I'm surprised that he didn't paint the entire finished piece .... after all, he did cut out ALL the character that lovely wooden board had attained over decades. Such a shame.
Looks like something I can buy that is mass-produced in a furniture store. I thought it was going to look like a rustic one-of-a-kind piece. All that work !!!
How rude and ignorant your comment is. Could you do all that ? No, I thought not. Hey, run down to Rooms To Go and grab a piece like that . Ha, F-ing , Ha !!!
@jakecrib9971 give me access to all that equipment and easily, with what equipment I have it would be a struggle. Since I'd have to be doing things like those massive mortise and teenons slots with a drill and file

It doesn’t matter what your skill level is, and obviously this person has excellent tool skills but his artistic vision is in no way comparable to his tool skills… That piece of wood should have been given to an artist with woodworking skills…
Yes, those types of tables are absolutely stunning, but had he done that, wouldn't he have been making just another piece like we see all of the time? I don't know, maybe he thought he was being original 🤔😕
Glad to see there are any of us who appreciate the gorgeous character of what nature gives us. U r skilled with equipment but lack the beauity around u
As much as I love the table, and I really do, I have to agree with many of the other commenters in saying the original piece of timber had such a wealth of character. It was sad to see it wasted. A nice table could have been a beautiful table. I think he should hand some of that salary back until he learns to see the beauty in natural forms.
Nice... Not the way I would have gone with that original chuck of wood, it had a lot of character, but the completed table was pretty nice... Cool video... Rookie 😉
Hope someone can explain how this is called a masterpiece. You start with a beautifull piece of wood full on character, and then cut the soul out of the wood and make somethung without a soul
An exercise in the slow production of bespoke kindling. Small steel brackets when any number of carjoints would have been better and at 13:18 daylight visible through a joint (with varnish runs).
Consider if this was a Food Network show. They gave this chef a couple food items to make a masterpiece... This guy would have created a non edible meal the judges vomitted from.....yes he knows how to plane wood and glue it, cut it,... so does my grandson.....he had the opportunity to turn the raw materials into something beautiful. He created a 3rd world apprentice peice that no one this side of pacific would even consider putting in their home.....but you had me at wormholes
$ 3000 FINE Iwould give to this man who destroyed a beautiful piece of aged wood that had sur print effects that could be played with. It’s not being a rookie or not. It’s matter of taste with the right eye, Obviously the man lacks both.
Unfortunately no matter how good it looks you should not glue hard woods and soft woods together, they have different expansion and contracting rates which means that the glue joint will eventually fail. Been there done it
It's pretty cool but I like the beginning, weathered, wood piece more. I would rather have created something to keep the original appearance if possible and adding wood to the missing area of the tabletop and an accompanying weathered, rustic base for it to sit on.
Thank you for speeding up the playback. It made the video very entertaining. I hate watching every step in real time, the tedium is mind numbing. Most videos making tables out of decayed tops use epoxy to fill in the broken parts. The use of an insert instead was very refreshing.
Rookie is right! He cut away all the good stuff. What about layering a thin piece underneath the whole thing and filling in the eroded section with resin or something so we could still see the beauty of the wood? That's where the art was. An organic shape would have been nice, too!
@@jakecrib9971yes, any day of the week. So could you, if you followed this as an instructional video, with access to that range of tools. Hopefully, you would have a better imagination. :0/
Rookie is correct. Abysmal jointing with no allowance for wood moisture movement and over reliance on glue screw and nails/staples. May look on first appraisal and superficially as "good" to some but a real dogs dinner to me. I personally would have given it the "Blacktail Studio" type of resin work and not just exposed the "rot" but made a feature of it. I did approve of the safe methodologies employed in the wood processing; too many lose fingers so readily and see it as a badge of honour as a wood machinist. The naive may interpret this as skilful; it is far from that aspiration; being superficial without integrity of construction nor a recognition of differential wood movement.
My god. You cut out every ounce of character that piece of wood has! You don't have a clear understanding of how to appreciate wood and carpentry and creativity. Unreal.
Yep, he sure did take all the character out of that board. I thought he was just going to enhance the cracked, rotted out pieces in the wood but no, he cut all that character out. Now it’s just another table that screams boring.
Lol. Ya. I agree ! Was a beautiful piece of wood that could have been a 10k$ table if he had left the good stuff on. ! Wow. Made a $300 table from a priceless piece of romantic, aged wood!
Something just seems off about it! As so many have stated, ruined the character of the original wood. Not a fan of the contrasting wood type and what is with the block wood feet? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You can keep that one thanks
How? Any competent Carpenter could do similar. He used nothing advanced in the construction. That was no masterpiece, it was relatively plain, simple, and frankly he cut out all the character the old wood had right at the start that he COULD have used to make something more interesting. Frankly this video was a waste of my time.
@@alganhar1 Absolutely agree with you. Got about 5 minutes in and decided to check the comments…. Glad I did….this guy wanted about $750. a week? Give it to him, but let him build picnic tables… Took a piece of wood screaming with character, butchered it. He shows absolutely no artistic vision. Fast forwarded to the end, shook my head. What a waste…. Might as well have turned that beautiful piece of wood into charcoal, and used it on his barbecue to cook hot dogs and burgers….
The piece of wood had such amazing character, should have been made into a table top with acrylic. Would have been epic.
My exact thoughts !
I thought the same thing. I cringed when he started cutting the best part out.
I think he created something unusual. Anybody can put acrylic on a piece of wood and call it a table
Yikes! Watched 2X speed then jumped forward a few till I couldn’t stands no moe! I agree; should have left the original piece whole as possible. Ruined beautiful wood.
@@edsimmons3352 Agree. Also I do not like the legs and the base, looks sloppy.
Wow! This rookie carpenter has some serious woodworking equipment.
All for $750 a week. He just doesn't speak any English, and that table was supposed to be a cradle.
I was jealous.
You need to remember, tho. The equipment isn't his. He was hired as a rookie and the equipment belongs to his employer

Oh my gosh, you cut away the most beautiful parts of that slab. I’m saddened you couldn’t see the beauty in its natural form.

I see your point, and this guy’s choices wouldn’t have been mine, but these comments are kind of judgmental. Most people would have thrown the would away totally.
What a waste. What was the point of using the reclaimed wood. Lots of work. Very disappointing result.
I saw that piece of wood and thought, wow, he's going to make a nice artistic piece with it. Turns out he had practical in mind.
Cutting out those "ugly" pieces reminded me of another RUclipsr who uses resin to fill those " ugly" areas and comes up with awesome tables.
I thought that was what he was going to do.
Wow.....He took some unique and interesting wood and turned it into a drab and uninspiring table.

Made a mess, I think, too.

Really? I've never seen anything handmade like that at HD and if there was , I wonder what it would cost? You BS'ers. Give credit where credit is due.

I prefer the rustic version he cut away. But his skill is top notch though. Kudos young blood.
He did not allow for swelling and shrinking of laminated top… it will actually explode into a huge crack when it swells from relative high humidity ….
