  • just for the record this is crappy craftsmanship. a true woodworker never uses pin nails to hold the table top to the frame. also he sure as hell will never use a bucket to secure an on-going gluing process because he has heard by now of clamps

  • Nails in a fine furniture?

  • @TheReconSquad it doesn't have to be giant. it was a small project you could just clamp the edges round or how bout those things called joints. or use biscuits. and out of curiosity show me a table, any table, made by marc(i watched most of his videos) where he uses a) just glue b) pin nails c) those two combined to secure a table surface.

    i study architecture and for 2 semesters studied furniture. needless to say the technique showed above did not appeared.

  • Safety glasses???

  • Why not just screw it with a couple of screws from the underside?

  • damn john you missed a spot..add more glue!

  • This top will split and crack with the weather change. What a nitwit.

  • expert what???

  • Pause at 0:22 and you will see that the end grain of the top panel has been wrecked in the cutting. That isn't an acceptable standard of work, especially in a demonstration video. Also the glueing needs to be done better. The glue must be spread properly and pressure applied over the whole top surface, not just in the middle.
