This Frank Lloyd Wright inspired sofa table was made entirely from scrap wood I had laying around. However, one of those scraps was over eight feet long. So understandably, not everyone will have scraps like that. Either way, this was a fairly easy project that would only cost around $2-300 to make yourself. I hope you like it, let me know what you think!

    Riggs looks like he'd be a great troll-hunting dog! I like the way the base came out on this table, perfect stability is over-rated. Furniture falling on kids builds character. When I was 5 we had a four drawer chest stacked on another four drawer chest. The pulls were perfect little climbing holds, so I thought. I ended up on the ground with one chest on top of me. The 80's were great, man.
  • We kept finding we needed a folding table. This is so easy to store. youtube.com/post/UgkxStL0QRChBju4aQlnTrRgBZvafFog0… Opening and closing is easy as well. It has a great handle for carrying around the house. Its pretty lightweight and slides around easy. We bought it for our daughter’s first sleepover. Breakfast was a blur - but 12 7-8 year olds fit at the table with room to spare. We used it at thanksgiving and 6 adults fit comfortably on each side plus 2 on either end for a total of 8. Super easy to clean up afterwards as well.
  • Riggs is the perfect mascot for Blacktail Studio. Love seeing him anytime / anywhere. Loved the table and loved the base. Kudos to your wife's design input!

    Riggs, you make whatever you wanna make I just enjoy and learn from watching your videos. My father was a cabinet maker and a furniture maker and I enjoy a lot of the new stuff that you bring as he was old-school Carpenter. He died in 2002 so I just enjoy watching your show thank you, Ken.
  • @brians9072
    I think it would be interesting to see you do a project with only the simplest tools a weekender/beginner might have.

    Riggs. wife : "can you move that table an inch to the right?" , "best i can do is move the couch an inch to the left"
  • @russbowers3683
    Riggs - I'm watching this 3+ years later, but I love the color paired with the leather couch!
  • @timclifton7098
    Riggs,.........Kudos to your wife for a great design for the legs. Beautiful work, & love the grain on the legs as well as the top. No suggestions for future projects, at this time, so I will keep enjoying whatever is in the future! Again, as always great work!
  • @samzhang001
    Riggs, some low end projects once in a while would be great.
  • @JasonWindsor88
    Riggs, after reading the troll comment, I wanted to say that I simply don’t understand his gripe; as someone who (very amateurishly) dabbles in woodworking, part of my enjoyment of your videos is hearing you narrate your process of building as well as your talking through your thought process when making these pieces. Love the content, man
  • @tomburns7544
    Riggs. I absolutely love the simple legs you made for this table. Just straight pieces with a small, lovely roundover on the edges. The simple shapes really allowed for one to focus on the stunning grain. Fantastic work, Cam.
  • @baynesims71
    Riggs. My thinking on things to make is a mixture from everyday furniture but add a big table or desk once and awhile. I love the commentary you do. I'm 71 and learn something every video. Great job!!
  • Riggs, I myself would like to see projects that I call “Realistic “ meaning affordable and functional for the hobbyist woodworker who does projects for friends and family and not as a living source of income. I understand your livelihood is making and selling so I do not want or expect you to switch gears but maybe toss in projects every once in a while geared towards us. Thank you for what you do and create. I hope your shop helpers leg heals up real soon. Thanks, Mike
  • @l.wolfm.7006
    This wood working artist really Riggs up a beautiful table for his home. Love it! I never expected that grain to pop like that.
  • Riggs, I'm not a woodworker type although I did take a woodshop class back in '59. I enjoy the time you take to explain what and why you're doing to keep others from these mistakes. You have a subscriber for life. Keep doing what you do, I truly enjoy this app! Thanks, Rob.
  • @djbanger
    thanks for the glue squeeze out tip with the tape, perfect timing for me!
  • RIGGS!! Love this design! I am a HUGE fan of Wright’s work so I like how he inspires your designs. On your edge profile, I do that a lot and I find using a nice sharp chisel to complete an edge up to corners does a great job rather than a rasp
  • @user-pu5vd1hw4v
    Riggs, I just love seeing your deep finishes on your work.
