Oooo love that new intro!
-
that moment at 18:30 when you just realised you'd overlooked an easy solution to a problem you had and you stand in disbelief over how you could miss that. Classic! love it
-
Perfect for anyone living in a Tiny House! And very, very beautiful!
-
I just love how 0:40 is literally a “ba dum tis”… pure unintentional comedy gold.
-
This build video is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I appreciate your humility and willingness to show your mistakes. New sub.
-
I don't think I've ever regretted living in an apartment and not having space for a workshop and tools more than right now. I LOVE that table so much.
-
that dowel-making technique was honestly amazing, holy cow
-
Nice build. Awesome as always.
-
Man, this build was really inspiring all the way from prototyping to the final creation. Absolutely beautiful!
-
I'm honestly unable to describe how much I like and want this kind of table in my living room. You did an amazing job and weren't it for my complete inability to do any type of wood working and my complete lack of tools in a two bedroom apartment... I'd make this immediately!
-
The way you made that dowel earned you a subscription from me.
-
Multi-use space saving projects are the future... Great job.
-
My parents had a clever table from like the 60's that did this... you actually rotated the top surface 90 degrees, then you could pull it apart and put an extra piece in the middle. It could also be lifted up to be a higher table with a clever mechanism.... I should take some pictures (I still have it, but don't use it)
-
Not even a carpenter and I found this fascinating! Almost shocking that you would offer such an incredible design plan out for everyone (extremely generous!) because I’m sure just the design itself could have huge value.
-
Michael Alm = Man of Legend Awesome design.
-
Thank you! It's amazing and beautiful!!
-
Oh man this is an incredible piece... I would love to have one of these in my living room! A much more elegant solution than folding tables.
-
Amazing work. Looks beautiful. I’d love to see a murphy-desk. Maybe something that looks like a wall-mounted mirror when closed but opens to a drafting table. Cork-board on the inside for working sketches, pencils and marker storage etc. Having a drafting table in a small space is challenging.
-
0:50 secs in and I already liked it. Great work!
-
That dowel jig solution at 33:25 was sooooo satisfying to watch... omg
