I really like this chair...

I’ve seen a couple of these before. Some beautiful pieces there.

I want the table and chairs. Costco carry those?

Nice. Craftsmanship is hard to come by today.

I just finished this one recently.

It’s a 7’ table but it’s also an 8’6” table and a 10’ Table if you need.

Nice one, Matt! Those mechanisms are smooth as glass!

You built it?

You built it?

From a stack of rough hewn local walnut.

You are amazing! That is a genuine masterpiece!

That was the first thing I noticed. My DR table was custom built and it takes two to add a leaf. WELL DONE, Matt. WELL DONE!!

My parents bought a dinning table back in the 90's. It was a nice table but, yea, the leafs stored in a pocket underneath the top and weighed about as much as a 2dr C-Body door .. with glass.

That is one fine solution to that issue. And gorgeous!

Thanks gents! It’s the first piece I’ve done that actually requires a video and it turned out great. Here it is at its new home.

That's definitely not an Ikea table.

Wow, that is an amazing piece of work! I especially like the butterfly extensions, we have two big leaf tables and half of my back hall closet has been lost for leaf storage. I also really like the Duncan Phyfe under carriage that avoids any users being stuck in front of a leg. Well done!!

A great looking, classy piece of furniture.

That's beautiful Matt. I showed my wife the video and her immediate comment was that looks easy and you don't have to fight with it.

Wow... what a talent! Wish you had a tv show, you'd make us very proud!

Turned out to be a great segue, Peter.
