Awesome video. I recently started taking woodworking classes at a local wood store and your videos really help me get up to speed on vocabulary, processes and much more. BTW, I was an anchor woman and you are much better on camera!

@2key2key ha! Thanks very much. Glad the videos are working for ya! Hands on classes are really the way to go when you can take them. But videos are great for reinforcing concepts and filling in the gaps.

Marc, Very well done, and quite on target, I often use some cardboard to kinda do a mock up here, something quick and easy, time also is a restriction, but your personal interpertation based on others influence, is exactly what inspires us all,its the what if I do this or that,which brings the personal touch, and thus the really personal satisfaction, Again a difficult subject well addressed

I also do woodworking by the seat-of-the-pants method. I have a sawmill and solar dry-kiln so I just look around me, see what sort of shapes of wood I have, and say "Table" ... or something like that. Once I was building a coffee table and accidently sanded through a thin strip of walnut in my red oak glue-up. Screwed that one up -- so I cut it off and made a plant stand out of it instead!

I really like your videos and I will try to watch them all.

What an awesome video! More please!!! I wanna build one too! I think I will now and might do some router based inlay - again thanks to you!

You should do a television show on this your videos are awesome !

Very good point about 'not knowing what the table is going to look like'.

let the the process of creation work itself out instead of planning everything out, computers can do that for us.

Grate advice and good piont

[arund79]

once you work for a few interior designers every thing changes use the brain

Good advice! I live in Naples, FL it just a little city with a great deal of wealth. Lucky, I am native to the sunshine state and was able obtain a general contractors lic. I am a Stair Builder. I pretty sure everone knows drafting and grid paper, enlarge image or portion at Blue print paper & trace, photo projection. thin peices of wood sever for perfect curbs to draw but Stair Design & Build requires these same principles. Layout is key! When you see it your head you got design.
