Thanks for watching! This was a challenging design and a fun build! I figured I'd take a moment and answer some of the questions that I've been getting here. Q: Is the top heavy to lift? A: Not since I used Cedar. Cedar is a very soft and light wood that is great for outdoor furniture because of its resilience to the elements. In this case, it was the perfect choice. If you build this out of a more dense wood, expect the top to be a little more challenging to open. Q: Aren't you afraid of accidentally bumping it closed when it's open? A: It's actually more difficult than you would think. The top pivots up and out, meaning that for it to close, it takes a lifting action. However, if you're concerned with it, you could use some of the left over 1" dowel and inset it into the support post with a mortise in the leg for it to lock into. Q: How sturdy is the table? Looks a little flimsy. A: It's a little wobbly as you deploy it, but once that support post is in position, it's stable. Obviously, you can't do handstands on it, but it will hold up just fine for dinner to be had. It's similar in sturdiness to one of those fold-up card tables that Grandma always uses at Thanksgiving for the kids to eat at. Q: Is there storage in it? You should have added storage. Why didn't you add storage? I could store things in it! A: Between the diagonal supports and the support post that hangs down from the table surface, the potential storage space is very minimal. Yes, you could add some slats across the bottom, but you won't be able to store a ton of stuff in it. Q: What did you use for finish? A: Thompson's transparent water seal Q: What program did you use to design it? A: Fusion360 Q: Is Fusion360 hard to learn?? A: Yes Q: Did you really put fish in the heating registers of your college dining hall? A: You better believe it!
Love watching these old vids I missed. Today I cut a walnut glue up 22 15/16 instead of 23 15/16. I’m so glad I’m not the only muppet that can manage making beautiful furniture using the cut twice measure once, then glue and cut again methodology.
Im the meanest person in the world, to myself, in my shop. You dumbass - yup you screwed that up again - man that looks like crap. Then at the end of it all, "hey that didnt turn out half bad."
There are plenty of boring,straight forward people on RUclips. Humor and charisma with good instructions can attract people just as much, probably more, than just instructive content. This is great stuff
Clever design! Thanks for showing the doofus moments. It really helps the rest of us just getting going! I try not to get mad at myself when I have my doofus moments and seeing more accomplished woodworkers still making mistakes truly helps me keep my perspective. Congrats on a nice piece for your patio.
I have watched hundreds of DIY videos, but gave never enjoyed a video as much as I did this one. Amazing idea, build and commentary. I loved everything about this.
Awesome video. Love the humor and the REAL LIFE of any wood worker. You always see 10 minute videos of projects working out “perfectly “ but never see the reAl side of things. Again great video.
ok, You are officially my new favorite woodworking channel. Thanks for including the outtakes, it means a lot to amateur woodworkers like me to see that you call out your stupidity in the shop just like I do. Sometimes in this instagram world we live in, we always see just the finished products of others, and the frustration of our own projects and we want to give up. Thanks for keepin it real.
Just started woodworking about a year ago and realized your stop block on your miter table is nicer than any crooked birdhouse I've made. Love the channel!!!!
I watch woodworking videos all day, to learn and get ideas. This has been one of the most enjoyable videos I’ve seen in the last 5 years. Thank you for this.
Your stop frame animation skills are highly under-rated! Considering the effort it must have taken to do the 'self sorting lumber' bit all for a 'small joke' its a testament to your commitment to high quality content!
Oh thank god im not the only one who messes up!!! Please keep the outtakes going. When mistakes aren’t shown it gets discouraging bc the other guys make it look so simple and easy. I love the table! I’m gonna make that!
For the 8 years of me on RUclips I have about 20-25 subbed channels, this is one of them. Great job for all the projects you did. Very good craftsmanship, love it.
This is awesome. This is what I was planning on building for my deck. You have no idea how much I appreciate the outtakes. Makes me not feel so bad I good and have to give it another go.
I love this piece. One of my favorites from your channel. I think you could use a locking pin though. I can visualize someone hip checking the table top down while food and drinks are on it.
This project was very cool and someday I’ll get around to the exterior of the house and then the backyard and then the patio and THEN I can do this table! Love the dog marking his territory...
This was awesome. I bet your shop smelled heavenly while you were working this project. I love your sense of humor. I aspire to be able to do a project that looks half as good as one of yours
I love how awesome this turned out! Also this is the first skillshare ad I've watched all the way through in a long time. Loved the evenly spaced jokes throughout!
This is such a lovely and beautiful piece! I love the outtakes at the end, it gets to show me experienced woodworkers would still make mistakes like I always do, and I shouldn’t get too frustrated and give up.
I really like your video, this is an amazing creation and you showed us your mistakes so that it allows me to forgive myself for sometimes making mistakes in woodwork. Thanks for sharing your experience, this is one of the best videos I watched during my self quarantine.
It's very nice, thank you as well for the outtakes, I watched it in the morning before work and I laughed hard, looks like someone other than myself glues things the wrong way, a perfect way to set the tone for my day.
Another great build Drew, the colours that popped out were amazing, i see why you love that wood so much. Oh and i think your dog was making its mark on the table, as his property now ha ha ha. Barry (ENG)
Nice job! You almost have me convinced I could build that table. Also, I think it would be a nice storage spot inside it for Drew when he's outside, since he didn't show much respect!
Awesome job. I love the video and I love the outtakes even more. Glad to see I am not the only one who makes major mistakes like gluing in the pieces upside down.
Great work. Hope I can complete this project once I get everything ready. Wonder how it will come together with pocket holes. Loved the bloopers. Woodworking seems relaxing and peaceful. Thank again.
Dude I always love watching your videos!!! Your voiceover comedy is one of a kind and outtake are epic. Your not the only one that makes mistakes like that lol. Keep them coming brother
I'm actually building a cedar planter right now and the legs are made of the same 4x4s, and I, like you, milled them down to 3x3. I got 2 posts that were perfectly straight at the store and were nice and bowed by the time I got home, I could literally see it happening in the bed of the pickup in my rear view on the way home. I am sure glad I was able to cut them into 2 foot sections and mill them flat. Nice work on the table!
A couple ideas for add-on's later, if you think they have any merit. Where the lift arm touches the top rail, a dent in each corner edge might appear over time. If that should start to happen, countersunk screws in each member at that point with the heads just touching each other, would prevent further denting and keep the top level (although the leg extension and V-channel will probably prevent that). Also, a full bottom spanning and resting atop the lower rails would provide some useful storage, for games, cups, mats, napkins, etc. (plus prevent spiders, wasps and other critters from finding a home under there). Anyway, well done! I'd make this, but I can't drive the Home Depot forklift yet. Maybe someday.... :)
That is an absolutely beautiful table . I never really realised just how brethtakingly lovely looking cedar is .The outtakes were great . Clearly your dog does not fully recognise your genius efforts.Ha ha ha .
Love the table! I love working with cedar and the table with the clear coat makes the wood pop. I bust out laughing when I saw the dog marking the table. Great video.
How funny, someone else that speaks just like I do. Also, speaks to self the same way. Love it!! Beautiful herringbone pattern on the top of the table.

@FishersShop is woodworking your actual job or a side hustle?
Just a hobby.
@@FishersShop nice
Where do you buy the self sorting lumber? I can't find it at the local home store
What spray rig did you use to apply finish? Have you done a video on it?
Love watching these old vids I missed. Today I cut a walnut glue up 22 15/16 instead of 23 15/16. I’m so glad I’m not the only muppet that can manage making beautiful furniture using the cut twice measure once, then glue and cut again methodology.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I screw up
Fisher's Shop is the Bob Ross of the wood working world. So easy to watch. Keep up the great work and funny outtakes!
yes he is and it is calming and funny
upside down legs are just little happy accidents
Omg yes. I can fall asleep to his videos they’re so soothing. I never Listen to peoples adds but I do his cuz the way he talks is just satisfying
Yes! Makes it look so easy but us mere mortals could never recreate it.
Agree! “Are you peeing on my table?”
Dog: “It’s my table now.”
Definitely my favorite content creator. Great work as usual!
Dude, the bloopers, that's totally me in my shop, ever the exterior dialogue between me and myself. And I don't even have a camera running. Love it.
Im the meanest person in the world, to myself, in my shop. You dumbass - yup you screwed that up again - man that looks like crap. Then at the end of it all, "hey that didnt turn out half bad."
My dialog usually involves more swearing. Much more swearing.
Much much much more swearing with the biggie words and an occasional tool tossing episode.
Peter Filardo
How could this happen is my way to often and then figure out how to solve the holy xxxx issue. Great job on the touch of reality.
Same here. And I talk to myself in first person plural. Please don't tell me that's weird, I'll just be worried.
I love it! I will be getting the plans and saying "crap" a lot in the near future!!!
You got this!
There are plenty of boring,straight forward people on RUclips. Humor and charisma with good instructions can attract people just as much, probably more, than just instructive content.
This is great stuff
The outtakes 😂😂😂
I thought I only did dumb stuff in the shop, appreciate your videos and honesty. Great table BTW!
Thanks, Gary!
Clever design! Thanks for showing the doofus moments. It really helps the rest of us just getting going! I try not to get mad at myself when I have my doofus moments and seeing more accomplished woodworkers still making mistakes truly helps me keep my perspective. Congrats on a nice piece for your patio.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
I just love your subtle humor. Makes it even funnier.
I really like the outtakes because it shows that I'm not the only one that stuff things up
I have watched hundreds of DIY videos, but gave never enjoyed a video as much as I did this one. Amazing idea, build and commentary. I loved everything about this.
Thanks James!
Awesome video. Love the humor and the REAL LIFE of any wood worker. You always see 10 minute videos of projects working out “perfectly “ but never see the reAl side of things. Again great video.
Thanks Tim!
I’m not sure if I’ve seen a single one of your videos that I haven’t wanted to do. And I look forward to the outtakes every time. You’re awesome, man.
Well thanks so much! :)

Thank you very much!
I love that you set expectations low, and surprise yourself every time!
I've never giggled so much while watching a building project. Thank you for sharing your GLORIOUS sense of humour.
Oh thank god im not the only one who messes up!!! Please keep the outtakes going. When mistakes aren’t shown it gets discouraging bc the other guys make it look so simple and easy.
I love the table! I’m gonna make that!
Awesome! Have fun with the build, Tim!
I wish I was your neighbor. The woodwork wood be great, but you have the sense of humor I really enjoy.
For the 8 years of me on RUclips I have about 20-25 subbed channels, this is one of them. Great job for all the projects you did. Very good craftsmanship, love it.
Thanks!
Did he have to do the self-sorting lumber bit?
No.
Did it take forever?
Yes.
Was it hilarious and worth it?
Always.
He did that for us. Never forget it.
I have no need for a table like this, but watching you build stuff always gives me inspiration for stuff I DO need.
This is awesome. This is what I was planning on building for my deck. You have no idea how much I appreciate the outtakes. Makes me not feel so bad I good and have to give it another go.
I love this piece. One of my favorites from your channel. I think you could use a locking pin though. I can visualize someone hip checking the table top down while food and drinks are on it.

Woodworking and good humor; two of my most favorite things. Thanks Drew
Thanks, Adam!
Another great video Drew! Great design for a great looking table that is even better functionally. Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir!
This was awesome. I bet your shop smelled heavenly while you were working this project. I love your sense of humor. I aspire to be able to do a project that looks half as good as one of yours
Thanks, Joni!
Love the commentary, humor and the builds - appreciate your videos, your the first channel Ive seen add bloopers, much appreciated!
Glad you like them!
Once again, a beautiful project, an informative and funny, funny video! Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks, Tim!
Love the way the table looks and operates! Perfect for the uses you specified.
Thanks bud!
I love how awesome this turned out! Also this is the first skillshare ad I've watched all the way through in a long time. Loved the evenly spaced jokes throughout!
Thanks Zach! And thanks so much for your help with the project.
I've had an idea to make something exactly like that. Thanks for sharing. I really look forward to your videos when I get a notification.
Glad you liked it, Eric
Not sure if I like the table or humor more. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a lovely and beautiful piece!
I love the outtakes at the end, it gets to show me experienced woodworkers would still make mistakes like I always do, and I shouldn’t get too frustrated and give up.
Awesome video man! Love the table. Also your sense of humor gets me everytime.
Thanks! :)
10:59/11:00 - the eternal sound of the happy inventor. Love it!
Just found your channel, you are totally the woodworking version of this old tony.
Really enjoy your videos!
Snuffaluhfaguss yes
Loved the design. It's come out really nice. Hope the table surface does not wobble when it's extended out
I watch your videos as much for the humor as for the inspiration. Thanks.
Love your sense of humor...classic...so funny and you have to listen closely..
I always enjoy your videos! The best part are the bloopers!
This is the best woodworking channel on RUclips.
You make this look so easy, and add a touch of humor at the same time. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!
I really like your video, this is an amazing creation and you showed us your mistakes so that it allows me to forgive myself for sometimes making mistakes in woodwork. Thanks for sharing your experience, this is one of the best videos I watched during my self quarantine.
Thank you so much!
Terrific humor. Keeps me coming back to your channel.
Your humor is golden. Such enjoyable videos!
It's very nice, thank you as well for the outtakes, I watched it in the morning before work and I laughed hard, looks like someone other than myself glues things the wrong way, a perfect way to set the tone for my day.
This may be my favorite project you've done. Looks gorgeous!
Thanks Michael
You have the gift of narration man. Keep it up. Loved this!
Thanks!
Another great build Drew, the colours that popped out were amazing, i see why you love that wood so much. Oh and i think your dog was making its mark on the table, as his property now ha ha ha.
Barry (ENG)
Hah, yup! Thanks, Barry!
Love the project and the humour. Thanks for sharing.
I like you showing mistakes. Most channels don’t. And you should do radio. Great voice. Love the design
Sweet table - I love that you made it all out of wood!
Nice job! You almost have me convinced I could build that table. Also, I think it would be a nice storage spot inside it for Drew when he's outside, since he didn't show much respect!
Your ingenuity is admirable friend. Well done.
The subtle jokes you make are awesome. Keep up the great work !!!
Fisher, I love watching your videos, sir. Thank you for what you do, sir.
Love to see your outtakes on everything you make.
Great job I’ll see you next time.
I really enjoy your humor and can identify with 90% of the blooper reels. Great stuff!
Glad you like them!
Great job and love that you share the bloopers. You do some of the very same things I do when I am working.
Awesome job. I love the video and I love the outtakes even more. Glad to see I am not the only one who makes major mistakes like gluing in the pieces upside down.
Thanks for the last 30 seconds. You showed the little frustrations I encounter in every project :P
Great work. Hope I can complete this project once I get everything ready. Wonder how it will come together with pocket holes. Loved the bloopers. Woodworking seems relaxing and peaceful. Thank again.
hey great built. love your little humour in between. very entertaining and yet educational. thanks man.
Amazing job! Been looking forward to this one since you first posted the idea up on Instagram. Totally worth the wait! Love it.
All around awesome! (I chuckled at the Martha Stewart sorting joke, but then almost spit out my coffee at the insider trading follow-up!)
Very nice build. Enjoyable video.....thanks for taking us along for the build. It was fun.
Thanks, Mike
Nice job man
Very nice table. I loved the video and outtakes. I also love how funny you make it, I agree to the spitting out coffee comment.
Very clever design, the outcome is fantastic.
Thanks for showing the mistakes. It makes me feel better about my mistakes
This video was great....but the outtakes were AMAZING 😂 thank you for adding them to the video!
Dude I always love watching your videos!!! Your voiceover comedy is one of a kind and outtake are epic. Your not the only one that makes mistakes like that lol. Keep them coming brother
Thanks! Glad you like them
Love the commentary! Martha Stewart, insider trading, taking top off... keep up the witty banter!
I'm actually building a cedar planter right now and the legs are made of the same 4x4s, and I, like you, milled them down to 3x3. I got 2 posts that were perfectly straight at the store and were nice and bowed by the time I got home, I could literally see it happening in the bed of the pickup in my rear view on the way home. I am sure glad I was able to cut them into 2 foot sections and mill them flat. Nice work on the table!
Thank you for this. You are an inspiration,
As always, awesome! I want all of your tools.

Absolutely kinda liked your video! Excellent videography, very enjoyable commentary, good lighting, etc. Keep-up the good work!
Excellent design
I liked the Idea, totally pro, clean workshop, nice family man. thumbs up, last minute of the video was superb, we r sometimes moran all of us
Very nicely designed me and your funny along the way, thank you for the learning comedy
love your video style , great work on the table
You make woodworking entertaining! Love watching your videos they're informative and funny.
Thanks, Steve
That table is totally awesome! Amazing design!
Thanks, Joseph!
Always love the entertainment value of your videos. But this project..... by far my favorite you've done.
Great design and It looks fantastic
Thanks!
That is an absolutely beautiful table . I never really realised just how brethtakingly lovely looking cedar is .The outtakes were great . Clearly your dog does not fully recognise your genius efforts.Ha ha ha .
Thanks so much!
Another great build mate, good to see you constantly trying something different.
Thanks! :)
Great project and really cool design. I love all of the dry humor.
Thanks Scott
Your editing and humour is amazing
Love the table! I love working with cedar and the table with the clear coat makes the wood pop. I bust out laughing when I saw the dog marking the table. Great video.
This is one of the funnier things I've watched!!! Your side comments are just the best!!! :D
How funny, someone else that speaks just like I do. Also, speaks to self the same way. Love it!! Beautiful herringbone pattern on the top of the table.
Man you were on your absolute comedic A game in this. Bravo sir
This is absolutely beautiful!!! Wow!!!
Thanks!
