I built custom homes, high end apartment interiors, and custom furniture for 23 years and that table is one of the most complex and creative pieces I've ever seen. Well done and Congradulations!
Beautiful piece of furniture, if only i had a workshop. Must have taken a long time to make it. The finish is extremely pleasing and hope the new owners would be pleased. Very professional. Happy Birthday and hope you create a masterpiece every year to come.
So interesting to find this gem of a project AND then the final touch is hearing the craftsman say it's his birthday on the day of making the video [and/or completing the table project] on May 18. Today is May 17, six years later, and the birthday of my late stepfather who graduated top in his class at Harvard with a degree in aeronautical engineering ~ BUT he chose to do something pleasurable with his engineering after college. He opened a "small welding shop" which accidentally became a high-demand place for making tanks for trucks to haul all sorts of good stuff we need. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this ambitious woodworker! Our society needs ambitious, intelligent people.
wow! what a great table. love that it's reclaimed. isn't nothing better in this world than reusing old wood again. you are a great craftsman in your own right. very talented and may I say... very handsome too. great work!! such a talent :-)
Happy Belated Birthday! What a masterpiece. Truly a work of art. Wonderful craftsmanship, with a delightful puzzlebox feel that will keep the owners intrigued and engrossed with the piece for as long as they own the piece. It was truly a pleasure to see!
Well done and congratulations.. To be able to build something you need to able to see it before you even begin to make it.. That is the defence between you that made this and everybody else watching this video.. Well done and thank you for sharing it with us.
not many people build furniture up to this level of quality anymore,, this is a very rare piece handmade handbuilt is no comparison to all that other stuff its more like a piece of art
That is incredible. thanks for sharing. I have some heart pine from an old church that I would gladly trade twice, three times as much wood for one of these tables.
Just beautiful - this is an inspiring re-watch for me. I work in metal - weld, grind and polish, much less finesse than wood. Your work and clear instruction are a joy to watch - well edited too! Simple and elegant.
Richard Landon Thank you so much! You can see alternative styles on our Pinterest board also: www.pinterest.com/whfurniture/expanding-round-table-idea-board/
I love seeing real craftsmen producing beautiful works that make them feel accomplished. Factories kill craftsmen. I want goods that pay the craftsmen and keep alive skills.
That's like saying 'I don't see the benefit of the Mona Lisa'. If you wanted a big round table, yes, there are easier ways of making one, but if you want a big round piece of ART to welcome your friends and family to, this'll do the trick nicely. If you can't see the pleasure in this guy's face in having built it, and recognize the desire of the client to have it, I hope you aren't wasting your time working with wood.
Nice table. I can see it was a labour of love and something to be proud of. I just came here after watching what I believe to be the ultimate expanding round table Making the Fletcher Capstan Table However, yours appears to preserve the true semse of a wooden table other that the "Lazy Susan2 style plate pivot.
Ok...You guys have been asking for it daily; so here it is...the newly redesigned expanding round table is now available online: bit.ly/exp-rnd-yt There is a huge waiting list already...as people have put deposits down, to begin building tables with estimated shipping in early to late Summer 2014. Holy Cow!
+Western Heritage Furniture To be that booked, that is awesome for you!!! Thank you so much for explaining how you created it!! My Dad was a carpenter, and could design anything,, He passed away recently I sure wish he could have seen your work, which is brilliant!!! I've never seen anything quite like your table!!
There are a ton of people in the world whose entire career it is to only make and assemble things that the vast majority of people have never heard of in their lives.
A beautiful table and great workmanship.I would have matched the design with the top of the table, in that the octagon would be a circle (laminated),and the legs would be somewhat round for as it is my eyes are a llittle disturbed to changing from circles to octagon to squares. I made a rotating table for my wife. It had ONE opening flap on the top so to get all the sectors, she stays in one position holding the top and rotates the lower body of the table. I had two thrust bearings I made.
Muito interessante este projeto de mesa. Adorei! Eu gostaria de saber qual tipo de madeira você usa, pois aqui no Brazil temos muitas espécies e qual a se adaptaria melhor. Aguardo resposta.
I showed this to my wife & she was impressed. & it takes a lot to impress her.
I have to tell you that this is the most beautiful table I have ever seen. I love the wood design.
AS I am watching this video, it is May 18, 2013, so happy birthday, and congratulation on your table, it is a true work of art!

I honestly don't know why I watched the whole video, I'm glad I did its a nice table
Awesome work dude. Its uniqueness is stellar and worth any "little" inconvenience
Pretty cool how clever some people are, still the one where you just spin it and it does all this on its own is epic :P
+Chris R True. This one is around $35,000. The other one is around $150,000.

American workmanship at its best

Thanks @bohn only's. Current production time is around 8 weeks, although our waiting list has grown to about 8-10 months.
Amazing table

Ez csodálatos !
I'm not sure if I would want a table like this (you must have enough room to use it expanded), but I really like what you've done.
