I have faith you’ll get your channel to four eyes level. Great workmanship and videos!
I sure hope so! I'm trying so I appreciate you watching and commenting
Commenting for the algorithm. I’m confident once this channel gets discovered it’s going to take off. Great work as always.
THANK YOU! That means a lot. I appreciate you
For the last few months, I failed to see woodworking videos until the end, but your video helped me to accomplish that. Really good product and very well presented. Amazing is the word I am looking for. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Hell yeah dude. I love woodworkers who start a RUclips channel vs a RUclipsr trying to figure out woodworking.
All the best!
Thanks for the support! I'm glad to have you on the team!
So much attention to detail!! Absolutely gorgeous. Superior work as always!!
Aren't you just a nice person. Don't I know you ;)
Hello brother, this video of yours is Frist video for me on your channel and I am amazed to see that the place of woodworking is very clean. I am amazed to see your setup.
I'm glad you are enjoying our content! Thanks!
How on earth you aren't already big like Blacktail Studio and Black Forest Wood Co !???
It's quite alright. The time will come. What matters though, is that you are watching my content and enjoying it! So thanks for supporting the channel!
Love your attention to detail and explanations throughout the video. Beautiful table
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching
You guys are awesome again. No better workmanship anywhere.
That makes us feel very good thank you. We appreciate you
Great video clipping together to make look simple, what is actually, a very labor intensive and skilled, time consuming process of beautiful craftsmanship.
Great looking table guys. Love the accents. 👍🏼
We appreciate that. Sounds like you know how it is.
If you liked this video here's a playlist of other table build videos. ruclips.net/p/PLBJzK-z1p0quQ6g6O8_Ewv6vBBNftJH8l
Table top looks amazing so beautiful can’t wait to see it finished.
Thanks so much. I appreciate you watching
your music choice is so interesting compared to other videos. ensuring stoners cant leave the video till its over lol great content overall man, thorough woodworking.
Haha yeah it has evolved over time. Thanks for watching!
That was really good
Thats amazing thank you!
it already looks so clean, even without any finish
The finishing steps will be quite a process so I'll see you in the next ones!
Another table being taken to the next level. Excellent. Can’t wait for the next one
It's going to be a really nice series so I'm glad you like it. Thanks!
@@FortressFineWoodworks your story telling and narration besides the beautiful work is what also draws me in. Please don’t change this part of your videos
Thanks for sharing the process it’s awesome ! I did a bit of woodworking and man the more you progress on your build the more costy the mistakes are ! Really good job guys !
Yeah I agree. I've had to learn to control my nerves as projects get more expensive. There's always a way to fix a mistake, sometimes it just costs time. Thanks for watching!
Forgetting to reset the fence... Been there. Either you've made that mistake, or you will, eventually.
Haha "or you will" indeed
nice catch on the brass needing to be on the breadboard end!
Yeah, I knew it needed to be there from designing it, but spaced it on the day I decided to rout the groove! Thanks for watching
This series will blowup
Thanks for watching and adding positive feedback!
Absolutely amazing work and this calm voice over is so relaxing, second part please! 👌 Or am I that blind?
The second part is coming soon! Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Really looking forward to the next one!
Thanks broskee.
Beautiful work!

Spot on pal .... Keep doing what you're doing.
How awesome. Such a great work 😊😊
Thanks a million!
Your work is really amazing
Love from India ❤
Thanks for watching from India!
Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks! There's some great content going forward so stay tuned!
Jointer passes would be easier if you moved the fence out a ft or so.
You're definitely not wrong. It's nice to keep it back for doing faces though

Very much appreciated!
Спасибо друг 😊
Thank you!
You make awesome stuff
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate your support as always
More content! Thanks! I'll tell you that the 'in / out' (or 'up / down') trick is amazing. I don't even have a jointer, but the technique applies to the table saw as well, and takes panel or tabletop work to the next level... night and day. I'm now curious to see how you solve the brass not sticking problem.
Question: you are going to dowel those breadboards on, right? Sounds like a stupid question but didn't see it in your 3D model or any prep for that in this episode.
Also - shout out to Cody... he may want to put more hip/body weight behind that planer, but great job!
Heck yeah! It's always great to hear from you. I did indeed solve the brass problem and can't say how until the next video is out.
Answer: that would be hilarious if I just left the breadboards floating with no pegs. Yep, they will get pegged in a specialty way.
Cody did pretty damn good considering his first time planing was on a luxury table! I'll let him know you are thinking of him ;)
It looks like a really cool table, I'm no woodworker, could you please explain why the breadboard ?
Why not goove the table top and insert brass ?
The table won't ever be without the breadboard, and by having it aren't the ends more fragile ?
Without the breadboard ends, the table would want to warp or cup, so they force everything flat.
The main table needs to be able to expand and contract over 1/4 of an inch across its width so any brass that's attached would fall off.
The breadboard end is jointed on so well it's no more fragile than the rest of the table
Im curious to see how it turns out. Not doubting your wood working abilities, just curious to see if you use any type of channel to help support that huge table top...and to help it not warp over time!!
Good concern! No channel to keep the table flat because those meaty breadboard ends with keep the width flat, and the 2 inch thickness will keep the length flat. But the legs will be attached via C Channel. Thanks for watching!

Very cool!
Thanks for watching!
used to work with sapele planks 16ft x 12 inch x 3 inch solo. Had muscles and three wrecked disks! ..they were nearly my bodyweight
That sounds pretty darn heavy! No wonder your disks are missing.
Holy cow this looks amazing. Man how did you get to this level? Afford the tools to be able to do this level of work? I’m so impressed. Maybe one day I’ll be there too.
Thanks! Honestly, it started with side jobs. I made extra money to afford tools like festool. Then those tools made me more efficient and so on.
@@FortressFineWoodworks I hear ya man. I’m just starting to get some side work. So hopefully I’ll start making enough to afford some nicer tools. Your work is an inspiration man. Truly.
You got this!
Walnut to thicc my wife got jealous.
Yeah well tell her that her husband is a pretty dang good craftsman and he can build her anything she wants!
P.S. Can you email me? My email is Fortressfinewoodworks@gmail.com
Wait a minute, an expensive beautiful walnut table, and you didn’t use the most minimal amount of protection on it with a HWO? Is this even RUclips!!
This might be an alternate dimension because if it's RUclips.... it HAS to be a hardwax oil right? Thanks for watching
Hola, me gusta su trabajo,¿qué tipo de madera usó?
Thank you! This is black walnut
A trick I recently learned to joint together two long boards: put them close and run a track saw in the gap.
Thoughts?
I have tried that and it works pretty dang good. I wouldn't say it would pass the feeler gauge test but the joint would hold.
Bro i neeeeeed the next vid asap
I'm still editing it so hopefully soon! Make sure to put on notifications so you know when I post! Thanks for watching
@@FortressFineWoodworksyep u already earned it
Thanks a ton!
Careful, that first load of wood there looked to be almost maxing out that payload rating. lol
Oh! And it was! My truck has a stamp to not exceed 850 pounds with passengers and cargo! So we were way over
@@FortressFineWoodworks XP Should upgrade your truck! If you want foreign, go with a Tundra. Domestic, Ram or... ford if you dont mind them. Ford has the highest payload/towing, but not more enough for me to drive a truck i hate. lol
Thanks for the ideas. I will likely go with a large van or something
👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
I appreciate it!
Great Great table!! Love it!
A question though:
Is there a reason why you didn‘t use bisquit joints to glue up the complete table top?
Gluing up the whole top in one go can be challenging. The glue starts setting up, joints look worse, and it's hard to keep the top 100% flat. Thanks for watching!
No water proofing on one side?
I'm not sure I get what you mean. Finish will be applied to all sides
Curious as to why the decision was not made for the brass inlay in the top to just be a 1/4" brass plate sandwiched between the end and main top with the tenon as support? Was there to much concern for differing material expansion and contraction?
That's a great idea, and the reason is cost. 1/4 brass plate is expensive AF. And I already bought a 1/16 brass sheet to plate the legs so the material was used from that.
@@FortressFineWoodworks Material on hand makes sense. Cost of material always plays a part in decision making. No wrong or right way in this case, and i'm sure the final product ends up immaculate.
Hi 👋, Looking 👀 Great, Guys, everybody makes mistakes, all part of the learning curve, but it is how you correct them to resolve the issue, I am being honest with yourself that you have cocked up, and a mitten, you’ve made a mistake, I have around 50 years of experience in making and building, furniture, organ, casement, work, specialist doors, and windows staircases, I have mainly worked by myself, but got people in when I needed to lift something, as for your surface planner, you could make up some extending table tops for it, my surface planer ended up being nearly 6 m long, Festool aluminium track/rail, it’s approximately 3 inches in section, it has grooves and slots going through it,
I drilled and tapped the sides of my surface tables on my planner , to coincide with the slots in the side of the rails, making sure that when it was all tightened up, I could then lay a board in on top the end up being the same height as the surface table, with a little find adjustment,
Are used capped head bolts that will slide in the track , the boats were screwed into the surface table, then the rails, then slid over them, and where the bolts lined up in the track. I’ve been marked the other side of the rail, and drilled a hole through the track to coincide where the bolts needed to be tightened up, when is a very long Allen key, I then made two adjustable legs to sit under the frame so I could get the height correctly, my surface planer, is SCM F410 N , . I used a very long engineers, straight edge, and a spirit level to make sure that everything was sitting correct when setting up. Obviously this is okay if you’ve got the workspace area to be able to do it. I hope this can be some help to you., look forward to the next stage of your build, Ps , your fretboard end slots could’ve been done with a hand router , with fences, fitted on both sides of the rails that go through the base of the router, this way you can centralise the slot.
I have a, WADKIN EKA 4 Head Tenoner so i could do joints very easily,
I wish you all the success for the future , and look forward to your next project, all the continuation of this one,
I forgot to mention that I am retired Englishman , living in France, Phil from the moulin France.
Thank you Phil. I appreciate your insite. Enjoy Moulin
Did you posted the video using the Bolivian rosewood yet? I'm very interested about the finish you are gonna use on that.
Yes It's 3 videos total. Here's the playlist that has all 3 in it. ruclips.net/p/PLBJzK-z1p0quQ6g6O8_Ewv6vBBNftJH8l

Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@FortressFineWoodworks I also shared it with my socials! You deserve much more, man! All the very best!❤
Truly, thank you! Feel free to share the other parts as well! Thanks for your contribution!
@@FortressFineWoodworks Will do!♥️
For safety, tell Cody to watch out for his hoodie strings!! I h
ave seen firsthand what can happen!!
That's true. My hoodie strings fell out a while ago so I never have to worry. But Cody still does
watching you lean over the jointer with your apron and things hanging off of it is terrifying
Well good thing I don't have luscious goldilocks hair too, otherwise we would have bigger issues at the jointer! Thanks for watching!
Where'd you get your design from? I made this same table years ago...
I explained at the beginning of the video that it's the Helman and Chang, James dining table. Although the customers wanted some changes that the other designer couldn't accommodate. Thanks for watching!
Ok cool I know of their work as I used to work for them. Very nice tho...
Thats actually pretty cool history on your part. Thanks for sharing!
@@FortressFineWoodworks I appreciate your channel, skills, narration and honesty. Definitely better than foureyes. I also like how you openly shared in the second video that the customer contacted you three months later with an issue, showing how challenging fine woodworking can be -even for advanced craftsmen.. Is there a video on how you fixed it? and Concerning the particular design of Hellman Chang: did you need a permission for reproduction? Congrats again for your channel and success.
This is a two part build video or something??
Yah it's split into 3 parts so that I don't have to post an hour long video. Part 2 will be out this Friday. Thanks for watching.
I watched for a little while, but grew tired of the RUclips commercials and stopped. Looked good from the little bit I saw.
Yeah sometimes youtube blasts a bunch of ads. Sorry about that. Just know that when you keep watching, it supports the channel. Thanks!
People, I implore you… don’t f__king do two person plunge cuts onto the back of fat a- dado stack… ESPECIALLY onto the back side first , where, if (no, when) it goes flying it’s guaranteed to do maximum damage to you and everything else in its way. Seriously, this was pure idiocy on display for your viewing pleasure.
I completely agree. As I said in the video, DON'T do this. You know your stuff. Thanks for watching!
What is it a weirdo surf board ?
Dang your good. Surfs up dude!
Cody dirty
Nah he's pretty clean
@@FortressFineWoodworks sound like funny rhyme 🙃
Mr nice
Thanks for watching!
I really liked the brass, and think over time it will keep looking even better. But the finish of the top.... just a waste of beautiful walnut. You could have just used plywood, laminate and put glass on it. It no longer looks like wood, it looks like PLASTIC, Plastic. Saddest thing I have seen in a while. I guess it is personal preference, but doing that to walnut boards like that ... looked as if it was bought at JC Penny closeout. I did watch he whole video, and there is still time to save that wood, there is nothing wrong with wood, looking like wood.
I appreciate you taking your time to watch, and I do a lot of other finishes that showcase different characteristics of different woods. So take a look and see if there's other videos you like. Thanks!
how about getting an actual slider, isntead of building a poor man's sliding table?
and while you're at it pick up a spindle moulder so you don't have to risk your life doing a stupid dado blade cut you just did. BTW: Arguing that it's not so bad cause you got a saw stop is the equivalent of driving against a tree because you have air bags.
Thanks for your input. You can check out some of my other videos when I'm not so stupid 😉. Thanks for watching!
If the table was going to be stained black then why build it using Walnut ? Don't see the point in wasting such expensive wood !
I thought the same thing, and I mentioned that to the customer, but the grain actually came out beautiful. Walnut stains very well and it's such a nice black tone. So stay tuned because it's worth it!
Are you sure, or better, are you experienced with the effect of these pieces of wood at both ends of the table? Do they prevent the single pieces the table is made of from becoming „round“ in the middle of the table as well? The Single pieces are really wide, I would never dare using them as wide as you do. ( Actually everybody on RUclips dares using wider pieces that me….) If you expect the shrinking of the wood during the winter, while the air is heated indoors, the wood could also become round. But as I already Said, everybody showing how to make furniture on RUclips is using very wide pieces, especially walnut. And I have always been asking myself if only in germany, where I come from, the humidity of the air changes and the wood reacts on that.😊 This is Not meant to sound offensiv! I am just curious about your experiences. I like your clip and wish you success!
Thanks! Everything is pretty stable here in Colorado. The thick walnut will remain flat, and the breadboard ends will allow for expansion and contraction.
amazing work but why in the world would you choose walnut just to make it that colour lol. What a waste.
Watch the final video that came out today and youll see why! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to watch!
