    Great book for a beginner . ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

    I'll tell you what, there are not many things better than sitting down with a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning and watching Jimmy Diresta build something.

    This table brings back so many memories of my grandparents' "big table" as they called it. They had ten children, so you can imagine how many of us grands there were. We had a long bench on one side. Great memories. Your family and friends will enjoy this!!

      @shedlife1783 Год назад

      I thought this. Looked at a job recently and they’d fit a massive oak bar top and only finished one side. It subsequently cupped upwards. I dread to think what I cost.

    I am becoming a BIG fan, of those Robertson drive screws!
    Was assembling something,had the screw in all the way, and
    the tip of the bit, in the screw, and it held up the driver and
    everything, going horizontally into some boards. (18 volt
    full size driver. Screw and bit held the whole thing up.)

    Man!!! I wish I could do just one build with Jimmy. The stuff I could learn in a short time. Those clips under the table were stellar. I built our dining room table right when I started doing some woodworking and made almost every mistake possible. It’s still standing though 😂👍🇺🇸

  • @Jacob_Dwyer
    @Jacob_Dwyer Год назад +1

    Another great video, thank you. Say, it seems like you have guests coming over, a couple of commenters noted the underside not finished and you one-coated the trestle. The design allows for you to easily return to finishing, which could easily take another week. It looks great, and functional, per usual.
