Wow John, just WOW!

I’m glad I looked at the blog, to see how much hard work you put into this project, before commenting, because it just showed how much hard work goes into something like this.

Great looking table. I wish I could get that done in six days.

Keep up the good work

-- -- Rob Hix, King George, VA

That looks awesome, and only 6 days! Time sure flies when you are having fun.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

This is one of those “wow” projects that just makes me scratch my head and wonder how anybody can do something so beautifully!

John and Jack….......this is a wonderful project. The idea of 2 woodworkers coming together to work the manufacturing process is great stuff. Morning coffee, production meeting, job assignments, who’s better at what task, what has to be done by days end to keep production flowing, machine set-ups. Yeah we can talk about a Hepplewhite and his design elements, but then we loose the true value of this project. 2 friends and thoughtful woodworkers figuring out how to push a quality product through a shop in 6 days. That’s the kind of fine furniture manufactruing we never get a chance to discuss.

US woodworking seems to always get lost in handy fads….......thanks for reminding us that a machine set-up can produce numerous high quality parts and that by mixing materials (machined and commercially prepared) a high-end, limited edition line of furniture is still possible to design.

This project goes well beyond….......”Wow that’s a nice piece of furniture”

Love this stuff…............Neil

Great looking table. I love all the veneer and inlay work that went into this table. I think it would be so fun to do a project with another fellow woodworking and a great way to learn. You both did a great job and Iam sure you had a lot of fun doing it.

Nice, like the inlays!

It would take me 6 days to do just the inlays.

-- Urban logger, http://nelsonwoodworks.biz/

holy smokes that’s amazing.

6 days, I would think about for more than that before I started thinking about the wood selection than it would really take some of my time. Lucky I’m retired.

WOW John, I’m in Awe. Excellent Presentation and documentation. Exquisite Detail!! Truly a piece That I’m sure you enjoyed building as much as we all enjoy it in picture form. If only I could be able to someday to touch and feel something of such beautiful finish and proportion.
Congratulations on a FINE Woodworking Project!!
Have a Good One,

Just finished looking at the blog….Wow!! Hats off to you both for an incredible job on this table. Somehow “beautiful” just isn’t enough for this one.

Thanks for posting it.

Six days! It would take me six months. This is great. I always love card tables.
