    Would be interesting to inverse budget and skill. So like comparing pro with $100 bucks, intermediate with $200, and DIY with $300 or whatever budget you would want.

      And using the jointer in the most misleading way possible, only jointing an edge. Why that's an issue is explained elsewhere on RUclips. And with Sam's video, another unlisted jointer and bonus planer. Ha ha. Still great stuff.

    My current coffee table is a combo of Jordan's & Sam's and I love it. For these 3: I would have to go with Jordan's (not in that color) but it's the style I like the best. I like John's but only if I had a more formal living/sitting room. Having said that, all 3 are outstanding and are worthy of any living space.

      @ShadyButFresh Год назад +1

      Ahhh yes - full size, the cast iron top jointer (easily $2K or more). Very beginner. Lol he used beginner tools after that though.
      ...well except the dedicated pocket hole machine ($400)
      ...and wait...how did he make the table top so nice? Silly me, he used those typical beginner tools such as:
      • $250 worth of betsy parallel clamps + $50 of F clamps
      • perfect alignment on those joints --> (presumably from using a combination of the jointer for the edges and festool domino, $1K or higher, for alignment).
      • Festool track saw for edge cleanup and squaring ( $700)
      Reasonably speaking you could make the beginner table with a speed square, a circular saw, drill/impact driver, and a cheaper pocket hole job. A table saw would also be helpful in this case, but not 100% needed.

    Love this video! #2 is my favorite build. Noticed at 12:45 that those paneled up boards have the growth rings in same direction…wondering if it matters when the stock is thicker, regarding eventual cupping? I’ve experienced this when paneling walnut 3/4 boards even when carefully gluing with moderate pressure and cauls, but maybe thicker stock doesn’t do that…

    I'd feel a lot more way inclined to do something beginner like this if we start ommiting things like air guns, jointers/planers, etc.
    Gimme stuff limited to a circular saw, a drill/driver, a square, maybe a hand planer, and an orbital sander and a pencil. Something that feels like an *actual* DIY challenge.

    I appreciate that your style of video is not targeted towards me. I’ve been a (serious) amateur woodworker for over 45 years and more than somewhat creaking in my body. However, style is personal but skill is universal.
    A couple of things from my perspective.
    The three P’s. Patience; Precision; Perfection. Patience means to take your time; don’t worry about taking your time; a table built by a hare is not as good as one built by a tortoise; don’t work when you are getting tired; I would guess a high percentage of my mistakes have been made when I’m thinking “ I’ll just get this cut before I pack up or if I do this glue-up now, it will have cured by tomorrow. Precision means check and double check; making full size drawings is so useful to me (I use cheap wallpaper backing paper); use sharp tools which include pencils and, better still, marking knife; learn how to sharpen your tools very early on - it’s the most important fundamental skill.
    Will this guarantee perfection? No, but, without these, precision is impossible.
    If you want to advance your skills, use curves. I was taught that one curve piece on a project increases time by tenfold; complex (more than one curved piece joining each other) can be fifty fold. But most woodworkers can build “straight” pieces even if there are obtuse or acute angles. A skilled cabinet maker introduces curves.
    A shop full of power tools only mean one thing; your bank balance is down. They are not a short cut to perfection. They can make your life easier but don’t eliminate the need for skill.
    Buy the best tools you can afford (buy cheap; buy twice) but get advice. For example on chisels. You need to know what is a good chisel; not what costs the most. Old, old chisels can be a good buy if you know how to sharpen them properly; but the steel used years ago was comparatively softer and so easier to sharpen but dulls quicker.

    I like all the tables. On Jordans, correct me if I'm wrong but won't that top crack in a few months or a year because it was screwed straight to the top, shouldn't it be floating? On Sam's he left a gap which would eliminate the need for that. And John's is a pretty slab with nothing in the way of expansion really.

    My favorite would have to be Jordan's. And I think in going to build one. However I'm going to use some joinery that's a bit more complicated then pocket holes. Lol. No offense Jordan.

    Cedar DNS 2. It's what the WWE uses to interview mid fan screaming. I use it in my audio bag to clean up mics whenever I can't control the background noise. I know it's expensive but I bet you guys could use one to make audio way easier for you.

    I read somewhere that putting Rubio Monocoat over stained wood wasn't a good idea. I would love to know how that actually worked out. Odies Oil says it can be put over stained wood.

    I have been working on a replica Soviet mosin crate. I want to cut a hole in the too and put in plexiglass and store my 3 mosin nagants in there. It would be a dope ass coffee table.
