Wow. I've watched you since the typewriter video. My wife has watched Jenna for a very long time. I introduced my wife to you a while ago and I watched Jenna with my wife for a year. The audible gasp in our house when you said "This is Jenna Phipps" This is kinda awesome.
Years ago I bought a huge trailer load of old boards salvaged from a barn tear down that has been setting outside for awhile. I think I paid $30 for the whole thing. One other person at the auction chastised me for wasting my money on stuff unfit to even be firewood. I found that once it was cleaned and planed it was beautiful oak with some character. The furniture I've made has been beautiful! Not bad for a pile of worthless scrap wood.😊
Just found this page....glad I did. If you're ever building a table like that again another way to get all of the legs into the same plane is to put the table onto your table saw or other flat surface, shim it up so that it's level and then take a pencil on the flat surface and drag mark it all around the bottoms of the legs. Then, you cut to the pencil line either by hand or with a powersaw of some kind. If you want to get really fancy, attach a razor blade from a utility knife to a 1/4 inch piece of scrap and make the marks around the legs that way. Happy making!
Be careful with exterior grade stuff. Exterior grade paints and finishes are allowed to off-gas more harmful gasses while interior grade ones are not. Using exterior paint and finished inside can be a recipe for future health disasters. Please do some deep research before using exterior finishes indoors.
@@KaliBlaz Companies often just produce one product for the entire country because it’s cheaper than maintaining separate things for CA. For example, I live in KS and everything has CA cancer warnings on it. And look at your seatbelts. You probably have a red button, that’s only required in Europe. Here in KS, exterior sheeting definitely has more toxic content. There are warnings to wear gloves and wash hands posted nearby. And exterior paint has warnings right on it about only using outdoors.
Hey Morley, I think you did a really awesome job on these end tables. I think you've grown to new heights, and finding a maker space is super awesome. Glad you're back to building. I'm in the southern Vancouver lol Washington.
Morley! The talent that you’ve been gifted is absolutely amazing. I love your videos more than anything. You are the one channel that I follow that I constantly look for a new upload. Incredible work!
Nicely done. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one as the design and the tables appear to be one and the same! As to what you should do with the other beams? Well being that your wife is VERY PATIENT with you (I mean really - finishing the tables on the kitchen table? That would be a death sentence in most families!!!) just sit on them and let them talk to you, inspire you ! You will find a great use for these really cool wood chunks!!
Beautiful work. Love your videos and the fact you show you audience that you don’t need large personal spaces and expensive tools (other than the domino you have 🤦♂️ lol😂)… I found I maker space near me I searched for after watching this and I scheduled a tour for tomorrow (10/17/24). Keep up the great work.
I see a lot of people saying "you call this high end" and things like "its more useful for firewood than this garbage" Don't listen to them. I think the dumbest comment I saw was about giving it to someone "more skilled" than yourself. This is your work, and you'll get better the more you work on it. These are your projects to complete, and you're learning. Great job
This is the first time RUclips has introduced you to me. Fantastic work! I wish people would see things like the Festool as an aspirational tool rather than an unattainable tool. I don’t have one, but I will. I don’t have a pneumatic sander either… but I will. I’m looking forward to pouring through your other videos.
We are going to the grand opening of a New Maker Space, in Talent Oregon, tomorrow. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It’s moving from a small location to a brand new building with much more room. The new building is part of our revitalization of downtown Talent. After the Alameda fire of 2020 took out that part of downtown.
Great video as usual! I could see a nice studio desk with that beautiful wood. With a keyboard tray under it for electronic piano or MIDI controller keyboard. Just a note about the Festool Domino. It's stated that dust extraction must always be used with it. It helps with tool longevity and performance.
Been watching so many of your videos since I got into 3d printing about 2 months ago. Didn't realize your name was Morley until a few days ago. I live in the tiny Michigan town of Morley. You should visit the town some time, not that there's much to do, but it would be a silly little adventure!
I have seen a LOT of RUclips makers using that joiner tool. I don't need one it's not something I have a use for with what I make at the moment.. but I had no idea they cost that much. I would have guessed a third of that given how many I have seen on RUclips using one so casually.
hey !! a great way to get rid of a wobble is to set your table saw as low as possible and run your table or chair on it side to side !! hope this helps
Great job! Looks just like the photos. I think a giant dining table would be pretty great. Big flat doug fir top and chunky legs, essentially like the legs of the side tables but scaled up (if you have enough wood?)
Very nice tables! I'm glad I found your channel and you got to save those beams. Quick tip for the bandsaw, lower the guard to about a thumbnails height above the work for a better and safer cut. For those big beams, you could go the table route, or something upright, like lamps or one of those planter trees. Maybe a headboard or a bench? How about cut them down to make a hanging lamp for above a table? Either way, I'm looking forward to your next video!
I have 12” wide, 12’ long old growth Douglas fir shelving rescued from an old factory in Seattle and trucked home to Port Angeles. It was from their office storeroom, cut to fit (no nails) and never had finish applied. In working with Doug Fir, I learned it gets harder and harder the older it is. Hoping to someday make a bookcase out of some of it. But it seems I now have more fun turning wood than doing flat work. So it sits in my pole barn getting occasional admiration. Glad you lucked into some.
My dude, I get why you had to go on the van adventure. And why you had to stop. It's one of those things you have to go through and experience. I'm glad you are back doing this kind of work. I was going to come donate you a bandsaw, but your maker space has you set up right. A couple of years will pass by so fast, but those end tables will last forever. I have some good ideas about what you can do with that exquisite old growth lumber sitting in your apartment, but I am confident the best idea will come to you on your own. Trust your first feelings on this.
Lovely video again! Really cool that you just use a public workspace this way. I should start looking into such things here myself haha! Maybe it would be nice to make a puppet house since the woods was originaly used for a house? Or maybe a dog house/cat house, litter box maybe?
7:39 is why I barely ever use my Domino and favour the Dowelmax. The Domino shifts so easily during a cut taking things out of alignment. In this clip here you can see the back edge of the face plate lift off the work as you plunge in
Hello! Not a subscriber here, just watched this video since it was on my recommended. As another commenter suggested, I would definitely suggest you reconsider using exterior finish if you are applying it in an enclosed indoor space. Might be a better idea to keep it covered outside to allow for proper and safe off-gassing. I'd also suggest wearing proper PPE while sawing/jointing/planing. I saw that you wore a barrier face cover (BCF) during such operations which provides little protection when dealing with particulate matter. Definitely get an NIOSH approved respirator -or at the very least an N95- to protect your lungs! Otherwise, good job! I'm not a huge fan of the design as I think it's too bulky for my taste. However, my opinion on the design is not relevant as long as your client is happy and I can see that they really loved it! Overall great job and stay safe!!!
If you want another project, for the unfinished house, you could go with a chair that is legless, and would lean back, on the floor. That way, the table can be higher up so you can lounge on the floor next to the table.
Hi Morley! Its always exciting to see another video uploaded by you. Although I must say, I highly prefer your old style of wood working videos. The storytelling is so much better, the build is much more satisfying, the backgroud music and compilation and time lapses were very nice to watch and the progress of the build is more apparent which makes the end result more satisfying. Just a thought out there just in case youre looking for constructive criticism
Thanks for the feedback! Constructive criticism is always welcome 😊 Sometimes different projects just demand different styles. If we stay the same, we’ll sink. But rest assured, hype background music and satisfying timelapses aren’t going anywhere 😁
I will subscribe to any woodworking channel that just uses a domino and doesn't feel the need to bring up how many people "hate" on them. Just use the tools you want, don't feel like you have to explain yourself to a bunch of jealous poors
It took me a minute to recognize Jenna, but then I was like... wait a minute, I know who that is! Lol, I haven't been keeping up with them, so it's crazy to see how far their house has come.
That’s a pretty good job. I typically wouldn’t call a table that might be well made, but made out of a wood that’s rotten and has a couple holes in it high end furniture. It gives off more of a rustic vibe for me. I think if you put a table top on it that extended out a couple of inches it would have looked a little bit better. Great job.
I think what you made looks amazing - much like everything else i've seen you do . May i ask what y'all plan on doing with your van ? If it has a tow kit on the back , i am extremely interested .
Great vid and love all your content. Ive been wondering, is there a specific software you use to design these projects, or you sketch and design along the way?
I was watching and wondering why you were not using a stop block to cut those massive logs. As I typed my comment .....you realized a stop-block would make everything much easier. LOL
I miss dumpster diving/ I need sell some of my findings or sell wood projects cedar bird houses and 2’x3’ max wooded countertops and maybe as kit for shipping w/ wood or metal legs w/ some assembly
The hardwood/softwood thing always used to trip me up… After all Balsa Wood is actually hardwood despite being the softest wood around! I instead call them deciduous & evergreen to avoid the confusion…
"Douglas Fir is a softwood - which means it comnes from a conifer." - so "soft" and "hard" are rather odd words to have used in the definition. I have read, for example, that balsa is classified as a hardwood. For those interested, Google defines them as ... _Softwood is a term used to describe timber sourced from coniferous or needle-leaved trees. Hardwood is sourced from deciduous and evergreen broad-leaved trees. As a general rule, hardwoods tend to be denser than softwoods, making them sturdier and more weather resistant._

Same , i really enjoying watching wood working this guy dose
@@edvardasurbanovic8418 he has a great way of making it approachable. I love this channel.
Awesome job, love these reclaimed wood videos. So glad you've brought them back man. The tables came out amazing.
Thank you!
I've been following Jenna basically from exactly when she started on the house, and you for much longer. I was SO excited to see her in your video!!
Old growth doug fir never disappoints. Glad you've been able to get back into woodworking again. Wonderful, all the way around.

Pretty spot on work. Again. So happy to see woodworking videos
I love Jenna she is hilarious. I’m glad you found her and made use of the old wood from her house.
Nicely done. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one as the design and the tables appear to be one and the same! As to what you should do with the other beams?

wow, you made it! you have festools! let’s gooooo 🎉 haha great build! results looked beautiful.
Haha thanks man! Now just gotta ship my festool track saw from my storage unit in Ontario
Glad to see you back making. You nailed the design the tables look great. My vote is for a kitchen table for the beams you have left .

Happy to see woodworking content :) love your work Morley
That turned out really, really nice.
I love Jenna and was upset to see so much good wood go to waste. What an awesome collab!
Looks good. I would say that you absolutely completed the mission.
I have seen a LOT of RUclips makers using that joiner tool. I don't need one it's not something I have a use for with what I make at the moment.. but I had no idea they cost that much. I would have guessed a third of that given how many I have seen on RUclips using one so casually.
YAY!! I'm here for a Jenna Phipps/Morley Kert collab!!
I'm so jealous of being able to work with that quality of old-growth wood.
Hooray for makerspaces! I belong to The Bodgery in Madison, WI, which is a tool wonderland quite similar to the one Morley depicts!
hey !! a great way to get rid of a wobble is to set your table saw as low as possible and run your table or chair on it side to side !! hope this helps
Great video Morley. Welcome back to woodworking.
Always treasure that woman, sir. and treat her to many thank you's in HER love language.
I don't know what but Morley's videos are so smooth

Well done 👍🏻
Two nice pieces from fairly ordinary wood.
I’d like to see a church pew style bench type thing for the remainder 🤔
Absoultly NAILED this project (pun intended). I am excited to see what you use the rest of the wood for!

😮😊 awesome project looks great, you can do a fireplace mantel, that would be great, keep up the great work 😊
Absolutely incredible work!
Thank yoU!
those beams would make an awesome workbench top!
HE IS BACKK🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It took me a minute to recognize Jenna, but then I was like... wait a minute, I know who that is! Lol, I haven't been keeping up with them, so it's crazy to see how far their house has come.
Lovvvvve Doug Fir timber...Thats a major score
I will fly to Vancouver to help you figure out something with that big Wood that you have left over that you’re storing in your house! 😊
That’s a pretty good job. I typically wouldn’t call a table that might be well made, but made out of a wood that’s rotten and has a couple holes in it high end furniture. It gives off more of a rustic vibe for me. I think if you put a table top on it that extended out a couple of inches it would have looked a little bit better. Great job.
Maybe those beams would make a nice bookshelf
Really cool project, the only thing I would have done different if they were for me is use a colored spacer, maybe black or gold.
a giant dining table would be so sweet with the other beams!!
Great video and story. Nicely done! ❤
In terms of the original inspiration you nailed it, but it would have been cool to see you try putting in a drawer or little hidden compartment
Having that wood in your apartment could be dangerous because it can contain Harmful mold
Great work love your videos keep it
up man😊😊
Those 2 beams HAVE to be turned into a kitchen highseat bar-top!
Beautiful work
Gorgeous work. 👍👍
I love your videos, cheers from France :) 🇨🇵
Those look like wisdom teeth! Perfect cabinets for a dentist's office (I say with love - they are pretty cool)
Good job on those 👏🏽 waiting for ur next video
I think what you made looks amazing - much like everything else i've seen you do . May i ask what y'all plan on doing with your van ? If it has a tow kit on the back , i am extremely interested .
Keeping the van! Weekend adventures and transporting large furniture items like these 😊
@@MorleyKert awesome i appreciate it thank you looking forward to seeing more bravo man i just do uShip maybe y'all would enjoy that too
Chefs kiss ❤
You did a great job 👍🏽💜
I'm sorry for those who can't see this video, it's so great
Use a small piece of the remaining wood to build an electric guitar body
That wood be pretty cool.
Very cool !
Nailed it, Morley! No pun intended lol.
It seems odd to remove the outer walls. Obv I don't know the design but I always leave something standing and build off it if I can.
You should use the leftover timber to make yourself a new kitchen table! 😂
You nailed it👌
Great vid and love all your content.
Ive been wondering, is there a specific software you use to design these projects, or you sketch and design along the way?
Loving it
i have used similar beams as cross legs for a homemade workbench! I think it would be cool wtching you make your own workbench :D
Dropping a comment for the algorithm 🫶🏼
You should make the spiked sculpture from Beetlejuice, but tweak it so it can be used as a chair.
I was watching and wondering why you were not using a stop block to cut those massive logs. As I typed my comment .....you realized a stop-block would make everything much easier. LOL
I miss dumpster diving/ I need sell some of my findings or sell wood projects cedar bird houses and 2’x3’ max wooded countertops and maybe as kit for shipping w/ wood or metal legs w/ some assembly
Build an heirloom dining table that barely fits in that room and give it to that supportive woman in your life.
Floating bed will be fine to do for the long fur beams

Same OMG so excited
