We just remodeled our house and I have been looking for a table. That would look awesome in my house. Also, I will be in OKC in August and would be able to pick it up. Please like my post the most!
It’s all or nothing when I watch your videos. I’m not as obsessed as you but I respect ppl like you. Such passion and drive. Your content is great and your humor is even greater 🥴 love your channel. Keep talking bc that’s why I’m here. This was beautiful
I'm not sure if i love it or hate it, but i do appreciate the artistry of it and the pure amount of work that has gone into making it! God, im getting old.
All or nothing. I've watched your videos before, but this video's "ramblings" got me to subscribe. There is a lot of wisdom to gain through life, and finding those common threads is where you find the truth.
I am due to retire from the Navy after 25 years in November. My wife is a 100% disabled veteran. We would love a custom table when we get a house in Texas! I have a daughter in OKC that can pick up!
I have only used purpleheart a few times, and love how it looks. but in those few times I have broken more than a reasonable number of tools on it. I know that a lot of people won't like your idea for the stitches, but you can't please everyone. good on you for following through on your plan. I think it looks great. I would really like to have this table, but I can't follow rule #1. I am a disabled vet living in far norther California, and I dont even have a vehicle to carry my wheelchair, little own a truck to haul that beautiful table home. so Grats to who ever does win it. all or nothing.
Love the stitches! ❤️ Would like the patches better if they were more organic forms, but i like them WAY better than the dark ones from the first build. It’s a beautiful table and someone is going to be very blessed indeed to receive it 💕
USMC and Iraqi war vet and woodworker in DFW area. Also, I have never pooped in the woods on a run. 😂. ALL OR NOTHING!! I would like to nominate myself, Clinton Tuggle. I watch all of your videos and try to replicate what I can.
Another quirky thing about purple heart wood is it browns over time. I made some cutting boards one Christmas early on in my woodworking journey for friends and family and they have browned ugly. Love your builds and your stories, makes my day. I have a friend who runs marathons and this thing here in Utah called the Moab on the rocks, Ragnar and other ultra-marathons. He has shared similar stories with me, makes me laugh and he can't understand why. I have tried to explain that there is a 13 year old boy trying to get out of me every chance he gets. anyway, love what you do and thoroughly enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing your time and talent!
I do wish I had some of the tools you have, but more that that I wish I had more time in my life to do more of what you're doing. I'm 67 years old and because of some terrible life choices, and Covid to boot, I'm just now trying to set up my fourth wood shop and hopefully this time it will stay open long enough to really enjoy working in. So, I encourage everyone not to get old because it comes fast if you're not paying attention and really screws up your life plans.
I nominate myself! I don’t have a table because of a recent move. I am in Tennessee and I will pick it up. 5 kids, active duty Army for 22 years. I made my last table and it didn’t make the move… oh and I was born in Oklahoma!
ALL OR NOTHING!!! I am a huge fan of your work and I am nominating one of the coolest people I have ever met (who lives in OK) and had the honor of serving with with. I nominate my old patrol partner Maegan Smith. She was police officer for 10+ years (OK AND WA) but more importantly my partner for many of those years. She is one of the most selfless, giving people I have ever met and I look up to her so much more than she will ever know. She is no longer a LEO because of a medical incident that she went through, which sadly stopped her career short. Maegan is a survivor of breast cancer and a true hero. Since I have known Maegan, she has put others before herself and continues to do so. I wish I could give her the world because she deserves it.
I am the widow of a retired Navy Chief. His body gave out and he passed on August 2, 2022 at home unexpectedly. I am still in the process of reworking my home. I would be honored for this beautiful table to be a focal point in my home. By the way, would you be interested in a Black Walnut tree that came down two months ago. All or nothing! Really, you wiped out the reassurance of nothing falling through by the last thing you left us with a plate breaking!
You really go all or nothing. Beautiful table, great story-telling, you certainly earned the subscription! Now let me binge through your videos for an ungodly amount of time.
When I was a child, my grandfather crafted a table that became the heart of our home. This giveaway table would rekindle that warmth and legacy in my own family.
For 26 years, I served the Air Force as a Crew Chief of A-10 Warthogs. Both the aircraft and I will be retired soon. Through six deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I defended our nation and would like to think touched countless lives, embodying the true spirit of honor and resilience. I’m a huge fan of your channel, and I would love to surprise my wife, who is also a huge fan, with this super cool table.
When drilling metal with HSS drill bits, the rpm is most important. Today’s hand drills really suck for this purpose. But for any of your basic structural steel the Cutting Speed to use is 60. For most stainless steels the Cutting Speed to use is 30. The formula is 4xCS/diameter. So the tube steel that you were using requires 60CS so 240/@.375”=640 rpm. Most brushless motor drills in low gear and full trigger turn 500 rpm. But a 25% reduction in rpm is good to keep the drill bits from burning up. As long as the pressure applied is sufficient to keep the bit cutting the metal out. The amount of oil needed for that size hole in that size steel is actually only one drop. I do apologize for wasting your time if this info is not needed and I apologize for making such a long comment. I do hope this helps and that you appreciate. Thankyou for your videos.
I am a CDL instructor here in okc. I work anywhere from 6 to 7 days a week. I am also a single parent who takes care of my daughter and my granddaughter full time. And to be honest, I despise eating in the living room. Being a single parent on a limited income, buying a table just hasn’t been in the cards. If I get picked, the table will definitely get used and will be loved. Even if I don’t get it, I will be grateful of any votes and thankful for the work that you do and the content you put out. Oh, yeah, and….all or nothing!
Love the table. All or nothing is a great model. Working on tattoo for wife working on masters. Drawing up own for her that highlights “YOU GOT THIS!” Keep up great work. I like the thoughts while your building as well.
I want to nominate my wife. She loves all these custom built tables and we could never afford one. We have had the same wood table she got in a divorce 15 years ago. So needless to say I would like to see it go. We live in north Texas so pick up won't be an issue. Like my comment if you see fit.
I grew up in Leadville CO, and I remember the trail 100 being a big thing every year. In fact my dad worked for the college there in the communication department, and covered one of the runners like a reporter would. I remember him telling me what a challenge it was to run next to him with a big camera on his shoulder. There mountains there in Colorado are no joke, most of the highest peaks in the country are right there near Leadville. My dad and grandpa would take me hiking in those mountains, and I was able to summit several of the 14ers in Colorado. Anyway, loved your attention to detail, and hearing about your many hobbies. Looking forward to more!
Jonny; I love the video. Great job. I liked the table before you cut it down, however you did a great job reworking it. You have a great looking shop. I spent half the video admiring your tools and equipment.
I know this wont happen. I am from Poland, and I absolutly love your work and tables and it is a dream to have a Desk made by you. I have schematic for it. its nice to have dreams sadly it wont happen
I love beautiful, exotic woods as many people do. I love the idea of incorporating some thing, rare, or expensive/hard to get into your common place and every day. You’ll never be able to have a full dining table made of Purple Heart. But you can have this piece that ties the two together and makes a wonderful metaphor for everyone to talk about over dinner. I like the bowties. They’re smart and kind of dorky.
I'm gonna nominate my parents, we live in a small town in South-Western Ontario. She's an officeworker, he's a programmer, and we've been living with the same dining room set for over 18 years. They're both good people who love they're families very much
I want to nominate my friend Stephanie. She's a teacher in Oklahoma and has been working hard for over a decade with the goal of buying her own house with her husband. They finally pulled it off recently, and closed on their first house. This table would be an amazing housewarming gift, they live in Oklahoma, and she wouldn't otherwise be able to afford amazing things like this easily. All or nothing!
for me it's just about watching makers make cool shit. i don't really care if it's my taste or not. i wouldn't choose a table like this but that doesn't mean i can't admire the work that went into making it. nice work dude.
All or nothing. My boyfriends parents are the most deserving people. They are the most loving, accepting, supportive people I've ever met. My kids and I are so lucky to be a part of their lives. Between adopting animals, taking care of family, handling stress better than anyone I ever imagined anyone able to(and there has been A LOT of it, especially this past year), singing their chickens to sleep, working on everyone's vehicles during downtime, canning all kinds of things just to give them away... They're just phenomenal people. I wish everyone had someone in their lives like them. It's felt like home since the first time I walked in their door, and I always look forward to my biweekly trip to jersey to see them.
My dad is the kind of hero who deserves a table like this. He is the one who taught me a love for woodworking, and how to live all or nothing.
He was in the Philippines, starting a couple halfway houses for drug users, another for battered women, and a home for abused/orphaned children.
Unfortunately, due to medical complications, he was forced to retire a few years ago and come back to the states. Now he, and my mom, are having to move again and you just happen to be on the way about the time you are giving this away.
Oh, and this is the guy that spent 80+ hours building a personalized wooden train, to scale, and then just gave it away (easily worth over $500 if not $1,000.
If you agree that my hero, who has given so much to the world, deserves a chance at a table like this, please give this comment a like.
All or nothing. I’d nominate my coworker Delena and her family. They live in OK, and have had bad luck with tornadoes hitting their farm. Their kids are smaller, she and her hubby are “older” parents and live very humbly. This would be a huge gift of kindness to demonstrate that there are still MANY nice people who care and provide a lifelong reminder to the “young’ns that this was the table that started my lifelong acts of kindness and giving….if they get that, who knows, but I can always hope. Great video. Thanks
I hope this is the winner. Farmers need all the help they can get, and that sounds brutal to be hit by multiple tornadoes.
This is so sweet❤
Okay - so I would like to nominate myself. Both my wife and I have been building and rebuilding homes since 1996. In 2000 we had a house fire and the lender took all the insurance to pay off the loan and we started with a burned out shell and using the « figure it out » on the weekend skills we built and raised three kids in time. Now in out our 50’s because of all the lack of money and over work - we are fully disabled. We would love to have this table. Please vote for us.
All or nothing
I am a firefighter in Southeast Texas for the past 13 years and Navy Reservist for almost 20 years. I am currently activated with the Navy to run a security program in Ft. Worth, Texas. I have been watching you for a while and love the work you do. Being separated from my wife and daughter for a year is tough, but this would be an awesome moral boost for my wife! I could make it to OKC to pick it up!
*all or nothing!!
If you don't mind me asking what's your rate? I retired as a STG1. Oh, stay hydrated. That Texas heat ain't no joke, especially if you're doing any sort of outdoor security work :)
You have my vote! You should win! Good luck.
@@tattootempestMA1(EXW). Thank you for your service.

You have my vote!
“All or Nothing”! Great work Jonny! Thank you for your service! Fellow Veteran - so I love how creative you were with this gorgeous table. It’s a work of art! Thank you for having the guts to “ just do it” any mistakes made will certainly help you grow! As for the person who wins this table- I hope they love and appreciate it. Semper Fi
I would like to nominate my older sister who lives in OKC. She is a single mom who has been kicked down by life numerous times. I think this table would fit her story perfectly, a work of art with imperfections, but with time and patience has been stitched together to be strong, resilient, and unique!
Did she win?
I’m a newbie here and I don’t know anything about what you do but I am fascinated by how you turn out such beautiful pieces. You are honest about your missteps and you don’t give up. I am a home crafter and have had my share of mistakes, have been tempted many times to just toss it in the trash but it bothers me so much that I can’t relax until I figure out what went wrong and figure out how to fix it. As far as you narratives, I find your explanations informative and enjoy your stories.
I want to nominate my wife. She has always wanted a custom table. She is a pancreatic cancer survivor. And since she was diagnosed we have had 2 beautiful children. But as we still have many medical bills and still have many follow up appointments me purchasing a custom table is not in the cards. I am blessed to still have her and my 2 boys but this would be a dream come true we both watch your videos and are amazed
I could spend hours looking at the textures and patterns from both the patches and the stitches. While I've never been scuba diving, I love snorkeling, it's the most relaxed and peaceful I've ever felt. Dont ever stop chatting on your videos, I love it! All or nothing!
I want to nominate my mom and dad. Having raised four kids, they sacrificed so much to provide for us. One thing that was always consistent in our home growing up was family dinner at the dinner table. It’s one of my fondest memories. Now, they have 4 kids and 4 grandkids (and counting) and need a bigger table for us all to fit at the dinner table for family time. This table would fit that perfectly. I live in the OKC metro area and love that we have such a creative youtube channel right in our backyard. Love the content!
All or nothing!
I nominate your mom and dad too ❤
Family over everything. You can never replace a homemade meal at a table. This is becoming more rare to see today but I hope you win to keep it going!
Great work. I am an organ builder in Kent (UK) with 20+ years experience and, regarding things going wrong, sometimes no matter how hard you try, things will go wrong. Sometimes your mind maybe somewhere else, or too many things in the head or you just need another coffee. The point is that we are only humans and mistakes will happen. The good thing about working with wood is that, generally, there is a (creative) solution for mistakes. Other times you have to live with them and admit that nobody is perfect. There is another thing about mistakes, some people admit them and even tell others and there are the ones that do not tell anyone, but still in the same position than the others. This is my experience.
I want to nominate my brother in law and sister. They live in Yukon and work hard to take care of my nephew and niece. My brother in law works 12 to 16 hour days in construction and then anytime he's off spends it spoiling my sister and the kids.
I would like to give this table to my pop, he is a 26 year army vet and is the only person in this world that i would drop everything for. He truly is the best person i know, willing to break himself to better everyone around him. Also in Enid oklahoma, all or nothing.
I am a retired Nurse who used to work in Intensive Care. The unfortunate thing about Intensive Care is that I always talked to the patients (even if they were unconscious), but most of them could not respond.
You asked about whether people enjoyed your commentary. I for one absolutely love it. It’s so nice to get somebody talking to you instead of the other way around. Plus, your information is just enjoyably interesting.!! ❤❤
As someone who has seen how hard nurses work you have my vote
Of every video I have seen, I generally like 90% of your work. I will say that I liked the innovation and the way you built the “stitches” that you used. So good job. I applaud you for giving away the table to one of your supporters too. 🖤 much love
All or nothing, would love to have this table! Our new home will be done in a month and this would be the perfect addition for our kitchen nook! And I live 2 hours from you! Great work, beautiful inlays.
Appreciate your 'all or nothing' approach. I learned to dive, became a commercial diver and got >3000 hours underwater before barely ever diving again. And I ran >3 miles a day for 12 1/2 years before stopping last October. Love your work and your channel. Sadly not in a place to pick up your table but really like it. Much respect.
I nominate myself!! Although I cannot say “ I deserve” anything, I can argue that my love of art in any form is what keeps me going!!! I have, like you, used my ADHD, to allow me to learn ( and obsess) pottery, glass work ( fused and stained) upholstery, painting with oil, acrylic and I realized it’s just from my love of color and uniqueness. I’ve taken that love of color and switched to pastry art where I’ve been able to use on a large scale for charity work and donating back to my community.
I’m sure there are others that will have a more completing story so, I would nominate those folks as well. Thanks for your art, ability to ramble (effectively to keep people engaged) and entertainment. The patches are art and personality!
All or nothing
I'm just in the process of coming to terms with an ADHD diagnosis at 40(nearly). I wish I could put my hyper focus to good use but kids and living on disability benefits (husband's) means that I can only obsess over other people's good work
Veteran, business owner, and lover of woodworking. Regardless of status at the end, your work is amazing, and thank you for showing us how to do all of this. I love the work and look forward to learning more techniques to do myself.
All or nothing I'd love to have this table. I'm able to pick it up myself.
I'm a USAF vet and a recent Grandpa. I'm also a hobbyist woodworker and could use this to reference for learning purposes. Plus, I could donate the current table I have to my young daughter and her husband and new baby.
This table is absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of your art and skill. I am typically all-or-nothing in my hobbies -- knit, crochet, cross-stitch, etc.. Currently, I've rediscovered my love of counted cross-stitch. The last time I worked one, the technology was very different. Now, I'm really enjoying the parts I always loved -- and how the tech has helped me with the 'boring stuff'. Keep doing you 'cause I like what you do!
All or nothing! I would like to nominate myself. I’m a retired Sheriffs Deputy after 31 years. I’m currently going through a divorce and my other half took the kitchen table. My kids and friend hate the trailer hood table I picked up to get by. I now work in a Treatment Court as a case manager and am always saying, “Trust the Process” because I believe it! I would love a road trip to OKC! Thanks for the inspiration try something outside the box!
I'm a 75 year old woman who is a nut about making things with wood. I have been doing this for over 25 years. I have built so many projects, and refinished so many damaged wood items. My husband when he was alive loved to watch me do all these things. I made a lot of mistakes, but it did not stop me. You have a great imagination and it shows in your work.
In 1970, I build my mom a Sewing Machine Cabinet for her very old Singer Sewing Machine. My shop teacher helped me get it “Perfect”. My mom is now 92 y/o & still has it. It was made out of Mahogany & it is still beautiful.
All or nothing. I’m a trucker I’m away from home a lot and since I’m away I don’t get to sit and enjoy a nice meal and truly would inspire me to sit and relax and cook a homemade meal when I’m home. Plus would be good for the money magic the gathering games me and my friends have.
My friend Corrina Heady that lives in Rattan, Ok is so deserving to win this table. She lost her husband 2 years ago and has been struggling to raise her 2 daughters alone. She is an amazing mother and could definitely use this table
I am nominating my grandpa for this table. My grandpa was the one who taught me the craft of wood working. He learned from his dad in their backyard barn shop long before I was born. His dad has recently passed but he’s carried on in working on their projects together while teaching me in the process. He’s given me so much in terms of support and encouragement for developing my skills and I’d love to build them a dining room table to say thanks. Until I have the ability to build one myself this would be a truly amazing option!
All or Nothing, In addition we live in Tulsa OK and could pick the table up within an hour!
At first, I was like... he talks about as much as I do! Oddly, I find it comforting that someone else is doing all the talking. And you make good sense. I like that. good job on the table! I hope whoever gets it has many happy years at that table!
You have a new sub! I look forward to more rambling videos!
Here goes all or nothing. I too have been a runner all my life (though my knees will no longer allow that affectation), but now a retired small medical practice administrator, ex-military & commercial pilot, ex-bank loan officer, I am forced to take on two part time jobs just to make ends meet. I nominate ME:) - even though I suspect there are other people responding who may be more deserving. I started my first-time-in-my-life hobby, woodworking, when I retired. I told my wife I would build our first ever formal dining table, but I am not even able to afford the wood. Bummer. We have the room for it, and I can pick it up myself. You're a joy to watch, and I am grateful to all the woodworking RUclipsrs who have the wherewithal to teach me the things I can use as a novice.
All or nothing!
Your journey of trying new things reminds me of myself. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 50’’s.
LOVE the stitches & all of your projects. I really enjoy your design process.
Hello. From Lawton Oklahoma. I nominate my Mother in law Susan. She just moved here permanently and sad to say she lost quite a bit of furniture. Dining table included. She lives alone and this would be perfect for her new apartment. Thanks for the opportunity for this. I myself could pick it up as I’m only 80 miles away. 🙏🏽
@@clantonmiller7626 I grew up in the Lawton area!
nahh
Jonny That looks beautiful. I like the fact that you talk to the people, admit mistake(s), ; but you relentlessly move forward in truly making beautiful pieces of furniture. For that and I have to admit I'm very particular on who I subscribe to, you won my subscription. Just remember, DO NOT FORGET THE PEOPLE. The reason I say that is because some other wood workers (Bourbonmouth) on RUclips get to big for the britches and forgot where they came from. God Speed and Keep Making America Great!
I'm personally not a fan of the look, but fully acknowledge that people like different things. That said, I have a friend in OK that would definitely appreciate it. This man, whom I've never met physically, has been an incredible inspiration in my own life. He's what I would call a "starving actor" (though I think he's doing well enough that, with supplemental income, he's getting by). But I know how much time and effort he puts into pursuing his passion, often to the detriment of a comfortable lifestyle. If there's anybody I know that could use something like this, and would appreciate it for the time, effort, and passion that went into it, it would be him. You're both all or nothing kind of people.
All or nothing :)! I want to give my wife this table. Her dad is a woodworker, and if I had more time I would aspire to be one, but this table is beautiful. Cheers to whomever wins :)! Great work!
I nominate Cookie monster. He has all those cookies but no table to eat them at and this table would be perfect all the crumbs could go down the middle and no one would be the wiser. If you two would like to see Cookie monster win give it a big thumbs up.🍪🍪🍪
Listening to how your hobbies have engulfed your life as you spend years with one and then another. I can not imagine what it might be like to have the money to live the way you do. I'm blown away by your woodcraft skills as well! Having time to love what you do and the money to pursue it would blow my mind. I'm so happy for you!
I would love for my wife to have this table. She just has a surgery, spending a lot of time at home, and this would bring some great joy to our family to see this everyday. We live locally in OKC so this just seems meant to be.
All or nothing
All or nothing!!! Been watching you for a long time and one of the main reasons when I'm looking for my first house to buy to make sure i have room for a wood shop!! You inspire me to broaden my ideas and see where i could take them!! Indiana wants to consider me disabled due to me being deaf and born without any ears and im required to wear a special cochlear. Multiple surgeries to get where I'm at and i wont allow it to take control of my life and by doing so, I'm a union carpenter local 301 and just love to use my hands!!! Winning this table would be a huge boost in to achieving my goal with our first home and being able to make things a reality!! Oh and btw, my wife bought a temu type of dinning room table and lets just say its over due for a new one!!!
I’d love to see a video of the oven build! I find watching all of these processes incredibly fascinating. I also have the habit of taking up and obsessing over new hobbies. In my case that’s mostly due to ADHD, but I don’t mind it!
great build… Your channel really resonated with me, especially this episode. My wife also tells me I’m 90 or nothing-“all or nothing”-so I can completely appreciate your hobby obsession. Also, up here in Tulsa. Its nice to see someone representing Oklahoma so well! Props.
Nice one, four months ago a youtuber called "Olivier Gomis" done a no epoxy table called " No Epoxy Required" using the same stitches technique, and it was really amazing one.
There are so many people make tables and furniture on RUclips, that do things differently than you, if someone doesn't like what you do honestly they can watch something else. I personally enjoy your talking and story telling. Great repair job I love the patchwork and stitching. All or nothing 👍
All or nothing, love the new design. As a runner and scuba diver, I really enjoyed your stories!
I am in two minds about the table. I think it looks lovely - the joins, the contrast between the different species, the gap in the middle providing visual interest. It's just a gorgeous piece of woodworking that obviously took a lot of time and skill to create. Still, despite your incredibly convincing demonstration, I've had a dining table before that had a middle section with slatted wood and it drove me crazy. The ones on my table were much smaller and plates definitely couldn't be tossed through but it was just frustrating as it reduced the usable area. That could just be a me-thing, I don't know. But that table is in my garage now :D
I did watch the whole vid - all or nothing - and I hope you find a happy home for this table. I've upvoted a few of the nominations. Good luck to all who are hoping to recieve this very generous gift.
I don’t have a crazy story to share. I do, however, have a broken dining table (well, broken chairs), and I just had twin baby girls 3 weeks ago! So no table will likely be able to be purchased for a while. 😂 love your work and your attitude!
All or nothing!
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing you throw the small plate through the table, brought a smile to my face. Lovely work, and lovely stories.
I’m moving my office to a new location. This table would be perfect for my meetings. I’ll put a think custom glass over the top. Great conversation piece. Let’s go! All or nothing! Like it 👍🏼 🤞🫵🏻
Please. It's beautiful. I love seeing all of these people saying that "someone else" important to them deserves to have it. The whole project has that spirit, so serious respect and props to you and the people nominating potential winners. I mean, that is a killer table!
All or nothing ,I would love to NOT be selfish but I gotta nominate myself. I am getting a military retirement after 16 years in the Army. I have been a government employee for 13 years, and I have never one anything this would be an amazing retirement present and would be great to replace our $80 Amazon table. I could picture my wife and I entertaining on this with the family, great video as usual!
All or nothing... I am not a wood worker nor a maker of any sort, I just love watching yt wood working as that's what I've always wanted to do in life. Maybe one day hey. Keep up the great builds mate. And yes I enjoy people chatting about the subject in their vids. It keeps me listening and entertained. Thank you.
This, these , my husband and I love watching your videos at night . Love your sense of humor and the way you think
I would like to nominate my daughter. She moved to Oklahoma city and has a seven month old child. Her and her boyfriend are trying to make a new life 10 hours away from their families. For a young couple to try to start off on their own and struggle. This will be a nice gift for them. Thank you for any likes. God bless.
Sorry, she is not disadvantaged enough.
"All or Nothing"
I really enjoyed that you shared the amount of detail you did in your efforts to rework that table. It was nice to learn more about you, too. The end result is beautiful. Sorry the purple heart didn't work out for you since you really wanted it to, but I'm in the cottonwood club. 😎
0h my goodness! I don’t have a great story, I’d just love to own this table! I’m moving into a townhome next month, and my theme is ‘artistic and modern’. I can’t image a better piece to start this journey. I’m a 63 year old lifetime artist and amateur woodworker. This table is a dream piece to me. Lisa
That's a beautiful crack you have there. You can clearly see you have put your 'all' into this piece with 'nothing' spared. Another great piece.
I nominate myself! I don’t have a table because of a recent move. I am in Tennessee and I will pick it up. 5 kids, active duty Army for 22 years. I made my last table and it didn’t make the move…
All or Nothing - This was amazing, thank you Johnny for making this video I really enjoyed the uncut process of the build process. Seeing your mistakes and how you adapt was the best part. This is one of the best tables I have ever seen I would have loved to nominate myself for the table but I live in Canada so I fail the first rule you put up. Thanks again
"All or nothing" After reading the comments before mine I couldn't possibly nominate myself. There are so many deserving folks I don't envy you having to choose. My family and I love watching your videos. Just keep it up. All the best
All or nothing!
I love the table! It’s put back together and still has life and purpose! Like many of us- we aren’t perfect. But we are all beautiful!
"All or nothing" - Great stories! Tinker AFB was the best assignment due to the people. I was a k-9 handler and also state state-certified and worked for Midwest City PD. The wife and I were supposed to be in the SSN administration office during the bombing but had to reschedule due to our move-on-base date changing. I have three years until I retire from Law Enforcement. I run a non-profit for kids and teach them mountain biking skills and how to repair them. I love building projects but have little time between work and my non-profit. We just remodeled our house and I have been looking for a table. That would look awesome in my house. Also, I will be in OKC in August and would be able to pick it up. Please like my post the most!
It’s all or nothing when I watch your videos. I’m not as obsessed as you but I respect ppl like you. Such passion and drive. Your content is great and your humor is even greater 🥴 love your channel. Keep talking bc that’s why I’m here. This was beautiful
I'm not sure if i love it or hate it, but i do appreciate the artistry of it and the pure amount of work that has gone into making it! God, im getting old.
All or nothing. I've watched your videos before, but this video's "ramblings" got me to subscribe. There is a lot of wisdom to gain through life, and finding those common threads is where you find the truth.
I am due to retire from the Navy after 25 years in November. My wife is a 100% disabled veteran. We would love a custom table when we get a house in Texas! I have a daughter in OKC that can pick up!
Hi from Indonesia, South East Asia. I do enjoy your works while listening to your stories. Its quite fun.
Traveling for 2 weeks in Malaysia and Thailand but the security of a newly dropped Johnny Builds vid keeps me safe 😊
That sounds amazing! The diving in Thailand is supposed to be some of the best in the world!
@@JonnyBuilds it is pretty next level
I have only used purpleheart a few times, and love how it looks. but in those few times I have broken more than a reasonable number of tools on it. I know that a lot of people won't like your idea for the stitches, but you can't please everyone. good on you for following through on your plan. I think it looks great. I would really like to have this table, but I can't follow rule #1. I am a disabled vet living in far norther California, and I dont even have a vehicle to carry my wheelchair, little own a truck to haul that beautiful table home. so Grats to who ever does win it. all or nothing.
Building a powder coating oven is absolutely worthy of an entire video, I would love to see what that looks like
*All or nothing
Maybe like that one by Make It Extreme.
Love the stitches! ❤️ Would like the patches better if they were more organic forms, but i like them WAY better than the dark ones from the first build. It’s a beautiful table and someone is going to be very blessed indeed to receive it 💕
Olivier Gomis did something similar a couple months ago
I am Vietnamese, your videos give me a lot of motivation to make my youtube channel. I really like your channel, thank you and wish you good health.
That table is gorgeous. Yea, you talk a lot, but you aren't boring. Keep up the beautiful builds. that's why we keep coming back.
All or Nothing! Great video, I love that you rebuilt instead of starting over. The stitches are great.
USMC and Iraqi war vet and woodworker in DFW area. Also, I have never pooped in the woods on a run. 😂. ALL OR NOTHING!! I would like to nominate myself, Clinton Tuggle. I watch all of your videos and try to replicate what I can.
Another quirky thing about purple heart wood is it browns over time. I made some cutting boards one Christmas early on in my woodworking journey for friends and family and they have browned ugly. Love your builds and your stories, makes my day. I have a friend who runs marathons and this thing here in Utah called the Moab on the rocks, Ragnar and other ultra-marathons. He has shared similar stories with me, makes me laugh and he can't understand why. I have tried to explain that there is a 13 year old boy trying to get out of me every chance he gets. anyway, love what you do and thoroughly enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing your time and talent!
Thank you from the UK
All or nothing, man you definitely gave it your all. It’s very generous of you to do all this work and give this table away.
In the woods too lol. I like your "rambling" it makes your show!
I do wish I had some of the tools you have, but more that that I wish I had more time in my life to do more of what you're doing. I'm 67 years old and because of some terrible life choices, and Covid to boot, I'm just now trying to set up my fourth wood shop and hopefully this time it will stay open long enough to really enjoy working in. So, I encourage everyone not to get old because it comes fast if you're not paying attention and really screws up your life plans.
I nominate myself! I don’t have a table because of a recent move. I am in Tennessee and I will pick it up. 5 kids, active duty Army for 22 years. I made my last table and it didn’t make the move… oh and I was born in Oklahoma!
ALL OR NOTHING!!! I am a huge fan of your work and I am nominating one of the coolest people I have ever met (who lives in OK) and had the honor of serving with with. I nominate my old patrol partner Maegan Smith. She was police officer for 10+ years (OK AND WA) but more importantly my partner for many of those years. She is one of the most selfless, giving people I have ever met and I look up to her so much more than she will ever know. She is no longer a LEO because of a medical incident that she went through, which sadly stopped her career short. Maegan is a survivor of breast cancer and a true hero. Since I have known Maegan, she has put others before herself and continues to do so. I wish I could give her the world because she deserves it.
I am the widow of a retired Navy Chief. His body gave out and he passed on August 2, 2022 at home unexpectedly. I am still in the process of reworking my home. I would be honored for this beautiful table to be a focal point in my home.
By the way, would you be interested in a Black Walnut tree that came down two months ago.
All or nothing! Really, you wiped out the reassurance of nothing falling through by the last thing you left us with a plate breaking!
You really go all or nothing. Beautiful table, great story-telling, you certainly earned the subscription! Now let me binge through your videos for an ungodly amount of time.
When I was a child, my grandfather crafted a table that became the heart of our home. This giveaway table would rekindle that warmth and legacy in my own family.
All or nothing!
That is bad ass!! I love it ❤
As a truck driver for almost 20 yrs. I have never pooped in my truck 😂😊
For 26 years, I served the Air Force as a Crew Chief of A-10 Warthogs. Both the aircraft and I will be retired soon. Through six deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I defended our nation and would like to think touched countless lives, embodying the true spirit of honor and resilience.
I’m a huge fan of your channel, and I would love to surprise my wife, who is also a huge fan, with this super cool table.
As someone who worked on AV-8 harriers in the Marines I always had a deep appreciation for what a badass aircraft the A-10 is!
When drilling metal with HSS drill bits, the rpm is most important. Today’s hand drills really suck for this purpose. But for any of your basic structural steel the Cutting Speed to use is 60.
For most stainless steels the Cutting Speed to use is 30.
The formula is 4xCS/diameter.
So the tube steel that you were using requires 60CS so 240/@.375”=640 rpm. Most brushless motor drills in low gear and full trigger turn 500 rpm. But a 25% reduction in rpm is good to keep the drill bits from burning up. As long as the pressure applied is sufficient to keep the bit cutting the metal out. The amount of oil needed for that size hole in that size steel is actually only one drop. I do apologize for wasting your time if this info is not needed and I apologize for making such a long comment. I do hope this helps and that you appreciate. Thankyou for your videos.
I am a CDL instructor here in okc. I work anywhere from 6 to 7 days a week. I am also a single parent who takes care of my daughter and my granddaughter full time. And to be honest, I despise eating in the living room. Being a single parent on a limited income, buying a table just hasn’t been in the cards. If I get picked, the table will definitely get used and will be loved. Even if I don’t get it, I will be grateful of any votes and thankful for the work that you do and the content you put out. Oh, yeah, and….all or nothing!
Love the table. All or nothing is a great model. Working on tattoo for wife working on masters. Drawing up own for her that highlights “YOU GOT THIS!” Keep up great work. I like the thoughts while your building as well.
I want to nominate my wife. She loves all these custom built tables and we could never afford one. We have had the same wood table she got in a divorce 15 years ago. So needless to say I would like to see it go. We live in north Texas so pick up won't be an issue. Like my comment if you see fit.
I grew up in Leadville CO, and I remember the trail 100 being a big thing every year. In fact my dad worked for the college there in the communication department, and covered one of the runners like a reporter would. I remember him telling me what a challenge it was to run next to him with a big camera on his shoulder. There mountains there in Colorado are no joke, most of the highest peaks in the country are right there near Leadville. My dad and grandpa would take me hiking in those mountains, and I was able to summit several of the 14ers in Colorado. Anyway, loved your attention to detail, and hearing about your many hobbies. Looking forward to more!
Makes me miss Leadville!
Love your videos bro!! Keep it up!!🎉🎉
Now I'ma finish the vid😂
Jonny;
I love the video. Great job. I liked the table before you cut it down, however you did a great job reworking it. You have a great looking shop. I spent half the video admiring your tools and equipment.
I know this wont happen.
I am from Poland, and I absolutly love your work and tables and it is a dream to have a Desk made by you.
I have schematic for it.
its nice to have dreams
sadly it wont happen
I love beautiful, exotic woods as many people do. I love the idea of incorporating some thing, rare, or expensive/hard to get into your common place and every day. You’ll never be able to have a full dining table made of Purple Heart. But you can have this piece that ties the two together and makes a wonderful metaphor for everyone to talk about over dinner. I like the bowties. They’re smart and kind of dorky.
I'm gonna nominate my parents, we live in a small town in South-Western Ontario. She's an officeworker, he's a programmer, and we've been living with the same dining room set for over 18 years. They're both good people who love they're families very much
What a great video! I don’t believe you’re talking too much. I love the stories and I love how you are all in…all or nothing!!
I want to nominate my friend Stephanie. She's a teacher in Oklahoma and has been working hard for over a decade with the goal of buying her own house with her husband. They finally pulled it off recently, and closed on their first house. This table would be an amazing housewarming gift, they live in Oklahoma, and she wouldn't otherwise be able to afford amazing things like this easily.
All or nothing!
All or nothing
My dad’s going through it with the cancer Doctor,this would be a welcomed surprise.
Thank you for the honest content 😊
for me it's just about watching makers make cool shit. i don't really care if it's my taste or not. i wouldn't choose a table like this but that doesn't mean i can't admire the work that went into making it. nice work dude.
All or nothing. My boyfriends parents are the most deserving people. They are the most loving, accepting, supportive people I've ever met. My kids and I are so lucky to be a part of their lives. Between adopting animals, taking care of family, handling stress better than anyone I ever imagined anyone able to(and there has been A LOT of it, especially this past year), singing their chickens to sleep, working on everyone's vehicles during downtime, canning all kinds of things just to give them away... They're just phenomenal people. I wish everyone had someone in their lives like them. It's felt like home since the first time I walked in their door, and I always look forward to my biweekly trip to jersey to see them.
