  1. I think the table is beautiful! Both of you guys did a fantastic job! Keep up the great videos.

  2. Love your channel and have learned a lot from you. You do awesome work, but not really a fan of this table with the oak on the ends..

  3. Very creative way to get the larger top from those crotches! I have a couple of cherry crotches that I wouldn't mind using for our porch dining setup that could potentially benefit from the same method.

  4. A long grueling 40 mile trip to faraway Fredericksburg!! 🤣😂😋 LOVE Live Oaks. My first memories of living in San Antonio and Austin — The Live Oaks. Great looking table.

  5. Great table, Andy. The way you straightened the slabs with the wedge cut was really ingenious. Did you veneer the edges of the supports or just leave the white oak exposed?

  6. Amazing, awesome job! The live oak is absolutely stunning- and your skill and workmanship unparalleled- the way you cut and matched the parts together is incredible! Not a big fan of the leafs, but they are utilitarian I guess. But the table, both top and supports- the entire job, is unique and unsurpassed.

  7. I know it’s hindsight now but would it have been a good idea to extend the 2 channel irons that you spanned the legs with, to support the top, extend them out past the bread board ends to give them support? Enjoy your builds.

  8. Awesome looking table guys. I live in the mountains of NC right now but lived in Wimberley TX for 15 years prior. I love how live oak looks. Spectacular grain swirl and hard as a rock. I’ve made some smaller projects out of it and it can really humble you. Especially using hand tools!

  9. I remember watching the series where you rebuilt that bandsaw. It has been a godsend for you, it is like a battle tank of bandsaws. Great foresight on your behalf. I admire how you always try to achieve what your customers ask for. This to me is what sets you apart from the rest. I must say the chemistry between you and Robert is growing so well. It says a lot for you both. My bucket list is to come spend time on a project working with you both. I think it would be amazing fun and such a great learning curve for me. Slingshots and little boys are a right of passage. The body of the table is amazing. The extension give it another dimension. Great job.

  10. . Wow what is it!
    What does it do!
    LoL Naaaaaaaa it's great' 👍 LOL
    😆 ya goofy m8te from Australia

  11. Take a video about this , The world is now ruled by one community of people, the world Satanic elite, you can also call them the committee to meet the Antichrist and prevent the 2nd coming of Jesus, Trump called them the deep state, at the moment it consists of about 10,000 people, the main ones there are Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsors, Baruchs, they, their ancestors, descendants and other people who enter there have the mark of Lucifer, which, if they bring the antichrist and do not allow the 2nd coming, they will receive eternal life after the x hour, and the rest of humanity, for all the time that they have lived, they won't get anything, They won't stop themselves

  12. The leafs looks amazing! I really enjoy how you are doing the breadboard ends especially in this video. I have been using your technique since then. Its probably not a new technique but i did see it on your channel. Do you know what season the table will be on The Chosen?

  13. The only way this video could have been better is if you ended with the song "Live Oak" by Jason Isbell over some B roll of the table. Incredible stuff as always.

  14. Your dog is sleeping on the live oak because it's not as cold as the f**** floor I'm 99.9% sure that's why animals are pretty smart that way

  15. Andy Rawls Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, hello from Ukraine, a million subscribers on YouTube to you

  16. Fantastic build Andy. Love how you jump in and think things through and take some risk. Thanks for another great video.

  17. Beautiful, not sure why your client wanted extensions. Amazing craftsmanship! Thanks for showing how to take on a project like this.

  18. what a great table and very well explained content i enjoy watching your channel and seeing your great work

  19. Hi from Australia
    Just discovered your channel and have subscribed.
    Love your work and will be going back over your previous videos.
    This table is outstanding and I appreciate your craftmanship.
    I only make smaller tables but like this design and might scale it down if you don't mind.
    Regards
    One Handed Maker
