Making a pair of Nesting Tables

- A pair of nesting tables, or side tables. Made with Tasmanian Oak with a black stained frame and natural top. This project is a great entry into the world of woodworking, as it teaches you most of the basic fundamentals of the trade without being too daunting.
If you would like to build your own, I have a set of plans available on my website.

woah, how slick do these look?! They came up great, plenty of tips in this one too, going to have to rewatch now. 😊
hmmm, I've never really considered that people might watch my videos more than once. I think I must be doing this RUclips thing all wrong. The analytics agree with me 🤣😂🤣
Simple and elegant! I am partial to black and natural wood combination...love the look!
Anything with a black or actually any colour painted base with a natural top looks pretty good in most settings. Kitchen islands are a great place to play around with the colour of the base while having a clear coated slab top.
Great set of legs there mate… another fantastic project. Well done!
I wear shorts just to show off my legs 🤣
Great video Kuffy - you make the whole process seem so easy
Cheers Jase. I built these tables just for shits and giggles. It's a very good project to learn the basics about joinery, tables and finishing.
I am about to start on a nesting table set with a wood and acrylic top and dark gray trim
This video really helped with finding
the perfect gray using steel wool and vinegar
Awesome. I'm glad this video was helpful for you.
Good stuff Kuffy. I like the minimalist look.
Thanks Peter. The minimalist look is all the rage at the moment.
Awesome job Kuffy! They look beautiful!!
Cheers Mark, they came up alright I reckon
Another great looking project. Love your style
Thanks mate
Absolutely gorgeous Kuffy!
Thanks Paul, but what did you think about the nesting tables? 😂
@@kuffyswoodwork mate, my comment was about the tables 🙃 🤣
@@paulangus715 oh, my mistake, sorry about that 😂😂
Really nice and simple buld Kuffy. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks Rich, Merry Christmas
So much goodness packed into that one Kuffy as usual. Great looking set!
Thanks mate
The black stain really lifted the visual on the frame bases. I guess we'll have to nag you like we did for your vice handle. Only way to get the job done :)
Lol, you guys nagged me so much about that vice handle. I think I've used that handle about 10 times since making it, but not once since building my new workbench 😂
HA. Last week you said you weren't keen on Tassie Oak 😎. I have used Victorian ash myself LOL, with Jarrah legs. I do like your 'Aris' on the rails it definitely adds a bit of class. The tables look great. I'm very surprised You haven't got a Taper jig. A couple of hours work and a few toggle clamps. Maybe that should be your next project 😁 Thanks mate
Oh I kinda really dislike Tassie Oak, but I have about one cubic meter of the stuff so I need to use it. A tapering jig has been on my 'to do' list for a very long time. I hate jigs, so I avoid making them, and cry every time I need it :D
Excellent mate - I'm gonna have a crack at this next year. 👍🍗
Ahoy there matey. I received your message. Thank you very very much, Merry Christmas. Be sure to show me yours because I wanna see it (the nesting tables).
@@kuffyswoodwork 🙏 Yep - I'll show you mine (nested -taballs- tables)
Nice tables. I’ve just made some similar and used black India ink to stain them, and it’s perfectly black after 2 coats. Have applied hardwax oil after.
I'll have to give India ink a try one day. Thanks.
Gorgeous!! This is one i'll definitely be trying in the new year. Thanks for another great video !
Thanks Kylie, I'd love to see yours when they are done.
nice aesthetics
Thanks Paul. 👍
Tables turned out great mate, love the black legs but did you need to do the two step process would not the stain have worked as well just on its own?👌👌👌👍👍👍
I did a video on Instagram covering the finishing process that I used. In the first 30secs or so of the video, I showed an example of just the stain on its own. Have a look, it results in a different effect. instagram.com/tv/CUgux8cjBLE/
Nice looking tables, I especially like the black legs and rails with the natural timber top. So, is "arissing" a term used for removing the arris? From what I understand, an aris / arris is the sharp edge where two planes meet. In regard to the taper jig, what about making a sled to hold and support the legs on an incline and pass it through the thicknesser? (It might need several passes.) Thanks for the video. Cheers, David.
While editing this video, I was wishing that I was saying "chamfer" instead of arriss. A chamfer is a chamfer, but an arriss is what I would call knocking the sharp edges off with a bit of sandpaper.
I have used tapering jigs for the thicknesser many times in the past. They were always dedicated jigs for specific sized table legs. And you are correct, that it does take several passes to get it done, but it is nice and safe and anyone can do it (good job for the apprentices). I'll probably just make a jig for the saw. It's likely less work to make that jig to be adjustable.
Nice! You didn't say anything about it but I assume you aligned the grain direction in the top glue-up so that you could plane them without getting tear-out? From what I recall, working with Tassie Oak/Vic Ash is not too bad because I don't recall it suffering from interlocked grain too much, though it splinters like a bastard and so it's absolutely critical to get the grain direction right for planing if you don't want tear-out the size of your thumb. I live in WA these days and working with Jarrah and WA Blackbutt (and some Marri and Vic Bluegum)... well, Jarrah isn't too bad, but the others all suffer from interlocked grain to one degree or another and can be a total pain to plane. Northern hemisphere woodworkers have no idea how good they have it, most of their woods are like butter... (I may be a little bitter at a mistake I made in a glue-up that resulted in a massive tear-out later on when smoothing. Careless.)
I should add that I love the simple design of these tables, classic construction and not over-complicated. I particularly liked your straightforward approach to the haunched M&T joints, no big deal, let's just do it. Loved it!
I made a little video about exactly this on Instagram. instagram.com/p/CT32QlxD59A/ I've actually deliberately alternated the grain direction to get a better grain/colour match. This boards were fairly straight grained, so it was pretty easy going when planing against the grain. The larger top gave me a little more trouble, but nothing that brought tears to my eyes.
Hey great work just wondering if u have any other way to cut the legs the way you did with the ban saw cause I don’t have one and I really like the design
There are many ways to taper the legs. You could use a hand plane to shave away the waste. A common method is to use a taper jig on a table saw. It can also be done completely on the jointer. Just about any method which removes timber will work. Hand saw + hand plane/sanding.
@@kuffyswoodwork great thanks 🫶🏻
