In this video I am building a huge conference table that will live in the tasting room of a new winery. Most of the lumber for this build was grown and harvested on the owner’s property, which made for a challenging and fun build. In order to stretch the lumber I received across a 16’ x 5’ table, I used shop-made veneer. Additionally, this build utilized plenty of other interesting techniques including template routing, segmented curves, domino joinery, and a lot of veneering good times.

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. youtube.com/post/UgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9… as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
  • @davedoesmassage
    As a hobbyist woodworker, your projects are so huge and daunting, but your videos are so well done and I love the humor you add as well.
  • I've been here for a couple years now and I'm starting to think that this isn't accually a DIY channel...
  • @Hewdino
    Came for the woodworking....stayed for incredibly dry yet hilarious comedy!!! you guys are great!
  • @deepsgnips
    You two are awesome I kinda miss the two channels, but your styles and crafts have a strong synergy going on
  • I love the yellow VW Caddy Rabbit in the background at 2:08 . After I first saw one it's always been a dream car of mine.
  • @peskarr
    I like this, because I clearly understand almost all that he speaking. I native russian speaker and listening in english is hard for me. But not here for some mysterious reason.
  • @aperki01
    Thank you for the video. Learned you can take multiple cuts using a flush trim bit instead of taking a full thickness cut all at once. I bought and used a two inch long flush trim bit for my previous project. It was scary. Will use your guy's technique next time. Thank you

    6:03 That’s a looot of work...tumbs up guys👍🏻. I just thought of a little very helpful advice we learned at vocational school ( just in case you didn‘t know): For a harmonic „veneer-image“ (Furnierbild as we call it in Germany) put the veneer with its bright sapwood(edge) only nexto sapwood, and heartwood nexto heartwood...the crossings appear more natural through this arrangements. This means: [sapwood, heartwood] [heartwood, sapwood] [sapwood, heartwood] etc... I really appreciate your work and all your effort. In my opinion one of the best woodworking channels. Ps: it looks soo relaxing...but when you’re in the workshop things go complicated or stressful😅...especially when you glue something and everything has to be accurate Greetings form Germ

    That was expert usage of a Mr. Rogers clip. I LOLed IRL.
  • @spooncwa19
    Really impressed by this build - absolutely bananas in terms of scope / size.
  • very impressive and nice table. You should be careful with only putting veneer on the top though, this can lead to warping
  • Brilliant video from start to finish and is packed with lots of pro tips and techniques. You are even teaching a bit of geometry which is really helpful in woodwork. I'm looking forward to you building a mitre station if you are going to do one?
  • @Oxyflight650
    If those red Vans can tell a story...Nice work guys
  • @nickbedard1623
    Well. Its been a while since I found a channel to binge on. Awesome work guys!
  • @joshuatatro4503
    15:40 I appreciate the Burgundy method for sticking to the script. Also, great build/video.
  • @sambrooke9561
    This piece is pretty impressive. Broad range of techniques used as well. Well done!
  • @andreakerry3411
    You guys are hilarious. Oh, and pretty fantastic carpenters
