The Biggest Thing I've Built

About this video:
In this video, I build the BIGGEST thing I’ve ever made — a massive, circular walnut pedestal dining table custom-built for my sister’s new home. If you’re into woodworking, custom furniture, or just love watching people build stuff, this video is for you.

This build features lots of beautiful walnut, a sculptural tulip-style pedestal base, and a 72-inch round tabletop — all handcrafted in my small garage woodworking shop. From milling rough lumber to final assembly and finish, I take you step-by-step through the process of making high-end custom furniture. I also try to use Domino Connectors to hold the two halves of the base together for shaping and sanding. I wonder how that's going to turn out?

Whether you’re a professional woodworker, a DIY enthusiast, or someone who enjoys satisfying furniture builds, you’ll appreciate the techniques, tools, and attention to detail that go into creating a large dining table like this.
