Someone sent me this video of a guy making a nice dining room table for his wife. I thought those that liked using hand tools, I call you neanderthals of course, would enjoy all the hard work. Myself, I'm into power, gas/electric, the more the better. I respect hard work though, so enjoy.
Anyone that can work that fast don't need no stinking power tools. :)
Look on his wife's face? Priceless.
If he'd used Sketchup he wouldn't have had to do that much dry fitting. ;-)
She must cook heavy meals. You could park a car on that.
True, but wouldn't that qualify as a power tool?
Yeah but that camera, that make him look fast, is a power tool too. LOL
Absolutely AWESOME! Thanks for that! Reminded me of when I made my workbench, nearly 20 years ago. Still there, still working perfectly, still a ton heavy! :)
she really had no choice but to exclaim she liked it
she was put on the spot
it is a nice table but too heavy
will be hard to move to vacuum and since they look like a traditional couple she probably plays the housewife role and vacuums
a better design would have been to create the top in 4 pieces connected with a simple mechanism underneath like a cam style connector or the like
something that can be done with one hand
i have doubts that many here use only hand tools
most of us use a combination of them
sometimes a block plane is just the right tool and other times it is not and you might reach for the sander
Oh, good grief. I showed it to my wife and she loved it, though it's not her style.
Dining room tables *are* heavy. It's not accidental.
You're not going to just shove ours into the corner to vacuum under it, either. That's just not rational.
Oh, good grief!
K's reply, to you, was too kind. Your criticism of Chris' work, and with respect to his wife, is totally unfounded and rude. Chris stated, clearly , what the plan was, which in part, BTW, was to USE NO METAL FASTENERS!!! You not only do not pay attention, you're an idiot.

Yeah. What you said times 10.
Regardless of the original goal, and the fact that he is an idiot, most wiv es or significant others would be thrilled at the amount of effort that wen t into that project. He could just have easily pissed his time away watchi ng sports, drinking beer, fishing, goofing of with his buddies, etc.
Since he obviously doensn't know what it takes to build a project of that n ature, it leads me to believe that he might think the video was in real tim e. Then, in his world, no big deal.
