DIY Floating Table: Building Without Jointer or Thickness Planer

  • I'd been meaning to make this floating table since we moved into the house, but kept on putting it off. I made the table with mostly the tools that I had, no jointer and no thickness planer. It did not go smoothly. But I got there in the end and I (and my wife) are happy with the result.

    " Because I don't have a Jointer.... "
    Good lord, how many hours a decent Jointer can save me. If only my father has the mindset to not force his tool beyond it's recommended usage, we might have a Jointer and a Bandsaw instead of three dead Hand Planer, one dead cicular saw, one burned out cordless hand drill ( old model, without any spareparts available anymore ) and one cracked hand grinder.
    Anyway, ranting aside.
    The table turned out great !. Great job, Jaya !

    Your bespoke furniture fits the space well. I personally think practical videos like this, ones that show someone applying what they've learned from others, are an important intermediary step between absolute beginner and master craftsman - your video is realistic and counteracts the hard to obtain perfection we see on pro and semi-pro woodworking channels. It's actually super inspiring to see, so thanks!

    I'm here to say I like the table. I know you had a care factor factor going on, but tables are hard. I like the floating table top effect. I have a very large Tasmanian blackwood table made by my father (3 m x 1.5 m) nearly 40 years ago. It was influenced by the brutalist archicture of the time and I have always loved it. It is super solid and needs at least 3 people to even lift it. It was built as the "everyday table", but it doubles as my desk and dining table. The great thing is that the "mistakes" made by my father make me feel close to him 40 years later. Revel in your learning experience!

    Nice work, Jaya. Your carpentry skills have gotten quite impressive over the last few years. And once again, I’m surprised by just how many similarities there are between our two houses. Your dining room table (along with the room decor) looks a lot like ours…right down to the posts you had to fit it between. In contrast though, we cut a notch into the end of ours so it actually fits around the post. (My idea. Surprised my wife went for it.) The other major difference is… that we got our carpenter to make it for us. So again, I’m impressed by your skills. お疲れさまでした! 🍻

The result is beautiful and I love the story that goes along with the idiosyncrasies of your result. It is a true family treasure. Very good job!

  • @clydedecker765
    @clydedecker765 Год назад +1

    Ishitani - GREAT inspiration. I assume by now you have discovered that the problem with the router is the bit collar loosening on you and allowing the bit to slip. Give it a good cleaning to get rid of the sap and other flotsam clogging the router collet and the bit shank. Then stop occasionally to reassure that the collet is still tight on the bit. I assumed that you would resort to using hand planes to do most of your smoothing. Surprise - you didn't. Using hand planes to do reduction of major warps and cupping can speed the thicknessing process. Glad to see you back on RUclips.

    • @TokyoLlama
      @TokyoLlama  Год назад

      Thanks, yes, I didn't realise that the flotsam and jetsam in the collar would have such a big effect as I made sure it was tight before using. Lesson learned (after making the same mistake twice...) In regards to hand planes, I wanted to use them more, but mine was blunt, and then when I researched how to sharpen Japanese hand planes... to be honest I got lazy, so tried to rely on the sander.

    Hi Tokyo Llama,
    I have been a wood working hobbyist myself for 7 years and have had similar troubles with my routers. My problems were caused by the collet and bit shank being different sizes. In one case I had a 1/2" collet and a 12mm shank bit.
    On my palm router I had the original collet that was always too tight. I ordered a new 1/4" collet and it fixed the problem. Collets can be ordered in imperial or metric and are inter-changeable. Love your videos!

    • @TokyoLlama

    To joint the edges you could also flip them up, clamp together and use your flattening jig. Though it's definitely a slow way. People do the same thing with a thickness planer.

      I found the track saw method to be easy and almost perfect - happy to do it that way next time.

    Congratulations. It wasn't a particularly easy project and you made a good show of it. I say this as a British carpenter who has spent the past decade living in Japan.

    Love the entire series. I admire the skill and patience to get these skills in the first place. I‘m the kind of guy that would spend huge amounts to pay other people to do it for me.

      That’s a fair enough thing to do - given the time spent doing this you have to enjoy it for it to be worth it I think.

    Damn, that one piece of Masterworks right there, friend! You just made Ron Swanson proud!
    Send this video to Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson).
    He probably feeling something watching your work. Then, sent you a personal invitation to his workshop & a bottle of Lagavulin to congratulate on the new stunning dining table

    Thank you for showing all the ups and downs. I am learning so much right along with you. I feel like everyone of your struggles is my struggle and everyone of your victories, mine as well. Gives me courage and hope to carry on. Shed a few tears myself today when the simplest of tasks, turned out to be another problem bigger than it should have been. It's good to be reminded to carry on. Thank you for that. 💙

    Hi Jaya , I have wondered where you were and how the house was progressing. I assumed you needed a job to save up for more renovations. The table looked awesome, and I was impressed how you built the sled to solve the problem of planning. Hopefully we will see you renovating and building furniture more frequently, your carpentry and plastering skills have developed remarkably.

    The table turned out beautifully, and the wood grains are gorgeous. What I liked the most was that you used materials you already had on hand before deciding that you needed to buy a bit more to finish the project. "If at first you don't succeed, try try again". Making mistakes is all part of learning, and your woodworking skills are showing more and more improvement. Keep it up!!!
