I made this end table from an old burl chunk I had and a stack of burn pile recuses I got from my local wood supplier. I fashioned the top into a 4-way bookmatch and power-carved the base with an angle grinder and a special disc by Kutzall. Let me know if you have any questions on anything!

    The only thing that would have been better is if you had shaped the table leg like the lamp base in the movie A Christmas Story. You were pretty close though. Missed it by that much! Take care, great project!

    The first half of the youtube.com/post/Ugkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGM… book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

    The "burn pile" hurt my soul. There was so much potential in there!
  • @SirEdroK
    I watch a bunch of different woodworking videos and yours is by far the easiest to watch. No cutaways, no obnoxious music, and a project that’s in my scope of ability! Subscribed
  • When I first started watching your videos I figured I would just watch 3-4 minutes and maybe skip to the end, but I have never done this. I find for some odd reason your videos and your craft completely riveting to watch. I truly can not say more to emphasize how captivating your videos are. Keep up the great work.
  • @roguered706
    My heart died a little when the tabletop kept getting smaller and smaller. But still, such a gorgeous project. Great video.
  • @l.j.nielsen7594
    I would love to see a dining table or similar larger table where the top is a 4 way book match like this. Broke my heart to see you cut off so much!
  • @robbiehardy3228
    I like the finished product a lot, but I would have been really tempted to let that table top stay as big as possible. It was some really nice material.
  • @Brady20212
    I'm drooling over the burn-bin haul you filmed. As a woodturner, that's gold...
  • @ashiz5906
    my heart ached when i saw you cutting off the beautiful burl into small table..
  • Unmatched. Like a breath of fresh air. Talented, opinionated, fearless and, selfless. What you see is what you get. Bravo!
  • @eblackshaw
    I liked it so much ... I came back a year later to watch it again. Thanks Cam for all your content.
  • @ogiejii7885
    3:30 am insomniac. I enjoy the small projects as much as the large slab dining tables. Thank you for sharing the details that result in a high quality product.

    My career was civil service with the air force. I was a radar and electronics technician. I retired in 1986. my wife passed and I took up bowl turning and i have made some band saw boxes. Enjoy your work.Your tables are great. keep on keeping on
  • You’re artistry never ceases to impress me. I love the compilation of the base. Your narrative is relaxing and soothing in addition to being educational. You have a great talent, Cam.
  • @timclifton7098
    No preference on next project. Always fun to watch what you create!
  • I love how you build all these beautiful works of art. Reminds me growing up with my Grandfather in his woodworking shop.❤
