As a welder/fabricator I once made a bad mistake that wasted two days of labor and a bunch of metal specially ordered for something to do with the shop, meaning it was not being made to sell. I felt bad about it and my boss said something like "If you never make a mistake you are not making anything worthwhile." This happened on a Friday and I had a date that night. I took her to PF Chang's and enjoyed the company and the food. My fortune cookie that I got with the check was word for word exactly what my boss had said only a few hours before. When I showed my fortune to my boss, he smiled and said, "Yea, I like PF Chang's too."

In theater, there's the saying that "the show must go on". What I didn't realize when I was a child was that people would just assume anything they see is part of the show. We had a series of individual acts in high school, where playing the music required me to switch cables on the sound board, and somehow that didn't make it to my cue sheet. The act started out dead silent with the guy pretending to listen to loud rock music and a parent banging on a fake door. They yell at each other, and at that moment I got the cables plugged in and the music suddenly started blasting. I apologized to the my friends who were acting after the show, and they thanked me because it worked even better like that than in rehearsal, as they could do their lines without the noisy rock music and it seemed like the person inside had unplugged their headphones/started using the stereo. Sometimes, you get happy accidents that work out better than intended. Here, I think the "large bowtie" look is both aesthetically pleasing and functional at helping support the smaller piece of slab.

This table it nice isn't it? We love living here, and hope you love this table too." (If that makes sense) basically, they compliment the look and don't steal the spotlight. I think you took that accident and used it to make a beautiful piece. 👍 Thanks Delores.

There's nothing wrong with upcut bits. I don't know the root cause of the mistake he made here but it's not the upcut bit. If you use a downcut bit in a groove then it'll try to force and compact the chips down into the cut. It results in a lot of chip recutting which can mean a shaky/chattery cut or if your machining strategy is bad, a fire.

@@whatevil You are right, the bit selection isn't the issue. I commented elsewhere and he deleted it, but the problem is that he didn't tighten the bit correctly and/or he is using old or cheap collets. Almost all prosumer cnc operators just hand tighten things with the small wrenches the manufacturer includes, when they need to be using a torque wrench, hitting anywhere from 60-90 ftlbs depending on the type of spindle and specifications of the collet/collet nut. A deep slotting operation + insufficent torque=pullout, everytime. A downcutter improperly tightened will simply recut a bunch of chips and still pull itself lose/chatter/overcut, just not as drastically.

I build simple furniture of scraps and wood I cut myself in the forest. I use e.g. many branches with irregular forms as legs. I even found a system for table legs where I go find four forked branches and use the fork in the branch as natural struts for the legs. This saves me making struts, it is also stronger as the joint is untouched. I start from only crooked wood with barely any truly straight lines. So I'm constantly trying to figure out creative ways of making it work with the limited tools and materials I have. I enjoy this very much, I think because it is how life is. Just constantly adapting to the things life gives you. My last project was to large benches. I found a tree nearby had been felled by lightning. I took my tiny chainsaw into the forest. I cut two 2.5M slabs from the trunk with three parallel cuts by hand. I carried them by hand and then by wheelbarrow to our yard. Then I let them dry for months, and kept looking at the beautiful boards thinking what to do with them. In the end I decided to just leave them as they were. I drilled four holes in it. I went in the forest to look for 4 leg-branches. I cut the top of the branches to fit the holes, put them in with some glue. And then the benches were finished. I love them. And almost all visitors do as well. There is a beauty in this type of craft, this struggle with nature that seems to touch everyone.

Exactly. When an artistic craftsman becomes known for something, they tend to put things in the world that while unique are also part of a series of similar designs or aesthetic. This may be of a style that fits a whole, but also has something truly unique about it, and a story to tell. He said it correctly at the end that we all have scars, but it's not always true that the tales we get to tell of how we earned those scars is something we can share. This table is both beautiful and has a unique story that will be unlike anything else made by Chris. It may have not been exactly what was planned, but if I were the client and had some time to think about it, I think I might have negotiated a slightly lower cost due to the mistake, but still happy to buy it for the story and unique nature.

Chris, I've been a custom woodworker for more years than you've been alive. One thing that I've learned is that mistakes will happen. Usually they happen to a greater degree the more you stress about the project, and if you aren't making mistakes, then you aren't doing anything worthwhile. It truly does suck that the client lost faith and decided to back out of the project on you, but I've learned that the honesty that comes from owning up to the mistakes is worth way more than any amount of money I've lost from the mistakes themselves. "Hangie" could have definitely handled the situation differently, but they chose not to, and that is their right to do so. Your commitment to finish the project and develop deeper character to move forward will make you a better maker in the long run, but also in the short term. There are many who will look at this video and move on, but there are also those who will look at it and choose you for their next project because of that honesty. Those are the ones you want to work for. Not because of the mistakes, but because of their faith in you. I am unsure of what direction I would have taken with the table personally, but it isn't my place to say whether you did a good job or not, anyway. I support you in the choices you made in the moment, and actually believe that the table turned out quite beautiful despite the setbacks. Keep on doing what you're doing, learn from, then move on, from the errors of being human. Push yourself out of your comfort zone in some way on every project and as often as you can. It will keep you on your toes, and force you to grow both as a maker, and as a human being. You're doing fine... and I certainly hope you said, "Thanks, Delores" for all the support and assistance that woman has given you.

Wood will move and brass will not. I have 1cm big crack in table as this is how much wood did move and brass didn't. Even here with wood inlay it could be problem if it is not the same direction as wood moves more in one and less in other.

Last year I got 2 identical hand tattoos done in London. I had been following this artist for years and was stoked to actually get him booked in, as he's mainly based in Montreal and I'm in the UK. After the tattoo was done and it had finished, healing I noticed a small, yet clear asymmetrical "mistake". But the more I look at it, the more it becomes a part of the tattoo and a part of me. It's become something of a life lesson. Tables that don't go wrong are great, but in some ways they're boring. They might end up blending into the room over a much shorter amount time. There's nothing to bring your mind back to them. Maybe it's just the way I am, but I prefer the stuff that goes wrong in harmless ways. I think that's a beautiful thing.

We all make mistakes, but you found not one but many solutions to make the end piece work and beautiful. It seems the people who commissioned the table had an idea that could not be altered. I know someone out there will love to buy this table from you. I think the days of huge perfect slabs is behind us. From marble in kitchens to huge dining and meeting room tables. Yeah they were pretty, but what else can we morph it into for the changing future. Reworking smaller things to fit our world is a nice option. You handled this very well in my opinion. It’s not your A game, but still quite stunning. I wondered if there was enough of the second bit of table to remake that section before you made the popsicle stick solution.

For much more than just your wifely prowess but for your understanding of the demanding nature of your husband's work and for sharing him and his talent with the rest of us. God bless you both.

Hey, did you also think about cutting the mistake off and glue it back together then reduce the diameter. Please let me know. I have been an electrician for more years than you've been here ang I have always honest when I made a mistake. I didn't make a lot of them, but when I did they were big. I have a good reputation and faithful clients. Honesty is always the best policy, so keep your head held high. Enjoy your vids and your wife is very supportive and very proud of her husband.

Personnaly, I found the "fixed" table even more beautiful. Because that's very well done, fit the style, and as you said, scars are part of life. This table kow has a story, that you can tell to your guests when they a telling you that the table is nice. I don't have so much money to put on a hand crafted table... At my scale, let's say I had put as much as I could for it... I would have kept it without any hesitation after seeing it finished. Again I love the pace, the calm tone of your videos. Keep on please 😊. Mixing woodworking, learning, and relaxing 😎

Another inspiring video! The table turned out great! It’s got a story. I love the CNC but it’s helped me remake more projects than I care to think about. When it goes wild on its own or because of operator error it’s often disastrous. Since I’m still learning I run a piece of scrap before I trust my setup to cut an expensive piece of material. Mistakes happen that’s why woodworkers are so creative.

Dude! I'm a motion designer from Brazil and I've been genuinely, and on a daily basis, inspired by your videos for a couple of weeks now. You reflecting out loud about every part of the woodworking process had me thinking on my own work, and on what I'm doing to get to where I wanna be, art and career-wise. Don't know what I'll do when I have watched all the videos though. Maybe watch again. Thanks Dolores!

What you shared in this video makes me feel much better about mistakes I make in woodworking. I recently finished a scratch electric guitar build that has several patch jobs from router mistakes and often get discouraged when I look through guitar builder forums and see experienced builders committing projects to the burn pile for much smaller mistakes than mine. As I am brand new to this, never sold a guitar before, and next to zero disposable income (it took me a year to slowly gather materials and build this thing) I can’t imagine taking all that work and throwing it away. The fact that you embraced the “scars” and even implied this piece is still sellable gives me hope that I may find someone out there willing to embrace the ones on my piece and help fund the next build.

I think he did not shared how he would fix the table for his clients, and that makes a huge difference when a contractor reaches you as a client and tells you that he messed everything up, but don't tell you how he will fix it (also, if you noticed in the video, the solution he came up only happened after lots of reasoning and also after almost ruining the table 2 times again). As I client, I can tell you that it would be nerve cracking for me to know that, it is just too much money, and also could be a breach of contract, since that is not a contracted feature his client wanted. In such cases it is just better to refund, and sell the table for someone that will find that "feature" amusing.

DUDE! This is a banger of a video. First of all, THANKS DOLORES! Second of all, this is the first video from you that I've watched all the way through, no skipping around. Third, I'm saving this video for when I make a huge mistake to remind myself to keep going and hell, make a couple more mistakes because everything is better with friends! Fourth, this table is really cool. If you think about the tree's perspective, it could be thinking "Dude, my wood is so twisted and gnarly and ugly, I really am a complete failure of a tree." But we see those imperfections and we see beauty because it's the TRUTH. The imperfections from the tree, mixed with the imperfections from your "mistake" makes it TRULY YOUR TABLE. Instead of just framing up and polishing what the tree produced, you ADDED YOUR OWN IMPERFECTIONS.YOUR LIFE. DUDE... YOUR SOUL. That table is fucking sick dude. Awesome table. Awesome video.

Thanks Dolores! And thank YOU for showing the tough moments in woodworking. Its unspeakably tough to put so much attention, detail and passion into a piece only to make a huge mistake at the end. That feeling in your gut when you realize that there is no way back from this is difficult for anyone who hasn't experienced it to imagine. I have experienced it many times and the feeling of vulnerability that comes from those moments is unlike anything else. You have your customer's expectations, your own expectations, your time and monetary investment, reputation....all of it comes rushing into perspective once the mistake is made. I love that woodworking constantly finds a way to humble me and I have to keep finding new resolve after these types of experiences. Guess I love the punishment! I appreciate you sharing these experiences. This world makes it easy to believe that you're the only one that screws up and everyone else is perfect. Keep up your amazing work and your unwavering honesty!

for the mold release, use dry lube. specifically something like pb blaster advanced dry lube (not the graphite, but the light blue bottle). it sprays on and dries up within a few seconds, and leaves a white residue that nothing will stick to, and is non-staining etc. i've used it as a type of mold release for many things, and have never had anything not come right off. Love your videos, and your furniture! I think the popsicle sticks were a great solution.

The thing is, they have seen his work and know he’s an artist. If they wanted something guaranteed, they should go to IKEA. When they come to him, they’re looking for a piece of art and the outcome isn’t guaranteed. If a “mistake” happens, they have to trust that he will make something beautiful out of it just like this. I’ll bet these people are kicking themselves for rejecting the table. If they come back wanting it after all, he should double the price.

Thanks Delores! Also, as an artist, painting etc., mistakes help you grow. Most are fixable, and some develop into masterpieces. It’s not about the mistake. It’s about the creation that comes from it. I think the table is beautiful and different in its own right. Had you not shown us this video, I would have thought you tried something different, or that a client wanted a mid-century modern esthetic. Something new and special. Mistakes help to expand your thinking into uncharted territory. It helps us to think out of the box. ❤
