Welcome to part 2 of the Trestle Table Series. We will work with Bolivian Rosewood to produce a very unique table top that is inspired by gothic architecture! This top has 3 leaves, and brass inlays in each slab. This would be an insane conference table, an absurd coffee table, or a perfect dining table! Take your pick, SUBSCRIBE, and I'll see you on the other side!

The Arts and Crafts movement here in the UK came up with a saying which, I suggest, encapsulates your approach to furniture
Precision and Patience leads to Perfection.
Even at 70 and after 45 plus years of turning trees into something else, I find great pleasure in having that saying hanging in my workshop. You get moments (I think everyone does) where something doesn’t go to plan and your mood plummets. As you say in the video, don’t panic; think. I always leave the shop; make tea or lunch, even take a few hours off; and then think about solutions. The best solution is rarely the first one you think of. Again, patience.
Everyone who has a well equipped shop - and yours is clearly quite large and with very good machinery - has advantages over those who don’t. But those advantages are in labour and time saving and not being able to make items which less comprehensively equipped workshop can’t. With just a few good tools, plus a lot more time and effort, virtually any man-in-a-shed could make something very similar. Maybe outsource one or two stages but even that’s not absolutely necessary.
I hope your channel inspires every viewer to just think about designs that please them and go out and make something that pleases them.
Finally, furniture to art. I believe that designed furniture is art at its best. It’s that combination of form and function that is lacking in, say, paintings. William Morris of A&C fame said “ have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful or believe is beautiful”. That’s a great aspiration for makers.
Yes, I would say I agree with all of that. Taking a step back a thinking is very important. I appreciate your approach
Ok, so, Cory....I am still sticking to my former comment of your work...you are still a savant, sir. Perfection at it's finest. Thank you for showing all of the steps in the preparation and finishing of your table. I am going to start building a few of my own to sell. They won't be as perfect as yours, but you are leading me down the right road...I think. Oh, and one other thing - you mentioned "she" thought a table was needed instead of a piano. So, your client is your wife? Cool! Just remember - happy wife, happy life!
Practice on scraps! Inlaying, routing, finishing...you don't want to mess up on the real deal. Thank you! I try my best to keep her happy!
@@FortressFineWoodworks Thank you for the tip - sage advice!
You are certainly welcome!
Those inlays turned out insane! That has got to be some of the coolest looking wood I’ve ever seen
It sure is interesting. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed you choice of piano background music.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
That wood table top is so exquisite and beautiful. I also enjoy your choice of music. 5 star job 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much. I appreciate you taking your time to watch and comment
Wow i found this channel a little bit ago and i didn't get the opportunity to do a deep dive in videos. Really great piece. You sir are talented.
Thanks for taking a deep dive! I appreciate you watching!!!
top looks amazing , good job
Thank you! The last part of the series will be the INSANE gothic base.
I guess I'm late to the party, but well done! wow
You're not late if you showed up! Thanks!
Patience and knowledge is key to any masterful work, well done.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
We need to give this man 10 million subscribers. He deserve it❤
Well thank you! I'm glad you like it!
amazing!
Thank you!
Wow. What a table! Can't wait for part 3.
Thanks! The trestles are insane, just wait for those final shots...
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy these intros, giving some context and history is really interesting.
That's great to know! Thanks for the comment!
That wood is AMAZING!! So much character! Wow. Beautiful work as always
Thats very kind of you thank you!
Your work is amazing. I just came across your channel and have been binge watching. 😁
Thank you for your time and views! I always appreciate the comments as well!
There really is nothing else I can say. You are a wood sensei.
Daaaang... that's a good one! Thank you kindly!
Beautiful table, Your very detailed! I want to see how you made those legs though!😀
Well luckily, that will be the next video! Thanks for watching!
Hey man. Ive watched a ton of woodworking videos and your work is impressive! You have some insane skill and im sure you know that. I aspire to be a woodworker like you someday. Thanks for sharing and keep up the hard work. I know youtube can be a grind as I have found out. I dont subscribe to very many channels but youve earned mine!
Thank you. You definitely seem like you know what's up. I'm sure you are an amazing woodworker yourself and I appreciate you watching!
I love finding people like you (so good that you will definitely grow big) in the beginning before you get big on RUclips and have to deal with sponsor spots. I understand you guys need the money, but it gets very annoying for those of us who pay for RUclips Premium.
Fair enough. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment.
Great table. Just thought you should know that if you want to be a RUclips woodworker you can only build furniture with Walnut or in a pinch white oak but make it sparse or they will come for you.
Oh shit... I forgot. That's probably why RUclips won't promote me. 🙄 thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous. New subscriber, so I don't know whether you were joking about the piano. Were you really going to build a piano? That would be an enormous undertaking.
Thank you! Yes, I showed a picture of the Baby Grand Piano rim that I made from morado. My woodworking stems from instrument building. But I just dont have time for the piano these days so this table was a great replacement.
You can't see it, but I'm holding up a lighter and screaming, "Rooooock Ooooooon!" I felt tense every time you put a router to that amazing wood, because of all the outcomes that happen with a router, only one of them is good, kinda like a forward pass. I agree with you on the wooden jigs where they get blown out... and I'll add a trick I learned when I got sick of drilling shelf pin holes and oopsing all the way through - calculate the depth you need and spray paint above that line on your drill bit. It won't really impact the performance, and the tape trick method will fail when the tape inevitably creeps up the bit.
Yes, the routing and spray finishing are always pucker worthy! Scary even on a good day. That is a great tip for the drill bit. I bought a pack of different sized collars that can be used as stops, but they always come disengaged on the spiral milled part of the bits!
@@FortressFineWoodworks You just saved me $$ by not recommending those type of depth stops, which I was considering. Any other ideas? Sometimes the spray paint hack isn't precise enough.
Mathias wandel uses a hollow dowel. It slides over the drill bit and bottoms out on the chuck. So it won't move, as long as the drill bit is in there real tight
if you use your big router instead of your hand router you shouldn't get that tear out . or at least use a spiral flush router bit. also if your going to be doing alot of table tops should look into buying a used 36 inch wide belt sander. i bought an old used one on Craigslist for 3000 k that would cost 20k new. i have a supemax drum sander similar to what you have and its like riding a bike 5 miles as opposed to a car and your can sand a massive counter top all at once and everything will come out perfectly level and with 220 grit . you'll barely have to sand it with a orbital. spending half your day sanding gets really old really fast .
Yes, I definitely agree. Using a different bit would help too.
That's a good idea to look on Craigslist for a wide belt sander. I need one and I think you know it. Thanks for watching!
I actually looked on marketplace and found a 37 inch drum sander so I went and picked it up today. It needs some cleanup but runs well. Thanks for the advice!
@FortressFineWoodworks I been doing wood work for 25 years and I been on my own for 11 and I've made alot of mistakes that cost me so much time and money . I was working 7 days a week when I first started on my own 11 years and got really burnt out. I think going on you tube is your best opportunity to keep your integrity and not start doing things cheaper and faster for profit. I hope the drum sander works out for you I've never used a big drum sander, everything I've used at that size have been wide belt sanders.
a great place to look at auctions equipment is machery max sometimes theres an auction from a company near you thats going out of buisness. I bought a spray booth for 500 dollars and many other things on there. you learn alot about equipment there just looking .
Thats good to know. I will have to look sometime
Howd you do that table base??
I used Poplar and built it modular. Here's the video ruclips.net/video/9-F4KcAhr38/видео.html
Just a heads up that a lot of your affiliate links are bad.
Thanks for letting me know. Which ones were you having trouble with?
Very nice content, but much to much YT advertisement to continue watching.
Thank you. What advertising was too much? Ads? Or something else?
@@FortressFineWoodworks I'm getting ads for computer games and other stuff every 5 minutes, when watching the video. I guess this is a mechanism in RUclips and can partly be controled by the content creator. Your content is very good - there is nothing to say against it. But maybe you can check the RUclips ad setting of your account. I know creators (e.g. Heiko Rech) who changed the settings in a way that less ads are shown and viewers can better follow the original content.
The ads are the only way I get paid. And since I spend an obscene amount of time on the videos, I need that reimbursement. Although, when my channel is big enough for sponsors, I will likely lay off the ads a bit. Sorry for your time loss.
I don't see why you couldn't use a piano for a table.
Absolutely genius.... too late now though.
