Your work is so insanely good, as is your documenting of the piece(s). Probably the best lighting of any woodworking channel on YT-your raw pieces of wood practically look finished already.
Beautiful wood, beautiful tools , beautiful shop , beautiful table . The natural beauty of wood species is a marvel of nature that no man should ever take for granted . Perfection Blake !
What an awesome hall table. Wonderful choices of veneer & your Glowforge then 'did you proud'. The design of the legs & the method of mounting them was superb. Your change of mind on the door handles was a master stroke & the finished work was superb. I am so glad that I stumbled on your website & will be tuning in for more. I am a retired, disabled Senior Master of Art (teaching) in South Australia where I majored in Sculpture (mainly wood), Design, Graphics & a few others. With my disabilities I delight in watching people who work with wood as it helps to take my mind off the constant pain. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Thanks! I agree, even aside from the clown face they were pretty generic looking. It was fun playing with brass though and I'll try it again on another project.
Before RUclips I would never have had a window into this and the many other incredible worlds of talented people. It is just beautiful to watch the craftsmanship. His carpentry tools are gorgeous, not like my rusty things
Looks amazing. A tip to try out..... when doing euro hinges using a square like you did works but sometimes with slight deviations in the wood/cuts or what ever they can be out of parallel. (yes I know they are adjustable) What works better for me is to use a level or straight edge to line both or even more hinges at the same time. Guys give it a try if you like, if it works for you cool if not thats also cool. Its just a tip for people to try Keep on keeping on Regards Conor
First time viewer. You are truly a master craftsman...a lost art. Anyone fortunate enough to own a piece of your furniture, will own a piece of history.
Good Day I am not usually the kind of viewer that has something negative to say about anyones project or content. If I don't Like it I just don't watch it. But I watch RUclips a lot and I am Subscribed to over 100 Channels and most of them are woodworking channels, I enjoy watching you wonderful Creators Do what you do best, I try and Watch all the videos you have to offers and even go back to the first videos when I find Someone's work I enjoy. That way at least it teaches me something that I can use in my Basic Projects that I attempt. Now I realise that you work hard for your channel and Viewers and that you deserve every tool that you own be it you bought it or it was sponsored. I watched this video and it upset me Greatly that you treated that very expensive Festool in that way (Using it as A Hammer - There is a tool for that), many Woodworkers would love a Tool like that but can unfortunately not afford it, If you do not like the tool don't Buy it or accept it as a Sponsor. Wishing you all the best in your future Projects.
Love that even the hammer hits are on time with the soundtrack. Great work, and yes, some people notice this level of detail! It's not surprising given the level of detail in your woodwork! Bravo!
I dont do any wood working. I stumbled upon your channel a while back. Just love to watch the detail and heart you put into your work. And the video production has got to be half of your work. Great job. And thanks for your content.
Blake, this is amazing. I like the asymmetry of the mountain and clouds against the sunburst rays, which appear mirrored... art. Also, my keyboard and monitor would like to thank you for causing me to share coffee with them this morning with the Festool trick.
i just cracked up when you said you were going to use the domino joiner , and you used it as a hammer . . 🤣 ha . . 😂. ha . .😆 .ha , that was a complete twist in the tail. you are a craftsman with incredible skills. thats for sharing. bravo ! ! !
It's funny how some mistakes turn out to be breakthrough genius, while the very planned out touches like the pulls turn out to be disasters! Awesome build and "detail recovery!" DD
Wow! You are a master! Just found your channel…can’t wait to go watch some more of your videos! I could watch you work all day long. I am a definite newbie to laser cutting, but I just received a package of vaneer that I ordered and this video has inspired me!
Your cinematography is top notch. I've been a subscriber for quite some time but have so many channels I watch, it's hard to stay in one spot. It's like watching an advertisement for woodworking tools as you select each tool to use. They should pay you for your videos as you show off I such understated style your tool collection. The Greene and Greene "feel" to the piece and work style is amazing. I'm so glad I found this video in the Sea of RUclips. 👍🏻
I was watching and thought "Pretty cool, he certainly knows what he is doing", but jumped on that like button as soon as I saw how you used your domino machine!!!!!
That is sooo fantastic! I can see why you don't kick out videos on a weekly basis. With the planning and execution of your projects it must take a while and the filming kicks in a lot of extra work. Your time is very appreciated.
Beautiful work as always. If U want to minimize coping saw blade twist, use a brad point bit, make a small pilot hole in the waste exactly adjacent to your saw kerf which will allow a 90° blade turn to address bottom of waste easily. Works for waste from both pins & tails.
After a long day of prepping for thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, I’m in bed with my iPad, relaxing and enjoying your beautiful video. I’m hosting my family here at our home in Aptos. Have a blessed Thanksgiving, neighbor!
Stunning as always Blake. You have a serious talent, beyond the average woodworker. Beyond most in fact. This piece turned out gorgeous... I am supremely jealous of your tools... Cause they get to hang out with you.
Beautiful. I appreciate the explanation of each step. But just as impressive is your filming. Extraordinary video skills; I’m equally inspired and intimidated! Thanks. I see this isn’t very recent but worth a comment nevertheless. Best of luck to you.
@@weberwoodshop I might have to re-watch it to see where I missed some. Do you know the number? Is there a "prize"? Although it is fun just looking for them.
I love how you built this table and I think your idea for the handles is genius and works perfect for this piece. If I would have to find a flaw it would be the screws for the handle. They are on such a prominent spot, it would have been cool to hide them under another layer of the same veneer. But I'm not a furniture maker and have such a respect for your work....I shut up :D
I also used glue to hold the back on, not just brad nails. I used screws on the handles so they could be repaired, replaced or refinished if/when desired.
Fascinating, I think I learned more about dove tails watching this, than in 5 tipps and tricks videos about the topic. Beautiful piece of furniture you build there
Awesome build, Blake. Looks great and stunning dovetails, bridal joints and the lot. It also goes without saying that I'm getting a domino for that perfect joinery.
After seeing how you keep your shop, I can only imagine how organized your sock drawer is!!!! I watched this video with complete admiration for the design, engineering, tool use and the patience of Job in completing the task. I love the fact that your design is flexible, not afraid to change elements in midstream. And, of course, although I have thousands of tools, I am still left with a huge case of tool envy!!! Great job on the making of the video, too. I have to ask….. do you employ help on the filming and editing? It would be an overload for me if not! Thanks for sharing the video, and the inspiration.
Your work is absolutely gorgeous 👍! My journey with precision started in '73 at the tool and die institute....you have a wonderful skill of precision combined with being an artist! Thanks for sharing your craft!
Not only are our shops similarly equipped, but although I have a Domino I still gravitate towards more of a hybrid vibe, great looking chisels and a beauty of a project!
Fantastic project all around. Good design and flawless execution. Though this was a serious video, I had a good chuckle at your seamless integration of your DF500 with the custom 0 x 0 Domino. I must admit I don't use it as often as I could or should, but am glad I have it. In this case I am reminded of an old saying "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks lie a nail."
Great design, it's a really beautiful piece. Always fascinating to watch the bluiding process, the precision, the patience. Fine editing, as always. Thank you for this video.
I'm not going to lie, I cried a little seeing you cut the large slab of walnut. However, this is a beautiful piece. Oh, and I laughed loudly at the "clown face". The new handles look amazing. Thank you for sharing the build and the mistake. New subscriber!!!
Wow I had to watch the Festool moment 3 times😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔. I couldn’t take in what I was seeing 🤷♂️. But anywaze very enjoyable video. Still not sure about the handles🤔 . I’m always amazed at the amount of kit RUclipsrs have but it always comes back to a hammer and nail . (or festool and nail). 🙃. Oh and thanks for such a varied amazing production!!!
I think you might have blown the chance of having Festol as a sponsor. Totally worth it. It cracked me up. 🤣 Keep up the amazing work of art.
They TOTALLY want me. Thanks!
I laughed so loud the neighbours complained . 7.59 on the clock Festool hammer.
Must be a reason ?
Man those tool-to-music crossfades are so satisfying.
Considering you most recent build, I have to say that you’re the most underrated content creator in the furniture building space!
Best use of a Domino ever!
Haha thanks!
Not only a fantastically beautiful piece of furniture but a well done video presentation!
Thanks!
The handles don't just look a million times better than the brass, those handles just look brilliant on their own. 👍 Work of art, well done!
Thank you! I like them better too. The brass was fun to work with but those handles looked a bit generic even if they didn't make a clown face.
Men, have I ever been jealous of someone's workshop and talent.. keep up the good work, dude! Really amazing work and content.
I have done so much with so little for so long it is nice to see what a professional woodworker uses. Fantastic work.
Thank you!
As usual your work is mesmerising.. The combination of hand tools and power tools makes the video so relaxing and enjoyable.. FLAWLESS work
Thank you!

Thank you, for creating these presentations and sharing it. I'm learning from you.
WOW Real wood working. No pocket holes I didn't think anyone on youtube knew how to survive with out them! Well done!!!
Thanks! I use pocket holes all the time when its appropriate.
The handles are genius, throwing a shadow better than you could have imagined...
The domino joiner part killed me. I did not see that joke coming
Add spoke shaving. Gimme an hour of it.
Dang you, sir, I've never felt so relaxed.

That is the most beautiful. Stunning and perfect piece of furniture Íve ever seen. Double wow! You are truly talented!
Thank you!

Amazing piece aside, every time I watch a video from this channel I feel like I should be paying for the sheer cinematography.
