Jordan “So all we need is some lumber, a saw aaaaaand a drill…”
*starts using jointer* 😂😂
exactly haha
Haha
Then pocket hole drill
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.
Great idea
That’s awesome
Yes! This!
@@handymadness great name
Yes. I wanna see this
“All you need is some lumber, a saw, and a drill”
*Smash cut to 12” jointer*
I get that you can buy lumber already milled but it was just a funny edit. Love the channel!
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.
Also a pocket hole jig and screws....lol
I laughed at that also it was funnier than the "joints" gag and I know he only did it to get the rounded edge off the SPF construction lumber I've seen other videos where they blatantly lie about not using a tool then you see some sort of clue that they in fact did use it but that's not what he was doing at al I don't think
looks like he used a festool track saw as well
Haha I totally caught that, oh and a fancy pants spray machine, and I think he way wearing a fit bit on one wrist and an Apple Watch on the other. Just in case.
Great job on all 3! It’s definitely easier when you have 200k in tools available.
🤣
I kind of enjoy pulling off the same things people do with 200k in tools with my normal Joe tools. Challenge is fun figuring out ways to get the same result
For me it's not a great job with last one. THat bow tie looks like s***. I know that you should reinforce such cracks, but then why not do it from the bottom? And this bow tie doesn't even match colour with rest of table.
Jordan. Your table was awesome. Missionish style.
Closer to missionary style.
Jordan's is the best looking one hands down. Simple yet elegant
You’re the best looking one hands down
All 3 were awesome in their own way! Im gonna try making the beginner as a coffee table, the intermediate as a kitchen table and the expert as a custom desk. Go Steelers!
I like how in recent videos Jordan doesn’t actually seem depressed on camera😂😂
John finally paid him his first check!
Thank you!
I'm with Jordan... The best things in life are free. Love the tiered woodworking video :)
We all use Macs
"I don't use a mac"
I really like the concept behind the intermediate one. Would be cool to see it with the top bowtied together at the split while maintaining a small gap.
Bowties are ugly, I don't understand the apeal
@@paulhopkins1905 To each there own, but I never liked them either. Same with waterfall tables and live edge furniture. Majority of clients don't seem to like them either, but maybe it's just because of my area.
It's a design that is simple and great for specific audiences. I'm actually thinking about doing a bowtie pattern for my daughter's desk. My skill level isn't that great, but it's worth a try.
Plus, the inlay concept can be done with lightning bolts, triple diamonds, or any other blocky design that will keep the gap from widening.
@@castraiter personally, I don't like the whole live edge stuff anyway. Any lumber with unstable cracks doesn't get used
"I trust myself to be able to line up two pieces of wood" - famous last words!
Yes! hahahah
@@John_Malecki
Hoffman blacksmithing is personal friend of mine, he makes some of best axes on the market, be happy to hook you up with him for your custom handles on door.
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.
Seeing the DIY project, me: "Ooh, I wanna build that too!"
Seeing the intermediate project, me: "Ooh, I wanna build that too!"
Seeing the Pro project, me: "Ooh, I wanna build that too!"
Damnit, Jordan/Sam/John, now I'll have three coffee tables in my living room 😁
Just keep 2 in the closet always mix em up keep the company guessing lol
@@austinvickymoore3656 hahaha
Oh the 3, Jordans's is the one I'd put in my living room.
I liked Jordan’s… great job guys
I'm digging Jordan's best 👌
Jordan's was the best and it wasn't even close. Simple doesn't mean beginner, complicated doesn't mean pro.
Excellent work on these, boys!
These are great. Sam's coffee table is my favorite. I like the simple design but the details are great.
Got to say I think I like Jordan’s best, certainly as a piece of furniture that I would put in my house.
Sam wins! Top job! 👏👏
I been planning to build that intermediate table just much much larger for a dinning room table. This helped with my planning
Really loving this one. I would honestly love to try all 3 of these! Thanks lads
Always good to watch the processes here..
I love Sam's coffee table
I love how the beginner level actually used beginner tools!!! Love this version.
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.
My fave 3 levels so far!
John's was the most elegant thing I've seen him build!
I love them all so good job guys 👍.
John:we use Mac for the business and Jordan says it don't use Mac....damn it Jordan 🤣😂. I couldn't resist. 😊👍❤️❤️❤️. You all did good 😉
I have that same hat. Go Bucks. Really enjoy your videos!! All of you guys.
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…
Need to get me one of them DIY festool track saws!
MDF and a circle saw!
Got it at Walmart, it was on sale
@@jordanheider2662 i did not know walmart sells festool track saws.
I like Jordan’s the most. More practical with the extra space to put stuff underneath but still off the ground
Yea a lot of people like the shelf
Beautiful work, guys! 😃
The three of them turned out fantastic!
Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
The. Christmas Poo! Love all the tables
all 3 tables are pretty sweet guys.
Take this to the next level and have 3 skill level for a specific style of project. Ex:3 skill levels for mid century modern bedside table. This series is great!
The beginner table used, a table saw, a miter saw, a track saw, and a fancy lacquer sprayer.
"All we need is some lumber, a saw and a drill" lmao
Jordan also used the jointer
I used a Table Saw, a Mitre Saw and a fancy sprayer when I built my first coffee table as a beginner... Because I was fortunate enough to have access to the tools. Plenty of Maker Spacers and Workshops will let you use their tools for a small fee. they'll even show you how to use them safely.
All three looked pretty darn good. Love these kinds of videos.
All 3 were very nice 👍 great job all !!!!!
I actually need a coffee table. Great timing.
love this, I need to do a coffee table video! The grumpy lumberjack will be the Pro and the old lady (me) is definitely the amateur! Thanks for the inspiration
Watch out John your 2 guys are quickly catching up to you. Sweet tables all. 👍
Love this video series. I can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
First off, I love all your videos. All the builds you do turn out great! I particularly love the burnt ones. Can you do kitchen tables either 3 stages or just one. Keep on keepin on!
I Like Sam's ... Because Sam Is, 'Sam He Is' !!
Keep Doing What Your Doing .. Because What You Are Doing, Is Nothing Short Of Amazing
I like all of them. Good job guys!!
Beautiful design👍👍👍
From the thumbnail photo, the one referenced as amature is actually the coolest.
Gotta go with the first table
Cool video! Love these!
I have to agree with you that's Sam's looks the best
look forward to ur videos every sunday!!
I have to say I am a fan of Jordan's table.
I have to say I am a fan of you!
Nice ! I like all three.
You guys are freaking awesome. Love videos like this, well love all the vids you guys do. Really inspiring for me to keep building things. 😎
Awesome work guys. The walnut table is my favorite but I would buy all three.
I love these different level of builds, but as an actually DIY hobbiest, I don't have any type of several hundred dollar worth of planer/jointer, I don't even have a pocket hole jig but that's easy enough.
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.
Agreed, I like Sam's best.
I'm enjoying the channel so far guys....also a wood worker in the 'burgh. Good stuff.
Pantorouter FTW.
Matthias is smiling!
Yours and Sam's were great
Glad you like them my friend
i enjoy this kind of vid very much thnx for the content.
What j do before stain, is get some prestain it brings out more the natural color, like the red oak makes it more red. Then stain it.
Really love this series!
i really like diresta. no talk, ALL action.
He publishes way more often than me, so you can watch lots more of his stuff!
Lift top coffee table
Sam table is simple beauty
i love the 3 levels... great video as always
Love the 3 level of build competition's
gonna have to say Sam crushed it yet again in the 3 tier builds. but that being said Sam's is the one I would have in the living room, but if I had a mancave type place, I would have Johns
We try to plan sams build to hit the largest segment of our audience, because we know a lot of people are past beginner and dont care for my stuff. Love hearing this my friend, thank you for taking the time to comment!
@@John_Malecki I mean I wouldn't call myself a pro, but yeah past beginner, I am actually at the point where I'm trying to make that my profession
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.
Give us a shout out on that little glue roller. Havent been able to find one like it.
Woodcraft!
Johns build was classy
Love this channel and so glad I found it. I am just about to start my first wood project with making a desktop for my office.
I was also looking into buying some bookshelves but thought I would see if you have one of these 3 level builds for a bookshelf. I do not see it so I want to request this idea
for a future video.
Part way in, Jordan starts clamping his pocket hole assemblies and I feel this weight lifted off my soul.
So how do you clean your spray guns and maintain them? It would be cool to see a video how you maintain some of your tools
We run cleaners through them. To keep them clean. We also run multiple guns for different finishes to not contaminate
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.
Nice job
Sam nice and clean 👌
I really like these videos. Is there any way you can include the time it takes and a price point for each one? It would really help people that are just starting figure out how to price and estimate jobs.
All three tables are awesome can you build tables just using just wooden pin like old barn construction?
I think you would be kind of fun to see you guys build homemade Ikea furniture. Preferably some of the random stuff they have.
I thought of this during the second coffee table build when he said it had a Scandinavian design. And that's basically Ikea. So why not?
I would say I like Jordan's table the best. But they are all great.
Jordans was the only one I'd put in my house lol
Damn guys, now I have three tables I want to build!
That was cool
Go Bucks Jordan!
I like simple and basic. Jordan's is my choice
Sam was the best! /Sweden
GO BUCKS!
white oak has a gold sparkly thing going on when cut. red oak just depends on where it's from.
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.
if you want it to be center measure the the outside then measure the other one then subtract it ,devide it by 2 always perfect
Go Steelers!!
Jordan: "I don't use Mac" 🤣 That is the right decision sir.
It’s hard being the only pc guy in the office
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.
Hey Jordan nice table like the hat O-H
I think I liked Jordan's best. They all rocked though!
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.
