I would have thought that it would look bad. but seeing it on this i think it really kinda of a neat detail(being on purpose or not.) I'm going to keep an eye out on something to try that on.

I did use a straight bit there. I didn't round the bottom of the groove but the I did give a little bit of a rounded profile to the inlay pieces. Hey Gary. I did use a straight bit there.

I really do enjoy watching you work. I have a question about the bottom of the grooves that you routed for the steel dowels to hang the top on. I may have missed some part of the process, but since the dowel is round and it looked like you used a straight grooving bit, what did you do at the bottom of the groove where the dowel comes out of the leg? Did you use a core box bit or just file the groove bottom with a round file? I admit this has been a bit of a curiosity for me, an itch that needs to be scratched. I apologize if I missed something in the videos that would answer this. Thanks, and once again , I enjoy your website and watching your videos! Gary Marc,

Demonstrating your techniques, discussing your design philosophy, sharing your problem solving and critiquing your own piece took A LOT of guts! What a great learning experience. Thanks for sharing all of this with us; and thank you for all of your time and efforts. Glad you are off the meds. (-: It was good to see the clown in his castle again; and, as always your choice in music (that funky jazz stuff), was hot! Grant Hey Marc,

Then it hit me. Your table would go perfectly in the restaurant at LAX. It's called "Encounter" and it has a 1960's ultra modern decor. (Imagine Disneyland's Tomorrowland meets Austin Powers.) Many of those designs look tacky because they're made of plastic. Your table, however, looks great with a modern design and classic, contrasting wood tones. I look forward to future episodes about finishing. This is one area where other woodworking shows have been seriously lacking. As much as I like DJM and Norm, they never had more than a few seconds on their shows to cover finishing. The more I looked at your table, the more it seemed somehow familiar, Marc. Then it hit me.

Running a blog, e-mails, dodging scapers as you called them, audio-podcast, shooting video, editing video, judging shows, blog contests, watching forums, posting on forums and in amongst all this contributing the build and educational value of an end table. Nicely done!!!! I'd love to see 3 to 5 of your viewers challenge themselves and take the theme of your piece and see what evolves.
