Friends:

Here we are, 20 videos later and the Shaker Table is done! This was a very educational project and it gave me a reminder of what it's like to build something in tiny little increments.

In this last part, we trim the top and get it fitted. There's still plenty to learn.

Because of the holiday, there will be no regular video this weekend, but we'll be back next week with the next exciting tool from Compass Rose! We'll see you then!

Have a Happy Holiday Rex. Bloody hot here yesterday and today very high 30s Celsius nearly a 100 Fahrenheit. Electrical grid is struggling. Wife told me they had to close 2 operating theatres doing orthopaedic surgery today as air-conditioning wasn't working well and the cement they use was drying out too fast to use. Sucks because these operations are scheduled months in advance. Take care.

I really enjoyed the build along series, and I'm still building a long! Would love to see another one.

George Griffiths

Enjoyed the whole build I have some Beech and Sapele I am going to use for this

8 or 9 months isn't bad...I started my first guitar build following luthier Chris Alvarado on his "3000 Year Old Guitar" project, and it took him 3 years to finish. I was in too deep to wait and had to blow past him; your table looks great and was WAY quicker!

Fred Wolsey

That was a great project. I would love to see another like this. Happy Thanksgiving Rex. North of the border we're expecting snow for the next three days. I have a design question. I will be making this in the New Year (I have some Ambrosia Maple and some Cherry, not sure which I will use). When you built the smaller round table in the Spring, it had stretchers near the bottom. This one doesn't. Is there a reason for this?

Jud Greer

Enjoyed the series. I hope you can do another one next year.

Richard C von Brecht

It was real great to see you pull out your No 4 Stanley Sweetheart smoother. I bought one just like it just because you enjoyed yours so much. I’ve enjoyed mine a lot. I’ve added a couple of Jack Plane since but the No 4 is still my favorite.

Matt Evans-Koch

That table finished up really nice, Rex. Thank you for this build series and have a great weekend with the family.

Robert

Great table build project, hoping to get to build this one yet myself. Looking forward to what you might build next year.

Bradley Barth

Nice to see this in such detail start to finish.

Gerald Eddy

Despite Patreon trying to help me I am (despite paying for it) excluded from this content😞

Kenneth Carlile

Is that a 3d printed knob and tote on the #5? Did you do a video about those?

Kenneth Carlile

Also, this series was _awesome_. I'd love to see another one!

Fanichio

Use both! I made this table myself, used ambrosia maple for the top, regular maple for the legs, and sapele for the aprons, the contrast looked great. I think Rex used maple and cherry in his original build.

Fanichio

"You may find your undercarriage isn't perfectly square, mine isn't" THANK YOU for calling that out, and repeatedly through this series showing mistakes, and how you dealt with them. Getting into this hobby can be intimidating when all one sees is perfection. This has been a great series, and prompted me to make one for myself, although I added a drawer to mine. Hope you're having a great thanksgiving weekend with your loved ones.

When you bevelled the end grain part of top you went against the grain, not with. Could you elaborate on why that is better?

Rex Krueger

When you're doing end grain, there is no "with the grain" and no "against". It's just ends so there's no grain direction.

Rex Krueger

I have no idea what's going on here. I haven't changed anything. I promise. I think you need to email customer support and I'll help any way I can.

Rex Krueger

On that little table, the top was just screwed to the uprights. No apron. So it had very little strength without bottom stretchers. This table has aprons and is light-duty so no need for more stretchers.

Gerald Eddy

Neither do I, but it appears to me to be a problem with Youtube. Patreon is working with me but a solution has not been found as yet.

Gerald Eddy

Thats the same message I am getting. Have taken all the steps Patreon has given me and can no longer watch the videos. Really aggravating!

Chris St. Cyr

Love this whole series. Looking forward to building two out there after the house project is complete.

Steve

love the full build series, gives so much detail and great appreciation of what it takes start to finish!
